Chapter 170: Perfect Disguise, Enlightenment of the Flint Pearl

"Aren't you afraid that I can't control myself? Why did you suddenly change your personality?" Geng Xuan asked curiously.

Mr. Chai said:
"I didn't give it to you before because I was worried that you would mess around with the girls and wives in the neighborhood.

You kid have already become wild in your mind and have no intention of hanging around in the neighborhood, so what should I worry about?
If you can control yourself, then do it. If you can’t, then go and cause trouble somewhere else.”

"..."

Well, the old man's words cut the good impression that Geng Xuan had suddenly felt towards him in half.

Mr. Chai continued:

"Earlier, when each of us was collecting thank-you gifts for the Giant Bear Gang leader, I hesitated whether to take out this book, "The Bedroom Chapter", but in the end I held back and only gave the "Bone Shrinking Technique" and "Disguise Technique".

It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that this "The Story of the Bedroom" is too weird.

For people with good intentions, this thing is actually of little use, and it can't even be considered icing on the cake.

But for people with evil intentions, it is easy to cause a big fuss.

I don't think that with the ability of the Giant Bear Gang leader, he would be lacking such a thing.

But if this thing leaks out from me, Changpingfang will be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

They don't dare to attack the Giant Bear Gang leader, but they will definitely be curious about whether we have any other copies in our hands."

"Did you stay?" Geng Xuan asked curiously.

Master Chai said unhappily, "Am I stupid? Of course I kept it!"

Geng Xuan nodded.

Master Chai said: “So, you can just keep this thing for yourself.

If you want to use this to build a ladder or steps in the future, it's best to find another source for it.

Try not to let people think that this stuff leaked out from Changpingfang."

Geng Xuan, who understood Mr. Chai's concerns, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention."

After waiting for a while, seeing that Master Chai had nothing more to say, Geng Xuan said softly:
"Master Chai, then I'm leaving?"

Master Chai waved his hand and said:
"Go ahead, go ahead. If you have some skills, your mind will become wild... Go ahead, go ahead."

Geng Xuan felt that Mr. Chai's last words were not only directed at him, but also at his son who was guarding a house far away in Yuanjing.

He didn't say anything more. He wrapped "The Story of the Bedroom" in silk cloth again, put it in his arms, said, "Don't stay up late, go to bed early," and left the Chai family's courtyard.

Returning all the way, just when Geng Xuan was about to push open the dilapidated gate and enter his own yard.

Suddenly, Zeng Rou called softly from behind: "Xuan Ge'er."

Geng Xuan paused and turned to look.

However, a dim oil lamp was lit in Zeng Rou and Chen Rongshan's bedroom, and the light shone through the window.

The door was gently opened, and Zeng Rou came out quietly, carrying a large bag in her arms.

She walked quickly across the courtyard, opened the gate, came to Geng Xuan, and handed him a large bag of things.

Geng Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Aunt, what is this?"

Zeng Judao:
"Didn't you just say that the bacon I made was delicious?
I packed some more for you, take one when you want to eat.

...No need to bother, they are all marinated.

After the water is boiled, simmer for 25 minutes over low heat, then you can take it out and eat it.

It’s delicious when it’s hot or cold, and it’s very convenient.”

As she spoke, she stuffed the package into Geng Xuan's arms.

"..."

Geng Xuan took a large bag of cured meat into his arms and said, "Thank you, Auntie. You are so thoughtful."

Zeng Rou said: "What are you thanking me for? It's just a small thing."

After saying that, she paused for a moment and said in a relaxed tone:

"Okay, nothing else, I'm going back."

Having said that, she didn't say anything more to Geng Xuan and turned around and went back.

Soon after she entered the room, the dim light coming through the window went out quietly.

Geng Xuan knew that Uncle Chen was actually awake at this time.

After the couple turned off the lights and went to bed, Geng Xuan entered their yard carrying a large bag of cured meat.

Before this, there was a moment when Geng Xuan wanted to give some gifts to Chen Xiaoyu, Zeng Rou, Uncle Chen, Chen Zheng, and Master Chai.

Geng Xuan would be happy if he could quietly bestow some of the good luck that could also benefit other people on them.

