An incense stick later.
Dragon Mountain Daoist left with complex feelings.
It was both joy and frustration.
The joy stemmed from the fact that his Disciple was indeed a Tiansheng Martial Body; no matter what he said, Junior Brother could comprehend it extremely quickly, extrapolate from it, and even had several insights that Dragon Mountain Daoist himself had never considered.
To be able to take such a Prodigy as a Disciple was naturally a joyous occasion.
And the frustration also lay in this.
When a Disciple is overly a Prodigy, the Master's pressure doubles; in just a short moment, Dragon Mountain Daoist felt as if he was being drained.
If this continued, what if Junior Brother asked a question that even Dragon Mountain Daoist couldn't answer? Wouldn't his authority be completely lost?
With this thought.
Dragon Mountain Daoist immediately found an excuse to leave.
"Master, you haven't taught me the other Stances yet?" Ning Qi clearly felt he hadn't had enough. What Dragon Mountain Daoist didn't know was that Ning Qi had already reined in his performance significantly, otherwise, it would have been even more astonishing.
If anyone else had said that, Dragon Mountain Daoist would have surely rebuked them with 'biting off more than you can chew'.
But at this moment, listening to the voice of his Junior Brother from behind, his scalp suddenly tingled.
Teach more?
If he taught any more, his own Dao Heart would shatter!
"Let your Senior Brother and Senior Sister teach you."
Leaving these words, Dragon Mountain Daoist's figure instantly vanished into the distance.
Looking at his Master's slightly flustered back, Ning Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Am I that scary...?"
He seemed to have underestimated the impact of a Prodigy. Although he had shown incredible intelligence and wisdom in the past three years, this was the first time he had fully displayed his Comprehension Ability in the Martial Dao. He realized he should have reined it in a bit more.
Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi beside him with an innocent expression:
"First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother..."
The two of them simultaneously jolted, looking at each other and speaking in unison.
"You first?"
"You're the First Senior Brother, you go first."
"Nonsense, you're younger than me, you should go first."
"Bullshit, Master went first just now, do you mean you're older than Master?"
Watching his two Senior Brothers argue until their faces were red, Ning Qi helplessly held his forehead:
"Stop arguing, let's do it together!"
Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi immediately exchanged glances.
"Can it be done?"
"It can be done, I can handle it."
Ning Qi's eyes sparkled. He didn't want to waste time here.
After his initial contact with Martial Dao, especially with the Bixi Stance having reached a profound Realm, he already had many insights into Martial Dao.
"Then... shall we try?"
After their initial doubt, the two of them began demonstrating and explaining together.
An incense stick later.
The two of them watched Ning Qi's departing back, beginning to question their lives.
"Were you just teaching the Qiuniu Stance?"
"Nonsense, weren't you teaching the Baxia Stance?"
"So Junior Brother... learned them both at once?"
"He didn't seem to learn them slowly."
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the hurt in each other's eyes, like brothers in misfortune wanting to cry together.
It was more than just not learning slowly!
It was simply divine speed.
Compared to Ning Qi, they felt that their years of practicing Stances had been for naught!
"Junior Brother is simply not human!"
Luo Wentian sighed, a bitter smile on his face.
Xiong Shi was the same.
In front of such a Prodigy, it was indeed too difficult to bear. They finally understood the look in the eyes of those with ordinary Aptitude when they looked at people like themselves.
"However, it's a good thing."
Although they had been struck a blow, their hearts were filled with more relief.
...
Ning Qi left with light steps.
He had gained a lot today.
Master taught him the Bixi Stance, First Senior Brother taught him the Qiuniu Stance, which he primarily Cultivated, and Second Senior Brother taught him the Baxia Stance.
He had obtained three of the True Martial Nine Stances.
"There are still six Stances left: Chaofeng, Pulao, Fuxi, Chiwen, Suanni, and Yazi."
"First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are really something. They only taught me the Stances they primarily Cultivate, saying that they weren't proficient in the other Stances and were afraid of leading me astray."
