Chapter 40 Golden Bell Cover, Disguise and Incarnation Technique
[The Yi Jin Jing has been successfully entered. Max level requirements:]
1. Circulate the meridian diagram 3,600 times. (Incomplete)
2. Read and memorize at least thirty Buddhist scriptures. (Incomplete)
3. Cultivate at least thirty Buddhist techniques to the maximum level. (Incomplete)
Seeing the three maximum level requirements for the Yi Jin Jing on the system panel in front of me.
The first one was easy to complete, but the second and third conditions forced me to make a trip to a Buddhist temple.
In Li Xiuyuan's memory, this body knew very little about the martial arts world outside Yuanguang City.
With a long sigh, the monk Suixin, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled.
"You, kid, haven't you already mastered the basics of the Yi Jin Jing? Why are you sighing?"
Just moments ago, Monk Suixin was thinking that circulating the complete version of the Yi Jin Jing through one cycle was extremely complicated. Even when he was practicing it back then, with the blessing of the incomplete version of the Yi Jin Jing he had practiced, it still took him three days and three nights to truly grasp the basics.
But Li Xiuyuan, who was standing right in front of him, had just clearly sensed that the internal energy had been circulating right before his eyes, and that his internal energy was generating spontaneously in his dantian and that his muscles and bones were resonating. This was clearly a sign of entering the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).
"Hmm? Master Suixin, you mean you've mastered the Yi Jin Jing after just one cycle?"
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan looked at the monk Suixin in front of him, dressed in fine clothes. Hearing his words, Li Xiuyuan naturally couldn't let him know that the reason for his sigh was that the conditions for reaching the maximum level of the Yi Jin Jing were making things a bit difficult for him.
As for the basics, how could he not know them?
The requirement for entering a cultivation technique into the system at the maximum level is to be a beginner.
The fact that the system had just entered the knowledge meant that he had already entered the basics of the Yi Jin Jing. More importantly, during the system entry process, Li Xiuyuan could clearly feel that his dantian seemed to expand instantly.
One by one, streams of incredibly pure internal energy spontaneously generated, and the meridians were further expanded and deepened under the impact of this internal energy.
"You... kid, come on, sit down quickly and follow the meridian chart to circulate your energy for me, let me see..."
Li Xiuyuan did not hesitate. He needed to complete the cycle 3,600 times so he could estimate the time required to meet this condition.
With eyes closed, internal energy began to surge from the dantian and circulate throughout the body.
As Li Xiuyuan circulated his internal energy according to the meridian diagram of the Yi Jin Jing, he was able to sense the changes in his body's aura. Some of the hidden ailments he had previously suffered from were gradually eliminated as he circulated his internal energy.
Standing there, the monk Suixin, dressed in fine clothes, saw Li Xiuyuan sitting cross-legged practicing the Yi Jin Jing. His eyes went from initial shock and disbelief to admiration, then to envy and worship, and now he was completely dumbfounded!
Seeing Li Xiuyuan sitting cross-legged, circulating his internal energy faster and faster, Monk Suixin was completely dumbfounded.
He has been practicing the Yi Jin Jing for over twenty years and has only achieved great success, but even so, he is already among the most talented in Buddhism.
But recalling that after I first started learning the Yi Jin Jing, it would take me a full quarter of an hour, or even longer, to complete one cycle.
Furthermore, one cannot cultivate continuously; at most, one can circulate the energy for two or three cycles before needing to rest.
But this Li Xiuyuan...
Li Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes when the morning glow illuminated the mountain peak.
Looking at the number following the first condition for reaching the maximum level of Yi Jin Jing on the panel in front of him.
It only ran for less than 300 times in one night.
If one cultivates at this pace day and night for 3,600 repetitions, it would take six days.
Fortunately, after running it all night, Li Xiuyuan discovered that as he became more proficient, the speed of operation increased.
