The techniques Wan Qian and Fang Yuan practiced belonged to the same category as the nine-turns rod technique, so it was not difficult to understand by analogy.
When Fang Yuan was defending, she did not find any problems.
But when she saw his abnormally strong rod technique, she immediately found the reason.
“Something that is too hard is easy to break, if it’s too soft it is decadent. The first half of this sentence is very suitable for you.”
Wan Qian began to explain some of his problems with the nine-turns rod technique.
To be more precise, it was Fang Yuan’s wrong understanding of the nine-turns rod technique.
Although the nine-turns rod technique was a powerful technique that could greatly increase the user’s ability in one aspect, it did not mean that one would have to abandon techniques and pursue extreme strength or speed in order to practice it.
If one’s strength was enough and there was no harmony between speed and technique, one would appear clumsy and dull.
If one’s speed was enough and there was no strength, there would be no lethality.
Therefore, if one wanted to master the nine-turns rod technique, one had to control the balance between the two.
Fang Yuan’s problem was that he was too straightforward, thinking of killing the enemy with one move.
However, as long as he met a true expert, he would be full of flaws and would instead become the target of one move.
After receiving Wan Qian’s guidance, Fang Yuan suddenly understood it and his understanding of the nine-turns rod technique deepened.
However, it would not be able to break through in a short period of time.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wan Qian did not want to stay in Fang Yuan’s courtyard any longer, so she said her goodbyes.
“Let’s call it a day. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Fang Yuan cupped his hands. “Thank you for your hard work, Senior.”
Why did these words not sound sincere at all?
Wan Qian rolled her eyes and did not say anything as she left.
Fang Yuan did not care. He entered the room and started to prepare for the fusion of the Jade Skin Gu and the White Boar Gu.
Gu refinement was a method that every Gu master had to learn.
This process was very complicated, and there could not be any mistakes during the process, otherwise, the Gu worm’s cultivation would regress, or it would die on the spot. The price was extremely high.
But Fang Yuan had even refined the legendary Golden Silkworm Gu.
Refining a Jade Skin Gu was naturally not a difficult task.
The next morning, when Wan Qian knocked on the door again, Fang Yuan had just successfully refined the two.
[Ding! Your Gu worms Jade Skin Gu and White Boar Gu have been successfully refined, evolving into White Jade Gu (Copper!)]
[Your White Jade Gu’s original skill has been evolved, its defense has greatly increased!]
That’s right!
The Iron Skin Gu caught up and surpassed the Moonlight Gu and Drunken Gu, becoming his fourth Bronze grade Gu worm.
After the feedback, the increase was also very significant.
Fang Yuan’s muscles swelled once again, and his body already had the shape of a muscular and handsome man.
Adding on the Gu wine provided by the Drunken Gu for so long, it improved his physique.
Right now, his skin was much brighter, almost the same as beauties like Yu Bing and Wan Qian.
Opening the door, Wan Qian, who was wearing a long green dress, made his eyes light up.
This outfit was much more approachable compared to her white dress yesterday.
It seemed that the corners of her brows were also decorated with makeup, making her look more exquisite.
“Senior, I feel like you have changed today.”
“Is that so?”
Wan Qiantan opened her mouth slightly and glanced at the stone under her feet. She kicked it lightly and breathed like an orchid. “Maybe it’s because I’ve changed into a new set of clothes.”
Fang Yuan smiled. “You’re much prettier.”
Wan Qian did not speak anymore. The redness crawled from her cheeks to her ears.
Fang Yuan moved aside and invited her in.
The two of them continued to spar in the courtyard.
After yesterday’s guidance, Fang Yuan had already understood where his problem lay. Naturally, he would repeat his mistakes and lose in a single move.
Actual combat was the fastest way to accumulate battle experience.
Fang Yuan looked at the nine-turns sword technique that Wan Qian used and gradually gained some understanding in his heart.
He seemed to have understood how to practice the nine-turns rod technique.
There was no time for cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
When both of them were drenched in sweat, the system’s bell finally rang in Fang Yuan’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have cultivated the nine-turns rod technique to perfection!]
It’s here!
After training with Wan Qian for so long, he finally broke through!
Fang Yuan was overjoyed. Every revolution of rank nine staff technique had increased by fifteen times.
Now that he had cultivated to perfection, it was an increase of a hundred and forty-five times his strength.
With just one strike, even a second layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master with a rank three defensive Gu worm would not be able to withstand it.
“Junior, Congratulations.”
Seeing that Fang Yuan had successfully broken through, Wan Qian’s face also showed some joy, “It seems that after tomorrow, I will be able to see you in the inner sect.”
“Tomorrow?” Fang Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
“Tomorrow afternoon, the outer sect competition will be officially held. Did you not check at the notice board?”
“Eh…”
Fang Yuan really did not know that he did not have the habit of paying attention to the sect’s information at all times.
Wan Qian rolled her eyes at Fang Yuan snappily and said, “You are too careless. If I had not come to inform you, Junior, wouldn’t you have waited until next year to advance to the inner sect?”
Fang Yuan smiled embarrassedly and asked, “Senior, can you tell me about the content of the outer sect competition?”
“Actually, there are no changes in the outer sect competition every year. Basically, it is just the three parts of raising, refining, and using Gu. After the selection, the most outstanding one hundred people who also use the shortest amount of time can join the inner sect.”
This was not a secret.
Wan Qian told him directly.
“Is that so…”
Fang Yuan thought about it, and it did not sound too difficult.
But there were many outer sect disciples.
There were at least tens of thousands of people participating in the outer sect competition this time.
With such a large number of people, there would definitely be a lot of competition.
The Gu Immortal Sect had many talents. There might be a bunch of geniuses in the outer sect that were not weaker than inner sect disciples.
“Junior, don’t worry.” Wan Qian said confidently. “With your aptitude and strength, you are either number one or number two in the outer sect. It is not difficult.”
“Yes, I will be relying on Senior’s words.”
With Wan Qian’s words, Fang Yuan was relieved: “Senior, do you have anything to do later?”
“There is nothing that I have to deal with, what is it?”
“Since that’s the case, would you be so kind as to have a simple meal with your junior? I’d like to ask you about your cultivation level.”
Wan Qian’s heart suddenly slowed down by half a beat.
This…
Was this a date?
In the past, many male cultivators had sent her such invitations.
Wan Qian didn’t feel any psychological burden when she rejected them.
But for some reason.
This time, faced with Fang Yuan’s invitation, the words of rejection that she had blurted out in the past were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Fang Yuan waited for a while but did not receive an answer. He then changed his words and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s not possible. After all, a breakthrough also depends on one’s talent. It’s not something that can be understood with just a few pointers.”
Wan Qian’s thoughts were pulled back to reality by Fang Yuan’s words.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Fang Yuan’s sincere smile. She did not say anything and turned around to walk out of the door.
After waiting for a while, when she realized that Fang Yuan did not follow her, so she turned her head to look back.
“Didn’t you say that you would treat me to a meal? Why aren’t you coming out?”
“I’m coming.”
Fang Yuan smiled indifferently and chased after her.
