Chapter 84 Martial Arts and Magical Powers
Skill Completeness — 100%
[Skill Credibility — 95%]
As the last rays of sunlight faded and the crescent moon disappeared, the valley fell silent. Lin Zhuo's miniature heavenly barrier was finally completed.
However, at this point, there is still a final verification step before it can be considered a truly credible supernatural skill. If the skill's credibility is not 100%, then all the efforts of the previous day will have been in vain.
Lin Zhuo stood up, and the Taoist priests who were silently protecting him became slightly agitated, but quickly quieted down.
The Taoists stared silently at Lin Zhuo, noticing that his eyes were closed and a pale white circular mark, almost the size of an eyeball, had appeared on his forehead. At first glance, the mark appeared evenly radiant, but upon closer inspection, one could see layers of runes faintly visible within the light spot, resembling nested rings.
Lin Zhuo tucked his left fist to his waist, raised his right palm to the sky, and slowly raised it to the top of his head. In an instant, the air around him was like a group of frightened wild horses, running wildly, stirring up dust, and blowing away gravel.
Part of the surging palm force soared into the sky, while another part transformed into a hidden dragon and entered the restriction between the eyebrows.
Despite the rapid flow of true energy within the pot, the space-time continuum remained as stable as a rock. The special dimensional space-time constructed by the power of various talismans embraced the raging dragon like an abyss, allowing it to roam freely within it.

Lin Zhuo continued to strike, the hidden dragon energy surging out from the Heavenly Pot, carrying even greater force before flowing back in, repeating the cycle. The light emanating from the restriction between his eyebrows alternated between bright and dim like breathing.
More and more true energy was being drawn into the Pot Heaven, and the flow rate continued to increase, gradually approaching the limit that this space-time could withstand.
In the dim light of twilight, Lin Zhuo's brow seemed to be burning with candlelight, radiating a white halo.
The Taoist followers were slightly moved and softly praised the wondrous phenomenon manifested by the teacher who was transmitting the Dharma.

【Hidden Dragon Pot (Medium Grade, White)】
"A single point of divine light opens up the universe; a dragon is nurtured within an immortal's gourd." This technique is based on the supernatural power of the Small Gourd Heaven Technique, combined with the cultivation method of the Fallen Dragon, thus becoming an ultimate skill. The practitioner always possesses formidable supernatural power; when still, all is well, but when activated, a thousand dragons emerge simultaneously, crushing enemies like dry leaves and decaying wood.
Learning progress: 0% (Base multiplier × 1)
Current effect: After fully executing the skill "Clumsy Dragon Falls to Earth", it automatically accumulates 1 layer of "Hidden Dragon" buff, with a maximum accumulation of (8 + 12 × [Cultivation Level 0%]) (rounded down); every (6 + 18 × [Cultivation Level 0%]) hours, the existing accumulation layer decreases by one until it is reset to zero. I have activated this skill. All martial arts of Fuyouyue based on talismanic principles can be considered supernatural powers. The effect of "Hidden Dragon Pot" is simple and straightforward, with no bottlenecks, and no additional skill effects after the cultivation level is maxed out.
The cultivation method for this supernatural skill involves reciting incantations and refining the restrictions of the Lesser Heavenly Pot Technique. This is completely different from the cultivation method of ordinary martial arts, which requires repeated practice to improve the level of mastery.
Lin Zhuo's other unique skill, the "Supreme Dragon Transformation and Qi Control Technique," is also special, requiring him to improve his mastery of other martial arts techniques before he can progress.
During his stay at the White Egret Sword Sect, he created two light-body skills, one hard-body skill, and one martial arts supernatural power. He also managed to raise his mastery of the "Supreme Dragon Transformation" from 90% to 99%, officially entering a bottleneck period.
The "Qi Control Technique" is a supreme skill of the general principles of martial arts. Not only is it difficult to learn, but mastering it also requires considerable effort.
Lin Zhuo was not in a hurry to break through. He opened his eyes, looked at the Taoists around him, bowed and clasped his hands, "Thank you all for protecting me."
"You flatter me! We were just about to congratulate Master Lin on the manifestation of his divine form and the attainment of his supernatural powers!"
"Congratulations, Master Lin, you have achieved supernatural powers!"
The Taoist priests made hand seals and bowed, showing their respect in unison.
