Chapter 332: Chapter 271: Perfected Viscera Canon, Clarity of Heart, Qi Lake Transformation, Peerless Beauty

Li Xian’s Qi Lake surged, and inside his body, a wild storm raged with thunderous roars. Li Xian stood proudly, sensing the changes within. His long hair fluttered, radiating a crimson glow.

He was like an immortal, like a deity, with a rare beauty and unmatched elegance. His physique grew more perfect, which explained Wen Caishang’s infatuation. He exhaled white mist that swirled around him, condensing without dispersing.

The Qi Lake transformed.

Inner Qi absorbed more insights from all things, enhancing various martial arts and martial disciplines by several degrees. Li Xian seized this opportunity to cleanse his organs, achieving remarkable effects.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the hour of Yin and Mao. People gathered on the deck, practicing martial arts and accumulating Inner Qi. Li Xian found an empty spot, resumed practicing "Pan Chang Xiaobu," invigorating his Qi-Blood and relaxing his muscles and bones.

Then he switched to practice "Flying Snake Hand." Flying Snake Hand focused on softness and viciousness. Each move struck at vulnerable spots, achieving unexpected results. Li Xian had reached the peak in basic martial arts, easily understanding related techniques, advancing quickly with Flying Snake Hand.

...

The accumulation of True Martial Intent grew stronger, accelerating the practice speed. The hour of Yin had just passed, yet Li Xian already mastered it, achieving evident progress, and the Qi Lake expanded slightly.

He felt quite pleased. Despite Flying Snake Hand being basic, even a slight improvement was visible. With daily accumulation, one could eventually scale the ten-thousand-mile peak.

Li Xian practiced tirelessly, forgetting himself in intense training. Normally, even Flower Cage Sect’s registered disciples would have rested and chatted. Yet, Li Xian continued without pause, repeatedly performing martial arts techniques.

Ye Cheng watched from the third floor, nodding silently. Qiao Sanyan, seeing Li Xian’s dedication, initially intended to rest but forced himself to continue despite fatigue.

So it went, and the hour of Mao passed by.

Satisfied with the progress, Li Xian leaned on the railing, gazing at the river. It was deep night, the moon was bright, and the river waves sparkled with light.

The river wind blew, feeling as if being on the sea. Li Xian opened his chest, letting the wind blow away his sweat and heat, feeling quite comfortable.

He couldn’t help but feel that the world grew larger with higher mountains and wider rivers, making people seem smaller. Beneath the waves and river surface, dangerous currents lurked.

Suddenly, he heard several thudding sounds as the boat anchored, stopping at the center of the river. Ye Cheng called out, "Everyone should go clean up!"

The disciples of Flower Cage Sect undressed and removed their shoes and socks, jumping into the river to swim and bathe. Li Xian, showing signs of Martial Arts Second Realm, feared water like fire. He only watched from the deck, not joining the swimming.

The sky gradually brightened.

Li Xian returned to his room to rest. Sitting cross-legged, he practiced Inner Cultivation, contemplating a perfect escape strategy. Nourishing his Qi-Blood, time slipped away, and it was noon again.

He thought, "Roaming Jianghu cannot be easy. With no good plan, I might as well make the best of the situation as it is."

In the hall, Li Xian brought some dishes and ate alone. The food was acceptable today, with two pieces of fatty meat. Recalling his days among the servants, he finished all the food.

Then he carried the food box down to the lower level. Among Flower Cage Sect disciples, discussions were rife: "The newcomer is not to be trifled with; seems to have joined with prior skill." "Yes, just watching him walk, you know he’s solid as a rock." "Ah, he’s handsome too; no reasoning there. Those two poisonous flowers are willing to let him serve them drinks." "I reckon he’s close to promotion too."

...

In the Mystic Iron Prison, Nangong Liuli and Bian Qiaoqiao hung silently, already asleep. Their embarrassed appearance remained unchanged.

Li Xian lightly coughed twice. Nangong Liuli and Bian Qiaoqiao awoke. Since they were hung here, they had never been released. Swaying with the ship, they endured unspeakable grievances.

Due to the cabin’s darkness and dim lights, they couldn’t tell time. Seeing Li Xian with the food box, they realized another day had passed.

Nangong Liuli felt weary mentally, thinking time passed swiftly and yet slowly. She glared angrily at Li Xian, murmuring curses as a grandson thief.

Li Xian untied the iron chains and entered the prison. He held the two women’s chins and lightly channeled Qi, releasing them from their gag, and the walnut-sized gag fell away. Nangong Liuli and Bian Qiaoqiao turned her head aside, cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

Li Xian laughed, "Did you sleep well?" Nangong Liuli replied coldly, "Whether well or not, it concerns you not. Just feed the lady grandma food and drink."

Li Xian said, "Why be angry? I find you bored and idle, so I use the meal time to chat and relieve your boredom."

Nangong Liuli said, "We have nothing to say to you." Bian Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement. Normally genteel, Nangong Liuli often showed elegance, but her words, full of scorn, were sharp and firm.

Li Xian said, "I doubt it." Leisurely, he opened the food box, introducing each dish.

Li Xian smiled, "Let’s feed Sister Bian first today." Bian Qiaoqiao scolded, "Who is your Sister Bian? Shame on you."

Li Xian used chopsticks to pick food, feeding it into her mouth. Bian Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, swallowed, chewed slowly, eating felt strange. She scrutinized Li Xian, noticing his handsome appearance and simple clothes, lacking the crude air despite being among Flower Cage Sect.

Bian Qiaoqiao said, "Hey, why did you join Flower Cage Sect? Why not release me? I’ll recommend you to join Daoxuan Mountain?"

Nangong Liuli sighed lightly, "My silly sister, saying such foolish things."

Li Xian, curious about Daoxuan Mountain, took the chance to ask, "Daoxuan Mountain? Never heard of it; could it be half as formidable as my Flower Cage Sect?"

Bian Qiaoqiao angrily replied, "Your ragtag sect dares to compare with my Daoxuan Mountain? Ha, that’s truly laughable."

Nangong Liuli was silent. Daoxuan Mountain truly was powerful, yet Flower Cage Sect also was not ordinary. Li Xian said, "Really? Perhaps not that impressive."

Bian Qiaoqiao said, "My Daoxuan Mountain is full of talents, producing countless elites, well-known across the Southern Celestial Domain and even the vast Dynasty. Known as the rightful master of martial arts, unmatched in the Northern Domain’s Buddha Temple and the Southern Domain’s Daoxuan mountain."

Li Xian scoffed, "You faltering with fame! Given my strength, I might just beat every young talent of Daoxuan Mountain."
