Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Soon, the memory resurfaced.

"The wedding procession leaving the Prince's residence?"

"The marriage between Prince Li and Li Muqing, the eldest daughter of the Li family of Yunmeng, has been arranged. Steward Xu Shu has been ordered to lead a team to Leize City to fetch the bride."

"According to the simulation, I am a new recruit who has just enlisted. I haven't mastered the standard military swordsmanship yet. Originally, I wasn't supposed to be on this mission, but I spent twenty taels of silver to bribe the officer and got the opportunity to go with him. I'm only going to accumulate military merits so that I can get promoted and get a raise in the future."

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's gaze fell on the horizontal sword in his hand.

Standard military saber.

It is straight and without any curves, with a narrow blade and thick spine, single-edged, and the tip is often made into a slanted straight reverse edge, which can be used for both slashing and piercing, and has strong armor-piercing ability.

Wait, the standard military sword technique.

Lin Mo hurriedly felt his full-body armor and took out a thin booklet from his pocket. There were five large characters written on the cover.

【Dead Soul Desire Blade】

"This is the standard military sword technique, effective for killing and severing all emotions and desires, and it is invincible!"

Lin Mo perused the manual, studying it word by word.

He wielded the horizontal sword in his hand, and inside the tent, the snow gleamed fiercely. With a deep dragon's roar, the sword was sheathed.

"The knife is a fine knife, but the swordsmanship is too brutal, practically inhuman!"

The advantage is that I can now practice killing techniques, instead of having internal energy but no usable moves.

The downside is that the sword techniques are standardized and there are no methods for cultivating internal strength.

In other words, no matter how well one masters swordsmanship, it is still just an external killing technique and cannot be refined into a life-bound spiritual weapon.

  

The upper limit is completely locked.

"Well, some practice is better than none."

Lin Mo stepped out of the tent, chose a secluded spot, set up a fire pit, and began roasting snake meat while practicing his swordsmanship according to the sword manual.

……

The wedding procession was inside the camp, with clothes scattered all over the ground.

On an enormous brocade couch large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people, the head steward, Xu Shu, lay drunk in the spring sunshine.

As a scholar, he was completely aroused when the beauty personally fed him a few cups of wine. He picked up his pen and began to write miscellaneous essays directly on the beauty's fair skin and jade bones.

As the last stroke of the essay fell, black smoke rose from the beautiful woman's body, growing stronger and stronger. In the blink of an eye, the once youthful and lively beauty transformed into a human skin book, lying flat on the rusty bed.

Xu Shu watched as the beauty before him transformed into a human skin book filled with writing, his gaze unusually cold, as if he were looking at a work of art rather than a living person.

"Excellent, excellent. With the help of this spiritual book, our journey to Leize City will be a great success."

……

With a deep dragon's roar, a silver dragon was unleashed by sweeping the sword horizontally before it was sheathed.

Lin Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over to the snake meat roasting over the fire, sat down, and began to feast, satisfying his hunger.

"It's really strange. How come I've mastered it so quickly after only a short time of training, as if I've been practicing for over ten years? It's quite odd."

Lin Mo quickly figured out the key to it. Ever since he returned from the cultivation cave, his memory seemed to have been upgraded, and he could remember everything he saw.

His comprehension has also improved significantly. After reading the sword technique manual once, he was able to apply what he learned to other situations and add his own ideas.

This should be related to the cultivator's spiritual consciousness.

"It smells so good!"

A sigh suddenly came from the woods.

Lin Mo immediately became wary and grabbed the scabbard with his left hand.

"It's me." A figure emerged from the woods, clad in armor, with a square face, middle-aged appearance, and a thick beard.

He was Sun Qian, an old guard of the Prince's Palace.

"Master Qian, it's you! I thought you were a spy. You scared me." Lin Mo put down his sword.

Sun Qian sat down on a rock nearby and explained, "I'm getting old. I got up at night to relieve myself and saw a fire over here, so I came over out of curiosity. I saw you practicing your knife skills earlier, so I didn't dare to disturb you. But I am getting old after all, and when I smelled your roasted snake meat, I couldn't resist."

