Chapter 93: Exorcist Dragon Clan

Wei Ziqing was startled!

This time, he was truly frightened!

He never expected that Uncle Qiu, who was meeting him for the first time today, could already tell that he was a martial artist!

However, he soon understood. This world was so vast that beings like Fuxi and Nuwa still existed!

It was not surprising that some people possessed special abilities that allowed them to sense the True Energy within his body!

What Wei Ziqing did not understand was why Uncle Qiu wanted Ma Xiaoling to take him as her apprentice.

Could his aptitude really be seen at a glance by Uncle Qiu?

Suddenly, Wei Ziqing thought of the talent from his Anywhere Door System, the Innate Saint Physique. Could Uncle Qiu know about his talent?

Despite these thoughts, Wei Ziqing took a deep breath and nodded. “I am indeed from an Ancient Martial Arts family. However, although Ancient Martial Arts are strong, my power is very small. Not to mention, I cannot cause any harm to these supernatural things at all!”

At this point, Wei Ziqing looked at Ma Xiaoling. “Miss Ma, if you trust me, I want to become your apprentice, whether it is for tomorrow’s Sanpo Day or for myself!”

Yes, Wei Ziqing would not refuse!

On the contrary, he looked forward to Ma Xiaoling accepting him!

Regardless of whether Uncle Qiu mentioned it this time, he would definitely find a way to obtain the power of the Exorcist clan from Ma Xiaoling in the future!

Ma Xiaoling fell silent. Take Wei Ziqing as an apprentice? To be honest, she had never had such an idea. After all, the Ma Family had passed their legacy through women for generations. Now she was to take a man? This made Ma Xiaoling feel some resistance!

“Is it not possible?” Wei Ziqing looked at the silent Ma Xiaoling, and his heart sank. Disappointment was inevitable!

Ma Xiaoling’s silence was torturous not only for Wei Ziqing, but Uncle Qiu, Kuang Tianyou, and the others also felt the oppressive atmosphere. Finally, after several dozen seconds, Ma Xiaoling spoke.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about taking an apprentice. I will not take any apprentices!”

“Xiaoling, you…” Uncle Qiu’s face showed anxiety upon hearing this. He was about to ask Ma Xiaoling to reconsider, but Ma Xiaoling interrupted him directly. “I will not take an apprentice, but I can teach you the exorcism arts of my Ma Family. From now until tomorrow night, you can learn as much as you can!”

Hearing this, the disappointed look on Wei Ziqing’s face turned into a smile, and he nodded softly. “Okay!”

Even if he could not learn much in one day and one night, at least he would understand something about this exorcism power. When he went to the next Plane, he would at least be able to deal with some special beings.

Seeing that Ma Xiaoling agreed, Uncle Qiu, Kuang Tianyou, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they tactfully left the room, leaving it to Wei Ziqing and Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling had a cold personality, and Wei Ziqing was steady and calm. Although they were a man and a woman alone together, neither felt awkward.

After all, the man had no romantic feelings, and the woman had no interest!

Ma Xiaoling did not waste words and immediately began to instruct Wei Ziqing. As she spoke slowly, Wei Ziqing felt his horizons expanding.

It felt as if a thick black fog was being cleared from before his eyes, and things he previously did not understand became clearer.

He also learned many secrets about Exorcists that were unknown to others.

It was well known in the exorcism world that the most famous were the “Southern Mao and Northern Ma,” but few people knew where the difference between the two lay!

The Southern Mao Family, also known as the Southern Maoshan Family, were successors of Mount Mao. They advocated for cultivating truth and nourishing nature, focusing on using talismans, such as drawing charms, chanting spells, and driving away ghosts and demons. This was very similar to what was usually seen in television and movies!

As for the Northern Ma Family, it was different!

Although the Northern Ma Family was known as an exorcist clan, their true name was the Exorcist Dragon Clan!

They did not focus on external cultivation but focused more on cultivating Exorcism Demon Force and utilizing the Power of the Divine Dragon!

Although the Northern Ma Family seemed much stronger than the Southern Mao Family, Exorcism Power was inherently difficult to cultivate, let alone the Power of the Divine Dragon!

Borrowing the Power of the Divine Dragon was not that simple. Instead, one needed to have a compatibility with the Divine Dragon. In other words, the Power of the Divine Dragon actually had a Will!

Whether one could use its power was entirely decided by the Divine Dragon!

Therefore, the Mao Family had a low entry barrier, but their growth was limited!

The Ma Family had a high entry barrier and unlimited growth, but it was fraught with difficulties and not easy to grow!

To trigger the Power of the Divine Dragon, one had to learn the Seven-Character True Words, also known as the Dragon Summoning Art!

Even Ma Xiaoling, who was called the current successor of the Ma Family, could actually only utilize the third level of the Power of the Divine Dragon!

That was the power of the three words “Lin,” “Bing,” and “Dou” within the Nine Word Mantra!

“The Nine Word Mantra is also called the Dragon Summoning Art. Long ago, the ancestors of my Ma Family combined Exorcism Power with the Dragon Summoning Art. Therefore, the Exorcism Power contains the power of the Dragon God. Although you are a person of Ancient Martial Arts, you have no Exorcism Power in your body. Now, if you want to cultivate this Nine Word Mantra, I fear…”

Wei Ziqing understood Ma Xiaoling’s words. The Nine Word Mantra was far more complex than just nine words; each word contained a demon-gathering chapter!

Therefore, in just one day and one night, he had to complete the cultivation of the word “Lin” from the Nine Word Mantra and achieve compatibility with the Divine Dragon. This was very difficult!

“I understand!” Wei Ziqing nodded. Though it was difficult, he was not afraid!

Since the Anywhere Door System gave him the Innate Saint Physique talent, he should not have such a hard time comprehending it!

Furthermore, even without this talent, he was not afraid because he did not believe he was truly that useless!

Ma Xiaoling looked at Wei Ziqing with a complex expression. To be honest, she was not familiar with him. If the situation were different, she would never have taught him the Nine Word Mantra.

Not to mention, she was known as the most outstanding existence in the Ma Family in a hundred years, yet cultivating the word “Lin” of the Nine Word Mantra and achieving compatibility with the Divine Dragon had taken her nearly half a year.

One day and one night was simply…

However, hearing Wei Ziqing’s words and seeing his confident and steady demeanor, she inexplicably felt that he might actually be able to do it!

“Since that is the case, you may begin your cultivation. Do not learn the hand seals yet; first, cultivate the Exorcism Power. Exorcism Power is different from the Inner Energy of your Ancient Martial Arts. Once it is cultivated, it will open a Sea of Spirit in your mind. I do not even need to tell you this for you to realize it. When the time comes, I will teach you the hand seals to see if you can achieve compatibility with the Divine Dragon!”

“Okay!”

Wei Ziqing nodded, turned and walked to a corner of the room, and began to cultivate cross-legged according to the Nine Word Mantra cultivation method Ma Xiaoling had told him!
