By the time Shen Han returned to the small courtyard in Three Rivers County, night had already fallen.
Shen Han eagerly began decocting the medicine.
It had to be said that Manorless Daoist Temple's preliminary processing of medicinal herbs was far more meticulous and professional than that of the Green Garment Gang. The impurities had been removed completely, saving him quite a bit of time.
While waiting, he opened the panel.
Mirror Master: Shen Han Cultivation: Tendon Refining Cultivation Method: Ancient Sun Technique (Mastery) Martial Arts: Angry Dragon Divine Fist (Mastery), Sky-Splitting Blade Technique (Mastery), Wind-Thunder Steps (Initiation) Skill: Medicine (Mastery)
In just one afternoon, his clone had trained the Wind-Thunder Steps to the Initiation stage.
"Truly gifted beyond measure!"
Shen Han muttered.
Daoist Xuanyang had trained for so long without even entering the door, yet his clone practiced it with effortless ease.
The key to the Wind-Thunder Steps was to use the true qi within one's body and harness the air of the natural world to dart, turn, and shift. Once mastered, both one's stride frequency and speed would improve dramatically.
He casually gave it a try in the courtyard, and the sensation was unmistakable.
With a single leap, he could cross three zhang, while the speed beneath his feet was more than twice what it had been before.
"Wonderful!"
Shen Han was overjoyed. "It's already this strong at Initiation. If I train it to Minor Mastery, Major Mastery, or even Mastery later on, won't I be invincible?
With Wind-Thunder Steps, whenever I face an opponent I can't beat in the future, I'll just run!
Clone, come on, come on—let's keep working hard together!"
And so, spurred on by Shen Han's fervent encouragement, the clone once again began its sleepless, unceasing days of training...
The next day.
