Emperor Seal Art
Although Lin Qing's stated purpose for coming to the academy didn't include finding any special individuals, she still sensed that this little girl was no ordinary person!
"She's not particularly special! She's just a Magical Beast with a strong bloodline and great potential, but she has a deficiency in her innate essence. She wandered alone in the Magic Beast Forest since she was a child, and was then picked up by the academy's Great Elder. She's not bad at heart! But there's no need to deliberately try to please her; just treat her as a friend!"
Lin Qing waved his hand. He hadn't eaten the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, nor had he dealt with Zi Yan from the various Dragon Island. His only strengths were his spatial abilities and his ability to find Medicinal Herb.
However, her bloodline is quite strong, and her growth potential is still quite good. If she can consume the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, it is still possible for her to become a four- or five- Dou Sheng.
For now, it's best to treat him as a friend. As for the future, whether he becomes Dragon Knight or something else, it's too early to say, and we'll have to deal with that later.
After Zi Yan left, Lin Qing returned to the Medication Cauldron to continue refining other Medicinal Pellet and Medicinal Pill.
After successfully befriending Lin Qing, Zi Yan began visiting Lin Qing's residence more frequently.
After that, Lin Qing's life became more regular.
Aside from daily cultivation, he also studied alchemy, refined some Medicinal Pellet for Zi Yan, and provided guidance on cultivation to Xiao Yu Xue Mei the others.
Lin Qing was also very generous with himself, sharing all his insights and experiences with them.
Although he had never been a teacher, his strength and alchemy skills were undeniable, so guiding a few cultivators who had just entered the Dou Zhe or Dou Master was no problem for him.
During this time, he would occasionally complete some System Task and, incidentally, refine Medicinal Pill for some of the academy's elders.
Of course, besides cultivation, he also didn't neglect learning Dou Technique.
Because he understood that in order to avoid being bullied, he had to keep getting stronger; to survive in this dog-eat-dog Xuanhuan World, his fists had to be bigger than everyone else's.
With the help of the Ancestral Stone, he had basically perfected the other Earth Grade Dou Technique he possessed. He could even unleash the first level of the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, which could Half-Finger Shaking the Heavens.
It's a pity that his body couldn't withstand it, and coupled with insufficient cultivation, he couldn't fully unleash that finger strike.
Indeed, the gap between the Heaven Grade and the Earth Grade is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
The High Earth Grade Heaven-Burning Seal alone would drain half of his Dou Qi. And this wasn't even the complete version with the added Heavenly Flames. If it were the complete version, it would probably drain all the Dou Qi from his body.
Fortunately, due to the strength of his soul, he can use High Earth Grade Soul Dou Skill as a trump card.
"Now that the Ancestor Symbol's inherent skills are limited by cultivation level, the only skill left that can be cultivated is the Emperor Seal Art!"
With a flick of his wrist, the black scroll appeared in his hand.
The scroll was perfectly round, like a cylinder, with no apparent opening. Yet, the faint, dark light emanating from it hinted at its extraordinary nature.
Following the method he remembered, Lin Qing channeled his Dou Qi into the scroll. Faced with such a massive influx of Dou Qi, the dark scroll, apart from emitting a slightly denser dim light from its surface, remained largely unresponsive.
More than ten minutes later, in the face of Lin Qing's endless infusion, the scroll finally reacted a little, and a faint clicking sound came from it.
"Click!"
At this moment, a tiny crack had quietly appeared on the surface of the scroll, and the cracking sound from earlier had come from this spot.
Lin Qing ignored this reaction and continued to channel his Dou Qi. As more and more Dou Qi was poured in, the cracks on the surface of the black scroll gradually increased, and a faint golden light could be seen overflowing between the cracks.
As another surge of powerful Dou Qi poured into the scroll, Lin Qing noticed that the scroll's ability to absorb Dou Qi seemed to have disappeared. Immediately, he saw cracks rapidly spreading across the dark scroll, eventually covering its entire surface...
Just as the scroll was riddled with cracks, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from it. Lin Qing felt a sharp pain in his eyes and had no choice but to close them quickly.
"Bang!"
As Lin Qing closed his eyes, the pitch-black scroll suddenly burst open, unleashing a torrent of golden light that illuminated the entire room, creating a magnificent and dazzling spectacle.
Upon hearing the sound of the scroll shattering, Lin Qing opened his eyes. Ignoring the broken scrolls around him, he looked up and discovered that in the air in front of him, a large expanse of golden light swirled, and within the golden light, something was churning, which appeared to be some kind of writing.
Lin Qing felt dizzy and lightheaded after just one glance at the dense golden characters. He quickly looked away, slowly extended his hand, and finally probed into the golden light.
As Lin Qing's palm reached in, the golden light surged violently, then swirled and finally transformed into a golden beam that crashed directly into Lin Qing's head. At the moment of contact, the golden light entered Lin Qing's mind without any hindrance.
As soon as the golden light entered his brain, Lin Qing felt a throbbing sensation. He immediately calmed his mind and searched for the golden light within his brain.
The moment his mind entered his brain, a burst of dazzling golden light shot out. Looking around, he found that this place was almost a world of golden light. In the air in front of him, countless characters formed by golden light were pieced together and finally twisted and turned to form a light screen in mid-air. On the light screen, the huge golden characters were so bright that they hurt Lin Qing's eyes.
"The Emperor Seal Art, High Earth Grade, is said to have been created by an ancient Dou Emperor powerhouse. It consists of five forms: Mountain-Opening Seal, Sea-Overturning Seal Earth-Covering Seal Heaven-Obliterating Seal, Heaven-Annihilating Ancient Emperor Seal. Each seal is interconnected, and when all five seals are mastered, one possesses the power to overturn rivers and seas and devour the heavens and earth! At its peak, it rivals the Heaven Grade Dou Technique! However, to cultivate this seal, one must reach the Dou Wang Rank; otherwise, failure to cultivate the seal will bring suffering!"
"As expected! Few Earth Grade Dou Technique are simple!" Lin Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.
The previous Heaven-Burning Seal was like this, and so is the current Ancient Emperor Seal; both require cultivation level.
Just as Lin Qing was pondering, the dazzling golden light curtain trembled slightly, and then a beam of golden light shot towards his mind.
The sudden golden light startled Lin Qing, but he did not dodge it. He did not believe that Xun'er would leave anything harmful to him inside.
The golden light pierced through Lin Qing's mind, and in an instant, something was faintly imprinted deep within Lin Qing's mind.
Lin Qing slowly closed his eyes, and a flood of information rushed in. He carefully read through it and, sure enough, found the cultivation method of the Emperor Seal Art among the information.
'Good heavens! And it's the complete version! Gu Yuan's little cotton-padded jacket is leaking air. But this Dou Technique might be okay for fighting in the Northwest Continent, but it needs to be used with caution in the Central Plains.'
After gathering all the information, Lin Qing mentally complained.
