Made-Up Martial Arts, Have You Really Mastered Them, Disciple? Chapter 5: Leather refining is complete
It has been more than half a month since I accepted Xu Yan as my disciple and taught him the techniques he made up.
The past half month has been the most comfortable life that Li Xuan has had since he time traveled. He is served by his apprentice every day, and he doesn't have to cook, feed chickens, grow vegetables, etc. by himself.
Every day I would either sleep, wander around the village, or lie on a chair, leisurely.
Only the last piece of Nine-leaf Yuanzhi is left. I finished it after stewing it today.
Li Xuan lamented that Jiuye Yuanzhi was indeed a rare treasure, and the effect was really great. For more than half a month, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
My spirit has improved, my eyesight has improved, my body has become much stronger, and my strength has also increased.
"Stew thousand-year-old wild ginseng tomorrow? Will it be too nourishing?"
Li Xuan lay on the chair, muttering in his heart.
"Thousand-year-old mountain ginseng is different, why not treasure it?"
Looking sideways, Xu Yan, who was practicing Zamabu, felt a little confused.
"It's been more than half a month, how can he remain calm? His calm and calm temperament is quite good, but it's a pity that his brain is not very good."
"That's fine. The calmer his temperament, the better it is for me... But it's been more than half a month and he hasn't achieved anything through cultivation, so he doesn't have any doubts?"
Li Xuan was surprised.
"While you are eating, ask him if he has any questions and fulfill your responsibility as a master."
"Let me think about how to make this up to fool him."
Li Xuan was thinking about how to make it more reasonable, how to comfort Xu Yan, how to encourage him to continue to persevere...
……
"I finally succeeded in refining skin!"
While practicing, Xu Yan felt a surge of energy and blood all over his body, and his membranes tightened and then relaxed. At this moment, he felt a big improvement.
The skin refining is complete!
"Master is right, you can't be impatient in cultivation, you must balance work and rest."
“I take time every day to cook, feed chickens, grow vegetables, and even catch game for meals. It seems that my training time is reduced. However, when I relax, my mood is completely different, and my training speed is actually faster. It’s easier too!”
"Master's level is really too high!"
Xu Yan was amazed in his heart.
Master is indeed a hidden master. Every word, every deed, every little bit of advice has benefited him a lot.
Glancing at Li Xuan who was lying on the chair, Xu Yan showed envy and yearning in his eyes.
"When will I reach the master's level? It may seem ordinary, it may seem ordinary, but this is the real master.
"Perhaps this is what Master once said, returning to nature and approaching the Tao?"
"I can't aim too high. I have to be down-to-earth. One day, I will become a strong man like Master!"
Xu Yan was thinking and encouraging himself.
"In less than twenty days, I have completed skin refining, and I am only one step away from perfection. In three to five days at most, I can complete skin refining and start bone refining."
"After I finish refining the skin, I will ask Master again what the details are about refining the bones."
"Master said that the ancient genius could complete the skin refining in five days. Although I can't compare with him, but he completed the skin refining in less than a month, so it should be pretty good, right?"
Xu Yan looked at the time and it was time to cook.
So I stopped my work and went to the chicken coop to catch a chicken, kill it and stew the nine-leaf Yuanzhi.
One piece of Nine-leaf Yuanzhi is taken every day, and now only the last piece is left.
While killing the chicken, Xu Yan suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Master said that with the success of leather refining, ordinary people can't be hurt by swords. Why don't you give it a try? I'll give it a light scratch and see."
Xu Yan held the kitchen knife and scratched his arm.
He is a warrior who has mastered skin refining, so he naturally does not belong to ordinary people, so he did not use any energy or blood and did not use much force in this stroke.
That is, the power of ordinary people.
The blade swiped across the arm, leaving only a slight white mark, and it quickly recovered as before!
"Is this the defensive power of Leather Refining?"
Xu Yan was very excited. Although he didn't use much force with the knife, he could easily disembowel the chicken. If an ordinary person was scratched, the flesh and blood would split and the wound would penetrate to the bone.
However, it was unable to leave any scars on his skin.
"If it is as the master said, after the skin is refined, it will be difficult to be hurt by ordinary swords!"
Xu Yan is full of expectations for the next bone refining and even internal organ refining.
……
"I am very pleased that you have been able to remain calm and calm these days, without being arrogant or impetuous."
During the dinner, Li Xuan spoke after careful consideration.
"Master, I understand. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and stay calm!"
Xu Yan said respectfully.
I was glad that I was not impatient and could keep my composure, which left a good impression on Master.
"After practicing for such a long time, Xu Yan seems calm and calm, but he must be anxious inside. Please comfort him and let him persist. Now that the matter has come to this, we can only continue to fool around."
Li Xuan muttered in his heart, so he said: "The key to practicing cultivation is persistence, firm will, calmness and solidity. It is not advisable to rush for quick success, you must remember."
"Yes, Master, my disciple must remember your teachings!"
Xu Yan nodded solemnly.
But it suddenly dawned on me: "I have mastered skin refining. Master must be afraid that I will be eager for quick success and start refining bones in a hurry without a solid foundation."
"Even if I have perfected the skin refining, I must be more solid before refining the bones. I must not be impatient and leave the master with a frizzy impression."
Xu Yan warned himself in his heart not to forget about himself and become proud and complacent just because his strength has improved!
Li Xuan didn't know that Xu Yan had already made up his mind about what he said, and he didn't even know that Xu Yan had not only sensed the energy and blood, but had also completed the skin refining process.
Seeing Xu Yan listen to the instructions so well, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This apprentice is a real person, but he is not smart enough, so he met me. If he met anyone else, I am afraid that he would be deceived and his family would be ruined!"
"It's a pity that I am not a hidden expert. Otherwise, it would be a gratifying thing to accept a disciple who respects his teacher so much and is so sensible."
Li Xuan sighed in his heart.
Then he spoke again: "I know that you must have accumulated some questions about your cultivation, and I can answer them for you now."
Xu Yan perked up and showed excitement.
"Master knows that I am about to refining bones, and I must have some questions about refining bones. Master first warned me not to be impatient, but to calm down, and then answered my questions. This would not only appease my impatient heart, but also make me feel relaxed. I know about bone refining."
The more I think about it, the more I feel that every word of Master is full of profound meaning and is teaching me.
"Master, my disciple has no doubt about the method of skin refining. I would like to ask about bone refining. Qi and blood seep into the bones, and the bones are constantly tempered and tempered. Is there anything particular about it?"
“To what extent is bone refining considered complete?”
……
Xu Yan asked a question about bone refining, but Li Xuan was stunned. The words he had planned in advance were all lies about the Qi and blood induction and skin refining stages.
I never expected Xu Yan to ask about the method of bone refining. He didn't make up a lie about bone refining in advance!
