A Top Scholar in Everything

The journey of the Legendary Ship proceeded without any obstruction, and everyone else on the Legendary Ship relaxed, no longer as tense and restrained as they were at the beginning.

Even when Qiong Yue was piloting the Legendary Ship, the rest of the Qiong family could not come aboard casually.

Many young members of the Qiong family.

Were on the Legendary Ship for the first time.

"The Qiong family should have Grandmasters, right? For example, Qiong Meng whom I met back then should be a Grandmaster, correct?"

The Legendary Ship, inside Hall No. 1.

While Baiyu was exercising his body, he asked.

Qiong Jiu nodded: "Yes, but Qiong Meng's situation is somewhat special. He won't take action unless absolutely necessary."

Baiyu understood internally.

Qiong Meng's existence, he could only encounter through the Dream Bell.

In reality.

He had never met this senior.

It should be one of those formidable figures hidden by the family.

Baiyu now had his Blood and Qi System established, and didn't really need the Dream Bell, but chatting with Qiong Meng was enjoyable.

"I am now stuck at nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Blood Qi Cards, just one card short of breaking ten thousand to step into the Tier Six Martial Artist realm.

Teacher, do you have any good advice?"

Baiyu humbly sought guidance.

Qiong Jiu reached out her small hand, grasped Baiyu's palm, and sensed carefully: "Not bad, your Blood Qi is abundant, cultivated step by step, with no latent injuries or old ailments accumulated inside, your body is at its peak.

Your Extraordinary Abilities have reached which sequence?"

"Sequence Eight, without subsequent Magic Elixir Recipes, it's tough to upgrade.

The information my parents left has recipes only for Sequence Nine and Sequence Eight."

Baiyu responded.

The Magic Elixir Recipes involved the scholar space, so he had to fabricate a reason.

Moreover, this was also his statement to the outside world.

Previously when the Silver Blade August Cavendish from the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics offered to purchase the Magic Elixir Recipes, he mentioned this as well.

"This poses a challenge, as you are not solely cultivating the Martial Dao."

Qiong Jiu did not inquire about Baiyu's Extraordinary Abilities, only said: "If someone only cultivated Martial Dao, they just focus on this path diligently, consistently aligning with True Martial Intent, they can break through to Tier Six Martial Artist realm. But if one cultivates both Extraordinary abilities and Blood Qi, then one needs to consider the progress of the Extraordinary Sequence."

"Oh? What does this mean?"

Baiyu curiously asked.

After becoming a Fanatical Scholar, he naturally had a desire to learn unknown knowledge.

This seemed to be a downside of the Magic Elixir.

Curiosity killed the cat.

"Martial artists who cultivate both Blood Qi and Extraordinary abilities need to pay attention to the balance between the two.

Just like a scale.

Once one side tilts too severely, the other side will inevitably be affected.

Generally, those who cultivate both.

Like myself.

When I broke through to Tier Six Martial Artist, my Extraordinary Sequence had already reached Sequence Six, Spiritual Intuition was high, often producing moments of enlightenment, which greatly helped Martial Dao to advance."

"Moments of enlightenment?"

Baiyu was somewhat curious.

Qiong Jiu said: "After reaching the peak of Tier Seven Martial Artist, you must find the correct path based on your True Martial Intent.

Opening meridians, Forged Skin, Bone Tempering.

Once you've gone through these steps, relying solely on training, physical Blood Qi is difficult to improve further.

If one wants to enhance Blood Qi, it must begin from a higher level.

Spirituality.

In fact, many times it's not just the manifestation of Extraordinary Power, but also what martial artists need to pursue.

Moments of enlightenment.

Are related to your spirituality.

When you find the path your True Martial Intent points to, you can step into Tier Six, and this one card of Blood Qi cannot be breakthrough by quenching and forging."

Qiong Jiu spoke mysteriously.

Baiyu listened for a long time, only connecting the dots about these two words: idealistic.