"Hey kid, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
While speaking, he ignored Li Xiuyuan's attempts to stop him and directly grabbed Li Xiuyuan's wrist.
"I'm fine, I don't feel anything else. If I had to describe a feeling, I'd say I've become stronger!"
"What you...you're right!"
The monk Suixin, who also sensed the changes in Li Xiuyuan's body, almost gritted his teeth and took a deep breath after hearing Li Xiuyuan's words.
He was cursing inwardly.
How can Li Xiuyuan's aptitude be so terrifying? Wasn't the news that he was a cultivation failure with blocked meridians?
Could it be... that he's been hiding his true abilities all along?
"Kid, you're doing well in your cultivation. Now that you've mastered the Yi Jin Jing."
"This humble monk is also preparing to leave Yunzhou. I have come to entrust the Yi Jin Jing to you."
"Oh? Master Suixin, are you leaving already?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, muttering to himself:
"Shouldn't they stay here to protect me and help me solve my current troubles? Aren't many of the novels I read before I transmigrated like that?"
"What are you muttering about? I promised your mother, Xiuhong, that I would give you this Yi Jin Jing and protect you until you reach the first level of cultivation."
Now that you've entered the path, it's time for this humble monk to leave. As for the trouble you've gotten yourself into, you'll have to resolve it yourself.
As he spoke, the monk looked at the distant sunrise and softened his tone:
"However, back then, I made a bet with Benefactor Xiuhong that if you could master the Yi Jin Jing within three days, I would give you another skill that I practice."
As he spoke, he casually took out a scroll of martial arts manual that he had prepared before leaving home.
Li Xiuyuan took it and looked at it.
The inscription above reads "Golden Bell Cover".
"This Golden Bell Shield is a sixth-grade martial art. Yesterday at the inn, when you turned to attack me, this was the martial art I used."
This protective technique is perfect for you!
Li Xiuyuan nodded, agreeing.
Although Li Xiuyuan possessed the max-level Iron Shirt technique, it was only an eighth-grade skill.
Encountering a seventh-rank official can harm one.
Not to mention the sixth rank, Guan Hongtao's sword strike that night is a prime example.
Therefore, this sixth-rank "Golden Bell Cover" technique is exactly what Li Xiuyuan needs right now.
But Li Xiuyuan also wanted to obtain the disguise technique practiced by the monk Suixin.
After casually flipping through the Golden Bell Cover, Li Xiuyuan, whose Iron Shirt skill was at its maximum level, was surprised to find that the two protective techniques were actually of the same lineage.
He immediately started thinking about it.
"Master Sui Xin, how about we make a bet?"
"A bet? Between you and this humble monk?"
Upon hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Sui Xin couldn't help but look astonished.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, then smiled and said:
"Exactly! Let's bet on whether I can master this Golden Bell Shield technique within a day, no, three hours!"
"Three hours to master the Golden Bell Shield?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Master Sui Xin, are you afraid to gamble with a mere youth like me?"
Monk Suixin frowned slightly as he looked at Li Xiuyuan.
The Golden Bell Cover technique is not a powerful martial art for Sui Xin now, but it took him a full half month to master it when he first started practicing it.
He then spent two years cultivating before achieving minor success, and even now he has only achieved major success, not yet truly perfect.
As for the Golden Bell Shield, a sixth-grade martial art, even the most talented martial artist below the sixth grade would absolutely not be able to master it within three hours.
If Li Xiuyuan had said three days, Sui Xin would have considered it, but after only three hours, Sui Xin immediately burst into laughter:
"Dare not? Boy, come on, tell me, if you lose, what benefits will you give this humble monk?"
Seeing that the bait had been taken, Li Xiuyuan immediately grinned.
"I've lost, so I'll leave myself to Master Suixin's disposal. I'll do whatever you tell me to do, even if it means becoming a monk with you!"
"Okay, this is good..."
