Before Dong Zhuo could finish his sentence, Huangfu Song appeared from the side and kowtowed."I think that Grand Preceptor Dong's words are inappropriate. Liu Zhang was a member of the imperial clan, the same clan as the Emperor. They were both direct descendants of Emperor Gaozu. Now that Liu Zhang was old, passing the throne to his son was a matter of course. Moreover, I heard that Liu Xun is only about twenty years old, but he has defeated Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei. He is really talented in governing the country. Appointed him as Yizhou Mu, is the right person.”
Emperor Xian completely agreed with Huangfu Song, but he was just a puppet emperor. The government was in Dong Zhuo's hands, so he didn't dare to make a sound.
Dong Zhuo was about to lose his temper when Li Ru winked at him. He had always known that Li Ru was resourceful and knew that something was wrong. He immediately announced that he would withdraw from the court and discuss it another day.
After returning to the mansion, Dong Zhuo summoned Li Ru and asked,"Today, I objected to the appointment of Liu Xun as the herdsman of Yizhou. Why did you object?”
"Grand Preceptor, think about it. Yizhou is located in a remote area. With the strength of the Sword Pavilion and the danger of the Hou Gate, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the Grand Preceptor is currently in charge of the court. The ministers of the court and the vassals of the sea are all eyeing him covetously. Based on the current situation, even if the Grand Preceptor objected to Liu Xun becoming the herdsman of Yizhou, it would not change the fact that he controlled Yizhou. Instead, he would become enemies with him for no reason. Now that Liu Xun had come to court, the Grand Preceptor appointed him as the herdsman of Yizhou in the name of the court. Then, he would send a trusted aide to Yizhou to issue an edict and observe Liu Xun. Today, the Grand Preceptor had conferred him an official position. If the Grand Preceptor was in trouble in the future, he would summon Liu Xun in the name of the emperor to save the emperor. How could he dare to disobey?”
"In your opinion, who should we send?”
"Jia Xu is a resourceful person. Sending him as an emissary is the most suitable.”
" Good idea, let's do it this way," Dong Zhuo said.
The next morning at court, Dong Zhuo went out to report: "Liu Xun, the son of the Yizhou Prefecture Overseer, Liu Zhang, is young and talented. Your Majesty, please send someone to appoint him as the Yizhou Prefecture Overseer.”
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was shocked.
" We'll do as Grand Preceptor says. Grand Preceptor will send someone to announce the decree," Emperor Xian said, his tone filled with helplessness.
" I thank the Emperor for his kindness on behalf of Liu Xun," Dong Zhuo said." My subordinate, Jia Xu, is quite talented. He can go and announce the decree."
"Grand Preceptor, do as you see fit. Please allow it."
Dong Zhuo summoned Jia Xu, and after some planning, he let him go to Yizhou.
Liu Xun was most concerned about refining pills to open up the veins in his left foot and restore it to normal. At the same time, he would complete the Foundation Establishment of the [World Engulfing Force].
Zuo Ci's Dao book was very magical. Liu Xun was talented and intelligent, but he had never learned alchemy before. Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill was very difficult to refine.
He used his authority as the Prefecture Overseer of Yi Prefecture and mobilized his subordinates to gather all the materials for the pill refinement. However, after he started refining the pill, he realized that it was not easy to refine.
" Sigh, I've already failed fifty times. I don't think I'll fail again this time," Liu Xun said. After dozens of failures, his alchemy skills had improved greatly. He could now refine some ordinary pills.
Seeing that the furnace of pills had reached a critical juncture, Liu Xun wrote talismans and cast spells. He stepped on the wind and pointed his sword at the sky. Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
A gust of strong wind swept over, followed by another patch of dark clouds gathering in the sky." That's right, the wind comes from Long, and the clouds come from Tiger. The gathering of wind and clouds is the sign that Long Tiger's Meridian Opening Foundation Establishment Pill is about to be completed.”
The strong wind howled furiously around the pill furnace, spinning in circles, forming a huge vortex. Dark clouds rolled in the sky. The sky above the pill furnace was as black as ink. It was the image of a long tiger meeting. This scene was exactly the same as the one described in the 'Collection of Daoist Spells' that Zuo Ci had passed down.
" Hard work pays off. Once the Long Tiger Pill is formed, I'll successfully build my foundation. The era of me, Liu Xun, who can do whatever I want in this world is coming." Liu Xun was ecstatic. He couldn't help but shout," I, Liu Bang, am finally going to rise up.”
He couldn't help but call out his real name. This was the first time he called out his real name since he came to this world.
Fortunately, the soldier who heard this did not doubt him at all. He only admired him in his heart." My lord, you're indeed ambitious. You compare yourself to Liu Bang, the great ancestor. You're ambitious."”
Just as he was feeling smug, thick lightning kept flashing in the sky. Waves of thunder suddenly exploded and struck the pill furnace.
