I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 109: Pretending to be cool is not vanity, but a necessity
Bai Xuan spent most of his retreat time on research.

He is different from ordinary true warriors.

Ordinary true warriors only need to break through according to the skills and teachings of the previous generation, but he has to consider a lot more.

As an old antique who has survived all the way, his memories and heritage are a huge treasure trove. Although true cultivation and true martial arts are different routes, they are not completely without similarities.

It is impossible for Bai Xuan to just follow the procedures to the end.

Even with this Mingyue magic skill, he planned to deduce and modify it.

The best exercises have never been obtained. He needs to improve a new set of exercises that are more suitable for the physique of Chinese babies.

Frost Jade Art, also known as Bright Moon Magic Art, exists as the cornerstone of the royal family, but in fact, it originated from an inconspicuous martial art. It was finally improved by the founding emperor of Southern Chu and perfected to the heavenly level, becoming a "magic art" that can be included in historical records.

The Moonlight Divine Art focuses on inner cultivation and mental cultivation. Its foundation is the rich true energy and the pure and calm state of mind. Because of this, it has never been paired with a separate sword move. Although any martial arts can be adapted to swordsmanship, swordsmanship is only a means of killing the enemy for martial arts.

For example, the power is equivalent to the host, and the screen is equivalent to the external power. No matter whether the brand is Dell, Samsung or Alienware, it will not affect the operation of the host.

What Bai Xuan plans to do is to integrate the host and the screen together and turn it into a smart phone.

This makes swordsmanship and martial arts indistinguishable from each other.

Both are controlling the sword, but the difference between controlling the sword with Qi and controlling the sword with spirit is as vast as heaven and earth. The former and the latter are not at the same level of difficulty... If the former is to let LPL win the championship, then the latter is to let the LPL all-Chinese team win the championship. There are only a few words difference, but the latter has not been done in more than ten years.

The integration of swordsmanship, sword intent, techniques, and body skills is not achieved overnight.

The core of the Mingyue Divine Art itself lies in widening the meridians and opening up the Qi Sea... Its true Qi capacity is extremely high, more than ten times that of ordinary exercises, so the sedimentation period is very long.

In the body-building realm, a large amount of natural resources and treasures are needed to lay a solid foundation for the body.

At this time, Bai Xuan encountered a problem.

Because he had already completed body tempering.

With one strike of the sword, Fuyao tempered his body with the sword energy, completing his acquired sword body, and was naturally fearless of any sword energy.

At this time, will repeating the casting strengthen it or will it have a covering effect?

If it is covered... that is the result of burning ten years of life. Is it a bit wrong to just cover it like this?
Because he was unsure, he could only start with one part...that is, his left hand.

For martial artists, legs are more important than hands.

If you lose an arm, you might still be able to become a one-armed hero, but if you lose a leg, you basically can only go to Ximu Town to be a guard.

Bai Xuan felt that even if he lost both arms, it would not affect his ability to draw his sword. Compared to his left hand, his right hand, which was his dominant hand, was definitely more important, so he chose his left hand as the pilot for his body forging.

The first stage is to reshape the body, strengthen the muscles, skin membranes and bones. The Mingyue Magic Art will also strengthen the meridians, widen them and solidify them.

There are actually quite a few ways to widen the meridians in the martial arts world, but blindly opening up the meridians is not necessarily a good thing.

If your own talent is limited, it is like a stream. Even if it is widened into a river, its total water flow is limited. Instead, it will lead to the problem of increased Qi burst but decreased endurance... Others can last ten minutes, but you can only last two minutes. No matter how strong your explosive power is, how many postures you have, how fast your speed is, and how high your frequency is, it is still only two minutes in the end.

About an hour later.

Bai Xuan tore off a layer of dead skin on his left arm and looked at the new left hand, which was obviously whiter than the original body.

"The first level of body forging has no effect on the acquired sword body."

After the pilot is over, you can retreat with peace of mind and start expanding to your whole body.

In about two days, with the help of krypton gold medicine, he successfully completed the first level of body forging, and his internal strength also climbed to the peak of the first level of Mingyue.

