Chapter 114: New Spell [Wind Control]! Senior Sister, Junior Brother, Assassin

Top-tier lightness skill to travel through the air.

Qiu Zhen was stunned, quickly recalling the scene of his master, An Jishi, stepping through the air at the Demon Suppression Division that day.

In fact, under normal circumstances, only when one's cultivation reaches the "Grandmaster of Martial Arts," and achieves harmony between man and nature, can one interfere with the outside world with their own power and achieve flight.

He originally thought that his master, An Jishi, known as "Little Grandmaster An," was using the skills of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts to step through the air.

He never expected that this lightness skill could be mastered at the Innate Martial Master realm.

If that's the case, then the significance is extraordinary.

Innate Martial Masters cannot fly. If they master this lightness skill, let alone Innate True Qi Martial Masters, even Innate Inner Scene experts might be caught off guard at times.

Learning this lightness skill would maximize one's chances of survival.

Of course, Qiu Zhen was more interested in the Daoist technique [Wind Control] that his master An Jishi mentioned, but he didn't want to show it immediately. He had to take it slowly:

"Please enlighten me, Master!"

"Hmm!"

An Jishi nodded slightly, with a hint of smugness on his face:

"This is not the same as Wei Tan's flight that day. He relied on treasures, not his own ability. My [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] is a proper lightness skill."

Speaking of which, An Jishi sighed with emotion:

"It's just that this [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] seems to be a bit difficult. Except for your Shiniang (师娘, master's wife) who has mastered a little, none of your senior brothers and sisters have achieved anything significant. They have only learned a little superficial knowledge, making their movements more agile and ethereal, but they haven't grasped the essence at all, which is truly a pity."

Qiu Zhen was not surprised at all.

If such a top-tier lightness skill were so easy to learn, Innate Martial Masters in the Jianghu would have been flying around long ago, and wouldn't need to rely on their legs to run everywhere.

After sighing, An Jishi didn't say much. He was very straightforward and began to instruct and teach.

"Wind is formless and intangible, an external phenomenon formed by the movement of the Qi of heaven and earth."

"The essence of Wind Control lies in the word 'control'. In essence, it is the manifestation of one's own interference with the outside world."

"Cultivators of the Dao refine the spirit and cultivate the Yin Spirit, which can easily interfere with the outside world with the power of divine sense. Therefore, riding clouds and driving mist is easier. We crude martial artists do not have the power of divine sense, and only have the innate Qi refined internally. It is much more difficult to interfere with the outside world."

"The key to this [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] lies in interfering with the outside world with your own innate Qi, creating wind tips out of thin air, and stepping on the wind tips to control the air... It is a bit difficult to practice this top-tier lightness skill when first entering the Innate realm, but as your cultivation improves, it will definitely become easier and easier."

"Master, where is the key?"

"The key lies in using martial arts will to deploy Qi and gather wind tips."

As he spoke, An Jishi demonstrated on the spot. As his innate true Qi circulated, wind clusters appeared out of thin air under his feet, lifting him up all at once.

Perhaps for the sake of teaching, Master An Jishi's movements were very slow, lacking the ethereal agility of that day at the Demon Suppression Division. The entire process, from the circulation and release of innate true Qi to the gathering of wind clusters, was displayed in front of Qiu Zhen step by step.

If it were someone else, they would probably be completely confused and unable to understand what was happening after seeing this demonstration.

However, Qiu Zhen understood.

Deploy Qi to draw symbols!

Qiu Zhen saw at a glance that his master, An Jishi, was writing symbols with innate true Qi, using martial arts will as the soul of the symbol, and without using the "power of divine sense," he was performing the "Wind Control Technique."

What a genius!

Even Qiu Zhen, who had seen a lot, couldn't help but marvel at how high his master An Jishi's talent was.

Of course, he also understood at this moment why neither Shiniang Nan Zhiyi, nor the senior brothers and sisters, could grasp the essence of [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping].

This was clearly something that could only be dabbled in at the "Grandmaster of Martial Arts" realm. Learning this at the Innate realm was beyond the scope of what was expected, no wonder they had difficulty learning it.

It's too difficult and wasteful for disciples to teach beyond the scope of what they should be learning.

"Disciple, did you understand?"

"I understood."

Qiu Zhen nodded:

"Master, if I want to learn it, I'm afraid you will have to show me the [Wind Control Symbol] so that I can trace its origin, follow your path, and truly master this lightness skill."

"Haha~"

An Jishi laughed heartily, his face full of appreciation:

"Good eyesight, you really understood."

Not far outside the courtyard.

Second Senior Brother Tong Yuncong, Third Senior Sister Yu Lanyin, and An Huayu were squatting in the corner, watching with stunned expressions.

In fact, they had arrived long ago.

Originally, they wanted to say hello, but when they heard that Master was going to teach Junior Brother [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping], they all stopped and paused, with mischievous smiles on their faces.

They had suffered a lot from this ghostly lightness skill and had fallen countless times.

Even after falling with bruised noses and swollen faces, none of them had achieved anything significant.

That's why, when they saw that Junior Brother was also going to learn this [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping], they all had the intention of watching the fun and recalling their unbearable past.

It's just...

The situation that followed completely exceeded Tong Yuncong and Yu Lanyin's expectations.

"Senior Brother, what happened? How did Junior Brother understand again?"

Third Senior Sister Yu Lanyin opened her mouth, recalling:

"What [Wind Control Symbol]? Why didn't Master mention it to us? He didn't even let us observe it?"

Tong Yuncong pursed his lips, unable to speak.

If Master was holding back and not teaching them everything, then this definitely didn't happen.

