Past Martial Arts, Ascending to the Great Self! The Madam Will Surely Be Astonished When They Meet.

Li Xian was highly regarded by Xu Shaoqian, and his strength, ability, and performance were all outstanding. Xu Shaoqian originally wanted to give him the position of Gold Steward immediately. However, Lei Chong interfered, citing Li Xian's seniority.

Li Xian's time in the Gold-Seeking Guard was ultimately too short. Including the Probationary Cavalier, it had been almost two months. Such a rapid rise was against the rules of the Gold-Seeking Guard. Xu Shaoqian, upon hearing this, also felt that it made sense, so the position of "Gold Steward" was temporarily vacant, with only a verbal promise to Li Xian to prepare.

Lei Chong may appear rugged, but he is actually quite perceptive. Yet, he still feels jealous, realizing that Xu Shaoqian's failure to immediately appoint a new "Gold Steward" means that the vacant position will eventually be given to Li Xian.

He could be promoted at the right time. Lei Chong glanced at him coldly, thinking, "This kid really got lucky. Although he has some ability, he's been valued by Xu Central Lang General, which is a blessing he's accumulated over several lifetimes. Hmph, if he dares to be arrogant in front of me just because of that, he'll regret it." Since he held this view, every time he met Li Xian, he felt that Li Xian was a petty person who had achieved success and would definitely boast to others in secret. He also thought, "I, Lei Chong, rose from humble beginnings to the position of Lang General, which has always been my proudest achievement. Now, meeting this kid, his Chest-Drum Thunder Resonance, his voice surpassing mine, and he's younger and more aggressive. If this kid really gains power, it will be very disadvantageous for me! Should I secretly..."

His eyes darted around, as if concealing a trick.

In reality, he was narrow-minded. He came from humble origins, and after gaining power, he became even more cruel to poor children. Although Li Xian was ambitious, he had only a superficial relationship with Yu Hai. Yu Hai's death dampened his joy of advancement. Although the position of Gold Steward was within reach, he only thought that he must be extremely careful when pursuing thieves in the future, and not follow in his footsteps.

He received "a bowl of Essence Soup", "fifteen taels of silver", and "thirty-five military merits". Li Xian drank the Essence Soup. This bowl of Essence Soup was called "Immortal-Paste Dream-Gel Soup", which contained the rich Heaven and Earth Essence.

Among the world's Essence Treasure Human Yellow, Earthly Radiance, Heavenly Essence, and the flesh of demons, as well as "Natural Essence Treasure" that lie between the two. This "Immortal-Paste Dream-Gel Soup" uses "Dream Immortal Gel" sourced from the deep sea.

This thing is neither a demon, nor is it Human Yellow, Earthly Radiance, or celestial Heavenly Essence, yet it contains the Heaven and Earth Essence and earth. Therefore, it is also among the Essence Treasure. It is easy to cook, and its Heaven and Earth Essence is more concentrated than that of ordinary demon flesh.

Li Xian drank it down in one gulp, generating forty-two strands of the Heaven and Earth Essence. After being strengthened by the Consumption, these strands became seventy-six, with sixty-three strands retained. As his cultivation level increased, each time he consumed the Essence Treasure, his body was filled with the Heaven and Earth Essence of Heaven and Earth Essence and earth, and he could retain even more of it.

Li Xian drank the Essence Soup every day, attempting to retain the Heaven and Earth Essence. Over time, he figured out a trick or two, enabling him to retain one or two more strands than before. Seemingly insignificant, this accumulated over time could save him a large sum of money.

Counting his military achievements, he had already earned 114. Li Xian finished his shift that day. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that were his monthly "rest days," which he could spend as he pleased.

Back at Jujube-Pasture Residence, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Gold-Seeking Guard was indeed highly respected, but how could one be safe when facing vicious and ruthless people? Jade City's defenses were already solid, and the surrounding terrain was unique, with mountains surrounding it, making it like a paradise on earth.

While they could defend against a large army pressing in, they could not prevent petty riots. Every day, disturbances, killings, deaths, and uprisings occurred frequently. Compared to other places, it was relatively stable, but not absolutely stable.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Whenever such a calamity occurs, the news is immediately suppressed. Therefore, ordinary people rarely know what's going on. This is for the best; what good would it do for ordinary people to know? It would only add to their panic."

He didn't think about all that. With the rich Heaven and Earth Essence within his body, Li Xian began practicing martial arts to digest it, striving to digest it completely in the coming days. When he first joined the Gold-Seeking Guard, the Artifact Cauldron Pavilion tailored a Tiger Saber and a dragon-shaped spear for him.

