Path Of Sword Master

It was morning when Li Jie can be seen exercising his physique by pulling up weights, stretching, doing some unnatural martial poses which were mentioned in the "PERFECT PHYSIQUE REFINEMENT" to help the user in adapting and completely absorbing the energy which was released by the "Blood Path Orb" and it had also helped him in reaching the Red stage of body refinement cultivation.

According to what his master has taught him is that if Li Jie wants, he can release more blood essence energy and increase his cultivation non-stop to the Indigo stage, but of course, at the same time it will be extremely harmful to him in the future, as it will make his foundation unstable and the path to go forward will be cut off as he will be stuck in the same realm till death, after having something as miraculous as Xing ZhenKang's "Blood Path Orb", so at first, he has to familiarise himself with the Red stage of body refinement cultivation and also absorb all the excess energy in his body which might go to waste, if he doesn't start working soon, those energies will only turn to waste, as his master had informed him.

After some time of performing different exercises, he finally laid down on the ground to rest, while he had many thoughts in his head, what he was most looking forward to was his meeting with his master.

After finishing all his practices, Li Jie went to his room, where maid Xiao Chu can be seen who has already prepared breakfast for him, Li Jie was obviously surprised by her presence, after all, there was never any fixed person who would serve as his maid.

Looking at Li Jie's doubtful face, maid Xiao Chu started to explain to him, that for all his needs, she will be following him everywhere as she was sent by the Head maid to be his personal maid, she will be responsible for taking care of the eldest young master of the Li clan, while Li Ji was not sure about the reason for the Head maid to do so, what he didn't know was that after his little episode at the maid quarters, had given the Head maid almost a heart attack, which is why she made sure for such incident to never repeat again.

Li Jie didn't think much about this arrangement as he was more comfortable with maid Xiao Chu around, who can help him with many things, for which he would have to run around, but this is also good, he thought.

After finishing his breakfast, Li Jie went to meet his younger siblings, with whom he spent some time, after which he went to the training pagoda, where his master was waiting for him, looking at his disciple, he smiled lightly, looking at his master's smiling face only made him more guilty.

Unexpectedly Li Jie suddenly kneeled on the floor with a thud, which surprised Mr.Teacher,  however, before he could say anything.

He heard Li Jie say, "Master, I apologize for my mistake and for me to take the path of sword lightly, I should have been more careful and attentive and not underestimate the severity of the difficulty that you explained, after all, you did for me and I still doubted your teachings and the path of sword, even if master stops teaching me, I will never forget your favor, as for the path of sword, I have determined and I have steeled my conviction towards the way of sword, even if I don't have any talent towards it or if I don't have the love towards it, which those fanatics of the sword have, I will never change my "SELF", I will always keep going down towards this path, with no one stopping me, whosoever tries to stop me will be cut by my sword, I have decided and now I am more sure than ever that I will always be what I have always wanted to be, no matter how much time passes, I will still go down the path, that I have, it will be my sword, I will pour all my feelings in my sword, I will do what is necessary and it will be myself who will turn into a sword if necessary to do the right thing in my heart".

After telling what he wanted to tell his master, what Li Jie didn't know was, as he poured all his feelings and said it to his master, his eyes shone for a bit, his soul which had become white after the dirty old man cleared his view towards the sword, was now giving off a golden luster around the corners of his soul.

No one noticed it, except for Li Jie's master, who couldn't help but smile, after all from his vision, his goal was getting clearer and after what Li Jie had just said, some things which he couldn't explain have now become clearer to him, albeit not completely, but still, things should be taken one step at a time, and the best part was still the fact that Li Jie had at least taken the first step towards an unknown path, about which no one knows about except for Mr.Teacher, and that too his knowledge regarding it wasn't clear but seeing his disciple who was working hard and had the right mindset towards this path was the biggest reason.

Li Jie, who was kneeling was lifted up with a gust of essence energy which was controlled by Mr.Teacher, after lifting his head, Li Jie looked at his master, who said to him, "Didn't I say that you should not kneel, you should believe in yourself more, and why do you think would I be upset with you, after all, no matter how high our cultivation gets, aren't we still humans, so it's obvious that we would make mistakes, so you don't have to worry too much about it, as long as you succeed no matter what happens in the process, and you can always learn from the experience from your mistakes, remember Li Jie, we are humans, and we are bound to make mistakes, but that also gives us the opportunity to right our mistakes".

Li Jie felt happy and started to ponder on his master's teachings, later on, they discussed more about cultivation and other topics, he was then made to write those words which were written by different sword users, while he was stuck and wasn't able to copy it completely, but even one of it was still a big headache for him, Li Jie always felt that the physical exercises were better than this writing one, which was complete torture for him, while he didn't like writing then, again and again, his respect for his master was too much that he couldn't ignore any of this, so he went on and decided to do as his master had instructed him to do, and after that, he had to clean the floor around the training pagoda.

After doing everything as his master instructed him to do, he was then given a set of punching techniques, which were the most basic ones, which can also be bought by any shop, at first Li Jie was skeptical about this, after all his Li family had an abundance of punching techniques of higher levels which would provide higher strength.

Looking at Li Jie's curious expression, Mr.Teacher then explained to him, that just because these techniques are of the lowest grade doesn't mean he should underestimate them, everything started from low grade, same with humans, who advance from mortal to immortal, that doesn't mean the techniques of lower grade are not beneficial, as a matter of fact, they are as effective as other techniques can be, "Remember Li Jie, techniques do make a difference but it is nothing in front of the skills of the user if the user is unskilled, then no matter how high-grade technique that person learns, it will be nothing but trash, so it is better to first get comfortable your way around low-grade techniques, which will help you in creating your own way of fighting, instead of following the technique from the book, it is better to understand to fight with your own self by using the technique of others and use those which suit you or any situation where it will be needed.

Li Jie understood and started to ponder about his master's teachings, which made him feel, that he shouldn't underestimate anyone or anything, after reading the summaries of each technique made him understand, that only after he learns all these techniques, will he be able to start learning the higher grade techniques.

"Li Jie after you finish mastering these techniques, you should get ready for another exploration towards the forest, where you will be fighting and hunting demon beasts of your level, and don't worry, unlike last time, you will only be at the outer areas of the forest, and I will make it so that any beast which will be beyond your capability to handle will be redirected towards somewhere else", said Mr.teacher with a chuckle.
