Invincible!

Chapter 1 Li Xian
The Great Zhou Dynasty, Lijiang City, and the Marquis of Dingfeng's Mansion.

"Martial arts cultivation consists of nine levels: Ming Jin (明劲), Duan Gu (锻骨), Yi Jin (易筋), Fei Fu (肺腑), Huan Xue (换血), Wu Lou (无漏), Zhen Qi (真气), Tong Mai (通脉), and Xian Tian (先天)!"

Zhang Yao, dressed as a swordswoman, was explaining martial arts to Li Xian in the courtyard.

"Martial arts begin with Ming Jin (manifested strength). Only when one has mastered this strength can one strengthen one's muscles and bones externally, train one's internal organs internally, and then cleanse one's marrow and blood, thus achieving a state of complete physical perfection."

As she spoke, she suddenly threw a punch.

"Oh!"

Her slender hands could break the air and produce a crisp sound.

This is Ming Jin!?
"Women are generally weaker, but I can use my explosive strength to make it difficult for three or five adult men to get close. This is because I have developed my strength and can use it to injure people."

Zhang Yao said.

Li Xian nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement.

but……

"I already know how to control strength, strengthen muscles and bones externally, and train the internal organs internally. I am more interested in blood purification and marrow cleansing, and achieving complete elimination of all leakage in the body. Most importantly, how can one refine emptiness into reality and cultivate true qi with a body that has achieved complete elimination of leakage?"

Li asked first.

“Young master, when practicing martial arts, you must not be overly ambitious. Being flawless in every aspect is already a first-rate martial artist, and you will be famous throughout the province. As for cultivating true qi? Such a person can already leap over the dragon gate and ascend to heaven in one step.”

Zhang Yao patiently advised, "My son-in-law didn't start his martial arts training from a young age. He started practicing after his body had grown up, so it's inevitable that he'll progress a bit slower. But with his ingenuity and intelligence as one of the four great talents of Lijiang, he should have a good chance of becoming a top-tier martial artist if he practices boxing for a year to develop his internal strength, strengthens his muscles and bones for three years, and trains his internal organs for ten years. If he can persevere, he might be able to transform his blood and marrow and become famous throughout the region in twenty or thirty years."

"So, how do we transform our blood and marrow to achieve a state of perfect health?"

Li Xian has a clear mind.

Zhang Yao seemed helpless about this question: "Blood transfusion and marrow cleansing can make a name for oneself in the martial arts world, dominate a region, join the army and fight against a hundred men. In the Marquis's mansion, only the master has such abilities. I am just a maid of the young lady. I am able to learn martial arts and cultivate strength thanks to the young lady's kindness. I know very little about blood transfusion and marrow cleansing and the complete elimination of all flaws in the body, as if it were a legend."

Mr. Li felt somewhat regretful.

Although Zhang Yao was regarded as a sister by Liu Yanran, the young lady of the Marquis's mansion, she was ultimately just a maid.

Being able to articulate the nine realms of martial arts already demonstrates considerable knowledge; one shouldn't expect too much more.

"The Marquis of Dingfeng underwent a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing?"

He pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask him for advice?"

"This……"

Zhang Yao knew that her son-in-law's somewhat "pitiful" status meant he had no right to ask for advice, but she couldn't say it directly. She could only say, "The Marquis has gone to the capital and probably won't be back for a month or two."

"One or two months..."

Li shook his head.

He couldn't wait another month or two.

Zhang Yao, who was standing to the side, noticed his disappointment and couldn't bear to spoil his mood: "If you really want to learn martial arts to please Miss, you might as well go and have a look at the newly opened Longquan Martial Arts School in Youlongfang in the city. Master Zhou Juechen has undergone a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, and his strength is among the best in the Lijiang River. If you go to visit him, Master Zhou will definitely teach you everything he knows."

"Longquan Martial Arts School?"

Li Xian nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he stood up.

"Ugh?"

Seeing Li Xian's seemingly impulsive departure, Zhang Yao was taken aback: "Wait a minute, young master, Miss hasn't returned yet. Are you going out? Aren't you going to tell her?"

"Say something?"

Li shook his head.

Then he asked, "Where is she?"

