Lin Qiubai flipped his palm, and a page of Golden Paper obtained from the Beast Taming Sect fell into his hand. Common Grade Low-Level Martial Arts: Dual Wielding.
Although it seemed unremarkable, it was painstakingly created by the Third Generation Sect Master. Moreover, it was classified as a Special Item by the Heavenly Path Payment System.
There must be hidden benefits to discover!
“Dual Wielding... Dual Wielding... If every cell in my body could produce Vital Energy like the marrow of Holy Bone at all times, wouldn't that be incredibly extraordinary?”
Lin Qiubai's heart raced, startled by this bold idea.
“Spirit of the Weapon, let me ask you, is there a martial artist in this world who can Dual Wield, comprehend Martial Arts while handling daily trivial matters, and walk through Bustling City as if in Closed Door Training?”
Hearing Lin Qiubai's imaginative inquiry, the spirit of the weapon rolled its eyes in disdain. “Comprehending Martial Arts and closed-door training both require undivided attention. Diverting focus to manage other trivial matters will lead to Backlash or even Going Astray!”
Upon hearing this, a chill ran down Lin Qiubai's spine.
Fortunately, he had asked beforehand; otherwise, if he had rashly attempted Dual Wielding, he might have been severely injured by now.
However, that idea was truly tempting. Lin Qiubai was unwilling to give up and continued to press for answers:
“Isn't there an exception?”
The spirit of the weapon pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
“There are indeed exceptions. A hundred thousand years ago, there was a Saint Venerable.”
He is a conjoined twin, possessing two heads.
As a result, he can cultivate while simultaneously comprehending Martial Arts. An ordinary practitioner of the Supreme Heavenly Dao can master at most two techniques, but he is able to master four!
His combat power is extraordinarily terrifying, unparalleled in an era, truly fearsome. This person is the one who led the rise of the Evil Cultivators and destroyed a divine kingdom, causing rivers of blood to flow across thirty continents—Tian Xie Supreme.
Conjoined twin!
Tian Xie Supreme!
Lin Qiubai murmured, his pupils constricting slightly.
"You must not recklessly attempt this. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe; there are countless records of Going Astray, and numerous prodigies have perished here."
Lin Qiubai nodded.
"Perhaps I can try drawing a circle with my left hand and a square with my right? No, why not take advantage of the array techniques of the Supreme Heavenly Dao? I could sketch a sealing formation with my left hand and a gathering formation with my right."
Trying it out should be fine!
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Qiubai. Given his aptitude for array techniques in the Supreme Heavenly Dao, the chances of failure leading to Backlash are extremely low; it’s worth a shot.
Moreover, sketching formations can also promote the circulation of vital energy within his body at a high intensity. It is an excellent method for cultivation.
With this thought in mind, Lin Qiubai began to move forward with the caravan while simultaneously sketching in the void with both hands…
However, even though he specializes in array techniques of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, the lines drawn by his fingertips never lasted more than ten breaths. Often after taking two steps, they would quickly collapse into chaotic spiritual energy and vanish into the void.
"Just save yourself the trouble. After so many years, there's only one person who can Dual Wield. You might as well spend this time understanding Martial Arts."
The weapon spirit couldn't bear to watch any longer and coldly criticized.
"I still want to give it a try."
Lin Qiubai was determined, refusing to turn back until he hit a wall, and continued to strive forward.
...
The desert sand was like snow, and the moon over the Yanshan Mountains resembled a hook.
After a day of travel, dusk gradually descended.
The Caravan found a Mountain Valley, with camels surrounding the outer edges while one hundred forty-three people gathered in the center of the valley.
The accompanying Second-Rank Array Master immediately set up a concealment Formation and a simple defensive Formation to prevent the Caravan from being disturbed by Scorpions, Lizards, poisonous snakes, and other venomous creatures at night.
Within the Formation, the members of the Caravan began to set up cooking equipment and prepare dinner.