Ning Qi shook his head and chuckled.
He felt that this was indeed one reason, but perhaps they also didn't want to continue being disheartened by him, or perhaps they wanted the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to also have some 'sense of participation'—in short, to experience their own disarray.
Ning Qi could only shrug at this.
There was nothing he could do; he had already tried his best to rein himself in.
But he couldn't possibly pretend to be an ordinary person when he clearly had peerless Comprehension Ability. He didn't have that kind of quirk, and there was no need for it in front of his closest people.
"Next, I'll Cultivate while learning the other Stances."
Ning Qi made his decision.
Cultivating just the Bixi Stance could not satisfy him. Although the Bixi Stance was a superior Stance, Ning Qi wanted to create a Cultivation Technique that was more suitable for himself, one that could Body Temper more quickly and lay a stronger Foundation.

In the past, without contact with Martial Dao, it naturally took a lot of time to go from zero to one, but now it was just going from one to many, which was much simpler.
In fact.
During the process of learning the three Stances just now, Ning Qi had already had many flashes of inspiration.
And he also discovered something.
"Although these three Stances each have their advantages, there seems to be some commonality between them?"
Ning Qi grew interested.
He recalled Dragon Mountain Daoist's bold words about the True Martial Nine Sons being able to fight Martial Saints, and he felt that this commonality might be the key.
Returning to his residence.
With no one to disturb him, Ning Qi could finally go all out.
He first practiced the Bixi Stance.
His eyes almost instantly changed. He hadn't even started moving, but there was already a divine and powerful aura, like a young Bixi wearing human skin.
If Dragon Mountain Daoist had seen it, he would surely have exclaimed 'monster'.
Bixi Divine Intent!
And that wasn't all.
Ning Qi practiced the Stance over and over again. Within the small courtyard, there were roars like those of exotic beasts. He had already reached the Realm of Divine Intent Perfection, which was the highest Realm the Bixi Stance could achieve.
It was fortunate that the True Disciple residences were far apart, and Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples were not allowed to approach, otherwise it would surely cause a commotion.
The more Ning Qi practiced, the more exhilarated he became. Sweat evaporated, his skin turned red, and his skin swelled like a package, as if a mouse were moving inside him.
This showed how intense the effect of skin refining was.
The eight Body Tempering Realms, each Realm was not easy to achieve.
For example, the skin refining Realm was divided into ox hide, stone hide, iron hide, and jade hide.
Some people with ordinary Aptitude might spend several years just on the skin refining Realm, or even stop at a certain minor Realm without making any further progress.
But Ning Qi felt.
He might only need a few days to achieve the ox hide Realm.
"Practicing martial arts... seems quite simple, not as difficult as Third Senior Sister said?"
Ning Qi thought.
If Ye Qinghe knew Ning Qi's inner thoughts, she would probably be speechless with emotion.
What kind of good person could Cultivate a superior Stance to the highest Realm right after stepping into the Martial Dao?
The higher the Stance Realm, the better the Body Tempering effect, naturally.
Starting with full power activation, who could possibly Cultivate better than him?
Ning Qi naturally didn't know these things.
When he got a bit tired of practicing the Bixi Stance, he switched to the Qiuniu Stance.
Not long after.
The Qiuniu Divine Intent was empowered, and then it even reached Perfection.
Next was the Baxia Stance.
Ning Qi carefully experienced the peculiarities of the three Stances.
He only stopped Cultivating when his body felt a stinging sensation, and he decisively took a medicinal bath.
Lying in the bathtub, Ning Qi touched his much tougher skin, feeling extremely delighted.
"Martial Dao is simpler than I imagined."
The path of Martial Dao was open to him. When he eventually reached the Celestial and even Martial Saint Realms, with a long lifespan, he would naturally have more time to pursue the method of immortality.
As for revenge, once he had enough strength, it would be a simple matter.
