Chapter 30: Obtaining the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record – Discussing Traces Without Considerin
Moreover.
Qin Xu glanced at Tang San discreetly; his features were too square. He had a bull's nose, wolf-like eyes, dark skin, an ordinary appearance, and a thin build, but his arms were as strong as a bear's.
Therefore, Qin Xu believed that Tang San's mother might have resembled Sister Yu.
Seeing the delicate and moist Blue Silver Grass's ingratiating appearance, Qin Xu once again used a dose of solar essence on it. The Blue Silver Grass's leaves trembled violently, conveying the emotion of 'admiration'.
"Has the power of domination come into play again?"
Qin Xu rested his chin on his hand. His martial soul quality was not high enough to make a top-tier plant-type soul beast like the Blue Silver Emperor pledge its loyalty, but the essence of the sun seemed to have some effect.
All things are born from the sun, and the sun is the origin of everything. Plant-type soul beasts seem to be under attack from the sun.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Tang San asked quickly when he saw his teacher deep in thought.
"It's nothing, your mother wants me to take her away from here." Qin Xu couldn't very well say that your mother wanted to pledge her loyalty to me, that would be too insulting. Besides, unless you water her every day, you're far from being able to be controlled by her.
Upon hearing this, Ah Yin immediately became cheerful, clearly eager to leave the cave as well.
Furthermore, she was more interested in Qin Xu's martial spirit. She couldn't understand what kind of martial spirit the person before her possessed, that it could attract the essence of the sun.
The essence of the sun is of great benefit to all plant-type soul beasts, and for her, it can greatly accelerate her recovery speed.
After thinking for a moment, Ah Yin's branches stretched out and pointed to a certain spot.
Qin Xu was puzzled, but based on A Yin's behavior, he became convinced that A Yin might be guiding him toward something good.
Tang San was also curious; he didn't know why his mother had pointed him in this direction.
And he hesitated.
If it were a spirit bone, he didn't want to cause trouble. But his mother lived here, and he was very worried about her.
Just as I was about to say something, I saw that the teacher had already taken out a ceramic basin engraved with a sunburst pattern.
Qin Xu was far less wary of Tang Hao than Tang San was. Once he could monitor Tang Hao's movements, many threats would be reduced. Not to mention, it would be difficult for Tang Hao to connect this matter with him.
Since we can save them, we should definitely see it through to the end. This will prevent any further trouble.
Releasing his martial spirit, the Sun-Chasing Blood Vine quickly transformed into several tentacles, carefully digging into the roots beneath the Blue Silver Emperor's feet. With the help of his martial spirit, Qin Xu successfully transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor completely into the earthenware basin.
Tang San wasn't idle either; he began carefully cleaning up the traces of the cave.
Qin Xu's gaze sharpened, and he released his martial spirit. Countless branches intertwined and converged, like living snakes, slowly gathering into a hammer shape.
He spread his five fingers and made a grasping motion in the air.
Behind him, the massive horn-shaped hammer formed by intertwined branches seemed to become part of his body, trembling slightly as it blasted out along with his movements.
The cliff face was shattered, revealing a large expanse of sunlight. A torrent of water rushed in, instantly filling half of the cave and nearly destroying it.
All traces were also erased.
This made Tang San, who was cleaning up the traces, feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Xiao San, let's go," Qin Xu said.
"Okay, teacher." Tang San hesitated for a moment, then said, "Teacher, could you promise me something?"
"Use your first soul skill to help your mother recover, right? No problem." Qin Xu agreed without hesitation.
Tang San shook his head, but felt a warmth in his heart.
"No. Teacher, Xiao San wants you to swear an oath not to teach the 'Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record' to outsiders." Tang San said solemnly, then earnestly:
"Teacher, you have taught me, guided me to adulthood, and saved my mother. I have no way to repay you! The only thing I have is the 'Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record,' which is worthy of your attention. If I were to still be concerned about sectarianism and deliberately ignore your kindness to me, what difference would there be between me, Tang San, and hypocritical and evil people like Tang Hao?"
