Chapter 310: Lion King's Great Strength Divine Skills, Reversed Empowerment, Absorption Technique! (4K)_2
After breakfast, having left some food for Little Maid Cat and Xue Wan, he headed out to the Hidden Dragon Dojo.
Leaping across the rooftops, Xue Jing soon arrived at the dojo and entered through the main gate.
Maintaining his 'Aura Blockade,' even as he briskly walked past the front desk, where the receptionist was sneakily playing with her phone, she didn't notice him. Xue Jing entered the elevator and went up to the fifth floor.
Instead of going to his own Cultivation Room, he first visited the Heart-Nourishing Room, knocked on the door, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and entered.
It was just past six in the morning. Li Qi had woken up and was sitting in his wheelchair behind his desk, holding a stack of documents and scrutinizing them, occasionally turning a page.
Hearing the door open, and seeing Xue Jing enter, Li Qi immediately smiled and said,
"Is that Little Jing, this early?"
Xue Jing nodded to him, "Good morning, Master."
Li Qi hummed a response and asked, "What's up?"
"Master, come here for a moment."
Xue Jing gestured, and although Li Qi was perplexed, he set aside his documents and wheeled over to Xue Jing.
"What's this about?"
Xue Jing did not reply but instead asked,
"Master, how is your practicing of the Nirvana Technique going?"
At this, Li Qi sighed and said, "Can't say it's completely fruitless, but I'm basically clueless... With the Yellow Grannie Skill, I could manage to cultivate something based on my Taoist learning, but the Buddhist cultivation techniques are utterly beyond me."
Having mastered the Nirvana Technique upon first sight, the 'Lion Lying Nirvana Painting' was then placed in Li Qi's Heart-Nourishing Room. He stared at that painting day in, day out, yet till now, he had not gained the slightest insight, as if it were just an ordinary, unremarkable old painting.
Li Qi was once a Grandmaster who had leaped through the Dragon Gate. His body was that of a Limit Breaker, with remodeled genes, a completely different concept from a normal human body.
Even the most severe injuries were not incurable for him, but that was based on one condition... his spirit had to be intact.
The spirit of a Limit Breaker was closely related to their body, especially for someone like Li Qi, who had achieved the Dragon Gate solely through his robust spirit; the impact was even greater.
In a fierce battle over a decade ago, the True Dragon in his heart had been killed by Wan Yulai, his spiritual wounds were much more severe than physical wounds; his body would surely remain crippled as long as his heart remained so.
Previously, through the Yellow Grannie Skill brought by Xue Jing, Li Qi had trained for a long time, which had improved his physical condition somewhat.
However, compared to the Yellow Grannie Skill's focus on physical nurturing, the effects of the Nirvana Technique in healing the mind were tremendous.
Thus, Li Qi was very eager to cultivate the Nirvana Technique, as it represented his hope for recovery.
Regrettably, the more anxious he became, the more it seemed he was rejected by 'Buddha'; he stared at it daily, yet was utterly unable to understand anything.
"I see." Xue Jing nodded.
"In that case... Master, don't resist, I must offend you."
Xue Jing extended his right hand and placed it on Li Qi's scantily-haired Mediterranean scalp.
"Hmm?" Li Qi was puzzled by Xue Jing's actions, but out of trust in his disciple, he complied with Xue Jing's request and did not resist.
The next moment, his whole body suddenly shook.
As his scalp numbed, Li Qi felt something flowing from Xue Jing's palm into his brain.
Not... rather than entering the brain, it seemed to flow into something concealed at the deepest part of the brain—his spirit.
Knowledge, insights, experiences...
In a trance, Li Qi seemed to see a dreamy, fantastical scene.
Under the twin sala trees, on the Great Awakening Lotus Platform, a gigantic Buddha lay on his side, his dark blue compassionate eyes nearly closed.
Gradually, Li Qi's aged face, previously marked with a trace of ferocity, also transformed into one of compassion, just like the Buddha's.
