Chapter 443 - Chapter 444: The Sealing Technique

The next day.

Morning.

Qingming woke up from his slumber, his head still a little groggy. However, he didn't have time to indulge in more sleep.

Getting up, he tidied his clothes and walked to the washroom. After washing his face, he instantly felt much more awake.

Not wasting any time, Qingming headed straight to the dining hall. After a hearty meal, he was about to head out to the outer sea for training.

However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

From his ninja tool pouch, Qingming took out a test vial and looked at the Byakugan inside. Thinking of the 'Guardian Seal', he quickly turned around and headed for the logistics office.

It didn't take long before he used his merits to exchange for a sealing technique—'Sealing Formation for Objects'.

The so-called 'Sealing Formation for Objects' was essentially a precursor technique for creating storage-type scrolls. In essence, it was similar to Jiraiya's 'Sealing Fire Seal'. The difference was that the 'Sealing Fire Seal' could only seal flames, while the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' had a wider range of uses, able to seal various items.

Of course, the difficulty was also much greater.

Otherwise, during the Ninja World War, different ninja villages wouldn't have had to use primitive means such as transport carts to move supplies.

Drawing from his previous life's memories and the experiences of the past two years, Qingming estimated that in the ninja world, the only one capable of creating large space storage scrolls would be one of the future Twelve Little Strong Ones—Tenten.

Her summoning scrolls could summon entire seas and giant ships, which Yamanaka Aoi referred to as the "legendary portable warehouse."

Being called a legend only highlighted the rarity of such techniques.

Moreover, Tenten's summoning scrolls were different from ordinary storage scrolls. They weren't made by sealing and compressing items into the scroll, but by using a special space-time ninjutsu.

However, the basic principle was not much different.

What Qingming needed to do now was learn the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' and create a sealing scroll to seal the test vial.

Carrying it around like this made him feel insecure.

Of course, he could also protect the vial using the 'Guardian Seal', but in order to make it capable of creating 'Talisman: Protective Seal', it would take quite a long time.

Thus, it was much more efficient to directly learn the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' and create a sealing scroll.

While others might worry they wouldn't be able to learn it, Qingming was confident because of the 'Guardian Seal' that gave him the ability to seal things.

However, things didn't go as expected.

Noon.

Outer Sea.

On a rocky shore.

After several hours of practice, Qingming still hadn't successfully imprinted the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' onto his skill panel, let alone learned it.

Once he dispelled his shadow clones, Qingming sat down and reflected. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his expression full of disappointment.

Even though his 'Earth Release: Hardened Technique' had reached level 3 after this round of practice, there was no sign of excitement on his face.

"What's going wrong?" Qingming wondered to himself as he took out the book containing the knowledge of the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' and started to carefully read through it again.

After a moment, he came across a section that outlined the requirements for learning the 'Sealing Formation for Objects'.

Reading it thoroughly, a look of realization appeared on his face.

According to the book, in order to learn the 'Sealing Formation for Objects', it wasn't enough to simply memorize the steps to perform the technique.

More importantly, it required a deep understanding of space perception.

If one couldn't perceive space, then no matter how well one practiced the process of casting the technique, it would be futile.

It was like 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration—the former was certainly important, but the latter was indispensable.

That elusive space perception was the 1% of inspiration.

Before, Qingming had thought he could rely on the skill panel's ability to bypass this requirement and force his way through it.

Now, he realized he had been wrong.

The trick with the skill panel was that it only worked if the panel acknowledged the technique. That meant he had to first get a 'feel' for the 'Sealing Formation for Objects'.

But to get that 'feel', he needed space perception.

And it was exactly this lack of space perception that was preventing him from imprinting the technique onto the panel.

At this moment, Qingming finally understood why sealing scrolls were so rare in the ninja world.

The people who mastered the technique were few, so the items naturally weren't abundant.

"Wait!" Qingming suddenly thought of something.

"Sealing scrolls?"

He realized that since 'Sealing Formation for Objects' was used to create sealing scrolls, then the moment the seal was removed or closed, one should be able to sense the same source of power—space perception.

Even just a little bit would be enough to give him some insight.

He was confident that with just a bit of 'inspiration', he would be able to successfully imprint the technique onto the panel.

Once that was done, he would just need to keep practicing.

With that thought in mind, Qingming didn't hesitate. He immediately raised his hand and performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

As usual, he assigned each clone a different skill to practice. Then, he instructed the last shadow clone to head to the Blackstone Outpost and exchange for a sealing scroll.

Although these scrolls were not for sale and were extremely scarce, with his merits, exchanging for one shouldn't be an issue.

The clone, having received the command, wasted no time. It immediately performed 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' to fly into the sky.

Watching the clone leave, Qingming suddenly remembered that his 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' was also close to leveling up.

He opened his skill panel and, sure enough, after two days of intensive use, its proficiency had increased from lv4 (650/2000) to lv4 (1640/2000). With just two more days of use, it would be upgraded.

When that happened, combined with his 'Earth Release: Hardened Technique' at level 3—soon to reach level 4—his self-preservation ability would be significantly enhanced.

Just thinking about that caused the frustration Qingming had been feeling over his struggles with the 'Sealing Formation for Objects' to dissipate.

Shaking his head, Qingming stopped thinking about it.

He glanced over at the shadow clone in the distance trying to learn 'Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall' and began practicing 'Mastery of Immortality' and 'Reflection Technique'.

With 'Earth Release: Earth Spike' and 'Earth Release: Hardened Technique' as his foundation, his progress in developing earth chakra had greatly accelerated.

In this case, learning the 'Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall' was only a matter of time. There was no need to rush.

Time passed, and after completing another round of practice, the shadow clone sent to retrieve the sealing scroll finally returned.

It wasn't that they were far apart, but that the process of obtaining the sealing scroll had taken a bit of time.

After all, these were rare items, and even with his merits, Qingming had to go through official channels to make the exchange.