Upon hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Sui Xin immediately had a thought. This kid had mastered the Yi Jin Jing after just one cycle, proving that it was a perfect Buddhist practice for him.
If I could take on an apprentice like that in the future, wouldn't that be...?
Just thinking about doing whatever I want feels great.
But then Li Xiuyuan's voice rang out again:
"What if the kid wins by sheer luck?"
"Win? Haha, kid, if you can master the Golden Bell Shield technique in three hours, you can take whatever this humble monk has!"
Li Xiuyuan nodded immediately upon hearing this.
"Alright, if I win the bet, I want the 'Disguise and Incarnation Technique' that Master Suixin has been practicing!"
After saying that, Li Xiuyuan didn't wait for Suixin to speak again. He immediately flashed into the air, sat cross-legged, and began to read the cultivation method of "Golden Bell Cover".
Although Li Xiuyuan was very confident in himself when he first took over the technique and casually flipped through it.
But he still couldn't be careless. At this moment, he put in the same effort he had when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, focusing all his energy on the cultivation method in his hands.
Just as Sui Xin was about to say something, she saw Li Xiuyuan, who was already engrossed in reading "Golden Bell Cover".
He immediately shut up.
Actually, he was also thinking about something: was Li Xiuyuan really someone with heaven-defying cultivation talent?
Or is all of this because of that "Absorption Technique"?
You should know that he had spent several months in seclusion practicing the Absorption Technique, and he had already mastered all the techniques.
After mastering the complete version of the Yi Jin Jing, he tried many times, but still had no clue.
While countless thoughts were popping into his mind, Li Xiuyuan had already entered a state of cultivation.
Having mastered the Iron Shirt skill to its maximum level, his mastery of the Golden Bell Shield was merely a matter of familiarizing himself with the more complex meridian pathways, and then easily mastering it by expending his energy.
To Li Xiuyuan's surprise, after he tried running it a few times, a notification sound rang in his ear:
[The Golden Bell Shield skill has been successfully entered. Max level requirements:]
1. Mastered the defensive technique "Iron Shirt" to the maximum level. (Completed)
2. Use the Golden Bell Shield to withstand at least three thousand attacks! (Incomplete)
3. Master more than three martial arts techniques, including fist techniques, leg techniques, and finger techniques, and cultivate them to the maximum level! (Incomplete)
Upon opening his eyes and seeing the three conditions for reaching the maximum level of "Golden Bell Cover," Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile confidently.
Once this skill reaches its maximum level, I won't be afraid of Shangguan Hongtao anymore.
Thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan stood up.
As the internal energy circulated within his body, a faint protective shield rapidly condensed around him.
"this……"
Upon seeing the young figure before him, a faint golden bell-shaped phantom suddenly appeared around him.
Although the phantom quickly dissipated.
But at that moment, Sui Xin was completely stunned.
He considered himself a martial arts genius, and after mastering the Yi Jin Jing, Monk Sui Xin's martial arts talent reached a level he never dared to imagine.
Even so, he dared not say that he could master the "Golden Bell Cover" technique in three hours.
But Li Xiuyuan, who had only been in contact with the Golden Bell Shield for a little over an hour, had not only mastered the basics but was also able to condense a layer of illusory protective shield!
Is this even human?
Suddenly, the word flashed through Sui Xin's mind.
He really wants to swear right now!
"Master Sui Xin, I..."
"Don't speak. I didn't bring the 'Disguise and Incarnation Technique' with me, but I've mastered it to a high level. I'll just tell you verbally. However, I'll only say it three times. If you still don't understand after that, you can ask again."
As he spoke, Sui Xin immediately reached out and grabbed Li Xiuyuan. With a swift movement, the two disappeared from the mountain peak.
"Master Sui Xin, where are we going?"
"A change of scenery, a change of mood!"
Without even glancing at Li Xiuyuan, Sui Xin grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand and unconsciously tightened his grip, his speed suddenly increasing several times over...
