Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

After listening to Ji Bochu's introduction, Shen Qing fell into deep thought.

For some reason, he always felt that these Martial Arts Skills sounded not too different from the few techniques he was currently cultivating.

In his view, the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique and Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal, which he had broken through via the panel, also carried a hint of the divine essence found in these Immortal Martial Techniques.

Take the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, for instance—every time he used this technique to seize nature's spiritual energy, he felt detached from life and death, in harmony with the world, and the spiritual energy he seized would merge within his body like countless rivers converging into the sea, gathering into streams of vitality, allowing him to grasp a supreme meaning of transcending Samsara and life and death of heaven and earth.

The Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal, on the other hand, took the "Annihilate" concept to the extreme.

Every time Shen Qing employed the Seal Technique, he felt he was exuding and inhaling the destructive aura of the heavens and the earth in every move, crushing and obliterating everything.

These two techniques did not seem out of place here at all.

With the panel's enhancement, there was no doubt about future breakthroughs in realms with these techniques, and with time, success would inevitably come.

Upon careful reflection, Shen Qing realized he didn't hold an intense yearning for these Immortal Martial Techniques before him.

As for the other Magic Treasures and Elixirs, he wasn't very fond of them either.

Rather, the Spirit Eye here was a pleasant surprise.

Even though he thought such things, Shen Qing did not show it; he tentatively asked: "Lord Ji, may I know which Immortal Martial Technique the current Imperial family is practicing?"

"Hahaha..." Ji Bochu laughed and said, "Do you wish to learn the technique of the current Majesty?"

Feigning embarrassment, Shen Qing nodded slightly.

Ji Bochu shook his head, explaining: "The technique His Majesty practices is the 'Sword Storage,' one of the few complete lineages from ancient times, a Martial Art that the Imperial lineage primarily practices; it would not be placed in this Imperial Armory."

"If it were researched thoroughly by someone, finding flaws in the technique would be detrimental to the Imperial family."

Shen Qing caught the implication of his words.

In the current Great Zhou Techniques, there might be several excellent Immortal Martial Techniques that have not been shown to others.

The ones left here are somewhat flawed, only touted as Immortal Martial Techniques for better sound.

If some extraordinarily talented individuals explore many aspects from these techniques, it would be beneficial for the Imperial family, a great thing indeed.

Placing Immortal Martial Techniques here seems like a win-win for the Imperial family.

Given his deductions, Shen Qing felt this notion even more compelling.

Perhaps Ji Zikong noticed his "talent" and gave him the Beautiful Pattern Jade Token to let him "decipher" and perfect these top-tier techniques.

Thinking this made him even less interested.

However, having come all this way, it would be a pity not to take a copy.

Shen Qing extended his hand, saying, "Please, Master, I would like to learn that 'Saint Body Great Achievement Technique.'"

Ji Bochu was not surprised, smiling as he said, "Good choice, many Martial Masters who opt for Immortal Martial Arts choose this technique. In reality, apart from being difficult to practice, it has no other drawbacks. Even if practiced moderately, it could prolong life."

Saying this, Ji Bochu stepped forward and with a gesture, a Jade Box containing the 'Saint Body Great Achievement Technique' flew into his hand. He gently caressed the surface of the Jade Box, a fleeting nostalgic look in his eyes before solemnly handing it over to Shen Qing.

Receiving it with both hands, Shen Qing felt a warm sensation.

The Jade Box emitted a faint golden light, and when he touched it, it became even more vibrant.

When he opened the Jade Box, he saw quietly lying inside was a yellowed Sheepskin Scroll, faintly showing the words 'Saint Body Great Achievement Technique.'

Glancing at Ji Bochu as if realizing something, Shen Qing noticed he was too calm.

Hurriedly focusing on the words on the Sheepskin Scroll, he forced out waves of excitement on his face.

Under Ji Bochu's gaze, Shen Qing took a deep breath, unfurled the Sheepskin Scroll, and began to study it carefully.

Quietly watching Shen Qing read, Ji Bochu secretly thought, "To achieve this realm at such a young age, this person must have great talent in Martial Arts. The Emperor must have sent him to test the technique."

"Throughout history, countless talents went insane practicing these Immortal Martial Techniques to their current state. I wonder if this lad can give us some surprise. I hope he can endure longer and not succumb to madness too soon."

Using his "Never Forget" and "Erudite in Inquiry" abilities, Shen Qing quickly memorized and fully understood the Martial Arts in its entirety.

"Lord Ji, I've memorized everything."

Saying this, he packed the Sheepskin Scroll back into the Jade Box, intending to return it.

Ji Bochu, however, waved it off, "Leave the technique here; no need to rush returning it, just don't take it out. Conveniently, this fifth level has the Spirit Eye for you to study and enhance your skills."

Shen Qing did not expect such thoughtful consideration, igniting suspicion in his heart.

To his knowledge, the Great Zhou court kept a strict eye on Martial Arts, wanting to prevent anyone from seeing it.

Something strange is always lurking.

Is there an issue with the techniques here?

Knowing the state of the Great Zhou instilled further skepticism in Shen Qing.

Ji Bochu added, "Around that corner on the fifth level is a screen, behind which is a private Spirit Eye; you can study martial arts alone there. I'll be around the Imperial Armory, so feel free to find me anytime if you need."

Hearing this, Shen Qing feigned "delight," exclaiming, "Thank you, Master."

"Mm."

As Ji Bochu departed, the joy on Shen Qing's face gradually faded away.

He glanced at the position of the screen nearby and entered with the Jade Box in hand.

The spot was a secluded and inconspicuous corner, very tranquil.

Upon entering, Shen Qing noticed neatly arranged papers, ink, brushes, and inkstones.

He chuckled at himself, "Such thorough preparation."

Stepping forward, Shen Qing casually tossed the Jade Box aside, seated himself cross-legged.

"It's a rare chance, perfect for cultivating the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique and the Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal, not forgetting to hone the Great Void Technique a bit; cultivating one's own techniques is safest."

With this resolution, Shen Qing quickly entered a meditative state, his breathing steady, enveloped by a faint aurora.

"First, practice the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique to fortify myself."

With a thought, Shen Qing activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique.

Instantly his acupoints awoke one by one, illuminating brilliantly, akin to the brightest stars in the sky.

Under Shen Qing's urging, these luminous acupoints gradually transformed into spinning whirlpools of vibrant energy, voraciously devouring the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

Here, beneath the Spirit Eye's protection, the density of Spiritual Energy was astonishing, utterly different from the outside world.

Each thread of Spiritual Energy brimming with rich earthly essence relentlessly streamed into Shen Qing's body.

"Such an extraordinary training environment!"

Initiating his practice, Shen Qing distinctly sensed the abundant purity of the Spiritual Energy here, enhancing his training efficacy multiple times, leading him to express his admiration.

He vaguely felt that training here equaled, or even exceeded, the speed facilitated by wish beads.

Coming here was undoubtedly worth it.
