Chapter 575: Slay the Demon

Chapter 575 -248: Slay the Demon

Qin Fang nodded slightly. “The structure of each layer of the Abyss Water Armor seems the same, but there are actually slight differences. The True Essence must be thicker at some key points and thinner at others. In this way…”

He gave a few simple pointers.

But even those few words were enough for the disciple to benefit immensely. A look of sudden realization dawned on his face…

…The other disciples watched, their eyes lighting up one by one.

‘…Senior Brother Qin is the Sect’s renowned ‘Famous Teacher,’ after all!’

Their hearts stirred with anticipation.

As soon as that disciple stepped back, another eagerly yet nervously asked, “Senior Brother, could… could you give me some pointers?”

Qin Fang glanced over. “Celestial River Reversal?”

“Yes…” the disciple replied, his face filled with apprehension.

“Activate it and let me see,” Qin Fang said with a nod after a moment’s thought.

“Yes!” The disciple’s eyes lit up with joy as he immediately activated the Cultivation Technique…

“Hmm, there are issues with how you’re exerting your True Essence in several places. It’s too rigid here. Celestial River Reversal emphasizes a continuous, unending flow, not a momentary burst of power…”

He pointed twice, seemingly at random.

The disciple’s entire body shuddered. He instantly felt the bottleneck that had plagued him for days shatter completely!

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”

He was ecstatic. Although he desperately wanted his Senior Brother to continue his guidance, he knew better than to be greedy. He bowed deeply and stepped aside.

“Senior Brother…”

Another disciple approached tentatively.

Qin Fang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry… But after a moment’s thought, he didn’t refuse them.

‘…These disciples will soon have to fight for their lives against the demons in Jinlan Prefecture. This might be last-minute cramming, but if their strength can increase even a little, it might mean a few less deaths in the battles to come…’

‘…So many of our sect-mates died in the battle at Jiulian Island. Recalling that day’s scene, Qin Fang’s heart ached.’

‘…Oh well. I’m not doing anything else anyway. I might as well give them some pointers.’

The disciples from various lineages who had a Profound Water Nature all grew excited… Those who cultivated Celestial River Reversal and Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor were especially thrilled… After all, who didn’t know that Senior Brother Qin was a master of those two Leaf Skills?

And under his guidance, nearly every one of them made gains. While not all of them broke through a Small Realm, they all benefited immensely, and their combat prowess saw an immediate increase.

This made many disciples with other Natures burn with envy…

“Why don’t I have a Profound Water Nature…”

“Ah, I don’t practice either of those two Leaf Skills…”

And the disciples with a Profound Water Nature who didn’t practice those two particular Leaf Skills were scratching their heads in frustration.

Out of more than three hundred disciples in total, perhaps only forty or fifty had a Profound Water Nature. Of those, even fewer practiced those two specific Leaf Skills—only about twenty.

Soon, all of them had received a round of guidance from Qin Fang and moved to the side to excitedly absorb and consolidate their gains.

Then, one disciple, unwilling to give up, stepped forward and said tentatively, “Senior Brother, please give me your guidance.”

Qin Fang didn’t think much of it and nodded. “Activate your Cultivation Technique.”

The disciple gritted his teeth and activated his Cultivation Technique.

After just a single glance, Qin Fang raised an eyebrow. “This Leaf Skill… it’s not Celestial River Reversal, is it?”

The disciple was clearly using an Attack Leaf Skill.

The disciple replied apprehensively, “That’s correct…”

After a moment’s thought, Qin Fang said, “Hmm, since it isn’t Celestial River Reversal, I’m not entirely familiar with the specific pathways for your True Essence circulation. However… I can see where the flow is sluggish. There are definitely some issues… When you attack, do you feel like your True Essence gets stuck, preventing you from smoothly unleashing your full power?”

The disciple’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes! Senior Brother, that’s exactly how it feels…”

He went on to describe the problem he was facing in detail.

Qin Fang nodded. “I can’t be sure if this is correct, but what if you slightly alter your circulation method at these specific points…”

Qin Fang casually pointed out the spots where he sensed the disciple’s True Essence stagnating, and then re-contextualized the flow based on his own understanding.

“It might be a little better.”

The disciple trembled from head to toe, his eyes shining with elation. “It’s true! The flow is so much smoother! …Thank you, Senior Brother! Thank you so much!”

He then hurried to the side.

The other disciples stared at one another, seeing the same shock reflected in each other’s eyes.

“Senior Brother Qin can give pointers on a Leaf Skill he doesn’t even know?!”

“That… That’s unbelievable!”

“It really looks like its power has increased!”

Their faces were filled with shock.

One disciple exclaimed in awe, “To master one thing is to understand all things! Leaf Skills may be endlessly varied, and their cultivation may require all sorts of supplementary aids. But the fundamental principles of True Essence circulation are all similar… Senior Brother Qin’s Talent for Leaf Skills is, at least within our Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, absolutely unprecedented. Even when faced with a brand new Leaf Skill he doesn’t practice himself, as long as he sees how the True Essence circulates, his understanding… will inevitably far surpass our own…”

Hearing this, all the disciples were completely stunned.

Someone murmured, “I’m in awe, truly in awe… Senior Brother Qin’s Talent…”

With this newfound understanding, the disciples’ enthusiasm completely erupted, and they all rushed to seek guidance from Qin Fang…

‘Was the Leaf Skill’s circulation complex? Difficult? Hard for them to understand on their own?’

No matter.

‘…They could just ask a genius to understand it for them!’

At first, it was just the disciples with a Profound Water Nature who came seeking guidance. The Leaf Skills they practiced were varied, and though Qin Fang had never cultivated them, it was just as the other disciple had said… To someone at his level, even a completely new Leaf Skill was something he could gain his own understanding of with just a single glance.

‘Did they really think the Epiphanies he’d gained after cultivating so many Leaf Skills were for nothing?’

In his Leaf Skill cultivation up to this point, he had lost count of the number of Epiphanies he’d had regarding defense, Body Techniques, and attacks.

And some principles were simply universal.

When they saw that Senior Brother Qin could even give pointers on Leaf Skills he’d never practiced, the disciples of other Natures couldn’t sit still any longer… Their Natures might be different, but what if it still worked?
