Chapter Twenty Six - Peerless Technique

To which my reply was baseless.
“And what then of [Control]?” they broke again.

I note now, that Jinglui was not a patient man. Nor did he share the same passion for this undertaking as many others did.
Proving vocal, and brutish in each instance of his self-fuelled haste.
Murmurs - hearsay and speculation - would oft fly from my bloodied lips in these moments of his rage. “For a [Spirit Serpent], it is the coil of its tail. Its cultivator, the flex of their limbs, and the crook of spine without breaking. The dexterity of fingers. Yet Qi must too bend. It must flow through [Channels], and wind at the will of its host.”
To which he would reply - “A broad river cannot be be crossed with a bridge so thin.” A saying now much engraved in each knuckled depression that aches as I move this very quill.
