After generating Dark Yin True Qi, Su Que willed it and summoned his attributes.
Name: Su Que (18 years old) Lifespan: 191 Talent Value: 36 Martial Arts: Seven Injuries Fist (Sixth Realm, Divine Skill 36%), Dark Yin Finger (Initial Glimpse 1%), Yin Wind Claw (Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery 99%) [Expand] Internal Skills: Wedding Dress Divine Skill (Fourth Realm, Outstanding 30%), Crimson Fiend Skill (Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery 99%)
Because Dark Yin Finger had been initiated, his lifespan increased by five years, and his Talent Value increased by one point.
I wonder how powerful First Realm Dark Yin True Qi is?
As soon as the thought crossed Su Que's mind, he pressed together the middle and index fingers of his right hand, circulated Dark Yin True Qi, and pointed ahead of himself.
At once, a chill washed over his face.
Like the Crimson Fiend Skill, First Realm Dark Yin True Qi basically has no killing power.
Keep cultivating!
Su Que gathered his Heart Intent, sat cross-legged on the bed, and circulated that wisp of Dark Yin True Qi within him.
That wisp of Dark Yin True Qi rapidly grew stronger.
By the time he left the house, Dark Yin Finger had already reached the Second Realm, Minor Accomplishment, 33%.
Because of Dark Yin Finger's advancement, his lifespan increased by six years, and his Talent Value rose by one point.
After eating breakfast in West City, Su Que headed toward the School, ready to carry out his daily work of teaching and nurturing others.
After dinner that evening, Su Que left the Household as usual and went outside the city to hunt, brew medicine, and practice martial arts.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
Over those four days, Su Que taught during the day and practiced martial arts at night. His life was peaceful and fulfilling.
From his elder sister, he learned that while he had been teaching at the School during the day, White Lotus Disciples had already come to the Household and searched it.
The White Lotus Disciples searched everywhere, even beneath the beds and under the stove. Finding nothing suspicious, they asked about his name and identity before leaving.
Su Que secretly found it amusing when he heard this.
He had long since moved everything into the cave on Qinghua Mountain.
No matter how the White Lotus Sect searched, they would find nothing.
Still, the White Lotus Disciples might search all around Jade Water City and eventually discover the herbs and supplies he had hidden in the Qinghua Mountain cave.
But he had no intention of finding another place to store things in Jade Water City.
For one thing, there were Five Mountains outside Jade Water City. Each covered no small area, and each had countless caves, large and small. It would not be so easy for the White Lotus Disciples to find the cave where he hid his things.
For another, with the White Lotus Sect searching the entire city, the best hiding place he could think of was a mountain cave.
If the White Lotus Sect really finds my herbs and supplies, then they can only count themselves unlucky...
Su Que thought to himself.
He summoned his attributes.
Name: Su Que (18 years old) Lifespan: 203 Talent Value: 38 Martial Arts: Seven Injuries Fist (Sixth Realm, Divine Skill 36%), Dark Yin Finger (Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery 99%), Yin Wind Claw (Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery 99%) [Expand] Internal Skills: Wedding Dress Divine Skill (Fourth Realm, Outstanding 30%), Crimson Fiend Skill (Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery 99%)
He had cultivated Dark Yin Finger to the Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery, 99%. Next, he would cultivate Seven Injuries Fist and Wedding Dress Divine Skill.
Once he cultivated Wedding Dress Divine Skill to its next realm, he would use Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi, Crimson Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Claw Death Qi, and Dark Yin True Qi together to raise his martial realm.
Judging only by his martial realm, he was merely a Fourth Blood Bone Forging martial artist. But his true strength had long surpassed that.
Once he raised his martial realm to Fifth Blood Organ Refining, Bai Wuji, who was likewise at Fifth Blood Organ Refining, would pose no threat to him whatsoever.
After cultivating Dark Yin Finger to its peak, I still haven't tested its power.
Like Crimson Fiend Skill and Yin Wind Claw, the deduced peak of Dark Yin Finger was also the Fifth Realm, Peak Mastery.
Su Que walked up to a tree, pressed together the middle and index fingers of his right hand, circulated Dark Yin True Qi, and fiercely pointed at the trunk.
Dark Yin True Qi burst from his two fingers and struck the trunk.
At once, a large patch of the trunk frosted over.