The dragon spear was silver, gleaming brightly. Li Xian Intent Infusion, and the spear emitted a buzzing sound. Li Xian swept the spear's tail horizontally, stirring up a gust of wind. The jujube trees in the distance rustled.

The Wraith Spear has Peak Mastery, steadily approaching the "Grand Self" realm. The first and second levels of the Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword are both at the Grand Self. The Four Directions Fist, the Clearwind Leg Heavenly Thunder Finger Leg, the Thunderous Finger, the Jade Luo Palm, the Flying Snake Hand... all are gradually showing signs of the Grand Self realm.

Although Li Xian arts are neither systematic nor a distinct school, his pure pursuit of mastery and excellence in everything is a rare find.

Striving for perfection and constantly reviewing what he has learned, Li Xian mastered the martial arts of the One Accord Manor, Flower Cage Sect, various miscellaneous martial arts, and the Five-Elements Esoteric Escape Techniques, constantly refining and revising them.

At this moment, he felt something. Although he was using spear techniques, his past martial arts skills suddenly became brilliant. Li Xian pointed his spear, and the tip of the spear touched the most essential point of the "Four Directions Fist".

The skill accumulated over a long period of time suddenly reached its peak.

[With consistent practice, you will reach the pinnacle of Grand Self in the Four Directions Fist.]

[Four Directions Fist]

[Proficiency: 3/0 Grand Self]

[Description: All directions are mine. Your mastery of this martial art is unparalleled, yet the path of martial arts is endless and without end.]

Li Xian felt a surge of inner Inner Steam, his heart overflowing with indescribable joy. Since Peak Mastery, he had no longer devoted time to specifically practicing martial arts such as the Four Directions Fist. However, he frequently reviewed his techniques, gradually accumulating proficiency. His foundation grew increasingly profound, and at this point, reaching the Great Realm was a natural and inevitable outcome!

The lake suddenly rose three zhang (approximately 10 meters)!

This was just the beginning. Li Xian swept his spear back, an extremely ordinary movement, yet it seemed to have swept away the obstacles in front of "Clearwind Leg". Clearwind Leg followed closely behind, stepping into the realm of "Grand Self".

The lake has grown another three zhang!

The body of the lake surged and churned, as if boiling, its contents seemingly being steamed, with white clouds rising from the boiling water. Li Xian felt boundless inspiration, having already immersed himself in the exploration of martial arts, and flicked his dragon spear.

Though he held a gun, it was as if he were wielding a knife. This light flick contained the essence of the Great Luo Saber Technique practiced hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times.

The Great Luo Saber Technique has reached the Great Self Realm, and its power has increased further. With the changes in his spear techniques, every chop, sweep, flick, thrust, tremble, and smash is accompanied by a fundamental martial art of Grand Self.

Four Directions Fist, Clearwind Leg, Great Luo Saber Technique, Flying Snake Hand, Iron-Copper Body, Cloud-Soaring Hand. Each martial art increased its range by three zhang. In this instant, it had increased by eighteen zhang.

Li Xian's blood boiled, Double Pupils appeared uncontrollably. His entire body was filled to the extreme with Inner Steam, and invisible waves of energy swirled around him, causing his long hair to fly wildly. This momentum had not yet stopped.

Li Xian unleashed his spear technique. His Jade Luo Palm reached the pinnacle of Grand Self, causing the lake to suddenly increase by four zhang! All his past efforts manifested in this single moment. One reaps what one sows. Heaven Rewards Diligence; this is indeed the way.

Following closely behind... Heavenly Thunder Finger, Vast-Expanse Leg, Xun Wind Breath, and the Blood-Spitting Canon. Although Xun Wind Breath is a basic martial art, its quality is quite good, comparable to Heavenly Thunder Finger and Jade Luo Palm.

In an instant, it increased by another twenty feet. Li Xian's eight meridians and acupoints throughout his body were filled with rich internal energy.

In that instant, all previous martial arts techniques reached the Great Self Realm. Li Xian's Yan Lake reached a full 191 zhang.

Another transformation will occur, a qualitative change arising from quantitative change. In martial arts competitions, inner strength is of paramount importance. Li Xian Xian's strength is more than double that of other martial artists of his age. Lei Chong and others are older and have practiced martial arts for longer, but their strength may not surpass that of Li Xian.