During his six days of recuperation, the young lady Zhang Yao stayed by his bedside without leaving for a moment. He practiced martial arts for nearly a month, but the young lady from the Marquis's mansion, Liu Yanran, never showed up.

"This……"

Zhang Yao was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, he replied, "Miss is still at Songfeng Academy."

When will you be back?

"It's still unclear..."

"That's it."

Li Xian then ignored it.

If you're unhappy, then you're unhappy.

unimportant.

"Uncle..."

Zhang Yao called out again, hesitatingly, "Without Miss's or Madam's permission, you may not be able to leave the manor."

"Man is born free. As long as my heart is unfettered, no one can restrain me."

Li Xian looked at the young girl and said, "Please take care of me this month."

"Son-in-law, you're too kind. I just..."

“I know you are doing your duty.”

Li Xian smiled, turned around and went back into the house.

When Zhang Yao saw this, she wanted to ask him to ask Miss for permission before going out, but considering that Miss had been in a hurry for the past month and had never visited her husband, she didn't know where to begin.

……

inside the house.

Li Xian was very interested in "blood transfusion and marrow cleansing" and "abundance of bodily fluids".

The subsequent "Refining Emptiness into Truth", "Unblocking All Meridians", and "Reversing the Innate" were filled with anticipation.

In his previous life, he was frail from childhood and abandoned by his parents. Fortunately, he was adopted by a Taoist priest who taught him the methods of nourishing his body, allowing him to grow into adulthood.

After witnessing the Taoist priest pass away peacefully and the mortals experience old age, sickness, and death, he was moved by the fragility of the human body and continued to cultivate diligently. Relying on his martial arts talent of "one proof is eternal and never regresses," he practiced hard for three years and finally achieved the Qi-forming elixir, reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

In his quest to break limits, he tested his fists across the land, challenging countless powerful opponents and emerging victorious, but in doing so, he indirectly harmed the interests of many.

Even a master of the Elixir of Immortality is but a mortal being, and ultimately his life was easily taken by a single bullet.

When he woke up again, he had become Li Xian, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Dingfeng.

In his world, true qi and innate qualities are merely fictional creations.

This way...

He had encountered such extraordinary power in just one month, which immediately captivated him.

"True Qi and Innate Qi."

Li Xian pondered: "Unfortunately, the memories Li Xian left me are incomplete. As a bookworm, he believed that all other pursuits were inferior, and studying was the highest. He regarded martial artists as vulgar people. Therefore, the mysteries of martial arts in this world will ultimately have to be explored by me on my own."

A moment later, he found the replacement identity certificate.

Other things... need not be brought.

For Liu Yanran, Li Xian did not hesitate to sever ties with his teachers, family, and friends, abandoning everything to go to the Marquis's mansion.

However, for various reasons, the Marquis's mansion did not allow him to register his household registration.

Therefore, he is still a free man.

Moreover, even if he were to be stripped of his official status and marry into the family...

Given the contempt shown by the people of the Hou Mansion towards "Li Xian," he, who has no masochistic tendencies, would inevitably leave.

The purpose of practicing martial arts for a month is to be able to walk smoothly.

After carefully putting away the replacement document, Li Xian walked out of the inner courtyard alone.

The Marquis of Dingfeng's residence is quite large, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres in the city of Lijiang, where land is extremely valuable.

Not only did it house three wives and two young ladies, but it also housed nearly a hundred people, including guards, grooms, cooks, and maids.

When Li was about to exit through the main gate, he encountered two guards.

The guards of the Marquis's mansion are all highly skilled in bone forging; if placed in the army, they would be considered elite.

Upon seeing him, the two guards didn't even greet him, and their gazes towards him were rather flippant.

When they realized he was about to leave the courtyard, one of them quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Hey, wait, Li Xian, are you going out? Do you have permission from Miss or Madam?"

"I can't go out?"

"Now that you have entered our Dingfeng Marquis's residence, your every move will affect the reputation of our Dingfeng Marquis's residence. Without reason and permission, you are not allowed to go out at will."

Another person also stepped forward to block their way.

His gaze lingered on Li Xian for a moment.

That look...

