Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 91 Guiding Cultivation

Bai Qiuhe took out a jade slip from his spirit ring.

The so-called jade slip, as opposed to the bamboo slip, dated back to ancient times when humans recorded ancient characters on bamboo strips. These strips were bound together to form what was called bamboo slips.

Bamboo slips were, relatively speaking, more archaic tools for recording written characters.

But jade slips were far superior to bamboo slips.

After a long period of exploration, the ancients discovered that jade contained spiritual energy from heaven and earth and could be used to absorb and store this spiritual energy. Similarly, messages containing spiritual energy could be recorded in them, and they were very stable, not disappearing even over very long periods.

Thus, cultivators began to create jade slips the size of a thumb’s bodhi, also called jade cocoons. Using spiritual energy, they inscribed text or thoughts into them, forming jade slips that contained legacy cultivation techniques or other information.

"This is the secret technique of the Fierce Dragon Spear Technique!"

Bai Qiuhe handed the jade slip to Qin Qing.

Qin Qing received the jade slip and placed it against his forehead, enshrouding it with spiritual power and quickly immersing himself into it.

"Fierce Dragon Spear Technique... the first stance, Hidden Dragon."

Qin Qing quickly skimmed through the secret technique of the Fierce Dragon Halberd Technique.

"The Fierce Dragon Spear Technique has a total of six stances!" Bai Qiuhe said, "As a teacher, I have not delved much into the art of the spear, so I can’t provide much guidance on spear techniques. However, if you encounter any problems during your practice, I should still be able to discern them and help you to correct them."

Qin Qing nodded.

He also knew that his master could guide him in cultivation, help him advance his realm, offer him insights, and assist him in breaking through bottlenecks.

But when it came to the practice of martial arts techniques, it was a completely different field.

Master Bai Qiuhe’s main practice was the way of the sword. Although there was some common ground between the sword and the spear, most of the profound mysteries were entirely different.

"You can try to practice this spear technique first, so I can see what kind of talent you have for spear art," Bai Qiuhe added.

Qin Qing nodded again.

Soon, he was deeply engrossed in the "Fierce Dragon Spear Technique."

The "Fierce Dragon Spear Technique" had six stances, each with hundreds of variations.

If all six stances were perfected, the variations were endless and boundless.

Qin Qing first had to grasp the initial stance. All martial arts techniques progressed from the simple to the complex; the first stance was the most fundamental. Only by practicing and understanding the first stance thoroughly, reaching perfection, could one better practice the second stance.

If one did not master the first stance but forcefully attempted to comprehend the second, it would be like a tree without roots, and accomplishments would be extremely difficult.

Following stances would be even more challenging and profound.

Thus, practicing martial arts techniques was just like cultivating one’s realm – both should progress in an orderly and step-by-step manner.

"The first stance, Hidden Dragon!"

"The spear is like a dragon, lurking in the abyss before striking..."

"If it does not appear, it remains unnoticed; but once it strikes, it is astonishing."

Qin Qing pondered carefully and thoughtfully.

In many master duels, victory or defeat could be decided in an instant.

And that first stance often brought the effect of achieving victory through an unexpected move.

The first stance of the Fierce Dragon Spear Technique, Hidden Dragon, embodied this concept.

Qin Qing contemplated the profound mysteries and then followed the hundreds of spear movements recorded to start practicing.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The long spear moved like a dragon, Qin Qing’s arms shaking rapidly as the Azure Dragon Spear stabbed out at an extremely fast speed each time.

"Whoosh!"

The long spear slashed, like a dragon swinging its tail unexpectedly, its power startling.

"This spear move is not bad, but the spearhead’s stabbing position is an inch too high!"

Qin Qing practiced spear techniques, while Bai Qiuhe closely observed and pointed out problems, enabling Qin Qing to adjust based on Bai Qiuhe’s guidance on the spot.

Indeed.

After improving based on Bai Qiuhe’s instructions, Qin Qing felt that his training became more efficient and comfortable.

As the saying goes, "A master leads you to the door; the practice is up to you."

Whether one can "enter the door" is, in fact, a significant hurdle.

Many people waste a considerable amount of time "outside the door," unable to step over the "threshold" for a long period, precisely because they have not received the teachings and personal guidance of an experienced senior.

It’s at times like these that the importance of having a master to lead you through the door becomes ever so apparent.

"Huff, huff..."

The shadow of the spear flickered continuously.

Time passed quickly, hour by hour.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days,

Qin Qing had been continuously practicing the "Fierce Dragon Spear Technique," without any rest, not even to drink a drop of water.

And Bai Qiuhe had been by his side the whole time, not taking a single step away.

This was how the master and apprentice spent those three days.

"Whoosh!"

Finally, Qin Qing thrust his Azure Dragon Spear diagonally upwards, with a flash of green light, as if a dragon made of green flames formed and lunged forward in a bite, even faintly accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar!

"Good!"

Bai Qiuhe clapped his hands and walked over.

In his eyes shone admiration and relief.

"Not bad at all. Qin Qing, your last spear thrust has the power to threaten those in the early phase of the Divine Might Realm!"

"Although you are currently at the sixth level of the Soul Refinement Realm, your strength is such that very few below the Divine Might Realm should be able to pose a threat to you!"

"Even those with a more average Martial Soul who are at the eighth or ninth level of the Soul Refinement Realm are unlikely to match you in strength!"

Bai Qiuhe looked at Qin Qing and said.

Qin Qing nodded slightly, as he understood his own strength quite well.

Moreover, he had sparred with members of the Divine Might Realm like Lin Feng, Shangguan Feixing, and Guan Changtian.

After awakening his Dragon Blood Physique, his strength had soared rapidly, and indeed, he didn’t need to fear any martial cultivator within the bounds of the Soul Refinement Realm.

"In other words, my current strength is now equivalent to the pinnacle existence below the Divine Might Realm."

Qin Qing looked at his master Bai Qiuhe and then said, "If I were to use the Blood Burning Secret Technique, it would be as if I’ve jumped an entire Great Realm in strength. That means, below the Golden Core Realm, there should be very few who could pose a threat to me!"

"In theory, that’s true! However," said Bai Qiuhe, "the higher the realm, the more methods there are. Once reaching the late stages of the Divine Might Realm, particularly at the Perfection of the False Elixir phase, cultivators of this realm begin to have all kinds of strange and unpredictable combat methods, so you can’t be careless!

Secondly... I must remind you again, use the Blood Burning Secret Technique with the utmost caution! The potential consequences are too grave. With your exceptional talent, if using the Blood Burning Secret Technique caused irreparable damage to your future, it would truly be a loss not worth the gain..."

Bai Qiuhe spoke earnestly and lectured once more.

Qin Qing, however, smiled slightly and said, "Master, I feel that whenever I use the Blood Burning Secret Technique now, I no longer suffer from any aftereffects."

"What?"

At Qin Qing’s words, Bai Qiuhe showed a somewhat disbelieving expression.

"It’s true, master, look..."

As he spoke, Qin Qing immediately triggered the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Instantly, the aura exuding from Qin Qing underwent a massive change...