" Oh my god, why is my life so bitter? It wasn't easy for me to finish refining a cauldron of pills, but in the end, I attracted the jealousy of the heavens and attracted the heavenly lightning. It seems that my hard work this time has been in vain again," Liu Xun complained endlessly. He could only continue to step on the astral wind and cast spells on the fire under the cauldron, hoping to avoid the disaster.
There was no way out for him. On one hand, he was unwilling to give up. On the other hand, this pill furnace was connected to his mind. If he stopped, his mind would be damaged and he would be dispirited for a few days.
Fortunately, the lightning bolts were only aimed at the pill furnace and didn't hit him. Otherwise, even if he had lightning true qi, it was hard to say whether he could survive another lightning strike.
The pill furnace began to tremble violently. With a loud sound, the pill furnace toppled over and extinguished the flames. The lightning stopped and the clouds were calm.
" I'm not willing to die." Liu Xun looked up into the sky and roared. He was depressed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A golden pill was lying quietly beside the furnace.
The pill was about the size of a quail egg. It was several times smaller than what was described in the " Collection of Daoist Techniques ". The book said that it was about the size of an egg, and the color was not completely correct.
The Daoist book said that the Dragon Tiger Meridian Opening Foundation Establishment Pill was golden in color and translucent. However, this pill was golden in color and green in color. It actually emitted a faint light.
"How could this be? It wasn't easy to refine a pill. This is the result of a few months and 50 failures. The pill that was refined in the end had obviously undergone a mutation. Would the mutated pill still have its original effect? Liu Xun was caught in a dilemma. Time waits for no man. He doesn't have the patience to spend a few more months refining pills. Not to mention anything else, today's battle had even cost the life of a poor student. If the next time he refined pills, he would attract heavenly lightning. It was really hard to say whether he would be able to escape this calamity.”
" Just take it. If this pill is poisonous, I'll die."
"Are you not convinced? If this pill really has the effect of Foundation Establishment and Meridian Opening, wouldn't your intestines turn green with regret?”
Holding the pill in his hand, Liu Xun circled around the pill furnace. His heart was at war with the heavens, and he could not make up his mind.
"Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci, you're too irresponsible. Leaving behind a broken book and leaving me with a difficult problem? Is there anyone in the world who teaches disciples like you?”Liu Xunxin kept criticizing Zuo Ci.
" Since I've been reborn in this chaotic world, I have to live like a human and be a hero of my generation. Otherwise, I won't be willing to live a mediocre life." Liu Xun made up his mind." If I don't succeed, I'll be benevolent. I'll give in."”
He raised his head and swallowed the Long Tiger Meridian Opening Foundation Establishment Pill. Then, he swallowed his saliva and swallowed it with a gulp.
After the pill entered his stomach, his body became abnormally hot. Liu Xun sat down cross-legged according to the Qi circulation method of the Momentum Swallowing the World Mysterious Art. He circulated the Qi in his body and guided the power of the pill to cleanse his hair and marrow. He attacked the five internal organs, twelve regular meridians, and eight extraordinary meridians. Every time he circulated it, his left leg was in extreme pain.
Enduring the pain, he continued to cultivate, only stopping when he reached perfection.
Liu Xun stood up and walked a few steps. Miraculously, he found that his left foot had mostly recovered. As long as he practiced every day, it wouldn't take long for him to be lame again.
As he swung his fists and kicked, he felt that his strength was unusually strong. Every punch was like a tiger's, and his strength was as strong as a tiger's. Moreover, his fists and feet were filled with sizzling lightning, and the power of lightning contained in them was several times stronger than before.
" Good heavens, this pill is called the Long Tiger Meridian Opening Foundation Establishment Pill. It's indeed incredible. It actually has the strength of a Long Tiger," Liu Xun said with a click of his tongue." Fortunately, I have the World Swallowing Force Mystical Art that Master Zuo Ci taught me to protect my body. If an ordinary martial artist consumed this pill, they would have long burst their meridians and exploded to death."
For a moment, Liu Xun felt full of energy. His limbs and bones were warm, and there was an indescribable comfort and endless energy.
During this period of time, military affairs were entrusted to Zhang Ren, and government affairs were entrusted to Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, and Liu Xun. They only went to the Prefecture Overseer's Meeting Hall to discuss matters when there were major matters.
Now that he was full of energy, Liu Xun found a quiet room in the residence and started to read the ? Power Swallowing the World Technique ? taught by Zuo Ci.
"This technique is named after 'Shi.' All the techniques in the world have Shi. Power is Tao. Tao can be explained, but it is not the same. Power can be understood, but it is also difficult to understand.”
"This technique starts with 'Shi' and ends with 'Shi.' It has the same effect as the three stages of Zen.”
