Li Xuan flipped through the ancient leather book, page by page, for a total of eighteen pages, each page depicting a pattern.
But each page seemed to be a type of terrain or other pattern at a first glance. Upon a second look, it looked as if it was drawn randomly.
When he looked at it a third time, it seemed to transform into yet another pattern.
The more he looked, the more confusing it became, the more unclear it got, he even wasn’t sure what exactly was depicted.
“This book has something special, but I can’t understand it.”
Li Xuan sank into deep thought.
He closed the ancient leather book, staring at the two words “Taicang”, he couldn’t help but wonder, “What does ‘Taicang’ mean?”
Li Xuan couldn’t resist, he opened the ancient leather book to look again, this time he felt that the patterns drawn in the book seemed a bit different.
The drawings clearly hadn’t changed.
“Could it be some kind of martial arts technique? But it’s too esoteric, my realm of understanding can’t comprehend the hidden depth?”
Li Xuan was puzzled.
“If it really is a martial arts technique, wouldn’t it be even stronger than the martial arts I’ve created?”
He flipped through the ancient leather book again.
“It doesn’t look like a martial arts technique, how come it feels more like a map?”
He closed the ancient leather book and put it away.
Playing with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, squinting slightly, he recalled the content of the ancient leather book, pondering carefully.
As a result, Li Xuan was surprised to discover that whenever he remembered, the patterns outlined in the ancient leather book seemed to be different, as if they were constantly changing.
“Strange, what on earth is this?”
Li Xuan frowned and couldn’t help but take out the ancient leather book to read it again.
Just as before, the first time he looked at it, and the second time he looked at it, it seemed a bit different, yet he couldn’t explain why it gave him a different feeling.
“There’s something odd about this old leather book, it doesn’t look like a technique, it doesn’t feel like a map, and it’s not like a talisman either, it’s so strange. Maybe when my power increases, I’ll be able to see something.”
Li Xuan muttered, Meng Chong couldn’t understand. In his view, they were just some drawings, without any meaning.
“I wonder if my eldest disciple, Xu Yan, can figure something out.”
Li Xuan fell into deep thought.
If Xu Yan could perceive something, would the Golden Finger give him some feedback?
It’s hard to say.
After all, he didn’t draw the patterns on the ancient leather book.
“Let Xu Yan take a look.”
Li Xuan had made up his mind.
Xu Yan is such a freak, he might be able to see something.
The day after Meng Chong returned, Xu Yan also came back from Donghe County. With his aid of Sword Intent, Xu Junhe had already begun refining impurities.
The strength of Xu Family was increasing, and the speed was not slow.
Li Xuan was sitting in a chair, with a pile of books on the table next to him. At the moment, he was reading a book about elixirs.
“The frontier areas have no concept of elixirs, only some simple potions, and they don’t have the theory of the Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Guide…”
The more Li Xuan read, the more he felt that his new conception of martial arts system was feasible.
The ancient leather book was on the table.
Xu Yan came to greet him: “Master!”
Li Xuan nodded, Xu Yan’s gaze was drawn to the ancient leather book.
“Master, what is this book?”
As a fan of storybooks, he had read too many storybooks. If we were to talk about familiarity with storybooks, probably no one could beat him.
This ancient leather book looked like it had a unique version at first glance.
He immediately became interested.
“You take a look.”
Li Xuan said casually.
Xu Yan excitedly picked up the ancient leather book.
“Taicang?”
He saw the two big characters on the cover of the ancient leather book and curiously asked, “Master, what is Taicang?”
“When your strength and realm have reached, you naturally know when it’s time to know.”
Li Xuan said perfunctorily.
Xu Yan opened the ancient leather book and looked at the lines on it. They were twisted and distorted, but seemed to have definite patterns, and numerous lines drew an unknown shape.
It looked a bit like a map.
Or was it some type of terrain?
He couldn’t understand, so he turned to the second page, the third page…
After reading the entire ancient leather book, Xu Yan was all puzzled and asked, “Master, what are these lines? Are they drawings of a treasure map?”
His eyes lit up as he finished.
Seeing Xu Yan’s expression, Li Xuan knew that he couldn’t figure anything out either, and he didn’t even notice that the patterns in the ancient leather book were a bit special.
He only saw the simple lines.
“Even my disciple can’t understand this. Is it because his realm is too low?
Never mind, I’ll just keep it.”
That was what Li Xuan thought.
Taking the ancient leather book in hand, he said, “When your strength and realm have reached, you may understand.”
“Don’t think too much, working intensively on cultivation is the right way, consolidate your Innate Realm, and in a few days, your master will teach you the techniques beyond the Innate.”
Li Xuan knew his disciple had a wild imagination, to prevent him from wasting time in blind speculation and getting distracted from his cultivation, so he added.
“Yes, Master!”
Xu Yan didn’t think too much either. After his greeting, he went outside the city to practice, exchanging insights about the Eight Diagrams with Meng Chong.
The capital city of Qi Country.
Xie Lingfeng had always been meditating on the theory that Xu Yan had mentioned. To achieve a clear understanding of the sword spirit, the first step is to have a clear state of mind, untroubled by external things.
What kind of mentality is it to have no women in mind?
“It seems to have no women in mind, but it doesn’t mean to really abandon women, but rather not to be disturbed by external things? What kind of artistic conception is this exactly?”
Xie Lingfeng was wearing a face of confusion.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to understand somewhat, yet he also seemed not to.
“My comprehension is too poor. Brother Xu has already explained it so clearly
and intelligibly, but I still can’t comprehend..”
