Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

```

"Breakthrough!"

A familiar feeling arrived as expected.

Shen Qing was not surprised at all, remaining fully focused.

In his vision, the information on the water ink panel jumped and refreshed rapidly.

[Skill: Dome Splitting Void Absolute Slash (Small Success)]

[Progress: 274/1000 points]

[Status: Cannot be improved]

Moments later, unfamiliar memories abruptly appeared in his mind.

Fortunately, he had already broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, and was a different person now, so this amount of memory did not affect him in the slightest.

Shen Qing carefully contemplated, digesting all the foreign memories.

At this moment, when he grasped the Thunder Abyss Treasure Saber again, he felt as if he had held it millions of times, a strong sense of familiarity welling up within him.

He twirled the saber, and suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed as blade light formed from lightning in the void and touched the formation.

The fierce saber light instantly shredded the isolating formation into pieces.

Shen Qing realized that it only took him a short time to grasp the essence of this martial art, and a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He glanced at the sky outside the window, immediately sheathed the saber, gently closed the book, and carefully hid it with Xue Zhao's Hundred Treasure Pouch.

Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, Shen Qing silently adjusted his breathing, and a stream of spiritual power like a clear spring flowed through his meridians, entering the extraordinary meridians and nourishing his muscle and bone that had been tempered all night.

His breathing became long and deep, continuously refining nature's spiritual energy during inhalation and exhalation to replenish himself.

In the early morning, as the dawn light revealed itself, it was the time when spiritual energy was most abundant.

Accompanied by the rising sun, a vigorous vitality was constantly gathering and sublimating within Shen Qing.

Under his mental direction, stars appeared at the acupoints all over his body, transforming into whirlpools, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be invisibly drawn, converging towards him and transforming into warm streams that penetrated his skin and merged into his bloodstream.

Finally, it gathered within his Qi Sea, transforming into thick and pure spiritual power.

This spiritual power circulated endlessly within him, like a rushing river, nourishing every inch of his muscle and bone and each piece of muscle, silently and steadily elevating his cultivation level.

Time quietly passed as Shen Qing immersed himself in cultivation.

When the first rays of morning light penetrated the crevice of the cultivation room, spilling onto his face, Shen Qing finally stopped.

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, showing no fatigue on his face, on the contrary, he was energetic and filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

After finishing his breakfast, Shen Qing, following Ji Zikong's instructions, headed to the Imperial Armory.

When he arrived at the Imperial Armory, Ji Bochu was already waiting at the entrance, which surprised him.

"Lord Shen." Ji Bochu spoke warmly, revealing his respect and expectation for Shen Qing, clasping his hands in salute: "I have arranged everything for you, just proceed directly to the fifth floor to handle only the martial masters there."

As everyone knows, even members of the Imperial Family must have a unique talent to be allowed into the Imperial Armory, if not extraordinary, it is difficult to gain entry.

Not to mention the martial masters who are not of the Ji surname, which is even more challenging.

Hence, the fifth floor appeared particularly empty, with very few martial masters.

Being there was equivalent to having nothing to do.

Shen Qing was a bit puzzled, but he wisely didn't ask more questions, merely nodding slightly and saying, "Thank you, Lord Ji, for taking such a trouble for me. If you have a moment, please visit my residence for a few drinks."

"Lord Shen, you are too kind, please!"

Ji Bochu gestured for Shen Qing to go ahead.

Shen Qing showed an overwhelmed expression, repeatedly declining several times before stepping into the Imperial Armory.

Under Ji Bochu's guidance, Shen Qing proceeded to the fifth floor.

Apart from the occasional sound of practice, he could hardly sense the presence of others, it was extremely quiet.

Ji Bochu instructed: "Lord Shen, you just need to stay here, and arrange if someone comes. If no one visits, feel free to cultivate yourself as well."

Ji Bochu seemed to have thought of something, hinting as he said, "Rest assured, I have made arrangements. There is a Spirit Eye here which is an excellent place for cultivation. Many have achieved success in cultivating Immortal Martial Techniques here. Perhaps you will greatly advance your cultivation too."

"This... the kindness of my lord, I, Shen, will never forget." Shen Qing "trembled with excitement," and his speech was somewhat incoherent.

Ji Bochu seemed quite pleased with this, patting Shen Qing on the shoulder before leaving confidently.

After Ji Bochu left, the "subservient" expression on Shen Qing's face gradually faded, and he turned around to survey his surroundings.

When he looked at the others, the martial masters on the fifth floor hastily averted their gaze.

That feeling was as if... they were monitoring him.

Shen Qing furrowed his brow, his gaze fell on a screen, and he walked over, fixing his gaze on the Saint Body Great Achievement Technique, pondering.

He reached out to pick it up, held it in front of him for a while, and thought to himself, "This technique appears quite remarkable overall, easy to get started with in the early stages, and its subsequent cultivation paths directly point to the Path of Immortality. Judging by various signs, Ji Bochu probably wants me to cultivate this Immortal Martial Technique."

However, Shen Qing dared not risk recklessly cultivating it, fearing it might bring misfortune.

On the floor of the Imperial Armory.

Ji Bochu gave instructions to the attendants on both sides: "By the Emperor's order, the fifth floor of the Armory shall remain closed for the time being, no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes, my lord."

After instructing, Ji Bochu nodded in satisfaction, and strode back to the Imperial Armory.

Sitting behind the screen, Shen Qing connected the dots with the potential changes in the Capital, anticipating attacks from the Huangtian Sect, the impending storm; he couldn't afford any lenience.

As for what Ji Bochu and the others were really planning to do, he wasn't very clear yet, so he decided to take one step at a time.

Just as well, he took this opportunity to immerse himself in hard cultivation, continuously improving his cultivation, which was never wrong.

In the following three days, Shen Qing occasionally found himself alone.

He boldly retrieved the Spirit Essence obtained from the Ancient Relics and kept consuming Wish Power Pearls, piling them up to speed up his cultivation.

In this constant cultivation, like water eroding stone, his progress was visibly rapid.

Recently, Ji Bochu frequently asked about his progress in cultivating the Great Achievement Technique.

Fortunately, having practiced the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique and condensed a trace of Saint Blood, which aligned with some descriptions in the Saint Body Great Achievement Technique, combined with his 'Academic Pursuit' Skill, he was able to handle queries from Ji Bochu each time.

Over time, seeing such performance from Shen Qing, Ji Bochu was quite satisfied and gradually let his guard down, visiting less frequently.

One day, Shen Qing was seated on a mat, exhaled a turbid breath, ending his arduous practice.

He opened his eyes and stretched his muscles, feeling quite comfortable, his Primordial Spirit also becoming more consolidated.

Shen Qing thought about his uncle and aunt now in the Capital, realizing that he hadn't been home for several days, it was time to visit, so he decided to go back.

The Shen residence was aglow with lights, servants bustling around, each performing their duties, everything in perfect order.

Under his arrangement, his home had gradually become formal and gained some grandeur.

Beside him, senior followers like Tian Xiaohu and others rose alongside him.

With abundant Wish Power Pearls and various elixirs' support, their cultivation advanced rapidly.

In a short while, each of them had reached the Qi Sea realm, now worthy of his attention.

As Shen Qing stepped into the main hall, he saw Tian Xiaohu holding something, cheerfully approaching.

In his hand was an exquisite card with gold-leaf edges, depicting dragons and phoenixes.

Tian Xiaohu respectfully said in a manager's demeanor: "Master, this is an invitation sent from Princess Yuzhen's residence during the day, inviting you to the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival."
