64: The second seal method... [Floating Light Seal]!

“Li Qi, can you tell me how you obtained your Dragon Gate Seal?” Ji Zhizhang asked.

Li Qi did not hide anything: “This Disciple bought it from the Linglong Merchant Guild when I was traveling the Jianghu.”

Ji Zhizhang nodded: “So that’s how it is.”

“Since that’s the case, then you should know that the Dragon Gate Seal is incomplete; it’s only a part of a certain Cultivation Technique, right?”

“This Disciple knows. The Dragon Gate Seal is one of the seal Moves within the Mystic Seal.”

Ji Zhizhang nodded and smiled: “Indeed. Speaking of the Mystic Seal, it has a great origin. It is said to have been created by an unknown Land Immortal. Its seal Moves are ingeniously subtle and infinitely profound…”

As he spoke, Ji Zhizhang raised his hand, and a book floated from a bookshelf in the adjacent room, landing in his hand.

“Coincidentally… many years ago, when I was adventuring outside, I also obtained one of the seal Moves from the Mystic Seal. Today, I shall pass it on to you.”

Receiving the book handed over by the Grand Elder, Li Qi focused his gaze.

“Floating Light Imprint?!”

Li Qi immediately flipped through it, and the System also recognized this Cultivation Technique.

“Discovered cultivable Martial Art!”

“Martial Art being recorded…”

“You have obtained High Grade Martial Art… Floating Light Imprint!”

After being recorded by the System, Li Qi learned the detailed contents of this seal Move.

“Floating Light Imprint”

“Rank: High Grade Martial Art”

“Mastery Rank: Not Initiated (Consume 10 Potential Points to Initiate)”

“Move: Floating Light Shadow”

“Description: This is one of the seal Moves of the High Grade Martial Art Mystic Seal. This seal Move takes the meaning of ‘floating light and fleeting shadow, gone in an instant,’ and is an extremely profound movement technique! If cultivated to a profound level, the speed will be unimaginably fast!”

Li Qi had learned about the Mystic Seal and knew that its various seal Moves had long been scattered and lost. It was already very difficult to find even one of them.

And to find all of the Mystic Seals… was even more difficult.

But Li Qi never expected that the Grand Elder here would happen to have a Floating Light Imprint! This was truly fortunate!

“You have now obtained two parts of the Mystic Seal, which will greatly benefit your Cultivation.”

“In the future, you can also try to find other Mystic Seals. If you can find more Mystic Seals… it would also be extremely good for you…”

After Li Qi accepted this Floating Light Imprint, Ji Zhizhang smiled and encouraged him. Li Qi once again thanked the Elder for his generous gift.

After a few simple words, Li Qi and Wang Huan also left the Grand Elder’s secluded Cultivation place, and the benefits belonging to the Chief Disciple were also bestowed.

In addition to a large sum of Contribution Jade Coins, Li Qi also received a very good precious sword.

Flowing Cloud Sword!

This sword was forged by skilled craftsmen through a hundred refinements. Its blade was as tough as silk, as hard as iron, capable of bending and flexing without losing its sharpness.

The blade was three feet two inches long, as thin as a cicada’s wing, with flowing cloud patterns carved on its spine, like floating clouds in the sky, drifting with the wind, leisurely and elegant.

This sword was precious; without thousands of gold… it would be difficult to acquire!

Li Qi held the Flowing Cloud Sword, playing with it for a moment, feeling its tough quality, elegant form, and sharp Qi. It was a superior product, and his heart was filled with joy.

“Thank you, Elder, for your generous gift!”

“Haha, you are the Chief Disciple of this Sect; these are all what you deserve. No need to thank me.”

“Cultivate diligently in the future, and there will be more benefits. You must not be negligent.”

“This Disciple obeys, and will not disappoint!”

After Li Qi became the new Chief Disciple, Wang Huan also offered a few congratulatory words, and then the two parted ways.

Upon returning to his residence, Li Qi let out a long sigh: “It’s finally over…”

The Disciple Grand Competition was the most significant event during this period. Li Qi had intended to contend for the Chief position and successfully secured it, also receiving acceptance and rewards from the Grand Elder.

By now… Li Qi had completely established himself in the Pine Crane Longevity Sect.

As he walked from the Grand Elder’s secluded Cultivation place, he encountered many Disciples along the way. These Disciples treated Li Qi with great respect.

When they saw him, they would all address him as Senior Brother, with no sign of defiance.

“Alright, continue to improve the Pine Crane Longevity Art!”

“Start upgrading!”

200 Potential Points were deducted from his System page, and his Pine Crane Longevity Art - Return to Origin Chapter also advanced to the Minor Achievement Realm.

Another vast amount of Cultivation memories continuously flooded his mind, and at the same time, an immense amount of Martial Dao True Essence appeared out of thin air, continuously surging into his Dantian!

Originally, the True Essence ocean in Li Qi’s Dantian was already astonishing. With the influx of the immense Martial Dao True Essence, the scale of the True Essence ocean expanded several times again, and Li Qi successfully entered the Late Stage True Essence Realm!

With Li Qi’s current foundation, he was even stronger than ordinary Peak True Essence Realm powerhouses!

Fighting across a minor Realm was not a problem at all!

Even against a few Elders of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect, Li Qi was confident he could win!

The recent spar with Huangfu Ji also served as a reminder to Li Qi… he could now try to approach the Cultivation methods of the True Intent Realm.

If Huangfu Ji, an Early Stage True Essence Realm Martial Artist, could already grasp some of its essence, how could Li Qi not?

Li Qi changed out of his dusty and sweaty clothes, took a quick rinse, and after changing into clean clothes, he headed towards the Scripture Depository.

Not long after the Disciple Grand Competition ended.

A graceful figure approached from afar, standing before the mountain gate.

Her long hair reached her waist, and her beautiful hair was blown by the mountain wind, revealing a hint of melancholy. She quietly gazed at the plaque above the mountain gate, her eyes complex, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

“Pine Crane Longevity Sect… I’m back…”

The gate-keeping Disciple at the mountain entrance also saw this figure and immediately exclaimed.

“Junior Martial Uncle Xu… You’re back?!!!”

The Disciple ran over with a look of pleasant surprise, bowing to the figure: “Junior Martial Uncle, you’re finally back! This is great!”

Xu Nianyun smiled charmingly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear: “Yes, I’m back.”

The Disciple’s eyes lit up, as if remembering something, and he teased her.

“Junior Martial Uncle, you’re really a bit slow in returning… your Disciple even returned before you.”

Disciple?

I haven’t taken any Disciples?

Xu Nianyun was puzzled: “Disciple? What Disciple?!”

“Haha, I won’t tell Junior Martial Uncle this. Junior Martial Uncle will know naturally once you enter the mountain gate.”

“And some things have happened in the Sect that will surely surprise Junior Martial Uncle!”

Seeing the gate-keeping Disciple playing riddles with her, Xu Nianyun’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She bent her finger into a flicking motion, pretending to strike.

“Little imp, so glib… looking for a beating.”

The Disciple quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing that the Disciple still wouldn’t tell, Xu Nianyun sighed helplessly and could only gracefully walk into the mountain gate…
