"Exchange fist techniques? You have the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging? You even have the Spirit Tortoise's Breath? You should know that these two fist techniques are something that countless sects and martial arts clans in the world want to obtain. It's so rare that it's hard to obtain them even with money. "When Murong Yan heard Hong Yi's request to exchange fist techniques, she couldn't help but be startled as she looked at Hong Yi.
"Don't tell me that Xuantian Hall also has these two martial arts and we don't have to exchange them?" Hong Yi smiled.
"Not really. Xuantian Hall has missions. Every time a disciple goes out on a journey, they must make a copy of a martial art they learn and hand it to the elders. The council of elders will appraise the value of the copy and reward them accordingly. As for the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging and the Spirit Tortoise's Breath, they're both top-notch martial arts and very valuable. The council of elders has missions as well. If you bring them back, you'll be rewarded handsomely. "
Murong Yan's eyes glinted.
"What kind of reward? Tell me about it. "Hong Yi's interest was piqued as well.
"A Blade of Meng forged from Heaven Ladder Steel, an Ironwood Blackbone Divine Bow, a Dark-blooded Horse, and a set of White Ox Leather Armor. In three months, you'll be able to read and copy all the books in Xuantian Hall's library," Murong Yan said with a rather excited expression.
"That's really generous." Hearing Murong Yan's words, Hong Yi knew that she would definitely agree.
The Blade of Meng of the Empire of Yun Meng was seven feet long and four fingers wide, extremely sharp. It was a saber for cavalrymen. When charging, it could cut the enemy soldiers and horses in half, not to mention the fact that this saber was made of steel with the grain of Heaven Ladder. Although Yun Meng didn't produce the steel with the grain of Heaven Ladder, Chara and other desert countries all had to pay tribute to this vast empire on the grassland for peace. Moreover, Yun Meng's bladesmith was famous all over the world. In the hands of a bladesmith master like Yun Meng, even an ordinary piece of steel could be sharpened by a series of forging methods, such as carburizing, blowing, and so on.
The value of this saber was equal to the value of Hong Yi's "Shark-slaying" sword, or even higher. It was something that all martial artists dreamed of.
"But you don't have a reward from the sect. Why do you want to exchange punching skills? People like us who practice Taoist magic arts should focus on cultivating the spirit. If the spirit becomes a ghost immortal, even if the body decays, we can be reincarnated. As for the realm of martial arts, even if we reach the level of Wu Sheng and become a Human Immortal, we can only live for 150 to 60 years at most, not more than 200 years. Unless we reach the Peerless Realm of Human Immortals, we can take another step to become one with the heaven, become transcendental, and shatter the vacuum. But since ancient times, Human Immortals are rarely seen, let alone shatter the vacuum after reaching the Peerless Realm of Human Immortals. Those who take the road of martial arts transcendence are those who take the road in desperation. "Murong Yan's face was solemn.
"The way of martial arts is difficult, and the way of immortality is not much better. Since ancient times, the Immortals who have passed the Thunder Tribulation and become Yang Spirit only exist in legends. It's a difficult road to walk. " Hong Yi recalled the power of the thunder in spring and the spirit immediately scattered. He also understood that the road of immortality was even more difficult.
"Forget it, I'm taking advantage of you in this exchange. I hate taking advantage of others the most. I'll give you half of the reward from Xuantian Hall. You have the Shark-slaying Sword and the Chasing Lightning Horse, and I'll give you the Ironwood Black Bone Bow and the White Ox Leather Armor. As for entering our Xuantian Hall to read books, that's out of the question. You're an outsider. "Murong Yan said generously.
"You're generous." Hong Yi knew that Murong Yan was a miser. She was generous because of the blood-patterned steel needle in her hand.
However, he could use Yun Meng's Ironwood Black Bone Bow. This was a special bow that could only be made by master archery masters. It was not produced in Da Qian. Even a big bow shop like "Guanlou" had to reserve it in advance. Moreover, the price was very high, so it was not worth it to buy it.
