Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

"But the commotion was too great."

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren, who moved like a raging storm, and shook his head.

"That's right. The biggest drawback of the Earth Flow Technique is that it's too loud and doesn't fit the style of our Tang Clan's assassinations."

"But this move wasn't originally intended for assassination; it was meant to save the lives of us Tang Clan disciples."

Tang Jiaren's aura began to calm down, and he looked at Qin Qi and spoke.

"Yes, yes, I'm listening."

Qin Qi nodded, looking like a well-behaved child and a good student.

"What should you do if you are discovered during a mission?"

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and asked.

"Turn around and run, then look for another opportunity."

Qin Qi spoke without hesitation.

"........."

Tang Jiaren stared at Qin Qi, unsure of how to evaluate him.

"Did I say something wrong, Second Grandfather?"

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren and asked.

"That's right, or rather you're absolutely right. Life is precious, and you shouldn't try to tough it out unless absolutely necessary."

"Although we Tang Clan believe in using any means necessary to complete our missions, we are ultimately just assassins, not death squads."

"If they are discovered, they will not choose to fight to the death, but will choose to escape and find another time."

“Escape also requires methods, and the Tumu Liuzhu (土木流注) was created for this purpose.”

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and felt that Qin Qi was really talented, and his mentality was also very much in line with that of an assassin.

Being an assassin doesn't mean you're not afraid of death, nor does it mean you'd die for a mission.

Of course, if you can survive, you should. Tang Jiaren's principle is the same as Qin Qi's.

"You should have already learned how to generate the two energies of earth and wood while learning the Five Treasures Protection Method."

"It should also be discovered that maintaining the generation of the two energies of earth and wood will make the body very healthy."

"The Flow of Earth and Wood Qi instantly stimulates and increases your own power through the generation of Earth and Wood Qi!"

"It can instantly replenish your energy after you are exhausted, and greatly improve your mobility."

"This can be considered the last talisman for us Tang Clan disciples."

Tang Jiaren emphasized the last few words, "protective charm," and looked at Qin Qi seriously as he spoke.

"The trump card among trump cards, the life-saving secret weapon."

Qin Qi nodded seriously and spoke.

"Okay, that's good. Next, I'll explain how to use it in detail."

Tang Jiaren then began to explain the method of use to Qin Qi in detail, and after about half a day of practice, Qin Qi mastered it.

[Ding! Congratulations on advancing your Five Treasures Protection Technique. You are awarded 100 credits.]

[Ding! Congratulations on learning the Five Treasures Secret Technique: Earth and Wood Flow. You are rewarded with 1 achievement point and 100 academic credits.]

"Earth and Wood Flow!"

Qin Qi unleashed the Earth and Wood Flow Technique, causing his aura to surge dramatically and his movement speed to increase significantly.

I felt like I had inexhaustible energy, but after the effects wore off, I felt a bit weak.

But it only caused weakness; there were no serious side effects.

"Second Grandfather, I feel like I'm good again. Let's continue learning the Illusionary Body Barrier!"

Qin Qi felt himself stand up again. He had learned such a powerful move in just half a day.

The setbacks I suffered when learning Instant Strike, Whirlwind Step, and Tang Sect's Guanyin technique have all vanished!

"You're overthinking it. It's not that you've become good again, it's just that this move isn't that difficult to begin with."

"The key to this move is the practice of the Five Treasures Body Protection Technique. Once you have mastered the Five Treasures Body Protection Technique enough..."

"Learning this trick is a natural progression."

Tang Jiaren spoke without any mercy.

"Oh, I thought I was doing well again."

Qin Qi remained the same as always, showing no disappointment at having his illusions shattered, and remained perfectly calm.

"Ah."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi and nodded in satisfaction. This calm mindset was the best.

"The Illusionary Body Barrier can conceal one's form and create illusions. To get started, you only need to learn how to conceal your form."

"Concealing one's form can be divided into several stages. The first is to hide one's body, and the second is to conceal one's mind."

Tang Jiaren spoke up.

"I know about stealth, but what about concealing one's heart?"

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren and spoke.

"I'll demonstrate for you."

As Tang Jiaren spoke, his figure began to become transparent and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Don't open the Transparent World now, use the Tang Sect's Observation Method to find me."

Tang Jiaren spoke up.

"Ah."

Qin Qi opened the Tang Sect's Observation Method to observe people and objects, but he saw nothing. However, when he observed the mind...

He sensed a slight emotional fluctuation, and then, following that fluctuation, he pinpointed Tang Jiaren's location.

"Second Grandfather, we've found you."

Qin Qi turned his head and saw that Tang Jiaren had walked up to him without him noticing.

"What I'm using now is invisibility, and concealing one's mind means not emitting any emotional fluctuations."

"Whether it's during an assassination or an escape, you must not show any emotional fluctuations."

"Otherwise, no matter how well you do at hiding, it won't matter."

After Tang Jiaren finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Qin Qi continued to try to pinpoint Tang Jiaren's location, but he couldn't detect anything.

This living person seemed to have vanished into thin air.

“Not only did your body disappear, but I didn’t hear a sound when you moved.”

"This must be the Xu Bu (a type of walking meditation)?"

Qin Qi opened the Transparent World to look around, but still found nothing; the Transparent World wasn't omnipotent.

He also uses his perception of his surroundings to gain clairvoyance; if he can't perceive it, then it's useless.

Chapter 50 Qin Qi: Second Grandfather, why didn't you retreat back then?

"That's right, the Illusionary Body Barrier must be used in conjunction with the Flowing Step to maximize its effect."

"His body is as light as a willow catkin, and he moves without making any noise, as light as a willow catkin."

Tang Jiaren's figure appeared, and he stood in front of Qin Qi, speaking.

"Ah."

Qin Qi nodded. He noticed that Tang Clan techniques were basically all paired together and complemented each other.

"Second Grandfather..."

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren in front of him, and suddenly reached out to attack. Tang Jiaren was instantly pierced through and disappeared.

"This is the second stage of the illusionary body barrier, the illusion itself."

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren, who had disappeared, and spoke.

“That’s right, the aura emanating from this illusion is the same as mine. It’s quite remarkable that you were able to detect it.”

Tang Jiaren's figure appeared, and he spoke with a smile.

"I didn't notice. I just felt that you wouldn't show up so easily. I believe it's better to be safe than sorry."

"That's why I attacked; I won't die anyway."

Qin Qi indeed found nothing; in his observation, the phantom looked exactly like the real thing.

He just guessed based entirely on his gut feeling.

"Being able to guess correctly is a skill in itself. You must learn to trust your intuition, as intuition is very important to us!"

Tang Jiaren's voice suddenly came from behind Qin Qi, and at the same time, his figure appeared.

"Huh? You're messing with me again."

Qin Qi looked at Tang Jiaren in front of him, then at Tang Jiaren behind him, and realized that he had been tricked again.

"I never said that there could only be one illusion."

Tang Jiaren smiled and said, "You just thought that way, and then you let your guard down."

"Oh dear, it's impossible to guard against."

Qin Qi shook his head. Normally, since they've already been exposed, they'll definitely show themselves, especially if they do so while teaching.

It looks like they've really come out.

"That's exactly the kind of unpredictability we want. Normally, an illusion can't speak."