So reckless, aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?
Fortunately, he preferred to reason with people and wasn't the type to kill someone just because they glared at him. So he began to explain: "In terms of behavior, I am no different from someone who has married into the Marquis's household, but in terms of status, I am not officially registered as a son-in-law of the Marquis's household. Whether you acknowledge it or not, you have no right to interfere with my entry and exit from the Marquis's household. Forcibly stopping me is tantamount to a servant abusing his master..."

"presumptuous!"

Before Li Xian could finish speaking, he was angrily interrupted by the guard: "I am Zhang Qing, a first-class guard of the Marquis's residence. How dare you speak so disrespectfully to me? Get back here!"

"I'm just making you understand the cause and effect."

Li Xian patiently explained, "You two have no right to interfere with my departure. You're in the wrong for obstructing me. Of course, people are usually reluctant to admit their mistakes, and even if they are wrong, they'll try to shift the blame onto others. But if you do that, you'll have to bear all the consequences of how things unfold. You'll get beaten up, and then you'll be crying and regretting it. How embarrassing would that be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the guard named Zhang Qing shouted angrily, "I told you to get inside! Are you deaf?!"

Another guard couldn't stand it anymore: "What a load of nonsense!"

He reached out and grabbed Li Xian's shoulder.

A pathetic wretch using her own daughter as a shield; let's take her down first.

With his fingers bent and his movements swift, he intended to grab Li Xian's shoulder blade and capture him in one fell swoop.

However, almost at the same time he made his move, Li Xian followed suit.

He wasn't joking when he told Zhang Yao, "I already know how to control strength, strengthen muscles and bones, and train the lungs and internal organs."

Having made progress in martial arts after nearly a month of practice is not just empty talk.

With a swift movement, his muscles and bones creaked, and his arm, like a python, snaked upwards along the guard's grasping arm, striking first and lightning-fast to seize the guard's shoulder blade, twisting it with his fingers...

"Crack!"

"what!"

A agonizing scream immediately echoed through the doorway.

Under the stimulation of pain, the guard felt as if he had lost all strength in half of his body and collapsed instantly.

The other guard, Zhang Qing, stared wide-eyed, both shocked and furious.

but……

But anger outweighed shock.

"Li Xian! How dare you!"

Zhang Qing roared, his energy surging, gathering his inner strength, and unleashed a fierce and domineering punch straight at his face.

If an ordinary person were to take such a punch, breaking half of their teeth would be considered a light punishment.

But almost as soon as he threw the punch, the muscle tremors caused by the gathering of his strength had already indicated the trajectory of the punch to Li Xian.

He took a half step back with his right foot, shifted his upper body, and parried with his left hand. A punch aimed straight at the door was deflected to the side, landing almost just past the outline of his ear.

The moment they clashed, his entire body was stretched out, and his feet were in a bow stance.

And this drawn longbow arrow is the right hand that followed immediately after the punch.

A bow-shaped punch!

As Zhang Qing's punch was blocked and he was still losing control and lunging forward, Li Xian had already ruthlessly cut into his front foot with a simple bow punch.

Within arm's reach, Li Xian's right palm shot up and struck Zhang Qing's chin hard.

Explosion of power!

From bottom to top!

The violent force instantly loosened Zhang Qing's mouth, sent his teeth flying, and made his body, weighing over eighty kilograms, fly straight into the air.

But this is not the end!
A bow-shaped punch, delivered with the palm instead of a fist, sent Zhang Qing flying a foot into the air. He stepped forward, his taut arm suddenly bending, his elbow pressing down, a pause, and a smash!
"Oh!"

"Crack!"

A dull thud and the sound of ribs breaking came at the same time.

Zhang Qing, whose feet were a foot off the ground, was sent flying a meter backward by the impact. He landed heavily on the threshold of the main gate, his mouth full of blood and his face as white as paper.

His gaze toward Li Xian was filled with panic, pain, and disbelief.

"you you……"

"I knew it would be like this."

Meeting his terrified gaze, Li Xian spoke words that immediately reassured him: "Alright, although you were just now unruly, I am not some demon. You are not strong enough to deserve to die at my hands."

He smiled, waved, stepped through the gate, and walked out of the Marquis's residence.

After he left the Marquis's residence, many people from the residence came to see him after hearing the news.

Shortly afterward, a cry of surprise echoed throughout the mansion.

"The son-in-law has devoured his master!"
