Floating in the air through the support from the air blades, Zhang Wu Ji effortlessly delivered a torrent of air blades to make sure the youth got his lesson. This weakened air blades maintained the momentum, although the damage it dealt was reduced to a tenth of its original damage. But being taught with a lesson through this way, it shows the public that the might Seven Star Sect was unmatched, at least in the eyes of the public.
His action is similar to "You can look for trouble, but unless you possess the strength to support it, do not overstep your boundaries" to the people spectating what was happening here. While he was still giving the youth a lesson, Zhang Wu Ji pointed at the Slave Disciples and moved his finger towards the Study Hall, and mentioned the word;
"Confiscate all books from the Study Hall. I will personally handle this youth's penalty in the future."
As he finishes his words, Zhang Wu Ji Stops. The youth is void of any heavy injuries, but the pain caused by the lesson did not fail to creates a trauma inside his mind, which would teach him how to behave in the future. Feeling that wasn't enough, Zhang Wu Ji added a condition before he waits for the book's collection to be completed.
"If you want your books to return, come up to the Seven Star Sect's Ninth Courtyard to collects them. The more you come forth and leave, the faster you will be able to collect all the book I confiscate from you. Not only that, for every book you took back, I will have the people from Apprentice Hall to deliver ten Masonry Bricks to you to rebuild your Study Hall."
"You can treat this as a lesson, but let me tell you one thing... A character is molded from young, and not from wealth. If you failed to understand this, you're not qualified to open a Study Hall." Zhang Wu Ji completed every sentence he wanted to say, and the moment the books have been confiscated by his people, Zhang Wu Ji left along with his people. Even the City Lord did not make his appearance here, allowing the Master Senior Ninth to do anything he wishes.
"You! Unfilial Son! How can the Tao Family groom such a trash using our precious resources!" the owner of the Study Hall slapped his son's face for the first time out of anger and left the place which only the remains of his Study Hall is left. Today's even indicates the destruction of the Southern Side's Study Hall, which will last for long until the Tao Family's Young Master finish collecting the books from the Ninth Courtyard.
Meanwhile, on his way returning to the sect, Zhang Wu Ji did not ride the Iron Scale Bull anymore but leave it to carry a large number of books on their way back. Zhang Wu Ji and the others ride the carriage they prepared, and as they go on their way, Zhang Wu Ji did not waste any of his time but started to run through the books and separates them into few different stacks.
Each stack is held by an attendant, while some unused one was thrown aside because of their irrelevant content related to this world's information. Those books usually carried no status nor effect, and only works as something that can be sold like the jade. Worst of all, he found three books that contribute to enter the Inner Demon state, which is completely trash among the books.
"No wonder the cultivator's strength in the Wen Wu City remained at this level. It was due to these collections of trash like books and records! How dare these people to use books as the tool to bring people into an Inner Demon State!" Zhang Wu Ji is so angry he ignites a Firestone and burns the books. Among that 20,000 books, about five hundred of the book were worthless records, and about 300 of them were a waste of time to cultivates them. Without feeling guilty, Zhang Wu Ji destroys those records to soothes his mind.
The five attendants before him maintain their silence as they traveled, and only the sound from the horses and the cries from the Iron Scale Bull is heard. When they reach the vicinity of the Seven Star Sect, Zhang Wu Ji gave them five Qi Sensing Pills per person for their help in moving these books in a short notice. With his room is now 19,300 books richer, Zhang Wu Ji spent his time to rewrites each of them, in order to obtain further knowledge about this world and also it's cultivation arts.
But their quality is completely turning Zhang Wu Ji speechless, as he looks at the results after rewrite and upgrades.

-Usage 1: Increase the voice of the user by 10%
-Usage 2: Allow the user to stun its enemy for 1 Second by paying (5) Inner Qi.

But no matter what, a rewrite is a rewrite as Zhang Wu Ji collected those useless books and compiles them into a more effective cultivation method. The 19,300 books soon been tidied and were left with a mere 12,500 books, but this little works took him three days to complete. When he was ready for another day of effort, a knock came from the door as Tang Yuan requested for his presence.
