Leng Wushuang said: "Xiaoxia, think of something in your mind and then write it down."
Li Muchan stood up and came to the railing. He turned around and held on to the railing to look at the clear lake surface, with rippling waves and shimmering lights in the sunlight.
Although Guo Xiaoxia didn't know why she was like this, when the lake owner spoke, she obeyed without hesitation. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then picked up her pen and wrote three words.
Leng Wushuang nodded lightly: "Well, okay, bring me the Lingpu tea."
"Yes." Guo Xiaoxia responded and curled away.
Leng Wushuang picked up the letter, shook it gently, and immediately broke into pieces, saying: "Okay, Li Zhu, just say it."
Li Muchan turned around, his face a little pale, and said with a smile: "Flying Phoenix Sword."
Leng Wushuang showed a smile: "Well, not bad."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Does this count as my ability to read minds?"
"Can you see clearly what others are thinking?" Leng Wushuang asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "It's like looking at flowers in the fog, looming and appearing. It requires a lot of effort. If the other party is impressed, I can see it clearly."
"Although it's not a mind-reading skill, it's still impressive." Leng Wushuang nodded lightly: "When did you have this skill?"
Li Muchan said: "After I mastered the Nine Turns Qi Refining Technique, I got this inexplicably."
"The Nine Turns of Qi Refining Technique, where you die and then live again, is reborn, it makes sense." Leng Wushuang lightly chinned his head and nodded: "This skill is just a mind-reading skill. Don't tell others about it, it is harmful and useless."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I naturally know that except the lake owner, I can't tell anyone."
Leng Wushuang said: "You understand the harm in this. Once you tell me, who dares to be with you?"
Li Muchan smiled: "Lake Master, you are so strong-minded, I can't see clearly what's inside you."
Leng Wushuang gave him a sideways glance: "If you don't need this mind-reading skill, don't use it. You can only use it on your enemies, not your own people, otherwise you will be in trouble!"
Li Muchan quickly suppressed his smile and nodded seriously.
The Lord of the Lake is indeed very wise and can understand the mysteries of it. His mind can be used or not. The human heart is complicated, yin and yang coexist, and most people have darker thoughts.
For these, we need to be inclusive. Without profound concentration and detached from the world, it will be difficult for people to bear it, and their minds will often become dark.
In this way, his mind communication has become a poison that causes people to be unable to escape.
Therefore, the Buddha often said that supernatural powers are obstacles, and not seeking supernatural powers is the right path. However, ordinary people often think that supernatural powers are necessary for advanced cultivation, but they do not know that using supernatural powers to promote Buddhism is the wrong path.
"Okay, it's time for Xia Wufeng to get impatient. Just go and see him." Leng Wushuang waved his hand.
Li Muchan said: "Lord of the lake, where is the Sanxiao Hall?"
Leng Wushuang shook his head: "They haven't made any movement yet. Wait and see. If there is no movement, it is abnormal. You need to be careful."
Li Muchan hurriedly said: "Lake Master, let me go and find out the truth."
Leng Wushuang frowned and said, "Where can we go to explore the truth?"
"Go to the north." Li Muchan said.
Leng Wushuang pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Let me think about it, you go ahead."
Seeing this, Li Muchan nodded helplessly: "Yes."
************************************************
As the sun set in the west, Xia Wufeng, dressed in a green shirt, stood in front of the cliff with his hands folded, like a pine tree, looking at the brocade-like western sky.
The green shirt was fluttering, and his jade-like face was coated with a layer of red, and his whole person seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth.
As soon as Li Muchan appeared, he turned around in a hurry, looked down at the mountainside, and smiled.
Li Muchan was holding a wine jar in one hand and a purple wooden box in the other. Inside were several side dishes, fluttering under his feet like the wind, passing over the treetops, and slowly drifting up the cliff like a white cloud.
"Senior brother!" Li Muchan put down the two objects, cupped his fists and said with a smile.
"Good boy, you are finally back!" Xia Wufeng was overjoyed.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Senior brother, I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Have you seen Qiuxia?" Xia Wufeng asked hurriedly.
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, I have met Senior Sister Meng."
"How is she doing?" Xia Wufeng asked eagerly, his eyes bright and shining like substance, piercing Li Muchan's heart.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Senior Sister Meng is imprisoned in Wuyou Cliff."
