Martial research master

Lu Ming was currently in his teacher's dwelling. The first elder was the most mysterious character in the sect and Long Tao could easily understand why. A mid-rank Qi king was a huge power figure in these back-ward regions. As dictated by him, Lu Ming came back to meet after he had broken through the Qi master realm. Seeing Lu Ming, the first elder was shocked at first. He felt a sense of power when seeing Lu Ming, something that Qi masters who has just broken through don't radiate. His disciple was someone who was clad in mystery, and he let him be. According to their bet, he had one year to prove his efficiency while practicing all the three paths of healing, offensive and alchemy arts." So, you have managed to break through the Qi master level. But you took more time than expected.". Long Tao was silent the whole time. He knew his master was going to persuade him to focus solely on the path of pill-making. "This is just the truth of the cultivation world. Even genius might run into a wall sometime and it is better if you walk just a single type of path." Although he wanted to try and persuade Long Tao a little bit more, the expression Long Tao showed forced him into a helpless situation. This was the first disciple of his who was so troublesome. "Master I know that you want the best path for me, but I too have my own ideas of paving a path for myself. If you want to force something on me, although I won't be able to resist, you will be undermining my future. Please let me decide on the path I will walk, and find my own martial way.". The first elder sighed a long breath and asked Long Tao to sit.

"Since it is your choice and one you are supposed to make, I wouldn't interfere in it. The pill hall is a power proficient in three primary areas. Pill making, offensive fire arts, and Healing arts which requires one to be compatible with the wood element. Since you want to walk on all three paths, you will need to have compatibility with two basic elements, fire, and wood. Your natural body type is a pioneer in both the types and hence you are eligible to walk on these three paths. If you ask about the path of healings and wood type energy is not my strong ground, and hence the best person to teach you that will be someone else.". "May I know the person's identity.". The first elder nodded" You will in the near future, but now we are to concentrate on the other two parts. The path of offensive fire arts and Alchemy."

"Both the path has a common first step, that is an affinity towards the fire. The second step is crucial and also common. It is the control of fire. Fire is a fickle form of energy. Under perfect control, it can do wonders, but it is also a catalyst and medium of destruction once it leaves your control. So, you need to establish good control of the fire energy you use. Now the most basic flame is the one we normally find. You will begin with that. You are going to try to maintain the flame's power first.". Long Tao saw a normal flame appearing in front of him. "You will start injecting your Qi into it and will try to maintain it to as long as you can. Now before starting to perform the task, I first need to know your basic limits. You will do a test run first and we will see what the amount of your Qi capacity is.". Long Tao felt a little awkward this time. He knew that he basically7 had an upper hand in this region due to his Origin avatar art, but he didn't want to cheat. He wanted to improve the individual avatar's ability. Hence, he decided to use the single avatar's Qi storage to the max. expenditure. Now Long Tao's achievements and body type already had him have an advantage over the cultivators of his stage. He was sure that his ability was at least equal to that of 4 to 5 people combined. This was because of his body, and the arts he practiced. The process started.

The first elder was watching the whole scene from a distance away. Suddenly a beautiful figure appeared beside him. "I didn't expect you to come and watch the initial test like this.". The figure gave out a smile and said" I had to because this event here is going to let me have a glimpse of the present achievement of my junior brother. ". The figure was a disciple of the first elder. One would not be surprised by that. The real surprising matter here was her cultivation. It was at the initial Qi King Level. The first elder had a disciple who had such an accomplishment. It showed the abilities he possessed. "The boy is the one I stake my reputation on last bit of hope upon.". The figure was surprised on hearing this" What made you accept him as a disciple. I do know that your standards are sky high, and even they fail to live up to your expectations. But you are pitting your last hope onto him means he is somewhat special. What made you so sure about it.". The first elder looked at the figure and said" Do you know what his current cultivation level is". "He had just broken through the Qi master level.". "Can you guess his current achievements in soul state and alchemy."." The first stage of alchemy is all about mixing some pills. The real things start in the second stage. You training him means that he is currently in the beginning of the second stage alchemists, which is impressive, but not uncommon. As per his soul stage, I think it would be in the second stage beginning, the soul child level.". The first elder remained silent throughout the assessment of his disciple. Then he gave out a short laugh when he heard the last comment." The boy was in advance level soul child realm when I had last checked. After he broke through, I think he is already in the soul master level.". The amount of the figure gaped upon hearing this. Soul master level, when he just broke through the Qi master. This was unknown to the world until now. "Seems like you picked up an alchemy genius". "He might have the capability of a genius, but his mindset is something that would hinder his future if you might ask me.". "What does the teacher mean?". "Your junior brother informed me that he is going to walk all three paths. He wants to practice alchemy along with healing and firearms.". The figure showed a disgruntled expression." This is bullshit. You need to force him to the

right path.". "First thing, forcing him will limit his future and harm it in a very negative way. Second, your brother is not as simple as you assume. His backing, if I assume correctly, should at least be a high-level Qi king or even a Qi Emperor. The figure looked at Lu Ming with interest now. So, this junior brother of her was not a simple figure at the very least. He wanted to uncover more about her junior brother from her master, but an idea suddenly hit her mind." Master, want to bet as to how long Junior brother can hold the flame for with his Qi". The first elder was watching Long Tao's current situation at the time and said" what the all-time record of the alchemy's history.". "For the first trial, it is around, 2 days for a practitioner at QI master realm, and he was at 2nd level of Qi master."." Then I would put my stakes on your junior brother surpassing that time.". The figure giggled at the mention of the record. The one that held the record was a genius pill cultivator who is currently the leader of the grand power that backs Pill hall. That figure is a power that has unknown origins as well as power which can't be estimated. It is a legend among the alchemists to be able to surpass the achievement of that figure. "Then I would bet the flame dragon cauldron that I obtained from the ancient ruins.". "What do you want in return?". The figure speculated the details about her master's belongings and said" How about the map regarding that thing. I always wanted to have one for myself. Also, you have two. I think the map is worth to be betted against my cauldron." The map that the figure was talking about was for a flame, whose power was unknown to date.

"I would accept the bet if you add one more thing to it.". The figure's interest was intrigued. "You will have to marry him in case you lose. What do you say."? The figure was speechless, and suddenly an irritated blush appeared on the face. " Too scared to bet are you?". " Fine let's watch the process. My requirements for a groom is very high. Her need to last at least double the time of the record if he wants to have me.". The first elder laughed and said," Accepted.". The figure got a feeling that she might have fallen into a well-laid trap. Although she couldn't discern what the feeling was about, she started watching the process carefully.
