After changing her master, she turned to the ruthless way, and the whole sect knelt down

"'Ruthless Sword Technique'? What a vulgar name."

After finally getting through the night, Xie Liuyin immediately went to look for his master at 3:00 PM the next day, holding the martial arts manual he had accidentally found the day before.

Unexpectedly, Xianyue started to mock the name as soon as he saw it.

Xie Liuyin didn't like to hear it, even though she felt the name wasn't powerful enough. But who could blame her for having a special liking for this one among so many martial arts techniques?

When she picked up the fallen martial arts book from the ground, she felt as if she was hit by something, and an idea immediately popped up in her mind - this is it!

Although Xie Liuyin couldn't tell the grade of this technique, she felt that this sword technique was really suitable for her, so she chose it without thinking.

Later, Ah Liu explained to her that books like these without obvious grade markings were all ancient books collected during the time of the Supreme Elder.

This kind of ancient martial arts is difficult to learn, so Ah Liu suggested that Xie Liuyin should not try to figure it out on his own, but it would be safer to find Xianyue to learn from him.

Xie Liuyin thought the same, so when her cheap master woke up, she hurried over to ask for advice.

"You have a good eye. You found the only heaven-level martial arts book in the entire library just like that." Xianyue lay in the rocking chair and casually flipped through the sword manual.

The words he uttered lightly almost made Xie Liuyin's jaw drop.

"Master, is this really a heavenly-level technique?" Xie Liuyin widened his eyes.

Xianyue snorted softly, "How could I possibly lie to you? It's just that this technique is incredibly difficult to learn. From the day it was first discovered until now, I've never seen a swordsman master this set of sword techniques."

He looked up at the girl, his eyes filled with teasing. "Do you know that the word 'ruthless' before the sword technique refers to the ruthless way?"

Xie Liuyin couldn't help but frown. "Could it be that in order to learn the sword technique, I must first enter the ruthless path? If I enter the ruthless path, will I become cold and indifferent, no longer bound by emotions?"

Speaking of the latter part, Xie Liuyin actually seemed eager to try it out.

If she could cut off her emotions and focus on cultivating the Tao, it might not be a bad thing for her.

Xianyue sneered when he heard this, and he rolled up the sword manual into a tube without any hesitation and hit Xie Liuyin's head hard with it.

"Where did you hear this nonsense? You've read too many stories about men killing their wives to prove their faith. Even a good and orthodox Taoist method has become evil in your mouth." Xianyue rolled his eyes without caring about his image.

He really didn't care about the severity of his attack on his only disciple. Xie Liuyin rubbed his head but didn't dare to resist.

In her previous life, she had indeed heard that there were cultivators who, in order to cultivate the Way of Ruthlessness, became partners with their beloved and then killed him with their own hands on their wedding night.

It is said that the monk's cultivation level immediately increased by a small level, which made him very happy. He even said that his Taoist partner's death was not in vain.

It’s a pity that the rumor ended here, and no one knows what happened to the monk.

Xie Liuyin felt quite regretful at the time. It was a pity that she didn't know the monk's name, otherwise she would have taught him a lesson when she saw him!

Xianyue had no idea that in just a few words, his cheap disciple would have so many thoughts in his head.

Seeing the little girl lowering her head and not saying anything, he thought Xie Liuyin had realized her mistake, so he spoke cheerfully, "The so-called ruthless path doesn't mean forgetting the ties to emotion. On the contrary, it is precisely because of emotion that one can cultivate the ruthless path. The ruthless path is to forget petty emotions and love, and to love all living beings without bias."

"When you can truly treat all living things equally, you will have completely comprehended the true meaning of the Way of Mercy. Without personal feelings, there will be no partiality. Not showing partiality to any being is like being merciless."

Xianyue's tone was a little melancholy, and when she spoke of these things it was as if she was talking about an old friend. Xie Liuyin felt an inexplicable heaviness when she heard it.

"It's extremely difficult to achieve this, which is why the ruthless path is so difficult to cultivate." Xianyue continued to explain, "As for the rumored ruthless path of severing all emotions and love, even killing one's wife to attain enlightenment, it's nothing more than a fall into the devil's way. While it can rapidly increase cultivation in the early stages, it's extremely easy to develop inner demons in the later stages, and no good results will come from it at all."

After saying that, Xianyue returned the martial arts book to Xie Liuyin.

"If you really want to practice the "Ruthless Sword Technique", don't think about the ruthless way first. Go to the Sunrise Cliff and swing the sword ten thousand times every day. When you have learned the basic sword moves of the Qingxiao Sect, then you can plan to learn this sword technique!" He waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to rest.

Xie Liuyin tactfully left Xianyue's room, asked Ah Liu to help her find a wooden sword, and then went to Sunrise Cliff to practice swordplay.

After Xie Liuyin walked away, Xianyue, who was supposed to continue catching up on his sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction where his little disciple's breath came from.

"He's really good at picking. Not only did he pick the most difficult martial arts book to practice, but it's also a fragment." Xianyue shook his head helplessly.

Qianmen said that he had already read all the martial arts techniques in the library, and naturally he did not miss this legendary heavenly martial arts technique.

Xianyue had thought about learning it at first, but who knew that this was actually a fragment. Even after learning the beginning, he couldn't find the end, and couldn't get a conclusion.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead, helplessly saying softly: "Forget it, she is my disciple after all, so I will find a way to help her complete this technique."

Xie Liuyin, completely unaware of this, swung his sword for several hours on Sunrise Cliff. When he finally swung it ten thousand times in unison, he felt as if his entire right hand no longer belonged to him.

She was soaked in sweat and had no strength left, but Ah Liu still dragged her back into the house.

Fortunately, there was also a recovery formation set up in Xie Liuyin's room. She took a nap in the room and felt refreshed again the next day.

However, Xie Liuyin did not dare to be lazy. As soon as she woke up, she ate some breakfast brought by Ah Liu, then picked up the wooden sword and hurried to the Sunrise Cliff.

As Xie Liuyin's master, Xianyue naturally did not miss this enthusiasm of Xie Liuyin. His spiritual consciousness spread throughout the Yaori Peak, and he knew everything his little disciple did every day.

Seeing that the little girl was almost exhausted yesterday, but still came forward to swing the sword so determinedly today, Xianyue couldn't help but be more tolerant and patient towards this disciple who was forced upon him.

Just like that, before Xie Liuyin officially started practicing, he had already wielded the sword for three days on the Sunrise Peak.

On the fourth day, Xianyue got up early, which was rare for her. She stopped Xie Liuyin who was about to go practice sword skills and said that she would take her down the mountain to attend the apprenticeship ceremony.

Hearing this, Xie Liuyin slapped his head.

Yes, Ah Liu had reminded her before that the new disciples’ apprenticeship ceremony would be held in three days, and both she and Xie Mingzhu would be present.

But she had spent all her time practicing sword skills these days and had forgotten such an important matter.

Xie Liuyin put away his wooden sword and was about to go down the mountain with Xianyue. However, just as he took a step, his master called out to him disdainfully, "You're going out with me wearing just this?"

Xie Liuyin looked down at his clean and tidy disciple uniform and didn't feel anything was wrong.

Xianyue resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said to Ah Liu in a cold voice, "Take her to change her clothes. Change her into that mermaid silk skirt with golden butterfly pattern."
