My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

”As a First Hall True Inheritance, you do indeed need to practice these two Leaf Skills. One to see, one to hide. While they don’t increase your actual combat power, they are essential skills for when you’re out in the world.”

”Hmm, for the Pupil Leaf Skill, you should practice ’Void Spiritual Eyes.’ That skill is something special. As for the Concealing Breath Leaf Skill... I recommend the ’Deep Stream Returning Technique.’”

Zhou Xuanmo stroked his beard thoughtfully before continuing, ”This technique isn’t about simply concealing your aura. Its essence is derived from the concept, ’deep waters flow silently, and all things return to concealment.’ It is perfectly suited for a Cultivator of Water Phase True Essence.”

He explained in detail, ”When practicing this technique, at the Early Stage you can suppress the fluctuations of your True Essence and Qi Blood to become like the still water of a deep pool, without leaking the slightest trace. An ordinary Cultivator of the same realm would find it difficult to detect you.”

”Once you reach Minor Achievement, you can simulate the aura of an ordinary Martial Artist or someone of an even lower level to disguise yourself.”

”If you reach the realm of Great Success, you can perfectly merge your Qi Mechanism with a surrounding environment rich in water essence. You can even leverage advantageous conditions like rain, fog, or rivers to achieve a concealment effect akin to the ’Unity of Heaven and Man.’ Even someone one or two Small Realms of Cultivation above you would have difficulty noticing anything amiss, unless they deliberately performed a meticulous scan with their Divine Sense.”

Zhou Xuanmo looked at Qin Fang’s gleaming eyes.

He said with a smile, ”Although this technique isn’t an Attack Skill, it has wonderful applications for traveling the world, exploring dangerous places, and even catching an enemy by surprise at a critical moment. Moreover, while it’s active, your True Essence is contained internally, which offers the slight benefit of nourishing your meridians and calming your mind.”

”It’s stored in the ’Profound Water Leaf Skill’ section on the east side of the third floor. Go exchange for it yourself.”

He paused, then added a reminder, ”But you must remember that the art of Concealing Breath is not invincible.”

”When you’re up against someone whose Cultivation far surpasses your own, or who has mastered special detection Divine Techniques, there is still a risk of being discovered.”

”In the Cultivation Realm, the arts of perception and concealment are forever locked in an endless cycle of opposition and advancement. You have only just entered the Primordial Stream Realm. First, build a solid foundation by mastering these two basic, practical Leaf Skills. In the future, you will have opportunities to learn more profound methods.”

Qin Fang let out a long breath and said, genuinely impressed, ”Thank you for your guidance, Master!”

The ’Deep Stream Returning Technique’ truly sounded perfect for him. It wasn’t just practical; it also matched the attribute of his True Essence, which meant practicing it would likely be much smoother.

’His Root Skill even has the word ”Guicang” in it!’

”Go on, then.”

Zhou Xuanmo waved his hand at him.

After bowing respectfully, Qin Fang headed straight for the stairs.

He was partway up the stairs when he suddenly froze...

’I wonder if I have enough contribution points?’

’I forgot to check just now. I haven’t been in the Sect for half a year... but... they should still issue the monthly stipend on time, right?’

He checked his Token with some apprehension.
