Chapter 346: Chapter 274: Forbidden Candle Sect, Jie Xumiao Clothing, Lady in Filthy Garb, Beauty and Her Beloved (2)

"Furthermore, one can conceal Qi hidden within the Turbid Garment, counterattacking with a shock, with endless subtle use. Our Nangong Family possesses a ’Robe Fist Technique,’ heavily relying on ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing.’ If one acquires the Pure Gang Qi Clothing and practices the Robe Fist Technique, it will surely be extremely formidable."

Her beautiful eyes were faintly discernible. The Robe Fist Technique requires the Martial Artist to wear a specially made robe, with both fists enveloped beneath the sleeves. When striking, it does not harm with fists or kicks, but rather with the killing power of the sleeves. Inner Qi flows between the robes, gently caressing the sleeves, yet hides thousands of punches and myriad strength.

Imagine just a bit... If one dons the invisible ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing’ and then displays the Robe Fist Technique. The invisible sleeves might shock, caress, pat, or cover... able to accomplish many unimaginable feats. Extracting objects from afar, diversionary tactics, invisible enemy injuries, adept in both offense and defense, difficult to guard against.

Moreover, the ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing’ can conceal Qi within the garment. In actual combat, it adds endless subtle variations.

Li Xian asked, "What kind of Turbid Garment are you?" Nangong Liuli replied, "I received heaven’s gift, luckily ’Turbid Textile Garment.’ Although I know the Robe Fist Technique, I find it hard to showcase Uncle Gong’s might. Truly I am unworthy of the nurture."

She was truly humble in saying this. Martial Arts Second Realm, characterized by four features. Turbid Garment is determined by fate, entirely dependent on one’s destiny. Her ’Turbid Textile Garment’ is already extraordinary, among the best in her peer group. Coupled with profound research into Ethereal Immortal Sound, her ability is indeed strong.

Li Xian silently acknowledged the immense power of the ’Nangong Family.’ Listening to Nangong Liuli’s words, the clan has individuals strong in ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing.’ Depending on this characteristic, they have mastered impressive martial arts.

Li Xian asked, "And then?" Nangong Liuli let out an exclamation, shaken left and right. Her long hair fluttered with each sway of the ship, her toes unavoidably tense, anxious, and helpless.

After a fair amount of time swaying. Nangong Liuli calmed her breathing, and said, "The next kind of Turbid Garment is extremely rare. Known as ’Golden Jade Garment,’ this type of Turbid Garment is already an upper quality in the middle realm."

"Those blessed with this garment fear not swords nor blades, can withstand the assault of raging fire. Their Qi mechanism does not leak nor reveal, and after death, the corpse does not decay!"

"To wear this Turbid Garment is truly precious beyond measure. It is rumored that the Qi mechanism does not leak after death. If practicing certain martial arts, one might live again after dying, live a second lifetime. I have only heard this, difficult to know its truth."

Li Xian heard about "living again after dying," silently pondering the mysterious nature of martial arts, curiously asked, "Does the Nangong Family have such an individual?"

Nangong Liuli kept silent, as this matter concerned family secrets and could not be lightly disclosed.

Li Xian smiled, letting it be, and asked again, "The middle realm is already so formidable, would not the upper realm Turbid Garment be ascendant to the heavens?"

Nangong Liuli said, "Those who attain the upper realm Turbid Garment are by no means ordinary individuals. The upper realm Turbid Garment is extremely rare, and indeed has no distinction between strong and weak; it entirely depends on how it is utilized. The seventh type of Turbid Garment, known as..."

Suddenly a voice came, "Known as ’Eternal Dragon Garment’!"

In the narrow ship’s passage, Ye Cheng walked slowly. His demeanor was elegant, resembling more a scholar than a Flower Thief.

Nangong Liuli turned to look, but because the cell was so narrow, her vision was limited. She heard footsteps but could not see the person. Knowing Ye Cheng was coming, she could not help but furrow her brow.

Li Xian raised his gaze, and bowed, saying, "Elder Ye, why have you come? I was bored, thus chatting with this lady. If I have violated any regulations, I will immediately seal her mouth."

Ye Cheng lightly patted Li Xian’s shoulder. He said, "You have silenced her all the way, let her speak is no matter."

It turns out...

Li Xian and Nangong Liuli’s conversation passed through the cell’s gap into Ye Cheng’s ear.

He overheard Li Xian and Nangong Liuli discussing the "Turbid Garment," and thought, Bian Qiaoqiao perished to the belly of the fish, and Nangong Liuli was her close friend, her mental state surely unstable. If brought into the "Water Altar," mentally chaotic and mad, it would be greatly troublesome. Thus he personally came to converse and observe Nangong Liuli’s mental state.

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Miss Liuli, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

Nangong Liuli coldly replied, "Absolutely fine, food prepared at command, how could I not be well?"

Ye Cheng heard Nangong Liuli’s sharp words, still able to retort subtly, his suppressed anger hard to hide. Her mental state was lively to the extreme and he could not help a slight joy.

Casual interest arose, Ye Cheng asked, "Were you discussing ’Turbid Garment’ just now?"

Li Xian said, "Yes. As a disciple, I am curious, thus I inquire."

Ye Cheng curiously asked, "You inquire about Turbid Garment characteristics, at least a Food Essence accomplishment. You mentioned you are from an independent background, where did this Food Essence accomplishment come from?"

Li Xian pondered, "The Flower Cage Sect was besieged by enemies, disciples suffered heavy casualties. Externally proclaiming ’education without discrimination,’ but in reality drawing people into the fold, together on a pirate ship. Past entries and origins are not often pursued." Then he said, "I had a fortuitous encounter, consumed an Essence Treasure."

Ye Cheng gave a glance, neither fully believing nor disbelieving, but completely indifferent.

He said, "Among young talents, there are indeed common themes. Had I known Miss Liuli was bored, I would have sent someone to chat with you to alleviate the fatigue."

"Ah yes, you were talking about ’Eternal Dragon Garment.’ If you don’t mind, please continue."

Nangong Liuli frowned, unwilling to say more, remained silent for a moment. Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Miss Liuli, please continue."

Nangong Liuli furrowed her brow deeply, thinking her hands and feet were immobile, she was the fish to the knife. She could only bear her humiliation, continue and said, "The so-called ’Eternal Dragon Garment’ is the only one to form a physical entity, and is passed down through generations as a Turbid Garment. It has a dragon crown, tassels, dragon garment, dragon shoes... many parts. Only the most noble individuals, the contemporary emperors, can wear the ’Eternal Dragon Garment,’ displaying majesty, commanding heaven and earth."

"The empire’s emperor, during new and old transitions, changes ’Eternal Dragon Garment,’ hands over the dynasty’s authority."

Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly. The territories of the Great Wu Dynasty span vast lands, the populace looking up, difficult to see even a fraction of the heavenly palace. Uncertain who becomes monarch and who is minister. Amid secret currents, conflicts of interest... Only through high lineage, steeped in such matters, can one speak with eloquence.