But there is a prerequisite for good luck to work, and that is that you must become "one of us".

But after becoming "one of us", we can share the happiness, but we must also share the difficulties.

In reality, every time a dark disaster breaks out, it is possible that they will be the breakthrough point.

Not to mention the Chen family members who are so weak, even Master Chai and even the entire Changpingfang would not be able to withstand it.

This is not a gift to them, but a disaster to them.

Therefore, this thought only flashed through Geng Xuan's mind before he suppressed it.

……

When passing through the narrow hole and entering the underground space, Geng Xuan also sealed the hole that was only wide enough for people to crawl through.

In this case, unless someone digs ten meters deep underground.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find anything unusual in this Geng family courtyard.

When he re-entered Kangleji's underground network, Geng Xuan had changed back into the appearance of "Su Ruiliang".

This time, Geng Xuan did not use his hands to assist in the disguise.

Everything was done within one or two breaths.

From changes in facial features and skin condition to subtle adjustments in body shape, everything is done silently.

The reason why he was so relaxed this time was because Geng Xuan took the opportunity to use up ninety-six points of luck and upgraded his "disguise technique", which had remained at the grandmaster level for a long time, to the realm of perfection.

With the perfect state's "disguise technique" and the perfect state's "bone shrinking technique", Geng Xuan felt as if his bones had turned into rubber with a certain elasticity.

Although it cannot be changed completely at will, it can be changed within a certain range without changing its basic structure and function.

Become longer, shorter, flatter, rounder...

If we look at a specific bone and compare it before and after the change, we may be able to find many seemingly similar shadows.

But if similar adjustments are made to the bones throughout the body, it would be enough to make a person "unrecognizable."

Even, it looks inhuman.

Compared with the changes in bones, flesh and skin, which are more ductile, tough, and changeable, change more freely.

Geng Xuan naturally understood the method of "walking on water" that answered Emperor Yuan's "question about walking on water", and what the so-called "body turning into a swimming fish and webbed feet growing out of the limbs" meant.

It doesn't mean that the person actually turns into a fish, but the outer contour of the body is adjusted and changed to make it more convenient for moving through the water.

As for the "webbed feet" on the hands and feet, they only require adjustments to the bones, muscles and skin of the limbs to make their shape more conducive to paddling.

Although he had not officially started practicing yet, Geng Xuan had already begun to have his own understanding and comprehension of the "water movement" in his heart.

"You shouldn't call it disguise, you should call it transformation." Geng Xuan couldn't help but think so in his heart.

……

The next day.

November 28th.

Geng Xuan changed the location of his practice to the river behind Wanfufang.

In fact, this river, the river behind Changpingfang, and the river that Geng Xuan used to cross the remnants of Chiwu Mountain and drift under the moon, all originate from the same water system.

Eventually, they will converge and merge into one upstream of Lvyi Garden.

According to Geng Xuan's original plan, he wanted to make a concerted effort to practice the "Iron Knee Charge" and "Iron Arm Kung Fu" skills to their limits before considering other things.

But after completing the "disguise technique" last night, the various insights that arose in his heart made Geng Xuan change his mind.

Firstly, some of these insights are helpful for understanding and mastering the "Hongbo Youshen Fa" and the "Turtle Breathing Technique".

Strike while the iron is hot, and while this feeling has not subsided, he can complete the introduction of these two skills in less time.

Secondly, the actions in Luyi Garden also reminded Geng Xuan.

With an opponent like the Jinsha Gang who is good at water battles, it would be better for me to master some water skills as soon as possible.

Otherwise, whether the enemy used the water to escape or to ambush and attack, it would be too unfriendly for him, a landlubber.

Treating others to "delicacies" such as bandao noodles or wonton noodles may be a wonderful experience.

But if someone treats you to a meal, the experience is not pleasant at all.

Geng Xuan soaked in the river for most of the day. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, three prompts appeared in his mind one after another.

[The host has understood the essence of "Hongbo Swimming Body Technique"/"Turtle Breathing Technique"/"Liguang Fenshui Thorn", and the body also meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. Consume three points/three points/two points of luck to quickly get started. ]

【whether?】

Among them, "Hongbo Youshen Fa" and "Turtle Breathing Technique" both came from the thank-you gifts from Bajiafang, and "Li Guang Fen Shui Ci" was one of the skills copied from Lvyi Garden.