Moreover, many of his martial arts techniques have reached the realm of "Grand Self." When Li Xian uses his martial arts, it is as easy and natural as a fish in water. His whole body exudes an indescribable charm. He is unique and one of a kind.

A spiritual light shimmered in Yan Lake. Several more strands of Martial True Intent were added. In this one hour, Li Xian absorbed seven strands of "Heaven and Earth Essence." The abundance of his harvest was truly unimaginable.

Li Xian gradually withdrew his stance, calming the evolution of his martial arts. He couldn't help but feel smug. "All my past martial arts have reached the Great Self Realm. Such attainment, even if Madam were to witness it, would surely be astonished. That day, when I used the Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword to subdue Madam, she showed surprise upon learning that my Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword had reached the Great Self Realm. She seemed to have heard of the Great Self Realm before, but even with Madam's knowledge, she was still astonished by this Grand Self Grand Self, astonished that such attainment truly existed in the world. This shows how rare such a sight is, even mistaken for a false rumor."

"The martial arts that Madam has taught us can be considered to have surpassed their teachers, reaching Grand Self. I wonder how surprised she will be if we were to display them to her one day."

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, his expression leisurely. After all, he was young, and with his achievements, he couldn't help but feel a desire to show off. Although the two had been separated for over a year, Li Xian both loved and feared his wife. However, when there was good news to share, his wife was always his first priority.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Those skilled in battle often achieve little. Although Madam is extremely beautiful, powerful, and possesses wealth Non-Self reach, her reputation is faint. This is similar to the saying, 'Those skilled in battle often achieve little.' Those who have witnessed Madam's abilities and charm all dare not speak of her. Just like the turmoil in Flying Dragon City — the Five-Mountain Sword Alliance, He Feilong... and so on—who would want to talk about Madam?"

"If I hadn't been there in person, who would have known that Flying Dragon City was actually destroyed by the Madam? Although she didn't deliberately try to hide it, she always managed to slip away unnoticed afterwards. On the contrary, I've been unfairly blamed."

"I still have a lot to learn from Madam."

Li Xian couldn't help but recall his wife's figure, voice, and smile, which floated before his eyes. He also thought of the snow-capped mountains and icy lakes, the carriage and bedding. He imagined her living a carefree life in that carriage, while his wife was carelessly restrained, unable to move, and at his mercy.

Then she thought of Nangong Liuli again. It felt like a year had passed since they parted ways. She wondered if Liuli was doing well after the Nangong Clan.

Many thoughts raced through his Heart Lake. Finally, he gathered them all up, Li Xian gaze resolute. Although the lady was stunningly beautiful, she was no pushover. He would need to gain strength before he dared to accept the beauty's affections.

A waning moon hangs in the sky.

Li Xian digested the Internal Force, threw a punch in mid-air, the residual energy still lingering, continuing to evolve his fist technique and intent. Another thought came to his mind, "With my current abilities, if I were to face Zhao Ranran again, I wonder what the scene would be like."

On the day of the duel at Severed Palm Peak, Zhao Ranran's strength was extremely formidable, and her Heaven-Scroll Sword was incredibly sharp. Although Li Xian did not seek victory but only to feign death, most of the martial arts he had learned had already been put to use. Even his Archery were rendered useless. She was truly a formidable opponent rarely encountered in his life.

Li Xian thought to himself, "Although I have made progress, I am still far from being a genius like her! I don't need to be arrogant, I don't need to be disappointed, and I don't need to compare myself with others. I just need to stay true to myself. It's just a pity that so many martial arts have reached the Great Self Realm."

"But this also shows that I need to find stronger martial arts to truly make great progress! Gold-Seeking Guard has martial arts schools, but they require a lot of military merit. My hundred or so martial arts points can be exchanged for a very unique basic martial art, but advanced martial arts are hard to Entry Vehicle. Oh well, I'll just have to accumulate them properly!"

The next day was a day off. Li Xian had plenty of money, fifteen taels to spend. He changed his clothes and put on a new mask.

Using the "Bronze Dagger" as a token, go to the Nine-Zhang Money Tower to collect the silver. Li Xian utters the code "Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight," and successfully obtains "twenty taels" of silver. With this, he now has thirty-five taels of silver.

The silver coins from Jade City have a lotus flower pattern on the bottom. At that time, the chaos of the Great Wu was already intense, and the imperial court could not collect local taxes. Many Aristocratic Clan families and military forces... carved out their own territories.

Each had its own method of melting and casting silver. The characters and patterns on the bottom of the silver pieces varied. Usually, there was little difference, and they could be used interchangeably. However, sometimes, they could serve to indicate the provenance of the silver, reduce trouble, and highlight one's status.

