Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King

Li Xian fully recovered from his injuries, finally free of worries, and slept soundly through the night. He had a sweet sleep that night, and woke up the next day to the slanting sunlight. The world was bright and beautiful, unfurling before his eyes.

The sky was clear and the clouds were calm. In the distance, the sound of lake waves crashing, nearby, the sound of beasts foraging. Li Xian lay in the soft grass, reluctant to get up for a while. He quietly felt all things.

Serenity leading to vast horizons, without hatred or resentment. Only harmony and tranquility. Li Xian twisted his finger ring, a coolness permeating his body. He idly wasted half an hour before jumping into the pond for a full wash.

Li Xian’s clothes were ruined, his naked form reflecting in the pond’s mirror. His body was perfect, a rare work of nature’s craftsmanship. Wen Caishang often liked to gently touch this Pure Yang Body, adding an invisible allure.

Li Xian enjoyed a moment of self-satisfaction, and then left the canyon. The narrow and perilous paths along the way were no longer obstacles. He quickly returned to the top of the palm, where Li Xian bowed towards the canyon and said: "Without this blessed land, I would need much longer to heal. There are still many herbs and treasures in the mountains, if I were to consume them all, it would be greatly beneficial... but I’ve already taken plenty, and feel satisfied, so I won’t exhaust them."

He climbed up the Middle Finger Peak, using the height to gaze in all directions. Seeing no merchant ships passing for the moment, he returned again to the top of the palm. Li Xian mused: "During my recovery, I did see several merchant ships pass by here. This place is slightly distant from Swallowing Water City, but not too far. There must be no shortage of pirate ships. But for fear of trouble, with my heart veins unhealed, if attacked by pirates, it would be extremely difficult to defend myself. So I didn’t seek help, focusing solely on healing in the mountains."

The Absolute Palm Peak was rich in resources, and Li Xian thought that since there were no ships arriving, there was no need to anxiously await them, he could take this opportunity to advance his Martial Arts. Li Xian had neglected Martial Arts for over a month, soon picking it up again. The Ghost Python Spear was completely destroyed, so he chose a tree material and carved it into a wooden long spear for practice.

He immersed himself in Martial Arts, forgetting external matters. The Broken Demon Spear was extremely strange, its spear momentum like a ghost or dragon, shifting between real and unreal, endlessly adaptable. Li Xian infused his will into the wooden spear, the spear body trembled slightly, adding tenacity and sharpness. Exerting Martial Arts to its fullest, the wooden spear penetrated rock and severed wood, standing firm and undamaged on its own.

When the Broken Demon Spear reached its depth, Absolute Palm Peak turned eerie and ghostly. As he performed three spear strikes in succession, ghostly spirits entangled around him, at this moment he performed the "Iron Copper Body," his skin instantly emanating bluish-purple strange glows, emitting a "buzzing" dull sound, listening closely like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts.

Such fierce and monstrous scenes, how could an opponent dare to approach?

Li Xian mastered self-forgetfulness, fully executed the Broken Demon Spear multiple times, then turned to practice the Setting Sun Bloodsword, revisiting various Martial Arts from the past. Skill level accumulated bit by bit.

A day passed, progress was pleasing. Li Xian exhaled a long breath of turbid air, gazing at the spacious lake surface, seeing countless duckweed drifting with the waves, thinking how he was no different from that duckweed? Although wishing to strive for flow and wave, heading toward prosperous places, enough strength is needed. Even if he were to leave the mountain now, no place to settle for the moment, only drifting around. This Absolute Palm Peak standing still in the lake, might as well be a temporary residence. With no ships approaching for now, he might as well stay here, striving to improve his skills.

When fate arrives, he’ll leave the mountain accordingly.

Having thought this through, Li Xian’s desire to leave the mountain diminished.

For the following days, Li Xian crafted wooden bows, carved wooden swords, and built wooden shelters. Every day he practiced the Broken Demon Spear, read medical ethics scriptures, read the medical heart scriptures, operated dirty dross... accumulative progress in various arts gradually accumulated.

Three days later.
