AST 550 - Nirvana Rebirth! The formidable Tiger form at the Great Perfection Stage
Hellfire!
This was a powerful flame element attack. It's burning ability was extremely insane! If one ever came into contact with it, the only option left would be to cut off the part of their body which it touched. Of course, that only referred to the strongest level of the Hellfire. It was capable of burning everything.
But Qing Shui knew that with the Fire Bird's current strength, it most definitely won't be able to achieve this kind of power. But when it came to facing off against warriors or demonic beasts at the Martial King Grade, this 'Hellfire' would definitely be an insane technique.
But all of these weren't important. The Fire Bird had finally acquired an insanely strong skill. Prior to this, without any powerful techniques, the Fire Bird had always been his biggest shortcoming.
The current Fire Bird was definitely at the Martial King Grade. Other than Demonic Beasts at the Martial Saint Grade, it would be a nightmare for both peak Martial King Warriors and Demonic Beasts. For a moment, even Qing Shui felt agitated.
After checking out the Hellfire skill, Qing Shui's eyes moved on to the skill lower down.
Nirvana Rebirth!
It was the formidable skill of the legendary phoenix. Under certain circumstances, it would fall into the state of nirvana within a fire bath. When it was reborn, it's strength would be multiplied by many folds.
"So previously, it really was the Nirvana Rebirth……"
Qing Shui glanced towards the godly Fire Bird in the sky. It had become a few times bigger than before. When it opened up both of its wings, even though it wasn't really omnipotent, the godly might it emitted was still incomparably powerful.
At present, even more of its phoenix meridians should have awakened after the Nirvana Rebirth. Even though it's not obvious, it was already starting to have the elegance of a phoenix.
Minggg!
The reverberating whistle sounded really arrogant. It was the kind of chirp which would be acknowledged by all kinds of birds. After it flew around in circles a few times in the sky, it flew towards Qing Shui.
Qing Shui joyfully hopped towards it and dropped down onto its unusually wide back. At that moment, an indescribable feeling emerged from deep within him.
It was a feeling of confidence. Other than that, it was also because he had a feeling that he just got a really powerful helping hand.
It slowly descended to the ground. At this moment, the others from Qing Clan were already outside.
"Daddy!"
Luan Luan immediately threw herself at Qing Shui and attached herself to his chest. Frankly speaking, this time, Luan Luan's 'Bai Bai' also helped a lot. Without it, things might have turned out really ugly. Not only would they be unable to kill the old man from the Soulreaper Valley, the Fire Bird might even lose its life.
The others remained silent. Qing Yi, Qing Qing, and the girls, on the other hand, their eyes looked really teary. They were uncertain about whether they were feeling happy or worried for him.
"Brother Shui! Take a look at this. What do you think it is?" Qing Bei picked up a rock which was sparkling with a green translucent light. It was almost the size of a baby's fist.
It wasn't the physical appearance of the stone which attracted Qing Shui. What he was truly interested in was the spiritual energy it emitted. Just by this, Qing Shui could already confirm that this was some really good stuff.
He took over the stone and tried to feel it. After not discovering much, he released his Spiritual Sense and took a peek into the green stone.
"Dark Green Divine Stone!"
It actually has a name?
This was a rule which Qing Shui discovered himself. For the objects across the World of the Nine Continents, Qing Shui's spiritual sense would be able to detect their names if they were really outstanding objects.
For example, the Violet Gold Divine Shield!
Qing Shui continued reading. Dark Green Divine Stone, a mysterious stone from the ancient era. Usage: Undo certain special seals.
State of the Dark Green Divine Stone: Damaged!
Qing Shui chuckled and said: "This is a Dark Green Divine Stone. It can be used to undo seals!"
"Oh! And I thought it's some good stuff. It does look quite beautiful from the outside. Brother Shui, why don't you forge a bracelet with it for me?" Qing Bei looked at Qing Shui and smiled.
"This thing isn't really that suitable for it. Don't worry, I'll help you forge a bracelet later with other materials. In fact, haven't I made more than five bracelets for you? What do you need so many of them for?" Qing Shui was puzzled as he placed the Dark Green Divine Stone into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
"I want bracelets of every colour so that I will be able to rotate and take turns wearing different ones!" Qing Bei smiled joyfully.
Qing Shui was speechless. This little brat truly saw him as a man with lots of free time. He grumpily extended his hand and rubbed Qing Bei's head violently.: "No wonder your cultivation level improves so slowly! Otherwise, you would have been able to advance into Xiantian Realm a year earlier! Are you already starting to feel arrogant just because you made it into Xiantian!"
"No, I'm not!" Qing Bei pouted.
The gang continued on with their journey. The enormous Fire Bird in the sky was extremely attractive. Qing Shui had really high expectations for it. Since a Fire Bird could already be like this, what kind of godly might would a phoenix possess?
As for the previous old man, he had already been completely destroyed by Qing Shui. There wasn't anyone around him when he killed the old man. Naturally, most people would try to escape if they ran into a murder to avoid getting themselves associated with it.
"Brother Shui! Is the Fire Bird even stronger now? Can you let me sit on it and see?" said Qing Bei. It's very rare to see Qing Bei acting this freely.
"Yeah, it has made another breakthrough and has become a lot stronger now." replied Qing Shui. After that, he summoned the Fire Bird.
In the end, Qing Yi, Qing Bei, Shi Qingzhuang, Mingyue Gelou, Little Yu Chang and Luan Luan all climbed onto the back of the Fire Bird. Meanwhile, 'Bai Bai' also flew beside the Fire Bird.
Yiye Jiange's 'Snow White Crane' was also flying in the air.
After the Fire Bird broke through and evolved, it became the biggest flying beast among the three. It has gotten two to three times bigger than before. And when it flapped both of its wings, it looked like a champion.
When night time arrived, they had barely made it out of Kaiyang Country only to find themselves at the edge of a really thick forest. Their left-hand side was a mountain whereas their right-hand side was an enormous surging river.
There were mountains, waters, and forests. Furthermore, the spiritual energy here was also considerably abundant. Suddenly, Qing Shui felt like he remembered something, but he was unsure about what exactly it was.
Qing Shui informed the others to set up camp and rest. In any case, they were already quite exhausted. Qing Shui also wanted to find out clearly what the thing which he remembered earlier was.
