Chapter 34 - Scrolls

Behind all these things was another array. It looked the exact same. However, the number 1 had been replaced with a number 2. Zhou Xinqiu walked up to this array and placed her qi and a drop of blood inside. The array didn't spin and nothing disappeared, but It did glow for a second before returning back to its original dim state.

"Xinqiu, I'm not sure if my guess is correct but I think you can only open this array when you are stronger? Your mother might have prepared something for every step of your martial arts journey.." Qin Gong rubbed his beard in curiosity while examining the second array. "I'm still not sure how strong or what in particular the array is testing."

"My mom.. I will find her!" Zhou Xinqiu had a new sense of motivation and a smirk rose on her face. She then turned around and picked up the scrolls and jade slip on the podium of the first array and walked back to the entrance and picked up the sword and hanfu robe before exiting the spatial ring's space. Qin Gong stood in one place and watched Zhou Xinqiu in amusement while squinting his eyes before he too exited the space.

"Let's first take inventory of all these new things you have got. Four jade scrolls in the original box.. I believe three of them are divine martial techniques, two at the low earth tier and one at the mid earth tier. The fourth scroll seems to be a.." Qin Gong's pupils shrank as he looked at the fourth scroll. " Demonic Qi concealment method?!"

Zhou Xinqiu looked up at Qin Gong with a confused face. " A Qi concealment method can almost completely change the aura and appearance of one's Qi without changing the actual structure and abilities of the Qi at all. This means even any techniques that are used with demon Qi will have a different aura than usual making them almost completely indistinguishable! These Qi concealment techniques are extremely rare and most methods that have similar abilities to this harm the efficiency and power which are called Qi disguising techniques. This particular Qi Concealment technique looks like it was made with the goal of specifically disguising demon qi into heavenly yuan qi which is basically just a fancy name for the qi used in the human realm. Although it is quite a low tier, it should be able to last a few levels into the Qifu palace realm!

"waa so others wouldn't be able to know if I use a demon technique or human technique?"

"Yes! Exactly! Hahahaha!" Qin Gong laughed happily and put the scroll down before pointing at another scroll. "Open it!"

Zhou Xinqiu had a weird expression as she watched Qin Gong get excited about these techniques. She picked up the next scroll and opened it when a rush of information flew into her mind.

"Five Demonic Revolutions!" An image of a gigantic forest appeared in her mind. As she continued to view this image, a great Xuanwu (Black tortoise intertwined with a snake) grew out from under the trees. This Xuanwu was at least 2000 feet tall. Just as she looked at this Xuanwu, from the south another beast a 2000 foot Vermillion bird descended from the skies. on the west appeared a 2000 foot white tiger and on the west, an Azure dragon of the same size. The four great beasts gathered at the center of the forest and bowed down to a light that was beaming in the sky. A few seconds later, the beaming light manifested into a Great Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon coiled around the forest like a serpent before letting out an earth-shattering roar. The vision ended and Zhou Xinqiu once again saw the scroll. It now had legible writing on it.

First Revolution: Unbreaking Guard of the Xuanwu

Second Revolution: Corporeal stride of the White tiger

Third Revolution: Trampling foot of the Azure Dragon

Fourth Revolution: Descending Talons of the Vermillion Bird

Fifth Revolution: Solid Fist of the Yellow Dragon

Qin Gong looked at the scroll in thought before he spoke, "This technique is of the low earth tier however, it seems to be a foundational technique which will allow you to have a better understanding of fighting styles in the future. Of course, I don't know the strength of this technique, but It will surely also be a strong offensive technique that you can use. This technique references the five great heavenly beasts which all beasts descended from. It looks like you must study these creatures in some form and use your resulting understanding to show this technique! How interesting… let's take a look at another technique shall we?" He once more smiled and pointed to another scroll.

Zhou Xinqiu was still in awe from the vision in her head when she picked up the next scroll. This scroll had an orange/red tint to it and felt warm to the touch when compared to the previous ones. She unlatched the lock and opened the scroll. A neutral flame enveloped the scroll slightly, this flame was orange in color and did not have any heat. Almost as if it was there for visual purposes only.

Zhou Xinqiu looked at Qin Gong and said "It's blank…? There's nothing on the scroll?" She shook the scroll but of course nothing happened.

Qin Gong laughed at her innocence then spoke "There is probably something else you have to d-"

"Insert your qi! Depending on your flame resonance you will be given a technique!" A voice spoke within the scroll. Qin Gong nodded and motioned her to listen.

Zhou Xinqiu pressed her palm onto the scroll and some Qi entered the scroll.

"Hmm ahhh waa" The voice made some weird noises before it spoke once more. "Your flame resonance is the highest this old spirit has seen! I shall give you the most interesting technique I have! It starts at the low earth tier… which might seem a little low~~ however…its final form reaches a level that even those past the soul transformation realm would covet with their lives. Its name might not be as extravagant as those made by those arrogant low level people, but mark my words, It's strength cannot be underestimated! For its name is The Forbidden Flame Mastery!"