Su Que lightly picked at the frozen portion of the trunk with his hand, and a large chunk of wood came away.
Not bad power!
Su Que secretly praised it.
Next, I need to bring Seven Injuries Fist, Yin Wind Claw, and Dark Yin Finger into complete mastery, so I can switch between their moves as I please, without the slightest obstruction.
This was an idea he had conceived while cultivating Yin Wind Claw and Dark Yin Finger.
Although he practiced these other sinister arts to extend his lifespan and increase his Talent Value, thereby forcing the advancement of Seven Injuries Fist and Wedding Dress Divine Skill—
he felt that after working hard to cultivate several martial arts, he could also increase the variety of moves at his disposal when facing enemies.
Thus, in the forest, he assumed a stance and began with the Seven Injuries Fist he knew best.
In an instant, his fist wind roared like a tiger. All seven formulas of Seven Injuries Fist came forth together, and seven types of fist force darted back and forth through the air.
Suddenly, he changed his fists into claws and unleashed several moves of Yin Wind Claw.
Immediately afterward, he changed his claws back into fists and continued using Seven Injuries Fist.
After several punches, the middle and index fingers of his right hand suddenly extended, and he unleashed several moves of Dark Yin Finger.
At first, he felt that the transitions between the three different martial arts were not so natural.
But very quickly, he grasped the key within his heart.
The transitions between the three martial arts grew increasingly deft. Sometimes, before a move from one martial art had even been fully executed, he could immediately switch to another.
For a time, the air around him was filled with fist shadows, claw shadows, and finger shadows.
Seven Injuries Fist force, Yin Wind Claw Death Qi, and Dark Yin Finger force interwove through the air.
After practicing for a while longer, inspiration suddenly struck him, and he fused Crimson Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Death Qi, and Dark Yin True Qi into his Seven Injuries Fist force.
His original Seven Injuries Fist force had already fused with Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi.
And now, with a single punch, he not only possessed seven kinds of fist force, but that force was also mixed with four kinds of inner qi.
I wonder if I can use Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi as the foundation and fuse it with Crimson Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Death Qi, and Dark Yin True Qi!
With that thought, Su Que immediately returned to the cave on Qinghua Mountain, sat cross-legged, and focused on mobilizing all the true qi within his meridians.
Originally, the four kinds of inner qi—Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi, Crimson Fiend True Qi, Yin Wind Death Qi, and Dark Yin True Qi—repelled one another.
In particular, the extremely yang Crimson Fiend True Qi and the extremely yin Yin Wind Death Qi and Dark Yin True Qi repelled each other even more fiercely.
But Su Que's comprehension was now high, and through cultivating these various martial arts, he had come to understand certain principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint.
Following those principles, he began to experiment.
His first attempt failed.
At the instant the true qi was about to fuse, the four kinds of true qi exploded violently within his meridians.
Fortunately, his meridians were tough, and the explosion only caused him minor injuries.
On his second attempt, Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi fused with Crimson Fiend True Qi, but after Yin Wind Death Qi was added, the true qi exploded again.
A muffled boom sounded from within his body.
For his third attempt, Su Que used the experience from the previous two attempts and began fusing them again.
He still first fused Crimson Fiend True Qi into Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi.
Then, using a new method, he successfully fused Yin Wind Death Qi into it as well.
Crimson Fiend True Qi and Yin Wind Death Qi maintained a certain distance, mutually generating and restraining one another.
Then, with a thought, he fused Dark Yin True Qi into it as well.
He walked out of the cave, circulated Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi fused with the other kinds of true qi, and punched a tree.
With a bang, the tree snapped in response.
Looking at the broken cross-section of the tree, he saw many different traces upon it.
The smooth areas had been caused by the fierce and forceful Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi.
The scorched black areas were the burning effect of Crimson Fiend True Qi.
The rotten, blackened areas were the corrosive effect of Yin Wind Death Qi.
The frozen areas were the effect of Dark Yin True Qi.
There was also a shattered gap, caused by the explosion produced when the extremely yang Crimson Fiend True Qi and the extremely yin Yin Wind Death Qi and Dark Yin True Qi were compressed together in an instant.
Su Que clicked his tongue as he stared at the broken cross-section, thinking to himself.
After fusing foreign true qi into Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi, it's equivalent to Wedding Dress Divine Skill True Qi gaining four additional effects: burning, corrosion, freezing, and explosion.