It seems that three days after, the two Slave Disciple that once stand out and express their aim to loiter around his place has returned to report and shows what they cultivated in this three days. Of course, as a person that keeping up with his promises, Zhang Wu Ji went to meet the two of them, along with two Physical Cultivation Manual that he recently compiled. Although their effect wasn't as high as his expectation, their quality was the highest among the Untiered Cultivating Manuals.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
With two copies of this new manual, Zhang Wu Ji took his seat right before the two Slave Disciples and awaits their performance. The first one introduced himself as Lin Antai. Instead of spending the two Qi Sensing Pill, he used them as the catalyst to allow him to increase the depth of his cultivation, and as a person that came from the Lin Village not too far from the Bai Village, he is well trained in the art of Canine Subduing.
The way he executes the fighting style is quite rough, but it does contain a hint of effort placed in his practice because no matter how rough it looks, the deadliness of his each strikes still able to subdue most of the unskilled opponents. If it was used to fight against canine wild beast, perhaps the strength is much stronger than on a human.
"Good! What a good seven steps of Canine Subduing. No wonder the Lin Village is well known for their excellent products such as Wolfskin and Animal Pelts!" Zhang Wu Ji praised the disciple for his excellent performance, but at the same time, he took the Lin Village into the sentence to not gave the disciple too much of a confidence at himself. With a small gesture, he delivered a copy of the manual to the disciple's hand for him to start his cultivation.
"Master Senior Ninth, this junior's name is Bai Qing, I am similar to brother Hei Tie, also from the same village. Unfortunately, I am not that skillful in martial arts, thus I did not pay any attention to trying to cultivate myself with it. I spent the two Qi Sensing Pills to purchase some materials to do something I am good with." the disciple named Bai Qing too two pieces of Sentient Iron for his inspection.
Zhang Wu Ji was a master blacksmith in the eyes of many disciples in the sect, due to the ability in crafting eight swords that were used by the First to Eighth Master Senior. Next, he took the three elders from the Blacksmithing Department as his direct disciple in blacksmithing, before he crafted the Longfeng Jade Ruler in his hand. This is why the disciple named Bai Qing risks his effort by refining two ingots of Sentient Iron in order to obtain Zhang Wu Ji's approval.
And, his won his bet. The moment Zhang Wu Ji noticed the two ingots, he inspects them through his [UPGRADE] system, and noticed that the purity of the total metal in this two ingots is a good 89% Sentient Iron / 10% Pure Iron / 1% Crystal Iron quality. This expresses his effort further in refining this two piece of ingots, because, without a similar ability like his own, it's extremely difficult to refine an ingot with this quality.
"Good, this two Ingots reaches a very high purity, but still, you need to put more effort to make them into a proper piece of Sentient Iron." Zhang Wu Ji was impressed by both of them as they did not fail to obtain his approval. As long they're able to show that they did give an effort to try, they will obtain his approval. Without delaying, Zhang Wu Ji hands him the remaining copy of the manual and sent them off.
"Master Senior Ninth, the young master from Tao Family is here." Tang Yuan came to him with the second matter. Following him from behind is a young tiger just lost it fangs when it got beaten three days ago. Although his attitude is nothing full of agreements, he at least made his effort to come over to the courtyard for the sake of his father. This sight made him understand one thing.
"At least this debauchee knows that his father does depend on this stack of books to survive."
"Master Senior Ninth, this junior Tao Luo Yun pay his respect and also asking for his forgiveness." the young master from Tao's Family kneeled before Zhang Wu Ji. Seeing his attitude is fitting, Zhang Wu Ji took a book out from his chest's inner pocket, and hand the book over to him.
"This book is a rewrite version of my own. Inside, it combines the three major topics of a Cultivation Path related to [Dao of Cultivation], [Mind of Cultivation], and [Cultivator's Inner Morale]. Bring this book home and read them. Unless you finish this book, do not come back to bother me." Zhang Wu Ji sent him off before he returns to his own room. Among the six to seven thousand of books he compiled and disposed of, this book is one of the ten proper books that were beneficial to the people of Wen Wu City and also to those cultivated in the sect.
