Taiping Inn

In Beimang County, after Li Xuandu dissolved the power of the Changsheng Spring, he felt that the pain in his internal organs was much relieved, and the serious injuries to his meridians had healed. He couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of a large sect. If such injuries were placed on ordinary Jianghu wanderers, they might be a chronic disease that would be difficult to heal in a lifetime. But with the Changsheng Spring, it only took a few hours to recover. It can be said that there is a world of difference.

It is no wonder that many Jianghu wanderers envy and hate the disciples of the sects, but it is not easy to say what is right and wrong. It can only be said that the predecessors planted the trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Every drink and every bite is already determined.

Li Xuandu looked at the palm with the "Black Jade Paste" again. As Mrs. Lu said, it was not difficult to grow bones. New flesh and blood had grown. The new skin was white and rosy, just like the palm of a baby. I don't know how many women would envy it. However, this method of "growing flesh" requires first removing all the flesh and blood from the palm of your hand, and then applying the "Black Jade Paste" which is worth a thousand gold coins. No woman can do it easily.

Li Xuandu moved his five fingers. Although the five fingers were new and born from the same body, they were not very compatible with the old flesh and blood. For example, the flesh and blood of other parts of the body were veterans who had fought hundreds of battles and had their own killing spirit, while the newly born flesh and blood were new soldiers who had just joined the army. Naturally, there was a clear difference. It would take a few more days of "training" before it could be of great use.

At this time, there were still several hours left before the twelve-hour limit mentioned by Mrs. Lu, so Li Xuandu took the "White Bone Wonderful Flower Venerable" out of the "Eighteenth Floor" and began to study it with the "Refining Power Method" in the "Xuanwei Zhenshu".

"Xuanwei Zhenshu" encompasses everything, and there are a total of nine methods, namely: "Gathering Power Method", "Dispersing Power Method", "Turning Power Method", "Looking at Power Method", "Refining Power Method", "Circular Power Method", "Controlling Power Method", "Correcting Power Method", and "Fixing Power Method", each with its own wonderful uses, not inferior to the "Taishang Dan Jing". Among them, the "Refining Power Method" is used to refine and control magic weapons. If you practice to a high level, even if you rob others' treasures for your own use, it is just ordinary.

When Li Xuandu was young, he learned swordsmanship and had few rivals among his peers. Later, when he traveled in the martial arts world, he was able to dominate the world with just one sword. Therefore, he did not care about these material things and did not practice the "refining method". Now, he was sharpening his sword before the battle, but he was helpless against this "White Bone Wonderful Huazun". It was like a young man with poor skills trying to seduce a mature woman who was used to seeing all kinds of men, but he was really incapable of it.

Just when Li Xuandu was about to take the "White Bone Wonderful Hua Zun" back to the "Eighteenth Floor", he suddenly heard someone beside him say: "It's better to refine it early. When we get to Beimang Mountain, it will be an extra help."

Li Xuandu stopped what he was doing and turned his head to see Mrs. Lu holding a pipe and puffing out smoke. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "When I first met Mrs. Lu, why didn't I see that you were still a smoker."

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at him: "What is a smoker?"

Li Xuandu said: "People who are addicted to alcohol are called alcoholics, people who are addicted to gambling are called gamblers, and people who are addicted to smoking are naturally smokers."

Mrs. Lu leaned diagonally on the stone lion behind Li Xuandu and smiled faintly: "In addition to liking to smoke, I also like to eat melon seeds. Does eating melon seeds mean being a melon seed addict?"

Li Xuandu, who was sitting cross-legged, leaned slightly to the side Looking from this direction, the proprietress's face could not be seen because it was blocked by a pair of towering trees. Li Xuandu quickly retracted his sight and said, "It's a pity that there are too few people who love melon seeds, otherwise there might really be a melon seed ghost."

