The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 389 - 171: The Secret of the Martial Arts Grandmaster (Please Subscribe)_4

He had just walked through the Ghost Gate and had come to view life and death with detachment.

Xu Qing: "Big brother, no need to say more, your younger brother understands better than you. It’s just big brother’s luck this time; had I not recently gained some fortuitous opportunities, you would have been gravely injured."

He wasn’t merely boasting.

The Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill and Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique, along with his comprehension of the Innate Finger, all formed the basis of Xu Qing’s confidence in healing King Lin.

Besides, he also possessed the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand.

This skill, when used in pulse diagnosis, is unparalleled in the world.

So long as one possesses the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand, it surpasses the pulse-reading methods of any renowned physician.

It is even more precise than some advanced equipment from his previous life.

Following a thorough examination, the circulation of Qi-Blood and the hidden secrets of Martial Arts within King Lin were all laid bare before him.

He had even substantially touched upon the mysteries of Martial Arts that only those in the Grandmaster Realm possess.

Had King Lin not reached this state, to be frank, he would be dead by now.

From this, one could see how fierce the battle between King Lin and the Luo Sect Master had been.

"The Divine Soul Realm of possession is not to be underestimated; the Asura Evil Skill is indeed extraordinary, actually suppressing big brother’s Qi-Blood," Xu Qing reflected on the current strength of the Luo Sect Master.

What’s fearsome is that the opponent’s Asura Evil Skill has not yet reached its highest realm.

Once it achieves Great Success, perhaps he could even contend with Elder Fang.

At least he wouldn’t be weaker than the Chaotian Temple Master, Xu Qing thought.

In Martial Arts and Daoist Skills, at a high level, it’s really about personal performance and taking advantage of time and place, as well as the relationships of restraint, not just strength alone.

But strength indeed occupies a significant part of the equation.

Once his capital is substantial, supporting thousands of warriors who have achieved Bone Training Great Success, utilizing Meng Yuxuan’s method of training troops to form battle arrays, these old fellows will know what true strength is.

Then, Xu Qing began to treat King Lin’s injuries.

The most difficult part was treating King Lin’s spine.

A tiny fracture was involved, but it was crucial to a person’s life.

If there were cracks in the spine, how could one speak of a robust life?

As Xu Qing used the Innate Qi to solidify and nurture King Lin’s foundation, he also shared the secrets of the Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique with him.

Although he wasn’t substantially revealing the secrets of cultivating this technique, he did disclose the essence of marrow cleansing.

With King Lin’s current realm, he naturally could comprehend a marrow cleansing skill suited to himself from this.

He knew well that the benevolence shown this time could only be repaid with his life.

On the surface, however, King Lin did not show any signs of his feelings.

A true gentleman repays kindness in monumental ways, not just with words.

While listening to Xu Qing’s explanation of the marvelous principle, King Lin connected concepts and, through his realm, perceived the essence of marrow cleansing, reciprocating by sharing insights with Xu Qing.

For Xu Qing, wasn’t this like finding an exceptional Martial Arts tutor?

As the two discussed, Xu Qing gradually integrated what he learned about Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, reaching the higher techniques of this skill.

Thus, he now possessed the methods of marrow cleansing from both the higher techniques of Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound and the Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique.

The key to Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique lies in refining the marrow, while the key to marrow cleansing in the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound lies in solidifying and purifying.

They serve different purposes.

This is also where the Great Zen Temple’s technique excels, having truly unique insights in Life Cultivation.

After addressing the spinal injury, Xu Qing used the Innate Finger’s Jade Liquid to further heal King Lin. This action depletes the Essence Qi, so he sparingly used the Innate Finger multiple times within a short duration.

It can be said that within half a month, Xu Qing could not hope to return to his peak condition.

But it was just the physical body after all.

Xu Qing was not only formidable in Martial Arts.

Ever since he mastered the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations and crafted the Purple Emperor Dragon Armor, his Divine Soul has been dragon-like, often soaring to the peak of Zhong Mountain to gather the Sunrise Purple Qi. Nowadays, even he himself is unclear how powerful his Dao Skill has become.

