Free Web NovelChapter 202: Chapter 201: Cyan Wood Condensing Green Technique
Su Mu was dead. He died without a sound, as if such a person had never even existed in the Medicine King Hall.
The Four Great Elders, however, remained the Four Great Elders, and another Seventh-level Disciple was promoted to become an Eighth-level Disciple of the Medicine King Hall.
Wei Qinghuang was carried away.
The farce on Heavenly Red Peak fizzled out.
Qin Feng, however, had become famous. He had crippled an Inspector and killed a Medicine King Hall Elder all by himself, yet he had emerged completely unscathed.
In this region of the Medicine King Hall, Qin Feng became known as a harbinger of disaster.
The issue of the stolen Spirit Medicines continued to escalate. As long as the Spirit Medicine Thief remained at large, All Stars Academy would not let the matter rest.
He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but Qin Feng felt that Eighth Master had been much more well-behaved these days.
’He’s been showing up an irritating number of times lately!’
The lakeside scenery was picturesque. Weeping willows drifted like smoke, ancient trees shimmered with a crystalline light, and flowers bloomed in profusion. Petals rained down, releasing waves of sweet fragrance.
Mist curled over the Celestial Pool, where stalks of Pure Water Golden Lotus swayed gently.
Seated cross-legged on a newly constructed Dao platform by Celestial Pool Lake, Qin Feng circulated his Innate Primordial Qi. Inside his body, the liquefied Innate Primordial Qi flowed like a gentle stream.
During that battle, Qin Feng had forcefully executed the Innate Primordial Tide Extinction Sixth Sword, severely damaging his meridians.
However, it was a blessing in disguise, as his Tide Sword Intent had taken a small step forward, reaching sixty percent mastery.
Qin Feng sat with his eyes closed, focused on comprehending the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique*. Wisps of Sword Qi pulsed from his body as his aura grew increasingly sharp.
His comprehension of the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique* was growing ever deeper.
’I will break through to the 9th Layer of the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique* today!’
Suddenly, Qin Feng’s body shuddered. A torrent of Sword Qi powerful enough to pierce the heavens erupted from every pore.
Qin Feng raised one hand and opened his palm. Wisps of Invisible Sword Qi emerged from his fingertips, slowly coalescing into a nine-foot longsword forged from pure Innate Invisible Sword Qi.
The 9th Layer of the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique*!
Qin Feng opened his eyes, a trace of satisfaction showing in them.
At this time, there were only twenty days left until the March assessment.
A sound of flapping wings drew near. Eighth Master, struggling with his fleshy wings, landed on a willow branch.
Eighth Master tilted his head, sizing up Qin Feng for a long moment before suddenly calling out, "CAW CAW! Brother Feng, it looks like you’ve gotten a little bit stronger again!"
A faint blue glint of sword light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes and vanished. Eighth Master’s senses were incredibly sharp. Now that he had mastered the 9th Layer of the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique*, Qin Feng’s control over his Sword Qi had become even more deft.
He had even reached a state of microscopic control.
This state was exceptionally profound. Qin Feng was now confident he could use a strand of Sword Qi as thin as a hair to annihilate a larva burrowing inside a tree’s core without harming the tree in the slightest.
It was a truly wondrous ability.
If he could cultivate the *Geng Metal Breaking Killing Sword Technique* to the 12th Layer, this ability would be enhanced even further.
Qin Feng glanced up at Xiaoba. He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that Xiaoba had gotten even fatter.
Suddenly, Qin Feng turned his head to look.
Several hundred paces away, Luan Xiaochuan and Zhao Yuan were rushing over excitedly. In a few moments, they arrived before him.
"Cave Master, we’ve completed the task you assigned us!"
Licking his slightly dry lips, Luan Xiaochuan said with a look of delight, "Cave Master, I had my men take a full inventory. Our Heavenly Red Peak has a total of eight varieties of Yellow Essence. The oldest is a four-hundred-year-old piece of Chicken Head Yellow Ginseng!"
"Excellent!" Qin Feng nodded. This four-hundred-year-old Chicken Head Yellow Ginseng would be of great use to him.
Qin Feng had been thinking about that little Spirit Medicine Thief all along.
Once he processed this four-hundred-year-old Chicken Head Yellow Ginseng, it would undoubtedly serve as the perfect bait.
