Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1094: Chapter 64: The Fierce General and the Wise General

Unable to use the Earth Escape Technique, nor the Fire Escape Technique, there was no way to search along the Earth Fire Main Vein. Thus, Senior Sister An once again resorted to the Shushan Sect disciples’ usual simple and crude thinking:

Chop through.

Wherever I need to go, I’ll just chop my way there.

The Sun True Obscure Sword greatly admired this behavior, because it actually didn’t like the complex Daoist Magic and secret techniques of the Human Race cultivators, which were flashy but couldn’t withstand a single poke from a Flying Sword.

However, An Zhisu’s pace was too slow, and it couldn’t bear to watch any longer.

Even if the rock walls were like tofu, carving out a passage wide enough to travel through wasn’t something that could be accomplished with a few strokes—after all, a Flying Sword wasn’t shaped like a shovel.

Yet, being the Fuxi Divine Sword, not even the Sun Sword Master was worthy of its proactive assistance, let alone a woman who wasn’t even a Sword Master.

She had to ask me for help first.

So, the Sun True Obscure Sword spoke up:

“Jiao Xiao, don’t you think this pace is too slow?”

“Hmm.” An Zhisu didn’t deny it, “but at least it’s working.”

“No.” The Sun True Obscure Sword quickly said, “effective or not, don’t you want to try a more effective method?”

“You mean…” An Zhisu caught on, “you have a more efficient way to advance under the sea…”

“No, I never said I did.” The Sun True Obscure Sword instantly retorted, to prevent An Zhisu from following up with “What’s your method then,” “Of course, I’m not denying I do. That’s something you need to figure out first, understand?”

An Zhisu:…

Completely don’t understand.

“So, do you have a way to help me or not?” she asked bluntly.

The directness of her speech left the Sun True Obscure Sword in a bind. On one hand, it appreciated this straightforward nature, but on the other hand, was troubled, because the Fuxi Divine Sword had its pride and dignity. Even if the Sword Master wanted to wield its power, they had to negotiate carefully… no Divine Sword would offer help willingly, treating it as a servant, would they?

“I’m saying.” It struggled to organize its words, “Let’s say, you’re making your way alone, right? And it’s slow, so you need a better method…”

“So I’m asking if you have a better method.” An Zhisu said.

“No, no, no.” The Sun True Obscure Sword quickly denied, “You can’t say it like that, because I am the Sun True Obscure Sword, get it? As the clan-guarding Divine Sword, one can’t just inquire so bluntly, isn’t that disrespectful?”

“So you’re unwilling to answer?” An Zhisu asked with a frown.

“Not unwilling,” the Sun True Obscure Sword was also agitated, “I ask you, if you wish for your master to teach you a secret technique, what would you do?”

“Just ask directly.” An Zhisu said.

“Ask directly?” The Sun True Obscure Sword was taken aback, “What if it’s a very precious, hard-to-teach secret technique?”

“Still ask directly,” An Zhisu said, “my master only has me and my junior brother as disciples, who else would he teach it to if not us?”

“Alright then.” The Sun True Obscure Sword was forced to alter its stance, “Suppose your master had many disciples, and this secret technique couldn’t be handed down lightly, so you had to exhibit a certain attitude to let your master feel it’s appropriate to teach you the secret technique.”

“No need to complicate things.” An Zhisu was getting dizzy by its reasoning, “Between my master and me… even if he had many disciples, and the secret technique could only be passed down to one person, he would definitely teach it to me.”

“Self-confidence is good.” The Sun True Obscure Sword snickered, “But you probably don’t know that even in the master-disciple relationship, not all are close-knit. For example, there’s a story I know about…”

It vividly recounted a “master and disciple turning hostile over secret technique inheritance” story, and finally concluded:

“Many disciples think their master will unconditionally treat them well, but little do they know that masters often have their own selfish motives, after all…”

“Not at all.” An Zhisu said honestly, “I’m his daughter.”

Sun True Obscure Sword:…

Turns out it was a father-daughter relationship, why didn’t you say so earlier?

Talking “selfish motives” to a father-daughter duo, that’s indeed a bit of a joke. Can a pupil and a biological daughter be equated?

“Alright, let’s not talk about your master.” It had no choice but to change its phrasing, “Then what about the Sect Guardian Immortal? If you want to learn a secret technique, and only an immortal knows it, how would you behave to make the immortal pass on the technique to you?”

“Why must it be the immortal to pass on the technique?” An Zhisu replied impatiently, “If my master doesn’t know it, then I just won’t learn it.”

“Let’s pretend you must learn it, okay?” The Sun True Obscure Sword was also exasperated, “Let’s say you must learn it, or else you won’t find your junior brother!”

“Then I’ll get my master to learn it and then teach it to me,” An Zhisu said.

“Ha, do you know how difficult it is to negotiate with most sect’s guardian immortals?” The Sun True Obscure Sword laughed coldly, “You must know, passing on the legacy is fundamental, if you wish to acquire someone’s Daoist secret technique, it’s not something that can be gained with a few words. Even if your master is the sect leader, to obtain secret techniques from the Sect Guardian Immortal, he’d have to be respectful, plead sincerely, and exhaust all connections…”

“The immortal is my master’s teacher.” An Zhisu said.

Sun True Obscure Sword:…

“Furthermore, my master is the only disciple the Immortal has.” An Zhisu jabbed again.

The Sun True Obscure Sword truly had no more tricks, resigning to honestly saying:

“Alright, I have a way that can let you move through the seabed effortlessly. But I can’t just give it to you like that, after all, you’re not the Sun Sword Master…”

“Then how can it be given to me?” An Zhisu asked.

“First, ask me, then I’ll consider…”