There were a lot of people here. The place was incomparably noisy and the air was filled with the sounds of Luan Luan and Yu Chang playing, talking and laughing. The three generations of Qing Clan, on the other hand, were getting ready to head into the forest to hunt wild animals for dinner.
Qing Shui released his spiritual sense and slowly walked towards the mountain following a path. The reason that Qing Shui followed this path was because he could feel the spiritual energy getting more and more abundant as he climbed up the mountain.
There were mountains, waters and forests.
Tiger!
Tiger's Mount, Tiger's Descend.
Tiger Laceration!
Qing Shui used the Tiger Laceration.
Pa-pa-pa!
A clear and loud explosive noise rang in the air. It seemed like this blow was much stronger than normal. However, Qing Shui didn't stop just because of this. His expression also remained the same.
He moved forward by a step and once again used the Tiger Laceration.
Qing Shui's eyes turned bright!
Tiger's Mount!
He once again stepped out and moved forward.
He continued to head deeper into the mountains.
The Tiger's Roar started revolving fiercely. The Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique immediately formed a cycle inside his body in the form of the essence of the Tiger's Roar.
Roar!
The rumbling noises of the Tiger's Roar rang out one after another.
"Daddy is practicing Tiger Form!" Luan Luan explained seriously as she looked at Qing Shui who was in the distance.
A lot of people from Qing Clan also stopped to look at Qing Shui. Almost everyone in Qing Clan cultivated the Tiger Form. At the moment, the one who was the most engrossed in watching Qing Shui cultivate the Tiger Form was Mingyue Gelou.
She almost didn't blink her eyes as she stared at Qing Shui's body. It's as if she was trying to imprint Qing Shui's actions into her mind.
"He's too hardworking… He never forgets to cultivate!"
This was the thoughts of the people in Qing Clan. Even Qing Bei who was always active also quietly observed Qing Shui. She was well aware that Qing Shui's achievements up to these days weren't just by mere luck. It was something that he got from sacrificing a lot of things.
Qing You looked at Qing Shui. He too stopped hunting for wild animals. He just stood there blankly and thought to himself that if he could be like Qing Shui and have so many beautiful women around him, what's the point in cultivating so hard? He could have just been a free man in Hundred Miles City.
……
Qing Shui's aura was still gradually increasing. Each and every step he took were incomparably firm and steady. On the mountain path, Qing Shui's movements were like a heavy and slow turtle. But it looked really smooth.
Tiger Lunge!
Tiger Raise!
……
Qing Shui's movement became faster and faster. The skills which he used were all Tiger Form's skills. He was like a butterfly diving back and forth atop the mountain path.
A halo even began to emerge from his body.
Slowly, from the point of view of the members from Qing Clan, Qing Shui's body looked as if it turned into a fierce tiger. The might of the tiger affected his surroundings. It even generated a bit of wind in the air.
Tiger's Wind!
Slowly, Qing Shui entered the State of No Conscious. He closed his eyes and stopped thinking about other things. Ironically, at the same moment, he felt as if he could see everything around him.
As it turned out, when one reached a certain point of cultivation, it wasn't only their eyes which could see things. They could do the same even with both their spiritual sense and their heart. Once again, his spiritual sense had improved significantly.
Ripping Tiger Claw!
Qing Shui continuously threw out punches one after another. It felt like even the air itself was being torn apart. Slowly, a faint grey-colored line appeared.
Unknowingly, Qing Shui had already reached the mountain's peak.
Tiger's Mount!
Suddenly, the strength which Qing Shui had been accumulating all got released at once. It was released in a very natural way. For a moment, the heaven thrusting aura vigorously spread out into the surroundings.
Roar!
A heaven shaking tiger's roar rang out. It sounded as explosive as thunder. Qing Shui performed the Tiger Laceration. Soon after, a thread of clear shadow appeared in the air.
Qing Shui stopped there and looked at his hand.
After that, he once again threw out another punch.
The gray hand shadow continued to appear. No explosive noises were generated. He only felt an odd aura which felt like it could destroy everything.
The tiger form had actually reached the Great Perfection Stage! Merely an ordinary Tiger Laceration was already able to demonstrate a strength comparable to that of a Martial Saint Warrior. Even though it's still not as good compared to the Martial Saint warriors from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord, it was still a blow which could only be performed by a Martial Saint warrior.
"What's the current state of Tiger Form?" wondered Qing Shui as he smiled.
This wasn't actually an important question, but Qing Shui still felt really happy. Never would he have thought that the Tiger Form would be able to display such a dramatic effect. As for the others, it reached the state of being One with Heaven. But without the strength of a Martial Saint, it still wouldn't be as effective.
"I'll consider it to have reached the Great Perfection Stage!"
After thinking for a while, Qing Shui settled down by concluding it was at the Great Perfection Stage. Though it was one of the most common stage, it was a term which people could understand very quickly.
Qing Shui stood atop of the mountain as he looked at the mountains around him. After that, he moved his sight to the thick forests and the surging rivers. It was a really beautiful and precious land. It was also a place that's really suitable for tigers to grow in. Who would have thought that he would be able to surpass the limit of the tiger form and reach a new level?
He looked up to the sky. Unknowingly, approximately an hour and a half had passed. Soon, he moved his sight to the members in Qing Clan and felt an instant joy.
551 [Returning to Heavenly Palace, Violet Gold Divine Shield unsealed?]
Qing Shui's next course of action was to watch the many Qing Clan members practice. After all, when they watched Qing Shui exhibit the Tiger Form, a portion of them gained some inspiration.
It was best for them to try and understand it while it is was still fresh in their minds, thus everyone was busy practicing, some of them were even repeating the same move over and over again.
Mingyue Gelou stood there with her eyes closed, her face was peaceful. Qing Shui happened to see her.
Enlightenment?
Qing Shui unhurriedly and quietly stopped everyone, then he sat down noiselessly. No one was allowed to make any sounds.
Qing Shui also felt especially excited, he had not had entered the state of enlightenment for a long time. This kind of instant enlightenment was something every cultivator wished for.
Qing Shui looked at Mingyue Gelou's holy and dignified complexion and his heart felt gratified. This was a woman that had a bitter life, Qing Shui hoped that she could become happy, hoped that she would grow strong.
Her meridians were naturally cleared from birth, and she was a cultivating genius. It's a pity that she started a little late, but she finally had a chance after meeting him, now she was having her first enlightenment.
Even during her breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm, she did not have a moment of enlightenment. This was her opportunity to make great leaps, only, he did not know how long would her enlightenment would last for.