Take, for example, the Nangong Clan Wanghe Circuit. The silver they mint bears the four characters "Nangong" and "Tong'an" on the bottom. When their Lineage travel, they prepare the Lineage's silver. Whether staying at an inn or auctioning off goods, as long as they pay the silver, discerning travelers in the martial arts world will know its origin and background.

However, if one conceals their identity, they can use a seal to imprint the design. Of Li Xian's thirty-five taels of silver, twenty-seven taels are stamped with "Heavenly Treasure Universal Coin," and eight taels are stamped with "Human Accord Sword-Passage Coin."

"Heavenly Treasure Universal Coin" is an official silver coin from the Heavenly Treasure Era era of the Great Martial Dynasty. "Human Accord Sword-Passage Coin" is a privately minted silver coin from the martial arts faction "Sword Lake Manor". They also have slight differences in shape.

The sword was more rounded and easier to hold during the Heavenly Treasure Era era. Human Accord Sword-Passage Coin sharper, vaguely resembling a sharp blade. All this knowledge was imparted by Gold-Seeking Guard during his midday lessons.

Li Xian had also heard his wife briefly explain that the silver she bestowed upon him and used frequently was "Daoyuan Kaiyuan Coin". Now it was "Forty-Third Year of Dao-Origin", and this "Daoyuan Kaiyuan Coin" silver was minted gradually during the Daoyuan era of the Great Martial Dynasty.

If one is familiar with the art of silver casting, one can discern the year, month, and time of casting. However, this requires exceptional eyesight and profound knowledge. Li Xian has only ever seen "Madam" do this.

However, he had not yet taught Li Xian how to identify silver. The silver that the lady occasionally bestowed upon him was inscribed with "Literary Sea, Martial Peak". This was silver from the Great Yu Dynasty, which had long since ceased to be minted, but it was still circulating in the market.

Li Xian had long known that the "Madam" had some connection with the former Yu, but upon careful consideration, he figured that even if there was a connection, it wouldn't be very deep. The Great Yu for a long time, while the Great Wu had gone from its initial establishment to its peak, and then to the brink of chaos.

He acquired the money, and coincidentally, Li Kuo, Chang Ziqiang, and Yao Fan were also on leave. Li Xianyu had few friends in Yucheng, so he invited the three of them to tour Yucheng together to pass the time and enjoy the scenery.

Li Kuo had something to attend to. He had recently become acquainted with a woman from the Bai Clan and was trying to win her over so that he could marry into the Bai Clan. Therefore, with such an important matter at hand, he politely declined Li Xian's invitation.

Chang Ziqiang and Yao Fan agreed to go on the trip together. Chang Ziqiang lived in Renhua Ward and his life was monotonous. Although he was born and raised in Jade City, he had never had any fun or relaxation. Yao Fan was a member of a prominent Aristocratic Clan, had many friends, and was naturally carefree. He was also the most familiar with the environment of Jade City.

The three of them enjoyed their trip to Jade City. They first visited the "Mountain-Lake Gardens," a vast garden with lakes and mountains. There was an ancient temple and a bronze bell in the mountains.

There are two martial arts temples located nearby. He often takes his disciples to the garden to train their bodies, hone their martial arts skills, demonstrate combat techniques, and use the environment to showcase their martial arts skills.

High on the mountain peaks of the garden, among the trees, one could often see martial arts disciples practicing their lightness skills, their figures leaping and bounding, giving the garden a unique vitality. Yao Fan told Li Xian that those who could open a martial arts temple in Jade City were all formidable in strength and ability. Jade City had twelve major clans, as well as forces that were no less powerful than the clans. Jade City was vast, and its depths were unfathomable; no one dared to claim they had completely figured it out.

Therefore, even members of the clan do not look down on martial arts schools at will. Martial arts schools in Jade City are also graded, with "Leisure-Class Martial Academy" that are for casual enthusiasts to get a basic understanding of martial arts. These schools have a few basic martial arts techniques and can teach people a few moves.

Those with good natural talent can develop some internal strength, but that's all they can do; there's absolutely no possibility of further advancement. Then there's the "Proper-Vocation Martial Academy," which is more conventional and allows one to truly learn martial arts techniques and understand the principles of martial arts.

One can reach the level of "Excellent Heavenly Cycle Circulation and Blood Solidification and Aperture Closure". Martial artists who reach this level can rely on it to seek employment. After that comes "Cauldron-Borrowing Martial Academy", which is a martial temple with considerable strength, ability and influence.