Its special thing is that when fighting in water, the power it exerts is far greater than that on land.

This is a fighting technique specially created for water battles.

The first two steps consume three points of luck each.

However, the introduction to "Li Guang Fen Shui Ci" only consumed two points of luck.

A total of eight points of luck were consumed.

After completing the introduction to these three techniques, Geng Xuan did not continue to devote his time and energy to the practice of these three techniques.

He turned his attention back to the planned plan.

Around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Geng Xuan had digested and absorbed all the gains he had made from the four skills of "Iron Knee Charge", "Iron Arm Kung Fu", "Iron Eagle Claw" and "Iron Shirt" at the great perfection stage.

Without any hesitation, Geng Xuan immediately consumed forty-eight points of luck and upgraded these four skills to the next level.

All of them advanced from the Great Accomplishment Realm to the Master Realm.

——Among them, "Iron Knee Charge" and "Iron Arm Skill" consume eight points of red luck each, and "Iron Eagle Claw" and "Iron Shirt" consume sixteen points of red luck each.

After all four techniques were advanced to the master level, the differences became apparent.

After reaching the master level, "Iron Knee Charge" and "Iron Arm Kung Fu" no longer consume good luck and are signs of continued improvement.

This means that they, like the Iron Sand Palm, have reached the limits of their purpose.

The master realm is the limit of what these two techniques can achieve.

The "Iron Eagle Claw" and "Iron Shirt" also have signs that consume good luck and continue to improve.

As these four skills were gradually advanced to the master level, together with the Iron Sand Palm which had already reached the master level, and the Iron Skin Kung Fu which had reached the grandmaster level.

A natural realization emerged in Geng Xuan's mind.

He naturally realized that there was a common core among these techniques.

That "core" is not the general outline of the practice.

It is even very likely that even the people who created these techniques are not aware of it.

However, when Geng Xuan had mastered all these skills to the master level, it was natural for him to connect them together as they were all independent and self-contained.

Another change was that because of his master-level Iron Sand Palm and grandmaster-level Iron Skin Kung Fu, when he practiced the five "Iron Knee Charge" techniques, he had a stronger ability to digest and absorb than when practicing other techniques.

After his four skills including "Iron Knee Charge" were all advanced to the master's level, this digestion ability seemed to become even more terrifying.

However, this horrific digestion and absorption ability also causes even more horrific consumption on the body.

What Geng Xuan needs to do is to swallow the Essence Pill more frequently to ensure that the medicinal power in his body is always full.

Just two hours after these four skills were advanced to the master level, Geng Xuan also digested and absorbed all the gains of the "Mountain-Smashing and Steel-Breaking Fist" at the great perfection level, and completely internalized it into his own understanding and mastery.

Geng Xuan did not hesitate and immediately consumed twenty-four points of luck to advance to the master level.

……

Three hours later, Geng Xuan had completely digested and absorbed all the gains and insights that "Iron Eagle Claw" and "Iron Shirt" had gained at the master level.

After consuming 32 points of luck respectively, both skills were advanced to the Grandmaster level.

At this point, "Iron Eagle Claw" and "Iron Shirt" have both reached the limits of what their intentions can support.

And at the moment when these two skills completed the breakthrough from the master level to the grandmaster level, Geng Xuan felt as if he suddenly jumped out of the water from the bottom of the water.

The things that were originally blurry and unreal when seen underwater suddenly became clear.

Geng Xuan felt his body carefully.

He concentrated all his energy on the ten fingers of his hands.

Starting from the tips of the ten fingers, from the outermost layer of skin, all the way to the flesh and bones inside.

Geng Xuan knew clearly that as long as he wanted, his ten fingers could be as hard as steel at any time.

Not only can it tear human flesh and blood easily, but it will not be at a disadvantage even in a head-on confrontation with sharp weapons such as swords and knives.

It is also easy to catch a flying knife or hidden weapon with bare hands.

And at least four out of ten of these achievements were brought about by the Grandmaster's "Iron Eagle Claw".

The other 30% is brought by the Grandmaster's "Iron Skin Skill" and the Master's "Mountain-Smashing Steel Fist".