This is the time for a breakthrough.

The first three levels of the Tower of Ascension can be solved by spending money. Bai Xuan never worries about an unstable foundation. He will rush forward without hesitation if he can.

When he broke through to the second level of body forging, he felt a sense of coolness.

If you let go of your perception, you can see that there seems to be a faint bright moon behind you.

Is this... a Dharma image?
Bai Xuan was a little surprised that his Dharma image was not a sword, but a bright moon?

The Dharma Image is a unique ability possessed by true warriors. Anyone who can understand their true heart can awaken the Dharma Image.

Many half-sects in the Star-Picking Realm also do not have Dharma images because they have not realized their true nature.

In Bai Xuan's cognition, the closest thing to the Dharma image is probably the "innate magical power", that is, the special magical power that true practitioners are born with, which others cannot possess, such as Juan Zhihuan's Sun and Moon Divine Pupils; the innate sword body of the third disciple; and the nine heads and nine lives of the Jiuyuan Demon Saint.

What is the use of this bright moon image?
Bai Xuan stretched out his hand and touched the bright moon. When he touched it, ripples appeared in the moonlight.

"This is not Mingyue."

"This is... the moon in the water."

He was stunned: "What the hell, a mirage?"

He grabbed Jiang Chengzi beside him and held it up: "Shatter it, the mirror flower and the water moon!"

Jiang Chengzi: I fight Aizen?

It was a rare occasion when Bai Xuan felt the effects of the second-year syndrome. He entertained himself for a while, staring at the bright moon, unable to fully understand for a moment.

It is said that only by realizing the original mind can one awaken the Dharma image. Then why does he still have the Dharma image if he has not realized it?
Is it because he is kind?

Bai Xuan thought of the Dark Moon Realm Gate, but after a careful comparison, he found that it was not like... The characteristic of the Dark Moon lies in its profound nature.

This round of moon in the water is too bright.

"The Moon in the Water...it possesses both the attributes of a bright moon and an illusion. How can it be used? Can it hypnotize people?"

He spread out his palms, trying to sense the specific usage of the magic image.

No answer was received.

It is said that most people awaken their Dharma images after reaching the level of Zhixuan. Some people awaken their Dharma images in advance but are unable to control that power at all.

A Dharma image that is too powerful will be like a super power that can easily get out of control and bring disaster.

"Forget it, just treat you as a light bulb that comes at your beck and call."

Bai Xuan snapped his fingers and the magic image disappeared.

He snapped his fingers again, and the Dharma image emerged.

It's like a backlight or a merit wheel.

I guess shouting it out during a fight can add a bit of momentum and style.

Turtle, that's quite useful. Showing off is a basic need in life. ...

"Ascend to the Heavenly Tower, Second Heaven."

"Bright Moon Skill, Second Level."

A week had passed when Bai Xuan ended his retreat.

In just one week, he reached the middle stage of the second heaven.

The reason why he didn't rush to the later stage in one breath was because his internal organs were temporarily unable to bear the Frost Sky Qi and the sword intent introduced by Bai Xuan at the same time.

He tried to use the Frost Sky Qi as the basic material, just like forging iron, using his body as a furnace and his divine will as a hammer, to roughly forge it into Frost Sky Sword Qi.

In conclusion, it was not a failure, but it was not a success either.

It’s not that the material is bad, nor that the forging hammer is bad, but that the furnace of the body can no longer withstand it.

The experimental field was right in his internal organs. He almost exploded one of his kidneys by over-exerting the fire, and the sword energy almost pierced through three inches below his navel.

It then took two days to repair the lacerations and scars on the internal organs.

So, in fact, it only took him five days to achieve the realm of the second heaven.

For this achievement, I only see hard work and sweat!
Also, the monetary cost is a tiny bit.

"A precious medicinal herb is worth a fortune. Without it, my cultivation speed won't keep up."

"Relying on one's own perseverance to slowly temper one's muscles, bones, and flesh is a very painful process, and this stage is also the limit. The internal organs must be nourished by precious medicines. Directly infusing spiritual energy into tempering will cause the body to explode."