In other words, whether he breaks through depends on luck, the higher the spirituality, the easier the moment of enlightenment, the easier the breakthrough?

It's purely idealistic.

No wonder the number of Elite Level martial artists is significantly fewer than ordinary martial artists.

Buzz...

At this time.

A reverberating sound came from outside the Legendary Ship.

Qiong Jiu heard this sound, his face showing joy: "It seems we have traveled beyond the range of Maple Leaf County."

Their route did not choose the primary waterway.

Instead, they departed from the side of Linjiang City, bypassed the mountains, entered the Mist Deceit Forest, and then traversed the vast uninhabited desert to reach Haiqing County.

The advantage of this approach is that it can avoid demons and aliens.

But the downside is.

The Mist Deceit Forest has always been regarded as a highly dangerous area, a vast primitive jungle, after the Spiritual Qi Revival, it became the most perilous Green Hell.

The threat here remains substantial.

The buzzing sound just now indicated they had left the range of Maple Leaf County and formally entered the Mist Deceit Forest.

"I'll take a walk around to prevent anyone from getting restless."

Qiong Jiu walked out of the hall.

Baiyu nodded and directed at the screen at the front of the hall: "Erza, monitor the surroundings, don't let anyone in.

And after entering the Mist Deceit Forest, be more cautious.

By the way.

Bring Cang Yan to me."

Erza's image appeared on the screen, nodding silently.

After giving the instruction.

Baiyu closed his eyes, letting his consciousness immerse into the scholar space.

The space remained silent.

On the task panel.

Three tasks were lined up, unchanged.

"The Simple Difficulty task is for me to read a book containing forbidden knowledge, but the only book with forbidden knowledge I have encountered is the one given by Teacher Yi Xian, 'Whispers of the Night,' and this crazy woman keeps wanting me to join the Church of Black Moon..."

Baiyu touched the Black Moon Mark under his skin.

If not absolutely necessary.

He wouldn't want to use the power contained within the mark at all.

Elite Difficulty Task.

Which is to publish an independent paper that creates a small stir.

Unfortunately.

Baiyu was ready with the paper, but then came the upheaval in Zenith City, and now everyone is focused on this.

He lost the mood to continue publishing his research paper on mechanisms and Blood Energy.

Even if he publishes.

Without the advisor's endorsement and relevant procedures, he cannot accomplish it.

Qiong Jiu is just a high school teacher.

He doesn't have the right to guide students or publish and register papers.

Baiyu again set his eyes on the Nightmare Difficulty.

[You're surely eager for more forbidden knowledge, right? Such knowledge isn't demonic, and now you have the capacity to accept it.

Conduct a knowledge sacrifice, specific operation method as follows...]

This was the task's content.

The reward, as always, was unknown.

In the previous Nightmare Difficulty, he not only obtained the Magic Elixir Recipe of the Fanatical Scholar but also acquired a parchment printed with poems.

Judging by the result.

This parchment surely has significant importance, a valuable asset that can influence Giants.

Nightmare Difficulty rewards are exceedingly rich.

But at that time.

He also faced great peril.

"According to Qiong Jiu, to break through to Tier Six, it's best to first enhance the Extraordinary Sequence, elevate one's Spiritual Power and spirituality, increasing the likelihood of a moment of enlightenment."

Baiyu sighed.

Even as a Fanatical Scholar, he hadn't fully assimilated it, how could he possibly progress further.

Furthermore, to get the next Sequence Magic Elixir Recipe, he can only complete the Nightmare Task in the space to achieve that.

So, he has to put it aside for now.

Returning from the scholar space, a large upright walking hamster was just in front of him, holding an insignificant looking black stone.

"Hey, can you tone it down a bit?

This is the Eye of the Black Moon!

Even though Kaz is dead, Linjiang still hasn't found the magical items on his body back then."

Baiyu couldn't help but caution.
