Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King

In the "Zunde Room" of the Far Guest Inn, the woman in the colorful dress rested for half an hour, then suddenly picked up her sword and walked to the courtyard. She suddenly stabbed forward repeatedly, her sword graceful and soft, with each thrust making the sword emit a "zheng zheng" tremble, incredibly melodious.

The sword techniques changed suddenly, yet the lingering sound remained. Lightly echoing in the courtyard, with each stroke, her posture was graceful and elegant, not revealing any killing intent, but always leaving sword sound. Later, the sword sounds collaborated into a beautiful sword melody.

The melody was gentle. The objects in the courtyard seemed to dance along, the stream flowing backward, green vines and red flowers swaying, suddenly turning purple, then yellow. Weeds grew wildly, lush and dense.

The power of the sword technique made people look askance.

Li Xian observed quietly, muttering to himself: "This sword technique focuses on the marvel of the ’Ethereal Immortal Sound.’ It’s as if through the sword dance, it plays the immortal sound into a melody. The immortal sound is the sound of the heavens and earth, all things hear the marvel of the immortal sound, thus dance with the sound, revealing wonderful and mystical states. Martial Arts are truly unfathomable, the path of the Ethereal Immortal Sound can indeed be pondered and improved. Such rare opportunity, can help me appreciate the mystery of the immortal sound, a few more glances won’t hurt."

His eyebrows lightly raised, focused and attentive. He saw the woman in the colorful dress waving her sword gracefully, the sword dance skillful and natural, sometimes thrusting straight, slashing diagonally, then picking sideways, sometimes kicking and swinging up, kicking back from the waist. Sometimes stepping on grass and flying low, floating lightly to the left, elegantly then to the right. Truly a beautiful scene. This woman’s legs were long, wearing a short skirt, her legs were incredibly eye-catching. And with the accompaniment of various sounds, the courtyard scenery became even stranger, as if returning to a primitive forest, the meticulously set up scene completely ruined.

She was sweating on her forehead, her eyes bright, quite pleased. She reversed the sword technique, counter-playing the immortal sound. The primitive forest returned to being "cultivated," gradually reverting to a delicate courtyard. The changes just now seemed as if they hadn’t happened.

Li Xian was greatly inspired. Using the immortal sound as a technique allows infinite variations and innumerable mystical effects. Used on the environment and myriad things, it can also have significant impacts. Further inspired: "I practice the Only I have a Heart Skill, understanding the characteristic of transmitting sound through heart intention. If I could secretly play the immortal sound and transmit it through heart intention sound, what kind of scene would it be? I’m really foolish, all these martial arts, only knowing to practice hard, without further thinking about development."

He thought again: "No need to be in a hurry to try, let’s see what else this woman does."

The woman in the colorful dress practiced for a while, truly exhausted. She sheathed her sword; her sword was white, with a golden tassel at the end. She let out a long breath of turbid air.

Next to the courtyard were a sword rack, a clothes rack, and an incense table.

She was quite particular. Placed her sword horizontally in the rack. Lit the incense. In front was a hot spring emitting steam.

The woman in the colorful dress was named "Yao Yin." A person from the "Natural Sect." The Natural Sect is located on "Guan Long Road," known as a famous righteous sect. She was born in Jade City but entered the sect to cultivate and practice martial arts, this time returning to visit her family.

Because she didn’t like being constrained by family rules, she stayed at the inn outside, enjoying her freedom. Yao Yin lightly raised her beautiful eyebrows, sat on the stone bench by the hot spring, her skirt just covering her charm. She crossed her legs, untied the thin laces in her boots, pulled off her right foot boot, the silk stockings revealing their transparency, extending from her toes to her waist, a beloved garment of Jade City women, incredibly exquisite with embroidery, complementing her feet to be captivating, eye-catching and soul-taking. Her toes were painted with light red polish. Transparent and pristine, earlier when dancing with the sword, her boots were stuffy, Yao Yin’s feet sweat profusely, inevitably accumulating sweat into a pool, the bottom of the stockings soaked, able to pour out some sweat droplets, slightly revealing a faint sourness.

Yao Yin’s face suddenly red, quite embarrassed, she looked around to find herself alone in the courtyard, feeling slightly better. She complained: "This problem really troubles me to death. Such heavy sweat makes walking and practicing martial arts very inconvenient. Walking dozens of miles, it’s like stepping in water. Practicing some martial arts, I need to change boots. It’s embarrassing to speak of, hard to find a doctor. I’m alone, it’s okay. But when traveling with others, camping in the wilderness, it makes me really embarrassed. And what if I have a suitor in the future, what if he dislikes me?"

She lightly tapped the spring water with her toes, seemed quite hot, gently shrunk her feet. Gradually adapting, she then removed her clothing, took off the silk stockings to bathe.

Li Xian thought quietly: "To glimpse the Martial Arts, I indulge more eagerly. But peeping at bathing, though indeed want to see more, still no need to be so sordid. Unexpectedly, such a charming lady, worries about such a small matter." He coughed lightly, withdrew his attention, turned to study his own martial arts.

Actually, Li Xian possessed the "Perfect Appearance," an exemplary appearance, his physique as if naturally formed, healthy, strong, perfect, handsome... truly rare and extremely precious, flawless everywhere, without any odd symptoms. Naturally, devoid of such concerns.

Yet apart from him, who is without flaws, without life-long minor ailments accompanying them. And due to practicing martial arts, further impacting the physique. Bringing formidable power, but also accompanied by some strange symptoms, or unspeakable pains.

Even someone like Wen Caishang with a Perfect Appearance. Rebirth Appearance’s quality was still a notch below him, also having subtle flaws. Yet possessing flaws is the true nature of humans, someone like Li Xian, perfect and flawless, naturally formed, is truly unique, not to be found elsewhere.

He looked around with four eyes, seeing the potted plants, with fresh flowers on them. Thought: "Regarding the Ethereal Immortal Sound, I know the Protective Sound, Attack Sound, Ghost Cry Sound, Play Yang Immortal Sound. Let me test its effect." Secretly played the Protective Sound, the bones lightly trembled, the immortal sound resonated within. An invisible force, silently tightened around the whole body. Punches and kicks can’t harm, blades and swords can’t reach. In addition, the ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing’ protect the body, multiple layers of defense, extremely solid. When the immortal sound took momentum to brew, Li Xian exhibited the Heart Skill’s heart intention sound, wanting to transmit the ’Immortal Sound Effect’ to the potted flowers.