Another ten percent comes from the "Iron Sand Palm" of the master level.

The remaining 20% is from all other body-tempering achievements and all kinds of skills related to the ten fingers of both hands.

Including refining the flesh, refining the bones, refining the blood, the phantom hand, the Yin wind bone-transforming palm, the listening hammer... and so on.

No matter it is more technical-oriented or focuses more on body training, anything involving the ten fingers of both hands will, to a greater or lesser extent, have an impact and change on the ten fingers of both hands.

Among them, the most obvious, or the most "dominant" three elements are "Iron Eagle Claw", "Mountain-breaking and Steel-breaking Fist" and "Iron Skin Kung Fu".

The second is "Iron Sand Palm".

And if you expand your vision, it will be within the range of your palms expanded from your ten fingers.

Without using any advanced strength techniques, just relying on this pair of bare hands.

The contribution of "Iron Sand Palm" has been improved.

And the contribution of "Iron Eagle Claw" has retreated.

The contribution of "Iron Sheet Kung Fu" remains basically unchanged.

But overall, because the upper limit of "Iron Sand Palm" which occupies the core position is only limited to the master level, it is slightly inferior to "Iron Eagle Claw".

This is reflected in the actual effect that the power of using claws is greater than that of using palms.

Geng Xuan focused on his ten fingers and palms, and his attention continued to move upwards.

Move to the wrists, the entire arms, the shoulders, the back, the chest, the waist, the abdomen, the legs, the knees, the ankles, the soles of the feet...

If you use brightness and darkness to mark various parts of the body.

Then, the brightest area is undoubtedly the area of Geng Xuan's hands.

Furthermore, it can be imagined that as he completes the digestion and absorption of the master-level "Mountain-Smashing and Steel-Breaking Fist", he will advance to the grandmaster level.

The brightness of the hands area will be increased again.

Secondly, it is the arms that have practiced the "Iron Arm Kung Fu" and the knees that have practiced the "Iron Knee Strike".

The brightness of other parts, although there are differences in light and dark if you look closely, but overall, they all belong to the "dim" area.

Here, the "Iron Skin Skill" that is related to the skin all over the body, in addition to the achievements it brings in skin refining, also plays another role, that is, "connection".

A thought naturally arose in Geng Xuan's mind.

That is, "Can the brightness of the hands extend through the arms to the torso, head, and even all corners of the body?"

From another perspective, the question is actually "Can the hands, which are the most tempered, be used as a model to enable other parts of the body to reach the same level of tempering, or even continue to improve?"

This has gone beyond the scope of simple "skin refining" and is about "body tempering" itself.

As for the answer to this question, it is also clear.

of course can.

If it is not possible, there will be no such thing as perfect and flawless perfection in the five aspects of body tempering in this world.

But how to achieve it?
This question is a little more difficult.

But for Geng Xuan at this moment, it was not too difficult. At least, he already knew what to do.

It's very simple. Just make other "dim" areas of the body brighter, until you reach the brightness of your knees, arms, and even your palms.

If your head is not bright, exercise your head; if your back is not bright, exercise your back... exercise wherever it is not bright.

Anyway, from Iron Skin Kung Fu, Iron Sand Palm, to Iron Knee Charge, Iron Arm Kung Fu, Iron Eagle Claw, and Mountain-Smashing Steel Fist, the core concepts are all consistent.

——After reaching the master level of the "Iron Shirt", Geng Xuan already understood that it was different from the other techniques mentioned above. More importantly, it was a brilliant defensive technique. By unloading force and transforming strength, the enemy's attacks were resolved layer by layer and consumed step by step.

For other practitioners, this may still be a job where one cannot start.

But for Geng Xuan, who has already practiced all these skills to the master and even grandmaster level, it is just a matter of slightly expanding them and applying them to other situations.

This is much simpler than asking him to comprehend and create a cultivation method from scratch.

Now, Geng Xuan has completely understood Meng Tiexin's ideas for achieving success.

At this point, the emergence of "Iron Head Kung Fu" and "Iron Back Kung Fu", which focus on training the head and back, is a natural thing.

Almost at the moment when Geng Xuan figured this out, pieces of information emerged in his mind one after another.

