He Yiming responded to the elder with a grave look on his face, then he bowed deeply at the elder.
He was sincerely thanking the elder because his detailed discussion with the elder had saved him at least 10 years of exploration. Moreover, after grasping the combat skill, his defensive ability had greatly improved.
At the very least, he could resist a Venerable One's all-out attack.
Although he did not fathom the power of water or condense the Water Flower during his trip to the East Sea this time, the journey was definitely not in vain since he learned the wonderful secret skill.
He faced the east again and calmed himself down. The essential Qi in his body began to surge wildly and turned into surging hot streams that converged between his mouth and tongue according to his will.
When He Yiming sensed the peculiar power, he opened his mouth and spat out 3 tangible flowers.
As if they were driven by a mysterious power, the 3 tangible flowers began to spin above He Yiming's head.
Copious amounts of Heaven and Earth's Qi gathered toward the 3 tangible flowers. After a brief moment, the Qi around them became disordered as if an invisible pole was stirring them.
The elder nodded and sighed to himself. 'This young man's a genius indeed. He's only heard it once, but he can perform it accurately.' Even though Ou Yangming's movements were extremely rusty, if he were to move so slowly during an official battle, he would've been slashed into 17 or 18 pieces before he could successfully condense an armor.
Nevertheless, the elder knew since the young powerhouse had grasped the most accurate method, his speed would gradually increase after he cultivated for some time. Perhaps after a few years, Ou Yangming would be able to condense a tangible armor in a single breath like the elder did.
Slowly, the 3 tangible flowers exploded.
This time, the situation seemed to be different from before. The 3 flowers that exploded did not condense into a mixed flower again. Instead, they directly merged and covered Ou Yangming's body.
Various powers in his body kept flowing and exchanging, and they slowly formed an absolutely balanced power system.
At last, when all of the powers stopped, He Yiming opened his eyes.
He lowered his head and looked at his body. Sure enough, he was successfully covered by a layer of tricolored armor.
Since this armor was completely condensed from his own Genuine Qi, there was a strong sense of comfort when he put it on, and it was perfectly integrated with him.
This was the difference between a tangible armor and a real armor.
Even if a real armor was tailor-made, it could not make one feel like one with it when one first came into contact with it.
When He Yiming moved his arm gently, he could easily sense the enormous power gathered in the armor.
However, the only thing that made He Yiming feel a little dissatisfied was that this set of armor really consumed too much True Qi. Even with his strength at the moment, he felt that it was a heavy burden.
It was no wonder that when the old man fought against the white horse in the past, he did not wear the armor from the beginning to the end. Only when the white horse used its ultimate skill did he reveal this set of armor.
It turned out that the true reason was that the armor consumed too much essential Qi, such that even a Venerable One could not maintain it for a long time.
As the essential Qi in He Yiming's dantian kept gushing out, the feeling became more obvious.
However, at this moment, He Yiming suddenly discovered that the whirlpool of Baleful Yin Qi in his Dantian had started to undergo a subtle change.
It felt like they were ready to move as if they wanted to come out of his dantian.
He Yiming hesitated for a while before he let go of the restriction on them.
Ever since the vortex was formed in He Yiming's dantian, he had been exploring its function. Nonetheless, he was disappointed because while the vortex obeyed his order, it could not merge with the essential Qi in his meridians, thus it could not attack as he wished.
As such, the vortex was unquestionably of little value.
Nevertheless, when He Yiming's essential Qi was forcefully released from his dantian, the magical vortex reacted out of the blue. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
He wanted to see what kind of miraculous ability this thing had.
Next, the vortex, which had lost its restriction, seemed to have its own consciousness. It gushed into his meridians like a beehive and gushed out of his meridians.
In just a breath's time, the peculiar powers left his chaotic dantian as they wished and arrived at the vast world outside.
As soon as they came into contact with the air outside, they instantly turned into a grayish-black color and quickly spread on the tangible armor.
In the blink of an eye, the grayish-black color covered the entire armor and became one with it.
The elder was initially watching quietly on the side, and he lamented. That said, the muscles on his face twitched intensely at this moment.
This set of Cultivation Method was created by him, and no one in the world understood this set of Cultivation Method better than him. Therefore, he knew very well what kind of armor would be formed after the three flowers merged and turned into a tangible armor.
