Of course, Xue Xin's so-called seclusion referred to moving out of the house and finding a quiet place where no one would disturb him so that he could wholeheartedly study literature and martial arts. [] It wasn't like those legends where they would find a cave or something and seal themselves in there for decades or centuries. As for the place, he had already chosen it long ago. It was the place where he usually practiced martial arts. It was in the innermost part of the Xue family's valley. There was a cliff that almost went straight up and down. A waterfall rushed down from the top of the mountain and rushed into a deep pool in the valley. The living water in the Xue family's residence flowed from there.
The next day, accompanied by his parents, Xue Xin came to the pond. He didn't call for servants, and the family built a simple wooden house by themselves in five days. After putting down the books and daily necessities that Xue Xin needed, Father Xue pulled his tearful wife back. Although Mother Xue didn't agree to Xue Xin's independent cultivation at such a young age, after Xue Xin and her father's patient persuasion, she could only compromise in the end. Xue Xin looked at his mother, who kept turning her head around with every step she took, and his heart also felt sour. However, his mother's worry and tears immediately turned into greater motivation. He knew that if he did not practice martial arts well now, there would be more times for his mother to worry in the future. Unless he never went out again, but that was impossible. After his parents left, Xue Xin turned around and entered the wooden house. The first thing he did next was to clean up this little nest that he didn't know how long he would be staying in.
Although this wooden house was built by three people, the actual construction work was done by Father Xue, while Xue Xin and his mother were just helping out by the side, serving tea and pouring water. Now, it seemed that Father Xue was quite skilled in construction. The entire house was built with wood, but it was very exquisite and sturdy. There was no need to worry about typhoons in the mountains, so it could be used for a long time. Moreover, although it was small, it had everything. The entire house was reasonably divided into three small single rooms. From the outside to the inside, there was a lounge, a study, and a bedroom. As for food, this place was only three or four li away from the Xue Manor, but food was delivered every day. After all, Xue Xin wasn't in seclusion, and it was impossible for the Xue Clan's lord to be completely at ease. It was inevitable that he would send people to check on him every day.
Xue Xin himself did not know that he had lived in this small wooden house for ten years. Every day, he trained hard, practiced martial arts, and read books. If it weren't for the fact that he was an introverted person in his previous life, he would have long been unable to stand this boring life.
Of course, he would also go back to rest for a few days during festivals or when his martial arts had made a certain breakthrough. After all, people were not made of iron and needed to rest appropriately. The current Xue Xin had already grown into a young man full of heroic spirit. A height of 1.7 meters was not considered very tall in the future, but it was very rare among his peers in this era. However, Xue Xin did not have the robust figure of a martial artist at all. Instead, he appeared a little thin. Coupled with his crystal white skin, if it was not for the light that shot out from his eyes from time to time, he would really look like a gigolo. However, unlike his weak appearance, his strength, agility, and other aspects had already reached an inhuman level.
The results of his years of bitter cultivation alone were incomparably huge. The culprit behind Xue Xin's extremely deceptive appearance was the Tendon Changing and Bone Forging Chapter that he had been practicing every day. It was indeed worthy of being the unique technique in the Nine Yin Scripture. The person who practiced it cultivated both internally and externally, and at the same time, trained his muscles and bones in an all-round way. However, we often say,"Training the muscles, bones, and skin externally, and training the Qi internally." The training of external skills focuses on the muscles, bones, and skin, but not the muscles. Compared to these three, the muscles have no advantage in terms of hardness and flexibility. Therefore, in the external training of the chapter of changing tendons and bones, the muscles are gradually refined through secret methods, and the muscles, bones, and skin are greatly strengthened at the same time. The training of internal skills is to hone the bone marrow and blood from the inside out. After ten years of practice, Finally, Xue Xin's Tendon Changing and Bone Forging Chapter was completed (This part was copied from Dragon Snake's words, so please forgive me, Dream of Divine Armaments). The current situation was that he did not have any muscles on his body, but in contrast, the tendons and bones in his body were developed to the extreme. Therefore, although he looked weak, even if he did not use internal strength, just relying on brute force, lifting three to four hundred pounds of things was not difficult at all. Moreover, if he exploded, the strength of a thousand pounds was not an exaggeration. At this point, it could be said that Xue Xin's physical martial arts had already reached great success. If it was in the future, just based on his current body... Xue Xin was also a top-notch martial arts expert, but he was now in a world where all kinds of mysterious and mysterious internal arts existed. As long as a martial artist had achieved success in internal arts, he could do what he did. After all, whether it was honing the human body or developing the potential of the human body, internal arts were much more efficient than external arts. (For example, Jinlun Guoshi in the later Divine Condor. After practicing the Dragon Elephant Bo-Ruo Technique, the older he got, the stronger he became. In the end, when he was 70 or 80 years old, he still had the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants.)
