Volume 1: Martial World Chapter 85: Qi Clash?

  Due to an accident, a part of Shu Shan's strength was exposed, and Xu Xian, who was the person involved, did not know about it. After discussing the reconstruction of the inn with Ye Wen, he returned to his room to meditate and practice his skills.

  Xu Xian has now realized that he still has a huge gap with his senior brother in terms of internal skills, especially after yesterday's big battle. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he still managed to find out about the specific process. To say nothing of other things, just Ye Wen using his internal energy to protect himself and then exploding to counterattack the hidden weapons, Xu Xian can't do that at all.

  Moreover, he is not simply unable to do it, even if he wants to imitate it with great difficulty, he will still fall short! Whether it's his current internal skill or the level of his current cultivation method, neither is sufficient to support him in making such a showy move.

  Among them, the depth of Neigong Xinfang is not something he can solve. Although he has a good talent and some talent, but in terms of martial arts, he is indeed a newcomer. Although it won't have any impact when fighting with others, if you want to talk about some profound theories, he can't do it.

  Even under Ye Wen's guidance, Xu Xian completed the return of the wind and geese sword, but he didn't think that he had really become a master. Instead, in constant discussions with his senior brother, he realized the huge gap between himself and Ye Wen - not in terms of skill or cultivation, but in understanding of martial arts!

  Ye Wen's own exploration of swordsmanship would occasionally give rise to ideas that left Xu Xian in awe, only for him to discover that his own painstaking efforts often paled in comparison to the sudden bursts of inspiration from his senior brother. The Wind and Goose Sword, although completed by himself, owed a great deal to his senior brother's timely hints at crucial junctures.

  Xu Xian was originally clever and naturally wouldn't be unaware of this point, so he admired his senior brother from the bottom of his heart. His senior brother's occasional ingenious ideas and imagination that seemed to defy the ordinary were beyond his reach. Creating martial arts required not only cultivation but also a great deal of imaginative power.

  At least he didn't think that from time to time, an idea about martial arts would pop up in his mind, and then he would concoct a new martial art! Let alone the external skills, which are even more difficult to understand than the internal skills of the mind.

  In fact, although Xu Xian has already practiced the carefree heart method to a high level of proficiency, he only has a relatively good understanding of this heart method. To say that he can gain even deeper insights and skills from this heart method is somewhat beyond his capabilities.

  So, for the time being, he couldn't think of a way to improve his skills, perhaps the only thing he could do was to go find his senior brother and ask if he had any suitable suggestions - of course, he could also wait until his senior brother mastered the Purple Mist Skill he was currently practicing, and then learn from him directly. He believed that as long as he made a request to learn, Ye Wen would not refuse.

  Apart from this, the only thing he could do was to improve his cultivation before his senior brother or teacher taught him a more profound technique. As Ye Wen had once told him, no matter what technique it was, if one already had a deep enough foundation before learning it, then cultivating it would be twice as effective with half the effort.

  At the same time, I also took my current cultivation of Purple Mist Skill as an example: If I had a more profound inner strength when practicing this skill, then with the help of Cold Pond, it may be possible to reach the state of Great Completion or near Great Completion in a very short period of time. Now, I can only accumulate my inner strength bit by bit while slowly improving my Purple Mist Skill.

  It's like you're carrying a bucket of water to pour into a vat. If the bucket is already full, then you'll need to make one fewer trip to fill the vat. But if it's empty, then you can't avoid making an extra trip.

  "Of course, if you're holding a bucket in your hand, then filling that bucket with water in the blink of an eye isn't anything strange!"

  But Ning Ruxue retorted: "Since we already have one water tank, why bother adding water to another?"

  Ye Wen could only use: "I was just making an analogy!" to get past it.

  With this vivid explanation, Xu Xianping always paid attention to improving his cultivation, but what he didn't know was that Ye Wen was also thinking about whether to start teaching his junior sister and brother the Purple Mist Technique.

