Body Sect Secret Technique

Possessing a trace of True Dragon Bloodline could not be said to be much inferior to an actual True Dragon Bloodline.

After all, it was only a hundred years old. If this Sea Dragon grew to a thousand or even ten thousand years, this trace of bloodline would be fully developed, completely transforming into True Dragon Bloodline.

Thus, this hundred-year Sea Dragon was extremely valuable as well. Even at the Intermediate Auction House, it would be a finale item.

Even Xu Shengqun, a Spirit Transfer Envoy stationed in Skysea City and hailed as the overlord of the entire coastal region of the Skysea Alliance, was surprised by Mu Ye's description.

A hundred-year Sea Dragon that had awakened a trace of True Dragon Bloodline would be difficult to find in the Inshore Sea. One would likely have to venture into the Deep Sea and expend tremendous effort searching for one.

"Our Body Sect's cultivation core lies in tempering one's own blood and qi. Your Martial Soul is your brain, so you are somewhat disadvantaged when it comes to tempering your body. Stay here for the next month. Your master will prepare more ingredients for you during this time and, combined with the Body Sect Secret Technique, help you lay a solid foundation."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Xu Shengqun had no objections either.

Zhen Hua, meanwhile, was overjoyed.

After all, although Mu Ye practically doubled as his cook, he did not meticulously prepare meals for him every day. The ingredients meant to build his disciple's foundation would definitely be carefully selected.

Just like the Sea Dragon Tendon before them. Though it was not very old, it truly tasted excellent. More importantly, Xu Yuan alone might not even be able to eat a tenth of it.

Wouldn't the rest have to be taken care of by Zhen Hua?

The Sea Dragon Tendon was like this, and so would all the delicious food over the next month!

"Come, taste your master's cooking."

Mu Ye led Xu Yuan to the dining table. A knife suddenly appeared in his right hand, and he sliced off a small piece of tendon meat before handing Xu Yuan a fork.

Xu Yuan took the fork, speared the tendon meat, and bit down.

Immediately, immense energy burst forth in his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat and spread through his limbs and bones, bringing indescribable comfort.

Xu Yuan immediately set down the fork, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began circulating his Soul Power to refine it.

What immense energy!

Forget a tenth—even this piece of tendon meat was probably only one percent of the entire dish.

As Xu Yuan sat cross-legged refining it, Mu Ye, Zhen Hua, and Xu Shengqun observed his changes while enjoying the Sea Dragon Tendon themselves.

A full half hour passed before Xu Yuan finally refined the energy within his body.

"My Soul Power increased by at least as much as ten days of cultivation!"

The Sea Dragon Tendon itself contained abundant energy, but the cooking technique and seasonings were undoubtedly top-notch as well, bringing out its effects to the fullest.

"The first time you eat Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of this level, the effects are most pronounced. Hurry and eat. I saved some for you."

Xu Yuan nodded and looked at the remaining Sea Dragon Tendon, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

The meal lasted three hours.

The Soul Power within Xu Yuan's body increased by a large amount. This was at least equivalent to a month of meditation.

Mu Ye understood blood and qi extremely well. When Xu Yuan ate the first piece of tendon meat, he had already been observing how much Xu Yuan's body could endure. The portion he left for Xu Yuan was exactly what Xu Yuan could digest.

Once Xu Yuan finished eating and completely refined the final piece of Sea Dragon Tendon, Mu Ye immediately stepped forward and fiercely tapped Xu Yuan's shoulder.

A powerful stream of Soul Power surged into Xu Yuan's body through the acupoint.

Xu Yuan was not alarmed. Instead, he was curious.

Mu Ye had no reason to harm him, so what he was doing now had to be beneficial. With that mindset, Xu Yuan curiously sensed the movement of Mu Ye's Soul Power.

"Eh!" Mu Ye exclaimed in surprise. "Good lad, you've already begun circulating your Soul Power in a cycle."

Moreover, judging from the general circulation of that Soul Power, the path was quite complex. It was the circulation route paired with a top-tier Meditation Method.

Though surprised, Mu Ye did not stop moving. He tapped acupoints all over Xu Yuan's body in rapid succession.

Streams of powerful Soul Power surged into Xu Yuan's body through the acupoints.

After Mu Ye finished, Xu Yuan felt the powerful Soul Power that had entered his body instantly form a whole, as though it were sealing something within him.

"This is a secret technique of the Body Sect. I used Soul Power to seal your blood and qi. Of course, that does not mean your blood and qi cannot grow, nor that you cannot cultivate. It simply means they cannot settle in the short term."

They could not settle?

"For the next month, I will prepare all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that increase blood and qi for you. Your body definitely cannot absorb all of them completely. If all that energy settled within you, it would indeed become part of your reserves, but it would also greatly affect the efficiency of your Bloodline Cultivation. With the secret technique assisting you now, the energy cannot settle and will continuously remain near the surface. Though much of it will dissipate, it can nourish your blood and qi to the greatest extent and forge the finest foundation for you."

Xu Yuan nodded in understanding.

He got it.

A cash-burning secret technique!

Mu Ye looked at Xu Shengqun.

Xu Shengqun was speechless.

What kind of look was that?

Was he trying to drive him away already?

Couldn't he watch his own nephew a little longer?

"These are Spearmanship Basics. Practice them well this month. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your teacher too. He should be more than capable of guiding you in these matters. I'll come pick you up in a month." Xu Shengqun did not get angry. He took out a prepared booklet and handed it to Xu Yuan.

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll cultivate diligently."

Xu Shengqun rubbed Xu Yuan's head, nodded, and then left.

After Xu Shengqun departed, Mu Ye was surprised as well.

"Spearmanship Basics?"

He looked at his beloved disciple in surprise.

"Yes, my other Martial Soul is the Heaven Origin Brush. It has a Pen Spear form." Xu Yuan did not hide it.

Heaven Origin Brush?

Pen Spear?

Mu Ye was quite curious and immediately had Xu Yuan summon it for him to see.

Xu Yuan nodded. Black-and-white light flashed over his right hand, and the Heaven Origin Brush appeared.

"Eh!" Zhen Hua exclaimed in surprise from the side.

Mu Ye curiously looked at his old friend.

"Your Martial Soul has no small degree of affinity with Heaven and Earth."

As a Divine Craftsman who had undergone Heavenly Forging countless times and endured so many Thunder Tribulations, Zhen Hua's perception of the Power of Heaven and Earth was the clearest. The moment Xu Yuan's Heaven Origin Brush appeared, he clearly sensed the changes in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi.

"That's right. In its normal form, my Heaven Origin Brush can also assist my Soul Power in merging with Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to form ink."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan demonstrated it.

"This ability of yours is more than just forming ink." Seeing that Xu Yuan had developed this ability rather well, even controlling the ink from afar to explode and inflict secondary damage, Zhen Hua was surprised but also offered a suggestion.

Xu Yuan looked over curiously.

"If merely merging Heaven and Earth Origin Qi can form ink, what if attributes are involved?" Zhen Hua prompted him.

Xu Yuan suddenly understood what Zhen Hua meant.

"You mean that if I have a Soul Spirit with elemental control, then my Heaven Origin Brush could inherit an elemental-control Soul Skill and condense Elemental Power with the corresponding attribute?"

Zhen Hua nodded, then shook his head.

"Not only that."