Other than his skin that wouldn't change color even under the sun, Xue Xin was still very satisfied with his current body. His consciousness returned to his body bit by bit, as if he had slowly surfaced from the bottom of the pitch-black water. Xue Xin slowly woke up from his meditation, and a new day began. Xue Xin walked out of the room and began his day of training. First, he slowly practiced Taiji Fist. Ever since he had mastered the chapter of changing muscles and bones, he no longer needed to carry out exercises such as weight bearing or long-distance running. Because his potential had basically been explored to the limit, these exercises had no effect. Therefore, the first thing he practiced in the morning was the Taiji Fist he had learned in school in his previous life. Although it was just a show and was probably useless in actual combat in this world, it was still useful for training the coordination of the body, especially when he first woke up in the morning. He slowly practiced the fist like a machine warming up. At the same time, it was also a preparation for the various martial arts training that would follow.
In the first few years, Xue Xin only practiced some basic martial arts. It was not until his foundation was extremely solid that he began to study the martial arts of the Nine Yin Mantra. The martial arts recorded in the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual should be all of Huang Shang's own martial arts, because these martial arts happened to be a set. The foundation was the chapter of bone and tendon strengthening, the long-distance attack was the White Python Whip Skill, the Soul Shifting Skill, and the Non-Phase Sound Gang, the close combat was the Nine Yin Divine Claw, the Heart Pressing Palm, and the Great Demon Subduing Fist, the Lightness Skill was the Nine Spiral Shadows and the Snake Flipping Skill, and there was also a chapter on acupuncture and healing. However, these martial arts were said to be able to break all the unique skills of the enemy in the yellow dress, so they were all profound and profound to the extreme. Although Xue Xin had read a lot of Taoist books these years and had Confucius, a learned scholar, to consult,(Although Confucius no longer taught Xue Xin, he didn't go back either. On the one hand, he liked the tranquility here, and on the other hand, he was attracted by the large number of precious books collected by Father Xue, so he simply settled down in the Xue Village.) However, he still didn't practice any martial arts to the Dacheng realm recorded in the scriptures.
After practicing Taiji Fist, Xue Xin returned to his room to have breakfast. Then, he slowly walked to the side of the pool and stood in front of a huge rock that was as tall as a person. He saw that the side of the bluestone facing Xue Xin was as flat as a wall, as if it had been cut out by someone with a sharp weapon.
However, the stone wall was densely covered with many palm prints and scratch marks, all of which had sunk several inches below the stone surface. This was the result of Xue Xin's practice of the Nine Yin Divine Claw and the Heart Pressing Palm. Xue Xin stood in front of the boulder for a moment, then suddenly took a deep breath. He then raised his right hand and slowly pressed it against the stone wall. His hand was only reaching out bit by bit, as if he was dragging a heavy object. However, when he pressed on the stone surface, a muffled " pu " sound was heard. Then, the stone wall seemed to be made of flour. Xue Xin's hand sank into it completely. It was exactly three inches deep, just like the other handprints. Looking at the stone powder slowly floating down, Xue Xin sighed slightly, as if he was not satisfied,"It still doesn't work. It seems that I really have to wait until the second layer of Minor Non-Phase Method is completed before the power of this Heart Pressing Palm can reach the original level." It turned out that what Xue Xin was practicing was the Heart Pressing Palm.
