Qi An roughly read through the "Magic Knife Scroll", had some understanding and clues, and then memorized it completely, word for word, and returned the book to the only quartermaster of the quartermaster department, Lord Yan.

At this time, it was still daylight, but a day and a night had passed, and the days of cultivation always passed quickly, just a little immersion in reading and comprehension, and time flew quietly.

Old man Yan took the book, looked at Qi An with interest in his two small eyes, and asked, "Have you memorized them all?"

Qi An nodded and replied respectfully, "I've memorized it all." ”

Old man Yan was surprised.

You must know that a cultivation book at the level of [Magic Knife], even if it is only the first volume, it is impossible to fully comprehend and master it within a day or two, and most learners will memorize it first, and then slowly refer to it on their own.

And this "Magic Knife Volume" doesn't look at only one trick knife method, but it also contains a cultivation method and a matching secret technique, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight pages, each page of several crosses, about seven or eight thousand words, ordinary people want to memorize all in one day and night, quite difficult.

Although the number of words in "The Magic Knife Volume I" is the smallest among the four great masters, it is not much less, and the other three volumes of the first volume of the mastery are only one or two thousand words.

With Old Man Yan's many years of experience in guarding the quartermaster department of the reserve camp, the newcomers who choose and watch the classics here can memorize a book of about 10,000 words word for word for two or three days, or four or five days at most, and Qi An only took one day, and this memory alone is commendable.

If Old Man Yan knew that it actually took less than half an hour for Qi An to memorize these thousands of words, and the rest of the time was spent understanding and comprehending, I am afraid that he would be so surprised that his jaw dislocated.

It is difficult for ordinary people to be unforgettable, and they must read it many times and constantly deepen their impression in order to remember a text deeply, while people with strong spirits have easy brains, strong learning ability and comprehension ability, and very good memory.

Generally speaking, those who can never forget are at least cultivators of the Divine Realm who have cultivated their divine sense, and below the Divine Refining Realm, the difference in memory is not obvious, even if they are Qi Condensing Cultivators, they may not be as good as a mortal who has not cultivated.

Qi An's ability to never forget is one of his many talents, this kind of person is rare, but it is not impossible, at least Old Man Yan has been in the quartermaster department for so many years, and he has never seen it.

Old man Yan had a little more affection for Qi An, so he told him: "No matter whether you have learned or not, and to what extent you have practiced, you can only be your own, and you must not teach others, even if it is your closest relatives or friends of life and death, you must not leak a word, otherwise if someone finds out, you and the other party will inevitably die, you must remember!"

Qi An nodded yes, but he felt a little strange in his heart, because the four sword techniques were widely spread in Qingzhou, and many people had cultivated, and the people Qi An knew were Murong Qing and Li Changsheng, why did these people dare to openly reveal themselves in front of people after cultivating?

In fact, the four sword techniques are not only cultivated and displayed by the people of the Sword King Mansion, for some divine sword guards who have made meritorious contributions, after obtaining the permission of the Sword King Mansion, they can pass on what they have learned to their relatives or friends, which is the case with Murong Qing and Li Changsheng. It's just that the four major sword tricks in the outer world are all just the most basic upper volume, the deeper middle volume and the lower volume that can exert full power, very few people outside know it, and that is the real secret of the Sword King's Mansion.

The reason why the Sword King Mansion did this was actually good for itself.

Because there are a lot of people who make knives in the world, many people yearn for the four great sword techniques of the Sword King's Mansion, in order to learn, they are willing to serve the Sword King's Mansion, and once they are passed on to the upper volume, and cultivate to perfection, they naturally need the middle volume to continue to improve, but if you want to get the middle volume, you must either become a divine sword guard, or become a loyal domestic slave, once so, you will be choked by the Sword King's Mansion to practice the lifeline, and you can only let it drive.

The Sword King's Mansion has attracted a large number of talents with its four sword techniques, and among the eight heavenly kings, the Sword King is in the forefront both in terms of its own strength and the power under its command.

After all, Qi An was still young and didn't understand the scheming of those big shots, so he didn't figure it out for a while. But he didn't care about this, after reading "The Magic Knife Volume I", what he was thinking about was the remaining three sword techniques, so he asked Old Man Yan: "Lord Yan, I want to ask, after I choose the [Magic Knife], can the remaining three sets of mastery still have a chance to comprehend?"

It seemed that he knew that Qi An would have such a question, but Old Man Yan didn't think about it, and replied very quickly: "You are a new member of the Divine Sword Guard Reserve Battalion, so the first set of sword techniques will be given away for free, if you want to learn others, you need to spend yuan beads to buy them, and three thousand yuan beads can be used to comprehend another set of sword techniques." ”

For the top-level supernatural mastery of the Four Great Sword Techniques, even if it is only a volume, it is extremely precious, and it can be learned for only three thousand yuan beads, which is simply the price of conscience.

