Chapter 20: Gold bones are not in the eyes of the master, I want to refine 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 and made entirely of gold. It is valuable.
The jade Ruyi is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, and it is flawless. It looks like it is carved from the best jade. In terms of value, it is probably higher than the gold sword.
Although this golden sword is of high value, no matter how I look at it, I think the 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 and use them as family heirlooms.
Ive already been cheated anyway, so I dont care. Ill just cheat another piece of jade, right?
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 piece of 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, and played with Jade Ruyi in his hand, his eyes full of love for Jade Ruyi.
"Look at this Ruyi jade, which is flawless, gentle and nourishing. As the saying goes, a gentleman likes jade, and a teacher also likes jade. It would be great if we could get a pair of Ruyi jade."
He raised his head and looked 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 jade 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 there was a thump in my heart: "No! How could Master tell me at this time that he likes jade?"
There must be a deeper meaning in Masters words
I understand, Master has high expectations for me and hopes that I can make jade bones, so I use jade as a metaphor. Master prefers jade bones to gold bones!
But Master was afraid that I wouldnt be able to accept the difficulty of tempering jade bones, so he used the metaphor of jade to remind me that if I couldnt understand the deep meaning of Masters words, Master would no longer be so demanding...
"In this case, although Master doesn't say anything, he must be disappointed with me in his heart. If I can't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master will also lower his expectations of me, thinking that I don't understand enough to even use such a simple metaphor. not understand!"
Xu Yan thought for a moment, and realized 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 thinking about it for a while, Xu Yan 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 dont 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 a mere golden bone 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.
It seems as if there is an insurmountable natural chasm that blocks further 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 enlightenment...
Master often said that emphasizing meaning and enlightenment is to make me think that my understanding is not bad, and to remind me where my strengths are.
"I want to temper jade bones, and I can only rely on my understanding."
After thinking about it, Xu Yan's mind reappeared in the two sentences of the technique "Observe me with a clear mind and cultivate your true intention, and your qi and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body."
I definitely havent fully understood the core of these two techniques. If I could understand them clearly, would it be possible to break the shackles of gold bones and temper the jade bones?
Xu Yan devoted himself wholeheartedly to the technique, with no distracting thoughts in his mind. He abandoned everything, forgetting everything and me, and wanted to understand the deep meaning.
By the way, cultivating the true meaning, I think that if the qi and blood are stored in the bones and in the marrow, that means cultivating the true meaning. But where is the meaning?
Cultivation of the bone marrow is just the beginning, and it does not cultivate the intention.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xu Yan's mind, and he discovered that he had made a mistake about the cultivation of the true meaning in the technique.
I have never developed my true meaning.
Even, it is not clear 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? That is just an empty, empty appearance. How can it be regarded as a dragon without nourishing 'intention'?" Wheres the pliosaur?
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 technique, break through the shackles of the golden bone, and enter the jade bone stage.
However, this barrier can never be broken.
He felt a little distressed for a moment.
Do you want to ask Master for advice?
No, Master has taught me very clearly that 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 practiced, he kept comprehending the techniques, and always wanted to understand the "true meaning", but he was often just a little short of it.
It has never been possible to break through the barrier and understand the essence.
Li Xuan looked at his silly apprentice with some confusion. In the past three days, the silly apprentice seemed to be a little distracted, and occasionally seemed to be in a daze.
Its been so long and you havent gained anything, so youre at a loss? Do you think you cant do it anymore?
I havent 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 dinner, when Xu Yan was preparing to put 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 and empty your mind. Thinking, to 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 have made little progress in their cultivation, stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through, and those who once had a sudden enlightenment and broke through the shackles.
Li Xuan opened his eyes and told lies, tricking Xu Yan into realizing the so-called inspiration. If he can achieve enlightenment, he can step into the door of martial arts.
Since ascetic practice is not enough, then go for enlightenment.
