Invincible!

Chapter 4 Discussion
"This is the process of absorbing qi to form an elixir!"

Li Xiangong combined his techniques.

"When the body is in perfect harmony and without any leaks, one gathers all the essence and energy within the body, then nourishes the essence and energy through blood exchange and marrow cleansing, nurturing blood and qi. Finally, relying on this wisp of blood and qi, one cultivates the true through the false, infuses it with divine will, refines it into true qi, and enters the realm of the extraordinary!"

He suddenly felt enlightened.

Before achieving complete physical perfection, all of this was to lay the foundation and forge an ultimate physique.

Then, by compressing and nurturing the essence and energy of the whole body without leakage and in a state of primordial chaos, qi and blood are formed. Then, guided by the spirit, the void is refined into the real and true qi is synthesized!
Looking back once more at the process of blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, internal lung training, and external muscle and bone strengthening, Li Xian's thoughts cleared like the sun breaking through the clouds, leaving him with no more doubts.

"In my past life, I couldn't cultivate true qi or reach the Innate Realm, not because I lacked talent or there was no path ahead, but because of the heavens and earth!"

Li looked up and gazed out the window.

The moon was like a jade plate, bright and clear.

"Heaven and earth are like a prison, forging shackles that restrict my growth!"

He reached out and seemed to feel a ray of moonlight shining through the windowsill and falling into his palm.

A palm's breadth, no more than an inch.

He lowered his eyes slightly.

"Stars hang low over the vast plains, the moon surges in the great river's flow."

He was not asleep at that moment.

In this way, by condensing essence and energy using the method of "embracing qi to form an elixir," one maintains the state of primordial unity and begins to comprehend the flow of qi and blood.

Too ambitious?

Simultaneous cultivation of the three realms?

Do not!
He aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding and simultaneous cultivation of all four realms, rapidly accumulating the necessary foundations for the final stage of "no leakage" in the body's muscles, internal organs, blood, and marrow!
"The Grandmasters and Martial Saints of the past were certainly not fools, but when they were focused on internal training of their muscles and bones, they were not Grandmasters or Martial Saints."

He is different.

"I'm."

……

The next day.

Li arrived at the martial arts school first.

Compared to yesterday, there were significantly more people at the martial arts gym today.

At a glance, there are probably twenty or thirty of them.

Among these twenty or thirty people, although they were dressed in simple, close-fitting clothes, the materials were of high quality and the stitching was exquisite, indicating that they were quite wealthy.

With Zhou Juechen absent, Hongyu was busy teaching twenty or thirty people by herself, coming and going.

Seeing this, Li Xian did not disturb them.

He practiced the Jade Fist externally and the Wuji Gong internally.

When he had a free moment, he stepped forward and asked, "There are many disciples in the martial arts school, and it's a bit busy for you to teach them all by yourself. Do you need any help?"

"you?"

Hongyu looked at him in surprise.

"You might be surprised and astonished because I haven't been practicing martial arts for long and feel that my strength is lacking. But in reality, I have been studying martial arts for many years and have a wealth of theoretical knowledge. It's just that I have practiced very little and my muscles and bones are not yet fully developed. After nearly a month of hard practice, I have made some progress and I believe that I am no weaker than you."

Knowing she might not believe him, Li Xian said directly, "The greatest advantage of martial artists is that they don't need to argue about right and wrong with words, so why not have a friendly spar?"

Having studied martial arts for many years?

These words made Hongyu take them a little more seriously.

The four great talents of the Li River were so ingenious and intelligent that they were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She looked at Li Xian.

His physique was indeed not yet fully developed, but he possessed a dignified appearance, a refined and handsome air, and...

Yet he possessed a unique air of composure.

A kind of confidence that seems to allow one to remain calm and composed no matter when or where.

Such people are either ignorant or...

That's really confident.

"Skilled in both literature and martial arts?"

After considering it over, Hongyu finally decided to be more lenient with him and nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's go to the inner courtyard."

She had her disciples practice first, and then took Li Xian directly to the inner courtyard.