[The host has understood the essence of Meng's Iron Head Skill, and his body also meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. He can quickly get started by consuming two points of luck.]

【whether?】

[The host has understood the essence of the concept of "Iron Back"... Consume two points of luck to quickly get started. ]

【whether?】

[The host has understood the essence of the "Iron Leg Skill"...consume two points of luck...]

【…】

[The host has understood the essence of the "Iron Row Kung Fu"...consume two points of luck...]

[“Iron Butt Kung Fu”…]

[《Iron Feet》……]

【whether?】

……

Just like scrolling on the screen, prompts appeared one after another, telling you to comprehend the true meaning of the six techniques and to consume good luck to get started.

It was the first time that Geng Xuan knew that the "Flint Bead" could actually present information in this way.

In the past, one would read a book on cultivation techniques carefully and thoroughly until one had grasped the essence of its purpose, and only then would one be prompted to consume good luck to get started.

But now, he had never seen these six new skills.

"Suizhu" told him directly, "You have already fully understood it. You can get started as long as you consume your good luck."

After thinking about it carefully, Geng Xuan felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

The purpose of his studying those martial arts books was to refine and comprehend the essence of their ideas.

Now, he has understood the essence of these techniques from other channels by "analogy", and there is nothing wrong with it.

Whether he understood it or not has no necessary connection with whether he has such a martial arts book in his hand or whether he has read it.

Geng Xuan thought this in his mind, and planned to confirm them one by one and truly master these six skills.

However, the next moment, Geng Xuan paused.

In the image of the human body that he imagined in his mind, all areas of the body were much brighter than the initial "dimness".

However, there is only one area where the brightness has not caught up and still remains "dim" at its original state.

This suddenly becomes very eye-catching and even a little annoying.

That position is exactly the crotch area.

Logically speaking, the perception of "analogy" should apply equally to all parts of the body.

It is not the case that he has a deeper understanding of the training related to the head and soles of the feet, but his understanding of the area between the legs is shallower.

There is no such truth.

But now, the fact is that the tempering techniques that are related to other parts of the body and have the same core have all "appeared", and only the crotch area is hidden and there is no movement at all.

Combining previous speculations, Geng Xuan made a judgment in his mind.

"'Flint beads', whether it's good luck, white luck, or bad luck, the effects are different.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they all act on ‘people’ and all originate from ‘people’.”

"I use my luck to improve my mastery of a certain technique, allowing me to quickly reach a higher level."

On the physical level, it means a deeper grasp of the corresponding exercises.

It may be that the mastery of skills becomes more sophisticated and complex, or it may be that it becomes more concise and efficient, or it may be that the level of physical training is improved rapidly.

On the level of consciousness, Geng Xuan can gain the corresponding insights that come from the progress of this technique.

When he digested and absorbed all the gains at the "physical level" and "consciousness level".

It means that he has completely established his foothold at this new level.

You can use up your good luck once again and step onto a higher level.

Initially, Geng Xuan did not think much about the mechanism behind Hongyun.

A plug-in that can help you improve quickly is good enough. Why think so much about it?
Just use it.

But after a long time, he couldn't help but think about it.

After thinking about it more and more, he gradually gained some insights of his own.

At first, Geng Xuan naturally thought that "good luck" itself carried energy.

No matter what kind of energy this is, at the moment when the red luck acts on him, there is always energy injected into his body synchronously.

But later, as it happened more and more times, Geng Xuan naturally gave up this idea.

The energy consumed by those actual changes that affect his "physical level" does not come from good luck, but from his body itself.

However, he himself could hardly perceive those technical skills that did not bring much change to the essence of his body.

The more obvious the changes in the body's nature are, the higher the demand for energy will be, and Geng Xuan will feel his body's "hunger" more clearly.

Originally, he thought it was just a supplement.

The main force is still good luck.

On one occasion, when Geng Xuan integrated his gains at the "consciousness level" with his gains at the "physical level", he suddenly had an epiphany, and a new idea took root in his mind.

In the past, Geng Xuan subconsciously viewed the gains at the "physical level" and the "consciousness level" separately.

Because from an emotional perspective, these are indeed changes on two levels.