  He didn't intentionally hide it from them, but rather because he hadn't taught them before. Firstly, he needed to ensure that he was the first to cultivate it and have an advantage, so that he could say that he created it himself. Secondly, at that time, neither Ning Yuxue nor Xu Xian had reached the standard required for cultivating the Purple Mist Skill.

  But now, after several months of continuous hard work and practice, as well as the nourishment of the snake gall, both of their internal skills have made great progress. At this time, practicing the Purple Mist Skill, in terms of skill level, has already met the requirements.

  Just out of some considerations, Ye Wen always felt that if a school's kung fu was too single-minded, it might not be conducive to long-term development.

  After all, everyone's qualifications are different, and what suits Xu Xian may not suit Ning Ruxue. Perhaps the kung fu that Ye Wen can cultivate to the top or even achieve great success, Xu Xian may only be able to practice at the entry level.

  For example, some of the moves in the current Shu Shan School include: Ning Ruxue's Tianluo Dihuo, which Xujian has practiced and is quite good at. With his original lightness skills being excellent, the route also matches the Tianluo Dihuo move, so he made rapid progress in his practice. As for Ye Wen, after trying it out, she wasn't very good at it, and only managed to get started because of her deep foundation in internal energy.

  Now Ye Wen's best palm technique, Mian Zhang, is something that neither Ning Ruxue nor Xu Xian can master. Although the two of them have practiced the moves until they are extremely familiar with them, whenever they use it, it always ends up being different - Ning Ruxue would unconsciously start to veer towards the Tian Luo Di Wang style, while Xu Xian would simply end up turning it into a set of sword moves. There were several times when Ye Wen was exchanging moves with Xu Xian that if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have been stabbed by his own junior brother using his fingers as a substitute for a sword.

  The differences in qualifications among the few people are revealed in these sets of martial arts, let alone the more exquisite and complex internal skills. Ye Wentian was not sure if what suited him would suit the two of them.

  Although Ye Wen only had one Purple Mist Secret Manual in his hand, after all, he still had the ring that could summon the manual as a reliance. Even if there wasn't a suitable one for the time being, he could slowly brush it out and wait until he brushed out a suitable one to give to his junior brothers and sisters.

  Moreover, at present he has already disintegrated a large part of the orthodox school's power, and on Mount Shu there seems to be no more forces that can contend with him. He seems to have enough time to slowly "grind" through the secret books, but these past few days he always feels like his heart is not at peace, as if something is about to happen.

  Even if Ning Ruxue and Xu Xian went out for a circle every day and returned safely, the news they brought back was mostly favorable to him, Shu Shan Sect.

  For example, those landlords, although most of them were unwilling to accept the Shu Shan Sect, an unfamiliar sect replacing Zhengquanmen as their guards, they also expressed their willingness to directly compensate with silver to redeem the contract. These landlords also knew that people who could make Zhengquanmen suffer were not easy to mess with, so it's better to spend money to avoid disaster and also form a good relationship!

  According to Ye Wen's hint, the breach of contract gold and silver were not collected much, just a symbolic meaning, after all, it is convenient for others and also convenient for oneself. After Shu Shan Pai's power increased later, they would have to deal with these landlords and gentry again, so it's better to take a step back now and meet again in the future.

  Among them, there was a large landlord who was willing to continue performing the contract. Ye Wen also directly dispatched two outer door disciples to garrison and required these two people to return after a month to exchange with fellow disciples, and then let other disciples do this work.

  As for those who are unwilling to fulfill the contract and do not want to pay, there are only one or two households, all of whom are small landlords. Ye Wen doesn't think much of these people. In his opinion, these small landlords have no long-term vision at all, and they don't even know how to advance or retreat. It's likely that before long, without Ye Wen lifting a finger, their assets will be swallowed up by others - everyone else has paid up, why should you get off scot-free? Isn't this just asking to be taken advantage of?

  Apart from this, the original Shushan Sect's base at the foot of the mountain has also been changed into a branch of the Shushan Sect, specifically responsible for receiving visitors who come to pay their respects or seek to become disciples. Xu Ping is now mainly in charge of matters there, and usually outer sect disciples take turns to guard the place.

