Make up exercises, disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 20: Golden bones are not in the eyes of the master, I will refine them into jade bones

Li Xuan didn't know that Xu Yan had already tempered the golden bones he had made up, and was coming over excitedly to tell him that he wanted to get praise and recognition.

At this moment, Li Xuan was playing with the gift Xu Yan gave him last time, a golden sword and jade wishful thinking.

The golden sword is inlaid with orbs, made entirely of gold, and is extremely valuable.

The jade Ruyi is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, and it is flawless. It looks like it is carved from the best jade. In terms of value, it is probably higher than the golden sword.

"Although this golden sword is not low in value, no matter how I look at it, I feel that the jade Ruyi is more valuable and rarer.

"Look at the texture of this jade. It's flawless and crystal clear. It feels warm and moist when you touch it in your hand... I like this jade Ruyi better than the golden sword.

“It would be great if we could get a pair together and keep them as family heirlooms.

"I've already been deceived anyway, so I don't care. Why don't you just deceive another piece of jade Ruyi?"

Li Xuan played with Yu Ruyi, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

I muttered in my heart and asked my silly apprentice to find another piece of jade Ruyi to make a pair as a family heirloom.

Just then, Xu Yan came over.

"Disciple, you came just in time."

Li Xuan pulled the golden sword aside, as if he was a little disgusted, and played with Yu Ruyi in his hand, his eyes full of love for Yu Ruyi.

"Look at this Ruyi jade, which is flawless, gentle and nourishing. As the saying goes, a gentleman likes jade, and a teacher also likes jade. It would be great if we could get a pair of these jade Ruyi."

He looked up at Xu Yan and said, "Disciple, do you understand?"

I thought to myself: Let me find another jade Ruyi for my teacher.

Xu Yan came here excitedly to tell his master that he had made a golden bone and was as good as the geniuses of ancient times.

As a result, Li Xuan was a little disgusted when he saw it, so he pulled the golden sword aside and played with Yu Ruyi in his hand.

Said in the mouth, the gentleman likes jade, and hopes that Yu Ruyi can make a pair.

Xu Yan thought to himself that next time he goes home, he will find another piece of jade for his master.

But suddenly my heart skipped a beat: "No! How could Master tell me at this time that he likes jade?"

"There must be a deeper meaning in Master's words...

"I understand, Master has high expectations for me and hopes that I can make jade bones, so I use jade as a metaphor. Compared to gold bones, Master prefers jade bones!

"But Master was afraid that I would not be able to accept the difficulty of tempering jade bones, so he used the metaphor of Yu Ruyi to remind me that if I can't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master will no longer be demanding...

"In this way, even though Master doesn't say anything, he must be disappointed in me in his heart. If I can't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master's expectations of me will also be lowered. He thinks that my understanding is not enough, and even such a simple metaphor is not enough. not understand!"

Xu Yan thought for a moment and realized that the master wanted to gather a pair of jade bones, but in fact he wanted him to continue refining bones, not to give up, not to back down, and to work hard to make jade bones.

If Li Xuan knew his brain supplements, he would definitely look confused: I just want Yu Ruyi!

After Xu Yan thought about it for a while, he thought he had understood the meaning of the master's words, and said firmly: "Master, I understand, I will definitely not let you down!"

Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile: "As long as you understand, I believe in you!"

Xu Yan was deeply moved: "Master has very high expectations for me. He hopes that I can surpass the geniuses of ancient times!"

"Gold bones don't matter, I want to make them into jade bones!"

Xu Yan did not mention the matter of his golden bones again. The master had already understood everything, and the mere golden bones could not get into the eyes of the master!

Practicing again, wanting to continue bone refining, Xu Yan found that no matter how he circulated his energy and blood, no matter how he tempered it, it would have no effect.

It seems that the golden bone has reached its limit.

It seems that there is an insurmountable chasm that blocks further improvement.

"Master said that jade bones cannot be made by talent, perseverance, or persistence. Those who can become jade bones must either have great luck, be the darling of heaven and earth, or have transcendent understanding and be able to sense the great truth..."

Xu Yan pondered: "I don't know if I have great luck, maybe I don't; the darling of heaven and earth, it's even more impossible, then there is only one way, and that is understanding...

"Master often said that emphasizing the mind and re-enlightenment is to let me think that my understanding is not bad, and to remind me of my own strengths.

"If I want to temper jade bones, I can only rely on my understanding."

After thinking about it, Xu Yan's mind once again resurfaced with the two lines of the formula "Keep your mind clear and observe me to cultivate your true intention, and your qi and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body."

"I definitely haven't fully realized it. If I can understand the core of these two exercises, will I be able to break the shackles of the golden bone and temper the jade bone?"

Xu Yan put his whole body and soul into the exercises, without any distracting thoughts in his mind, he threw away everything, and forgot both things and himself, wanting to feel the deep meaning in it.

"By the way, nourishing the true meaning, I think that if the qi and blood are stored in the bones and the bone marrow, it is the nourishing of the true meaning, but where is the 'meaning'?

"Cultivating the bone marrow is just an introduction, it does not cultivate the intention."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xu Yan's mind, and he discovered that he had made a mistake regarding the cultivation of true meaning in the technique.

I have never developed my true intention.

It's not even clear what 'meaning' is.

"Qi and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body. When I refined the gold bones, the qi and blood that circulated were really like a dragon? It was just empty, and it had no appearance. How could it be considered a dragon with no energy and blood?" What about Shanglong?"

In a daze, Xu Yan felt as if he had touched a barrier.

It only needs to break through this barrier, and one can thoroughly understand the art, break through the shackles of the golden bone, and enter the stage of the jade bone.

However, this barrier can never be broken.

He became a little distressed for a while.

"Would you like to ask Master for advice?

"No, Master has already taught it very clearly. The meaning of 'meaning' can only be comprehended by oneself, but cannot be clearly stated. I must have missed something..."

In the next three days, Xu Yan was practicing, constantly comprehending the techniques, and always wanted to understand the "true meaning", but he was often just a little short of it.

It is still impossible to break through the barrier and understand the essence of it.

Li Xuan looked at his stupid apprentice with some doubts. In the past three days, the stupid apprentice seemed to be a little distracted, and occasionally lost his mind.

"It's been so long and you haven't gained anything, so you're at a loss? Do you think you can't do it anymore?"

"I haven't gotten my jade Ruyi yet, how can I stay depressed?"

"Let me think about how to make up some mysterious words to fool him."

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

On this day, after eating, when Xu Yan was about to clean up the dishes, Li Xuan said: "Persistence is essential throughout the journey of cultivation. If you find that you have encountered a bottleneck and you have not made any progress, you can relax and let go." Thinking, to understand every plant and tree.

"To comprehend the nature of the world, to capture the hidden ideas around you, if you can suddenly realize it, the door to martial arts will be opened.

"Throughout the ages, there are many people who have made no progress in their cultivation and are stuck at the bottleneck and cannot break through. However, they break through the shackles because of a sudden enlightenment."

Li Xuan opened his eyes and told lies, tricking Xu Yan into realizing the so-called inspiration. If he could achieve enlightenment, he would be able to step into the gate of martial arts.

Since ascetic practice is not enough, then go for enlightenment.
