Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies
Chapter 194 - 20 Refining Points! There's No Martial Arts Too Difficult for Me to Master

A drop of ink dripped from Shen Qing's sight, like ink falling into water, swirling into a mass, then slowly converging into lines of text.

[Skill: To Recognize Characters and Read (Great Perfection)]

[Progress: 502/500 points]

[Status: Can be enhanced]

[Note: Filled with knowledge, you will naturally shine. After a long period of study, you have accumulated enough knowledge, and quantity has triggered a qualitative change. Once you enhance and break through again, you will comprehend the path of literature and master a new skill of literary lineage.]

Shen Qing felt joy in his heart as he gazed at the information before him.

He hadn't expected to skillfully advance the skill of [To Recognize Characters and Read] after just two days of arduous study.

Shen Qing chuckled, letting his consciousness settle on the Water Ink Panel: "Enhance!"

At the moment he initiated the breakthrough consciousness, the text on the Water Ink Panel rapidly refreshed.

[Skill: Academic Pursuit (Entry Level)]

[Progress: 2/600 points]

[Status: Cannot be enhanced]

[Note: Abandon and persist, even rotten wood won't snap; adhere and endure, gold and stones can be engraved. With continuous learning, you have moved beyond the stage of recognizing characters and reading, beginning your academic pursuit. Now, you can not only memorize what you have learned simply but also integrate and articulate it seamlessly.]

"Integrate and articulate seamlessly?!"

Shen Qing's heart trembled.

He remembered something, hurriedly guarding his mind.

The next moment, a torrent of memory rushed into his mind without giving him any chance to react.

Fortunately, he was already familiar with such scenarios, and after feeling a bout of dizziness in his head, Shen Qing calmed down.

After a while, Shen Qing gradually digested the experience and memory of his diligent quest for knowledge, and his consciousness became increasingly clear.

At this moment, he realized that all the martial arts he had learned in the Martial Arts Hall over the past two days were entirely within his grasp.

No need for pen and paper, nor deliberate recollection, all the martial arts he had seen were readily at hand.

Shen Qing was instantly overjoyed.

This trip to the Martial Arts Hall was definitely worth it, with its exquisite martial arts that he could teach to Tian Xiaohu and the others upon returning.

Helping them avoid detours and quickly improve their strength, they could become somewhat capable of self-protection in the future.

It was said that in the Capital City, there was also the Imperial Armory, which housed supreme martial arts that could unravel illusions and accomplish the Path of Immortality.

He wondered what wonderful things would happen if he learned and memorized all the armory's teachings.

Shen Qing gathered these thoughts of idle reverie and walked home with joy.

Upon arriving home, he found the autumn day still bright.

Shen Qing used the fundamental medicine formula left by Li Linfeng earlier, combined with the Eagle Demon's core, to concoct a medicinal soup.

When night fell and all was silent, as Shen Qing concentrated his spirit.

He quietly got out of bed, leaned against the window, gently pushed, and the ancient window lattice opened with a sound. A breeze blew in from outside.

Outside the window, a bright autumn moon hung high in the sky.

Silver light bathed everything, and the moonlight flowed quietly over Shen Qing, adding an ethereal and extraordinary aura to him.

"At the hour of Zi, when yin and yang converge, the moonlight reaches its peak, making it a good time for practicing the initial chapter of the Sky Flipping Seal."

Shen Qing was slightly puzzled about the timing required for practicing the Sky Flipping Seal.

All the martial arts he had previously practiced focused only on the tempering of qi and blood, never having such strange requirements, but he still followed the advice.

Seeing everything was ready, Shen Qing swallowed the prepared medicinal soup.

He took a deep breath, and as the medicine's power unfolded, his qi and blood began to surge, with warm currents flowing and circulating within his body.

As recorded in the Sky Flipping Seal, Shen Qing slowly lifted his hands, awkwardly forming various hand seals.

He chanted incantations, directing the inner Qi to move along specific trajectories, converging in his palms.

As time passed, Shen Qing became increasingly skillful in forming the hand seals.

Gradually, he seemed to sense a subtle force in heaven and earth responding to his call, echoing with his Qi.

Outside the window, the moonlight seemed to sense Shen Qing's training aura too, its glow becoming more bright and clear, silently enveloping Shen Qing, like draping him in a magnificent cloak.

Shen Qing was immersed in the world of cultivation, completely forgetting everything around.

His every move and every breath matched the rhythm of the moonlight, as if he had merged into the vastness of heaven and earth.

Who knows how much time had passed, Shen Qing suddenly woke up, and familiar water ink text appeared in his vision.

[Skill: Sky Flipping Seal (Entry Level)]

[Progress: 1/400 points]

Shen Qing's eyebrow twitched; he found that the experience points required for the Sky Flipping Seal were higher, many times over, than any skill he had learned before.

This meant he would have to spend more effort and time to enhance this martial art, breaking through its bottleneck.

The difficulty of practicing the Sky Flipping Seal was now evident.

"So it's like this, huh?"

Just at that moment, Shen Qing noticed a red ink reminder on the Water Ink Panel: [Detected similar martial art "Wind Defying Finger," would you like to refine, extract its martial arts points to fill a new martial art?]

"Refine points, fill?!"

Shen Qing's eyes widened, staring at this line of water ink text, continuously confirming several times before realizing this wasn't an illusion.

To Shen Qing, the term "refine" wasn't unfamiliar.

Simply put, it meant to refresh, to change attributes anew.

Unexpectedly, his Water Ink Panel that enhanced proficiency actually had such a capability.

Shen Qing suppressed his excitement, licked his lips, and immediately had a determined thought.

[Wind Defying Finger refined successfully, extracting 100+200+300+400+500+312... 1812 points.]

[Fill into Sky Flipping Seal?]

Fill! Fill!

Without any hesitation, Shen Qing allocated all the refined points entirely to the Sky Flipping Seal's ancestor.

"Come, Water Ink Panel, show me your limits?"

Just after Shen Qing had the last thought, the numbers for the Sky Flipping Seal on the Water Ink Panel jumped like a gas pump screen, eventually stabilizing.

[Skill: Sky Flipping Seal (Small Success)]

[Progress: 12/800 points]

[Status: Cannot be enhanced]

[Note: Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only possessed talents beyond the ordinary but also unwavering perseverance. Your past persistent practice was not wasted, you grasp the essence entirely, and now you have cultivated this art to the Small Success Realm, capable of drawing a certain amount of Heaven and Earth Essence for personal use, defeating formidable foes.]

Succeeded?!

My Golden Finger turned out to be this powerful!

This way, for me, as long as I use it properly, there's no martial art in this world that's hard to practice!

None!

Boom!

While Shen Qing was ecstatic, his consciousness felt like it was struck by a heavy hammer, causing him to groan in pain while clutching his head.

Careless, he was just overjoyed and forgot this one detail.

Segments of strenuous cultivation memories continuously emerged.

It took an entire stick of incense's time for this strangeness to gradually fade away.

Shen Qing, feeling the memories in his mind, his expression gradually grew serious.

"The power of the Sky Flipping Seal is immense. My cultivation in the Qi Cultivation Realm is somewhat insufficient. I must find a way to advance to the Qi Hai Realm as soon as possible."