Lin Mo handed him a piece of snake meat, saying, "Everyone gets a share, Master Qian. How was my knife skill just now?"

While eating the roasted meat, Sun Qian gave some pointers: "Little Mozi, listen to your uncle's advice, don't take this knife skill too seriously, just make do with it."

Lin Mo looked at his sword, puzzled: "If you master swordsmanship, you'll be better able to survive on the battlefield."

Sun Qian patiently explained: "This military sword technique was created specifically for soldiers who die on the battlefield, those who don armor and die on the battlefield. It is divided into four levels: calming the mind, fearlessness, ruthlessness, and self-sacrifice."

"The more desires you have in your heart, the more sluggish your swordsmanship will be, the bigger the flaws will be, and the more your killing intent will dissipate when you draw your sword."

"Only by severing the seven emotions and eliminating the six desires can one become an extremely sharp blade with an empty body."

Lin Mo's expression darkened upon hearing this: "This is the Heartless Blade!"

Sun Qian nodded helplessly: "To master swordsmanship, one must be devoid of emotion and love, free from pain and affection. When a person doesn't even cherish their own life, can they still be considered human?"

"Little Mozi, I just saw you use the knife. Your knife skills have reached an unparalleled level. Stop practicing. If you continue, you will only turn yourself into a human weapon that only knows how to kill on the battlefield. If a person has no feelings, he is not even as good as an animal."

Lin Mo looked at the sword in his hand, his expression troubled: "I joined the army to practice martial arts. If I don't practice swordsmanship, what else can I practice?"

Sun Qian scoffed, "What profound skills can a third-rate external martial arts technique for body tempering produce? True body tempering techniques all focus on internal energy."

"If you don't mind, I have an internal energy cultivation method here. Although it's not a very good one, consider it payment for your barbecue."

Lin Mo looked embarrassed: "How could I possibly accept this? It's just snake meat, it's not worth two yuan."

Sun Qian waved his hand and said, "You may not be able to master the martial art I'm teaching you. Even I haven't made up my mind to practice it yet."

So you're just doing me a favor, treating me like a scrap metal dealer?

Lin Mo inwardly grumbled, but still clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your guidance, Master Qian."

Sun Qian reached into his robes and pulled out a yellowed booklet, waving it around as he introduced it: "This is called the [Alligator Dragon Skill]. After it is perfected, you can undergo a martial arts rebirth. At that time, you will be reborn with an alligator dragon skin, your body will be as tough as dragon armor, impervious to swords and spears, and its power will be no less than the [Golden Bell Cover]."

"This is a genuine change in skin regeneration, unlike those inferior body-refining techniques like the Golden Bell Shield. To be invulnerable to blades and spears, one still needs to circulate their energy beforehand and there are still weaknesses and flaws. My Dragon Crocodile Technique can even cover the eyelids with new growth."

Lin Mo listened intently, amazed by how impressive it was.

"Master Qian, this [Alligator Dragon Skill] is so powerful, why don't you practice it?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qian gave an awkward, wry smile.

"He's still young and inexperienced; there are some things he doesn't understand."

"After cultivating this skill, my martial arts will be reborn, and my whole body will be covered with a layer of crocodile skin, including my genitals. At that time, even if I am attacked by swords and axes, I may not be able to sense it. Although I am a bachelor, I like to go to brothels to drink and have some fun when I have nothing to do."

Lin Mo's expression froze for a moment, and he looked down at his lower body.

If it were covered with a thick layer of dragon skin, impervious to swords and spears, wouldn't it be completely undetectable?

No wonder Sun Qian refused to practice.

It's a shame that I've missed out on so much joy in life.

But that was him.

I'm not afraid.

With the supernatural power of "Ruyi Ruyi" already achieved, coupled with the spiritual perception of a cultivator, the body's sensitivity far surpasses that of ordinary people, so how could it possibly lack enjoyment?

Besides, I am not a lecherous person.

This [Alligator Dragon Skill] is perfect for me to cultivate!