"But what if the changes on the 'physical level' and the 'consciousness level' all come from the same thing, the same source?"

"Don't add entities if it's not necessary."

“When faced with the unknown, it is better to make it simpler than to make it more complicated.”

"If it is the same source, then what exactly does this red energy bring when it acts on my consciousness and my body?"

When his thoughts reached this point, Geng Xuan naturally thought of another thing that was different from energy and matter.

information.

Just these two words, everything at the "consciousness level" needs no further explanation.

So how does this information affect the body?
Geng Xuan thought that information is not limited to a perception or a seemingly plausible image memory, it can also be a specific "program".

When he clearly decides to upgrade a certain skill or technique, and the corresponding information is transmitted to his consciousness through infrared light, the corresponding "upgrade package" is also "downloaded" to the "hardware" of his body.

From then on, the body's "hardware" only needs to be "upgraded" with sufficient energy supply.

And this is more in line with his understanding of "flint beads".

Inside the "flint bead", the "sediments" representing good luck and bad luck are not some kind of strange energy, but a strange "source of information".

The "Flint Bead" is not an "oil storage barrel", but more like a "USB flash drive".

So, where does this "information" come from?
After going around in circles, the problem returns to the beginning.

Geng Xuan already had a clear understanding of this.

"It acts on people and comes from people."

The reason why he went through so much trouble was because Geng Xuan had figured out another thing.

Why was he able to "draw inferences from one instance to another" and comprehend the essence of the six new skills, such as "Iron Head Kung Fu" and "Iron Back Leaning" without obtaining the corresponding skills?

With the same depth of comprehension, why is there no other training method that shares the same core as theirs, but targets the area under the crotch?

the reason is simple.

Because no.

It's not that he doesn't have it, but that there is no such skill in this world so far.

Through "Cold Window Chat", Geng Xuan already knew that "Iron Back Leaning Back" and "Meng's Iron Head Skill" were both created by Meng Tiexin.

Taking into account the possibility that the author of this idle book may not have listed all the new skills, among the six new skills that have emerged now, excluding the "Iron Leg Kung Fu" that has already existed, it is very likely that some of them were created by Meng Tiexin.

And "Meng's Iron Head Kung Fu" is also very interesting.

This probably means that before Meng Tiexin created this technique, the "Iron Head Kung Fu" already existed in the world.

However, it is possible that he did not obtain it, or it is possible that this skill is named "Iron Head".

Its "core" is not consistent with the Iron Skin Kung Fu and Iron Sand Palm Kung Fu.

This forced Meng Tiexin to "support himself", which led to the creation of "Meng's Iron Head Kung Fu".

In the end, there was no special training method to strengthen the crotch. Geng Xuan put himself in Meng Tiexin's perspective and had some understanding.

Without cheating, if Meng Tiexin wanted to create a training method for a certain area of the body, it would be far from enough to just realize "I know how to do it".

It is necessary to go through repeated exploration, attempts, failures, summarization, refinement... before the finished product will appear.

For example, the "Iron Back" exercise for strengthening the back does not require hitting the back against a tree, a wall, or even an iron plate a thousand or eight hundred times. Without real experience, no matter how high your level of understanding is, it is impossible to build a tall building in the air.

By the same token, if Meng Tiexin wants to create a training method specifically for the crotch area, he must go through a similar process.

No matter how talented and intelligent Meng Tiexin is, he probably still has the common weaknesses and fears of men.

He dared to use his back, even his head and other parts of his body to hit trees, rocks and iron without fear of failure.

But he was obviously resistant to similar training on a certain part of his body.

The consequences of failure are totally unacceptable.

"If there are imperfections in the tempering, it naturally cannot be called perfect... Could this be one of the reasons why he only achieved the third perfection of body tempering instead of the fifth perfection?"

The reason why Geng Xuan spent so much time thinking about this matter was not really for this flawed training method.

By completing this matter, he further increased his understanding of "flint beads".

and recognizing the limitations of the ability of “red luck.”

In Geng Xuan's imagination, there seemed to be such a huge and vast "pool" in this world.

In this "pool" are contained various cultivation methods created and perfected by practitioners of past generations.

From the training and application of skills at the physical level to the corresponding perception and cognition required at the conscious level, all are contained in this pool.