The Heart Pressing Palm was actually called the Heart Pressing Skill to better reflect its characteristics. The Heart Pressing Palm was actually not a set of exquisite palm techniques, but a method to stimulate the palm power. This Heart Pressing Palm was similar to the " hitting a cow across a mountain " that we often heard about. It was a method to practice the palm power to an extremely soft level to specifically hurt internal organs. However, it was a product of Nine Yin after all, so it was naturally much more brilliant than ordinary hidden force techniques. As long as one successfully cultivated the first level of martial arts, they would be able to " hit a bull across a mountain ". When they cultivated the second level, as long as they were activated, their internal energy would surge out from their hands like waves. Moreover, when they fought with others and competed with their internal energy, the internal energy that was shaken back at the front would stack with the internal energy at the back and gather a greater force. Xue Xin was currently at this realm. Later on, when he reached the great success stage, the inner energy in his body would naturally circulate in waves. Not only could it speed up his inner energy cultivation, but he also did not have to deliberately urge it when he attacked. Every move he made would naturally release the inner energy of the Heart Pressing Palm. However, this realm had extremely strict requirements for internal strength control. Xue Xin knew that this couldn't be rushed, so he didn't take it to heart. The next thing he practiced was the Nine Yin Divine Claw. Xue Xin's ten fingers formed a claw shape and reached into the stone wall. His ten fingers grabbed deeply into the stone wall and then split into two sides. This time, he directly scratched ten deep grooves in the stone wall, and broken stones flew in all directions.
After testing out the power of the Divine Claw, Xue Xin no longer destroyed the bluestone in front of him. Instead, he lightly jumped back, giving people the feeling that he was a goose feather that was blown by the wind. There was no wind, but his speed was extremely fast. When Xue Xin lifted his foot, he had already appeared 70 - 80 feet behind him. There was even a faint shadow in front of the stone wall that was maintaining the movement of kicking forward with its foot and leaping back with force. After Xue Xin landed on the ground, this afterimage actually lasted for about a breath's time before slowly dissipating. However, at this moment, Xue Xin's real body could no longer be seen clearly. It turned out that Xue Xin was constantly changing his position in the field, and every time he jumped, he would leave behind an afterimage. As soon as he landed, he would immediately shake his body, and then leave behind an afterimage, but his real body was already several feet away. This was the best choice in the Nine Yin Scripture when fighting with others-the Nine Spiral Shadows. Although Xue Xin could now maintain nine shadows at the same time, because his power was not pure, the shadows that were separated were very illusory and transparent. The duration was also very short, but it was still shocking. At this moment, Xue Xin was using the Spiral Nine Shadows under his feet and the Nine Yin Divine Claw in his hand. From the side, one could only see a black shadow crisscrossing in the shadows that filled the sky. As for the movements of his hands, ordinary people could not see them clearly at all. They only heard the sharp sound of his fingers slicing through the air, and they knew how lethal they were. Next, Xue Xin also practiced the Great Demon Subduing Fist and his family's Water Subtle Steps. Then, he looked at the sky. The morning was almost over, so he took a break and waited for lunch.
After eating and resting, Xue Xin came to the pond again with a long sword in his hand. But this time, he jumped into the water and began to dance with his sword at the bottom of the pond. It turned out that because he had not been able to find a brilliant sword technique, Xue Xin simply gave up the idea of urgently searching after mastering the basic sword techniques. Instead, he learned from the legendary Sword Demon to comprehend the way of using the sword underwater. Because this pool was washed out by the waterfall, it looked calm on the surface, but the undercurrent was really turbulent at the bottom. In the beginning, Xue Xin couldn't even stand under the water. After a long time of practice, Xue Xin slowly got used to it. Although this environment was difficult at the beginning, it was very beneficial for Xue Xin's understanding of swordsmanship. However, because he lacked the experience of using a sword, he had yet to comprehend the realm of a heavy sword. However, now that his sword technique was out, it could be close to first-class in the game. Xue Xin spent the entire afternoon practicing his swordsmanship. It was only when the moon was high in the sky and the servants brought over dinner that Xue Xin stopped practicing for the day.