Tang San spoke with a firm and serious tone.
In his view, Tang Hao was a villainous and wicked man, as well as an ungrateful and heartless person.
He is a man of deep feelings.
I consider myself someone who always repays kindness.
Having followed Qin Xu for many years, he was greatly influenced by Qin Xu and became very focused on his own state of mind.
His teacher had helped him a great deal in the past, and Tang San believed he would repay his teacher countless times over in the future. However, Tang San no longer had that ambition.
The teacher is not just a Soul Master.
Furthermore, he was willing to take the risk of taking in the mother.
So he took out the "Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record," believing that these things would surely help his teacher.
The only thing that has been preserved is the method of making the hidden weapons.
Qin Xu hesitated for a moment, but seeing how serious his disciple was, he thought for a while, made a solemn oath, and then accepted it.
After a moment, Qin Xu glanced at it a few times, his expression gradually becoming serious. He exclaimed repeatedly, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Xiao San, you must be careful in the future. Never reveal the inheritance of this technique, not even to your closest relatives. Even if you join your Tang Sect, it's best not to pass on the second half of the inheritance, otherwise future generations will inevitably leak it. Once everyone practices the Xuan Tian Gong, the profession of Soul Master in Douluo Continent may gradually disappear."
He never expected the Xuan Tian Treasure Record to be so miraculous!
The current Qin Ruins is also the patriarch of martial arts, the head of a sect, and his knowledge is certainly not lacking. Of course, he can see the lofty intentions behind this Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record. Whether it is its characteristic of continuous life or its understanding of meridians and the Three Flowers Gathering Cauldron, it is very profound.
"This world is not simple either. There aren't many obviously strong individuals, yet they possess such advanced techniques. I thought Soul Masters only had meditation skills."
Tang San nodded quickly upon hearing his teacher's emphasis, indicating that his teacher understood the importance of the matter.
Qin Xu said, "Since that's the case, I will also teach you a technique. I originally intended to give this technique to you as a birthday gift. Now I will teach it to you as well. After you master this technique, combined with whale glue, your battle with your brother should be a foregone conclusion."
Qin Xu's words surprised Tang San. Qin Xu had indeed said before that with whale glue, the gap between him and his brother would narrow dramatically. He hadn't expected there to be a specific method for it.
Before he could think further, Qin Xu suddenly tapped Tang San on the head and said, "Don't overthink it. The method I'm going to teach you is called 'Martial Arts,' which has a very high threshold, even higher than the requirements for the Soul Master field, and it heavily relies on talent, except for Martial Soul talent."
Martial arts require not only money, but also comprehension.
If you can't sense the body's secretions, then it's all for nothing.
After all, it was a path that the Black Seal specifically deduced for himself. For others to cultivate it, it would be much more difficult and less efficient, and even getting started would be extremely difficult.
Unless he gives you guidance.
Tang San looked on curiously and realized the special nature of martial arts, which was different from the Soul Master system and could be cultivated alongside Soul Masters.
"Since you practice martial arts, you don't need to hide it. Even if it's exposed, it doesn't matter. At worst, you can just pass on the method," Qin Xu said.
Martial arts are not only arduous, but also difficult.
Without his Blood Refining and Qi Transformation technique, others would have a real hard time making a name for themselves.
Not only do they need a supply of meat, but they also need special medicinal supplements. Breaking through the barrier requires a massive amount of vitality, and if they fail to break through, they will face a situation of great loss of vital energy.
The latter is the most crucial of all. Unlike martial spirits, which can be cultivated through meditation and are simple and reliable.
"Teacher, I have a pretty good comprehension. The Xuan Tian Treasure Record is extremely difficult, but with my guidance, you will definitely be able to get the hang of it." Tang San was quite confident in his comprehension.
How can one create the "Buddha's Wrathful Lotus" if one lacks profound understanding and extraordinary wisdom?
The two deliberately kept their conversation from Ah Yin, so Ah Yin didn't hear it.
