54: Qi Source Flow Gang

Lu Qianyuan concentrated his Mental Energy and began to perceive the situation within the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall.

There was one Rank Five expert, two Rank Four experts, and twenty-one Rank Three novices.

The rest were apprentices, totaling over a hundred people.

Only those three individuals could make Lu Qianyuan feel a slight pressure.

Deep within the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall, Lu Qianyuan discovered two safes protected by special means, which could block Mental Energy, preventing him from detecting their contents.

Lu Qianyuan focused his Mental Energy, slowly permeating it into the safes.

These safes could block others, but they couldn't block him.

Before long, he saw the exact contents of the safes.

Inside the room was the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall's secret technique, an A-Rank Qi Cultivation Art, the Tian Ren Heart Art.

It needed to be combined with a blade or sword-type Battle Spirit to fully unleash its effects.

Besides that, there was also a blue Battle Spirit.

Lu Qianyuan memorized the Tian Ren Heart Art, then shifted his attention to the other safe.

This safe was hidden in a deeper location, and its defenses were also stronger and more intricate, at least one Rank higher than the previous safe.

It took Lu Qianyuan ten minutes to permeate his Mental Energy into it and examine its contents.

The safe did not contain a Battle Skill, only a black Battle Spirit.

Unlike the black of a Dormant Battle Spirit, this Battle Spirit was very active; its darkness originated from its power.

In terms of Rank, this one should be considered an orange Battle Spirit.

This was the first time Lu Qianyuan had seen such a Battle Spirit, and he immediately developed a strong interest.

He concentrated his Mental Energy and continued to search, but he only found this one black Battle Spirit.

Perhaps Ye Yan came here for this Battle Spirit.

Such a special Battle Spirit also piqued Lu Qianyuan's interest; he really wanted to see what skills this Battle Spirit possessed, perhaps it could give him some surprises.

Just then, Lu Qianyuan noticed Ye Yan entering his perception.

He withdrew his Mental Energy and waited quietly.

Before long, Ye Yan arrived.

"Come out, I see you."

Ye Yan said to the empty space, which left the passersby beside him looking puzzled.

He awkwardly coughed twice, pretending nothing had happened.

After the passersby left, Lu Qianyuan revealed himself.

"Are you amused?"

Ye Yan rolled his eyes at Lu Qianyuan, his tone somewhat displeased.

"Where is it?"

"Here."

Ye Yan took out a notebook from his backpack and handed it to Lu Qianyuan.

The latter took it and began to examine it; it recorded the A-Rank Battle Skill Qi Source Flowing Gang, a very exquisite defensive Battle Skill.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait."

Lu Qianyuan called out to Ye Yan.

"I found some Dormant Battle Spirits; when will you collect them?"

"How many?"

"Fifty-seven."

"???"

Ye Yan was shocked for a moment but quickly recovered.

He already had a deep understanding of Lu Qianyuan's strangeness; even if Lu Qianyuan said something even more peculiar, he wouldn't be too surprised.

"What quality?"

"One blue, the rest are green."

"Give me the blue one; we'll talk about the green ones next time."

"I want a healing-type Battle Skill."

"An A-Rank healing-type Battle Skill? That's a bit difficult to get."

"How difficult?"

"What type do you want? Healing Battle Skills also come in many types."

"Healing physical injuries is enough; the stronger the effect, the better, with no side effects."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan searched his mind for a moment and quickly found a suitable target.

"Still at this time, this place tomorrow."

"Okay."

The two confirmed the time and place for tomorrow's transaction and then parted ways.

Ye Yan entered the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall with the Dormant Battle Spirits he had just acquired, while Lu Qianyuan returned to the hotel with the notebook.

On the way, he began to study the Qi Source Flowing Gang he had just obtained.

Qi Source Flowing Gang emphasized absolute control over Origin Qi; only with a very, very high degree of control over Origin Qi could this move be executed.

Generally, it required the enhancement of a Mental Energy-type Battle Spirit to use this move.

And the Battle Skill that complemented this move was Origin Qi-type.

Among many Battle Spirits, Origin Qi-type Battle Spirits were particularly rare and precious.

Because Origin Qi was the foundation of a Spirit Master; without Origin Qi, a Spirit Master's combat power would be directly halved, or even reduced to less than one-tenth.

And Origin Qi-type Battle Spirits could enhance a Spirit Master's Origin Qi, which was of great help to a Spirit Master.

Unfortunately, Lu Qianyuan had not yet seen an Origin Qi-type Battle Spirit, so he could only unleash the basic power of Qi Source Flowing Gang.

The effect of Qi Source Flowing Gang was very simple: it was purely to condense Origin Qi and then solidify it outside the body to form a protective defense.

At the same time, this Origin Qi could also make the Spirit Master's body lighter, greatly increasing the Spirit Master's speed.

If Cultivated to the extreme, it was indeed possible to achieve Qi-controlled flight, but it would consume a lot of Origin Qi.

Lu Qianyuan simulated it tens of thousands of times in his mind and quickly mastered Qi Source Flowing Gang.

However, the consumption of Qi Source Flowing Gang was too great.

Lu Qianyuan's Origin Qi, comparable to a Rank Three Peak, could at most sustain Qi Source Flowing Gang for thirty seconds when fully unleashed.

Fortunately, his Origin Qi recovery speed was fast enough; by fully operating the Spirit Source Art, he could also keep Qi Source Flowing Gang active for a long time.

In terms of defensive power, Lu Qianyuan had not yet tested it.

However, according to his own estimation, it should be able to withstand Rank Three attacks.

Lu Qianyuan returned to the hotel, then continued to Cultivate using the remaining qi-enhancing flowers from yesterday, raising his own Origin Qi Realm.

Time slowly passed, and in a blink of an eye, another day had gone by.

Lu Qianyuan used all the remaining qi-enhancing flowers, and his strength increased slightly, but his Origin Qi Realm did not improve; it was still Rank Three, Second Level, which Lu Qianyuan was very satisfied with.

Lu Qianyuan arrived at the entrance of the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall at the agreed time and then began to wait.

While waiting, he took a moment to look at the black Battle Spirit inside the Tian Ren Martial Arts Hall and found that the black Battle Spirit was still there, without any change.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, ten minutes went by, and Ye Yan arrived on time.

"Here's what you wanted."

Ye Yan directly handed the notebook to Lu Qianyuan, who removed his invisibility and took the notebook.

Invisibility was already somewhat unable to keep up with his strength; it was time to find a way to increase the Rank of his invisibility, otherwise being easily seen through by Ye Yan made him feel very insecure.

He flipped through the notebook in his hand, which recorded an A-Rank healing art called Spirit Healing Art, which required the spiritual source to have healing effects to master, and the more spiritual source consumed, the stronger the healing effect.

It was very well-matched with the Spirit Source Art.

The Spirit Source Art was a recovery-type Qi Cultivation Art; those who mastered the Spirit Source Art would have Origin Qi with a slight healing effect.

Perhaps this art was a complementary art to the Spirit Source Art.
