Chapter 4 Xu Yan's Self-imagination

Before daybreak, Xu Yan had already taken up horse stance and was practicing.

"Master said that we should focus on understanding and intention rather than form, sense the qi and blood, mobilize the qi and blood, and temper the membrane..."

"The ancient prodigy completed the skin refining in five days. I still haven't sensed the blood and qi. The gap is too big. Master said that I can't be impatient. The more impatient I am, the harder it is to sense the blood and qi..."

Xu Yan calmed his mind and concentrated on himself, carefully sensing himself and his qi and blood.

A touch of white in the sky.

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

“Qi and blood!”

"I can sense the blood!"

At this moment, Xu Yan was extremely excited.

"Calm down, calm down, stay calm, don't lose your mind..."

"Mobilize the Qi and blood to temper the membrane... How to mobilize the Qi and blood? Master didn't tell me specifically, should I go ask Master?"

"No! Master said that it's all about understanding and intention. I must grasp the feeling at this moment. If I relax, it will be difficult to sense the blood and qi again...

"Besides, if I have to ask Master in detail about how to mobilize Qi and blood, wouldn't Master be disappointed? He would think that I don't have a good understanding."

Thinking of this, Xu Yan immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking Li Xuan for advice.

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

His mind was completely focused on himself, immersed in mobilizing his qi and blood. His breathing changed unconsciously as his qi and blood were mobilized. Gradually, a wisp of qi and blood diffused throughout his body, and his skin turned slightly red, as if a warm current was tempering his membrane.

"Is this considered as entering the stage of skin refining?"

Xu Yan was very excited. He finally sensed the Qi and blood, and successfully mobilized the Qi and blood to temper his skin membrane.

…

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

He was the only one left in the village, and being self-sufficient had become a habit for him.

As soon as he went out, he saw Xu Yan practicing horse stance. The corner of his mouth twitched. This disciple was indeed hardworking, but it was a pity that no matter how hard he worked, it was of no use.

The method of cultivation was made up by him, so there is no way he could succeed in cultivation.

"When he can't hold on any longer and comes to ask me, I'll just make up something to fool him."

Li Xuan shook his head and turned away.

When Xu Yan saw his master, he was excited and was about to tell his master that he could sense the qi and blood.

Has entered the skin refining stage!

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

"Master, are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Yes, with Master's level, how could he not see that I have already sensed the blood and entered the skin refining stage?"

"Master must think that I am impetuous, proud and complacent, and impatient..."

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

Take a deep breath, calm your mind, and continue to mobilize your Qi and blood to temper your membrane.

"Master is unfathomable. He can tell my true strengths and weaknesses at a glance. I cannot be arrogant or complacent...Master can tell my progress in cultivation at a glance. Why should I speak?"

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

Li Xuan caught a chicken in the chicken coop and prepared to continue stewing Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi, which is a rare precious medicine in the world. After eating the chicken soup stewed with Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi yesterday, he felt a little stronger.

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

Suddenly he paused: "No, that's not right. I have an apprentice. There is no reason for me, as a master, to serve the apprentice. The apprentice should serve the master!"

"Anyway, he's been cheated once. He's my apprentice now. It's reasonable to ask him to serve me, his master, right?"

Thinking of this, he walked towards Xu Yan, holding the chicken in one hand and the knife in the other.

"Disciple, come, kill the chicken and stew it with some Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi. Go and cook."

Xu Yan finished his training and took the chicken and knife from Li Xuan, feeling a little confused.

"Why, you can't cook?"

Li Xuan looked at him in a daze and frowned.

"Yes, Xu Yan is a rich kid, how could he cook?"

Even so, since he has been accepted as a disciple, how can he not make good use of it? "Disciple, walking, sitting, sleeping and eating are all cultivation. Although you have not yet entered the door, and the realm of being a master is too far away, it will be good for you to familiarize yourself with it in advance."

Li Xuan said with a serious look.

"Master, I'll go right away!"

Xu Yan's expression straightened and he said respectfully.

"Master's realm is too high. It may seem like mundane things, but in fact, this is what a master should do. This is the state of seclusion from the world!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The more I think about it, the more I feel that my master is unfathomable. He seems ordinary and does not show any power of a strong man, but he is a real hidden master! Xu Yan went to cook.

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

So he moved a chair with confidence and placed it under the big tree in front of the house. Li Xuan lay on the chair, leisurely, waiting for dinner.

"It's really nice to have an apprentice to serve me."

"With Xu Yan's quick thinking, he won't be able to figure it out in a short period of time, but we must also prepare a way out..."

After dinner.

Xu Yan continued to practice.

"This... the speed of tempering the membrane has increased, and the blood and qi have increased by at least 50%..."

"At this rate, although we can't finish the skin refining in five days, it should be no problem to finish it within a month."

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

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

He thought of stewing chicken soup with nine-leaf Yuanzhi! Nine-leaf Yuanzhi is a rare treasure, and his Xu family only has this one treasure. If he was not the only child of the Xu family and was deeply loved by his parents, he would not be able to get the nine-leaf Yuanzhi as a gift for apprenticeship.

“Master!”

Xu Yan was deeply moved at this moment.

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

"I will never let Master down. I must practice diligently and strive to enter the door as soon as possible!"

Xu Yan, who was imagining things himself, felt so reverent towards his master at this moment that it was as great as the sun and the moon, and he was deeply moved.

He mobilized his qi and blood, constantly tempering his membrane.

With continuous tempering, Xu Yan felt that his body was getting stronger, his blood and energy were becoming more vigorous, and his skin membrane became tougher. It seemed that he had already started to learn skin refining.

"I feel like my strength has more than doubled. I've only just started to refine my skin. How strong will it be when I reach the full level of refinement?"

"I must learn martial arts within a year!"

Xu Yan's eyes were firm.

"The effect of this Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi is so good. Why do I feel like my power has increased?"

"Do you want to enjoy it all by yourself? Forget it, it was originally given by Xu Yan, let's stew it and eat it together. Don't be so black-hearted!"

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

After all, I wasn't ruthless enough and gave up the idea of ​​monopolizing it.