Lin Zhuo smiled and nodded, then said, "I am about to leave your sect and go down to the mortal world. I will leave this talisman here so that you may continue to cultivate diligently. If you have any trusted people in your sect, you may also bring them to the valley to cultivate together."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Master Lin, I am willing to follow you down the mountain!" Qinghong Daoist immediately said.
"I'm the same way!" The young and lively Qingjing jumped up and down, raising his hand. He was not old enough to go down the mountain, but he longed to enter the world to cultivate and see the various aspects of human life.
Among the Taoist followers, some were reluctant to part, some tried to persuade him to stay, while others were carefree and simply wished Lin Zhuo good health and happiness, and that everything would go as he wished.
Lin Zhu declined the Taoist priests who wanted to follow him, thanked them for their blessings, and smiled at those who tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "I'm not just leaving. After I've finished my many errands, I'll come back again, and then I'll see how much progress you all have made in your talismanic arts."
After saying this, he walked through the crowd, washed his hands and feet by the stream, and strolled away. Before long, he disappeared into the vines at the entrance of the valley, leaving the Taoist followers bewildered and at a loss, facing a cultivation group without its leader.
Lin Zhuo returned to Chaoyang Peak, where he was staying. Hong Yingniang had been waiting anxiously for him and immediately went to greet him when she saw him.
These days, Hong Yingniang could only occasionally get brief messages from Lin Zhuo from the Taoists of the White Egret Sword Sect. She had not seen him at all and was living in fear and anxiety on the mountain. If it weren't for Cuixiang accompanying her, she probably would have been unable to contain herself and would have gone to find him.
Hong Yingniang's eyes sparkled with unspoken words, but in the end, she asked with concern, "Young master—your appearance has changed so much. Your beard is long, and so is your hair. Let me tidy it up for you. And why is your forehead glowing?"
"I've only practiced a martial art. As for my beard and hair, I can just wash them."
"Hearing that you say you are alright, I feel relieved. But a man shouldn't be so careless; let me take care of it."
Without saying a word, Hong Yingniang prepared hot water for Lin Zhuo to wash his hair and face, then braided his hair and shaved his beard, making the hairy-faced wild man look neat and tidy.
Lin Zhu thanked him and said, "Make yourselves ready, and come down the mountain with me first thing tomorrow morning."
Hong Yingniang tidied up the scattered beard on the ground. Upon hearing this, she was first taken aback, then delighted. "As you command, young master. Are we heading back to Liquan Town?"
"Don't rush. I'll take you to kill some pigs and dogs. In particular, we need to slaughter those four demonic cult masters in Huanhua Brothel to prevent them from causing any more trouble."
An ordinary woman would probably be very uneasy upon hearing such murderous words. Hong Yingniang did not know the extent of Lin Zhuo's martial arts skills, but she was willing to believe him, so she was fearless and nodded in agreement.
"My skills are meager, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to spare some attention to protect me, which would be a great inconvenience."
Lin Zhuo calmly shook his head. "If after so many days of training I still can't crush these pigs and dogs with one hand and leave you unscathed, then I'm truly a useless piece of trash. Rest assured, there's still plenty of excitement to come when we get back to Anzhou City tomorrow."
He returned to his guest residence, greeted Jin Xiaohu who was lying on a rocking chair basking in the moonlight, went to the bathhouse to wash off the accumulated grime with cold water, changed into clean and comfortable clothes, and then stepped into the side room.
A night may not seem long, but for Lin Zhuo, who had mastered internal energy cultivation, a good night's sleep would only take two hours, leaving him with plenty of time for cultivation.
He stayed at Yanwei Mountain for half a month, from mid-autumn to late autumn. While immersing himself in the study of talismanic arts, he also broke through the "Marrow Refining and Blood Transformation Longevity Method" to the perfect state, unlocking the third special effect of this internal skill.
[Marrow Refining and Blood Transformation Longevity Method (Medium Grade, White)]
Progression: 100% (Perfect)
Current effects: — Significantly slows down the natural aging process, greatly increases natural lifespan, all injured or missing limbs can slowly regenerate, and after the heart is damaged, one can actively enter a state of suspended animation until spontaneously healed before waking up again. Brain damage of no more than 40% can also be repaired to its original state. Lin Zhuo spent several hours trying to break through the "Supreme Dragon Transformation and Qi Control Method", but he could not grasp the essentials and failed repeatedly.
Left with no other choice, he did not force the issue. He spent the rest of the night chanting incantations and repeatedly refining the small urn-shaped barrier on his forehead, steadily improving his mastery of this martial arts technique.