Everyone's physique was different, so the cultivation techniques they cultivated were also different. As long as one was a human, the armor they condensed would not change too much.
Nevertheless, the grayish-black essential Qi that emerged from the young powerhouse's body at this moment made him feel extremely baffled.
'Could this person have cultivated some kind of sinister and vicious technique, which is why there's such a peculiar change?'
This wasn't the old man's imagination running wild. Instead, He Yiming's current appearance was simply too shocking.
Small grayish-black vortexes that kept spinning could be seen on his body. The vortexes kept spinning and flowed freely on the surface of the armor in irregular directions like flowing water. At first glance, it looked like Ou Yangming's body was covered in an armor made of countless spinning grayish-black mists.
The armor enveloped Ou Yangming's entire body, including his head and face.
Nonetheless, the truly terrifying thing was that the vortexes were not stable. They would sometimes protrude or sink as if they were giant spikes that kept expanding and shrinking.
Furthermore, when these vortexes appeared, the entire space was immediately filled with a deep cold and gloomy ghostly aura. Even under the scorching sun, one could still feel a huge and strange pressure.
Since the elder was a Venerable One, he was naturally an experienced and knowledgeable person. He had been living on this deserted island for decades and never left. Even so, when he was young, he had traveled the world and befriended countless powerhouses, where he had exchanged blows with many Venerable Ones.
Even so, even with his rich experience, he could not tell exactly what kind of technique it was.
Needless to say, given the Yin Qi, one could tell with one's toes that it was a mighty evil technique.
It was true that the technique was incredibly mighty, but the path of cultivation was much tougher and harsher than that of ordinary techniques.
The old man did not discriminate against righteous or evil techniques, but when he felt the powerful Baleful Yin Qi, he could not help but feel a little shocked.
After all, one's strength would increase quickly by cultivating evil techniques, but one's mental state would inevitably be affected accordingly. As the saying went, a man did not intend to hurt a tiger, but a tiger intended to hurt a man. After encountering a cultivator who cultivated evil techniques, one would more or less be on guard.
He Yiming let out a long breath. He was extremely excited. When the armor was finally formed, the joy in his heart could not be described with words. Coupled with the sudden eruption of the Baleful Yin Vortex, the Baleful Yin Vortex flowed endlessly on the surface of the armor. He had not tried it before, but he was certain that the Yin Qi would be a great help to the armor.
Once the Yin Qi was added to the armor, perhaps it would not only have defensive powers, but it would also have offensive abilities.
A set of armor actually had the ability to attack and defend at the same time. This was truly an unexpected surprise.
Needless to say, He Yiming could not define the armor's real ability yet. Unless it was tested in actual combat, he would not be able to give a satisfactory answer.
After all, some armors and Divine Soldier's Tools seemed to be very powerful when they were just smithed, but their performances in actual combat would not be flattering.
Although He Yiming didn't think that his Baleful Yin Armor was a silver spear or a candle head, before actual combat, his confidence was still somewhat lacking.
He Yiming turned around and bowed at the elder. He thanked sincerely, "Thank you for your pointers, Your Excellency."
The elder waved his hand graciously. His eyes were deep and unpredictable, causing He Yiming to have goosebumps.
After a brief moment, He Yiming asked hesitantly, "There's something that I don't understand. Please enlighten me."
"Go ahead," the elder uttered in a deep voice.
He Yiming looked up and looked seriously at the elder. He asked in a deep voice, "How am I worthy enough to be valued by you and pass on this technique to me?" He paused for a while before he continued, "If there's anything that you need my help with, feel free to let me know. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse you."
Indeed, He Yiming was rather conceited, but he was not so lovable as to think that he was loved by everyone.
He Yiming would not believe that the elder would teach him wholeheartedly even if it was just a few grilled fish.
Therefore, Ou Yangming thought that the old man must have taken a fancy to his strength as a Venerable One, as well as the unfathomable 108 points. Therefore, the old man wanted to borrow his strength, which was why he used the technique as an exchange.
The elder was stunned at first, but he soon understood.
He had only lived here for several decades and had not come into contact with other humans for a long time. Having said that, after spending a month with He Yiming, he recalled most of his dusty past. (To be continued. If you'd like to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com.
