MTL - You Are Just Making Up the Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 87 Jade bones paint mountains and rivers, Xu Yan enters the innate world (please vote for me)

"It's different. Without your training, I wouldn't be able to suddenly realize it. I wouldn't be able to realize that every word and deed of the master has laid the foundation for me to understand the sword's intention in advance."

Xu Yan shook his head and spoke truthfully.

Without Xie Lingfeng's questions and sparring, his feelings would not have been touched. Therefore, Xie Lingfeng still deserves some credit for being able to comprehend the meaning of Shanhe Sword so quickly.

“Brother Xu, can I meet my senior?”

Xie Lingfeng said with a look of fascination.

 “I have to ask my master.”

Xu Yan thought for a while and said.

“Then thank you so much, Brother Xu.”

 Xie Lingfeng was grateful.

 After a pause, he sighed, "I, Xie Lingfeng, thought I had outstanding talent in swordsmanship, but I never thought that I had never even entered the door of swordsmanship.

 “Brother Xu, how can I make the sword’s heart clear?”

 The foundation for entering the art of swordsmanship is to have a clear heart of the sword.

Xie Lingfeng also wanted to realize that the sword's heart is transparent. As for the realm beyond the sword's heart being transparent, it was too far away for him.

It is an honor enough to be able to have a clear sword mind and enter the door of kendo in this life.

 How to make the sword’s heart clear?

Xu Yan was startled for a moment. He didn't know how to teach Xie Lingfeng. After all, their cultivation methods were different.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yan felt that before the sword's heart became clear, the first thing was to improve his state of mind and make it clear.

"Master said, 'There is no woman in the heart, cultivation is like having gods.' This artistic conception is so profound that it breaks the shackles of my own mental state. It is precisely because I clearly understood the analogy of Master's sentence to the artistic conception that I have a solid foundation, and then I have The basis for the transparency of the sword's heart.

“So, if you want the sword’s heart to be clear, you must first achieve ‘no woman in your heart’. In such a state of mind, you will not be disturbed by external objects and you will be clear about yourself. Only then can you step into the sword’s heart to be clear.”

With this thought, Xu Yan asked: "Brother Xie, do you miss a woman?"

Although Xie Lingfeng is older than him, he is still in his prime of life, the stage where he is most easily attracted to women. If he can avoid being tempted by women and can follow his heart, his state of mind will have the basis for understanding the sword and his heart.

 Xie Lingfeng was confused.

I asked about swordsmanship, but you said women?

This thinking is too exaggerated.

 “Perhaps… you kind of want to… think about it, right?”

 Xie Lingfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

“Brother Xie, the basis of a clear sword heart lies in a clear state of mind, that is, being able to control oneself without being disturbed by external objects.

"One of the prerequisites for entering the swordsmanship is to have no desire for women. Only in this way can there be hope."

Xu Yan said solemnly.

Xie Lingfeng continued to be confused, his eyes were a little dazed, and said: "You don't have a woman in your heart? Does that mean..."

 He glanced down at the area below his lower abdomen.

"Brother Xie, you are wrong. The so-called "having no heart for women" does not mean abandoning women. It is a state, a state of mind... To put it bluntly, if I am not moved by women, women's **** will not be enough to make me moved...

 “It is a state of mind that controls one’s self and clarifies one’s heart.”

Xu Yan hurriedly explained.

 Lest Xie Lingfeng get a misunderstanding and directly cut his brother with a knife.

Xie Lingfeng’s eyes were blank. What was his state of mind? How to realize it?

 It’s so mysterious.

There is no woman in my heart, it does not mean that I abandon women, but I also control myself...

“Am I not suitable for practicing swordsmanship?”

 Xie Lingfeng fell into self-doubt.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, Brother Xu, how can I achieve the state of mind that you said, 'There is no woman in my heart'?"

Xu Yan thought for a moment and realized that he had gone to Queen Qi's Palace to hone his mental state and had a huge improvement.

So he said bluntly: "At first, I went to the harem of Emperor Qi to watch his beautiful concubines dancing and being graceful, so as to hone my mind and finally achieve something."

 “Thank you, Brother Xu, for your advice!”

Xie Lingfeng’s eyes lit up and he solemnly thanked him.

 “Thank you for being so polite, brother.”

Xu Yan felt that he helped him understand the meaning of the sword in advance, and it was appropriate for him to give him some guidance on how to practice and improve his state of mind.

This day, for Xie Lingfeng, seemed to open a skylight and see the real world.

He had a glimpse of the mysteries of swordsmanship, but he couldn't get to the point.

 The meaning of the sword is so mysterious.

How can one say that one has entered the gate of swordsmanship before he has understood the meaning of swordsmanship?

Leaving Xu Yan's residence and returning to the palace where he lived, Xie Lingfeng saw Hu Shan, still looking a little depressed, so he said: "Hu Shan, you should be happy. After learning the truth about martial arts, you should pursue the true martial arts! "

Hu Shan gave a bitter smile and said, "Master, it's easy to say, but I still can't accept it!"

 “Nothing is unacceptable.”

Xie Lingfeng said with firm eyes: "I want to practice true martial arts, and I want to truly step into the door of swordsmanship."