"You go first, me go first?"

She reached out her hand to ask.

"Come."

Li waved first.

It's clear that they gave her the first move.

"Ah."

Hongyu didn't waste any words.

As Li Xian himself said, the greatest advantage of martial artists is that they don't need to argue about right and wrong with words.

Let him be arrogant, a beating will make him behave.

"Be careful!"

Hongyu's eyes flashed sharply.

Use your hand as a knife to make a horizontal cut.

As you make the chop, lean forward and take a step.

His left hand was clenched into a fist, poised to strike as he took a step forward.

Li Xian remained calm.

With a swift movement, he deflected the horizontal slash from Hongyu, his peripheral vision precisely capturing the point formed by the power of her toes, waist, hips, and arms.

Then, he reached out, spread his five fingers wide, and instantly caught the punch that Hongyu threw as she stepped forward.

At first glance, it seems as if Hongyu deliberately placed her small fist into the center of his palm.

This scene immediately changed Hongyu's expression.

But then, Li Xian's finger bones tensed, and his strength surged forth, like a golden lock tightly fastened.

Hongyu was unable to pull her arm out for a moment.

With a sudden jerk of Li Xian's arm, a force traveled through her fist and flashed towards her wrist and arm, attempting to dislocate her arm.

not good!

Hongyu's entire body resonated with the sounds of her muscles and bones.

A powerful burst of energy!

The sleeve of her arm seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. It was actually the strength of her muscles and bones that dissipated the force transmitted by Li Xian's tremor. Then, with a flick of her wrist, the shock force was released outward, forcibly breaking free from Li Xian's tight grip.

Before she could dodge and retreat to create distance, she felt a slight chill on her neck.

"!!?"

As she unleashed her full power to break free from Li Xian's grasp, his other hand flashed in, his fingers forming a sword as he slashed across her neck.

This blow...

If it hadn't just grazed her neck, but instead struck her throat and cervical spine directly...

"I am dead?"

Hongyu found it hard to believe.

She clearly felt that Li Xian wasn't strong, so how could he...?

We lost like that?

"Hmm." Li Xian nodded slightly, his calm demeanor as if he were stating the most normal thing in the world: "Your exertion is too obvious. Every move you make is completely undisguised in my eyes. You're practically telling me that you're going to throw a punch and that you're going to attack from this direction. With just a slight adjustment, I can put you in danger and make you forget about the bigger crisis."

"I……"

Her master had told her about these shortcomings, and she had clearly been consciously trying to avoid them.

The result is so obvious!?
Seeing this, Li Xian realized one of his own flaws.

In his previous life, he learned martial arts from an old Taoist priest, but he was poorly educated and could not speak.

Speaking so bluntly right now can easily hurt people...

Then he comforted her with kind words: "Actually, you are still very strong. Your muscles and bones are fully developed and your internal strength is surging. Look, you shook my palms until they turned red. If I hadn't let go before your internal strength exploded, I might have broken my bones. So, you are still very powerful."

As he spoke, he raised his hand.

It is indeed bright red.

Instead of comforting her, Hongyu felt even more ashamed and embarrassed, unable to face anyone.

Especially when she thought about the lessons she had taught Li Xian yesterday, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She felt ashamed, but also somewhat annoyed.

"You clearly have this ability, why don't you say so?"

“I told you, I already have a clue about the first four realms, but you didn’t believe me.”

Li Xiandao.

Hongyu was taken aback.

These words...

He did say that.

"Of course, I am only rich in theory. To truly reach the level of internal cultivation and blood purification, I still need time to hone my skills."

Let me explain again.

"You...you mean, you really can summarize so many theories just by reading books, and then, through long-term contemplation, arrive at these experiences and insights?"

Hongyu looked on incredulously.

Practicing martial arts...

That easy!?
"Ah."

Reading?

Li Xianshu didn't read much.

But he couldn't tell Hongyu that he was a person who had been reborn.

This is utterly absurd.

