Ding Fan did not immediately disclose the matter of obtaining the village chief's inheritance from the Sword Washing Pool. After some contemplation, Ding Fan decided to keep it a secret for now. It wasn't that he didn't trust Long Ren, but the village chief's inheritance was not an ordinary existence. That seemingly low-level "Basic Martial Arts" contained a vast array of martial arts.
Moreover, any single one of these martial arts was exceptionally powerful, clearly something that an average cultivator couldn't handle. Additionally, during his over twenty days in the Sword Washing Pool, Ding Fan hadn't managed to completely train in all the martial arts in that "Basic Martial Arts" book.
The "Basic Martial Arts," after all, comprised the lifetime study of the village chief, who was possibly an existence that could live for a thousand years. Such a lifetime of martial arts is not something Ding Fan could master in a day or two.
