Li Muchan's spirit perked up, and he suddenly understood that this Jade Scripture not only cultivates internal strength, but also the spirit, and the internal strength is strange, with a hint of spiritual power.
Such internal force can be manipulated more easily and with greater power. It is truly an extremely brilliant mental technique, rarely seen in the world.[..com]
Coming to Yunxiao Sect and getting this mental method is already a great gain.
This mental method has been tested by countless generations and is the hard work of countless people. He can imagine that in order to perfect this mental method, countless people have gone crazy and even died.
It's not that he didn't think of this method, but when it comes to the acupuncture points on his head, he needs to be very careful. He doesn't dare to experiment at will, just looking for death. The person who created this mental method is both a genius and a madman, and he feels that he is not the same.
Li Muchan has always been proud of himself. When it comes to wisdom and understanding, he has a very high self-esteem. He rarely meets people who make him sincerely convinced, let alone those who are beyond his reach and willing to be inferior. This senior who created the Jade Sutra is the first.
He sat quietly in the hot spring, motionless, and slowly pushed his mind to operate. After his mind became clearer, he started to run his mind again, but illusions were still everywhere, and they became more powerful.
Li Muchan's mind was as immovable as a mountain. The concentration he had formed over a long period of time was at this moment powerful, and all kinds of illusions could not be shaken. He was like a god, quietly watching all kinds of illusions, letting them arise and die, and his mind was the same.
Circle after circle, after each circle, the spirit grows one point, and the next illusion will be even stronger, just like reality.
None of these are of use to Li Muchan. All illusions are unmoved. His spirit has become a relic, his heart is as calm as a mountain, and all illusions are like the breeze blowing over the hills.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Li Muchan was intoxicated, the water surface suddenly fluctuated. He suddenly opened his eyes, slowly floated up, and stuck his head out of the water.
"Senior?" he asked in surprise.
The movement just now was caused by Gu Hengdi, who wanted to wake himself up.
"Are you okay?" Gu Hengdi frowned and stared at him. His eyes were clear and a bit brighter than before. They had a soul-stirring power.
She was shocked. Her expression remained as usual, and a smile slowly appeared on her dignified and beautiful face: "Wuji, have you practiced?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Not bad."
"How many days have you been lucky?" Gu Hengdi asked.
Li Muchan said: "I don't remember. It must have been more than ten weeks."
Gu Hengdi nodded softly: "Hmm. That's right, but don't be too hasty the first time you practice. You have to do it step by step, otherwise it will hurt your body."
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, thank you, senior."
Gu Hengdi said: "Let's finish training today. I heard that your swordsmanship is very good?"
Li Muchan smiled: "I can't say it's good. I like practicing swordsmanship and have a natural affinity for swords. It seems that I practiced swordsmanship in my previous life."
Gu Hengdi nodded: "Okay. Come with me and let me see your sword skills."
Li Muchan came out of the hot spring, shook lightly, and his clothes were immediately clean, as if he had never been wet. Gu Hengdi glanced at him, it was rare to see such pure skills, even inner sect disciples could not match them.
The two of them left the back garden and came to the martial arts training field in front. The bright sunshine shone on the martial arts training field. All the disciples gathered in a circle. The swords in the circle flashed and jingled, and everyone cheered from time to time.
Although they were watching the good show, they still kept their eyes and ears in all directions. The disciples outside noticed Gu Hengdi's approach and moved out of the way.
Gu Hengdi led Li Muchan into the inner circle, and saw Gu Chengzheng and Mo Tianhai fighting together. Gu Cheng's sword was calm and calm, while Mo Tianhai was like a raging wind and waves. One of them attacked and the other defended, and it was difficult to tell who was superior.
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes slightly. Their swordsmanship was indeed unique. The sword light flowed and was dense and dense. Regardless of whether it was offensive or defensive, the sword power was continuous and uninterrupted. This gave a faint hint of sword intent.
Since he came to this world, he has not seen many swordsmanships, and there are even fewer swordsmanships with swordsmanship. Baiyun Sect's swordsmanship is the best, especially when He Lizhu came, he brought out his swordsmanship. However,
The sword's will is not pure enough, so its power is inferior.
Gu Cheng and Mo Tianhai's sword intentions were even better, but from Li Muchan's point of view, their sword intentions were just imitations, without their own shadow or soul, and their power had not yet been fully unleashed.
"Ding ding ding ding..." Amidst a series of clear sounds, the two of them were fighting happily.
Gu Hengdi clapped his hands, and the two of them suddenly separated. Each took two steps back and looked over. Gu Hengdi said: "You two will fight for a whole day and it's hard to tell the winner. Let's stop for a moment."