Being able to be in the enlightened state for 15 minutes could be considered pretty good, most people could only last a few breaths of time, and many of them weren't even sure if they were in a state of enlightenment or merely in a daze. If there was a great change in strength, it was enlightenment, if there was no change, then they were in a daze……
Very soon, an hour went by!
Mingyue Gelou's complexion seemed even holier and more dignified, she even had a divine look. Qing Shui happily looked at Mingyue Gelou, hoping that she would stay in that state for as long as possible.
2 hours!
Mingyue Gelou's long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her bright eyes. Her atmosphere had a subtle change to it.
In an instant, a vigor slow arose!
"Roar!"
It was a huge roar released by the Tiger's Roar, it was different from Qing Shui's heaven-shaking Tiger's Roar. The roar released by Mingyu Gelou lacked a heavy shock, but instead, had a strong penetrative force.
After that, Mingyue Gelou performed a Ripping Tiger Claw!
"Si!"
A faint gray line about the thickness of a finger appeared, at the same time, Mingyue Gelou's whole body radiated a white light!
She broke through!
Qing Shui smiled at the graceful woman who was still bathed in light, her speed was not inferior to his compared to when he first broke through to a martial king. She was now also a Martial King.
In just a few years, Mingyue Gelou transformed from a weak girl, who did not know martial arts, to the current Martial King cultivator she was now.
The Qing Clan, especially Qing You and his group, including Qing Bei, were happy but also suffered a deep blow to their confidence.
Originally, Qing Bei breaking through to Xiantian already caused the rest to suffer a blow. Qing Bei was a little happy then, but now, she felt embarrassed. When she thought about it, the women around Qing Shui all seemed to be strong beyond compare. Their ages weren't that great either, even the youngest one was just a few years older than her.
The glow slowly faded away and Mingyue Gelou happily looked around. She then saw the surrounding people were quietly looking at her, and she knew that everyone was afraid of interrupting her enlightenment, and thus had remained quiet. She embarrassedly and happily thanked everyone!
"Sister-in-law, we are all of one family, there is no need to be courteous." Qing You laughed mischievously.
"Exactly!" Qing Hu chimed in.
……
After a small interlude, everyone stopped everyone they were doing and frantically practiced the Tiger's Form. As for Qing Shui, he explained why this was a suitable place to practice the Tiger's Form.
Qing Shui, Mingyue Gelou, Qing Yi, and the other girls prepared some barbecued meat and meat soup. They also found some wild vegetables and made some vegetable dishes. Qing Shui's culinary arts and use of spices were incomparably great.
Everyone ate happily, but Qing Shui was the happiest. After the Fire Bird broke through, it was not inferior to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, after all, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant could not fly. Any flying beast before the Martial Saint Realm would not be able to compare to it.
With Mingyue Gelou's breakthrough to the Martial King Ream, there was another strong cultivator in the Qing Clan. Most importantly, Qing Shui believed that with Mingyue Gelou's aptitude, after several years, she could become incomparably strong. This was because now that she was in the Martial King Realm. Qing Shui had a few pills that she could use, had she used them earlier, it would have been a waste.
Most importantly, there was still Luan Luan, the girl with the Heart of Seven Orifices. Qing Shui's expectations for her were very high, especially after she tamed the Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear. It had eaten the Beast Pil, causing its strength to increase explosively, it was now a low-leveled Peak Martial King. The strength of the lowest Peak Martial King would be at least two countries.
The Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear may only have the strength of
two countries but its defense was perversely strong. It was a good thing that the strongest attacks of the Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear used fire and not its physical body. However, in the later stages, its physical body would also become strong, this was the characteristics of demonic beasts.
When it was night, Qing Shui once again went into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal!
He practiced the Tiger's Form, the movements of his arms seemed to be particularly smooth, and each strike contained an explosive strength. Qing Shui was not sure if he had touched the boundaries of the Martial Saint Realm yet.
Qing Shui was sure that his Tiger's Form had increased in realm because it had an additional 100 thousand Jin of strength. This was the reason why Qing Shui was so sure, only when the realm increased would there be such a phenomena.
100 thousand Jin of strength was not worth mentioning to Qing Shui but it was better than nothing. Once must know that the price of a pill that could raise one's strength by 100 thousand Jin would be astronomical in the World of the Nine Continents.
Earlier, Mingyue Gelou had discovered the same thing. Although to Qing Shui, this increase of 100 thousand Jin of strength was nothing, to Mingyue Gelou, it made a huge difference. It had increased her strength as an early Martial King significantly.
Qing Shui only stopped after he practiced the Tiger's Form for an hour!
Overall, Qing Shui felt quite satisfied, after all, he was able to strike out with the force of a Martial Saint. Suddenly, he thought of the Dark Green Divine Stone.
Taking out the Violet Gold Divine Shield, Qing Shui felt happy in his heart. A stone that could release seals, he wondered how many layers of seals it could remove from the Violet Gold Divine Shield.
Qing Shui noticed previously that the Dark Green Divine Stone had the word 'damaged', thus Qing Shui felt that it was difficult to completely unseal the seal of the Violet Gold Divine Shield with it.
The method of undoing the seal was quite simple, smelt the Dark Green Divine Stone then mix it into the Violet Gold Divine Shield. This did not seem difficult, after all, it was rare to find such a miraculous stone.
After 30 minutes, the Violet Gold Divine Shield radiated a bright violet light, it looked even more resplendent that before, sparkling with a translucent noble air that could cause people to gasp in surprise.
Violet Gold Divine Shield: An ancient lost item of the World of the Nine Continents, has mystical effects!
Effects: the person using the Violet Gold Divine Shield will have a 100 percent increase in physical strength!
Inherent technique: Divine Armor, Can defend against 50% of the opponent's damage for one hour!
Passive skill: Divine Bash, when using the Violet Gold Divine Shield to bash, there will be an addition 20 percent of the body's strength added to the attack.
Usage requirement: the body's strength has to reach the strength of one country.
Status: Sealed!
When Qing Shui saw this, he was excited, the attacking power increased by a fold, and when using the shield to attack, it would increase the attacking power by 20 percent.
Furthermore, the speed reducing effect was gone. Now, this Violet Gold Divine Shield could finally be considered a divine level item. Holding the Violet Gold Divine Shield, Qing Shui felt as if his speed had increased significantly.
