Before he could even greet Shen Yebai, Master Xuanjing took him back to the courtyard for special instruction.
True Master Xuanjing truly lived up to his reputation as the number one person below the Tribulation Transcending Realm. His powerful pressure was a suffocating feeling of absolute strength that Qin Moyu had never experienced before.
At first, Qin Moyu didn't want to use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, but the consequence of not using it was that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Xuanjing Zhenren and was completely on the defensive. After using the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, he could barely avoid being instantly killed, and the teaching session finally became more and more professional.
Master Xuanjing was most skilled in magic, but in order to train Qin Moyu, he used basic magic in battle. Gradually, Qin Moyu also discovered the wonders of these basic magics.
"Basic spells can be used as long as you know how to use spiritual energy, but it is precisely because they are so simple that they are easily overlooked." Master Xuanjing waved his hand, and countless fireballs appeared out of thin air, with rolling heat waves that distorted the air.
The fireball flew towards Qin Moyu as if it had eyes.
Qin Moyu struggled to dodge the fireballs in the rain of fireballs. Just as he retreated and dodged one, sharp spikes suddenly pierced out from his heel. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been in danger. But at the same time, he had to face the fireballs he had been dodging. He took a deep breath, and countless Crimson Lotus Karmic Flames suddenly appeared, engulfing the fireballs.
At the same time, strange patterns appeared on his face, becoming more and more conspicuous as he used the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, adding to his bewitching charm.
After the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire devoured the fireball, it did not stop. Instead, it rushed towards Xuanjing Zhenren like an arrow leaving the sky. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Xuanjing Zhenren. Just as it was about to collide with him, a wall of earth suddenly appeared, stubbornly blocking all the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire.
wrong!
Master Xuanjing keenly sensed something was wrong; the earthen wall was simply not strong enough to withstand the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
The body's fighting instincts kicked in faster than thought, and Master Xuanjing barely managed to block Qin Moyu's attack with the spiritual energy he had gathered.
These red lotus flames are fake; they were created to distract Master Xuanjing from his momentary loss of vision.
Before Xuanjing Zhenren was Qin Moyu's face, which was mostly covered by patterns. He could even see his own reflection in Qin Moyu's glassy eyes.
"The senior still found out."
Qin Moyu sighed, his spiritual energy surging, and he activated the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to shatter Xuanjing Zhenren's defenses, but it stopped a few feet away from Xuanjing Zhenren's chest, and no matter how he tried to push it, it couldn't advance even half an inch.
At the same time, an ice spike pierced through Qin Moyu's clothes at the shoulder, indicating that if Xuanjing Zhenren hadn't held back, Qin Moyu would already be dead.
"Sigh, I still can't beat him." Qin Moyu was a little discouraged. He pouted, withdrew the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and the patterns on his face disappeared instantly. As soon as he finished speaking, he was flicked on the head by Xuanjing Zhenren.
"Nonsense, if you could beat me with just a little practice, I'd have lived all this time for nothing." Master Xuanjing chuckled, then ruffled Qin Moyu's hair, seeing his lack of enthusiasm, and said, "But in just a few days you've gone from being beaten to being able to fight back. You've improved very quickly; given time, you'll definitely surpass me."
When Master Xuanjing used the identity of the old Taoist priest, because the old Taoist priest's strength was not high, he always guided Qin Moyu in theory. This could be regarded as a rare practical exercise for the master and disciple.
Qin Moyu was pleased to be flattered, chuckled twice, and happily accepted the praise.
Just as Master Xuanjing wanted to say a few more words to Qin Moyu, he caught a glimpse of Xuanqing approaching and walked over with some confusion.
He clearly said not to disturb him unless it's important, so Xuanqing's presence must be significant.
Sure enough, Xuanqing whispered a few words in Xuanjing Zhenren's ear. Xuanjing Zhenren frowned, thought for a while, and then called Qin Moyu over, instructing him, "I have something to take care of. You practice more here, and I'll tell you what the problem was when I get back."
Qin Moyu naturally agreed.
So Master Xuanjing left with Xuanqing, leaving Qin Moyu alone in the courtyard.
With no one around, Qin Moyu released a red lotus karmic fire.
He stretched out his finger to poke the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in his palm, but his finger passed right through the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
Everyone says that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is extremely cold, but Qin Moyu has never felt that coldness. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was just a beautiful and peculiar flower.
Moreover, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is special in that while other rare treasures are placed in the dantian, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire is planted in Qin Moyu's soul. There is a small Red Lotus Karmic Fire deep in Qin Moyu's soul. It is because of this that as long as Qin Moyu has enough spiritual energy, he can release endless Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
"Where did you come from?" Qin Moyu muttered to himself, his fingers continuing to poke at the Red Lotus Karmic Fire with resentment. Although he was an infant when he transmigrated, he didn't know if it was because infants were too weak, but his childhood memories were very vague. He also discovered the remnant soul and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire when he was a little older.
Although the old Taoist priest guessed that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was a byproduct that Qin Moyu had since birth, wasn't that too strange? Logically speaking, only demons would have byproducts. Qin Moyu was 100% certain that he was human, and that remnant soul was so powerful that it must have been a great figure in life, but there was still no clue.
Qin Moyu was still thinking when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Qin Moyu got up and went to the door, but hesitated for a moment and still didn't open it.
He would have opened it directly before, but after fighting with Xuanjing Zhenren these past few days, Qin Moyu realized that he had been too careless in the past, so he secretly resolved to be more cautious in the future.
"Mo Yu, it's me."
An unexpected yet perfectly logical voice.
Qin Moyu opened the door, and sure enough, it was Shen Yebai.
After not seeing him for a few days, Qin Moyu wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Shen Yebai had changed a little, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"Ye Bai, what brings you here?" Qin Moyu asked in surprise.
"I'm bringing you something, and I'd also like to ask you for some advice." Shen Yebai held up the food box in his hand, and the aroma of the food made Qin Moyu's eyes light up.
Qin Moyu then opened the door to let Shen Yebai in, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to open the food box.
Master Xuanjing knew that Qin Moyu was already able to abstain from food, so he didn't prepare any food for him. However, Qin Moyu couldn't resist his own cravings, but since they weren't in his own sect, he didn't have the heart to tell Master Xuanjing.
Shen Yebai didn't keep them in suspense and opened the food box directly.
The food box contained a few simple pastries. Although they were a bit rough, you could tell that the person who made them put a lot of effort into them.
"Try it." Shen Yebai picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to Qin Moyu's lips.
Qin Moyu didn't think much of it and took a bite.
The pastries had a delicate texture and were sweet but not cloying. Although they weren't particularly amazing, they suited Qin Moyu's taste perfectly.
"Delicious!" Qin Moyu never hesitated to praise food, and asked while eating, "Ye Bai, where did you buy this?"
Shen Yebai didn't answer immediately. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand, looked at Qin Moyu quietly, and chuckled softly, "Do you like it?"
