Xuanjun Secret Scripture

"We've finally arrived." Old Li jumped off the carriage, first arranging for his men to put away their luggage at the branch in Jining City, while he himself headed towards the residence where Feng Xue was, as indicated in the intelligence report.

Before he even reached his destination, he noticed a large crowd gathered ahead. He immediately went over and saw Feng Xue sitting on the stage, speaking loudly:

"The <Xuanjun Secret Scripture> consists of seven parts, divided into two volumes and a General Outline. The first volume focuses on self-cultivation, including internal energy, mental techniques, and external training; mastering it will make one immune to demonic influences. The second volume focuses on defense, including fist techniques, weapon techniques, and movement techniques; mastering it will allow one to break through all demonic arts. What I am about to discuss is the internal energy cultivation, which I have named <Immortal Sand Soul Return Skill>."

Feng Xue spoke with great magnanimity. If he hadn't actually fought his way out of Qingzhou, stepping over the corpses of countless Demonic Cult Demonic Person, most people present would probably have dismissed his words.

As for the division of the Xuanjun Secret Scripture, no one was surprised. After all, most profound secret manuals in the martial arts world were divided into this way: the first volume was on Internal Energy Mind Method, the second volume on martial arts techniques and lightness skills, plus a core General Outline...

Etc!

"Mr. Iron Clothes... no, Your Xuanjun Pavilion, you said you wanted to spread this martial art throughout the world, surely that doesn't include the General Outline? After all, shouldn't a martial art be learned starting with the General Outline?"

"Oh?" Feng Xue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, thinking that at least there was someone to keep the straight man. She immediately stopped trying to press the remote control to play the recording, glanced at the person who had spoken, and, upon recognizing it was Old Li, suppressed the urge to complain and chuckled softly:

"It's not that I'm hiding anything, it's just that although this General Outline is called General Outline, it is not actually a martial arts manual, but a medical book, which I call the 'Mandrake Longevity Method'."

"It mainly explains the structure of the human body and the working principles of various organs. Originally, it was just a discipline of collecting herbs and taking medicine to prolong life. It can be considered a summary of our school's Medical Arts."

"Rather than saying it's part of the <Xuanjun Secret Scripture>, it's more accurate to say that the <Xuanjun Secret Scripture> was created by me based on my research into the Demonic Cult sect's Demonic Person using this medical book. Therefore, I listed it as the General Outline. However, this Medical Arts is useless for improving one's own strength, and it's also difficult to learn, so I didn't plan to include it in public lectures."

Feng Xue's words did indeed elicit disappointment from many, but those government officials and martial arts Renowned Master who had seats in front of the stage all showed interest.

Ultimately, cultivation techniques are indeed too risky. In addition, the fact that countless geniuses had tried to infiltrate the Demonic Cult Sect over the past two hundred years, only to have their minds distorted by demonic energy, made them naturally wary of the cultivation techniques offered by this "Mystic Lord" nicknamed Ironclad.

But if it's Medical Arts skills, then it doesn't matter.

After all, knowledge is just knowledge.

Therefore, one of the elders of the Hundred Herbs Hall immediately stood up and said:

"Your Xuanjun Pavilion, I come from the Hundred Herbs Hall and have dedicated my life to the study of Medical Arts. Would you have the honor of having the chance to view your work?"

"That's certainly possible." Feng Xue nodded. "Actually, compared to martial arts, Medical Arts are our sect's strength. If Hundred Herbs Hall is interested, we can exchange ideas later."

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Hundred Herbs Hall immediately showed a satisfied expression. After bowing, he sat down to listen to the lecture. With him taking the lead, the people from the Demon Eradication Department also immediately expressed their desire to study the topic. They, who were skilled in martial arts, naturally did not have the ability, but they could transfer people from the Imperial Medical Office in Central State!

"Brilliant! So spreading martial arts was just a pretense; spreading Medical Arts was the real goal! That makes sense. Compared to the track that others have been studying for hundreds or thousands of years, overtaking on a curve is the right approach! In this world with extremely low levels of industrialization, even if modern medicine can't dominate the field, it's still a rare commodity."

Old Li's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He genuinely admired Feng Xue's thinking, and at the same time, he wondered if he could also find a magical world to spread mathematics, physics, or something like a Faraday cage or an electric barrier...

