บท 19: Chapter 19 Xu Yan Successfully Cultivates Golden Bones (Seeking Follow-Up Reads)

"So, this is what 'Clear Mind Observes My True Intent in Cultivation' means—every minute change, I can sense without leakage, within my thoughts, the subtle nuances of Bone Refinement."

It had been half a month since Xu Yan returned to the small mountain village.

As always, before dawn broke, Xu Yan was already cultivating.

At this moment, he had a new insight into the minute changes in his bones, the transformations of his body, the circulation of every fraction of his blood and qi—all were under the command of his thoughts.

The efficiency of his Bone Refinement had once again greatly increased.

"These two lines of cultivation technique cannot be so simple; it's that I have yet to truly grasp their essence!"

Xu Yan exclaimed in his heart, admiring the cultivation methods his master had passed on to him, how mysterious and profound they were.

Every time he felt like he had understood their mysteries,

a flash of inspiration would reveal that his understanding still fell short!

"Now I have undergone the transformation eight times, my entire skeleton has turned to golden bones!"

"Only one more transformation and my body will unify into one, truly transforming into golden bones!"

Half a month of diligent Bone Refinement, especially after gaining new insight into the technique, had deepened his control over his blood and qi, speeding up the Bone Refinement process. He had now reached the eighth transformation.

The bones throughout his body had already turned to gold.

The ninth transformation—which would perfect his golden bones and unify his body—was not far off.

Xu Yan continued his cultivation, feeling a premonition that he would achieve golden bones within a day or two.

"Once I perfect the golden bones, I'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the prodigies of ancient times, and be able to begin Viscera Refinement.

"Entering the realm within a year should be no issue.

"As for jade bones, my master said it's not something that can be achieved with talent and persistence alone—I must not aim too high nor wish for too much."

Golden bones were already extraordinary; jade bones, however, were much too difficult to attain.

If overambitious, striving for jade bones and wasting time in vain, he might fail to enter the realm within a year.

Satisfied with his progress in joining the ranks of the ancients' most talented, why should he be discontent?

Therefore, Xu Yan planned to begin Viscera Refinement as soon as his golden bones were complete.

The methods for Viscera Refinement were ready to be explored.

Thus, Xu Yan continued with Bone Refinement while recalling what Li Xuan had taught him about the method of Viscera Refinement, pondering deeply its profound essence and mystique.

With the foundations of Skin Refinement and Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement was not difficult.

He already had the direction for Viscera Refinement; now, how to efficiently refine his viscera—that would require careful contemplation to grasp the profundity of its methods.

...

Li Xuan yawned and glanced at Xu Yan, who was cultivating, marveling in his heart, "This silly disciple really is persistent, and he can stay so calm?"

He couldn't help but be puzzled—having not sensed blood and qi for so long, how could Xu Yan keep it up?

Not a trace of impatience showed on his face.

No frustration, no despondency, and no embarrassment before him for not having sensed blood and qi.

He also did not keep asking him how to sense blood and qi.

"Such a state of mind is truly rare. He doesn't rush or get frustrated; instead, he persists, diligently practicing day after day. If there really were cultivation methods, with his hard work, as long as his talent isn't lacking, he could become a strong martial artist, couldn't he?"

"What if he found out that I've been deceiving him, that the cultivation methods are concocted by me? How would he react?"

Li Xuan thought it was better to keep the deception under wraps.

Xu Yan was clearly an honest man, and it wouldn't be a joke if such a man, particularly one of notable status, erupted in anger.

"Let it go, I'll let him be; with the roads from the village now safe, once a year is up, I'll just send him on his way."

"Perhaps, I can extort another parting gift?"

"I can't stay in Donghe Prefecture, or even in Qi Country, anymore. When the time comes, I'll head to Wu Country."

Li Xuan had already planned his exit strategy.

As he lay back on the chair, leisurely and accustomed to the easy life, he thought how he might struggle without anyone to serve him in the future.

After going to Wu Country, he would need to buy several maidservants to serve him.

Two more days passed.

Xu Yan was now in the ninth stage of transformation.

"Golden bones are about to form!"

His blood and qi refined his bones, which were undergoing a transformation, and the golden skeletons began to shine with a bright luster.

At a certain moment.

Boom!

The marrow in his bones roared like rivers, and his blood and qi surged instantly, expanding more than double in an instant, appearing like a dragon as it moved through every bone in his body. The surging marrow in his bones also changed, continuously generating blood and qi while the bones emitted a faint glow.

The golden bones shone brilliantly, as if immortal.

Xu Yan was overwhelmed with excitement in his heart.

He had finally refined golden bones!

With the formation of golden bones, his flesh also underwent a transformation; his blood and qi became purer, and his flesh stronger. On the golden bones, it seemed that mysterious and exquisite patterns had emerged.

They were like the marvelous principles of the Domain.

With each circulation of his blood and qi, it roared like a mighty dragon.

In the moment that the golden bones formed, Xu Yan radiated a faint golden light, bathing in a glow as if he had been immersed in it.