Endless Buddhist principles emerged in his heart, transforming into pure spring water, washing over his spirit.
In the depths of his spirit, an old dragon with four legs and five claws, its head bearing horns, lay like a corpse on the ground, lifeless. Its golden scales were cracked everywhere, splintered bones protruding out, and nearly every part of its body was injured.
The spring water washed over the old dragon, cleaning some of the bloodstains from its body, then continued washing, cycling repeatedly.
Time passed unknowingly.
Xue Jing carefully performed the empowerment, transmitting the 'Nirvana Technique' to Li Qi as slowly as he could.
Only when he felt it was close to reaching Li Qi's mental limit did he stop and withdraw his hand.
Li Qi did not open his eyes immediately but maintained a prayerful gesture, his eyes closed, his expression compassionate.
All of a sudden,
his completely dry white hair began to turn black at a visible rate and became soft again.
The originally lifeless and decayed face had now flushed a bit, and some of the wrinkles had disappeared.
If he once looked like a man in his seventies or eighties afflicted with serious illness, he now seemed to be in his sixties, perhaps frail, but his spirit was still bright.
Li Qi slowly opened his eyes, leaning forward with a gasp, vomiting a mouthful of extremely turbid, pitch-black old blood.
Xue Jing walked behind him, extended his hand to channel energy, and gently stroked his back to help him regulate his breath, expressing concern:
"Master, how do you feel?"
Li Qi, gasping heavily and appearing breathless like someone with asthma, had a brightness in his eyes, a stark contrast to their previous murkiness.
"You... you youngster, truly defying the natural order."
Li Qi said while panting heavily.
"But... you did well, very well!"
As Li Qi spoke, his voice trembled, nearly choking up.
"If I weren't worried about your karma, I would kneel down and kowtow to you right now..."
With his back to Xue Jing, his dry, old arms tightly grasped Xue Jing's wrist, he slowly added:
"Little Jing... I have never believed in fate."
"But it's only you... who makes me want to thank the heavens, thankful that you became my disciple."
"This is the luckiest thing in my life."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "I also feel very fortunate to be your disciple... Master, how about it, did the Nirvana Technique help with your injuries?"
Li Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his bright eyes suppressing excitement.
"It worked, it's extremely effective."
"Soon, very soon... the 'Dragon King' will return!"
"Hahahaha!!"
Unable to restrain his excitement, Li Qi laughed out loud, his powerful voice echoing throughout the venue, leaving the disciples practicing on other floors bewildered.
...
"Master, Master, I thought I just heard Grandmaster's laughter, what's wrong with him?"
In the cultivation room, Xue Jing and his little disciple sat cross-legged, face to face, as Zong Shichan curiously asked.
"Adults occasionally behave this way, it's nothing for you to worry about," Xue Jing replied.
"Oh~" the little girl obediently responded, then cheerfully added:
"Then Master, what are we practicing today?"
Xue Jing smiled and said, "Today you don't have to practice anything, just sit still and leave everything to me."
"Huh?" the little girl wondered.
Xue Jing stretched out his palm and placed it on her tiny head.
Just as he was about to instill something into her, suddenly, an idea flashed through Xue Jing's mind.
"Wait, this skill..."
An idea spontaneously appeared in his mind, and he instinctively began to act on it.
[Empowerment]!
With focused eyes, Xue Jing deployed this skill.
Then—reverse operation!
This extraordinary skill, in essence, transformed his spiritual power into fragments of knowledge, instilling them into someone else's mind.
But what if it was reversed?

Xue Jing controlled his spiritual power to enter Zong Shichan's mind, and then began to perform [Empowerment] within her consciousness, absorbing knowledge.
The little girl's weak spiritual consciousness was hardly able to resist Xue Jing, who was a monster in this regard, and since she herself harbored no thoughts of resistance, she compliantly began to let Xue Jing manipulate her.
The girl's spiritual power was slowly transformed into fragments of knowledge, being absorbed into Xue Jing's consciousness.