If his Dao Skill alone couldn’t resolve this predicament, let alone adding Martial Arts, there wasn’t much confidence.

Moreover, if he could heal King Lin before the enemy causes chaos, the increased combat power would be enough to compensate for his lowered physical state.

Therefore, it became more urgent to heal King Lin against time.

...

...

At Qixia Mountain, atop the peak transmitted to Xu Qing by Xuantian Taoist, named Heavenly Extinction Peak, at moonrise, Luo Sect Master gazed far away. Down below, numerous tributaries merging into the Jiangning River, his gaze followed the waves.

Shortly after, amidst the mountain’s mist, a white figure emerged and approached him.

"Did that Lin descendant actually manage to injure you?" The white shadow expressed surprise, its voice like a spirit in a secluded valley, even conveying a unique fragrance through sound, presenting a peculiar enchantment in consciousness.

Luo Sect Master: "Before the world plunges into chaos, among the grassroots, dragons and snakes lay dormant. This Lin descendant is like a python, on the verge of making an impact."

Once stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, both for martial artists and Daoist experts, there exists a dimension reduction strike advantage, which is the locking of Qi. Over a dozen kilometers, once targeted by an opponent’s Qi lock, escape is futile.

Of course, if the Divine Soul is in the Possession Realm, or at the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, naturally it wouldn’t get locked. But in this vast world, the individuals reaching such realms are few.

Normal events wouldn’t disturb this level.

"If it wasn’t for you cultivating the Asura Evil Skill which damaged part of your strength, you wouldn’t have been hurt."

"It’s all worth it, otherwise I would have had difficulty advancing further."

Cultivation is like drawing a bow, needing to accumulate force.

Temporary loss of strength is for stepping into a more formidable realm.

"Anyway, this time it’s not about killing them. Moreover, I have tested it; the Xu youngster’s Divine Skills are formidable, more so than his ancestors at this age. But healing King Lin will consume him heavily, not a threat anymore." The fragrant voice, barely believing Xu Qing could at least heal King Lin quickly, reminisced about the past and continued, "Unexpectedly, the Gu Family has forgotten their origins, but unexpectedly the residence has fallen back into the hands of the Xu boy."

Luo Sect Master nodded.

The Gu Family ancestor also belonged to the Wenxiang Sect, and was a sworn brother of the ancestor of the Xu Family who was a Sect Hierarch of Wenxiang Sect, acting as their strategist.

Due to the Gu Family being scholars and gentry of Jiangning Prefecture, that Gu Family ancestor used an alias within the Wenxiang Sect to conceal his identity.

After the fall of the Wenxiang Sect, the Gu Family ancestor returned to Jiangning Prefecture and continued to flourish.

Though he kept the Wenxiang Sect heritage, it is assumed he never disclosed it to his descendants.

Nevertheless, some traces of the Wenxiang Sect remained.

Such as the Breathing Skill of the Crane Form Skill.

However, only the line of Elder Gu, the original owner of Xu Qing’s residence, practiced the Crane Form Skill Breathing Technique, and after this line had no descendants, the Gu Family wouldn’t know its origins.

Even if known, there wouldn’t be any involvement.

After all, the main branch of the Gu Family has already taken root in Yingtian Prefecture, with Jiangning Prefecture having only minor branches, not making any significant impact.

As for the Parasol Tree in the courtyard, it also has significant origins.

Originally belonging to the Xu Family ancestors, after the fall of the Wenxiang Sect, it was taken by the Gu Family ancestor, and after many turns, the courtyard and the tree eventually returned to the descendants of the Xu Family.

The voice carrying the fragrance continued: "Regardless, for now, these old matters cannot be managed. Wait until mid-July, I will set up a great formation, open the Ghost Gate, refine the ghost soldiers, then I can revive the prestige of the Wenxiang Sect and cause chaos in Jiangning Prefecture to shake South Zhili. If that youngster cannot hold back, and asks Fang to Jiangning Prefecture, we can make our move in Yingtian."

It was eloquent and discussing the situation, as if returning to the past when strategizing for the Wenxiang Sect.
