He didn't rush to find Xiao Zhan to tell him about his breakthrough.
Instead, he went back to his room, barred the door, and sat cross-legged on his bed, sinking his consciousness into his soul sea.
Within the five-colored scroll were recorded certain pieces of information regarding the Five Element Qi Mansions.....information that, to the people of the Dou Qi Continent, would be considered utterly inconceivable.
The qi refined within the Five Element Mansions wasn't merely simple wood, fire, earth, metal, and water attribute qi.
Rather, it contained derivative properties corresponding to each element.
For example: lightning and wind, both natural phenomena, belonged under the wood element.
Therefore, Xiao Jian could cultivate wood-type as well as wind-type techniques.
Ice, on the other hand, was simply another form of water.
Thus, the Black Water Mansion of the kidneys could completely be used to train ice attribute techniques.
Of course, since the qi within the mansions naturally had five colors, even if Xiao Jian cultivated other attribute techniques, the color of his qi wouldn't change.....it would always remain only those five.
The reason Xiao Jian told Ya Fei his battle qi attribute was ice was simple:
since he had already connected himself with the Mittel family and even drawn the attention of the Grand Elder, Mittel Tengshan, then tying his "genius talent" together with the rare ice attribute would definitely stir certain memories in the elder's mind.
Later, when he went to the Tagore Desert, surely some very interesting things would happen.
In truth, at first Xiao Jian also thought the theories written in this scroll were too outrageous.
But after thinking carefully, he suddenly realized.....this theory carried a flavor all too familiar to his homeland.
Because in the ancient times of his homeland, the sages had already divided all things under heaven and earth according to their properties into five categories...the Five Elements.
This wasn't some vague mysticism, but rather a concrete system of classification: a way of understanding the world.
The Five Elements promoted and restrained each other, interacting in cycles of growth, destruction, overaction, and insult.
As a system, they explained the formation of all things and their interrelations.
The emphasis lay on the wholeness of a specific system, describing how things moved and transformed.
And as the most intricate system of all, the human body naturally conformed to such rules.
From Xiao Jian's current understanding of the theories in the scroll, this cultivation method seemed aimed at drawing qi into oneself until one's strength was sufficient to influence the entire Dou Qi Continent.
At that time, perhaps he would truly reach the realm of Dou Emperor!
Of course, right now Xiao Jian had an even more absurd thought.
He strongly suspected that this five-colored scroll in his mind was something left behind by a transmigrator from the too-ancient era.
As for why it hadn't been passed down, that was unknown.
But even so, it was enough to make him thrilled.
Because this meant… he could cultivate techniques of all attributes!
And with his terrifying talent for cultivating battle skills, his path ahead was practically wide open!
Still, he couldn't just trust the scroll's words.....he had to test it for himself, to see if he could truly condense ice attribute qi.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Jian sank his focus into his body, turning his inner sight to his kidneys.
Within the Black Water Mansion, streams of black water-qi constantly surged.
Xiao Jian willed them, following the method written in the scroll, attempting to convert water qi into ice qi.
It wasn't hard.
Since ice was just another state of water, sharing the same source, the conversion carried almost no difficulty.
Moments later, seeing the cold, black ice-attribute qi swirling in his palm, Xiao Jian's lips finally curved into a wide grin.
It really worked!
Next, he only had to wait and see if the Mittel family's Grand Elder would react as he predicted and bring out Hai Bodong, Hai Lao's cultivation methods and battle skills.
Of course, even if this scheme failed, it didn't matter.
At worst, he could rely on his father's Mad Lion Furious Gang technique for a while.
Though he could rest from cultivating qi for a few days, he still had to properly train that Six Harmonies Spear battle skill!
Leaping off his bed full of energy, Xiao Jian sprinted up the back mountain.
With a turn of his hand, his storage ring flashed. A long spear and a scroll appeared in his hands.
The Six Harmonies Spear.....an advanced Black-rank spear technique. Its moves focused on blocking, seizing, and thrusting. Balanced in both offense and defense.
The so-called Six Harmonies referred to the "Three Internal Harmonies" and the "Three External Harmonies."
The Internal Harmonies: essence, qi, and spirit.
The External Harmonies: waist, hands, and eyes.
When both the internal and external harmonies fused together, that was mastery.
After carefully reading through the battle skill, Xiao Jian stood under the bright moonlight, stars spread across the sky, atop the back mountain's peak.
With his heavy black-iron spear in hand, he began practicing the most basic blocking, seizing, and thrusting moves.
