Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Then, after a moment's thought, it said:

"It's just strange that this person is only at the Nascent Soul stage, not even at the threshold of the Divine Illumination stage, yet he has escaped from the little dragon's clutches time and time again. The flying sword in his hand exudes a murderous aura, and even the little dragon's body feels the murderous intent, making its heart tremble with fear."

"Moreover, she has many magical treasures protecting her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to defeat her."

"Yan Shisan once told me that this person is one of the Three Heroes and Two Clouds, and has a destiny bestowed upon him. He cannot be killed easily. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation, he may have a miraculous encounter and escape. He might even obtain some magical treasures or divine weapons!"

Su Yuchen nodded and said, "Those three heroes and two clouds have great fortune; they are born to be calamities, but what a pity!"

The little dragon didn't know what he was regretting, and was too lazy to ask. In his heart, the collar that Su Yuchen wore around his neck was better than any magical weapon or flying sword.

If I hadn't been unable to activate this circle before, I could have crushed Li Yingqiong with a single claw.

"Yan Shisan said that my necklace is a replica of the Vajra Bracelet, a first-class magic weapon that can collect all magic weapons and divine weapons in the world."

"I've collected so many magical treasures and flying swords before, I wonder if you don't want them, sir? If not, I, Old Dragon, will have to ask for a couple to give to Brother Yan."

"Alas! It's all the fault of the human-brewed wine. Old Dragon accidentally drank too much and started bragging, saying that the Master had already given me the apron, and then he couldn't help but show off and insisted on giving him two more magic treasures. Now it's impossible to see him."

"Listen," the little fire dragon muttered to itself. Su Yuchen couldn't help but chuckle. It was truly difficult for it to learn good things, but it could easily learn bad ones.

………………

"You and that guy named Yan Shisan, you get along very well?" Su Yuchen asked.

The little dragon nodded and said:

"Yan Shisan is generous and magnanimous. He and I bartered goods with each other and he never let me suffer a loss. He is much better than other human beings. Moreover, he taught me a lot about human relationships. I like him very much."

"Moreover, he also has a sister who is straightforward. She told me a lot of things, which gave me a greater understanding of the darker side of human nature."

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

“Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. Your insight is part of cultivating your mind. Even if you enter the mortal world in the future, you won’t be sold off for money.”

"Now that you are my guardian spirit beast, I cannot fail to repay you in some way."

"Go find Yan Shisan. One option is to ask him to choose two magical treasures or divine weapons from the Vajra Bracelet as a reward; the other is to allow him to enter the manor's spirit herb garden to pick spirit fruits and herbs; choose one of these two options."

The little dragon was overjoyed and said with a beaming smile, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Su Yuchen looked at its roguish appearance and couldn't help but shake his head. He reached out and pointed, sending a golden light into its mind, saying:

"Now that you are willing to travel for me, you cannot be without a means of protection. This large and small Ruyi is something I acquired before, and I will give it to you now."

"Moreover, in order to avoid you disgracing the master, you are specially permitted to use the Vajra Bracelet for protection. You must not become arrogant because of this and ruin your cultivation."

The little dragon felt the new supernatural seed in its mind and felt it was perfectly suited to it, as if it was something it was born to possess. It was overjoyed.

Hearing Su Yuchen's words, it nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, rest assured, I know that I have this opportunity because I have accumulated merit and my aura is pure. This is why I have the chance to be noticed by you. I will not ruin my future."

"By the way, sir. This is a dragon cultivation method that I obtained from my bloodline. I offer it to you."

Su Yuchen waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently:

"I'll gladly accept the cultivation technique; it just so happens that I, sir, will find it useful."

"As for the rest, as long as you don't commit murders in vain and become burdened with sins, that's fine."

“Doing good deeds and accumulating merit is always beneficial and harmless. As for killing one or two people, it doesn’t matter. Does that mean you can be killed but not killed? What’s the point of spiritual practice then?”

The little dragon nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Su Yuchen waved his hand and said, "Go and call Li Xiaochen over, then go and have some fun!"

"If you need anything, sir, just let me know, and I'll be there whenever you call," the little fire dragon replied, and immediately headed towards the alchemy room.

………………

"Junior Li Xiaochen has come as summoned!"

Su Yuchen's eyes flashed, and he said, "Come in!"

Then Li Xiaochen strode in, and upon seeing Su Yuchen, he bowed respectfully and said, "Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Senior! May you enjoy eternal bliss!"

Su Yuchen shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and a futon and a Qiankun bag appeared in front of him.