This bow was made from ironwood, black bone, copper scale fish glue, and python tendon. It was as strong as steel and could be used for a long time. It could be shot up to five hundred steps, but it also required four stones of strength. Only a top martial master could pull it up. However, Hong Yi had now grasped the Dao of Yin and Yang. He had gotten rid of all the weakness in his body. He was gifted. Like Shen Tiezhu, even at the Martial Warrior level, he could pull a bow that only martial masters could use.
The bow he used now was the Ironwood White Ox Bow. Although it was also a strong bow, it could only shoot up to two hundred steps. Gradually, it would not be enough.
"Alright, let's exchange." Murong Yan nodded.
…
"The Snake-like Breathing Technique focuses on urgency and speed. Breathing is like shooting an arrow! One breath at a time, like a string of pearls. You can't stop. That's why it's called breathing technique. There are a total of eighteen postures. However, this breathing technique is very intense. If you don't practice it properly, you'll harm your internal organs. That's why before you practice it, you have to use medicine to nourish your internal organs every three days. You can't rush for quick success. It's best if you practice it once a day for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"The Spirit Turtle's Breathing Technique is the exact opposite of the Snake-like Breathing Technique. It focuses on being limitless, like a hand, like nothing. The breathing technique protects the umbilical cord and allows you to enter an ethereal state."
For three whole days, Hong Yi and Murong Yan exchanged fist techniques.
After two days, he finally memorized all the details of the Snake-like Breathing Technique. At the same time, Murong Yan drew various images and wrote down the mental cultivation method from memory. She wrote it down in a booklet.
As for Hong Yi, he also copied down the images and words of the Spirit Turtle's Breathing Technique and the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging. He copied them down into a secret manual and exchanged them.
"Alright! Mu The Younger's Butterfly Dance Fist Technique has already reached seventy to eighty percent mastery. The joints in her body are tough and light. She can cultivate in peace for a few more months. When she reaches Great Perfection as a Martial Master, she can start learning breathing techniques. My Spirit Turtle's Breathing Technique is not suitable for her. This Snake-like Breathing Technique is an authentic technique from Xuantian Hall.
After Hong Yi took away the secret manual that Murong Yan had copied down, he immediately passed it to Mu The Younger for her to study in secret.
"I should focus on cultivating the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging and strive to reach Great Perfection as a Martial Master. However, let me see what will happen if I cultivate the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging and the Butterfly Dance Fist together. "
That night, after Hong Yi cultivated his soul, he suddenly had an idea. After practicing the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging, he did not wait for his emotions to calm down and practiced the Butterfly Dance Fist.
As expected, the adverse effects occurred again.
Before he finished practicing the Butterfly Dance Fist, Hong Yi felt a splitting pain in his head. It was like a lump of hard flesh had grown in his head, about to burst open.
"Plop!"
His vision darkened, and he completely lost his balance. With a plop, Hong Yi collapsed to the ground, almost fainting.
The tough and violent thoughts of the Tiger Demon and the graceful thoughts of the Butterfly Dance clashed violently in his soul, damaging it.
Hong Yi visualized the Amitabha Scripture in a hurry. This time, he visualized it for two whole hours, entering a meditative state. Only then did he recover his damaged soul.
After clearing his mind, Hong Yi felt so relaxed that he felt like he could fly. His condition was even better than when he practiced the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength and the Heavenly Coiling Hands at the same time.
At the same time, Hong Yi gained a deeper understanding of the Amitabha Scripture of the Past.
"Everything in the universe can be changed. Only the past cannot be changed. My true self is as it was in the past. Regardless of the myriad of tribulations and disasters, it will not change at all. No magic ability can change what has already happened in the past, nor can it change my true self."
The soul is like the past, unchangeable, unshakable, indestructible, and irreversible.