After all, it previously decreased 30 percent of his speed, when that restraint was gone, the feeling was different. If Feng Shamo had the current Violet Gold Divine Shield with him, Qing Shui would have died already.
"Eh? It is still sealed?"
Qing Shui looked at the status behind and saw that is was still sealed. The attribute of reducing speed is already removed, it even grew a lot stronger, but why is it still sealed?"
Thinking for another 15 minutes, Qing Shui felt that this was actually a good thing. It did not matter if he could unseal it right noow or not.. As long as he unsealed it in the future, this Violet Gold Divine Shield would be even stronger.
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant and Fire Bird were both outside, under such desolated conditions, Qing Shui could peacefully cultivate in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
……
The second day, during morning practice, he discovered that the three generations of the Qing Clan had all gotten up even earlier than him. Everyone was bitterly training the Tiger's Form. There was an idiom that stated that if the time was right, and the geographical and social conditions were favorable, it meant a fortuitous opportunity. This piece of land had favorable geographical conditions for training the Tiger's Form. It was even better for it than the Heavenly Palace with its dense Spiritual Qi.
However, Qing Shui did not immediately practice the Tiger's Form, instead, he practiced the Taichi Fist. This was a habit that was ingrained deep into his bones, regardless of anything, he would not lose this habit.
After finishing the Taichi Fist, he gave the rest some pointers and explained some of the things that they needed to pay attention to and some tricks. They had gained a lot, even Mingyue Gelou was seriously listening.
"Gelou, don't just listen, you are now in the same realm as me, you can share some of your experiences with them." Qing Shui laughed boisterously.
"Eh? I just watched you practiced then I unknowingly broke through." Mingyue Gelou's face went red.
This favorable geographical location was not a result of Spiritual Qi, but allowed people to cultivate the Tiger's Form faster. It was because this was the best environment for tigers to live in, regardless of encouraging the procreation of tigers or their longevity, it was the best.
Three months later!
Qing Shui and his group arrived at the Continent's Capital, and Qing Shui directly brought them up the Heavenly Palace's mountain.
He brought the group of Qing Clan members to Cang Wuya and introduced them. After all, they were his family, as for Cang Wuya, he had talked about him to many of the Qing Clan.
Cang Wuya spoke warmly with everyone, Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li also came out and happily greeted all of them. They had not seen each other for half a year and sorely missed each other.
"Old master, Qing Yi thanks you for caring for Qing Shui." Qing Yi bowed to Cang Wuya in gratitude.
Qing Yi only knew that Cang Wuya saved Qing Shui's life, just based on that, it was sufficient.
"Dear child, we are all of one family, don't be so courteous, come inside the house." Cang Wuya was exceptionally happy.
The size of Cang Wuya's living room was just nice, despite the large number of people, they were not cramped and did not have to squeeze into each other.
"Old master, nothing happened to the Heavenly Palace during this period of time right?" Qing Shui could tell from Cang Wuya's expression that there were no unexpected incidents.
"No, everything went smoothly, it is just that the powers withinthe Starday Hall has changed. The Feng Clan was no longer suitable, and now the Wu Clan is holding the reins. Because you left, we could not get this approved." Cang Wuya laughed loudly.
"No harm done, actually it does not matter who are the Palace Masters of each Hall. If he could rise to that position, it is the results of his abilities. However, in regards to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Old Ancestor had instructed me not to change him.
Finally, Qing Shui arranged for the Qing Clan to stay in a three-storied pavilions 100 meters beyond Cang Wuya's place. This way, there would be someone to take care of them.
"Mother, temporarily stay here for a period of time first. When I've found a house and shop in the Continent's Capital then we will go over there." Qing Shui said after making the arrangements for the Qing Clan's residence.
"En, no problems, Qing Shui, go deal with your matters first, there is no rush."
"Do you all want to join the Heavenly Palace?" Qing Shui smiled and looked at Qing You, Qing Bei, and the others.
"Brother Qing Shui, I will leave together with grandfather, wait till I break into the Xiantian Realm then I will join the Heavenly Palace." Qing You thought seriously before replying.
Qing You's words shocked Qing Shui, this guy kept making a fuss about entering the Heavenly Palace, then finding a Xiantian Realm wife. Now, he actually made this decision, it seems that he still had quite a strong ego, for him to make such a big decision.
In the end, those who had not reached the Xiantian Realm said that they would not join the Heavenly Palace. They said they could not break the rules of the Heavenly Palace, when they said that, Qing Shui felt very happy.
In the end, the only ones who joined the Heavenly Palace were Qing Bei and Luan Luan!
It was settled. When Qing Shui saw the sky, he went towards the back mountain!
Since he left, it had almost beef half a year, Qing Shui did not know how Elder Ge was doing, thus he went to check. Qing Shui did not want this strong old man to descend into negativity.
From a distance, he saw Elder Ge practicing his sword under the summer sun. The last time he came, it had just become spring, now summer was almost over.
Hearing footsteps, Elder Ge turned his head and saw that it was Qing Shui. He stopped and smiled at Qing Shui!
"How have you been recently Elder Ge?"
"Good, thank you, did you just get back?"
"I've been back for half a day, how is your body feeling now?" Qing Shui looking at Elder Ge, who had reached the early Martial King Realm.
"Your medicine and acupuncture skills are very impressive. In this half year, especially at the start, my strength improved crazily, but after awhile, it slowed down." Elder Ge had a smile radiating with happiness as he said that.
"It has been half a year, that is normal. It is about time for acupuncture again, let's begin now!" Qing Shui had calculated the time back then, the next acupuncture session could not be in more than half a year later, now about half a year had passed.
This time, the acupuncture points required an obvious increase in strength. About 80 percent of the acupoints on Elder Ge's body had been pricked before, although this process was smooth, it was still a little dangerous.
Four Hours!
Just acupuncture alone used four hours, almost half the day had already went by. Now, Qing Shui's acupuncture technique had some strengthening effect on the foundation of human bones and also a marrow cleansing effect.
Just this acupuncture session caused Elder Ge's strength to rise from Grade One Martial King to Grade Three Martial King. Of course, if Qing Shui used the acupuncture techniques on him again, he would still be a Grade Three Martial King. This kind of acupuncture was like eating medicine, after the first one, the second one would not be effective. Even if you increased the dosage, there would not be any effects, it might even cause his body to be not able to withstand it.
Acupuncture opens up one's potential to a certain extent, this was one of the effects of acupuncture that could not be overlooked!