Hu Shan was startled, as if he saw the young master again, pursuing the way of swordsmanship at Jianzun Cliff.

 “Master, what’s wrong with you?”

"Hu Shan, do you know the meaning of the sword? Today, I know what the true way of the sword is."

 Xie Lingfeng exhaled and said.

 “Sword Intent?”

　 Hu Shan murmured.

Xie Lingfeng told what happened today that Xu Yan realized the sword intention, and finally said: "The sword intention of mountains and rivers is really powerful!"

Hu Shan could not calm down for a long time.

 …

Xu Yan finally understood the meaning of the sword, and he decided to return to Yunshan County to break through the innate realm.

 Before leaving, he gave guidance to Guo Rongshan and others on their cultivation.

On this day, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan saw each other off.

“Brother Xie, if you are my master and want to see you, I will send a message to my grandpa and ask him to inform you!”

 Xu Yan cupped his hands and said.

 “Thank you so much, Brother Xu!”

 Xie Lingfeng was grateful.

 He wanted to visit Xu Yan’s master, the mysterious reclusive master.

 This is an opportunity!

Must grasp it!

 “Farewell!”

  Xu Yan arched his hands, turned and left.

 Yunshan County.

Meng Chong is studying the Eight Diagrams. The more he ponders, the more mysterious he becomes. He always feels that he has some understanding, but he still cannot grasp the key points.

 “Don’t rush things.”

Meng Chong took a deep breath to calm down his impatient heart.

Li Xuan paid attention to Meng Chong for a few days and stopped paying attention. With Meng Chong's talent, he must be able to understand something.

 Suddenly, Goldfinger’s feedback appeared.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has understood the Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers, and you have achieved great success in Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers!”

 Boom!

 The sword intention came to mind, as if he was born with the sword intention.

Sword Intent of Mountains and Rivers!

Li Xuan was immediately overjoyed, "What a good disciple, you have already understood the meaning of the sword before you have broken through the innate realm. You really have the appearance of a sword god!"

 The great cause of martial arts has taken another big step forward.

In a moment of thought, an inexplicable aura enveloped the small courtyard, as if the mountains and rivers were all in the small courtyard. It had an endless meaning, but also lurked sharp and ruthless.

Shi Er, who was practicing, suddenly felt as if he had entered a mountain and river.

 How insignificant oneself is.

The mountains and rivers seemed ruthless, as if they could bury the common people, and he was being buried by the mountains and rivers.

"what happened?"

Shi Er was shocked.

 “I want to get out!”

 He wanted to struggle, but was unable to move. In the end, he gritted his teeth and continued to use his skills to temper his bones.

“I want to become stronger. The faster I become stronger, the faster I can get out of here!”

With this belief in his heart, Shi Er was refining his bones like crazy.

 In a daze, he felt as if he was being eroded by mountains and rivers, but because of his tenacious resistance, the speed of bone refining increased greatly, and the speed of engulfment by mountains and rivers continued to weaken.

 Overjoyed, he practiced even harder. Li Xuan glanced at Shi Er silently. He just used the Mountain and River Sword Intent and pressed it a little, which actually greatly increased the speed of Shi Er's bone refining.

“Sword intent can be tempered, from the physical body to the spiritual one.”

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

 When Xu Yan comes back, give him a reminder and let his apprentice continue to develop the wonderful use of the sword.

Shi Er woke up from the state of being enveloped by mountains and rivers. He was shocked to find that he had actually tempered copper bones!

Unknowingly, the tempering of the iron bones was completed in a short period of time.

At this moment, he understood something.

 “Thank you Lord!”

 Saluted respectfully to Li Xuan.

“Well, practice hard and get started as soon as possible.”

 Li Xuan nodded.

 Xu Yan is back.

 “Master!”

Xu Yan saluted respectfully.

　　"Okay! Okay! Disciple, if you can understand the meaning of the sword before you break through, all your hard work as a master will be in vain!"

Li Xuan looked pleased.

"Sure enough! Master has been teaching me through words and deeds from the very beginning, laying the foundation for me to understand the meaning of the sword."

When Xu Yan heard this, he was immediately moved.

 “Thank you, Master!”

“Disciple, the sword’s meaning is mysterious and you can refine yourself. It’s not just about killing enemies and winning. You have to learn more about it.”

Li Xuan said solemnly.

 “Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan was thoughtful, he had not yet fully understood the essence of the sword's meaning.

 Master is reminding himself that the sword is not just for fighting enemies!

“It’s time for you to break through the innate realm.”

 “This disciple will be able to break through in the next few days.”

“Go, settle down, and break through the innate realm. Only by breaking through the innate realm can we truly step into the path of martial arts, transcending the mundane world.

“The Qi and Blood Realm can only be regarded as opening the door to martial arts.”

Li Xuan said seriously.

 “Disciple understands!”

 Xu Yan bowed and saluted.

Outside Yunshan County, Meng Chong is still practicing the Bagua, comprehending the wonderful principles of the Bagua, and comprehending the body method.

 Xu Yan's figure appeared, and he was surprised when he saw Meng Chong doing the gossip.