Mrs. Lu glanced at Li Xuandu, who was sitting upright, and seemed to be unaware of the previous glance. She said, "Let's talk about business. You'd better refine this 'White Bone Wonderful Hua Zun' as soon as possible. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Li Xuandu nodded and began to ask Mrs. Lu about several key nodes of the "White Bone Wonderful Hua Zun" in front of him. A top-grade treasure is like a person's Qi refining. There are also various meridians and acupoints. It requires a step-by-step approach and cannot be done blindly. If you don't know the mystery, it will take a lot of effort. If Li Xuandu is left to slowly explore it alone, it will probably take a lot of time. Mrs. Lu was different. She was born in the Taiping Sect and was proficient in refining weapons. She was an expert in this field. If she had given guidance, Li Xuandu would have avoided many detours.

Mrs. Lu answered all of Li Xuandu's questions one by one. She was indeed a master in this field. She could often draw inferences from one question raised by Li Xuandu and deduce several other questions that Li Xuandu himself was not aware of, and answered them together.

Li Xuandu didn't say much about this matter, he just nodded and said yes, otherwise how can we say "there are different levels of learning, and different skills and professions have different specializations."

A sufficiently mature and stable sect cannot have only a group of people who fight and kill, just like the imperial court, which cannot have only military generals who fight the world, but also civil officials who rule the world. Even if the martial arts style is more popular in the martial arts world, there cannot be no "civil officials" at all. Mrs. Lu's status in the Taiping Sect is roughly like this, so she herself is not good at fighting. This time she appeared here, not to fight with the Zaoge Sect, but to change the dragon vein and earth energy of Beimang Mountain. The same is true for Nan Kezi of the Donghua Sect, so people in the martial arts world do not completely distinguish their status based on their martial arts.

Of course, the martial arts world will inevitably be determined by hands, so the leader of a sect must be someone who can support the sect, that is, someone with higher martial arts, which is also the reason why Li Xuandu and others are more famous in the martial arts world.

However, these reputations are only meaningful to the small fish and shrimp in the Jianghu. The big fish who can really enter the circle of the "bottom of the lake" in the Jianghu will not take these false names too seriously. Just like Li Xuandu's return to the Jianghu this time, at first glance, it seems to be because of the title of Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in the past, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually because of Li Xuandu's master and the current situation in the Jianghu, which has nothing to do with the title of Purple Mansion Sword Immortal. In other words, even if Li Xuandu has never made the name of Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, as long as he has the possibility to change the current situation, he can also receive such courtesy.

Confucian scholars have long made it clear what the Jianghu is. Living far away from the temple is the Jianghu.

It is said that the temple is dirty, and the Jianghu is clean? The temple also emphasizes killing without blood, and everything must have a crime. The Jianghu is directly a white knife in and a red knife out. It is said that you can kill your whole family without conviction. How can it be cleaner than the temple?

If the temple is not free, can the Jianghu be free? If you are free, why do you have to say "you can't help yourself in the world".

In the temple and the world, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. He is nothing more than a hypocrite and a real villain. Although hypocrites are hateful, it does not mean that real villains are much better.

Li Xuandu has been in the world for more than ten years. He dare not say that he has seen it through completely, but he probably has a good idea of ​​it, so he naturally became an old man in the world.

Old men in the world can hardly escape the rut of fame and fortune, and even more difficult to escape the bondage of the network of human relationships.

The free and unrestrained Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in the past is afraid that it will be hard to return, and I don’t know when and where he can return.

Under the guidance of Madam Lu, Li Xuandu spent about two hours to successfully refine the "White Bone Wonderful Hua Zun". In this way, he owed Madam Lu a favor. It was not pleasant to owe favors. Just as Li Xuandu said to Su Yunjiao, all opportunities have been marked with prices in the dark. If you take it today, you will have to pay it back tomorrow.

I give you a copy of the "Taishang Dan Jing" today, but maybe I will ask you to fight with evil demons tomorrow. Who can tell? Li Xuandu accepted the recipe of the "Five Qi True Pill" today and monopolized the "White Bone Wonderful Hua Zun". Although he made a lot of efforts, it was still a gift from others, and he had to pay it back in the future.

This is the human relationship and courtesy in the world.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu couldn't help sighing in his heart.

As Li Xuandu's mind moved, the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the white bone throne also spread his hands and shook his head and sighed.

Li Xuan, who happened to see this scene, couldn't help but smile: "It's quite interesting."
