Moreover, this is different from the enhancement brought about by tempering the body and practicing physical strength.

The Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture emphasizes endurance and longevity. It does not seek instant benefits, nor does it rush for quick advancement. Through long-term cultivation, this "natural and rightful" growth is bound to be formidable. Much like a three-year-old child can never be a match for a ten-year-old.

Li Xian suddenly thought, "This scripture emphasizes nature, unrestricted by desires or thoughts. As the ancients said, appetite and lust are intrinsic drives which cannot be fully avoided. The explanation of lust in the scripture is quite spontaneous and natural. The ’Yang’ in the ’Gathering Yang Scripture’ has multiple meanings such as consolidating yang, strengthening yang, returning yang, and rising yang. Lv Dongzhi had many companions, it seems he deeply understood the essence of this scripture." He felt the Yang Qi was abundant, enhancing his ability to please his wife, increasing by several folds.

The Finger-Flashing Golden Light does not possess the expansive and profound nature of the Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture, which is divided into the five levels: Five Viscera Chapter, Bone Strengthening Chapter, Creation Chapter, Five Aura Chapter, and Lotus Step Chapter. It only has the two key areas of "Twisting Golden Light" and "Flicking Golden Light," containing the principles of golden light transformation. It is easier to cultivate, and does not require a "medicated bath," significantly reducing material consumption.

Horizontal Jade in Front, Dubhe’s Ever-changing, Breaking Jade and Shattering Gold, Fragmented Jade’s Three Moves..., Li Xian inserted his dragon spear into the ground, wielding his horizontal saber through the air, its momentum fierce like turbulent waves, suddenly transitioning into a tranquil abyss. The saber momentum exhausted millions of variations, extremely exquisite. Li Xian’s recent hard training in the Dubhe Saber Technique was terrifying in its mastery. He had just defeated Zhang Long’s Saber using barely one-tenth of his strength. As he skillfully wielded, suddenly using the saber with one hand, his left hand struck out into the air, the sound akin to gigantic rocks collapsing reverberated in the air.

The grass in front of him was pressed down, leaving a pit in the ground. The envisioned stone was not an actual object, existing intangible and without substance in his imagination, yet at this moment seemed to possess form but no substance, pushed out with the palm strike, akin to a giant stone slowly rolling forth, crafting a stone mark in its wake.

The Stone-Pushing Palm Technique focuses on ’sinking’, ’heavy’, and ’slow’. When engaging in combat with an adversary, one feels as if carrying a giant stone, causing the palm technique, body movements, and actions to be slower by several steps. Though the palm strike is successfully executed, its power is overwhelming and hard to resist, it is difficult to hit the opponent. Often losing the initiative. Li Xian combined the ever-changing momentum of the Dubhe Saber Technique with the Stone-Pushing Palm Technique. Though both are basic martial arts, they form a distinctive style.

After finishing a set of saber and palm techniques, the residual gusts still swirled around him. Li Xian thought to himself, "I have practiced three martial arts to perfection. According to the rules of the Gold Appraisal Guard, I can exchange for unique martial arts. Recently, I have paid secret attention to Lei Chong. Every time he looks at me, there is a cruel jealousy hidden in his eyes, I’m afraid he intends to harm me. When exchanging martial arts, I must guard against this villain."

Li Xian practiced until midnight, deep into the night, though his energy was abundant, it was already enough. He exhaled clear air, simply purifying the impurities, sitting on the wooden platform beside.

Quietly digesting the essence within his body.

[Bone Shaping and Embryo]

[Skill Level: 24/100]

Li Xian drank essence soup daily, supplemented by essence meat. Digestion was swift, and progress was noticeable. His bones cooled, the essence of heaven and earth integrated into his body, transforming bone structure.

The next day. Li Xian’s victory with the saber became widely known. After Zhang Long’s Saber was defeated, he was convinced and did not dare to slander, instead, he praised Li Xian extensively, extending an invitation to Li Xian to visit the Golden Flood Dragon Island.

On this day, his reputation brewed and spread further. The phrase "Handsome Hair, Ugly Face" first spread throughout Renhuang Square’s streets because Li Xian undertook numerous "Tier One Tasks," making him well-known among local folks.

This intangible accumulation helped spur the wave of his reputation. If allowed to develop naturally, it wouldn’t cause fervor. Instead, Lei Chong spread "Li Xian’s face is ugly" relentlessly. The phrase "Handsome Hair, Ugly Face" was quite attention-grabbing, more than just "Handsome Hair" or "Ugly Face," sparking more discussions.

Plus, after last night’s arena saber duel, the elegance of Li Xian’s saber style was first-class beautiful. The duel ended swiftly, but the matter was still brewing. Among those present were skilled scribes.

Some were inspired to compose poetry. Some artists drew, from memory, Li Xian’s three saber movements, circulating it among the populace. Though it was challenging to replicate even one thousandth of the essence, when others saw it, it aroused an interest in observing the saber.

Thus, the second saber duel on the second day, naturally became more lively. Now, on this day after work, the "Long Xiong Dao · Tiger Roars in the Forest · Solitary Tiger" set up a saber duel in Renhuang Square.

He heard numerous rumors, feeling apprehensive in his heart, but a swordsman must be sharper than the saber in his hand, how could he falter before the battle? Hence, the saber duel continued, waiting for Li Xian to ascend the arena. From noon onwards, countless people gathered, just to catch a glimpse of Li Xian wielding his saber.

In the evening after work, Li Xian attended the duel as promised. Solitary Tiger was naturally strong but ultimately couldn’t withstand two saber strikes. Li Xian again won effortlessly, his fame further spread. Among the Gold Appraisal Guard, for a moment, there was no one comparable. Lei Chong and Xu Shao held higher ranks, but in terms of public reputation, they could not match Li Xian.

On the third day, Li Xian faced "Wang He Dao · Zheng Dao Sect · Uncle Liang Shui" in another fervent tide. Li Xian’s saber style was extremely elegant and unique, quickly gathering admirers.

Uncle Liang Shui’s saber technique was orthodox, having watched the previous two arena duels, he was well-prepared, immediately defending with all his might. Not seeking to surpass Li Xian, only hoping to endure a few moments longer.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian’s saber technique was sophisticated, his eyesight sharp, instantly spotting the flaw, still breaking through with two saber strikes. Finished, he brushed off his clothes and left without nostalgia, leaving only the crowd to savor his demeanor.

Three consecutive days of great victories, the momentum continually stacked, though the public voiced many discussions, Li Xian was totally indifferent. He continued to take on one task daily, completing them from the fastest in one day to the slowest in two days.
