A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Lin Shiyin became even more curious about this disciple of the Huashan Sect. It was said that he had only been studying martial arts in the Huashan Sect for less than five months, yet his cultivation level was already considered that of a young hero in Sichuan.

"I wonder if he'll participate in this martial arts contest to find a husband? That damn guy, he won't play Connect Four with me anymore, how am I supposed to win back?"

"He seemed to have said that after resolving the case of the false accusation against the Huashan Sect, he would go back to propose marriage to Sect Leader Yue. I wonder what that Huashan Sect heiress looks like?"

A burst of laughter came from outside; the voice preceded the person: "My dear sister, I'm here! Long time no see!"

The woman was dressed in luxurious attire, her beauty exquisite. Her hair was adorned with a phoenix hairpin dangling from pearls, and she wore a red satin robe with gold embroidery. Her bright, almond-shaped eyes were captivating, and her every glance exuded a natural allure. The light pink gauze swayed gently with her steps, her slender waist swayed gracefully, and her magnificent breasts seemed to tremble with her breath, making it impossible to look away.

It was none other than Lin Xian'er, who was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world.

Lin Shiyin smiled gently, her hair styled in a simple and elegant way, with a fan-shaped hairpin made of pure white jade inserted among it. Her plump oval face was filled with a gentle smile, giving her a fresh and refined temperament, but without much coldness that kept people at a distance.

"Sister Xian'er, you've arrived?"

The two women embraced, clearly close friends with a deep bond.

Those who know best friends understand this: they're afraid their sisters won't endure hardship, yet they're also afraid their sisters will have a good life.

"I heard you're holding a martial arts contest to find a husband for my beloved Shion, so I've come to see which hero will be chosen to marry her!"

Lin Xian'er's eyes sparkled, and when she chuckled, her majestic figure trembled. Every tremor and every smile was captivating, showcasing her strengths to the fullest.

Looking at the closed door, he asked curiously, "Is Scholar Li inside?"

Lin Shiyin shook her head slightly: "No, it's Young Master Lu from the Huashan Sect in the Southern Territory. He recently became a disciple of the sect."

She then proceeded to reveal the other person's background in one go, showing absolutely no suspicion towards her best friend.

Lin Xian'er's expression turned serious upon hearing this, but she then smiled and said, "That's quite a young talent. Don't just stand here, come on, let me show you something nice. Those stinky men have been giving me things again, it's driving me crazy, so annoying."

His tone was proud, subtly displaying his charm and seeking a sense of superiority.

Unfortunately, Lin Shiyin remained unmoved. She came from a good family; her parents had died early and entrusted their inheritance to the Li family. Li Xunhuan also liked his cousin but didn't want to be branded as someone who would take advantage of someone who had no descendants. In addition, the Plum Blossom Bandit had reappeared in the martial arts world, which led to the martial arts contest to find a husband for her.

Lin Xian'er was a little annoyed. Her best friend was good in every way, but she was too indifferent, as if there was nothing that could attract her attention.

Inside the room, Lu Ming was sitting cross-legged. After taking the authentic Great Rejuvenation Pill, its effects began to take hold.

The medicinal power transformed into streams of heat that washed over his meridians, gentle yet domineering. Fortunately, cultivating the Purple Cloud Divine Skill had broadened his meridians, opening them up and allowing his internal energy to circulate automatically.

The internal energy gradually spread to some inconspicuous side meridians, widening and repairing them simultaneously. The dantian and dantian began to compress, further purifying and refining the vast internal energy.

[Upon reaching fifty years of internal strength for the first time, the entry "Return to Simplicity (Gold)" is obtained.]

[Return to Simplicity (Gold): All internal energy is halved and converted into pure internal energy, allowing the use of all martial arts techniques with doubled power.]

The previously solidified internal energy was compressed again, and even the dantian was consolidated and expanded.

The internal energy he had previously acquired was transformed into its purest form. The internal energy surged through his meridians, causing his bones to crackle and his every move to subtly trigger an explosion.