Too lazy to explain, he simply followed her line of thought: "You can understand it this way."

"This……"

Hongyu appeared dazed, as if she had suffered an unprecedented mental blow.

"Is this what a martial arts genius, one in a million, looks like?"

She recalled her own arduous martial arts training since she was thirteen, spending a year developing internal strength and five years building her bones and muscles, and compared it to the talented scholar from the Li River before her...

It's like they've trained a dog on its own.

Unable to comprehend Hongyu's thoughts, Li Xian offered a brief explanation before getting straight to the point, stating his purpose: "I see there are twenty or thirty disciples in the martial arts school, but you are the only instructor. I was wondering if you need to hire a temporary instructor? I'm applying for the position, which will last for one month. All I need to do is provide daily meals and a bowl of eight-treasure soup."

"Teaching?"

Li Xian's words brought Hongyu back to her senses.

Her gaze fell on Li Xian.

Judging from how easily he defeated her...

His combat strength is probably comparable to that of martial artists who have cultivated their internal organs within the four realms of martial arts.

Once a martial artist reaches the level of internal cultivation, they can make a name for themselves in the martial arts world, open a school in the city, and be respected as a martial arts master.

Most of the martial arts school directors in the city are at this level.

Even some old and frail museum directors have retired to the background, relying solely on their Yi Jin Jing disciples to maintain the reputation of their establishments, yet people still flock to them seeking apprenticeship.

With his skills, Li Xian was more than qualified to apply for a teaching position at Longquan Martial Arts School.

only……

"no?"

Li Xian seemed to sense her hesitation and lowered his demands: "It's fine if you don't take care of her daily meals, just provide one serving of eight-treasure soup every day."

"no no."

Hongyu quickly waved her hand: "I am very happy that Young Master Li is willing to join the martial arts school, but... Master set off for Canglang Mountain early this morning to attend a grand martial arts event. He is not in the city, so I cannot make a decision on this matter..."

At this point, she seemed to realize something: "Wait! Is it because of the Eight Treasure Soup? Master instructed that you can have a bowl of Eight Treasure Soup whenever you come here recently."

"One bowl, the portion is a bit small."

Li Xian truthfully stated.

"You want two bowls?"

"If you let me take as much supplement as I want, I will supplement it with secret techniques to aid digestion. Three bowls a day is the best."

Three bowls!?

Hongyu unconsciously widened her eyes.

Can this be digested?

After a moment, she made up her mind.

“Although Master is not here, he has entrusted the affairs of the martial arts school to me during this time. As for the eight-treasure soup, as long as you can digest it, I can grant you three bowls. As for the matter of becoming an instructor…”

Although Hongyu believed in Li Xian's abilities, without his master's certification, she ultimately dared not risk the reputation of Longquan Martial Arts School.

What's more...

This young master Li also has a big problem.

"You should practice martial arts first. Your food and other necessities will be provided by the martial arts school. We'll discuss the instructors when the master returns."

Red Jade Road.

"it is good."

With three bowls of eight-treasure soup available, Li Xian had already achieved his goal, not to mention that he didn't need to spend time teaching his disciples.

"I'll tell Uncle Fu that you want to drink eight-treasure soup, and you can just go over there."

"Thank you."

"no need to thank me."

Hongyu looked at Li Xian, her eyes gleaming.

Her master told her yesterday that in three months, it was uncertain whether Li Xian would be able to comprehend the power of internal energy, or whether he could penetrate the bones and temper his physique.

I never expected...

It's more than just bone forging!

If this trend continues, he might be able to achieve mastery of the lung and internal organs in three months!
"I wonder how Master will react when he returns and hears this news."

She suddenly felt a little excited.

Moreover, the three strongest young martial arts masters of Lijiang are at this level, and if this young master Li can really reach that level in three months...

It's simply legendary!
Cong Wen, one of the Four Great Talents of the Li River, truly lives up to his name!

Congwu, one of the Four Heroes of the Lijiang River, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse!

And she... Hongyu!
He was a firsthand witness to this legend!