Old Li was lost in thought below, while Feng Xue began to recount his internal energy cultivation techniques again—

"The so-called <Immortal Sand Soul Return Skill> is about immortal sand being death and resurrection to life. This technique cultivates the energy of life and death. Death is like cinnabar, which is brittle and scattered; life is like mercury, which is condensed and heavy. It uses life and abandons death. If there is demonic energy to corrode it, life can be transformed into death, and life will be lost, while demonic energy will not corrode it."

"After mastering this skill, one can circulate the mental technique <Demon Capturing Evil Restraining Method>. This technique is an advanced version of the previously disclosed <Demon Exorcism Mind Method>. It can regulate Yin and Yang, turn the dead into the living, and can be used not only for personal use but also for rescue. After mastering it, one can directly use this technique to suppress demonic energy and specifically counter the Demonic Cult sect."

"Once the mental cultivation method is mastered, one should cultivate the <Great Yin Molting Technique>. This technique is a form of external training. The essence of demonic energy is both extremely evil and extremely yang. This method uses the energy of life and death to temper the physical body, transforming it into the form of Taiyin. This technique Extremely Yin Extremely Righteous and extremely righteous. Even if demonic energy enters the body, it will shed its Demonic Nature. If this technique is mastered and combined with the General Outline <Mandrake Longevity Method>, one can change one's tendons and bones, Reforge one's physical body, and even deformities caused by demonic energy can be restored to their original state."

"Is that really true?!"

Upon hearing Feng Xue's words, Elder Mo Wentian couldn't help but ask a question. Not only him, but most of the martial arts practitioners present also showed varying degrees of unease.

As the saying goes, "If you walk by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet." No matter how powerful a martial arts Chivalrous Hero is, their inner energy is not inexhaustible. And demonic energy, if it comes into contact with a person even slightly, will cause irreversible distortions. Therefore, these martial arts practitioners all have some degree of distortion.

Although this was just common in Yanzhou, they ultimately understood that this appearance probably made it impossible for them to integrate into the lives of ordinary people. No matter how open-minded they were, there would still be some resentment.

Now that they hear there's a chance of recovery, how could they not be Heart Moving?

"Of course it's true." Feng Xue still had a faint smile on his face. He raised his palm, and under everyone's watchful eyes, the muscles in his left hand began to tense and twist. In an instant, it became as ferocious and terrifying as the claw of a demon.

However, no one found this level of change strange. After all, it's just a matter of muscle control, and any master present could do it.

But then, to their astonishment, they discovered that Feng Xue's index finger suddenly twisted strangely, as if it had turned into a tentacle!

"!!!"

Almost instantly, the elders of the Demon Eradication Department placed their hands on their weapons, and most of the other martial arts practitioners also reacted somewhat instinctively. However, Feng Xue calmly said:

"This is nothing more than the application of some Medical Arts and human anatomy. Apart from that, it's no different from the muscle control methods that everyone knows. If you don't believe me, you can come up and check it out. There's absolutely no trace of demonic energy erosion here."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, under the pressure of everyone's gazes, the elder from the Hundred Herbs Hall called three or four fellow disciples and cautiously approached. After a moment, they dispelled their protective aura with expressions of shock. At this moment, even though the results had not yet been announced, they already understood that what this person said was probably true!

Someone asked why the protagonist suddenly changed from a cold and serious demeanor to a cheesy pickup line broadcaster when facing Chen Xiyao...

I thought I had written this quite clearly.

First, the Benchmark for the change lies in the communication facilitated by the phone number and the Tag of "Chen Xiyao's Scandal Boyfriend".

In short, during the protagonist's interaction with the officials, some seemingly plausible but ultimately false information was revealed.

Afterwards, he took advantage of being Tag as the "Scandal Boyfriend" to show some changes.

Think about it: how would the authorities interpret this situation?

In Chen Xiyao's memories, the protagonist is taciturn and a typical assassin. However, after his perception changes, the protagonist begins to become a character with an ambiguous relationship with Chen Xiyao.

Will this change lead officials to believe that "a change in perception altered the nature of the Weird Tale"?

This would convey to the authorities the idea that "as long as public opinion can be controlled, the Weird Tale can be affected," which would help the authorities lower their guard when communicating with the main characters.

Secondly, from the official perspective, people with weaknesses are easier to communicate with than gods without weaknesses. Having a "lover" within the system makes communication in all aspects much easier, and things that are inconvenient to discuss directly with officials can be conveyed more easily.

So regardless of whether Feng Xue truly likes Chen Xiyao, both sides are happy to create an atmosphere of "you two should get married soon," which helps advance the cooperation, understand?

To put it simply, it's a political marriage, you understand?