Three thousand yuan beads seemed like a lot, but for a peak Qi Condensation Cultivator, it was not unbearable. Not to mention anything else, the members of the reserve battalion will receive a military salary of 120 yuan beads every month, and they don't need it at all, if they all accumulate it, it will be enough for two years. If you spend some more time hunting beasts and demons and selling corpse materials, this time will be greatly reduced.

When Qi An heard the news, he was happy in his heart, so he smiled and said goodbye to Lord Yan and left the Quartermaster compound.

Qi An remembered what Kui Hong had said when he left, and walked towards the barracks area with two sets of clothes and a pair of iron armor.

The so-called barracks are just a number of small stone houses, at a glance, densely packed, all the stone houses are sitting in the north and facing south, and they are quite neatly built, that is, the stone houses are too small and too simple, covering an area of only a square circle of zhang xu, and the gap between them is not spacious, and only three or four people can be accommodated at most. As a result, these stone houses divide the entire barracks area into numerous narrow roads that crisscross and criss-cross.

Qi An remembered that Kuihong said that the stone house where he lived was in the southwest corner, so he went directly to the southwest of the camp.

Almost every stone house has a name on the door, and the few stone houses without a name have open doors, so Qi An can roughly guess that the stone houses with names are inhabited, and the stone houses without names and with wide open doors are empty houses that are not used.

Following the not very spacious alleyway, Qi An looked at the name on the stone gate all the way, and soon found the location of Kuihong.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Qi An tapped the stone door engraved with the word "Kuihong" with his knuckles, and shouted softly: "Senior Brother Kui." ”

The stone gate opened, and Kuihong's tall figure appeared, with no expression on his face, but he just said to Qi An: "This is not a sect, nor is it a school, you don't need to call me senior brother, just call me by name." ”

Qi An was slightly stunned, feeling that Kuihong's tone and attitude were becoming more and more cold, but he didn't know where he had offended him.

Kuihong glanced at Qi An expressionlessly, didn't greet politely at all, and walked forward directly with his legs, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Qi An followed Kui Hong and walked silently, without saying much, casually looking at the stone gates that passed along the way, with names engraved on them, after seeing more than a dozen stone houses in a row, suddenly a familiar name appeared in Qi An's sight, which made him suddenly startled.

"Murong Qing, I heard that he came to the Sword King's Mansion, but I didn't expect that he was also in the Divine Sword Guard Reserve Camp!"

Qi An thought to himself, but he didn't stop, anyway, he would stay here for a long time in the future, catching up with old friends, there was no need to be in a hurry, he followed Kuihong to get down to business first.

Kuihong led Qi An to the northeast, crossed diagonally, and came to the northeast corner of the barracks area, he knocked on one of the stone gates, and then waited without saying a word, Qi An saw that the name engraved on the stone door was "Xiahou Yan".

Soon, a thin, cold-eyed, hook-nosed man nearly forty years old came out of the stone house, stared at Kui Hong with some displeasure, and shouted very unceremoniously: "Big man, you come and knock on Lao Tzu's door at every turn, disturbing Lao Tzu's cultivation, do you want to fight?"

Kui Honghun didn't care about Xiahou Yan's arrogance, and pointed at Qi An beside him coldly, and said to him: "Newcomer, the cultivation of the [Demon Sword] is handed over to you." ”

After speaking, Kuihong turned around and left, ignoring Xiahou Yan with an ugly face.

Xiahou Yan scolded angrily at his back, "bastard", and Kuihong heard it and neither got angry nor turned around, but just coldly replied "crazy".

Xiahou Yan's gaze turned around, staring at Qi An extremely unkindly, and asked, "What cultivation?"

Qi An replied honestly: "Mid-stage condensation." ”

Xiahou Yan scolded "waste" with disdain, casually pointed to a few stone houses not far away, and said to Qi An impatiently: "Those stone houses are basically empty, you choose one by yourself, engrave your name on the door, and then practice well, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, don't bother Lao Tzu if you have nothing to do, and when the time for patrolling and standing guard is arranged, someone will naturally notify you." ”

After that, Xiahou Yan no longer paid attention to Qi An, and went back to the house directly, slamming the stone door shut.

Qi An was a little stunned, he thought that the indifferent Kuihong was no longer very likable, but he didn't expect another more disgusting Xiahou Yan, and he didn't know what kind of identity this person was in the reserve camp, and he was so arrogant when he spoke, and he didn't take others seriously at all.

Qi An shook his head, he hadn't figured out the situation when he first arrived, and it was not easy to collide with these people, so he could only hold back for the time being.

Qi An walked around the neighborhood, found an empty stone house, cleaned up the dust at random, and carved his name on the stone door.

Changing into civilian clothes and putting on iron armor, Qi An walked out of the stone house and headed southwest, ready to go to Murong Qing to catch up.
