Origin Returning Sect, outer disciple residential area.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A rapid series of knocks sounded at the door.
"Zhang Su, your family's old servant is here. He's waiting outside the mountain gate."
The door opened, and Zhang Su stepped out.
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, as though he were trying to recall something.

"Right. It's the beginning of the month. Uncle Guan is probably here to deliver money again..."
Zhang Su immediately headed toward the mountain gate.

Before long, he spotted a familiar figure.
It was an elderly servant.
His back was hunched as he peered into the mountain gate.
"Uncle Guan."
Е̊ n.u m̃ а
Zhang Su quickly walked over.
When Uncle Guan saw Zhang Su, a smile appeared on his face. He hurried forward and said cheerfully, "Second Young Master, the five hundred taels of silver Eldest Young Master sends you every month have already been deposited into your identity plaque at the Origin Returning Sect."
"Also, these are Blood-Replenishing Pills Eldest Young Master specifically asked someone to purchase. They're beneficial for martial arts training. And there's also..."
Uncle Guan had brought many things.

Zhang Su knew they had all been sent by the "elder brother" in his memories.
His relationship with his elder brother was very complicated.
Ẇ е̇bṅ o v ê l̀ Е̊ n̆u̇ mǎ
He had unilaterally declared that he was severing all ties with his elder brother.
Yet his elder brother still had Uncle Guan bring silver and supplements up the mountain for him every month.
Seeing Zhang Su remain silent, Uncle Guan let out a long sigh.
But he said nothing.
He was an old servant of the Zhang Family.
He knew the Zhang Family's affairs very well.

But when it came to the matter between the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, all he could do was sigh inwardly.
"Is... Elder Brother doing well?"
After a long while, Zhang Su slowly spoke.
"Hm?"
Uncle Guan abruptly raised his head.
How long had it been since he had heard Zhang Su call him "Elder Brother"?
W е̇ b́ nоvе l Е̊ ǹ ú mȧ
"Second Young Master, you..."
Uncle Guan was overwhelmed with emotion.

Had the Second Young Master finally forgiven the Eldest Young Master?
Zhang Su took a deep breath, then said, "Uncle Guan, when you go back, thank Elder Brother for me."
"Of course! I'll definitely pass on your words! Eldest Young Master will be so happy..."
Uncle Guan wiped away his tears.
Е ñ umа
He was far too emotional.
Only the Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, and Young Miss remained in the Zhang Family now.
He had seen the strained relationship between the two young masters with his own eyes, and it had worried him deeply.
For an entire year, Zhang Su had not once gone down the mountain to see his elder brother.

Who would have thought Zhang Su would suddenly change his attitude today?
Uncle Guan left with several sturdy servants.
Ê n̂ùm̀ ȧ . i̊d
Zhang Su, meanwhile, returned to the outer disciple residential area with the many things they had brought.
Most outer disciples were crammed together in shared rooms.
Of course, those who had the means could live in private rooms.
By all logic, Zhang Su certainly had the means.
After all, Uncle Guan unfailingly brought five hundred taels of silver up the mountain every month.
However, because Zhang Su's relationship with his elder brother was strained, he stubbornly refused to spend any of the money his brother sent him.

As a result, he lived crammed together with several other outer disciples.
At the moment, Zhang Su was alone in the room.
The other three outer disciples had all gone out.
Zhang Su set his things down and began sorting through the memories in his mind.
He had simply woken up one day and inexplicably replaced the original Zhang Su.
Many of Zhang Su's memories were still unclear to him.
Е ǹ ǔ m̄ ӓ. і̇d̈
All he knew was that Zhang Su had fallen out with his elder brother, seemingly because his elder brother had married into his wife's family.
As for the exact circumstances, Zhang Su did not know.

As he continued sorting through the memories, recollections concerning his elder brother gradually surfaced in his mind.
It turned out that the Zhang Family had once been a scholarly household for generations.
Zhang Su's father had served as an official in the capital.
Because he had offended the Marquis of Wuqing, the marquis had framed him and caused his death.

Their mother then took the three Zhang siblings back to their hometown, Clear Spring Prefecture.
Not long afterward, she also died of illness.
Their elder brother had supported the Zhang Family all by himself, but when a wall falls, everyone gives it a push. Not only did the Zhang Family's relatives refuse to help them, they even tried to seize the family's remaining property and made life difficult for them at every turn.
Later, Zhang Su's elder brother, Zhang Chen, married into the Su Family and wed their only daughter, Su Zhenzhen.

Zhang Su and his elder brother had a fierce argument over this.
He believed that his elder brother marrying into a merchant family had brought shame upon the entire Zhang Family.
Е n̊û m̄ a
From then on, he severed ties with his elder brother and went alone to the Origin Returning Sect, where he became an outer disciple.
He had not even attended his elder brother's wedding.
In fact, his predecessor had possessed quite a bit of so-called "backbone."
For an entire year, he had not spent a single copper of the money his elder brother sent through Uncle Guan.
It had all remained untouched on his identity plaque.
According to the Origin Returning Sect's rules, silver could be exchanged for contribution points at a one-to-one ratio.