AST 550 - Nirvana Rebirth! The formidable Tiger form at the Great Perfection Stage
Hellfire!
This was a powerful flame element attack. It's burning ability was extremely insane! If one ever came into contact with it, the only option left would be to cut off the part of their body which it touched. Of course, that only referred to the strongest level of the Hellfire. It was capable of burning everything.
But Qing Shui knew that with the Fire Bird's current strength, it most definitely won't be able to achieve this kind of power. But when it came to facing off against warriors or demonic beasts at the Martial King Grade, this 'Hellfire' would definitely be an insane technique.
But all of these weren't important. The Fire Bird had finally acquired an insanely strong skill. Prior to this, without any powerful techniques, the Fire Bird had always been his biggest shortcoming.
The current Fire Bird was definitely at the Martial King Grade. Other than Demonic Beasts at the Martial Saint Grade, it would be a nightmare for both peak Martial King Warriors and Demonic Beasts. For a moment, even Qing Shui felt agitated.
After checking out the Hellfire skill, Qing Shui's eyes moved on to the skill lower down.
Nirvana Rebirth!
It was the formidable skill of the legendary phoenix. Under certain circumstances, it would fall into the state of nirvana within a fire bath. When it was reborn, it's strength would be multiplied by many folds.
"So previously, it really was the Nirvana Rebirth……"
Qing Shui glanced towards the godly Fire Bird in the sky. It had become a few times bigger than before. When it opened up both of its wings, even though it wasn't really omnipotent, the godly might it emitted was still incomparably powerful.
At present, even more of its phoenix meridians should have awakened after the Nirvana Rebirth. Even though it's not obvious, it was already starting to have the elegance of a phoenix.
Minggg!
The reverberating whistle sounded really arrogant. It was the kind of chirp which would be acknowledged by all kinds of birds. After it flew around in circles a few times in the sky, it flew towards Qing Shui.
Qing Shui joyfully hopped towards it and dropped down onto its unusually wide back. At that moment, an indescribable feeling emerged from deep within him.
It was a feeling of confidence. Other than that, it was also because he had a feeling that he just got a really powerful helping hand.
It slowly descended to the ground. At this moment, the others from Qing Clan were already outside.
"Daddy!"
Luan Luan immediately threw herself at Qing Shui and attached herself to his chest. Frankly speaking, this time, Luan Luan's 'Bai Bai' also helped a lot. Without it, things might have turned out really ugly. Not only would they be unable to kill the old man from the Soulreaper Valley, the Fire Bird might even lose its life.
The others remained silent. Qing Yi, Qing Qing, and the girls, on the other hand, their eyes looked really teary. They were uncertain about whether they were feeling happy or worried for him.
"Brother Shui! Take a look at this. What do you think it is?" Qing Bei picked up a rock which was sparkling with a green translucent light. It was almost the size of a baby's fist.
It wasn't the physical appearance of the stone which attracted Qing Shui. What he was truly interested in was the spiritual energy it emitted. Just by this, Qing Shui could already confirm that this was some really good stuff.
He took over the stone and tried to feel it. After not discovering much, he released his Spiritual Sense and took a peek into the green stone.
"Dark Green Divine Stone!"
It actually has a name?
This was a rule which Qing Shui discovered himself. For the objects across the World of the Nine Continents, Qing Shui's spiritual sense would be able to detect their names if they were really outstanding objects.
For example, the Violet Gold Divine Shield!
Qing Shui continued reading. Dark Green Divine Stone, a mysterious stone from the ancient era. Usage: Undo certain special seals.
State of the Dark Green Divine Stone: Damaged!
Qing Shui chuckled and said: "This is a Dark Green Divine Stone. It can be used to undo seals!"
"Oh! And I thought it's some good stuff. It does look quite beautiful from the outside. Brother Shui, why don't you forge a bracelet with it for me?" Qing Bei looked at Qing Shui and smiled.
"This thing isn't really that suitable for it. Don't worry, I'll help you forge a bracelet later with other materials. In fact, haven't I made more than five bracelets for you? What do you need so many of them for?" Qing Shui was puzzled as he placed the Dark Green Divine Stone into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
"I want bracelets of every colour so that I will be able to rotate and take turns wearing different ones!" Qing Bei smiled joyfully.
Qing Shui was speechless. This little brat truly saw him as a man with lots of free time. He grumpily extended his hand and rubbed Qing Bei's head violently.: "No wonder your cultivation level improves so slowly! Otherwise, you would have been able to advance into Xiantian Realm a year earlier! Are you already starting to feel arrogant just because you made it into Xiantian!"
"No, I'm not!" Qing Bei pouted.
The gang continued on with their journey. The enormous Fire Bird in the sky was extremely attractive. Qing Shui had really high expectations for it. Since a Fire Bird could already be like this, what kind of godly might would a phoenix possess?
As for the previous old man, he had already been completely destroyed by Qing Shui. There wasn't anyone around him when he killed the old man. Naturally, most people would try to escape if they ran into a murder to avoid getting themselves associated with it.
"Brother Shui! Is the Fire Bird even stronger now? Can you let me sit on it and see?" said Qing Bei. It's very rare to see Qing Bei acting this freely.
"Yeah, it has made another breakthrough and has become a lot stronger now." replied Qing Shui. After that, he summoned the Fire Bird.
In the end, Qing Yi, Qing Bei, Shi Qingzhuang, Mingyue Gelou, Little Yu Chang and Luan Luan all climbed onto the back of the Fire Bird. Meanwhile, 'Bai Bai' also flew beside the Fire Bird.
Yiye Jiange's 'Snow White Crane' was also flying in the air.
After the Fire Bird broke through and evolved, it became the biggest flying beast among the three. It has gotten two to three times bigger than before. And when it flapped both of its wings, it looked like a champion.
When night time arrived, they had barely made it out of Kaiyang Country only to find themselves at the edge of a really thick forest. Their left-hand side was a mountain whereas their right-hand side was an enormous surging river.
There were mountains, waters, and forests. Furthermore, the spiritual energy here was also considerably abundant. Suddenly, Qing Shui felt like he remembered something, but he was unsure about what exactly it was.
Qing Shui informed the others to set up camp and rest. In any case, they were already quite exhausted. Qing Shui also wanted to find out clearly what the thing which he remembered earlier was.
There were a lot of people here. The place was incomparably noisy and the air was filled with the sounds of Luan Luan and Yu Chang playing, talking and laughing. The three generations of Qing Clan, on the other hand, were getting ready to head into the forest to hunt wild animals for dinner.