  Xu Ping didn't need to stay there all the time, but he had to go over frequently for inspections. The reason Xu Ping didn't often stay there was that Ye Wen was planning to take him in as an inner disciple, and when they last met, he had already vaguely revealed this intention. At the time, Xu Ping had shown a bit of excitement, after all, entering the inner sect and becoming a direct disciple of the sect leader was a status that couldn't be compared to his current outer sect disciple identity. The difference in status aside, being able to learn even more profound martial arts was every martial artist's dream.

  It's good that he knew the master valued himself and had more work to entrust him with. Only by doing well would he be even more appreciated, so he quickly calmed down and continued to listen to Ye Wen's arrangements for him. Finally, it was revealed that if nothing unexpected happened, the day before or after New Year's Day would be his formal apprenticeship into the inner sect.

  After finishing up this side and receiving the Zhengquan Industry, Ye Wen can finally reconsider his junior brothers' and sisters' internal skills. At the same time, with Han Chi's help, he has also healed his meridian injuries in these days, and running true energy no longer hurts, but since the injury has just recovered, he doesn't dare to do some too intense things.

  Every day, apart from helping Liu Qingfeng to adjust his meridians, he was slowly recovering from his injuries. At the same time, because his meridians had become more resilient, he could continue to improve his cultivation of Zixia Gong.

  Before he knew it, ten days had passed and Ye Wen felt that his body had recovered. He cast his gaze once again at the ring on his right index finger. The mysterious ring had been quiet for some time now.

  Actually, Ye Wen had thought of the ring when he wanted to create a set of internal skills for his junior brothers and sisters, but at that time he was injured and didn't dare to use his true energy so recklessly, so in the end he could only endure it. Now that his injuries have recovered, he naturally doesn't plan on delaying any further. He immediately started circulating his internal energy, wanting to summon a good internal skill.

  Of course, what he can summon in the end is not under his control at all. His only hope is to be able to come up with something reliable, even if it's not internal power, as long as it can be used.

  Unfortunately, this ring is not controlled by Ye Wen's thoughts at all, and it also has no interest in Ye Wen's prayers, so it didn't even go to listen to what Ye Wen hoped for!

  When a book that seemed to be a martial arts secret manual appeared in Ye Wen's hands, he looked at the cover with excitement and trepidation. After seeing what was written on it clearly, he almost didn't catch his breath and fainted!

  "Awesome! Can it be even more awesome?"

  With tears in his eyes, Ye Wen's right hand trembled uncontrollably as he held the book, his posture and expression so vivid that everyone could understand how tormented he was inside.

  After all, it was because of the four big characters on the cover of the book: "Seven-Colored Aura Fighting" that caused this. Ye Wen looked at the thing in his hand and really didn't know what to do.

  Ye Wen opened the book with an 'excited?' mood, then holding onto that little bit of expectation, kept telling himself: "Let's take a look first, maybe it'll be unexpectedly good!"

  Unfortunately, after he finished reading this book that was not thin but also absolutely not thick, the hope in his heart completely dissipated. This seven-colored aura was indeed the one he knew, and its power was truly enviable to everyone, but the cultivation requirements inside made Ye Wen feel knotted and painful.

  According to the introduction of the book, Ye Wen is just suitable for cultivating the contents of this book, and because some methods are extremely similar, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to cultivate - at least this point is much better than that crappy Lion's Roar Gun. Ye Wen thought to himself.

  However, there is a problem. If Ye Wen cultivates this Seven-Colored Divine Energy, then the internal strength he has cultivated so far and that one strand of Purple Mist True Energy that he had finally managed to accumulate will all disappear. Or rather, they will be directly transformed away. At the same time, he will never again be able to cultivate any other internal strength. For his entire life, he can only revolve around this domain.

  In fact, the practice of Qī Sè Dòu Qì is not complicated. It's just to mobilize all the energy inside the body and convert it into Dòu Qì, storing it in the Dan Tian. Due to this characteristic, almost any energy that appears in the practitioner's body will be assimilated by the Dòu Qì, so naturally they cannot practice other Gong Fa.

