"I just practiced the first two pages of the technique once, and I used up all my spiritual power."
"Why is the cultivation method from the Middle Ages like this?"
After reading so many martial arts secret manuals, this was the first time Qin Xuan had seen a martial arts method that would consume one's own spiritual power and vital energy after practicing it.
But after practicing, he did feel that his strength had improved significantly.
So without hesitation, he immediately found the Huiyuan Pills and Wanling Pills that could restore his energy from among the many pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
After his energy was restored, he turned to the third page of The Knight-errant.
However, this time, the contents recorded in the book made Qin Xuan stunned.
Because this is not the same internal energy technique as before, but a kind of light energy technique.
Different from the ordinary lightness skills taught by his second master, the lightness skills here are so light and ethereal that they are really like a white horse galloping among the clouds!
His spirit moved along with the diagram, and his feet unconsciously took a very strange step.
After practicing for a long time, Qin Xuan finally fully understood the profound meaning of it.
With subsequent practice, Qin Xuan discovered that the entire poem "Xia Ke Xing" contained more than just martial arts and light skills.
Among them, the "Kill one person in ten steps" that he is most familiar with is the sword technique, and "Leave no trace for a thousand miles", "Brush off the clothes when the task is done", and "Hide your body and name" are light skills.
Others include boxing, palm techniques and so on.
The poem comes to an abrupt end only with the 24th line "白首太玄经" (White Head Taixuan Sutra), without any annotations or illustrations.
Xiake Xing: You are really fast at training...
The shocked voice coming from Xiake Xing made Qin Xuan slightly stunned.
Before he could ask a question, the other party spoke again.
Xiake Xing: But since you have cultivated to such an extent, it is time for me to retire now.
The Knight-errant: Burn me, so that you can obtain the true essence of the whole book, the Taixuan Sutra. But after you have mastered it, I hope you can help my master's descendants and pass on the skills in The Knight-errant in a simpler way.
"Don't worry, I will."
After hearing Xiake Xing's thoughts, Qin Xuan finally figured out why the Shi family was so anxious to find a successor to their martial arts.
The martial arts in The Knight-errant did not originally rely entirely on the vitality of heaven and earth, but what was recorded in it was too obscure and difficult to understand.
It’s just like myself. If I didn’t have the help of the inner voice of The Knight-errant, I would not be able to understand anything even if I stared at the martial arts for another hundred years.
Not to mention the Shi family members who can only see words and images.
But if someone can practice all the difficult-to-understand contents in the secret book, they can teach it to the Shi family again in a more understandable way.
In this way, the Shi family can regain the inheritance of martial arts skills, which is beneficial to them.
After thinking the reason clearly, Qin Xuan once again solemnly made a promise to Xiake Xing.
After the other party responded positively, Qin Xuan also activated his magic and dropped a flame on the technique.
boom!
As the flames fell, the martial arts secret book, which was originally intact, immediately caught fire.
In a moment, it turned into ashes!
Just when Qin Xuan was wondering that even ordinary paper should not burn so quickly, countless spots of light suddenly rose from the extinguished fire.
One o'clock, two o'clock.
More and more light spots drilled into Qin Xuan's acupuncture points like tadpoles.
As the light spots became more and more numerous, both the essence and spiritual energy in his body began to flow along these strange lines.
From the middle of the spine to the pivot, and from the pivot to the life gate.
The two energies flow down from the Du channel and slowly become entangled with each other.
It finally converges in Dantian and is then fused by the chaotic energy.
From this moment on, the essence and spiritual energy in Qin Xuan's body were completely united and could no longer be distinguished from each other.
And when all the light spots entered Qin Xuan's body, Qin Xuan felt an extremely explosive force rushing out of his body.
"No, I need to vent!"
Unconsciously, Qin Xuan immediately began to practice according to the order of the first sentence of "Xia Ke Xing".
Then came the sword techniques, boxing techniques and even palm techniques.
Only after he had practiced all twenty-three sentences did the power in his body begin to weaken slightly.
It was at this moment.
All the cultivation knowledge that Qin Xuan had previously learned from his other three masters, seen in the secret books in the national treasury, including body refining techniques, Zhenwu Daojing, etc., instantly merged into one, turning into a new method.
The practice method of this technique is both internal and external, and the energy cultivated is not simply spiritual power or essence, but a new form.
After an unknown amount of time, the storm gradually subsided.
If Ke Wudi was still at the scene at this time, he would definitely exclaim in surprise at Qin Xuan's condition.
Because at this time, he had already calmed down all his breath.
From the outside, he looks like an ordinary passerby.
Even though his appearance was still as flawless as that of a banished immortal, no one would care as long as he didn't deliberately interact with others.
This is what Ke Wudi meant by returning to basics.
Everything returns to nature.
"This really is a huge favor that I owe to the Shi family..."
Feeling the state of his body, Qin Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Although his cultivation level has decreased instead of increased, both the level of his skills and the quality of the energy in his body have made a qualitative leap compared to before.
Even though he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining now, if he faced his previous seventh level self, he could easily kill him instantly and defeat him completely.
This is enough to show how much benefit Qin Xuan has gained from practicing this knight's art.
Such a big noise naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding guards.
As the guards reported the information here, Ke Wudi, Hu Sanqiang and others also hurried over, fearing that something might have happened to Qin Xuan.
When the three of them arrived outside the warehouse and saw the current state of the warehouse, they couldn't help but gasp.
After meeting his three masters, Qin Xuan couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
After his previous troubles, the entire treasury was now full of holes and cracks.
The walls are drafty and the roof is leaking.
Fortunately, most of the things were not damaged, only the buildings were in ruins.
All I have to do is pay for and renovate it again after I get out.
With a wry smile, Qin Xuan walked back into the warehouse to get some resources.
This place is in such a dilapidated state now that it obviously cannot be used any more.
To retreat and upgrade, one needs to change to another place, and get some elixirs and herbs that are useful for cultivation.
But who knew that as soon as Qin Xuan walked into the warehouse, the alloy door of the warehouse collapsed with a loud bang.
Qin Xuan was slightly stunned when he saw this. The wind caused by the door falling to the ground turned all the surrounding resources into ashes.
Yes.
When Qin Xuan closed his eyes and practiced, integrating what he had learned, the energy he released unconsciously destroyed all the resources in the warehouse.
However, his abilities had already reached perfection at that time, so although these resources were destroyed, they did not shatter immediately.
Until the door collapsed and air poured in.
The resources that had already been reduced to dust could no longer maintain their original appearance.
In this way, it was instantly shattered and turned into ashes.