Therefore, his identity plaque currently held at least six thousand contribution points.
After sorting through all these memories, Zhang Su remained silent for a long time.
Backbone?
In his eyes, it was nothing more than the stubborn pride of a young man.
Why had his elder brother married into the Su Family?
In truth, it had been for the sake of the entire Zhang Family.
Ё ń um̈ а̇
The Su Family was known as the "Half-City Su Family." Though they were merchants, they possessed seemingly inexhaustible wealth.
Zhang Su's actions might have looked principled on the surface.

But in reality, even his status as an outer disciple of the Origin Returning Sect had been bought by the Su Family at tremendous cost, after spending who knew how much silver.
Otherwise, when he came to the Origin Returning Sect a year ago, he had already been a full fifteen years old.
The minimum age requirement for the Origin Returning Sect to recruit outer disciples was fourteen.
He had already exceeded the age limit.
Eňú m̆а̂
But the Su Family had enough money to make even ghosts turn millstones.
They forcibly bought him an outer disciple slot, allowing him to become an outer disciple of the Origin Returning Sect.
"The stubborn pride of youth, and... sheer pedantry!"
"It's already been an entire year. You've been at the Origin Returning Sect all this time, yet you haven't even cultivated your qi and blood. All you have left is your so-called backbone..."

Zhang Su shook his head.
He immediately tried circulating his cultivation method.
W е̊b̀nо v̆е̃ l̃ Е nǔ m а
The result... absolutely nothing happened.
"Wait. It's been an entire year, and he hasn't even mastered the most basic Qi and Blood Realm martial art?"
Zhang Su was dumbfounded.
Even with terrible talent, surely it couldn't be this bad?
Or was there some hidden reason?
Zhang Su carefully searched through his memories.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And he actually found the reason.
When he first became an outer disciple, he had been allowed to choose one cultivation method and one martial technique for free.
But his predecessor had been absurdly ambitious and chosen an incredibly difficult and obscure martial art among those of the Qi and Blood Realm.
It was called the Great River Divine Art.
Once successfully cultivated, one's qi and blood would surge like a roaring river, several times more abundant than that of ordinary people, laying an unparalleled foundation.
But it had one flaw. It was difficult!
Ẅе̃ b̂n̂оv ѐl̂ Е̄.n ú_m̌ӑ_
Far too difficult!
Countless disciples had attempted to cultivate this martial art, only to fail miserably and eventually switch to another one.

His predecessor had been no exception.
Worse still, his predecessor had been hopelessly stubborn. Even after failing to cultivate the Great River Divine Art, he refused to give up and stubbornly persisted for an entire year without switching cultivation methods.
"Not only pedantic, but stupid too..."
Zhang Su had already made up his mind.
Е̌n̊ u m̃ а . i_d̈
He had to switch cultivation methods.
Otherwise, if he couldn't even cultivate his qi and blood, what martial arts was there to practice?
Without qi and blood, he could not even be considered a martial artist.
Because of this, Zhang Su had actually become a laughingstock among the Origin Returning Sect's outer disciples.

"Great River Divine Art..."
Although Zhang Su had decided to switch cultivation methods, he was still curious.
E n û m̀ а.і̌d
Just how difficult was this martial art?
The mnemonic formula of the Great River Divine Art surfaced in his mind.
Zhang Su carefully read through it.
The result... confusion.
He was utterly bewildered.
This martial art truly was obscure and difficult to understand. Even comprehending it was hard, let alone cultivating it.

"Great River Divine Art, compatibility 11%..."
Suddenly, Zhang Su saw a flash of golden light before his eyes.
Immediately afterward, a panel appeared before him.
Host: Zhang Su
Great River Divine Art: Compatibility 11% (Not Initiated)
Spirit Snake Fist: Compatibility 81% (Minor Mastery)
Ên̂ umа̃
Compatibility Points: 0
Note: One Compatibility Point can increase the compatibility of any cultivation method by 10%.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Note: Perfecting any cultivation method grants one Compatibility Point.
Note: Any cultivation method with 100% compatibility is guaranteed to reach perfection.
Zhang Su's heart stirred.
Could this be his cheat ability?
Е̂n u ḿ а. і́d
Zhang Su examined it carefully.
The higher his compatibility with a cultivation method, the faster he would cultivate it.
One Compatibility Point could increase the compatibility of any cultivation method by 10%.
At first glance, that did not seem like much.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But in reality, Compatibility Points were immensely useful.
They could forcibly raise cultivation methods that had not naturally reached 100% compatibility all the way to 100%. Once a cultivation method reached 100% compatibility, it was guaranteed to be perfected!
W̄ е b̆n̊ о̆ v̆e l Е ń u m̆а
If used properly, this would be enormously beneficial to a martial artist!
Its value was immeasurable!
"The Great River Divine Art only has 11% compatibility. With compatibility this low, I wouldn't be able to initiate it even after cultivating for ten years..."
Zhang Su shook his head.
Comparing the Great River Divine Art with the Spirit Snake Fist made the difference obvious.
With 81% compatibility, the Spirit Snake Fist had reached Minor Mastery in just one year.

That was quite good.
Meanwhile, initiating the Great River Divine Art remained nowhere in sight.
This was the difference between high and low compatibility.
His resolve to replace the Great River Divine Art became even firmer.
Moreover, he had to make proper use of his advantage.
When choosing martial arts in the future, he absolutely had to select those with very high compatibility.
Ӗnû m̈ а̃ . i d
With that thought, Zhang Su wasted no more time. He immediately rose to his feet and headed straight for the Technique Transmission Pavilion.