Ah Yin didn't notice anything unusual either, but simply guided the two of them in one direction.
Upon reaching their destination, the two pried open half of a cliff and retrieved a dark stone box from inside. It was able to isolate one's aura, and even Qin Xu could not sense it.
Inside the stone box was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor left leg bone.
After a moment of silence, the two shared their thoughts.
Qin Xu already possessed a soul bone, although it was a 100,000-year-old soul bone. However, Qin Xu was not envious of it because he could enhance the age of his soul rings, so he resolutely handed it over to Tang San.
For Tang San, the Blue Silver Emperor left leg bone was his mother's heirloom, and absorbing this soul bone would be utterly rebellious. Therefore, Tang San resolutely refused to absorb it.
Not only today, but it will not be absorbed in the future either.
Ah Yin watched the two discussing her 'ashes.' She wanted to please Qin Xu, but Qin Xu didn't seem to want them. Fortunately, the other one who called her 'Mom' didn't want them either.
It's useless even if you give it to yourself.
Qin Xu hesitated for a moment, thinking about the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" that Tang San had taught him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Little San, you take the soul bone first. I will study it carefully and see if I can return the original energy in the soul bone to your mother's original body. Perhaps, it can help your mother transform into human form sooner."
Qin Xu was quite confident in the magic of the black seal.
It can be said that it is almost omnipotent.
The only problem is that he's so lacking in good luck!
He wanted to figure out the mechanism of good fortune, so he had always wanted to reserve five points of good fortune to strengthen the "Art of Fortune Observation". But since it was to help his disciple, Qin Xu was willing to bring forward the importance of this matter.
Of course, this is all on the premise of ensuring one's own safety.
If Ah Yin is resurrected but her mind isn't quite right and she wants to see Tang Hao, then Qin Xu will have to think it over.
"Teacher...you, are you telling the truth?" Tang San was incredulous, but knowing his teacher's miraculous abilities, a strong hope arose in his heart.
Qin Xu: "We have to give it a try."
"Teacher, then you should take the soul bone," Tang San said after a moment's hesitation.
Qin Xu shook his head and said seriously, "Little San, a gentleman is cautious even when alone. Even a teacher would feel greed when faced with a 100,000-year soul ring. If I faced soul bones every day, I would inevitably have some wicked thoughts. I don't want to test myself like that. Unlike you, you could never absorb your own mother's soul bone."
Tang San was stunned for a moment when he heard Qin Xu's words.
The saying "A virtuous person is cautious even when alone" is truly apt.
Moreover, even teachers are susceptible to temptations they cannot resist.
Seemingly sensing Qin Xu's thoughts, Qin Xu casually said, "Judging by actions, not intentions, no one is perfect. Teacher also has bad thoughts many times, but he just suppresses them temporarily."
Judge by actions, not intentions.
Tang San's spirits lifted, but not because of Qin Xu; rather, he vaguely remembered his past self.
He stole the Xuan Tian Bao Lu from the Tang Sect, giving himself the excuse that the sect had no way to advance and that he was obsessed with hidden weapons. This was undoubtedly deceiving his own heart, making excuses and justifications for himself.
The Tang Clan adopted him when he was six years old and raised him to be an outer disciple. However, he disregarded the sect rules and stole the Tang Clan's supreme treasure, the Record of the Supreme Martial Arts. He even made up many excuses for himself.
The facts are there, and they won't change in the slightest because of his excuses.
I can now live with a clear conscience because of the Tang Sect's timely intervention, which prevented the Xuan Tian Bao Lu from being passed on to outsiders.
But what if the Xuan Tian Bao Lu is leaked due to my own negligence?
I will become a sinner of the Tang Clan.
In addition, when interacting with others, I always find fault with them first.
Judging by actions, not intentions, my past actions actually contradict this statement.
Whenever he wanted to do something, he would subconsciously find a reason or excuse to convince himself. Over the past few years, he had been living by his teacher's side and doing whatever he wanted. This habit had gradually become rusty. Otherwise, he would not know what kind of person this habit would make him.