Amid Li Xiaochen's confusion, Su Yuchen said:

"Previously, without your permission, I had the opportunity to peek into the fundamental scriptures of your cultivation and even had a glimpse of the 'Primordial Qi True Scripture,' so I cannot fail to report this."

"This futon is a water and fire futon, possessing the attributes of water and fire. It can not only unleash divine thunder of water and fire, but also serve as a protective treasure. Most importantly, when used for cultivation, it can calm the mind and dispel the disturbances of inner demons. It is a treasure for cultivation."

"This Qiankun bag contains all of Zhu Hong's belongings, which I, the humble Taoist priest, return to you in their original form."

"If you are willing, I will use these two items to settle the karmic debt. You can take them and leave."

Li Xiaochen was slightly taken aback. The Formless Asura Blade Scripture quietly began to operate, and he visualized a beautiful female Asura in his mind, who was exactly the same as himself and had a bewitching charm.

This is a secret technique she found after reading the "Formless Asura Blade Scripture," which can suppress the mind and prevent powerful beings from spying on one's thoughts.

Then, a thought secretly began to run through his mind:

It seems this 'NPC' native is indeed a righteous cultivator. But then again, someone who has cultivated to such a level of Buddhist Dharma wouldn't have such a dark mind.

However, how could you possibly settle this matter with this? I am a natural disaster, and I'll squeeze every last drop out of you, even if it's not a benefit. If I leave now, wouldn't I be losing out big time?

This water-and-fire futon is nice, but it can't compare to a golden thigh. If you play it right, even a tiny bit of money slipping through your fingers is better than a lifetime of hard work.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaochen bowed deeply and said:

"Being able to cultivate in your cave is already a great fortune for me; the fact that you haven't angered me is a blessing. But I absolutely cannot accept this magic treasure."

"I have some doubts, and I would be extremely grateful if you could clear them up."

Seeing Li Xiaochen fall into the trap, Su Yuchen was not surprised at all. These natural disasters are all like this, where people want more after getting what they want.

However, this doesn't conflict with my own ideas, so why not do it!

"Oh? What questions do you have? Feel free to tell me," Su Yuchen said.

Chapter 628 Deceiving Li Xiaochen

Li Xiaochen bowed and said:

"When I first started cultivating, I unintentionally obtained this 'Formless Asura Blade Scripture'."

"I had the good fortune to glimpse a corner of this true scripture from your teachings, but now I am filled with unease."

"Although I am confident, upon careful consideration now, I realize that I have neither the guidance of a senior master nor the support of any foundation. What virtue or ability do I possess to obtain such a profound and secret manual?"

"Moreover, the Asura path is rumored to be one of the evil paths, certainly not benevolent. The more I think about it these days, the more frightened I become. I wonder if there is some conspiracy or scheme involved?"

After speaking, Li Xiaochen looked hesitant and worried, and this was not an act.

In her previous life, she was also a wealthy young lady. Although she didn't have any profound management skills, she had seen a lot from her father and knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch or dinner.

There's a saying from my past life: every gift that fate bestows has a price already marked in secret.

"My father often said that when others do you favors, you will only want more in the future."

"I was so blinded by this scripture that I was too confident. Now that I think about it, the Asuras are not benevolent beings in myths and legends."

Li Xiaochen thought of it.

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

"When you practice this sutra, you should understand that although it is dressed in Buddhist robes, its essence is to transform all energy and spiritual energy into Asura's malevolent energy."

"Actually, this sutra is not very harmful. However, as your cultivation level increases, everything about you will inevitably shift towards the Asura race."

"If needed, the great power that transmitted this scripture can naturally descend through your body."

"The advantage is that you can get a glimpse of the supreme cultivation realm of Asura; of course, there are also disadvantages. If that great being is willing, he can also transform you into an incarnation of 'He'."

Li Xiaochen said bitterly, "Am I still myself then?"

Su Yuchen smiled and said nonchalantly:

"Young friend, why worry? If you cultivate to the point where you can accommodate the descent of that great being, you will already be a true Asura. Moreover, the path of cultivation is arduous, and whether you can even reach that level is unknown."

"Even if we take a step back and assume that this is just one of the options that powerful person has, it may not even be used."

"Moreover, if one can truly glimpse the supreme wonders of the Asura realm, then one's cultivation in this life will be without regrets. Wouldn't that be a great blessing for you, young friend?"

Li Xiaochen felt a chill run down his spine and said:

Judging from your words, you clearly don't take this seriously, which means you obviously put yourself on the same level as the great master who passed down this scripture.

You NPC natives don't take me seriously, and I'm not going to let you 'possess me'! Why should I? I don't owe you anything.