Qing Shui released his spiritual sense and slowly walked towards the mountain following a path. The reason that Qing Shui followed this path was because he could feel the spiritual energy getting more and more abundant as he climbed up the mountain.
There were mountains, waters and forests.
Tiger!
Tiger's Mount, Tiger's Descend.
Tiger Laceration!
Qing Shui used the Tiger Laceration.
Pa-pa-pa!
A clear and loud explosive noise rang in the air. It seemed like this blow was much stronger than normal. However, Qing Shui didn't stop just because of this. His expression also remained the same.
He moved forward by a step and once again used the Tiger Laceration.
Qing Shui's eyes turned bright!
Tiger's Mount!
He once again stepped out and moved forward.
He continued to head deeper into the mountains.
The Tiger's Roar started revolving fiercely. The Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique immediately formed a cycle inside his body in the form of the essence of the Tiger's Roar.
Roar!
The rumbling noises of the Tiger's Roar rang out one after another.
"Daddy is practicing Tiger Form!" Luan Luan explained seriously as she looked at Qing Shui who was in the distance.
A lot of people from Qing Clan also stopped to look at Qing Shui. Almost everyone in Qing Clan cultivated the Tiger Form. At the moment, the one who was the most engrossed in watching Qing Shui cultivate the Tiger Form was Mingyue Gelou.
She almost didn't blink her eyes as she stared at Qing Shui's body. It's as if she was trying to imprint Qing Shui's actions into her mind.
"He's too hardworking… He never forgets to cultivate!"
This was the thoughts of the people in Qing Clan. Even Qing Bei who was always active also quietly observed Qing Shui. She was well aware that Qing Shui's achievements up to these days weren't just by mere luck. It was something that he got from sacrificing a lot of things.
Qing You looked at Qing Shui. He too stopped hunting for wild animals. He just stood there blankly and thought to himself that if he could be like Qing Shui and have so many beautiful women around him, what's the point in cultivating so hard? He could have just been a free man in Hundred Miles City.
……
Qing Shui's aura was still gradually increasing. Each and every step he took were incomparably firm and steady. On the mountain path, Qing Shui's movements were like a heavy and slow turtle. But it looked really smooth.
Tiger Lunge!
Tiger Raise!
……
Qing Shui's movement became faster and faster. The skills which he used were all Tiger Form's skills. He was like a butterfly diving back and forth atop the mountain path.
A halo even began to emerge from his body.
Slowly, from the point of view of the members from Qing Clan, Qing Shui's body looked as if it turned into a fierce tiger. The might of the tiger affected his surroundings. It even generated a bit of wind in the air.
Tiger's Wind!
Slowly, Qing Shui entered the State of No Conscious. He closed his eyes and stopped thinking about other things. Ironically, at the same moment, he felt as if he could see everything around him.
As it turned out, when one reached a certain point of cultivation, it wasn't only their eyes which could see things. They could do the same even with both their spiritual sense and their heart. Once again, his spiritual sense had improved significantly.
Ripping Tiger Claw!
Qing Shui continuously threw out punches one after another. It felt like even the air itself was being torn apart. Slowly, a faint grey-colored line appeared.
Unknowingly, Qing Shui had already reached the mountain's peak.
Tiger's Mount!
Suddenly, the strength which Qing Shui had been accumulating all got released at once. It was released in a very natural way. For a moment, the heaven thrusting aura vigorously spread out into the surroundings.
Roar!
A heaven shaking tiger's roar rang out. It sounded as explosive as thunder. Qing Shui performed the Tiger Laceration. Soon after, a thread of clear shadow appeared in the air.
Qing Shui stopped there and looked at his hand.
After that, he once again threw out another punch.
The gray hand shadow continued to appear. No explosive noises were generated. He only felt an odd aura which felt like it could destroy everything.
The tiger form had actually reached the Great Perfection Stage! Merely an ordinary Tiger Laceration was already able to demonstrate a strength comparable to that of a Martial Saint Warrior. Even though it's still not as good compared to the Martial Saint warriors from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord, it was still a blow which could only be performed by a Martial Saint warrior.
"What's the current state of Tiger Form?" wondered Qing Shui as he smiled.
This wasn't actually an important question, but Qing Shui still felt really happy. Never would he have thought that the Tiger Form would be able to display such a dramatic effect. As for the others, it reached the state of being One with Heaven. But without the strength of a Martial Saint, it still wouldn't be as effective.
"I'll consider it to have reached the Great Perfection Stage!"
After thinking for a while, Qing Shui settled down by concluding it was at the Great Perfection Stage. Though it was one of the most common stage, it was a term which people could understand very quickly.
Qing Shui stood atop of the mountain as he looked at the mountains around him. After that, he moved his sight to the thick forests and the surging rivers. It was a really beautiful and precious land. It was also a place that's really suitable for tigers to grow in. Who would have thought that he would be able to surpass the limit of the tiger form and reach a new level?
He looked up to the sky. Unknowingly, approximately an hour and a half had passed. Soon, he moved his sight to the members in Qing Clan and felt an instant joy.
551 [Returning to Heavenly Palace, Violet Gold Divine Shield unsealed?]
Qing Shui's next course of action was to watch the many Qing Clan members practice. After all, when they watched Qing Shui exhibit the Tiger Form, a portion of them gained some inspiration.
It was best for them to try and understand it while it is was still fresh in their minds, thus everyone was busy practicing, some of them were even repeating the same move over and over again.
Mingyue Gelou stood there with her eyes closed, her face was peaceful. Qing Shui happened to see her.
Enlightenment?
Qing Shui unhurriedly and quietly stopped everyone, then he sat down noiselessly. No one was allowed to make any sounds.
Qing Shui also felt especially excited, he had not had entered the state of enlightenment for a long time. This kind of instant enlightenment was something every cultivator wished for.
Qing Shui looked at Mingyue Gelou's holy and dignified complexion and his heart felt gratified. This was a woman that had a bitter life, Qing Shui hoped that she could become happy, hoped that she would grow strong.
Her meridians were naturally cleared from birth, and she was a cultivating genius. It's a pity that she started a little late, but she finally had a chance after meeting him, now she was having her first enlightenment.
Even during her breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm, she did not have a moment of enlightenment. This was her opportunity to make great leaps, only, he did not know how long would her enlightenment would last for.