Tang San bowed respectfully and said sincerely, "Teacher, I have learned a lot."
Qin Xu was taken aback. He wasn't lecturing, but Tang San seemed to have really taken it to heart.
"Sometimes you can't be so absolute about mistresses. As long as you have a clear conscience when it comes to important matters, that's fine."
"Teacher, Xiao San understands."
Qin Ruins "..."
Over the next few days, Qin Xu planned not to return for the time being. Instead, he planned to follow a caravan to a nearby city to create the illusion that he had traveled there and attended an auction before returning.
During the process, he took out the Xuan Tian Bao Lu that Tang San had given him and studied it carefully. He found that the book was not thick, but the contents were very detailed.
He was immediately captivated by the practice and devoted himself entirely to it.
In just half an hour, he mastered the Xuan Tian Gong and grasped the mystery of its endless cycle of life.
In just one day, his understanding of the Mysterious Heaven Skill had reached a rather profound level.
Several of the Tang Clan's signature techniques have gained true form and meaning.
The Ghostly Shadows, the Jade Hand, and the Purple Demon Eyes—all these techniques for throwing hidden weapons possess a freehand and natural aesthetic.
He discovered that his comprehension seemed to be quite good, and he was making rapid progress in cultivating the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record," a technique that truly touched upon the extraordinary, and he could not feel any peace at all.
Previously, he had not discovered this characteristic. He only knew that he had practiced the Five Animal Fist for fourteen years without making any progress, and thought that his comprehension was just average.
But once he got his hands on the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, he realized something was wrong. Now, reading the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, combined with his past combat experience and insights gained from life and death, he was completely engrossed.
Qin Xu was thoroughly enjoying his comprehension of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu. He also learned Tang San's "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" and, in just one afternoon, grasped the essence of using the opponent's force against them and the three hearts technique.
In the wind and snow, there was no hammer light, but Qin Xu hammered away, each blow sending snowflakes dancing into the sky. The long-handled bloodwood hammer transformed into a whirlwind and lightning, its power quite astonishing.
Qin Xu even used a hammer to smash a very thick tree, violently breaking it to pieces.
A week later, Qin Xu confirmed that he was a genius. Perhaps, born into a world rich in martial arts, he could have become a master.
Because Tang San is too stupid and has extremely low comprehension. If Tang San were an ordinary person, according to the theory of relativity, he would definitely be a genius. Unless Tang San is a fool, but it is unlikely that Tang San is a fool.
Fortunately, with his own guidance and after purchasing dozens of pieces of whale glue and other herbs in Fengxia City, Tang San finally mastered martial arts and his physical strength increased dramatically!
Furthermore, his defense, speed, stamina, and explosive power all increased, making him the second martial artist in the Douluo Continent.
Thus, after Qin Xu returned to Notting City, he found that the bandits who had surrounded his house had disappeared without a trace. Just as he was relaxing, he discovered that there was an extra person in his house.
Bibi Dong!?

Qin Xu's long and narrow figure was not thin. He told Tang San not to return to Notting City in the next few days, but he was thinking about something.
I've been away from Nottingham for almost two weeks, and the city has changed so much.
Through Wan Sheng Ling Tian, Qin Xu received news that Tang Hao was critically injured and on the verge of death. He didn't know what had happened, but he had lost an arm and was also poisoned, greatly reducing his threat level.
After seeing that his son was still alive, he entrusted Tang San to Yu Xiaogang, and on Yu Xiaogang's advice, he temporarily left Wuhun City. Before leaving, he inexplicably broke off one of his legs.
With Tang Hao's endorsement, the relationship between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang became even stronger.
Jiang Xinhua was still not found in Qinxu.
Two weeks ago, Jiang Xinhua left Nottingham City, and he guessed that he might have gone to another city to enjoy himself.
With a long sigh, Qin Xu no longer hesitated and chose to confront Bibi Dong directly.