The martial arts tradition is well-established, but because it lacks a "cauldron," it is necessary to borrow one from a higher martial arts sect. The cost of learning martial arts is extremely high, exceeding three thousand taels per year. However, by joining a "Cauldron-Borrowing Martial Academy," one can strive to reach First Martial Realm.

Finally, there is the "Cauldron-Master Martial Academy," which possesses a cauldron and can independently cook food. It is extremely powerful, and its martial arts disciples, once they have mastered their skills, may be admitted to the Thirty-Two True Guards or start their own businesses elsewhere.

Li Xian and his companions arrived at the lakeside in the garden. They saw two groups of martial arts disciples from different martial arts schools standing on the lake shore, striking the water with their palms. They used their Inner Steam to Wave-Pushing Palm the water and enhance the unique martial arts techniques of their martial arts schools.

It stirred up impressive waves on the lake.

If Jade City had money, ordinary people would indeed have the opportunity to learn martial arts. After briefly admiring the Lake Mountain gardens, the three of them heard that a poetry duel between talented scholars was taking place in the "West-Corridor Ward".

Naturally, I went to join the fun. There, in the bustling market and among the restaurants, several scholars were waving their folding fans and composing poems on the spot. Inside the restaurants, there were those skilled in literature who immediately analyzed the merits of the poems.

This drew gasps of surprise from the crowd, who praised and cheered loudly.

The physical battles were fraught with danger, while the literary battles were rife with undercurrents. The more they fought, the more exhilarating it became. The literary spirit gathered, and as the scholars spoke, it subtly carried an extraordinary aura, even creating a unique spectacle.

It's like when a scholar writes the line "A flock of birds sings in unison, like the bells of a phoenix," he reads it aloud, and everyone can actually hear a flock of birds singing and a phoenix making a sound. When he writes the line "A kaleidoscope of colors appears in spring," it's unclear whether it's a coincidence or the Unseen force at play.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting a truly colorful halo.

In reality, "literati" possess "Fortune," which, though without lethal force, exerts its influence in the the Unseen realm. It is indeed real. In this literary contest, several of the participating scholars were all highly talented individuals possessing Fortune.

That's why it's special.

This literary immersion was truly captivating. Even as the competition drew to a close, a winner remained elusive. Chang Ziqiang remarked, "It's rather strange. There have been many literary contests lately. It seems there are more great writers in Jade City than before. Is there some important matter among these scholars that brings them together in Jade City?" Yao Fan laughed, "Brother, you are quite ignorant. In a while, the number of scholars in Jade City will surely increase several times over. The most talented writers from all over the world will flock to Jade City. Hehe, that magnificent scene will truly be... a rare sight indeed."

Chang Ziqiang asked, "Brother Yao, how did you know?"

Yao Fan said, "My Yao Clan is a prominent clan in Jade City. Since we have property and businesses in the city, surely we have connections outside the city as well? Our network of informants is naturally much wider. Moreover... my Yao Clan has long maintained correspondence with some prominent scholars and influential figures, and several of them are close friends of our clan. We can gradually learn about them through just a few words." Li Xian laughed and said, "In that case, when the time comes, won't we be quite busy?"

Yao Fan said with relish, "It's probably inevitable. Speaking of which... fights between martial artists can be heard everywhere. I'd really like to see what it would be like if scholars could have a group battle."

Li Xian also thought, "I have never experienced such a scene of Sword-Tongue Exchange, a contest of literary Fortune."

They explored the surroundings that day, and at night, Li Xian hosted a banquet, inviting the two to drink and eat. Having spent the day together, they became much more familiar with each other. After the banquet, they parted ways, promising to travel to Jade City together again if they had the chance.

The entertainment options in Jade City extend far beyond this place.

Li Xian spent his days idly playing and his nights diligently practicing. He was improving his skills in "Heavenly Pivot Saber Method", "Suffering Body Scripture", "Stone-Pushing Palm Method", "Flicked-Finger Golden Light", and "Sole-Self Heart Technique", with his proficiency increasing day by day.

In the dead of night, soak in the bathtub again, breathe calmly, and expel the turbid air from your internal organs and bones.

[Proficiency +1]

On the second day of his vacation, Li Xian visited the Miraculous Healers Pavilion. After several visits, he became acquainted with Yao Baishun. Holding a temporary medical license, he sat down to practice medicine and treat patients.

