"Doesn't it mean to sever all emotional ties?" You You was taken aback; this was different from the novel!
"Of course not!" Qiu Zhang shook his head, looking at him with a "How could you think that?" expression. "A cultivator must have emotions in their heart in order to be able to draw their sword without feeling." If one is severing emotions and love, are they still human?
Upon closer reflection, Youyou wondered if it was because Shuiyan's swordsmanship was so unpredictable that she couldn't stop herself once the sword was drawn, which was why she had beaten him up like that. Well, she was relieved that it wasn't her fault and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Zhang, however, remained excited. He picked up a copy from a stack of copied books on the table, floated over, and said expectantly, "Sect Master, take a look at this copy. How well is it copied? Is it good enough for five cents? When will my Qiu Zhang Technique be passed down to the world?"
"Huh?" You You didn't understand what he meant for a moment. She took the book from his hand, glanced at it casually, and felt that it looked somewhat familiar. "Isn't this your cultivation manual? Why did you copy so much of it?"
"Passing on the tradition!" Qiu Zhang exclaimed excitedly. "A single copy can only be passed on to one disciple at a time. By copying multiple copies, more cultivators can learn these techniques. Then, we can gradually spread them throughout the world and achieve the prosperity we once envisioned, where each copy costs only five cents!"
"..." No, how obsessed are you with a book that costs five cents?
You You was somewhat speechless, but the teacher's enthusiasm for teaching was still worth encouraging. "Why do you want to copy it by hand? Why not just use a jade slip to inscribe it? Wouldn't that be more convenient and faster?" A jade slip can be copied in less than a quarter of an hour using spiritual energy. How long would it take to copy it by hand?
"Oh, this is what Elder Ling instructed."
“Ling Qi?” You You was taken aback.
“That’s right!” Qiu Zhang pointed to the pile of books he had already copied and said, “Elder Ling said that people in this world have always liked old things. The older they are, the more they like them. So hand-copying is more likely to attract attention than using jade slips. Especially since the ones I personally copy always carry a bit of my own sword intent, which is more conducive to their inheritance.”
Youyou glanced at the pages in her hand. Indeed, the paper was all old, as if it had been stored for a long time. It must have been deliberately aged from the beginning.
No, why does this situation feel somewhat fake?