Being able to be in the enlightened state for 15 minutes could be considered pretty good, most people could only last a few breaths of time, and many of them weren't even sure if they were in a state of enlightenment or merely in a daze. If there was a great change in strength, it was enlightenment, if there was no change, then they were in a daze……
Very soon, an hour went by!
Mingyue Gelou's complexion seemed even holier and more dignified, she even had a divine look. Qing Shui happily looked at Mingyue Gelou, hoping that she would stay in that state for as long as possible.
2 hours!
Mingyue Gelou's long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her bright eyes. Her atmosphere had a subtle change to it.
In an instant, a vigor slow arose!
"Roar!"
It was a huge roar released by the Tiger's Roar, it was different from Qing Shui's heaven-shaking Tiger's Roar. The roar released by Mingyu Gelou lacked a heavy shock, but instead, had a strong penetrative force.
After that, Mingyue Gelou performed a Ripping Tiger Claw!
"Si!"
A faint gray line about the thickness of a finger appeared, at the same time, Mingyue Gelou's whole body radiated a white light!
She broke through!
Qing Shui smiled at the graceful woman who was still bathed in light, her speed was not inferior to his compared to when he first broke through to a martial king. She was now also a Martial King.
In just a few years, Mingyue Gelou transformed from a weak girl, who did not know martial arts, to the current Martial King cultivator she was now.
The Qing Clan, especially Qing You and his group, including Qing Bei, were happy but also suffered a deep blow to their confidence.
Originally, Qing Bei breaking through to Xiantian already caused the rest to suffer a blow. Qing Bei was a little happy then, but now, she felt embarrassed. When she thought about it, the women around Qing Shui all seemed to be strong beyond compare. Their ages weren't that great either, even the youngest one was just a few years older than her.
The glow slowly faded away and Mingyue Gelou happily looked around. She then saw the surrounding people were quietly looking at her, and she knew that everyone was afraid of interrupting her enlightenment, and thus had remained quiet. She embarrassedly and happily thanked everyone!
"Sister-in-law, we are all of one family, there is no need to be courteous." Qing You laughed mischievously.
"Exactly!" Qing Hu chimed in.
……
After a small interlude, everyone stopped everyone they were doing and frantically practiced the Tiger's Form. As for Qing Shui, he explained why this was a suitable place to practice the Tiger's Form.
Qing Shui, Mingyue Gelou, Qing Yi, and the other girls prepared some barbecued meat and meat soup. They also found some wild vegetables and made some vegetable dishes. Qing Shui's culinary arts and use of spices were incomparably great.
Everyone ate happily, but Qing Shui was the happiest. After the Fire Bird broke through, it was not inferior to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, after all, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant could not fly. Any flying beast before the Martial Saint Realm would not be able to compare to it.
With Mingyue Gelou's breakthrough to the Martial King Ream, there was another strong cultivator in the Qing Clan. Most importantly, Qing Shui believed that with Mingyue Gelou's aptitude, after several years, she could become incomparably strong. This was because now that she was in the Martial King Realm. Qing Shui had a few pills that she could use, had she used them earlier, it would have been a waste.
Most importantly, there was still Luan Luan, the girl with the Heart of Seven Orifices. Qing Shui's expectations for her were very high, especially after she tamed the Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear. It had eaten the Beast Pil, causing its strength to increase explosively, it was now a low-leveled Peak Martial King. The strength of the lowest Peak Martial King would be at least two countries.
The Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear may only have the strength of
two countries but its defense was perversely strong. It was a good thing that the strongest attacks of the Heavenly Fire-Armored Rock Bear used fire and not its physical body. However, in the later stages, its physical body would also become strong, this was the characteristics of demonic beasts.
When it was night, Qing Shui once again went into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal!
He practiced the Tiger's Form, the movements of his arms seemed to be particularly smooth, and each strike contained an explosive strength. Qing Shui was not sure if he had touched the boundaries of the Martial Saint Realm yet.
Qing Shui was sure that his Tiger's Form had increased in realm because it had an additional 100 thousand Jin of strength. This was the reason why Qing Shui was so sure, only when the realm increased would there be such a phenomena.
100 thousand Jin of strength was not worth mentioning to Qing Shui but it was better than nothing. Once must know that the price of a pill that could raise one's strength by 100 thousand Jin would be astronomical in the World of the Nine Continents.
Earlier, Mingyue Gelou had discovered the same thing. Although to Qing Shui, this increase of 100 thousand Jin of strength was nothing, to Mingyue Gelou, it made a huge difference. It had increased her strength as an early Martial King significantly.
Qing Shui only stopped after he practiced the Tiger's Form for an hour!
Overall, Qing Shui felt quite satisfied, after all, he was able to strike out with the force of a Martial Saint. Suddenly, he thought of the Dark Green Divine Stone.
Taking out the Violet Gold Divine Shield, Qing Shui felt happy in his heart. A stone that could release seals, he wondered how many layers of seals it could remove from the Violet Gold Divine Shield.
Qing Shui noticed previously that the Dark Green Divine Stone had the word 'damaged', thus Qing Shui felt that it was difficult to completely unseal the seal of the Violet Gold Divine Shield with it.
The method of undoing the seal was quite simple, smelt the Dark Green Divine Stone then mix it into the Violet Gold Divine Shield. This did not seem difficult, after all, it was rare to find such a miraculous stone.
After 30 minutes, the Violet Gold Divine Shield radiated a bright violet light, it looked even more resplendent that before, sparkling with a translucent noble air that could cause people to gasp in surprise.
Violet Gold Divine Shield: An ancient lost item of the World of the Nine Continents, has mystical effects!
Effects: the person using the Violet Gold Divine Shield will have a 100 percent increase in physical strength!
Inherent technique: Divine Armor, Can defend against 50% of the opponent's damage for one hour!
Passive skill: Divine Bash, when using the Violet Gold Divine Shield to bash, there will be an addition 20 percent of the body's strength added to the attack.
Usage requirement: the body's strength has to reach the strength of one country.
Status: Sealed!
When Qing Shui saw this, he was excited, the attacking power increased by a fold, and when using the shield to attack, it would increase the attacking power by 20 percent.
Furthermore, the speed reducing effect was gone. Now, this Violet Gold Divine Shield could finally be considered a divine level item. Holding the Violet Gold Divine Shield, Qing Shui felt as if his speed had increased significantly.