"Worryless Cliff?!" Xia Wufeng exclaimed in shock, his face suddenly turning pale. He and Meng Qiuxia were so concerned, so naturally they knew about Wuyouya.
That is the forbidden area of Haitian Palace, where the strong wind penetrates, and those with poor internal strength will die within a year and a half. Those with good cultivation will be able to hold on for a while longer.
Li Muchan said hurriedly: "But don't worry, senior brother, Senior Sister Meng has profound cultivation. She will only suffer a little hardship there, and there is no risk to her life!"
"Alas..., it's all my fault!" Xia Wufeng looked up to the sky and sighed, with a wry smile on his face.
Li Muchan said: "Senior Sister Meng has no regrets, and Senior Brother does not need to be too sad. I gave Senior Sister a bottle of Peiyuan Pill, which is enough for her to hold on, and maybe she can finally escape from Wuyou Cliff!"
Xia Wufeng shook his head: "Once you enter Wuyou Cliff, your life will be difficult to save. Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Li Muchan said: "I told Senior Sister Meng that I would like you to study a mental method and practice it for Senior Sister Meng so that she can escape from Wuyou Cliff as soon as possible!"
Xia Wufeng also knows the rules of Wuyou Cliff. If he can withstand the strong wind without invading his body by his own strength, he can escape from Wuyou Cliff and his sins will be forgiven.
But it is extremely rare to achieve this. There has only been one person since Hai Tiangong.
Although Qiuxia's qualifications are good, she is still not at the level that comes once every hundred years. If she wants to break through, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Thinking of this, his face turned a little pale again, and the corners of his mouth were bitter.
Meng Qiuxia never said anything. Li Muchan also knew about the dangers of Wuyou Cliff. Even though Meng Qiuxia had deep inner strength, he did not dare to say that there was no danger at all, so he decisively sent out the Peiyuan Pill.
Li Muchan said: "Senior Brother Xia, after some research, the two of us might be able to create a mental method that can quickly enhance our internal strength, right?"
Xia Wufeng looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't have any ways to quickly increase my internal strength, but it's too dangerous, so I haven't dared to try it."
Li Muchan hurriedly said: "That doesn't matter, let's study and improve this method and eliminate the disadvantages, right?"
He does not think that developing martial arts is a difficult task. It is precisely because of Lan Chunhe's teachings that he has no barriers to developing martial arts.
But ordinary people in the martial arts world don't dare to change their martial arts mentality. They are cautious, lest they practice wrongly, so how can they dare to change it at will?
The formation of a set of martial arts is often the essence of the wisdom of several generations. It has been made impeccable. It is difficult to improve it, and the cultivation of martial arts mental methods is often wrong by a thousand miles. Once it is modified on its own, it will easily change.
There is a risk of going crazy.
One is the lack of confidence in one's own wisdom, the admiration for predecessors, and the other is the danger of being obsessed with it, which has caused people to be conservative about martial arts mental methods. When cultivating mental methods, they think about how to fully understand, comprehend, and thoroughly
Understand it without thinking about how to change it for the better.
As for changing the mind, it is often those martial arts masters who have a deep understanding and profound knowledge of martial arts in their later years and are qualified to gain more.
Although Xia Wufeng is a genius, rare to see in a hundred years, he has never thought about creating and researching martial arts techniques.
After hearing Li Muchan's words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, his face full of disapproval.
Li Muchan hurriedly said: "Brother, we have the Lake Master here, so there is nothing to worry about. Even if the mentality is not good and you go crazy, it doesn't matter. At most, you can just start practicing from scratch!"
Xia Wufeng was startled, then nodded, feeling that it made sense. With the Lake Master here, his life was absolutely safe. Even if he went crazy, he could still be rescued by the Lake Master.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Besides, even if you go crazy, hurt your body, and lose your martial arts, it's not a bad thing to go into seclusion here, right?"
Xia Wufeng shook his head and said with a smile: "Junior brother, at such a young age, it is rare for you to have the desire to transcend this world!"
Li Muchan smiled: "Senior brother, have you ever thought about going back to the mountains with Senior Sister Meng and not asking about the affairs in the martial arts?"
Xia Wufeng shook his head: "We are young and if we don't make some achievements, how can we be worthy of the lake owner and Xiaozhu?"
Li Muchan smiled and sighed. If they really wanted to be together, retreating to the mountains and forests would be the easiest way. In that case, the two factions might not interfere too much.