"The first level is to see mountains as mountains and water as water. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various martial arts weapons, knowing their strengths and weaknesses, and understanding their trends was the first realm.”
"The second level is to look at the mountain and not the mountain, and the water and not the water. After one had cultivated a Profound Skill to a certain level, one would understand that the cultivation realm of various martial techniques differed from person to person. The same martial technique would have different 'forces' when used by different people. Once he truly comprehended this realm, his Dao heart would begin to become clear and reach the realm of Dao Force. If one did not have the corresponding mental cultivation method and had abnormal talent, most martial artists would stagnate after reaching this realm and never get close to it in their lives. This realm could be called the Martial Saint Realm.”Seeing this, Liu Xun secretly read his mind. Guan Yunzhang was called the " Warrior Sage " by the later generations, and it made sense.
"The third level is to see mountains as mountains and water as water. After reaching this realm, his Dao heart was further enlightened. At this moment, he was already hard to find a match in the world. This realm was known as 'Force.' As long as one had a glimpse of the 'Force' realm, it would be extremely cold at the top, and it would be difficult to find a match in the world. It was as if he was undoing an ox with ease. However, in order to truly achieve a completely clear Dao heart, one must reach the peak of 'force'. At that time, Heaven and Man became one, one's heart was clear, and one's nature was revealed. No martial arts in the world were worthy of his attention. This was really amazing, and it was difficult to describe it all before reaching the realm.”
Following that, Zuo Ci began to describe the various martial arts in detail. The more Liu Xun read, the more fascinated he became. He danced around in joy.
" The Five Tigers Gate Breaking Axe of the Zhao family in Yizhou is extremely powerful. Its power lies in…" After confirming Zhao Wei's axe technique, Liu Xun felt enlightened." If I face Zhao Wei again, even if I can't defeat him, I won't lose in three moves." At the very least, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last thirty to fifty moves.”
"Unfortunately, Zhao Wei is already dead. My wish to fight him again can't be realized.”
……
"Plants, insects, fish, birds, beasts, wind, rain, lightning, and even all living things in the world have 'force'. A real warrior had to create his own 'force' from the beginning, so that his Dao heart could gradually be enlightened and finally see his nature. Seeing this, Liu Xun's heart was moved. His Thunder Light Genuine Qi was different from the others, but how could he have the 'force' of the Heavenly Thunder? What if he used other methods to create his own Shi?
Liu Xun didn't dare to try the Heavenly Thunder at the moment. How could he create his own " Force "?
" It's not a bad way to kill a cow." Liu Xun's eyes lit up, but he immediately denied his idea." It took me a lifetime to understand the power of a cow. I don't know anything about killing a cow, so this method won't work."”
" Don't people always say that 'an irresistible force is like a hot knife through bamboo?' Splitting bamboo should work, right?" Then, he shook his head and rejected the idea.
After much thought, Liu Xun finally set his goal on the idea of " practicing in the water ". This was the result of his careful consideration.
In fact, Liu Xun had gained some insights when he was practicing at the Green Dragon Pool in Jiameng Pass. However, he did not have the cultivation method of the " Power Swallowing the World " at that time, so he did not understand many things.
" Let's find a big waterfall. It's best if it's one with an imposing aura and sounds that can be heard for miles. There's a pool below," Liu Xun muttered to himself." The only place that fits this condition is the Black Dragon Pool that's half a mile away."
He immediately called for his trusted soldiers and instructed," I'm going to the Black Dragon Pond to train. If General Zhang Ren and Fa Zheng have any problems, come find me there." After saying that, Liu Xun rushed to the Black Dragon Pond.
The Black Dragon Pond was not inferior to the Green Dragon Pond. The surrounding scenery was beautiful. The mountains were clear and the water was beautiful. Birds were chirping and the fragrance of flowers was fragrant. A large waterfall rumbled down and there was a deep pool below. The water in the pool was turbulent and the waves were rolling.
" A good place." Liu Xun sighed and jumped into the pool. He started to dance with his fists and legs. He did this almost every day for two months.
After training his fists and feet, he started practicing his spear techniques. Originally, Liu Xun was a saber user. However, after learning Zuo Ci's mystical skills, he began to understand that he was not suitable to practice the saber. If he practiced spear techniques instead, it would be easier for him to understand the 'force' of the technique.
After two months of practice, Liu Xun's fists, legs, and spear techniques had made great progress. He had already broken through to the True Force realm.
Today, the sun was shining brightly. He had to deal with government affairs in the morning and had been delayed for some time. Seeing that it was almost noon and there was nothing to do, he came to the Black Dragon Pond to practice his boxing. It was a habit, so Liu Xun jumped into the water.
Suddenly, a graceful figure emerged from the water.
Liu Xun withdrew his momentum in time. In his panic, he grabbed two balls of soft warmth with his claws. His entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and he felt numb.
