My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 425: Chapter 198: Orderly

Why did Qin Fang cause such a stir last year that even the Jinghong Hall Master wanted to personally take him as a disciple?

...Wasn’t it because cultivating Leaf Skills is incredibly difficult, yet Qin Fang mastered the basics of a Body Technique Leaf Skill overnight, displaying an astonishing aptitude and talent?

Furthermore, the complexity of Pupil Leaf Skills surpassed even that of Body Technique Leaf Skills.

...The meridians and nerves near the eyes are far more fragile than those in other parts of the body.

Cultivating a Pupil Leaf Skill required one’s control over True Essence to be perfect, down to the most minute detail.

Otherwise, the slightest misstep... and one’s eyeballs could explode!

It was incredibly dangerous.

And merely controlling True Essence wasn’t enough; the process also had to be coordinated with one’s Divine Sense...

That was even more difficult.

Among the tens of thousands of Inner Sect and True Inheritance disciples in the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, those who successfully cultivated a Pupil Leaf Skill were exceedingly rare.

Even many of the Elders couldn’t master them...

Listening to Wen Suxin, Qin Fang’s mind began to churn with ideas.

But in the end, he let out a soft breath and suppressed the impulse.

’...I’m only in the Primordial Stream Realm and haven’t even mastered the Second Level of the Profound Nether Returning True Water Scripture. My strength is still too weak.’

’The Blood Luo Sect dares to stir up trouble throughout all of Great Yu; their strength must be far beyond my imagination.’

’I’ll take it one step at a time,’

he thought to himself.

After chatting for a while longer and seeing there was nothing else to discuss, Qin Fang called for Xile and left Guiyuan Valley under the envious gazes of the disciples.

The next day, Qin Fang returned to Guiyuan Valley. He brought some honey and Bee Meat for his Senior Sister and Master Fan, and also took some out for the other Inner Sect disciples of Guiyuan Valley to try.

The Inner Sect disciples were overwhelmed by the gesture. The gazes of many female disciples on Qin Fang were filled with adoration...

...He was a First Hall True Inheritance disciple, someone of lofty status. Yet, after obtaining benefits on his trip, he was willing to share with ordinary Inner Sect Disciples like them... This alone was enough to fill them with excitement.

Not to mention... the Bee Meat was astonishingly delicious.

Even the gentle Wen Suxin’s eyes lit up after she took a bite of the Bee Meat.

’...The translucent Bee Meat is sweet and crisp, with a honey fragrance that’s sweet but not overwhelming. The flavor is truly exceptional!’

”This Bee Meat contains a good amount of Qi Blood, and its medicinal properties are gentle. For anyone below the Huajin Realm, it would likely be of considerable benefit.”

Fan Zhengchu nodded as well; even he was rather amazed by the Bee Meat’s flavor.

”I didn’t destroy the hive last time... If you like it, I can go get some more next time,”

Qin Fang said with a smile.

Fan Zhengchu smiled and nodded, stroking his beard. His eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Qin Fang...

But then a thought made him stiffen, and he sighed...

’...Such a talented and grateful disciple. He was so close to becoming my True Inheritance disciple...’

At this thought, the Bee Meat in Fan Zhengchu’s mouth seemed to lose its flavor. He sighed and returned to the main hall.

Unaware of the old master’s thoughts, Qin Fang gave Wen Suxin a puzzled look.

But Wen Suxin, being sharp and perceptive, understood what was on her master’s mind. She covered her mouth with a laugh and said, ”Master has been worried about the Blood Luo Sect lately... Don’t worry about it, Junior Brother.”

Realization dawned on Qin Fang, and a sense of solemn respect filled him...

Unsurprisingly, Xile was quickly surrounded. Many disciples even gave up their own share of Bee Meat to feed it.

Xile, for its part, accepted all offerings.

Qin Fang shook his head, then told his Senior Sister he was going to the Hundred Herbs Courtyard and asked if she could help look after Xile.

His Senior Sister smiled. ”Does it look like he needs me to take care of him? He’s the most popular creature in Guiyuan Valley right now.”

Qin Fang looked at Xile, already one with the crowd of Inner Sect Disciples surrounding it, and shook his head with a helpless smile. He exchanged a few more words with Wen Suxin, then his figure shot into the sky and away.

Soon, he arrived at the Hundred Herbs Courtyard.

The area around the Hundred Herbs Courtyard was filled with Spirit Fields where various cultivable Treasure Plants were grown. In addition to Inner Sect Disciples, there were also many Outer Disciples who had taken on tasks to work here, tending to the Treasure Plants, pulling weeds, and catching pests...

Qin Fang’s arrival through the sky naturally drew the attention of the many Inner and Outer Sect disciples below.

Most of the Outer Disciples didn’t recognize Qin Fang, but when they saw him descending from the sky, their eyes filled with deep envy...

...While not a common sight outside, they often saw people Flying within the Sect.

And Flying was, without a doubt, the clearest sign of the Extraordinary Domain.

Almost all the Outer Disciples were Huajin Martial Artists. They didn’t even possess a Contemplation Method, and their potential was often exhausted. The chances of them pushing open the Divine Gate and stepping into the Extraordinary Realm were infinitesimally small.

Yet, those who chose to remain in the Sect under such conditions were the ones who still harbored a sliver of hope for reaching the Extraordinary Realm.

To see a figure from the Extraordinary Realm with their own eyes naturally filled them with immense envy.

The Inner Sect Disciples, however, almost all recognized Qin Fang. Seeing that it was he who had arrived, they stared in a momentary daze before quickly bowing in respect.

Then, several Elders walked out from the main hall of the Hundred Herbs Courtyard, having also sensed Qin Fang’s arrival.

Seeing Qin Fang, they all broke into warm smiles...

...The Hundred Herbs Courtyard was practically the private domain of the Guiyuan Lineage; the vast majority of Elders here belonged to the Guiyuan Lineage.

”Disciple Qin Fang greets you, Masters.”

Upon seeing these Elders, Qin Fang bowed respectfully.

This humble display was, naturally, very well-received by the Masters.

A kindly-faced old woman smiled. ”Ah, if it isn’t Linyuan... What brings you to the Hundred Herbs Courtyard today?”

”Master Wen.”

Qin Fang smiled warmly at the old woman. ”I recently went on a trip outside the Sect, didn’t I? I realized then that my knowledge of various Spiritual Treasure Plants is sorely lacking. I came to the Hundred Herbs Courtyard hoping to brush up on the subject... I’d rather not travel the world and stumble upon a Treasure Plant without even recognizing it, wasting a perfectly good opportunity.”