A girl who had been hiding in the cart finally left her vehicle and sat down in front of the fire.
Her Purple Long Skirt wrapped around her graceful figure, tightly accentuating her curves and bust, almost as if it were about to tear apart.
Many men swallowed hard, their pants feeling tight as they awkwardly bent over to work, their postures stiff.
However, the Venomous Insect beast depicted on the silver mask covering her left face acted like a bucket of ice water poured over the burning desires of the men, calming them down considerably.
Lin Qiubai strategically admired the scene for a moment before taking out his cooking utensils, preparing to cook a delicious meal.
He had a ring specifically designed to hold firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar, and various meats and vegetables...
However, the marinated meat was too tough and lacked flavor when grilled.
Lin Qiubai took the Viper from his Storage Ring, gutted it, washed away the blood, and sliced its firm muscle into thin pieces.
The Viper meat was as white as snow, with no fat at all, consisting entirely of tender, chewy lean meat.
He threaded the slices onto a silver skewer and placed it over the cooking utensils, slowly turning it as the flames curled the meat slightly. A sweet and fragrant steam gradually rose.
Lin Qiubai clicked his tongue in appreciation.
From time to time, he brushed on some golden Sesame Oil or sprinkled a few crushed spices.
After ten minutes, the aroma of grilled meat filled the air.
Several hungry gazes fell upon the glistening meat slices, accompanied by sounds of swallowing.
However, Lin Qiubai had no intention of sharing. With a flick of his fingers, two hidden formations concealed the cooking utensils. Only then did he leisurely pick up a skewer of grilled meat and indulge himself, golden oil dripping from the corners of his mouth.
His voracious eating drew envious looks from those around him.
"Can I have a taste?"
The Flirting Technique was indeed effective; a blushing girl sitting by the campfire approached Lin Qiubai. Clearly drawn in by the delicious food.
Lin Qiubai handed over a skewer of grilled meat.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. After all, I'm just following the Caravan."
Lin Qiubai's response was neither warm nor cold, carrying a sense of distance.
"My name is Li Mingyan. May I ask your name, sir?"
"A man should not change his name or surname. I am called Cao Zhendong!"
Lin Qiubai replied dismissively, then stuffed the grilled meat into his mouth.
The Viper meat was smooth and tender, soaked in enough Sesame Oil and spices, filling every cell with its aroma. With a gentle chew, the flavor danced around his tongue, indescribably delightful.
"Can I have some more?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai handed Li Mingyan a few more skewers of grilled meat.
Li Mingyan ate very gracefully, taking small bites. The sensual red on her lips was smeared with Sesame Oil, resembling the most luxurious lip gloss, utterly tempting.
However, what made Li Mingyan Heart race slightly was that Lin Qiubai's attention had never strayed from the grilled meat.
In front of him was a stunning woman with an alluring figure, yet he remained completely focused! He didn't even seem curious about why she wore half a mask.
Seeing Lin Qiubai so unnervingly calm, Li Mingyan pursed her lips. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that Lin Qiubai had already put away the cooking utensils and was preparing to find a place to sleep.
Li Mingyan: "..."
"Do you need a tent?"
She quickly asked.
"Thank you, but I don't need one."
Lin Qiubai waved his hand. After setting up some formations, he sat down cross-legged and continued his cultivation.
In the stillness of the night, Lin Qiubai suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the gorge, where the butler and Li Mingyan were standing at the entrance.
Li Mingyan's wine-red wavy long hair swayed in the night breeze, and her silver mask glimmered with a faint light.
"Did you hear the noise too?"
Lin Qiubai nodded.
"I heard the butler say that although your realm is at the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Realm, your combat power is something even the butler does not underestimate. So, could I ask you for a favor?"
As Li Mingyan spoke, she began to remove her mask...
The left side of her face, previously concealed by the mask, slowly revealed itself to the air, causing Lin Qiubai to gasp in surprise.