The function of the good fortune deposited in the "Flint Pearl" is to call out the corresponding "download program" and perception and cognition and inject them into his body through the consumption of varying amounts of good fortune when the "host" needs it.

This is where the "Flint Bead" or "Good Luck" is powerful.

But on the other hand, its limitations are also clearly revealed.

That was the part where he could take a shortcut, the part that was only in this "pool" and that he could easily "download" and call upon.

But if there is no such skill in this "pool", that is to say, if there is any skill that has not been created by anyone so far, he will not have this convenience.

If he wants to succeed on this path, he can only rely on himself.

"Is it really so?" Geng Xuan asked himself.

Thinking of past experiences, Geng Xuan had some inspiration.

"Perhaps I can only rely on myself to get through this journey, but there are some shortcuts as well." Geng Xuan thought to himself.

He thought that after he mastered the "medicine art" to a higher level, his talent for making medicine would also increase greatly.

From an ordinary genius, to an extraordinary genius, and then to an extraordinary monster.

When he elevated his "medicine skills" to the perfect level, his talent for medicine also reached its peak.

Without consuming any luck, you can easily upgrade a pharmaceutical ability to the grandmaster level.

You can rewrite the drug formula at will according to your own needs.

Similar manifestations of genius gradually emerged in the Nine Streams of Secret Arts.

It was precisely because of this kind of genius that he was able to figure out the "pigeon training technique" through the "star-fixing technique", "dog-running technique" and a book called "Pigeon Training Notes".

“If I had similar talent in cultivation, or in creating techniques, that would surpass Meng Tiexin’s.

Perhaps, I can really create a new technique that I need just by ‘enlightenment’.”

However, how can we improve our understanding in this area?

Are there any techniques or secret skills that can directly increase understanding in this area?

Geng Xuan had no information on this. Maybe there was, maybe not. He was not sure.

However, after figuring this out, Geng Xuan came up with a rather "clumsy" but somewhat effective method.

Practice makes perfect.

The more Grandmaster-level or even Perfection-level skills you master, the broader your knowledge will be, and the more you will understand about cultivation.

Even, see the scenery that others cannot see.

With such vision and mind, it will naturally be much easier to create new skills than those with lower realm and less knowledge.

For other practitioners, this method is indeed clumsy.

After all, how many Grandmaster-level or even Perfection-level techniques does one need to master to be considered a lot?
No matter how talented a person is, his time and energy are limited, and the areas he can invest in are also limited. This method seems a bit too silly.

But for Geng Xuan, this just meant wasting some of his good luck.

I can afford it!
It’s a long story, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through Geng Xuan’s mind like lightning.

By the time these thoughts subsided, Geng Xuan had already made his choice.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"..."

Six confirmations were made in succession.

Including the six kinds of skills including "Meng's Iron Head Skill", "Iron Back Leaning" and "Iron Leg Skill", all of them are learned.

At the same time, Geng Xuan felt as if countless ants were crawling under his skin.

At the same time, Geng Xuan felt his body once again conveying the feeling of "hunger".

Geng Xuan quickly swallowed five Essence Pills into his body.

It was as if there were invisible little mouths everywhere in the body, and the medicinal power released by the five Essence Pills was quickly swallowed and absorbed by every part of the body.

At the same time, as the power of the medicine was rapidly consumed, subtle and continuous changes were taking place all over the body, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.

When all these changes had subsided, Geng Xuan felt as if he was surrounded by an annoying, tangled, and inescapable silk net, and now a corner of it had been torn open by him in an instant.

Geng Xuan's heart moved, and he began to comprehend it carefully.

After a while, Geng Xuan opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

Originally, the leather refining achievement had remained at "83%" for a long time.

Just in that brief moment, it increased by 0.20% to "85%".

In addition to the achievement in bone refining, under the guidance of the "bone shrinking method" of the perfect state, after the natural improvement of these days, it has also increased by 0.20% again, from "84%" to "86%".

　This paragraph about the insights into Suizhu and Hongyun was a painstaking one to write, so the reading experience may not be good. I just wanted to try my best to express the underlying rules of the operation of Suizhu and Hongyun and convey them to the readers.