But if they are not willing to be lonely and still want to walk in the martial arts world, their identities are really embarrassing, and it is difficult to get together.
He glanced at Xia Wufeng and sighed secretly.
*************************************
Seeing his expression, Xia Wufeng guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Are you trying to persuade me and Qiuxia to retreat to the mountains and forests, little junior brother?"
Li Muchan said: "Senior brother, haven't you thought about it?"
Xia Wufeng shook his head: "If it takes another twenty years, I may not be able to return to the mountains and forests, and I will be worthy of being cultivated by the lake owner, but now..."
Li Muchan said: "If this were not the case, it would be very difficult for you and Senior Sister Meng, senior brother!"
Xia Wufeng sighed: "If I fail the lake owner's cultivation because of my children's affair and cannot repay Xiaozhu, I won't be able to feel at ease and live an unhappy life."
Li Muchan nodded slowly, understanding his thoughts.
He cheered up and said with a smile: "Okay, let's have a big fight. First, create a mental method to help Senior Sister Meng get out of trouble, and then go to the lake master!"
Xia Wufeng smiled and said: "Junior brother, please don't get involved in this matter anymore, lest the Lake Master will annoy you."
Li Muchan said: "If I don't get involved, you two might end up being a couple. It doesn't matter. If the owner of the lake is annoyed with me, the most he can do is send me to a retreat with you. I have nothing to worry about anyway, so it saves trouble."
, it’s hard to concentrate on studying martial arts!”
Xia Wufeng shook his head and sat down with a smile, patted open the mud seal, and the aroma of wine immediately overflowed. He took the big bowl that was upside down on a big stone next to him and filled it up.
Li Muchan also sat down, opened the purple wooden box, and took out four dishes, two plates of meat and two plates of vegetarian dishes. The aroma was overflowing, and it was He Ruoshui's craftsmanship.
After two bowls of drinks and big mouthfuls of food, the atmosphere quickly became lively.
While chatting and laughing, Li Muchan recounted what happened in Baiyun City, detailing everything from how he had the murderous intention to get rid of Lin Ping, to how he planned it, what happened, and how things evolved later.
, and Xia Wufeng pondered it carefully.
Xia Wufeng took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Junior brother, I can't tell that you are young, but you think carefully and act calmly... When it comes to martial arts, I may have some talent.
, but when it comes to doing things, I’m far behind!”
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I gained this experience from hunting. This world is like a forest. People are no different from prey. They have to fight to the death."
"Haha, that's right, we will fight to the death!" Xia Wufeng praised loudly, poured out another bowl, picked it up, touched it with Li Muchan, drank it all in one gulp, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Only in our lake can we do this?"
Let down your guard and find true peace!"
******************************
Li Muchan nodded in agreement and drank a large bowl.
Xia Wufeng said: "That's why I can't retreat to the mountains and forests. For the sake of our peace, I have to dominate the world and scare the heroes so that they don't dare to touch us!"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
He poured another large bowl for the two of them and said with a smile: "But senior brother, there are not all bad people out there. I made a friend in Haitian Palace, named Lu Chaozong. He is very heroic and has a good temperament!"
"Lu Chaozong?" Xia Wufeng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I remembered it, I think I heard Qiuxia say that a genius came out of Haitian Palace, who amazed all the disciples. The most enviable thing is good fortune and many adventures.
, people are really speechless!”
Li Muchan smiled and said: "That's right, that's the one with a broad temperament and a pure heart. I drank with him for a day, but I still couldn't knock him down in the end!"
"Well, you should meet such a person!" Xia Wufeng said with a smile.
Li Muchan said: "Senior brother, let's develop a mental method and dedicate it to the lake and engrave it in the Hall of Stars. Maybe the lake owner will be merciful and let senior brother go!"
Xia Wufeng shook his head: "Don't even think about it. The lake owner said it will last three years and it will never change."
The two talked on the phone for another time and drank both bottles of wine. Finally, Xia Wufeng agreed to work with Li Muchan to develop a mental method.
He took out a thin booklet from his arms. It was a little yellowish in color and had damaged corners. It looked like it had not been there for a long time.