The most criticized thing about their master was that he didn't care about his disciples and stuffed them with a lot of mysterious things.

Now, Master has restrained himself and is teaching from the shallow to the deep, without deviating from the topic or teaching randomly.

Tong Yuncong looked blankly at An Huayu beside him:

"Huayu, is Master usually teaching Junior Brother like this?"

"Yes!"

An Huayu nodded, with a helpless expression:

"Back then, when Dad taught him the [True Yang Saber Technique], he just gestured a little, and Junior Brother understood it and comprehended the [True Yang Initial Manifestation] saber intent. My dad regained his confidence in teaching disciples, and in the following days, he grabbed me and gave me pointers, which made me suffer miserably."

While they were talking, An Jishi came out of the house. When he saw the three of them, he transmitted his voice secretly:

"Yuncong, Lanyin, come over. Just now, while teaching your junior brother, I have gained new insights. Come over, and I will teach you [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] again."

"This..."

Tong Yuncong and Yu Lanyin looked embarrassed, their faces crestfallen, as if they were going to the execution ground.

The next day, the An residence.

Before dawn, Qiu Zhen woke up in the courtyard and began his morning practice of Zhan Zhuang (站桩, a type of Qigong standing meditation).

It must be said that cultivating the [Mind Monkey Will Horse Refining Technique] and becoming an Innate Martial Master in the secular martial arts world has many potential benefits.

For example, regarding immortal Dao cultivation techniques, spells, and divine abilities, although they are still things to be wary of, they are no longer forbidden.

Even if the imperial court or the Demon Suppression Division found out about secretly possessing such things, at most they would confiscate the treasures, reprimand him, and fine him, but it would not bring disaster.

Because of this, Master An Jishi readily agreed without hesitation after he requested to study the secret method of the spell [Wind Control].

"Wonderful, I never expected to learn another spell unintentionally."

Qiu Zhen was secretly delighted.

This [Wind Control] is a true flying immortal technique. Learning this technique allows one to fly through the air.

After studying it, he successfully learned this new spell.

Speaking of which, this [Wind Control] spell is more advanced than Bai Shu's Wind Control technique. When cultivated to a high level, it can be transformed into a "Wind Escape," which is a good divine ability for traveling and saving one's life.

Of course, learning the spell [Wind Control] does not mean that the lightness skill [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] taught by Master An Jishi is useless.

On the contrary, this [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] is exquisite and complements the spell [Wind Control].

Under normal circumstances, with the cultivation of a [Night Wandering God], the Yin Spirit's use of [Wind Control] is extremely powerful, but if it is used to control the wind to lift the physical body to fly, it is extremely reluctant.

It can only fly, but it doesn't fly fast.

Only when the Daoist cultivation level is raised to the [Day Wandering God], or even the [Qi Driving Spirit Wandering God] realm, can the power of the spell [Wind Control] be truly unleashed.

He learned both the [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping] skill and mastered the spell [Wind Control]. With the power of divine sense and the power of the physical body working together, he has extremely high skill in the [Wind Control] path.

With Qiu Zhen's full burst, he can probably walk sideways at the level of Innate Martial Masters and Yin Spirit experts, coming and going freely.

After finishing his morning practice, Qiu Zhen had breakfast with Master An Jishi, Shiniang Nan Zhiyi, and others.

Then, he followed Senior Brother Tong Yuncong and Senior Sister Yu Lanyin out of the city and headed straight for the Medicine King Valley's residence to pay respects to the Medicine King Valley's sect master.

As for An Huayu, he has not become Innate and does not have the qualifications to go out and do things. He still needs to hone himself.

The Medicine King Valley's plan to set up a stronghold in Qingmu was not a temporary idea, but a long-planned one, and they had already selected a suitable residence.

Once the Medicine King Valley's sect master arrives, the new residence of the mountain gate will be officially established.

"Giddy up!"

The three rode horses and galloped on the official road.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, why are your noses and faces bruised? You were fine yesterday during the day, why do you look like this today?"

Qiu Zhen was curious.

Last night, Master An Jishi took him to the study to give him pointers.

After that, he focused on studying the spell [Wind Control] and the skill [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping], and he really didn't know what happened outside.

Originally, he wanted to ask in the An residence, but there were too many people, and he didn't want to open his mouth.

"This..."

Tong Yuncong and Yu Lanyin looked embarrassed, and couldn't say anything.

Say they fell while practicing [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping]?

That's too embarrassing.

When Junior Brother learned this technique, his face and body were delicate and tender, and he wasn't hurt at all. Master praised him repeatedly, but they fell with bruised noses and swollen faces.

Yu Lanyin thought for a while and asked instead of answering:

"Junior Brother, did you really learn [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping]?"

Qiu Zhen's mind was sharp. When he heard Senior Sister ask about [Wind Riding and Mist Stepping], he quickly vaguely guessed how the bruises on his senior brothers and sisters' faces came about.

Immediately, he regretted opening his mouth. Wasn't this poking at their sore spot?

His senior brothers and sisters treated him well, and gave him generous gifts as soon as they met.

Immediately, he thought about it and said:

"I just have a slight understanding of the path, and I still need to practice. I can't be considered to have learned it."

"This..."

Tong Yuncong and Yu Lanyin looked at each other, their hearts filled with surprise.

Have an understanding of the path?

They didn't doubt that Junior Brother was deceiving them. If he hadn't really understood the key, Master wouldn't have been so happy and become so confident, vowing to teach them.

It's just...

This matter is probably not an isolated case, and there will definitely be similar things happening in the future.

When they thought of their master's "confident" teaching, they couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle, and they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts and lament in unison.

Junior Brother misled us!
