C316 We Have Fulfilled Our Wish
Do as you wish.
"Don't tell me you don't want to? Forget it then." At this moment, Zhang Lingshuang's face revealed a disappointed expression. She felt that she had thought too naively of Hsiang Yang. As long as it was a cultivator who came out of the door, they would know the difference between the Sword Controlling Arts and the Earth Shrinking Technique. Hsiang Yang would never let her take advantage of him.
When she thought about how a legendary divine ability was about to miss her, Zhang Lingshuang felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
"No, no, no."
Hsiang Yang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Let me tell you the truth. It is not that I am unwilling to exchange with you. It's just that... Because my cultivation technique was accidentally comprehended by me, and I haven't fully understood the essence of it. Now that I can only use it by myself, I definitely won't be able to teach you for a short period of time. However, if you are willing to wait, after I completely understand what this cultivation technique is, I'll teach it to you."
As he spoke, Hsiang Yang nervously looked at Zhang Lingshuang, afraid that she would find out what he was doing. At that time, the Sword Controlling Arts that he dreamed of would be gone. That would be terrible.
"What did you say? Your 'Ground Shrink' ability was comprehended by you? No one taught you? " Zhang Lingshuang was so shocked by Hsiang Yang's words that her eyeballs almost fell out. She looked at Hsiang Yang blankly.
'Ground Shrink 'was a legendary divine ability. It was a famous divine ability in the ancient era. It was an unparalleled divine ability. How could it be comprehended by this guy just like that? Is this for real?
Zhang Lingshuang had a strong suspicion about Hsiang Yang, but it didn't seem like Hsiang Yang was lying. She was caught in a dilemma.
"Yes, I just learned it two days ago. However, I am more and more familiar with it now. Just give me a few months' time. I believe that I will be able to understand the reason behind it. At that time, I will be able to truly create this cultivation technique. When the time comes, I'll be able to teach you." Hsiang Yang had yet to understand how powerful the skill he had created was, and he still wanted to learn the Sword Controlling Arts skill. He just wanted to get rid of Zhang Lingshuang first and learn the Sword Controlling Arts from her. He would talk about the other things in the future.
"If you believe me, I will teach you after I figure out what this technique is."
Hsiang Yang looked at Zhang Lingshuang with sincerity. He was nervous, afraid that Zhang Lingshuang would see through his plan. When that time came, he would miss the chance to learn the Sword Controlling Arts.
"Are you really willing to trade the 'Ground Shrink' skill with me for the Sword Controlling Arts?" Zhang Lingshuang looked at Hsiang Yang in disbelief. She was afraid that she had misheard him. Even if it was an incomplete 'Ground Shrink' skill, the value of it was not something a common skill, the Sword Controlling Arts, could compare with. This guy was actually so good. He was really willing to pass it on to her? Is he really a fool or is he a fake fool?
Zhang Lingshuang naturally did not understand the desire of someone like Hsiang Yang, who was not a member of the sect, for the Sword Controlling Arts. To Zhang Lingshuang, it was a very ordinary technique, the Sword Controlling Arts. To Hsiang Yang, it was something he desired but could not ask for. The 'Ground Shrink' technique was something he had inadvertently comprehended. It was just a movement technique, but Hsiang Yang did not feel that it had anything special about it.
This was the feeling of a well-fed man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man.
"Of course I'm willing to trade with you, but right now, although I can use the Earth Shrink skill, but I still can't tell you what exactly is going on. If you believe me, wait for me for a while. When I truly understand the profundity of this art... I'll definitely pass it on to you once I've completely created it." Hsiang Yang patted his chest and promised repeatedly. He even repeated what he had just said.
"I believe you." Zhang Lingshuang opened her mouth and agreed. To her, even if Hsiang Yang went back on his word in the end, she would not lose anything. This was because the Sword Controlling Arts was very rare in Hsiang Yang's eyes, but it wasn't a secret technique amongst the major powers of Daoism. She didn't feel any pressure when passing the technique to Hsiang Yang.
If Hsiang Yang could really create his own 'Ground Shrink' technique and pass it on to Zhang Lingshuang, then it would be very valuable. She would be able to earn a lot from it.
"I can pass the Sword Controlling Arts to you now, but you have to make sure that you can't pass it on to too many people. Also, you can't tell anyone that I am the one who taught you the Sword Controlling Arts." Zhang Lingshuang said.
What she said was that she couldn't pass it on to too many people, and not that Hsiang Yang couldn't pass it on to others. This indicated that the cultivation technique itself wasn't a rare thing. If it was really a secret cultivation technique... Even if she dared to exchange it with Hsiang Yang, she would still ask him not to pass it on to others. If Hsiang Yang calmed down, he would understand the key of this matter. However... At this moment, his heart was filled with the desire to learn the Sword Controlling Arts, so he didn't think about the crux of the matter.
"Alright, I promise you. Similarly, after I create the Earth Shrinking Technique... I will teach it to you as soon as possible, and you must promise me that you won't teach it to anyone else." Hsiang Yang's face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He had never thought that it would be so easy for him to obtain the Sword Controlling Arts. It was simply a pleasant surprise.
Both of them thought that they had gained a huge advantage, and each of them had their own thoughts. However, they didn't know that this kind of exchange didn't have any benefits to begin with. It was just that each of them had their own needs.
