My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 483: Chapter 217: The Six Greats

After laughing for a moment, Fan Zhengchu sighed. ”Some people are narrow-minded, obsessed with being the sole authority. Once they learn a Leaf Skill, they hide it away, afraid a competitor will appear and threaten their position... The Cultivation Realm is full of such examples. That’s why there’s a saying: ’Teach the apprentice everything, and the master starves.’”

”But you are the Hall Master’s True Inheritance of our Guiyuan Lineage. Moreover, your character and integrity have been widely praised over these past five years... If you have the will, once your Cultivation is high enough, you can learn all six supreme inheritances... Ahem, just as long as you remember that in the end, your identity is that of our Guiyuan Lineage.”

Even Qin Fang couldn’t help but feel a tremor in his heart upon hearing this.

’...A Sect like this...’

Fan Zhengchu smiled and said, ”Speaking of which, the Profound Nether Nature you cultivate is a Mutated Nature, and your talent for Leaf Skills is unmatched in the Sect. Perhaps... it might even be possible for you to master the arts of all Six Great Supremes at once?”

His eyes suddenly lit up.

But he was startled a moment later and quickly shook his head. ”Forget about the Celestial Martial Lineage’s techniques... Cultivating Divine Sense is simply too perilous. With your talent, you absolutely must not be ruined for the sake of a single Leaf Skill... Hmm, five supreme inheritances in one person... That would still be unprecedented!”

”If you can really achieve that, then you would undoubtedly be the most talented person in the history of our Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect!”

Fan Zhengchu grew a bit excited as he spoke.

Qin Fang was stunned, letting out a soft breath after a long moment.

”One needs to be in the Fifth Realm to cultivate it... I... will do my best,”

he said.

But his eyes flickered.

’The Spiritual Sense Leaf Skill... can I really not cultivate it?’

”Speaking of which, Senior Brother Yun Guanyu also fought today. In fact, you could say we won this battle entirely thanks to Senior Brother Yun breaking the deadlocks several times... But usually, Senior Brother Yun’s memory isn’t very good. Today, though, he didn’t slip up even once. What’s going on?”

Qin Fang suddenly thought of Yun Guanyu.

If Yun Guanyu hadn’t repeatedly intervened today to block the Divine Sense attacks from the Path of Non-Birth, they might not have been able to defeat them!

’But his performance... wasn’t it a bit too normal?’

Hearing Qin Fang’s words, Fan Zhengchu sighed. ”That’s to be expected... When Yun Guanyu circulates the Nine Tribulations God Refining Chapter, his Spirit does indeed return to normal, including his memories.”

”It’s because the circulation of the Nine Tribulations God Refining Chapter barely manages to suppress the injuries to his Divine Sense... But can he keep circulating it constantly? A Leaf Skill of that level is extremely draining on both True Essence and Divine Sense.”

”So he can only be lucid for a short time. The moment he stops, the injury to his Divine Sense will flare up... causing him to return to that lost state...”

At this point, Master Fan sighed softly. ”It’s a pity. Yun Guanyu was also a prodigious talent back in his day. He might have been slightly inferior to you... but definitely not by much.”

”But unfortunately, he was too arrogant. He chose the Celestial Martial Lineage, which is the most difficult to cultivate but allows one to be invincible within the same realm and even slay enemies in higher realms... Otherwise, he probably would have reached the Sixth Realm long ago, and perhaps even be touching the edge of the Seventh Realm! ...He wouldn’t be like he is now, sometimes forgetting even the people of his own Sect. And who knows... when an even greater hidden danger will erupt. Sigh...”

After another sigh, Fan Zhengchu warned Qin Fang again, ”Linyuan, consider Guanyu a cautionary tale... You absolutely must not act rashly. Understand?”

Qin Fang was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile. ”Yes, Master Fan. I understand.”

Qin Fang could only bow.

’...He could feel Fan Zhengchu’s heartfelt concern.’

Only then did Fan Zhengchu nod in satisfaction.

After they chatted idly for a while longer, a voice suddenly rang in Qin Fang’s ear.

”Linyuan, come to me.”

Qin Fang, who had been chatting and laughing, shot to his feet!

’...It’s Master!’

’Master is back!’

’That means...’

He pressed his lips together, then bowed to the somewhat surprised Fan Zhengchu. ”Master Fan, my Master is summoning me. I must take my leave.”

Fan Zhengchu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed softly. ”I heard about the situation from your Master and Senior Sister... I don’t know how to comfort you. I can only say, it’s all in the hands of fate; we can’t control it. Some things, you just have to learn to accept... Go on.”

Qin Fang fell silent. After bowing, he left the main hall and flew away, tearing through the sky.

Soon, he arrived at the summit of the mountain where his Master cultivated in seclusion.

But the moment he reached the summit, Qin Fang’s body stiffened slightly...

...Her gaze was numb and vacant. Still dressed as a Maid, Qinghe stood quietly behind his Master.

...She looked much more mature than she had five years ago. Her features, still somewhat youthful then, had fully blossomed, becoming bright and captivating.

But those eyes, which once shone as they gazed at him, which once looked at him with joy, were now dim, wooden, and utterly vacant.

Qin Fang froze in mid-air for a long time, not daring to land.

His Master did not rush him.

After a long while, Qin Fang finally descended. His arrival didn’t draw the slightest bit of attention from Qinghe; her gaze remained dazed.

”Master...”

His voice was hoarse as he slowly bowed.

His Master nodded lightly... He had, of course, seen Qin Fang’s entire reaction, but he neither rushed him nor spoke.

”Her Divine Soul is empty. She has indeed been refined into a ’Living Puppet’... In a moment, I will have your Senior Brother Yun act. He will undo the Leaf Skill controlling her, and she will be lucid for a short while... The duration will be about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. She won’t have any memories of the past five years; her memory should be frozen five years ago... You, prepare yourself.”

Qin Fang’s heart trembled at these words.

After closing his eyes for a long time, he let out a soft breath. ”Yes, Master. I understand.”

”Mm, since old friends are reuniting, I won’t stay here.”

After speaking, his Master stood up.

”Are you ready?”

he asked Qin Fang.

Qin Fang stared at Qinghe’s numb, pretty face and nodded lightly.

”I’ll trouble you, Nephew Yun.”

The Master nodded toward a certain direction, and in the next moment, his figure gracefully vanished.

The next moment, a silver glint shot over.

It instantly pierced the spot between Qinghe’s eyebrows.

Qinghe’s expression immediately twisted in pain.

But only for a moment. Her pupils suddenly trembled, and in the next instant, it was as if something in her mind had shattered.

Her numb eyes suddenly became spirited!

...It was as if a puppet had suddenly become a living person!

But a look of terror appeared in her eyes.

She glanced around in a panic, and her eyes immediately fell upon Qin Fang, who was standing in front of her, watching her.

First, she looked stunned, then her eyes suddenly widened.

That gaze, which moments ago had been vacant and full of terror, was now overflowing with radiance!

”Brother Qin!?”

she cried out in delight, and then, with almost no hesitation, threw herself into Qin Fang’s arms...
