My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 359: Chapter 176: Root and Leaf

Furthermore, the process required supplemental Elixir Powders to succeed!

For example, Mirror Flower Water Moon required the Wind-Chasing Spiritual Liquid, refined from Instant Shadow Grass, to be applied daily to the main acupoints of the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot and the Three Yang Meridians of the Foot. This was to activate the meridians and acclimate them to the high-speed rush of True Essence...

Not only that, but it also involved the use of Divine Sense in the process...

And so on!

It was all too complex!

The Ox Demon Mountain-Opening Fist, the Gale Saber Technique... even the Mortal Martial Canon!

...Compared to this one Body Technique, they were all child’s play!

For a time, Qin Fang was completely mesmerized.

After finally going through it three times, Qin Fang, relying on his powerful Divine Sense and eidetic memory, committed it all firmly to mind.

He let out a long breath, a glint in his eyes.

If the Body Technique was this powerful... he placed even greater importance on the other two Leaf Skills!

He continued to read...

Two hours later, he had selected the remaining two Leaf Skills...

Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor and Celestial River Reversal!

The first was a Body Protection Technique, a Cultivation Technique for refining the physical body with True Essence! The general idea was to construct the Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor between the skin and flesh... It not only required the coordination of Divine Sense but also needed to be supplemented with Elixir Powders and even special materials to be achieved... However, what he had obtained now was only the cultivation method for the First Layer. The subsequent layers would have to be exchanged for contribution points.

The second was an Attack Leaf Skill. It involved the specific application of True Essence, drawing inspiration from the concept of overlapping waves, for attacks not restricted to any particular weapon... Similarly, it also involved the coordination of Divine Sense and the aid of Elixir Powders and special Heavenly and Earthly Treasures...

All of them were incredibly voluminous and complex, no less so than a Root Skill!

After absorbing the contents of these three scrolls, Qin Fang was completely in awe...

...The Divine Domain was far more intricate and spectacular than he had ever imagined!

’This won’t do. My knowledge of the Divine Domain is far, far too limited... I’ll have to ask Senior Sister Wen later if there’s a place where I can cram on this subject...’

Qin Fang thought with a sigh.

...But then again, he realized, the introductions to these Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion were a pretty good source of information in themselves.

It was just that the information was rather scattered and not systematic.

Even if Qin Fang read them all, it would be difficult to gain a comprehensive and clear understanding of the Extraordinary Domain.

Letting out a soft breath, Qin Fang tossed the shattered Jade Scroll in his hand into a trash receptacle and turned to go downstairs.

”Oh? You were reading for that long? It seems you’ve gained quite a bit, haven’t you?”

Zhou Xuanmo saw Qin Fang coming downstairs. Noticing his slightly excited expression, he knew the young man had benefited greatly and spoke with a smile.

Qin Fang came back to his senses and said with a sigh, ”Only after reading them do I realize my previous ignorance... The Extraordinary Domain is far more vast and spectacular than I could have imagined.”

”It seems this is the first time you’ve learned about the true distinction between Root and Leaf?” Zhou Xuanmo asked with a smile.

Qin Fang sighed and nodded.

After a moment’s thought, Zhou Xuanmo smiled and said, ”If you feel you don’t know much about the Extraordinary Domain, you should try visiting the Tempering Martial Hall more often. Every day, Inner Sect disciples or Elders from various branches of the Sect give lectures there. While they don’t teach Root and Leaf Skills, they do cover a lot of common knowledge about the Extraordinary Domain, allowing disciples to learn by analogy.”

Qin Fang’s eyes lit up at his words... He had just been planning to go back and ask his Senior Sister, but Master Zhou had unexpectedly told him first.

”Thank you for the guidance, Master Zhou. I will remember it.”

”Mm, alright. It’s getting late. You should go.”

Zhou Xuanmo smiled. ”I look forward to your future performance.”

”Yes. I will take my leave.”

Qin Fang clasped his hands in a salute, then left the Scripture Pavilion.

When he came out, he discovered that the sky had already turned dark... Unwittingly, he had spent the entire day in the Scripture Pavilion.

He sighed to himself... After entering the Extraordinary Domain, time seemed to pass faster and faster.

The sky was full of starlight, yet Baichuan Plaza ahead was still as bright as day... The Array on the ground emitted waves of soft, white light, looking magnificent and ethereal in the night.

The scenery left Qin Fang mesmerized for a moment, after which he shook his head with a wry smile... The many wonders of this Extraordinary World were breathtaking, even for a transmigrator like him.

He stepped onto Baichuan Plaza, the night wind blowing against him. He let out a soft breath, admiring the beautiful scenery as he walked toward Guiyuan Valley.

’Right, the Body Technique... Let’s first try out this Mirror Flower Water Moon and see how far I can get with my current True Essence.’

Qin Fang’s eyes shone brightly.

Body Techniques were the purest application of True Essence. Although cultivating one to an advanced Realm required various Pill and Powder Spirit Essences, it wasn’t necessary during the initial practice stage...

At this thought, the various methods of circulating True Essence mentioned in Mirror Flower Water Moon clearly surfaced in his mind. He took a deep breath and began to simulate them, somewhat awkwardly at first.

His True Essence flowed along the route described in Mirror Flower Water Moon. The warm current surged, passing first through the Baihui point, and just as expected, Qin Fang’s Spirit was instantly invigorated. Then, it gradually moved from top to bottom, circulating to the acupoints in the lower half of his body...

When his True Essence, still a bit clumsily, completed a minor Circulation...

Something magical happened!

A faint white light began to emanate from Qin Fang’s body, and at the same time... he felt his body become lighter, as if weightless...

This feeling...

’It seems... I can fly?!’

His eyes suddenly lit up.

But he instantly used Contemplation on the Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl to stabilize his excited mind, allowing the True Essence Circulation to continue running.

As it circulated, Qin Fang could tangibly feel his body getting lighter and lighter.

When the circulation speed of his True Essence had almost reached its limit, he was shocked to see that the tips of his toes had already left the ground...

...He was floating!

Qin Fang’s pupils trembled. He was utterly shocked!

*(This Chapter is very important, as it concerns the theory of Root and Leaf, which is the power system of this book, so I wrote it a bit slower. But don’t worry, I promised four Chapters, and there will be four Chapters. Huoguo will continue writing! I’ll leave the rest to you all, haha.)*
