Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 357 - 277: Yielding to Fate, Awakening the Turbid Garment—Li Xian’s Unique Edge Emerges

Chapter 357: Chapter 277: Yielding to Fate, Awakening the Turbid Garment—Li Xian’s Unique Edge Emerges

Zhuoyi is ordained by heaven. As Li Xian absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, he sits cross-legged, his mind clear and bright. All things vanish, and only he sits alone.

Gradually, he feels a thin layer of Zhuoyi enveloping his entire body. "Zhuoyi" is an illusory thing, difficult to perceive with the naked eye. Wen Caishang’s "Jiexu Magic Garment" is like a finely crafted and delicate garment, sewn with compartments and pockets for storage.

She places items into the compartments, pockets, and sleeve pouches of the Jiexu Magic Garment, and they vanish into thin air. If she wants to retrieve them, she simply flips her hand to take them out. It is incredibly convenient and extremely powerful.

However, since it is "clothing," its storage capacity is ultimately limited. Once the compartments, pockets, and sleeve pouches are full, it becomes difficult to store anything further.

Therefore, the items stored within the Zhuoyi must be of utmost value.

Wen Caishang’s "Jiexu Magic Garment" has another remarkable feature. It is unknown to others and rarely mentioned in ancient books. Only those who possess it are aware.

The White Snake Soft Sword is originally soft and sharp, but does not have the property of extension. It is due to the Jiexu Magic Garment wrapping the sword body that it can elongate. The "magic" in "Jiexu Magic Garment" originates from the past teachings of the Candle Sect and also implies "demonic nature."

Nine types of Zhuoyi...

Li Xian suppressed his excitement: "Even if it is a tattered cloth, I need not lose heart. If it is a Middle or Upper Zhuoyi, I also need not be complacent."

He gradually calmed down, his mind clear. The Zhuoyi around him gradually became apparent, an invisible fabric wrapping his entire body.

He concentrated and looked inward. Vaguely, he glimpsed the appearance of the Zhuoyi, revealing a faint and colorless form. It obscured his entire body in a misty shroud... emanating a strong inner qi. Majestic and grand, dignified and solemn.

"Is it the Pure Qi Garment?"

Li Xian recalled Nangong Liuli’s words, the nine types of Zhuoyi with only the "Pure Qi Garment" description matching, surrounded by thick qi.

The Martial Arts Second Realm goes through a process of clarity rising and turbidity descending. Like a chaotic world being split clear and turbid. When turbid qi condenses, it seeps out of the body, circling without dispersing, gradually transforming into ’Zhuoyi.’

His face lit up with joy, thinking: "If it is truly the Pure Qi Garment... then it is truly a gift from the heavens! How rare this Qi Garment is, to obtain it by chance, is truly lucky."

Waiting until the features are fully revealed.

Li Xian stood and rose, feeling very peculiar. He concentrated at a point, the Pure Qi Garment faintly gathering, as if separated by a thin membrane. Floating dust in the air was blocked from approaching, unable to get close in the slightest.

The Pure Qi Garment... is not afraid of sword slashes or knife cuts. With the body wrapped in the invisible qi garment, the Hidden Qi Zhuoyi reveals its mysterious transformations.

Li Xian was filled with spirit, having obtained Zhuoyi, he must explore its uses. He shuddered, qi force exploded from his body, storing qi in the Zhuoyi first, then shaking it open, the ’fabric’ pushing outward, forming an invisible force that instantly shattered the bed, wooden table, and bookshelf.

The Pure Qi Garment is a fiercely vigorous garment, resistant to fists, feet, swords, and knives, yet still elegant and agile. The characteristic of "Hidden Qi Zhuoyi" can truly be said to be unmatched in the world, envying others.

"The Pure Qi Garment... its function is to shield against swords and fists, to conceal qi within the garment. Although its function is simple, if used properly, it can produce numerous extraordinary effects."

Martial artists sustain themselves by nurturing and training, accumulating vast inner qi. The use of inner qi is of utmost importance. In the past, when Wen Caishang lost all her inner qi, her strength was greatly diminished, and she encountered dangerous situations. It clearly shows that "inner qi" is the foundation of Martial Arts techniques.

The inner qi of ordinary martial artists moves smoothly within the body, but once released, it often becomes obstructed and disperses, difficult to use effectively. Only by employing Martial Arts techniques can the released inner qi still retain its power.

Those clad in "Pure Qi Garment" possess a usage of qi that surpasses others. Simply using inner qi to quake the garment can generate a force of repulsion and shock.

Li Xian continued his arduous practice, full of enthusiasm.

[Description: Features such as Ethereal Immortal Sound, Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Muddy Clothes Draping the Body have emerged...]

The fourth feature of the Martial Arts Second Realm is called "Rooting Hair," also known as "Dust Settles." It refers to the evolution of the features of the Martial Arts Second Realm, coming to a pause here. Once a martial artist sees the appearance of "Zhuoyi Draping the Body," they should soon "rooting hair."

The first strand of hair landing and taking root proves that the martial artist has stepped into the second realm, with the initial form of an inner world.

The days passed quietly.

Li Xian practiced diligently for several days, but still did not see "Rooting Hair," truly stepping into the Martial Arts Second Realm. He couldn’t help but frown slightly. He vaguely felt something different about himself.

It seemed the features had not fully revealed themselves.

...

...

The Water Altar of the Flower Cage Sect was about to host a grand event. News spread secretly, and fellow disciples who heard the rumor, all took elder ships to the Water Altar.

The rewards set were generous, three taels of merit silver, a beautiful companion, and a treasure or strange object.

In the past few days, ships continuously arrived at the shore. The island was bustling, all inns fully occupied, and nearly all Flower Cage Sect disciples with an opportunity had gathered at the Water Altar.

On the southwest side of the Peach Blossom Town, there is a Hundred Flower Gorge. Two high mountains enclose a narrow path, which is filled with blooming flowers.

Li Xian temporarily stayed at an inn, with no place to practice martial arts. He always liked to delve into secluded places to practice, slowly working on Martial Arts techniques, accumulating skill level, and gathering qi in the Qi Lake.

He found this serene place. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, sparsely visited by people, undisturbed by others.

He stepped into the flower bushes, reaching out to grab, first performing a set of "Flying Snake Hand." In fact, what Meng Han said held some truth.

Flying Snake Hand... even the name of this martial art contradicts itself. Snakes lie coiled on the ground, ready to move, stealthy and venomous. Since ancient times, martial arts related to "snakes" are all about being insidious and vicious.

However, "Flying Snake Hand," with the prefix "flying" before snake, can easily mislead people into thinking it’s a nimble and swift martial art. But it is quite the contrary.

And this is the brilliance of the martial art.

It implies that a coiled venomous snake suddenly strikes. The shock of it, catching the enemy unprepared, is imaginable. Compared to martial arts like "Lying Snake Hand," "Coiling Snake Hand," and "Venom Snake Hand," the superiority is immediately apparent.
