”From today onward, you may stay secluded at the Sword Pavilion to cultivate and refine your Sword Two skills to reach the Yin-Yang Chaos realm, hopefully before the ninth day of the ninth month, ” said the Moon-burier Sword Saint. ”Please feel free to consult the nine Sword Holders or myself, if you come across anything you don ’t understand. ”

Zhang Ruochen immediately stood up and bowed to him, saying, ”Sword saint, I will agree to represent the Yin and Yang Sect in the Sword Technique Conference on one condition. ”

”Please, ” said Moon-burier Sword Saint.

Zhang Ruochen said, ”I do not wish to practice at the Sword Pavilion. ”

Gai Tianjiao looked puzzled. She stood up, about to inquire further.

Many would be stunned to hear Zhang Ruochen reject the Moon-burier Sword Saint ’s offer for him to become his disciple, but the majority of people could still accept this.

However, he had just rejected the Moon-burier Sword Saint yet again. This time on his offer for Zhang Ruochen to practice in the Sword Pavilion. Did he not know that many were dying to have the opportunity to practice in the Sword Pavilion, even just once? Yet they were not given the opportunity.

The Moon-burier Sword Saint immediately gestured for Gai Tianjiao to sit down, then turned to Zhang Ruochen with a puzzled look, saying, ”But why? You have to be aware that there are various sword manuals and bountiful resources in the Sword Pavilion, moreover you can consult with the nine Sword Holders here. ”

”One more thing you may not be aware of is that the time you spend practicing in the first level of the Sword Pavilion is double compared to the outside world. By extension, the second level of the Sword Pavilion will provide you with triple the time compared to the external world. Based on the realm you have reached in the Tao of sword now, you may practice in the second level of the Sword Pavilion. ”

”By practicing in the Sword Pavilion, you might still stand a chance of reaching the ’Yin-Yang Chaos ’ realm of Sword Two by the ninth day of the ninth month. However, if you don ’t practice here, there ’s no way you will reach it. ”

Zhang Ruochen had a determined look in his eyes. ”My heart is not here. ” This statement made the Moon-burier Sword Saint want to laugh and cry at the same time.

”Are you thinking that we are trying to lock you up here by letting you practice in the Sword Pavilion? ” The Moon-burier Sword Saint let out a bellowing laugh.

Zhang Ruochen replied, ”If a sword practitioner ’s heart is bound, the speed of his practice and cultivation will be impeded regardless of how bountiful the external resources are. Don ’t you think the state of mind of the sword practitioner is of utmost importance, sword saint? ”

Although the Moon-burier Sword Saint thought Zhang Ruochen ’s reasoning was somewhat stretched, he had no idea how to respond.

Zhang Ruochen had rightly pointed out that the state of mind was of utmost importance. All other external resources were complimentary.