After all, it previously decreased 30 percent of his speed, when that restraint was gone, the feeling was different. If Feng Shamo had the current Violet Gold Divine Shield with him, Qing Shui would have died already.
"Eh? It is still sealed?"
Qing Shui looked at the status behind and saw that is was still sealed. The attribute of reducing speed is already removed, it even grew a lot stronger, but why is it still sealed?"
Thinking for another 15 minutes, Qing Shui felt that this was actually a good thing. It did not matter if he could unseal it right noow or not.. As long as he unsealed it in the future, this Violet Gold Divine Shield would be even stronger.
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant and Fire Bird were both outside, under such desolated conditions, Qing Shui could peacefully cultivate in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
……
The second day, during morning practice, he discovered that the three generations of the Qing Clan had all gotten up even earlier than him. Everyone was bitterly training the Tiger's Form. There was an idiom that stated that if the time was right, and the geographical and social conditions were favorable, it meant a fortuitous opportunity. This piece of land had favorable geographical conditions for training the Tiger's Form. It was even better for it than the Heavenly Palace with its dense Spiritual Qi.
However, Qing Shui did not immediately practice the Tiger's Form, instead, he practiced the Taichi Fist. This was a habit that was ingrained deep into his bones, regardless of anything, he would not lose this habit.
After finishing the Taichi Fist, he gave the rest some pointers and explained some of the things that they needed to pay attention to and some tricks. They had gained a lot, even Mingyue Gelou was seriously listening.
"Gelou, don't just listen, you are now in the same realm as me, you can share some of your experiences with them." Qing Shui laughed boisterously.
"Eh? I just watched you practiced then I unknowingly broke through." Mingyue Gelou's face went red.
This favorable geographical location was not a result of Spiritual Qi, but allowed people to cultivate the Tiger's Form faster. It was because this was the best environment for tigers to live in, regardless of encouraging the procreation of tigers or their longevity, it was the best.
Three months later!
Qing Shui and his group arrived at the Continent's Capital, and Qing Shui directly brought them up the Heavenly Palace's mountain.
He brought the group of Qing Clan members to Cang Wuya and introduced them. After all, they were his family, as for Cang Wuya, he had talked about him to many of the Qing Clan.
Cang Wuya spoke warmly with everyone, Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li also came out and happily greeted all of them. They had not seen each other for half a year and sorely missed each other.
"Old master, Qing Yi thanks you for caring for Qing Shui." Qing Yi bowed to Cang Wuya in gratitude.
Qing Yi only knew that Cang Wuya saved Qing Shui's life, just based on that, it was sufficient.
"Dear child, we are all of one family, don't be so courteous, come inside the house." Cang Wuya was exceptionally happy.
The size of Cang Wuya's living room was just nice, despite the large number of people, they were not cramped and did not have to squeeze into each other.
"Old master, nothing happened to the Heavenly Palace during this period of time right?" Qing Shui could tell from Cang Wuya's expression that there were no unexpected incidents.
"No, everything went smoothly, it is just that the powers withinthe Starday Hall has changed. The Feng Clan was no longer suitable, and now the Wu Clan is holding the reins. Because you left, we could not get this approved." Cang Wuya laughed loudly.
"No harm done, actually it does not matter who are the Palace Masters of each Hall. If he could rise to that position, it is the results of his abilities. However, in regards to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Old Ancestor had instructed me not to change him.
Finally, Qing Shui arranged for the Qing Clan to stay in a three-storied pavilions 100 meters beyond Cang Wuya's place. This way, there would be someone to take care of them.
"Mother, temporarily stay here for a period of time first. When I've found a house and shop in the Continent's Capital then we will go over there." Qing Shui said after making the arrangements for the Qing Clan's residence.
"En, no problems, Qing Shui, go deal with your matters first, there is no rush."
"Do you all want to join the Heavenly Palace?" Qing Shui smiled and looked at Qing You, Qing Bei, and the others.
"Brother Qing Shui, I will leave together with grandfather, wait till I break into the Xiantian Realm then I will join the Heavenly Palace." Qing You thought seriously before replying.
Qing You's words shocked Qing Shui, this guy kept making a fuss about entering the Heavenly Palace, then finding a Xiantian Realm wife. Now, he actually made this decision, it seems that he still had quite a strong ego, for him to make such a big decision.
In the end, those who had not reached the Xiantian Realm said that they would not join the Heavenly Palace. They said they could not break the rules of the Heavenly Palace, when they said that, Qing Shui felt very happy.
In the end, the only ones who joined the Heavenly Palace were Qing Bei and Luan Luan!
It was settled. When Qing Shui saw the sky, he went towards the back mountain!
Since he left, it had almost beef half a year, Qing Shui did not know how Elder Ge was doing, thus he went to check. Qing Shui did not want this strong old man to descend into negativity.
From a distance, he saw Elder Ge practicing his sword under the summer sun. The last time he came, it had just become spring, now summer was almost over.
Hearing footsteps, Elder Ge turned his head and saw that it was Qing Shui. He stopped and smiled at Qing Shui!
"How have you been recently Elder Ge?"
"Good, thank you, did you just get back?"
"I've been back for half a day, how is your body feeling now?" Qing Shui looking at Elder Ge, who had reached the early Martial King Realm.
"Your medicine and acupuncture skills are very impressive. In this half year, especially at the start, my strength improved crazily, but after awhile, it slowed down." Elder Ge had a smile radiating with happiness as he said that.
"It has been half a year, that is normal. It is about time for acupuncture again, let's begin now!" Qing Shui had calculated the time back then, the next acupuncture session could not be in more than half a year later, now about half a year had passed.
This time, the acupuncture points required an obvious increase in strength. About 80 percent of the acupoints on Elder Ge's body had been pricked before, although this process was smooth, it was still a little dangerous.
Four Hours!
Just acupuncture alone used four hours, almost half the day had already went by. Now, Qing Shui's acupuncture technique had some strengthening effect on the foundation of human bones and also a marrow cleansing effect.
Just this acupuncture session caused Elder Ge's strength to rise from Grade One Martial King to Grade Three Martial King. Of course, if Qing Shui used the acupuncture techniques on him again, he would still be a Grade Three Martial King. This kind of acupuncture was like eating medicine, after the first one, the second one would not be effective. Even if you increased the dosage, there would not be any effects, it might even cause his body to be not able to withstand it.
Acupuncture opens up one's potential to a certain extent, this was one of the effects of acupuncture that could not be overlooked!