"Master." Everyone greeted him one after another.
Gu Hengdi said: "Tianhai, you can spar with Wuji and try his sword skills."
"This..." Mo Tianhai looked at Li Muchan and then looked at Gu Hengdi in embarrassment.
Gu Hengdi said calmly: "Wuji's swordsmanship is very powerful. If you don't believe me, ask Cheng'er."
Gu Cheng said: "I have never seen Junior Brother Li's swordsmanship, but Miss He from Baiyun Sect said that Junior Brother Li's swordsmanship is extraordinary."
"Miss He?...He Lizhu?" Mo Tianhai asked.
"Yeah." Gu Cheng nodded.
Mo Tianhai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good boy, you actually met He Lizhu?"
Everyone became excited, obviously they had heard of He Lizhu's name for a long time.
As disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, they also have their eyes on the top and rarely pay attention to the disciples of various sects. They are not on the same level, but He Lizhu is different. He is known as the best swordsman of the Baiyun Sect. She is also a woman. It is said that she is a stunning beauty.
Their imagination is endless.
Gu Cheng said: "Now Miss He has been admitted to the Kuangfengxia sect, and she is the same sect as Junior Brother Li."
Mo Tianhai laughed: "Haha, since it was Miss He who said it, then Junior Brother Li's sword skills are really amazing!"
He Lizhu is known as the best swordsman of the Baiyun Sect. Although the swordsmanship of the Baiyun Sect is inferior to that of the Yunxiao Sect, it is still unique. There are only two sword sects in the world, the Yunxiao Sect and the Baiyun Sect.
Li Muchan shook his head. It seems that a person's reputation is the shadow of a tree. Sometimes reputation is more important.
Gu Hengdi frowned: "Tianhai, how good Wuji's swordsmanship is, you will know after you try it."
Mo Tianhai hurriedly said: "Yes, Master, let me try my junior brother's sword skills!"
After he finished speaking, the sword light flashed, and the sword light filled the sky, like a roaring wave crashing down. The momentum was so frightening that everyone shook their heads secretly. This Senior Brother Mo is deliberately trying to make Junior Brother Li look bad.
Li Muchan drew his sword with a smile, and the sword light created a streak that circled around him. "Ding, ding, ding, ding..." Amidst a series of clear sounds, the two men's swords kept clashing.
Mo Tianhai said "Eh". He was using a sword, and Junior Brother Li's sword was intact when it crossed with it. It was obviously also a sword.
There are countless swords in the world. Because the masters who forge swords strive for excellence, sometimes it takes only a year to forge a sword. Some even take several years. There are not many masters, and they can only be counted on the fingers of one hand in the world, so the number of swords is also limited.
It is limited and often in the hands of a few people.
Moreover, most of the people who use swords in the world are disciples of Baiyun Sect and Yunxiao Sect. The rest of the people who use swords are just for show and can't be counted.
*****************
Everyone looked at it in amazement and their eyes widened. The scene in front of them was indeed beyond their expectations. They did not expect that Li Muchan's swordsmanship was so amazing.
In Mo Tianhai's stormy attack, Li Muchan's sword light was gentle, not impatient, and he defended with ease, preventing the sword light from getting close.
His swordsmanship looked mediocre and his speed was not fast, but he blocked Mo Tianhai's sword light just right, with astonishing accuracy.
Leaving aside the moves, Mo Tianhai's sword contained strange power. The average disciple would not be able to bear it after just a few blows, and the long sword would fall out of his hands. However, Li Wuji remained indifferent, which was surprising enough.
With both superb moves and profound internal strength, he was able to remain undefeated under Mo Tianhai's violent attack. He was stronger than the average disciple. Although Mo Tianhai was not the most powerful, he was still an above-average master.
This competition undoubtedly showed that Li Muchan would definitely enter the inner sect and become a disciple of the inner sect in the future. Their vision suddenly changed.
Gu Hengdi was also quite surprised. He didn't expect Li Muchan to have such a swordsmanship. He seemed to be able to do it with ease. He obviously took Mo Tianhai's face into consideration and didn't use all his strength.
"Okay, let's stop here." Gu Hengdi said calmly.
Li Muchan floated back, and Mo Tianhai stopped helplessly, sighing: "Junior Brother Li is such a good man, he's hidden deep enough. I didn't expect him to have such good swordsmanship."
Li Muchan smiled and held his head: "I agree."
Mo Tianhai shook his head: "Alas... It's such a shame. I have learned swordsmanship for so many years in vain!"
"Okay, Wuji come with me." Gu Hengdi said calmly.