At this moment, the sun rose, and its golden rays, passing through the alleyways of the small village, shone upon Xu Yan.

Li Xuan stepped out from the house, glanced over, and didn't pay much attention.

He merely thought that it was just the sunlight shining upon Xu Yan.

This wasn't the first time.

But he failed to notice that the golden light emanating from Xu Yan at this moment shone more brilliantly than usual when the sunlight hit him.

Moreover, it radiated from within him.

The golden light retracted, and Xu Yan keenly sensed the changes within himself, realizing the strength of his golden bones.

The formation of the golden bones surpassed the amplification of the previous eight transformations by far.

In this moment, Xu Yan understood what it meant to be powerful, experiencing the mysteries of Martial Arts.

"Is this the strength of the mighty prodigies of ancient times?"

"I, Xu Yan, have finally refined golden bones, meeting my master's expectations, and I am not inferior to the prodigies of antiquity!"

"They call me a fool, laugh at me, mock me... but to me, you are all just frogs at the bottom of a well."

At this moment, Xu Yan thought of the years he had spent seeking out masters, becoming a laughing stock in Donghe County.

Now, with the formation of golden bones, his strength was so great that even the top experts of the martial world would seem as flimsy as paper before him.

"You say my brain doesn't work, that I've embarrassed you, but I've said that I will make myself out of your league, and I will indeed make it so!"

A sharp light shone in Xu Yan's eyes.

"I feel like my life force is endless. With the formation of golden bones, it seems my lifespan has also significantly increased.

"My master said that once golden bones are formed, even if one is buried underground for ten thousand years, they would still shine brilliantly. Naturally, one's lifespan would also greatly increase."

At this moment, Xu Yan felt that he and the Martial Artists out there were people from two different realms.

"With my current strength, even the old Emperor of Qi Country wouldn't intimidate me in the slightest.

"Do I now have the right to scorn the imperial power?

"No, I mustn't harbor such arrogant thoughts. I need to stay humble and vigilant, not forgetting my place due to a slight increase in strength. I must remember my master's teachings."

Xu Yan reminded himself over and over again.

"I've refined golden bones, I must go tell master, I now stand shoulder to shoulder with the prodigies of ancient times!"

Having refined the golden bones and overwhelmed with excitement, Xu Yan finished his cultivation and, filled with eagerness, walked towards his master. He wanted to tell his master personally that he had refined the golden bones, standing equal with the prodigies of antiquity.

He had not let his master down!

At the end of the day, he was still a young man who couldn't help but desire his master's praise.


บท 20: Chapter 20: Unimpressed by Golden Bones, I Shall Refine Jade Bones

Li Xuan did not know that Xu Yan had already concocted and tempered the "golden bones" he had made up and was excitedly coming over to tell him, hoping to receive praise and recognition.

At this moment, Li Xuan was playing with the gift Xu Yan had given him last time: a gold sword and the Jade Ruyi.

The gold sword was inlaid with a treasure bead and forged entirely of gold, quite valuable.

The Jade Ruyi was carved with auspicious cloud patterns, flawless throughout, obviously a top-grade jade carving. Its value, perhaps, even exceeded that of the gold sword.

"This gold sword, although not cheap, every time I look at it, I feel like the Jade Ruyi is worth more and rarer.

"Look at the quality of this jade, flawless throughout, bright and clear. It feels warm and smooth in the hand... Compared to the gold sword, I like this Jade Ruyi even more.

"If I could get a matching pair, it would be perfect as a family heirloom.

"Since I've already lied, what's the harm in lying again to get another Jade Ruyi, right?"

Li Xuan fondled the Jade Ruyi, liking it more the longer he looked.

He muttered to himself about having the foolish disciple find another Jade Ruyi so that he would have a pair for a family heirloom.

Just then, Xu Yan walked over.

"Disciple, you've arrived at just the right time."

Li Xuan pushed the gold sword aside, seemingly disdainful, and played with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, his eyes filled with affection for the Jade Ruyi.

"Look at this Jade Ruyi, flawless and nurturing. They say a gentleman loves jade, and as a lover of jade myself, it would be wonderful to have a pair of them."

He looked up at Xu Yan and said, "Do you understand, disciple?"

Thinking to himself: Go find another Jade Ruyi for your teacher.

Xu Yan, originally excited to tell his master that he had tempered golden bones, on par with the heroes of old.

Instead, he saw Li Xuan pushing the gold sword aside with some disgust, playing with the Jade Ruyi.

Speaking about how gentlemen love jade and hoping to have a matched set of Jade Ruyis.

Xu Yan thought to himself that he would find another Jade Ruyi for his master on his next trip home.

But suddenly he had a sinking feeling: "That's not right! Why would my master talk about loving jade at this time?"

"Master must have a deeper meaning in his words...

"I understand now, Master has high hopes for me, hoping that I can refine jade bones. That's why he used the Jade Ruyi as a metaphor, preferring jade bones over golden ones!