With a light step, he appeared in the plum grove with ghostly speed. He activated the Hunyuan Palm technique and unleashed a palm strike.

The massive boulder, as tall as a person, remained motionless until the next gust of cold wind blew, turning it into dust!

"Wow! Is this pure internal energy? It's incredibly powerful!"

Lu Ming withdrew his palm. If he were to encounter Ding Mian again, this palm strike would not only make the other party vomit blood, but would directly shatter him!

Just as I was about to think about the problem, someone appeared behind me.

He turned and struck out with his palm, but the newcomer extended two fingers to catch him. The moment they made contact, the other person let out a cry of surprise and quickly changed his fingers into a palm, exchanging a blow with him. He lightly tapped the snow with his feet, causing it to crack and groan.

"Lu Xiaoji, what are you doing here again? Aren't you going to see your lover?"

Lu Xiaofeng flicked his fingers and said irritably, "It was all settled a long time ago. When did your skills become so profound?"

Fortunately, he had a special skill; otherwise, that palm strike would have definitely caused serious injury. His internal energy was excessively pure, almost surpassing that of the Five Greats.

Lu Ming shook his head and rubbed his chin: "I don't know. I just ate a pill that I made myself in order to improve my skills and win the martial arts contest for marriage. But I accidentally entered a state of enlightenment."

Did I accidentally enter a state of enlightenment?

Lu Xiaofeng almost laughed in anger. He shook his fingers, which still hurt a bit: "You brat, do you even know what enlightenment is? Some people never have an enlightenment even once in their entire lives, don't you think, Lao Xiang!"

Chu Liuxiang arrived at some unknown time, with the owner of the garden standing beside him: "I've only done it twice so far."

Li Xunhuan nodded slightly: "I'll take less, just once."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression was rather unpleasant.

Lu Ming chuckled at this moment: "Could it be that there are still people who have never had an epiphany? No way, no way!"

This smug look made Lu Xiaofeng a little angry. Who was he talking to with such sarcasm?

Then, on a sudden inspiration, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "My martial arts talent is exceptionally high; I don't even need sudden enlightenment."

A man must be tough, and the only thing he's tough enough is his mouth.

Lu Ming walked over with a smile and placed his hand on his wrist: "Don't move, let me heal your wound."

This time, when he activated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, his face no longer shrouded in purple aura; instead, he exuded an ethereal, otherworldly air.

What would normally take half an hour to heal was recovered in just a quarter of an hour this time, demonstrating the terrifying power of his refined internal energy!

During this time, he also consulted these three famous protagonists and learned what pure internal energy is.

The term "profound skill" usually refers to the level of refinement. A master must possess a sharp external martial arts technique, and to further improve, internal strength is required as a foundation.

Once the cultivation technique is perfected, further cultivation will not lead to improvement, but one will gain a trace of pure internal energy.

The quantity and quality vary from person to person. The higher the quality, the greater the power of the move. The more internal energy one has, the stronger one's endurance; this is the origin of the title "Grandmaster."

Like the ancestral teachings of the Huashan School, it is based on internal strength, with techniques and swordsmanship as auxiliary methods.

Aside from talent, internal strength can only be cultivated through persistent effort; there are no shortcuts.

"It's best to avoid taking pills and the like. If you try to exchange potential for strength, you'll regret it if you can't improve in the future."

Lu Xiaofeng flicked his fingers; the pain was gone. The Zixia Divine Skill lived up to its reputation, but few of the successive leaders of the Huashan Sect had mastered it, which is why it seemed so weak.

That's the truth. All elixirs that enhance one's power come at a price. Trading the future for the present is equivalent to having no future at all.

However, pills produced by the entry do not have this restriction, only an interval period. Pills like the Great Rejuvenation Pill must be taken at least one year apart, not even a fraction less.

"Thanks, don't just stand here in the wind, come on, let's go for a drink, it's on me, Brother Li, it's on the tab!"

Li Xunhuan: ...