She turned and walked out, and everyone got out of the way. They looked at Li Muchan with admiration in their eyes. It seemed that there had never been such a disciple of the outer sect who was so powerful and would definitely become a disciple of the inner sect.
Now he just has to return the Jade Sutra. As long as he can practice the Jade Sutra, he can enter the inner sect, become Yunxiao's official disciple, and teach the core secrets.

The two of them returned to the back garden and sat down in a small pavilion on a rockery. Sitting in the small pavilion, looking down from above, the whole house could be seen at a glance.
"Wuji, who did you learn your swordsmanship from?" Gu Hengdi asked.
Li Muchan repeated what he said before. Gu Hengdi nodded quietly. A gust of wind blew. She brushed her hair on her temples and said with a smile: "It seems he is a senior expert."
After a while, she said again: "Your sword skills have already been mastered. You are indeed very talented. You are a good material for learning swordsmanship. Practice the Jade Sutra well. After you complete the Jade Sutra, I will teach you the Sword Control Sutra."
"Sword Control Sutra?" Li Muchan pondered. He had never heard of this sutra, so he thought it had something to do with swordsmanship.
Gu Hengdi said: "The Sword Controlling Sutra is a technique that combines the human and the sword. It gives the sword a soul, makes it move freely, and the intention reaches the sword. The prerequisite is to practice the Jade Returning Sutra to perfection."
Li Muchan said: "Yes."
Gu Hengdi sighed and said: "Looking at the entire Yunxiao Sect, Mingxue is the only one who can practice the Sword Control Technique."
Li Muchan was surprised: "Only Senior Sister Feng?"
"Well, if you can't practice the Jade Sutra, you can't practice the Sword Control Sutra." Gu Hengdi nodded.
Li Muchan frowned and pondered, "Returning the Jade Scripture is indeed difficult to practice, but those who have passed through many levels should be those with profound concentration. It stands to reason that they can master it, right?"
Gu Hengdi shook his head and sighed: "Returning the Jade Scripture is our introductory mental method, but it is also the most profound mental method. From low to high, there are levels one by one. Although the first level is difficult, it is far different from the following levels.
"
Li Muchan said: "Senior, I have been practicing meditation since I was a child, so it is easy to get started, but I may not be able to persist in the future."
"Yeah..." Gu Hengdi raised his head and sighed, looking at the sky with bright eyes, and sighed leisurely: "In front of the Jade Sutra, the insignificance of human beings is clearly visible. The obstacles that cannot be overcome are just insurmountable. No matter how hard you try, it is useless."
Li Muchan said: "Senior, you haven't mastered the Jade Returning Sutra either?"
"Yeah." Gu Hengdi nodded and sighed: "I can only practice to the seventh level."
There are a total of twelve pictures in Li Muchan's mind, which should be the twelfth level. Only reaching the seventh level is indeed far behind, and it cannot be said to be an achievement.
Gu Hengdi said: "I have practiced to the seventh level. I am already considered the best. The strongest is only to the eighth level. Mingxue Tianzong has the talent. He rushed to the twelfth level in one breath and can practice the Sword Control Sutra."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "Senior has practiced to the seventh level. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the fifth level."
Gu Hengdi shook his head; "I still have some good eyesight. You were able to reach the first level in the first time. Your progress is as fast as Ming Xue's. You are expected to complete it."
Li Muchan said: "Senior has promoted me, how can I be compared with Senior Sister Feng?"
"How can a man be defeated by a little girl?" Gu Hengdi smiled faintly.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "I can only do my best."
"Well, you can just live here." Gu Hengdi nodded.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, and Gu Hengdi said: "This hot spring is a spiritual spring, which is very helpful for practicing the Jade Sutra. Speed up the entry."
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "Thank you, senior!"
Gu Hengdi shook his head and said: "You don't have to be polite, but you can't be too hasty in practicing the Jade Sutra. Returning the Jade Sutra consumes the most energy. Once you lose your energy and practice forcefully, it's easy to go crazy!"
Li Muchan nodded solemnly, he already understood this.
Gu Hengdi said: "I will be on the side to protect the Dharma. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask."
"Yes." Li Muchan did not say thanks this time.
*********************************
In the following days, Li Muchan lived in the back garden, soaking in the hot springs all day long, practicing the Jade Sutra. When he was tired, he silently chanted sutras to cultivate his spirit. Reciting the Heart Sutra of Infinite Light was more effective than sleeping, although it did not
Observing the heavens, human beings, gods, and meridians will have magical effects, but the best thing is that you don’t have to enter concentration.