"We just met not too long ago, and I still don't know where you came from. So, how about we make a contract?" Zhang Lingshuang looked at Hsiang Yang nervously. As long as this last step was completed... She was not afraid that Hsiang Yang would go back on his word, but many people would not easily make an oath. Because the karma involved was too great, it wouldn't affect the early stages of cultivation. However, if one's cultivation base reached a higher level, it would be a huge problem.
Although Hsiang Yang had been learning from his master since he was young, but... Because his master had left ten years ago, he hadn't given many things to Hsiang Yang. He didn't know that for cultivators, an oath couldn't be made lightly. He looked at Zhang Lingshuang with a smile, "No problem."
"Alright. With heaven and earth as the witness, I, Zhang Lingshuang, have decided to pass the Sword Controlling Arts to Hsiang Yang. I will use this to exchange for the cultivation technique he created, 'Ground Shrink'. After he finished creating the cultivation technique, pass it to me as soon as possible, as proof. " Zhang Lingshuang impatiently raised her hand and swore to the heavens.
"With heaven and earth as the witness, I, Hsiang Yang, will immediately pass the 'Ground Shrink' technique to Zhang Lingshuang after I, Hsiang Yang, create it. This will be used to repay her kindness of passing on the 'Sword Controlling Arts' to me, as proof." Hsiang Yang also raised his hand and spoke in a dignified manner. In his heart, he thought with disdain. This kind of thing that had been sworn by the heavens and the earth had long been outdated, and only this silly girl would believe it. But this is also good. I will be able to learn the Sword Controlling Arts soon.
When he thought about how he was going to learn the Sword Controlling Arts soon, Hsiang Yang was extremely excited in his heart. He wanted to laugh out loud, but he didn't notice it. Yes. Zhang Lingshuang took out a piece of yellow paper and chanted something. The yellow paper in her hand started to burn. It turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a thunderous sound echoed in the sky, as if it was responding to their oath.
"The oath has been fulfilled. If both of us break the oath, we will be punished by the heavens and the earth" Zhang Lingshuang said with a smile. Finally, the transaction was completed. She was extremely happy in her heart, and she also found Hsiang Yang to be much more pleasing to the eye.
"Don't worry. I am the most honest person." Hsiang Yang patted his chest and promised, but he muttered in his heart. I only swore to teach you the 'Ground Shrink' technique. I didn't say 'Close, Yet Worlds Apart'. Cough, cough. It seems that the cultivation method I created was' Close, Yet Worlds Apart 'and not' Ground Shrink '. I swore that I would come to repay you for passing on the Sword Controlling Arts to me, but I wouldn't return the favor. It isn't a debt, so I assume that the heavens are aware of it, and they wouldn't blame me for it.1
Hsiang Yang thought complacently in his heart. If Zhang Lingshuang were to become his friend in the future... Hsiang Yang didn't mind completing the exchange agreement and passing his' Close, Yet Worlds Apart 'cultivation technique to Zhang Lingshuang. However, if the two of them became unfriendly, Hsiang Yang would not foolishly follow the so-called promise and teach her the cultivation method.
"I am really too smart."
Even Hsiang Yang felt that his intelligence was unparalleled. The path of retreat that he kept for himself was flawless. Even if the oath was useful, he was not afraid.
Zhang Lingshuang held a thumb-sized crystal jade slip and handed it to Hsiang Yang. "This jade slip contains all the divine abilities and techniques of the Sword Controlling Arts. I see that you have already cultivated your Divine Sense. You only need to send your divine sense into it and you will be able to obtain everything inside."
"Alright."
A smile appeared on Hsiang Yang's face. He took the jade slip and saw that it was only the size of a thumb. However, there was a warmth within it, and there was a light flowing within it. A mysterious force was contained within it. Obviously, it was the cultivator's technique.
Hsiang Yang knew that the jade slip was the medium used by the cultivator to record and transmit cultivation techniques, so he was no stranger to it. As he laughed softly, he impatiently sent his Divine Sense into it. Immediately, a vast amount of information was absorbed by him.
Although this information was powerful, it was within Hsiang Yang's ability to withstand it. Therefore, he only felt that his head was swollen, and he didn't notice anything wrong. Very quickly, he memorized all the techniques of the Sword Controlling Arts in the jade slip. After putting away the jade slip, Hsiang Yang stood where he was, his eyes closed as he fell into deep thought.
"This guy is really stupid. If I wanted to harm him, he would have died long ago."
Zhang Lingshuang felt touched when she saw Hsiang Yang trust her so much, but she also felt that Hsiang Yang was a little stupid, like a newbie who did not know how to defend himself.
However, Zhang Lingshuang still wanted to get the 'Ground Shrink' skill from Hsiang Yang, so naturally, she had no reason to hurt Hsiang Yang. She stood by the side to protect Hsiang Yang.
The current Hsiang Yang was not a person in Zhang Lingshuang's eyes, but a legendary magic skill that had been lost for countless years, 'Ground Shrink'. She did not want to let Hsiang Yang get hurt at all.
What Zhang Lingshuang did not know was that Hsiang Yang did not fully focus on comprehending the Sword Controlling Arts. He had the nine-colored sword qi in his hand. If Zhang Lingshuang really wanted to attack Hsiang Yang... She wouldn't be able to gain any benefits from it.
Since more than ten years ago, he had been roaming the western world by himself. Hsiang Yang had witnessed the darkest things in this world. He had also experienced countless schemes and plots. How could he be compared to those young men who had just come out of the martial world? Unless he was a person who could be trusted. Otherwise... It was impossible for Hsiang Yang to trust a person whom he had just met, even if the person was a beauty.