He expected the youth will need at least three to six day to cultivates, which is enough for him to put on all his effort to rewrites and repairs all the mistakes before he allows the young master of Tao to collect them back. His motive in this act is simple. Instead of teaching him with a lesson and gives him a trauma that won't be gone in his future path, why don't give him another chance?
But he did not pay too much attention to this matter, because for now, the number of his responsibilities to handle is too overwhelming. Except for skipping some breakfast to refine the manuals, Zhang Wu Ji did not put any of his time to cultivates other things. He completely forgot that by the early of next month, the first harvest of the medicinal herbs brought by the merchant will reach their maturity.
What's more, Zhang Wu Ji did not pay a visit to the Blacksmith Department yet to inspect the results from the rework on all the disciple's Seven Leaves Sword, and not only that, it seems that the Iron Thrusting Dirk is incorporated into the production as a second weapon for all the disciples to carry. It did not receive a good response at first, but after a few deadly situations between the inner disciples during their exploration into the Southern Bamboo Forest, the Dirk slowly become acceptable in the mind of the disciples.
One more issue he forgot, is that this master senior is a 2nd Stage Inner Qi Fighter now. Instead of busy handling so many responsibilities, he should be having fun in exploring the forest. Perhaps until somebody mentioned about going to the forest for an exploration, he will continue doing his own thing.
Day passes quite quickly until it was already six days later. At this time, the close to twenty thousand books is finally completely refined by his effort, with only a thousand of them left. But that thousand books that he edited all by himself perhaps worth more than the sect itself, because each of them was not only a compiled version, they carry their own little side effect that will help one in their own cultivation and professions, which is very important for the improvement of a county.
And in the six days, the Young Master from Tao Family is unexpectedly made his appearance in the courtyard daily, he even spent all his time in studying those profound books that were compiled and refined by Zhang Wu Ji. These short six days were the most wonderful not only to this youth but also for his parents. The Tao Luo Yun that was a trash once before, changed into a new leaf, as somebody that not only cultivates in his own mean, he even become a role model that guides the youth generation in the Southern Side of Wen Wu City.
These sudden changes were soon turned into a respect on the Master Senior Ninth's teaching. The Southern Side that was once proud with their own ability to develops due to the lack of threat from the Southern Bamboo Forest, started to accept the improvement and advanced tools and materials to further upgrading their Southern Wen Wu City.
Up to date, Zhang Wu Ji's action has personally affected the Northern Side and the Southern Side, with the exception of the eastern and western side. The western side is more packed with rough buildings, and the east was under some influence by the Seven Star Sect. Due to the majority of miners resides in the western side of the Wen Wu City, it was very underdeveloped.
Although there were only three more days before the end of the month, Zhang Wu Ji did not bother to wait and distributes three manuals to each of them for cultivation purposes. As the five attendants know how much effort the Master Senior placed on their improvement, they accepted the three manuals with a heavy heart.

After handling them with the three manuals, Zhang Wu Ji returned to his room, as he found out that among that thousand books he created, Zhang Wu Ji accidentally steps upon a miraculous manual that may become the changing point in his cultivation.
Perhaps not too many people know about the fact, but the fact of Zhang Wu Ji's Trash Martial Body is a well-known fact in Li Jiang City. It was precisely due to this matter he was despised by his two elder brothers due to the lack of a heaven-defying Martial Body like them. Between his two elder brothers, the first possessed the Violet Emperor Martial Body that made his Qi appears in a violet hue. The Violet Emperor Martial Body allows his eldest brother to not only have thrice the speed of cultivation but also thrice the strength and understanding of anything related to cultivation.
As for his second brother, he possesses the Heaven Qi Martial Body, a body that requires twice the effort to cultivates and advance, but in return of the effort, he will face no difficulties in advancement and also lack of Qi inside the body. The Heaven Qi Martial Body not only can replenish the Qi by itself, but it can also even heal others from grave injuries.
It was only due to the youngest of Zhang's Family is a Trash Martial Body, or else, won't the female all over the continent coveted Zhang Qing Feng to conceive their child because each kid he made, comes with a heaven-defying Martial Body!
"I wonder what will happen if I started to practice with this manual!"
