Chapter 4 Xu Yan’s self-reflection

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Before dawn, Xu Yan had already set up his horse stance and was practicing.

"Master said, re-enlightenment, emphasizing the meaning rather than the form, sensing the qi and blood, mobilizing the qi and blood, and tempering the skin..."

"The ancient genius completed the skin refining in five days. I haven't sensed the energy and blood yet. The gap is too big. Master said not to be impatient. The more impatient you are, the harder it is to sense the energy and blood..."

Xu Yan restrained his mind, concentrated on himself, and carefully sensed himself and his qi and blood.

The sky is a blur of white.

The morning sun was about to rise. Xu Yan, who was immersed in sensing Qi and blood, suddenly felt a warm current emerging from his chest and abdomen. It was thin and warm, and seemed to flow with his breathing.

"Qi and blood!"

"I feel the blood!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited at this moment.

"Calm down, calm down, be calm, don't get distracted..."

"Mobilize the qi and blood to temper the skin membrane... How to mobilize the qi and blood? The master didn't explain it in detail. Do you want to ask the master?"

"No! Master said, it depends on enlightenment and intention. I must grasp the feeling at this moment. If I relax, it will be difficult to sense the energy and blood again...

"Moreover, if I even ask Master in detail about how to mobilize Qi and blood, wouldn't I be disappointing Master? I feel like I don't have a good understanding."

Xu Yan thought so and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking Li Xuan for advice.

He continued to step on his horse, trying to mobilize Qi and blood over and over again, while recalling some of the explanations taught by Li Xuan on how to mobilize Qi and blood.

My mind was all focused on myself, immersed in mobilizing Qi and blood. My breathing changed unconsciously as I mobilized Qi and blood. Gradually, a wisp of Qi and blood spread throughout my body, and my skin turned slightly red, as if there was a wave of Qi and blood.

The warm current is tempering the skin membrane.

"I should be considered to have entered skin refining, right?"

Xu Yan was so excited that he finally sensed Qi and blood, and successfully mobilized Qi and blood to temper the skin membrane.



Li Xuan yawned, got up, washed up, and went out to prepare breakfast.

He is the only one left in the village, and it has become a habit for him to be self-sufficient.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xu Yan who was practicing Zha Ma Bu. The corner of his mouth twitched. This apprentice was working hard, but it was a pity that no matter how hard he worked, it would be of no use.

The method of cultivation was made up by him. Only those who can succeed in cultivation are ghosts.

"Whenever he can't hold on any longer, he comes to ask me and makes up some more stuff to fool me."

Li Xuan shook his head, turned and left.

Xu Yan was excited when he saw the master and was about to tell the master that he felt the blood.

It has entered the skin refining stage!

As a result, when he saw his master shaking his head, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Master is dissatisfied with me?"

"That's right. With Master's level, how could he not be able to tell that I have sensed my energy and blood and entered the skin refining stage?"

"Master must think that I am irritable, arrogant, complacent, and can't hold my breath..."

After Xu Yan thought for a while, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​telling Li Xuan that he had sensed Qi and blood and entered the skin refining stage.

Take a deep breath, calm down, and continue to mobilize Qi and blood to temper the skin membrane.

"Master is unfathomable. He can tell my true and false qualities at a glance. I can't be arrogant or complacent... Master can tell me at a glance how my cultivation progress is, so why should I speak?"

Xu Yan understood clearly in his heart that his master could tell how well he was practicing at a glance, so he didn't need to deliberately tell his master.

Li Xuan caught a chicken in the chicken coop and prepared to stew the Nine-leaf Yuanzhi, which is a rare treasure in the world. After eating the Nine-leaf Yuanzhi stewed chicken soup yesterday, he felt that his body was stronger.

He took out his knife and was about to kill the chicken.

Suddenly paused: "No, I have a disciple. There is no reason for me, the master, to serve the disciple. The disciple should serve the master!"

"Anyway, I lied once. He is now my apprentice. It is reasonable for him to serve me as my master, right?"

With this thought in mind, he walked towards Xu Yan with the chicken in one hand and the knife in the other.

"Disciple, come here, kill the chicken and stew it with some nine-leaf Yuanzhi. Let's go cook."

Xu Yan finished his work and took the chicken and knife from Li Xuan's hand, feeling a little confused.

"Why, you can't cook?"

Li Xuan saw him in a daze and frowned.

"That's right, Xu Yan, this idiot, is from a rich family, how can he possibly know how to cook?"

Even so, since I have been accepted as a disciple, why not make good use of it?

"Disciple, walking, sitting, sleeping and eating are all practices. Although you have not yet started, and you are too far away from the realm of being a teacher, it will be good for you to get familiar with it in advance."

Li Xuan said with a serious expression.

"Master, I'm going right away!"

Xu Yan looked serious and said respectfully.

"Master's realm is too high. It may seem like ordinary things, but in fact, this is what a master is, and this is the state of being secluded from the world!"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Master is enigmatic and seemingly ordinary, showing no power as a strong person, but this is the real hidden master!

Xu Yan went to cook.

Li Xuan was worried and stared at him for a while, and found that although Xu Yan was a bit unfamiliar with killing chickens and cooking, under his guidance, the rice he cooked should not be inedible.

So I safely moved a chair and placed it under the big tree in front of the house. Li Xuan lay on the chair, leisurely, waiting for the meal.

"It's really nice to have such a small life with an apprentice to serve you."

"With Xu Yan's brain, it is impossible to see through it in a short time, but we must prepare a retreat..."

After meal.

Xu Yan continued to practice.

"This... the speed of tempering the skin membrane has become faster, and the energy and blood have increased by at least 50%..."

"At this rate, although the skin refining cannot be completed in five days, there should be no problem in completing the skin refining within a month."

Xu Yan felt that the speed of tempering the skin membrane had greatly increased, and he was very excited.

"Why did the skin refining speed suddenly increase so much? Could it be..."

He thought of Jiuye Yuanzhi stewed chicken soup!

Nine-leaf Yuanzhi is a rare treasure, and this is the only treasure that the Xu family has. If he had not been the only child of the Xu family and was deeply loved by his parents, he would not have been able to obtain Nine-leaf Yuanzhi for the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Master!"

Xu Yan was extremely moved at this moment.

"Master knows that Nine-leaf Yuanzhi can help me practice, so he took it out and let me stew chicken!"

"I will never let down Master's hard work. I must practice hard and strive to get started as soon as possible!"

Xu Yan, who was thinking of himself, was so moved that his reverence for his master at this moment was comparable to the sun and the moon.

He mobilized Qi and blood and constantly tempered the skin membrane.

With continuous tempering, Xu Yan felt that his body was getting stronger, his qi and blood were getting stronger and stronger, and his skin became tougher, and he seemed to have started skin refining.

"I feel that my strength has more than doubled. This is just the beginning of skin refining. How strong will it be when the skin refining is completed?"

"I must start martial arts within a year!"

Xu Yan's eyes were firm.

"The effect of this Nine-leaf Yuanzhi is so good. How do I feel that my power has become stronger?"

"Do you want to have it all to yourself? Forget it, it was given by Xu Yan. Let's stew it and eat it together. You can't be too black-hearted!"

Li Xuan felt the changes in his body, and at a certain moment, he had the idea of ​​monopolizing Jiuye Yuanzhi.

After all, it was not evil enough, so I gave up the idea of ​​monopoly.