“Junior brother’s understanding of the Bagua seems to be somewhat different from mine? Could it be that my junior brother’s understanding is wrong?

"No! If the junior brother understands something wrong, how can the master not correct it?"

Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but think deeply.

“Everyone’s understanding of the wonderful principles of Bagua is different. Maybe we can confirm each other and gain more insights.”

Meng Chong stopped and said happily: "Brother, you are back."

“Junior brother, are you meditating on the body method?”

“Yes, but junior brother is stupid and hasn’t understood it yet!”

Meng Chong touched his bald head, looking a little ashamed.

“There is no rush to understand the techniques. The mysteries of the Eight Diagrams have different insights. After I break through the innate realm, we can argue with each other and exchange our insights, and we will definitely gain different results.”

 Xu Yan patted Meng Chong on the shoulder and said.

"good!"

Meng Chong nodded.

After exchanging pleasantries with Meng Chong, Xu Yan left the forest and came to the hillside not far away.

 Sit down cross-legged and calm yourself.

 Prepare to break through the innate realm.

 He has already understood the techniques of the Xiantian realm.

 Breakthrough is not a problem.

 Three days later.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and began to circulate his qi and blood, condensing them continuously. As the qi and blood condensed, the jade bones shone brightly.

“Qi and blood are condensed into innate true Qi, which connects the bridge of heaven and earth, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and opens up the Dantian Qi sea..."

Xu Yan urged his energy and blood, and while condensing it, he penetrated the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and a roaring sound resounded in his body.

 A mysterious feeling came to my mind.

His intuition told him that if the bridge between heaven and earth was connected, he could sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and inhale and practice spiritual energy.

 Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Bridge is being connected bit by bit under the impact of Qi and blood. It seems that there is a shining avenue in the body that is being formed.

“This is the Bridge of Heaven and Earth? A bridge that connects heaven and earth by itself.”

Xu Yan was excited.

 Boom!

The qi and blood continued to impact, and the bridge of heaven and earth opened up bit by bit, but not at a fast speed. As the bridge of heaven and earth began to connect, the qi and blood continued to condense, and began to show signs of transformation.

The jade bones all over his body are exuding brilliance at this moment.

“Master said that sword spirit can temper oneself, not only to fight against the enemy...”

 Xu Yan suddenly remembered his master’s words.

 With a thought in his mind, the sword intention emerged.

“The sword’s intention merges into the blood, connects the bridge between heaven and earth, and merges into the jade bone…”

In Xu Yan's body, the Mountain and River Sword Intent was flowing. As the Sword Intent entered his Qi and blood, in an instant, some kind of transformation seemed to be taking place.

On the flawless jade bone, mysterious lines gradually appeared as the sword's intention flowed. The thin, flawless lines seemed to depict mountains and rivers.

Xu Yan, who was immersed in the breakthrough, was running his sword intent, condensing his energy and blood, and connecting the bridge of heaven and earth. He was still unaware of some kind of transformation that had happened to himself.

 Boom!

 After the sword intention was integrated into the qi and blood, the speed of the bridge between heaven and earth gradually increased.

On the Heaven and Earth Bridge, the shadow of the sword seemed to appear.

At a certain moment, Xu Yan had a flash of inspiration: "If the sword intention is integrated into the qi and blood, then my qi and blood condense the Dragon Subduing Palm, and use the Dragon Subduing Palm to penetrate the bridge of heaven and earth. Wouldn't it be faster?"

 Just do it if you think of it.

 Boom!

The energy and blood suddenly turned into a giant dragon, roaring and constantly attacking the Heaven and Earth Bridge. As the dragon penetrated the Heaven and Earth Bridge, gradually, a dragon shape seemed to appear on the Heaven and Earth Bridge.

 It seems like there is a giant dragon lying on the Heaven and Earth Bridge!

 The sword intention merged into the energy and blood, and the energy and blood turned into a giant dragon. At this moment, something seemed to have changed in the Dragon Subduing Palm.

 Xu Yan had some realizations in his mind.

 Boom!

The Heaven and Earth Bridge continues to connect, getting bigger and wider.

The qi and blood gradually took on the form of innate true qi. In its purity, it contained a great power, like the power of a true dragon.

 It also contains sharp edges and is endless, like mountains and rivers.

 The jade bones shine brightly, and the mountains and rivers are depicted on the flawless jade bones, showing the image of flawless mountains and rivers.

At a certain moment, a dragon roar seemed to resound within the body. The giant dragon circled around the body and disappeared into the jade bones, as if a real dragon was hiding in the mountains and rivers.

The Heaven and Earth Bridge was also connected at this moment.

 Boom!

The qi and blood suddenly transformed and turned into innate true qi.

At this moment, Xu Yan felt his senses transform, as if the world had become clearer.

 He seems to have merged into the heaven and earth.

 The aura of heaven and earth has been sensed.

The violent spiritual energy rolled in as he swallowed it, passed through the bridge of heaven and earth, and poured into the sea of ​​​​Qi in Dantian.

 Boom!

The Dantian vibrates, as if the world was created. Under the impact of spiritual energy, the prototype of the Dantian Qi Sea appears.