The wonder of the Heaven-Observing Human-Shen Zhao Sutra is that it recovers quickly and continuously strengthens the spirit. The advantage of the Infinite Light Heart Sutra is that it does not require entering samadhi. The effect of strengthening the spirit is not as strong as that of the Heaven-Observing Human-Shen Zhao Sutra, but it can purify the spirit, which is more superior.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Li Muchan practiced the Jade Sutra every day and did nothing else. He was in seclusion. Gu Hengdi also accompanied him, sitting by the hot spring and watching him practice.
The illusion becomes more severe as you go to the back of the Jade Sutra. As the inner strength deepens, it becomes more and more dangerous. Once it goes astray, under the impact of the deep inner strength, it will not be easy to correct the chaos.
At this time, if there is no one to accompany you and you are practicing alone, you will not know it even if you die. Dharma protection is the key, and you need an experienced person who can detect signs and remind him in time.
But as time passed, Gu Hengdi became more and more surprised. Li Muchan's practice of returning the Jade Sutra went smoothly, and there was no sign of going crazy.
She knew that when practicing the Jade Sutra, illusions abound and demons dance around, making it difficult to truly control them. They are all aimed at the weaknesses of the human heart. If you want money, it will come true in the illusion, and you will have a room full of gold, or
A mountain of gold makes you lose your mind. If you can control it, the illusion will turn you into a pauper who can only survive by begging.
One yin and one yang, one rising and one suppressing, under such repeated torture, it is difficult to truly control it.
If you have someone you like, you will see the person you like being insulted by several people. In this situation, no matter how rational you are, it will be difficult to stay awake, and the anger will rise to the sky and burn everything about you.
The Tao is as high as the devil. Almost no one can escape from the illusion caused by inner demons, except those eminent monks with Tao who see through everything and let go of everything. Everything is an illusion and nothing can be left behind.
Truly achieve liberation and letting go, and achieve the Buddha's heart.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to stay awake and let go under such an illusion. Why do you need to practice martial arts? Why do you need to practice returning the Jade Sutra? If you are practicing returning the Jade Sutra, it means that you are attached to it and have not let it go. If you cannot let it go, you have to do it.
Being affected by illusion is a dead end.
Therefore, if you fail to practice the Jade Sutra, you should do it. If you can practice it, you will no longer be a human being. Feng Mingxue's status is so high precisely because she has mastered the Jade Sutra and has broken away from the category of mortals.
Gu Hengdi did not expect Li Muchan to be able to master it, but it was too easy for him to get started and he could master it as soon as he practiced it, as if he had practiced it before. Just like Feng Mingxue before, this situation gave her a glimmer of hope.
If there is another person who has mastered the Jade Sutra, the Yunxiao Sect will become even more tyrannical and not afraid of any strong opponent.
As time went by, her expectations for Li Muchan became higher and higher. Li Muchan mastered the first five levels in one month, and the speed was really amazing.
This is because Li Muchan slowed down and deliberately laid a solid foundation. Otherwise, if he practiced in one breath, he didn't know how many levels he could reach.
The reason why Huanyu Jing is difficult to practice is that there are many illusions. As soon as the internal energy passes through a certain acupuncture point, illusions suddenly appear. These illusions are no different from reality. You don’t know that they are illusions when you are in them. Just like living in the world, you don’t know that they are illusions.
Know that everything is an illusion.
The world in the illusion is a real world, so it is difficult to escape from it. He knows the great mystery of life and death, and has seen through life and death, so he can see through everything. In addition, he has practiced meditation since he was a child, and has also practiced the indestructible power of the Vajra.
The heart has been trained to be as hard as a diamond, so it can enter and jump out easily, not be disturbed by illusions, and can easily promote the flow of internal energy.
Twelve pictures, the further you go to the back, the more acupuncture points are involved. Each acupuncture point is an illusion, and it is a world. It takes time to transcend this world. The further you go to the later stage, the harder it is to transcend the world of illusion.
Even if one could transcend, it would take a long time, so progress would be slow or even stagnant.
The reason why Returning the Jade Scripture is difficult and therefore the progress is slow is to break through these worlds, and the reason why Yunxiao Sect recruits disciples is to set up layers of difficulties just to see if their determination is firm.
If you cannot pass these tests, it will be useless to enter the Yunxiao Sect, and you will not be able to practice the Jade Sutra. Therefore, the Yunxiao Sect does not want to be strict, but is forced by the Jade Sutra.
Li Muchan practiced for three months at a stretch, and completed the Jade Returning Sutra, which stirred up the entire Hengbo Island, and then spread the word throughout the Eighteen Islands. Almost all Yunxiao Sect disciples knew that the outer sect had produced a genius, a genius who could rival Feng Mingxue.
Early that morning, Li Muchan came out of the hot spring, and Gu Hengdi taught him the Sword Control Sutra.
