Zhuge Qing laughed, making the atmosphere less tense. "Alas, after becoming the sect leader, the burden on me has become heavier, and there are more things I need to consider."

"This secret manual was created by the founder of the Qingshan Sect. After you practice it, you are considered half a member of the Qingshan Sect. I hope that if the Qingshan Sect is in trouble in the future, you can lend a helping hand within your ability."

If he had not seen Li Xuan's talent, he would naturally not say such words, because he himself is at the peak of the eighth level, and is also the best among the group below the peak combat power.

If it is a problem that he cannot handle by himself, then only the peak combat power will be helpful. Now Li Xuan has proved that he has the talent to be promoted to the peak combat power.

"Oh, what kind of condition is this! Just based on our relationship, my disciple will definitely help you!" Gu Xianzhi said.

Li Xuan put away the secret book and said immediately, "Uncle Master, don't worry. If that day comes, I will definitely do my best to help Qingshan Sect."

Zhuge Qing nodded: "Okay, I'm just talking. At present, apart from those at the peak of combat power, no one who can shake the Qingshan Sect has been born yet."

Gu Xianzhi realized that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't delay any longer and stood up to say goodbye: "Old Pig, I still have to visit some other brothers, so I won't accompany you for now."

Zhuge Qing naturally knew what he was going to do, and smiled and shook his head: "You!"

Outside the reception room, the sect's eldest sister Hai Qing had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Master Li Xuan and his disciple coming out, she immediately went to greet them.

"Uncle, I'm here to take you two down the mountain."

"Little Qing, will you participate in this martial arts conference?" Gu Xianzhi asked.

Hai Qing nodded and said, "Well, Qingshan Sect has three spots this time. I will represent Qingshan Sect's seventh-level warriors to compete in this martial arts tournament."

"That's good. Then you can have a battle with my disciple, and you two can have a good communication." Gu Xianzhi said with a smile.

Hai Qing looked at Li Xuan. After some mental preparation, she had lost her initial shyness. "Then I'll be grateful for your guidance when the time comes!"

"Please show mercy to me, senior sister." Li Xuan said humbly.

"You two can discuss martial arts more often in the future. You're both geniuses of the same age, so naturally you'll have a lot to talk about!"

Gu Xianzhi was doing the matchmaking work on the side.

However, Li Xuan's answers were always ambiguous, maintaining politeness without actually engaging in in-depth communication.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Qingshan Sect. Hai Qing stopped and said, "Then, Junior Brother, we'll see you at the Martial Arts Conference!"

"See you at the martial arts conference!" Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Then, I went with my master to the next old friend's location.

"Master, what are you doing with the love story? I don't have the mood for that right now." Li Xuan complained.

"Oh, how old are you, and you have no thoughts? You are really useless!" Gu Xianzhi teased.

Then, he began to recount his romantic past: "Thinking back to the days when your master was so talented and suave, I don't know how many girls lined up to be with him..."

"So, men, you still have to..."

Li Xuan immediately blocked his voice and took out the Tianxin Woyi Jue to observe it. This secret book was also obscure and difficult to understand.

It was similar to the strange scene carved on the door when we were trapped in the Tianheng Shrine.

But since I have experience in this area, I am not completely clueless when I try to comprehend it.

After seeing this secret manual, Gu Xianzhi stopped bragging and said seriously, "Old Pig has really invested a lot this time. He treats you well and is a trustworthy person. You can always go to him if you have any troubles in the future."

"Don't be afraid of bothering him. He actually hopes to help a genius like you and make you owe him a favor."

Listening to his master's words, Li Xuan nodded. He believed in his master, so he believed everything his master said.

Since this master was recommended by the protector himself, there was naturally no problem, and he also recommended Sect Master Zhuge to himself.

Naturally, they are also elders who can be trusted.

"Master, what is the effect of this Tianxin Woyi Jue?" Li Xuan asked.

"This is a secret technique. Practicing it can improve your attributes across the board. If you reach the entry level, your attributes will increase by 10%, and if you reach the minor level, they'll increase by 30%."

"If you cultivate to the Great Completion, you will get a 50% improvement, and if you cultivate to the Perfection, you will get an 80% improvement!"

hiss!

Li Xuan took a deep breath. "Is it really that terrifying? If you practice it, wouldn't it increase your combat power by 80%?"

"It's not that simple. In fact, those of us at the eighth level also have our own secret techniques that we specialize in. They vary in difficulty and effectiveness. The Heavenly Heart and My Will Technique is considered the most advanced secret technique."

Gu Xianzhi explained.

In other words, these eighth-level characters have basically improved their own attributes, so the attributes improved through levels in the later stage are no longer the most critical.

After hearing such an exaggerated effect, Li Xuan immediately began to practice.

If one wants to comprehend such a secret book, one can only spend time to ponder it bit by bit, so he is unwilling to waste this little time on the journey.

Soon, the two came to a cave, and Gu Xianzhi immediately patted Li Xuan, who had already been fascinated.

"Wake up, we're here!"

Li Xuan woke up from his contemplation and immediately followed. This cave did not look impressive at all, and there was almost nothing special about it from the outside.

"Master, your old friend lives here?" Li Xuan asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

A question came from the cave: "What's wrong with living here? You seem to look down on my home!"

Li Xuan didn't expect that everyone had heard this. He waved his hands and said, "No, no! Senior really has the demeanor of a great man. He's not fussy at all!"

"Hmph, you're so smooth-talking, just like your master!"

From the dark cave, a skinny old man walked out.

Gu Xianzhi greeted him with a smile: "Old ghost, it's been a while since we last met. You're still as charming as ever!"

The skinny old man was only wrapped in a piece of rag, and his words sounded a bit sarcastic no matter how you looked at them.

"Same here."

The skinny old man snorted.

He seemed to have some problems with Gu Xianzhi.

"Let's not waste any more time. This time I want you to meet my good disciple!"

Gu Xianzhi immediately introduced them to each other, "This is my good friend: Black Mountain Old Ghost, and this is my good disciple: Gu Linfeng!"

"Hello, Uncle Black Mountain Ghost!"

Li Xuan immediately greeted him with a smile.

But as soon as this nickname came out, the skinny old man's face immediately darkened: "Who the hell allowed you to introduce me to a nickname!"

"Hey, doesn't this sound more intimate?"

Gu Xianzhi laughed shamelessly.
