Azure Dragon Spear Technique Obtained Again

Martial Artist have strong control over their bodies, and with deliberate imitation, their handwriting won't be too bad. However, handwriting is never simply a matter of imitation.

Yang Dongxiong doesn't think his handwriting is particularly good.

Why not take this opportunity to let Liang Qu interact more with Zhao Ji?

Relationships will fade if they don't last.

Martial Artist have their Martial Artist circles, and scholars have their own circles.

The two have some overlap and some differences.

Liang Qu is going to the academy less often now, and his student status is becoming increasingly diluted. It will be much more difficult to maintain that status in the future than it is today.

Liang Qu understood the meaning behind the words, thought about it and agreed.

The former Shanghu Academy has now been transformed into County School, and Headmaster Zhao's status has risen accordingly.

No scholar of any standing should be underestimated.

Just as Yang Dongxiong knew Earl Xu Wenzhu and was able to contact Duke Xu through Xu Wenzhu.

Having participated in the Imperial Examination, and having been classmates with several prominent figures and teachers, I naturally found myself in the Imperial Capital.

Liang Qu looked around.

"Besides that, there is something else I need to tell Master."

Yang Dongxiong understood and dismissed his servants.

Xu Shi could have stayed to listen in, but she never got involved in Martial Artist matters and left with Nan Di.

Only Liang Qu and his apprentice Yang Dongxiong remained in the entire hall.

"Since there's no one around, feel free to speak."

"Master, do you still remember the Buddhist Grandmaster is temporarily staying at my home?"

Yang Dongxiong nodded. It was hard to forget that a Grandmaster was living in the home of one of his Personal Disciple.

Liang Qu then told Yang Dongxiong about the Old Monk's speculation about the dike breach.

"Calamity Qi, from the Great Snow Mountain Sect..."

Yang Dongxiong frowned and pondered.

Liang Qu was merely Galloping Horse Martial Master on a galloping horse, a far cry from True Image, so it's no wonder he didn't know how to Qi Consumption.

As Great Martial Master, Yang Dongxiong would become Grandmaster after this stage, so it's impossible that he didn't know how to Qi Consumption.

But this is the first time I've heard of the Great Snow Mountain.

"Based on what you've said, it might actually be possible..."

As the head of both the River Conservancy Office Management Bureau and the Demon Subduing Division, Yang Dongxiong had a certain obligation to report the situation.

Liang Qu's purpose was precisely this.

"Master, please take care of the source of this information."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't involve you or that Grandmaster."

But what about that so-called Heretical Monk? There's still no clue.

Liang Qu shook his head. "No, the Grandmaster went to Hua Zhu County this time to look for clues."

"They really know how to hide it."

Yang Dongxiong's sentiments were exactly the same as Liang Qu's.

You can't guard against thieves forever if you're a thief for a thousand days.

Knowing that there was a powerful Great Martial Master roaming around Huaiyin Prefecture, who might already be stirring up trouble in the shadows, put him under considerable psychological pressure.

The master and apprentice remained silent.

After a long pause, Liang Qu suddenly asked, "Master, how far are you from becoming Grandmaster?"

Why are you asking this?

Liang Qu scratched his temple. "This disciple is curious, let me ask."

Liang Qu currently has two strands of Long Qi in his hands. The Red Qi seems to be of incompatible attributes, and apart from Sublimation of Favor, it doesn't have much use for the time being.

If his Master requires it, Liang Qu could use this opportunity to become Grandmaster, and the benefits he would gain would be substantial.

At least they can roam freely in prefectures and states without hindrance.

Yang Dongxiong glanced at his disciple, but didn't think much of it, assuming that Liang Qu had accidentally learned the method to become Grandmaster and was driven by his thirst for knowledge.

"There are three steps to becoming Grandmaster. Not to mention the most difficult Qi Consumption, I haven't even completed one of the next two steps. I guess I have no hope of ever reaching that goal in this lifetime."

"Ah, this..." Liang Qu was speechless, not expecting his Master to be so much worse. After a moment of silence, he managed to say, "Master, you need to work harder."