Xia Wufeng said that this was a secret book that he got accidentally. It was called the Book of Stealing Heaven, but it was actually a secret method of gathering energy to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
Seizing the essence of heaven and earth for one's own use to strengthen one's internal strength is called the Heaven-stealing Sutra. The Yin Fu Sutra says: There are five thieves in the sky, and those who steal will prosper. This sutra is derived from this meaning.
This Sutra of Pirates of Heaven mainly collects the essence of plants and trees of heaven and earth. Among metal, wood, water, fire and earth, wood energy is the most nourishing. This sutra collects wood energy.
The other four qi are only briefly mentioned. They are consistent with the principle of collecting wood qi, but are more difficult to collect. Wood qi is the easiest to collect and use.
Li Muchan took it and turned it over, nodded and said: "Brother, this Heaven-stealing Scripture is indeed wonderful, but it's a pity that it lacks the method of transformation."
Xia Wufeng nodded: "Yes, there is only the method of collecting and replenishing. The collected Qi cannot be used for one's own use, so it is just a waste of effort... It needs to be refined slowly by internal force. It is very slow and difficult. It is only as good as
My own cultivation is just a bit faster, but it’s not fast enough.”
Li Muchan nodded. This is indeed a step faster than his own cultivation. For ordinary people, it is already a rare secret. This speed cannot be seen in a short time, but will become more and more powerful as time goes by.
But for Meng Qiuxia, this quick glimmer of hope has little effect. If she really stayed in Wuyou Cliff for more than ten or twenty years, Xia Wufeng might not be able to bear it.
***************************************
Xia Wufeng said: "Junior brother, we are all practicing super-grade martial arts. The two of us will be able to perfect this technique together."
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "I do have a transformation method here, but it is an ancient Qi refining technique and cannot be passed on to others."
Xia Wufeng said: "Then based on its principles, we will create our own transformation method."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, that requires some painstaking exploration, but it's not impossible. I believe that with the two of us, we can eventually find a good way."
The two of them did as they were told, put aside eating and drinking, and began to study.
In Li Muchan's opinion, although this Heaven-Stealing Scripture is wonderful, it is one level behind the Void Qi-Inducing Technique. Regarding the method of transforming true energy, he has learned two methods, one is the Nine-turn Qi-Refining Technique, and the other is the Void-Inducing Qi Technique.
Qi Jue.
Neither of these two mental methods can be taught externally. He came up with an idea, which was to use the internal force to flow, let the true energy transform in several acupoints, remove its impurities, and form his own internal force.
What we have to do now is to find a path that can effectively transform it. There are so many big acupuncture points all over the body, like stars, it is really not easy.
However, he practiced ancient qi training techniques, and it seemed that he had opened up another world, and he had a thorough understanding of the five elements of the body, the internal organs, and the major acupuncture points, all of which were clearly presented.
When it comes to this, Xia Wufeng is much worse. Li Muchan's internal vision is clear, like looking at palm prints. He first started to practice the Wood Qi Jue, watching the changes in the aura around his body, and he has a vague understanding of the attributes of some acupoints.
Although it is not very thorough, through the practice of wood energy, one can get a general idea of it.
Even so, it is not an easy task to find the best path to transform wood energy at once. It requires careful consideration and slow experimentation.
At this point, Xia Wufeng couldn't help him. He had high cultivation and deep internal strength, but his spirit was not strong enough and he couldn't see clearly inside. He could only rely on Li Muchan to figure it out on his own.
Xia Wufeng thought Li Muchan's idea was feasible, but unfortunately he couldn't help much. He could only watch Li Muchan sink into hard thinking all day long, as motionless as a statue.
Li Muchan seemed to be in a state of trance, motionless, but his body was not idle. He was always moving, and his internal energy was flowing from one acupoint to another.
He tried to practice the Thieving Heaven Scripture, and then transformed this wood energy through the Nine Turns of Qi Refining Technique, and observed which acupoints passed through and which acupoints responded.
Although it was difficult, he slowly figured out some rules. Although it was not as efficient as the Nine-turn Qi Refining Technique and the Void Qi-Entraining Technique, it was much faster than the internal force melting.
As a result, Cai's cultivation speed is four to five times that of ordinary people. One year of cultivation is equivalent to four or five years of ordinary people, and two years is equivalent to eight to ten years, which is shocking enough.
However, this is not without end. To a certain extent, the capacity of the meridians and Dantian will be limited, which requires meridians refining methods, body refining techniques, such as the Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique.