  The increase in the power of the seven-colored aura is entirely an increase in the intensity of the aura, and the way it operates has not changed. It can be said that as long as you enter the door, you don't need to worry about the cultivation method for later, the only trouble in front of you is how to improve the intensity of the aura.

  Although the power of the seven-colored divine aura at its peak is exciting, the seven-colored divine aura has a huge side effect - not to mention that the setting of practicing black divine aura and becoming an idiot is disgusting. The requirement for advancing to fantasy divine aura is also abnormal, he can't cultivate himself while cultivating another black divine aura master, and finally use it to kill him?

  In short, with so many problems, even if the power is strong, Ye Wen must be cautious. Moreover, it's hard to evaluate the true power of this thing. If after dispersing his cultivation and practicing again, his abilities are not as good as his current Purple Mist Cultivation, then he won't even have time to regret it - after cultivating the Seven-Colored Battle Qi, unless you disperse all your powers, you will never be able to get rid of it, no matter what cultivation method you practice, the battle qi in your body will absorb and transform it.

  In other words, if Ye Wen goes to cultivate the Seven-Colored Battle Aura but ends up with unsatisfactory results, he can only abolish his martial arts and start all over again - he doesn't have that much time to be messing around like this.

  What's more important is that Ye Wen sensed something from this Seven-Colored Aura Ring. That is, the range of things that this ring can summon is really too broad, almost to the point where as long as you can provide enough powerful internal energy, then anything that meets this intensity standard he can bring out for you, even some mysterious and illogical secret skills are no exception. Of course, whether or not you can successfully cultivate this ring is not its concern.

  And now that I can summon the Seven-Colored Divine Qi, what about when my strength becomes even more formidable in the future? Will I be able to summon an even more perverted and powerful technique?

  "Turtle-style Qigong? Spiritual Light Wave Fist? Hun Tian Precious Mirror? It seems it's not entirely impossible!"

  If he could really get those powerful transformations, which were almost like destroying the sky and earth, then wouldn't Ye Wen's current cultivation of the problematic Seven-Colored Battle Aura be a waste of time?

  "Hmm! Better not practice!"

  He put the colorful aura aside and Ye Wen started to worry again! He had decided not to practice anymore, but how should he deal with this thing? Burn it? It seemed too wasteful!

  "Never mind, let's keep it! Who knows when it might come in handy?!" He flipped through the contents of the book again, a habit of Ye Wen's. Every time a new secret manual was summoned, he would carefully read through it once. And relying on his exceptional memory after crossing over, basically after this one time, he could remember the general idea.

  Then he opened the dark grid and put away the book, after doing all this, Ye Wen walked into the yard to clear his mind.

  At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the Shu Shan Sect was also sparse in population. When walking to some remote places, it was inevitable that they would appear a bit gloomy. However, Ye Wen didn't care; after all, it was his own home that he had built with his own hands, so where would he feel afraid?

  After circling around, Ye Wen suddenly stopped in front of a house, then slightly curved the corner of his mouth and sneered: "You came to visit at midnight, what's your noble business?"

  The words were spoken, but the night wind rustled on, with no response whatsoever.

  "Haha! It seems you're quite confident in your own agility. Are you saying I'm trying to deceive you?"

  The words fell, and still no one responded. At this time, if there was someone else nearby, they might have thought that Ye Wen was talking to himself. However, in the darkness, there was a person who secretly broke out in cold sweat, constantly telling himself in his heart: "It's impossible, he can't discover me! A little-known small sect master, how could he possibly discover me?"

  Seeing no response, Ye Wen became somewhat impatient: "It seems that you want me to invite myself!" As soon as he finished speaking, without seeing any movement on his body, a purple aura flashed on his face, and the cuff of his sleeve shook. A blue shirt sleeve was swung out, and a yellow-orange object flew towards the house, covering it from head to toe. After a burst of crackling sounds, a black shadow leapt out of the darkness, followed by several figures dashing straight for the main gate.