"Poor in literature, but rich in martial arts. No wonder so many people are scrambling to get on the Crouching Dragon List. Being on the list will bring you fame and you can trade your reputation for benefits."

Bai Xuan glanced around the room. In just seven days, most of the precious medicine had been used up. There wasn't much left. He could only find time another day to go to the palace to collect some... or borrow some.

After leaving customs, I took a shower and changed my clothes.

When I arrived at the front hall, I happened to meet an acquaintance.

Li Qian, the owner of Yanbo Tower, his eyes lit up: "Have you reached the second level of body casting?"

"Can you see this?"

"Haha, you can't hide your level in the Body Forging Realm. It's just a matter of how many levels you have. After reaching the Fingering Mystery Realm and having the vision to penetrate the subtlety, you can hide your level." Li Qian said with a smile, "Your time to come out of seclusion is just right. Come with me."

"where?"

"Juyi Pavilion, today is the quarterly collective meeting of Juyi Pavilion. Everyone from the building masters to the hall masters and incense masters must attend." Li Qian said seriously, "It's time to introduce yourself to the people of Juyi Pavilion."

"Okay." Bai Xuan readily agreed.

Sooner or later, I will have to take up this position in Juyi Pavilion.

Ning Jianshuang is the Duke of Ning, so the Jiang family's affairs should be put aside, and it is reasonable to hand over the position of the Young Master of Juyi Pavilion to Bai Xuan.

This doesn't mean that Bai Xuan needs to participate in management or be responsible for business... In fact, these matters are still left to the owners of all parties and Ning Jianshuang to coordinate and plan.

Just with Bai Xuan's title as the top of the Wolong list, there is a backbone in the building, and all objections can be suppressed without having to focus on internal friction.

He just gave a name.

But the reputation of people in the underworld is very important.

After becoming the young leader of Juyi Pavilion, the two sides will share weal and woe.

"Where's Ning Jianshuang? Isn't she coming?"

"Well..." Li Qian was about to explain.

"I am here."

The woman's figure emerged slowly from behind the screen, her bun loosely tied up, her makeup lightly done, her demeanor elegant and sincere, her skin delicate and well-proportioned.

Bai Xuan went into seclusion right after returning. This was the first time they met after entering the Imperial City. His eyes suddenly fixed on him: "You..."

"I'm the Duke of Ning now. I just brought back my robe from the palace two days ago. It's the same style as my mother's." Ning Jianshuang turned around and asked, "Does it look good?"

People rely on clothes.

Ning Jianshuang used to be very low-key in her dressing style, but now it is different. It is as if she has let go of some prejudices and has become more confident. Her temperament comes from her heart. After taking off the cloak of self-pity, she now shows a very amazing charm... No wonder she has always been known as one of the three beauties in the capital (not including the two in the palace).

"You're a little weird." Bai Xuan said.

"What's weird?"

"It's so pretty."

Li Qian was listening from the side, and the cheesy love words made the old man feel itchy in his ears.

"You're so sweet! Let's go." Ning Jianshuang naturally took Bai Xuan's arm and said, "Isn't this normal between siblings?"

It was indeed a bit strange. Bai Xuan felt that Ning Jianshuang had changed, but he couldn't tell exactly where she had changed.

……

at the same time.

The dark side of the Six Gates, the sixth floor of the Embroidered Clothes Building.

There were several urgent messages on the desk of Zhuge Shensuan, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, accompanied by several lifelike portraits.

Thanks to the great hands of a certain time traveler, sketching, a painting technique used to outline a person's facial features, was already used during the Qin Dynasty, and the Ministry of Justice used it the most and most extensively.

There were three white paper portraits in total, spread out on the chopping board.

A young woman holding a peach blossom branch and wearing a veil over her face.

A man with long gray hair, a sword case on his back and a cloak covering his hands.

A white-haired old man riding a donkey with a picture frame on his back.

They all arrived in Beijing on the same day.

Zhuge Shensuan pressed the center of his eyebrows.

"There's trouble again."