Why all this rambling? Isn't it just because you don't want to offend your competitors? Do you think I'm no longer of any use to you?

Sigh! Dad was right after all. A person needs to have value. If you don't have value, no one will even bother to use you.

When did I ever become so degrading?! Dad, I finally understand your teachings now, but unfortunately you won't see it!

Li Xiaochen felt a chill run down his spine, but he remained extremely respectful, saying, "This junior only wishes to be himself, please save me, senior."

Su Yuchen deliberately feigned a troubled expression and said, "This is indeed a bit difficult..."

Li Xiaochen lowered her head, inwardly scoffing. What's so difficult about it? They just think my price isn't high enough! Come on, test me! I'll treat this like playing a game and beating the final boss.

"Please, senior, save me. If you have any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Su Yuchen Yuan Xinyin listened to her inner thoughts and nodded, revealing an expression of being teachable. It was a pity that he didn't have a beard, otherwise, if he had a more otherworldly and dignified appearance, he would have been even more impressive.

Just listen to him say:

"It is a stroke of good fortune that you were able to meet me in the Returning Origin Realm."

"If you reach the Yuan Dan realm, and your essence, energy, and spirit combine to form a Shura Heavenly Fiend Pill, then the three treasures will return to their origin. Even I, the humble Daoist, will have no way to help you. I can only assist you in reincarnating and starting anew."

"I was seriously injured before, but by chance I obtained a Buddhist scripture, which allowed me to recover from my injuries."

"It's quite a coincidence. Your 'Formless Asura Blade Scripture' happens to be draped in Buddhist robes, which is exactly within my capabilities."

"I can refer to that Buddhist scripture and modify your scripture so that it no longer focuses solely on the Asura Heavenly Fiend Qi, but rather integrates Buddhism and Demonism."

"Just like the Taoist principle of Yin and Yang, one cultivates the Buddhist subduing demon true energy above and the Asura heavenly evil energy below, integrating purity and evil, harmonizing Yin and Yang, to refine a Buddha-demon elixir."

"At that time, Buddha and demon will be one, you will be you, and he will be he. It will be impossible for that great power to descend again. At the very least, he will have to fight you, but you will have the advantage of playing on home ground. Who will win and who will lose will only be known after the fight."

Are you satisfied with this?

Li Xiaochen bowed repeatedly, saying, "Satisfied, satisfied! Please grant my request, senior!"

[As a seasoned cunning old fox, you've been plotting from the very beginning. Young man, you're starting to have that old monster vibe.]

Su Yuchen's lips curled up slightly. Ignoring the system, he said, "It will take time for me to revise this 'Formless Asura Blade Scripture' by referring to that Buddhist scripture. I cannot give it to you in a short time."

"Hmph! What a piece of trash! All he wants is benefits, right? Sigh! If it were a game, you could just post the quests and I could just do them. Now I have to figure out how to please you!" Li Xiaochen muttered to himself.

Then her eyes lit up, and she said:

"I have no way to repay such a great kindness from you, senior."

"When I was cultivating overseas, I accidentally learned about a former residence. There was a faint Buddhist light there, so there must be some treasures inside that you can use to decorate your cave."

"I will go and fetch it right away. Please don't find it too much, senior. This is the only thing I can do."

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

"So you've put your heart into this! Well then, I can't refuse your kind offer, so I'll grant your request!"

"When you return, go find my guardian spirit beast, and you can return to my cave."

"Yes. Then this junior will take his leave now, so that he may return home soon." Li Xiaochen replied, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.

As he made his way towards the outer edge of the cave, he thought to himself:

"It seems that this Asura Secret Technique is quite useful. This 'NPC' native should not have seen through my thoughts, otherwise he would have turned against me long ago."

"That's good. If I can really get a better cultivation technique, I'll be rich! Sigh, there really are benefits waiting for me. If I had been stupid enough to choose that futon, I would have lost out big time!"

"Hmph! And that fire dragon, you just wait. Once I've won the old man over and made him my disciple, I'll give you a good beating."

"You, a mere gatekeeper spirit beast, dare to look down on me time and time again! Don't you know the meaning of 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential'?"

Upon arriving at the outer perimeter of the cave, a flash of spiritual light appeared, and a portal opened out of thin air. Li Xiaochen stepped out and found himself in a boundless sea. A large coastline was clearly visible in the distance, indicating that he had been teleported to the coast of the South China Sea.

Chapter 629 Supernatural Power Cultivation Methods, Emei's Scheme

Su Yuchen watched Li Xiaochen leave the cave before smiling and closing his eyes to deduce, not to deceive Li Xiaochen.