That day, while practicing medicine at noon, he encountered "Yao Yin". She was wearing a light pink dress and white boots, with two short yellow flower hairpins in her hair. She was young, beautiful, and very charming.

She arrived riding a strange horse named "Fragrant Mist." Her clothes and attire were very elegant. She had already returned to her Lineage home from the inn. The two were naturally delighted to meet again. When Yao Yin learned that Li Xian had become Gold-Seeking Guard) and was already the leader of the central formation, she was both surprised and delighted.

Then she raised her head, boasting about her help. If it weren't for her help, how could Li Xian have achieved what he has today in such a short time? She then made a show of wanting to empty Li Xian's pockets in one go.

Li Xian had already spent several taels of silver on a meal yesterday. With a wry smile, he had no choice but to spend even more money, going to an expensive restaurant and waving his hand to let Yao Yin order whatever she wanted.

Yao Yin didn't stand on ceremony and ordered several delicacies. In the blink of an eye, more than ten taels of silver vanished without a trace. Li Xian took the initiative to offer wine and said many nice things, making Yao Yin giggle and laugh, which made her very happy.

After the feast, everyone got along very well. Li Xian was free the next day and happened to meet Yao Yin. Naturally, he invited Yao Yin to go on a trip together. Yao Yin looked at him strangely. The next day, she wanted to bring several Registered Physician to visit her close friends and go on a trip with Li Xian, so naturally, it was not possible.

But then she thought again, carefully observing Li Xian's figure, and smiled, "It's Major Accomplishment for us to travel together tomorrow. If there's a chance, we can reschedule for another day. I'll act as your guide and take you to some nice places to visit, which will be a way of repaying this invitation."

He then crossed his legs and said with great interest, "Little Li, would you like to come with me for a stroll through the inner chambers of a secluded boudoir? I can introduce you to some noble ladies of Jade City." Li Xian laughed and said, "Are you teasing me?"

Yao Yin said, "I'm being serious. Your medical skills are quite good, and... well, your figure and appearance are quite remarkable. If you come with me to practice medicine, it won't be beneath me, and you'll also get to know powerful and influential people. It might be helpful to you in the future. Besides... those women are quite beautiful."

Li Xian slammed his hand on the table and stood up, solemnly saying, "No need for further words. I will be waiting for you at the appointed time tomorrow."

Yao Yin was taken aback, and somewhat reluctant, saying, "Forget it, forget it. If you keep flirting like this, I can't be your friend anymore." Li Xian said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yao Yin pouted and said, "I think you're the most clueless." She stopped refusing, made a three-point agreement with Li Xian, and agreed to go the next day.

That day and night.

[The Five Organs Purge-Turbidity Revive-Yang Scripture; Bone-Strengthening Section]

[Proficiency: 32/1600 Proficiency]

[Description: You moved the Bone Turbidity, comprehended the heavens and earth, and comprehended the "Tough Bone" characteristic. You also comprehended the "Reverse-Blood Bone Healing" characteristic and the "True Bone" characteristic. Nourishing bones with blood makes the bones stronger, which coincides with the Second Martial Realm. Li Xian's physical body was already strong, and his bone quality was stronger than others. But obtaining the "Tough Bone" characteristic was not just adding icing on the cake, but strengthening it even further.]

The characteristic of Tough Bone is its toughness. Excessive rigidity leads to breakage; only by balancing strength and flexibility can one remain invincible. Every instance of brute force requires strong bone support.

However, bone injuries often require a long recovery period. If the injury is severe, it may even require scraping the bone. The "Reverse-Blood Bone Healing" property uses reverse blood flow to consume Blood Qi, thus healing and nourishing the body and bones.

It can be extremely useful for healing!

Furthermore, as Li Xian's Blood Qi became abundant, his physical strength increased even further. This unique physique grew increasingly powerful. As the Heaven and Earth Essence within his body was gradually digested, his bones began to subtly transform.

Furthermore, regarding the characteristics of "True Bone," a person's aura partly emanates from their "bones." There is a saying that goes, "good at heart" or "evil at heart," meaning that a person's nature is either good or evil. Even if one pretends to be good later, it will eventually be revealed.

Although it's a common saying, it reveals a profound truth. People have vitality, and bones have backbone. If you lose your backbone, you can no longer support your physique. The characteristic of "True Bone" is to reveal one's true nature, which adds to one's imposing presence.

Li Xian exuded a subtle aura from within, making him appear even more elegant and graceful.

The next day, as promised, he accompanied Yao Yin to visit her close friend's secluded room.
