Martial Research Master

Chapter 355

355 THE RENEGADE PATH

“The path you are choosing to walk on is not something which traditional martial artist would even dream to walk on. Are you sure you want to walk the renegade path?”

“What is a renegade path?”

“Well, tradition has always been an integral part of martial arts since ancient times. Martial artists research paths through which they could rise to the top and leave the research for the younger generation to follow. But what happens when someone thinks out of the box?”

“It leads to an unexpected development within the art which could make it much more productive and powerful.” Long Tao answered.

“yes. And it is generally appreciated by society as being a genius. But what if the idea and the structure are so out of limits that the power obtained is too huge.”

“People are unable to digest the development properly and couldn’t grasp the boundlessness.”

‘And what happens when the inability becomes a popular opinion?” The Keeper hinted.

“They term the development as being heretical and unorthodox. Even evil is within the bounds.” Long Tao said with a sudden realization.

“Renegade is just the term in which the path so developed is called. It is neither unorthodox nor evil. It is something beyond that. The path you have walked until now is the best example of it. A Qi King who could fight with a Qi emperor who could even have stepped into the intermediate level. How can it get more heretic and out of bounds.” The Keeper said.

.....

“And the change we are about to make in the body refining art will not only kick it up a notch but transform it into something different.”

“Exactly/. Are you sure you want to walk the path? Renegades are not only hated within the cultivation world, but the path itself is almost impossible to walk upon.”

“If you want to climb up the ladder of power and become the kind of the world, you need to walk the path which others couldn’t even dream of walking on.” Long Tao said with a confident tone.

“Let’s get into it. I guess you have managed to comprehend what the art itself suggests the cultivator does.”

“My experience with reading art, just suggests a particular blend of a very powerful set of herbs which are of similar characteristics to the body type the practitioner has. The path is a bit of a blur, but the cultivator has to find the blend. Another way to put it is the meridians themselves don’t have a tempering method with the help of energy. You need external supplements.”

“Exactly. Do you understand the lowest level of herbs required?”

“They are to be at the peak of Qi King level to even be effective. What is even more problematic is that the required potency increases with an increase in the cultivation level of the user. If I have to make a guess, around halfway through the process, we would need a powerful level 7 grade herbs.”

“And they couldn’t even be of the same quality as normal herbs. You need specific varieties which could encompass all types of energies you practice. You need herbs with multiple elemental properties, Hell energy types herbs, herbs from the netherworld, and even powerful energies from these worlds.” The Keeper said.

” First we need to devise an energy path for the whole process and then we need to find a way to properly infuse the energies into your bodies. The next thing we need to do is to try and guess the effect the energies will have within the body and how to temper your channels.”

“The last thing is to figure out a herb blend that would be effective in your case I want to say. You need to understand that not every kind of herb can be used for the whole operation.”

“Could the Yin tree pieces be used in the whole channel tempering process?”

‘It’s effective, and It will be until the very end of the process. It is the only herb that is so powerful that it will be effective till the end. But you need to find other herbs to get you through the process. You might have some in the garden for now. They should be able to sustain you for now, but we need to get more powerful herbs.”

“I guess we need to go ask for help from my fellow seniors and my master who so cleverly send me out of a perfect place of cultivation.”

“He did a good thing by helping you increase your strength. You are capable enough to fight with Qi Emperors by the end of the whole mission set. But he could prove to be a great source for many of the herbs. I am sure they must have a vast herb ground in the academy. You should take full advantage of it. You should also invest all your points in buying the herbs.”

“I will do so.”

The three figures slowly began to make modifications to the original scriptures. Soon enough the whole area was covered with vast quantities of notes and etchings on vast rocks. LonG tao and the keeper were constantly guessing and experimenting with combinations. After the first step was completed, the avatars were gathered for the second step.

The second step went properly. They managed to establish a proper path of Qi flow within the body. The next step was the longest and most tiring one.

“We need to start creating herb blends. The blends are to be tested with the avatars and we need to observe the effect it has on their channels and Qi flow. It is going to take a very long time and a lot of resources are being wasted during the experiment. You need to cut your losses.”

“The gang and base are slowly being formed within the manor. I have already bought a lot of resources and once Su Menqi reaches here, we will start recruiting forces within the mercenaries nearby. One of the avatars will be helping here. We could start collecting and marketing resources within the villages and increase our income.”

“Let’s focus on the real problem then.” The Keeper said.