"But Master must also be worried that I can't handle the difficulty of tempering jade bones, so he used the Jade Ruyi as a metaphor to remind me. If I fail to grasp the deeper meaning in his words, Master won't insist...

"If that's the case, Master might not say anything, but he must be disappointed in me. If I can't understand the deeper meaning in his words, Master will lower his expectations, considering me lacking in comprehension, unable to understand such a simple metaphor!"

Xu Yan quickly filled in the blanks with his own assumptions, thinking that on the surface his master wanted a pair of Jade Ruyis but was actually encouraging him to continue refining bones, not to give up, and to strive to refine jade bones.

If Li Xuan knew of these assumptions, he would definitely be dumbfounded: I just literally wanted a Jade Ruyi!

After his assumptions, Xu Yan, believing he had grasped the deeper meaning in his master's words, said with a determined look, "Master, your disciple understands. I will certainly not disappoint you!"

Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile: "As long as you understand, your teacher believes in you."

Xu Yan was deeply moved: "Master has such high expectations of me, hoping that I can surpass the ancient prodigies!"

"What does golden bones amount to? I must refine jade bones!"

Xu Yan did not mention his golden bones again. His master had already seen through everything; mere golden bones couldn't catch his master's eye!

Upon resuming his cultivation and attempting to continue bone refinement, Xu Yan found that no matter how he circulated his blood and energy, or how he tried to temper, it was all to no avail.

```

It seemed that Gold Bone was the limit already.

It was as if an insurmountable chasm stood in the way, blocking any further advancement.

"Master said that Jade Bone isn't something you can refine through talent, perseverance, or persistence. Those who can refine Jade Bone either possess immense fortune, are beloved by the Domain, or have extraordinary comprehension, capable of perceiving the great Dao..."

Xu Yan pondered, "I don't know if I have immense fortune, probably not; being the Domain's beloved is even less likely, so the only path left is comprehension...

"Master frequently emphasized the importance of intent and understanding, clearly seeing my potential in comprehension, reminding me where my strength lies.

"I must rely on comprehension alone if I wish to refine Jade Bone."

After coming to this realization, Xu Yan's mind once again conjured the two lines of the technique: "Understanding the heart to nurture genuine intent, qi and blood like a dragon forging a golden physique."

"Surely I haven't completely comprehended the core of these two lines yet. If I can, might I be able to break through the constraints of Gold Bone and cultivate Jade Bone?"

Xu Yan dedicated his whole being to the technique, his mind devoid of stray thoughts, casting everything aside, forgetting both things and self, striving to grasp the deeper meaning.

"That's it, nurturing genuine intent. I assumed that harboring qi and blood within the bones, within the marrow, was nurturing genuine intent, but where 'intent' really resides?

"Nurturing the marrow is merely the beginning and hasn't truly cultivated 'intent.'"

Suddenly, a light flashed through Xu Yan's mind; he realized he had been mistaken about nurturing genuine intent in the technique.

He had never cultivated genuine intent.

He didn't even understand what 'intent' meant.

"Qi and blood like a dragon forging a golden physique. When I refined the Gold Bone, was the circulating qi and blood truly like a dragon? That was merely superficial, a mere semblance devoid of nurtured 'intent.' How could such a dragon be considered real?"

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

If he could just break through this barrier, he would completely comprehend the technique, shatter the constraints of Gold Bone, and enter the stage of Jade Bone.

Yet, this barrier remained unbreakable.

He started to feel a bit frustrated for a moment.

"Should I go ask Master for guidance?

"No, Master has already explained it very clearly, 'intent' can only be understood on my own—it is beyond words. I must have missed something..."

In the following three days, Xu Yan focused on understanding the technique during his cultivation, always striving to grasp the "true intent," always just short of that little bit needed.

He remained unable to break through the barrier and comprehend the essence.

Li Xuan looked at his foolish disciple with some bewilderment. Over the past three days, the foolish disciple seemed distracted, occasionally lost in a vacant daze.

"Has he been so long without results, feeling disheartened now? Thinking he's incapable?"

"My Jade Ruyi isn't in my hands yet; how can I sink into dejection?"

"Let me think, how to concoct some pseudo-profound nonsense to bamboozle him."

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

That day, after finishing his meal, as Xu Yan was about to clean up the dishes, Li Xuan spoke up, "In the path of cultivation, persistence is essential. If you find yourself facing a bottleneck and making no progress, you might relax your mind, clear your thoughts, and seek to understand every blade of grass.

"Feel the natural Domain, capture the hidden Spirit Spark around you. Should you suddenly achieve enlightenment, the gates of Martial Arts will open for you.

"Throughout history, there have been those in cultivation who were stuck at a bottleneck and couldn't break through, yet managed to do so following a sudden enlightenment."

Li Xuan spun lies with open eyes, encouraging Xu Yan to perceive the so-called Spirit Spark. If he could achieve that sudden enlightenment, he would step through the gates of Martial Arts.

Since arduous cultivation wasn't working, then seek sudden enlightenment.
