My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 520: Chapter 230: Entry

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Over the past month, besides successfully cataloging all the various Roots and Leaves, Qin Fang had been cashing in...

...And the results were just as he expected.

The number of applicants for the ”Great Success Class” was far lower than for the ”Minor Achievement Class” and the ”Beginner Class.”

Still, there were over three hundred of them.

And with the power of his Divine Sense and Void Spiritual Eyes, combined with the Epiphany he gained while Breaking Through... Qin Fang was, quite simply, a natural-born Famous Teacher.

...Any problem these disciples had, he could offer detailed guidance on, leading to one moment of sudden realization after another.

”Senior Brother Qin’s In-Depth Discussion might be a bit pricey... but the results are truly incredible!”

”I used to think I was pretty good, but after receiving his guidance... I feel like I was a complete idiot before. How could I have spent a whole year on something so simple and still not get it...”

”I’m completely sold. Senior Brother Qin’s talent... is truly unparalleled in our Sect!”

”...How can the gap between people be this huge?... I mean, I have the Bone of Acupoints, too...”

Guiding the Great Success Class was much more difficult than the Minor Achievement Class; after all, once someone reached Minor Achievement, they already had a solid foundation in Mirror Flower Water Moon.

But Qin Fang could still identify the core of their individual problems at a glance. With just a bit of guidance from him, the results were almost immediate!

...Thanks to this, Qin Fang’s contribution points started climbing again...

The fee for the Great Success Class was even higher than the Minor Achievement Class: two thousand contribution points per person.

This earned Qin Fang over six hundred thousand contribution points in one fell swoop.

...But Qin Fang knew this was the last major haul of contribution points he’d be getting from Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Earning this easily again would be much more difficult.

...Unless he picked a Body Technique of a different Nature and did this all over again...

But reaching the same level of explosive popularity as he did with Mirror Flower Water Moon was probably a long shot.

After all, others had long since begun giving In-Depth Discussions on other Body Technique Leaf Skills of various Natures.

...Maybe the results of their guidance weren’t as immediate as Qin Fang’s.

But there was no substitute for the sheer amount of time they put in...

So, in reality, ever since ”In-Depth Discussion” tasks became widespread, more and more disciples in the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect were learning to fly...

’Sigh, money’s getting harder and harder to make...’

Qin Fang lamented.

Of course, ”hard to make” was only relative to the runaway success of Mirror Flower Water Moon.

After all, Qin Fang was now considered a ”Gold Medal Lecturer” renowned throughout the Sect...

As long as he offered a course, disciples were bound to sign up.

At the very least, he could still earn tens of thousands of contribution points a month.

...It was just that he’d grown accustomed to taking the elevator, so going back to the stairs felt like a bit of a letdown.

After another peaceful yet fulfilling month, Qin Fang received a message from his Master, summoning him for a visit.

Qin Fang’s eyes lit up... He knew this was likely about the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm.

He set off at once to see his Master.

Sure enough, his Master got straight to the point. ”It’s all set. In three days, we will open the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm for you. Use these three days to prepare... and there are also some details I need to discuss with you.”

Qin Fang replied respectfully, ”Yes.”

His Master said, ”The entrance to the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm is hidden beneath the Sect’s ’Ascending Array.’ Opening it is incredibly costly. It requires drawing upon the Circulation Star Power and the Earth Vein Primordial Power just to barely pry it open a sliver, and it needs at least three Palace Master Level individuals working together to succeed.”

”Each time it’s opened, it can only sustain twelve ’Guiding Rainbow Bridges’ to send twelve people inside...”

Qin Fang was stunned... then a flicker of understanding dawned on him.

’No wonder the top twelve was such a special cut-off during the Martial Arts Examination...’

”I’ve already told you about the conditions within the Secret Realm before, so I won’t repeat myself. I’ll only cover the things you don’t know.”

”The Secret Realm is a wondrous place. Although twelve of you may enter at once, you will not necessarily appear in the same location... you might find yourselves in different areas. This is normal, so do not worry. Just focus on your Cultivation.”

”As for leaving... you have even less to worry about.”

”The Secret Realm is quite mystical. It seems that when you step onto a Guiding Rainbow Bridge, it leaves an imprint on you... The duration of this imprint varies. For some, it might only last a few months, but for others, it can remain for a year or two, or even longer...”

”For example, according to Sect records, the person who stayed in the Secret Realm the longest managed a full three years... But that particular person had mediocre Talent and average Cultivation. No one has any idea why he was able to stay that long...”

”Therefore, we can only conclude that it all comes down to luck.”

”Once your time is up, whether you’re willing or not, and regardless of where you are within the Secret Realm... you will be ’repelled’ by it. After that, you must wait a full three years before you can enter again... Otherwise, even if you step onto a Guiding Rainbow Bridge, you will be immediately repelled.”

Qin Fang was rather surprised by his Master’s words...

...’It’s that mystical?’

’The amount of time you can spend in the Secret Realm really depends entirely on luck?’

’And once you leave, you have to wait at least three years before you can go back in?’

As Qin Fang reeled from his surprise, his Master continued, ”The Primordial Power within the Secret Realm is dense, but it cannot be absorbed directly, for it contains a unique ’Celestial Spirit Sharp Qi.’ This Celestial Spirit Sharp Qi is related to the later process of ’Condensing Gang’ and, by extension, your ’Divine Power Seed.’ Theoretically, the more Celestial Spirit Sharp Qi you absorb, the higher the quality of your Condensing Gang, and the stronger your Divine Power Seed will be.”

”However, when you first enter, you must adapt slowly. Do not be greedy for quick progress and rush recklessly ahead... or you risk damaging your meridians.”

Qin Fang committed this to memory before asking, ”Master, are there any particular dangers within the Secret Realm that I should pay special attention to?”