Yang Dongxiong was taken aback and leaned back in his Elder Monk.

"Have you been hanging out with the fourth brother for too long and learned all his ruthless and unruly ways?"

Liang Qu chuckled.

Perhaps because Xu Zishuai had given him so many shocks on a daily basis, Yang Dongxiong had become accustomed to it and did not take it to heart. He took out half of the booklet from his pocket.

"Your Azure Dragon Spear Technique, the fourth and fifth moves, are all here. I've changed them for you."

I went through it several times and practiced it for a few days, but I didn't feel any problems.

The moves and the flow of qi are consistent with the previous three moves, and when combined with the previous three moves, they create many more variations, showing the effect of generating Gang Qi.

A Great Merit achievement is invaluable; you should cultivate it diligently.

"Thank you, Master!"

Liang Qu received the booklet with great joy.

With four or five moves, the Seven Kill Spear was more than half complete! Liang Qu obtained the spear technique and, incidentally, told Yang Dongxiong about how he had contributed Great Merit in exchange for the Azure Dragon Kill Scripture.

"The Azure Dragon Kill Scripture ..." Yang Dongxiong pondered for a moment, "It doesn't seem quite like the Seven Kill Spear, but the name is quite similar."

The Azure Dragon Seven Kill Spear is, in theory, a martial art with very clearly defined moves, and when combined, it possesses immense power.

However, the Azure Dragon Kill Scripture doesn't sound like a martial art with clearly defined moves.

"This disciple suspects that the Azure Dragon Kill Scripture is similar to a comprehensive outline, not belonging to any of the Seven Kill Spear, yet it can trigger some additional variations?"

Yang Dongxiong largely agreed, "That is indeed possible."

After discussing for a while, Liang Qu took out a small booklet from his pocket before parting.

"Master, I have three special Dharma Gate that I would like to Master on to several senior brothers and sisters, especially the eldest brother."

"Ear, eye, and Nose Consciousness Method?"

Yang Dongxiong glanced at it a few times, quite curious about the name of the Dharma Gate.

After he read it through and heard Liang Qu explain its effects, his heart skipped a beat.

"Such Dharma Gate actually exists in the world? Where did you obtain it?"

"In the water".

"In the water..."

Yang Dongxiong composed himself, no longer surprised.

Underwater.

That's alright then.

normal.

"I have heard that the Western Army is often at war and in great danger. Therefore, I suggest that my senior brother start by practicing the Eye Consciousness Method to detect the hostility of others in time, seize the opportunity to survive, and guard against villains."

Secondly, one should cultivate the "Nose Consciousness Method," which helps in discerning what enters the mouth and avoiding the threat of poison. Next, one should cultivate the "Ear Consciousness Method," which allows one to hear all things and is extremely helpful in finding fortuitous opportunity. These three should be cultivated in the most important order.

Although he didn't interact much with his senior brother, Liang Qu still vividly remembered the gift of a Spirit Weapon he received at the beginning of the day.

He certainly wouldn't be stingy.

Liang Qu felt that the Dharma Gate sensing others' hostility was particularly important to his eldest brother, especially given that their Master's second son had died in battle.

As for the Old Monk, it didn't matter whether it was passed on to outsiders or not. Starting with the "Ear Consciousness Method," it was clearly left to Liang Qu to decide.

After all, the source of the Consciousness-Only Theory school was found by Liang Qu.

Yang Dongxiong solemnly accepted the gift. "Thank you for your kindness."

These three Dharma Gate don't significantly improve a practitioner's strength, but they are extremely important for survival! Those who aren't afraid of death understand this; those who are afraid of dying without understanding it are the ones who are afraid of dying.

"It is what a disciple should do."

As the light in the hall dimmed, Liang Qu did not linger any longer. He ran to say goodbye to his Master's Wife, declined the dinner invitation, and hurried home.

We've had dinner.

The Old Monk shouldered the bag Liang Qu had prepared and disappeared into the courtyard.

Liang Qu embraced the Mirage Worm and began to diligently practice the many new Dharma Gate he had acquired.
