Made-Up Martial Arts, Have You Really Mastered Them, Disciple? Chapter 20: Gold bones are not in Master’s eyes, I want to make them into jade bones

Li Xuan didn't know that Xu Yan had already tempered the golden bones he had made up, and was coming over excitedly to tell him that he wanted to get praise and recognition.

At this time, Li Xuan was playing with the gifts Xu Yan gave him last time, a golden sword and jade Ruyi.

The golden sword is inlaid with orbs, made entirely of gold, and is extremely valuable.

The jade Ruyi is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, and the whole body is flawless. At first glance, it is carved from the best jade. In terms of value, I am afraid it is still higher than the golden sword.

"Although this golden sword is of high value, no matter how I look at it, I think jade Ruyi is more valuable and rarer.

“Look at the texture of this jade. It is flawless and crystal clear. It feels warm and moist when you touch it in your hand... I like this jade Ruyi better than the golden sword.

"It would be great if we could get a pair together as family heirlooms.

"I've already been lied to anyway, so I don't care. Why don't I just cheat another piece of jade Ruyi?"

Li Xuan played with Yu Ruyi, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Muttering in my heart, I asked my silly apprentice to find another jade Ruyi to make a pair as a family heirloom.

Just then, Xu Yan came over.

"Disciple, you came just in time."

Li Xuan pulled the golden sword aside, as if he was a little disgusted, playing with Yu Ruyi in his hand, his eyes full of love for Yu Ruyi.

"Look at this Ruyi jade, which is flawless, gentle and nourishing. As the saying goes, a gentleman likes jade, and a teacher is also a person who likes jade. It would be great if we could get a pair of these jade Ruyi."

Looked up at Xu Yan and said, "Disciple, do you understand?"

I thought to myself: Let me find another jade Ruyi for my teacher.

Xu Yan came here excitedly to tell his master that he had made a golden bone and was as good as the geniuses of ancient times.

As a result, Li Xuan was a little disgusted when he saw it, so he pulled the golden sword aside and played with Yu Ruyi in his hand.

He said that a gentleman likes jade and hopes that Yu Ruyi can make a couple.

Xu Yan thought to himself that next time he goes home, he will find another piece of jade for his master.

But suddenly my heart thumped: "No! How could Master tell me at this time that I like jade?"

"There must be a deeper meaning in Master's words...

"I understand. Master has high expectations for me and hopes that I can make jade bones, so I use jade as a metaphor. Compared to gold bones, master prefers jade bones!

"But Master was afraid that I wouldn't be able to accept the difficulty of tempering jade bones, so he used the metaphor of jade to remind me. If I couldn't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master would no longer be demanding...

"In this case, although Master didn't say it, he must be disappointed with me in his heart. If I couldn't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master would also lower his expectations of me, thinking that I didn't have enough understanding to even do such a simple thing. I don’t even understand the metaphors!”

Xu Yan thought for a moment and felt that the master wanted to get a pair of jade bones, but in fact he wanted him to continue refining bones, not to give up, not to back down, and to work hard to make jade bones.

If Li Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely be confused: I just simply want Yu Ruyi!

After Xu Yan thought about it for a while, he thought he understood the meaning of the master's words, and said firmly: "Master, I understand, I will not let you down!"

Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile: "As long as you understand, I believe in you!"

Xu Yan was deeply moved: "Master has very high expectations for me. He hopes that I can surpass the geniuses of ancient times!"

"Gold bones don't matter, I want to make them into jade bones!"

Xu Yan did not mention the matter of his golden bones again. The master had already understood everything, and the mere golden bones could not get into the eyes of the master!

Practice again and want to continue refining bones. Xu Yan found that no matter how he circulated his energy and blood or tempered it, it had no effect.

It seems that the golden bone has reached its limit.

There seems to be an insurmountable chasm that blocks continued improvement.

"Master said that jade bones cannot be made by talent, perseverance, or persistence. Those who can become jade bones must either have great luck, be the darling of heaven and earth, or have transcendent understanding and be able to sense the great truth..."

Xu Yan pondered: "I don't know if I have great luck, maybe not; I am the darling of heaven and earth, even less likely. Then there is only one way, and that is understanding...

"Master often said that emphasizing meaning and enlightenment is to make me think that my understanding is not bad and remind me where my strengths are.

"If I want to temper jade bones, I can only rely on my understanding."

After thinking about it, Xu Yan's mind once again resurfaced with the two sentences of "Keeping a clear mind and observing me to cultivate my true intention, my energy and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body."

"I must not have fully understood. If I could understand the core of these two techniques, would it be possible to break the shackles of the golden bone and temper the jade bone?"

Xu Yan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the technique. He had no distracting thoughts and abandoned everything.

"By the way, cultivating the true meaning, I think that if the qi and blood are stored in the bones and in the bone marrow, then we are cultivating the true meaning. But where is the 'meaning'?

“Cultivating the bone marrow is just an introduction, it does not cultivate the intention.”

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xu Yan's mind, and he discovered that he had made a mistake regarding the cultivation of true meaning in the technique.

I have never developed my true meaning.

It’s even unclear what ‘meaning’ is.

"The Qi and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body. When I refine the gold bones, the Qi and blood that circulates are really like a dragon? It is just an empty, empty appearance, and there is no dragon of Qi and blood that contains the 'meaning'. How can it be considered a dragon?"

In a daze, Xu Yan felt as if he had touched a barrier.

As long as this barrier is broken, one can fully understand the skills and find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to break through the shackles of the golden bone and enter the jade bone stage.

However, this barrier has never been broken.

He became a little troubled for a moment.

"Do you want to ask Master for advice?

"No, Master has taught me very clearly that the 'meaning' can only be understood by oneself. If it cannot be expressed clearly, I must have missed something..."

In the next three days, Xu Yan was practicing, constantly comprehending the techniques, and always wanted to understand the "true meaning", but he was often just a little short.

I have never been able to break through the barrier and understand the essence.

Li Xuan looked at his stupid apprentice with some doubts. In the past three days, the stupid apprentice seemed to be a little distracted, and occasionally seemed to be in a daze.

“It’s been so long and I haven’t gained anything, so you’re at a loss? Do you think you can’t do it anymore?”

"I haven't gotten my jade Ruyi yet, how can I stay depressed?"

"Let me think about how to make up some mysterious words to fool him."

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

On this day, after eating, when Xu Yan was preparing to clear away the dishes, Li Xuan spoke: "Persistence is essential during the journey of cultivation. If you find that you have encountered a bottleneck and there is no progress, you can relax. Empty your mind and understand every plant and tree.

“To understand the nature of heaven and earth, and capture the hidden inspirations around you. If you can suddenly realize it, the door to martial arts will open.

"Throughout the ages, there have been many people who made no progress in their cultivation and were stuck at a bottleneck and could not break through. However, they broke through the shackles because of a sudden enlightenment."

Li Xuan opened his eyes and told lies, tricking Xu Yan into realizing the so-called inspiration. If he could achieve enlightenment, he would be able to step into the gate of martial arts.

Since ascetic practice is not enough, then go for enlightenment.