’Yellow Essence is known for replenishing blood and vital energy. This Chicken Head Yellow Ginseng, also known as Phoenix Blood Yellow Ginseng, is a Holy Grade item for replenishing Essence Blood. Once I use the Celestial One True Water on it, I can definitely raise its medicinal properties to a whole new level!’
A cunning glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. ’That little thing was injured,’ he mused. ’It needs a Spirit Medicine that can replenish Essence Blood and nourish its energy. Once this Chicken Head Yellow Ginseng appears in the Spirit Garden, there’s a ninety percent chance it won’t be able to resist stealing Spirit Medicine again. The moment it shows itself, it won’t escape this Cave Master’s trap!’
Qin Feng gave a sinister smile.
He looked up and saw Luan Xiaochuan and Zhao Yuan standing with their heads bowed. Qin Feng’s gaze shifted, landing on Luan Xiaochuan. This Grand Steward, whom he had personally appointed, had proven to be quite loyal since submitting to him.
Luan Xiaochuan’s performance during the last incident, when Wei Qinghuang and Su Mu came to cause trouble, had been particularly satisfactory.
’Besides, the man is extremely clever. He has great potential and is worth cultivating!’
’Perhaps I can groom him into a trusted confidant!’
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng looked up at Luan Xiaochuan and smiled. "Steward Luan, it seems you practice a Wood Attribute Technique?"
Looking a little bashful, Luan Xiaochuan scratched his head and said in a low voice, "The Cave Master’s perception is truly sharp. Your subordinate does indeed practice a Wood Attribute Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique. It’s called the *Cyan Wood Technique*, and it has ten layers in total. Although it’s not a Superior Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Skill, it can barely be considered a mid-tier one!"
Luan Xiaochuan gave an embarrassed smile. "It’s nothing to brag about, Cave Master, but it’s thanks to this *Cyan Wood Technique* that I was able to get ahead of my peers, master the 4th Layer of the Little Cloud Rain Technique, and get promoted to High-tier Medicine Boy on Heavenly Red Peak."
"The *Cyan Wood Technique* isn’t bad," Qin Feng said, looking at the clever young man. "Although it’s only mid-tier, its advantage lies in its stable cultivation path, free of hidden dangers."
"Steward Luan, you have been working tirelessly these past few days. You are diligent, and your loyalty to me is absolute. I have taken note of it all. I have always acted with justice: merit is always rewarded, and transgressions are always punished."
Luan Xiaochuan chuckled. "You praise me too much, Cave Master. Back then, I was merely trying to save my own skin!"
Qin Feng chuckled lightly. "You’re quite honest!"
After a moment’s thought, Qin Feng spoke to Luan Xiaochuan. "However, while the *Cyan Wood Technique* is good, it is ultimately just a mid-tier Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique. If you continue to practice it, even if you reach the tenth layer, breaking through to the Condensing Vein Realm will be incredibly difficult. Come here. I have a Wood Attribute Technique for you, the *Cyan Wood Condensing Green Technique*. While it only has twelve layers, it can increase your chances of breaking through to the Condensing Vein Realm by a fair margin. Listen carefully..."
A profound and esoteric technique of nearly a thousand words was recited clearly from Qin Feng’s mouth.
Luan Xiaochuan was still in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming. One had to understand that a High Level Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Secret Technique was the very foundation upon which a noble family or sect stood. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Many Noble Families had their beginnings when an ancestor obtained a Superior Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Skill, used it to found a sect, and then gradually grew into a colossal power that could dominate an entire town or city.
Such a Cultivation Technique Manual was often a sect’s most guarded secret. It was the very root of their power! The unshakable foundation of a thousand-year legacy!
Luan Xiaochuan simply couldn’t imagine that Qin Feng would impart such a technique to him.
Luan Xiaochuan found it hard to believe, but he instinctively focused all his attention, listening with everything he had. The more he heard, the more shocked he became, and a look of rapt fascination slowly spread across his face.
This *Cyan Wood Condensing Green Technique* was definitely a Superior Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Skill!
By the time Qin Feng uttered the final word...
A ruddy glow flashed across Luan Xiaochuan’s face. Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, he straightened his robes, took a step forward, and fell to his knees with a THUD. "Thank you for the grace of imparting this technique, Cave Master! Your subordinate will never forget this immense kindness for as long as I live. From this day forward, whatever you command, I will carry it out even if it costs me my life!"
Beside them, Zhao Yuan’s eyes grew red with envy as he watched. Luan Xiaochuan had truly lucked out. The Cave Master had actually taught him such a precious Secret Technique!
