Chapter 837: Chapter 397: Heart of Stone, Heart Furnace Forged, Thunder and Fire Collide, Intent Becomes Willow

The "Only I Have a Heart Skill" is a remarkable technique in this world, unique in its kind. Li Xian explored Dongran Lake deeply, tempered through life and death, reshaped his heart veins, comprehended the true essence of this skill, and walked his own path.

With great success in Heart Skill, the heart chamber resonates with inexpressible feelings. Li Xian’s "Strong Heart Vibrating Qi" is even more fierce, sending punches towards the air while utilizing the powerful heart vibration. The Inner Qi, like wild waves, like a falling meteor, like a collapsing mountain... its momentum is difficult to describe.

The Qi vibration instantly strengthens sevenfold. In the intervals of showcasing the Daluo Saber Technique, Iron Copper Body, and Thunderbolt Finger, Li Xian simultaneously employs the "Strong Heart Vibrating Qi," unleashing destructive power in a flash, with an unstoppable fierce murder!

With the breakthrough of Heart Skill, the effectiveness of Martial Arts increases significantly, and the heart’s intention transmits sound even farther.

The infusion of heart’s intention exhibits a hundred transformations. Li Xian pours his intention into the void, akin to a punch of the heart. This "Fist Power" already surpasses the fierce punching power of ordinary Martial Artists, mysterious and unpredictable.

Without using hands or feet, defeating the enemy in the air. How formidable, even Third Realm Martial Artists can’t perceive the profoundness of Heart Skill. Moreover, the infusion of heart’s intention becomes more natural, capable of flooding like a great deluge or focusing into a pinpoint.

Stepping into a new realm, the meaning of "Heart Protection Divine Intent" becomes more abundant, invisibly lingering in the heart. Even if Li Xian does not intentionally concentrate his mind, "Heart Protection Divine Intent" can still nurture the heart.

Li Xian sighed: "Before Dongran Lake, had I achieved great success in Heart Skill, why would I have endured so long? Everything would be much more leisurely."

The mystery of Heart Skill does not stop here.

Li Xian realized the "Heart as a Firm Stone" trait, enabling his heart veins to become as firm as metal in an instant, and ordinary swords might stab into the chest but might not necessarily damage the heart veins.

Furthermore, Li Xian practiced the "Setting Sun Bloodsword," with the Heart Fire within his heart, constantly tempering blood and cooking Qi. He then acquired the "Heart as a Firm Stone" trait. His heart veins resemble a copper tripod, with a furnace inside continually refining the blood quality.

Ordinary people subjected to such tempering quickly experience blood deficiency and blood depletion. Yet, Li Xian achieves perfection with the "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture," his body blood always abundantly full to the extreme. After long endurance with the "Heart Furnace," his blood quality becomes increasingly strong and pure, and deficiencies are resolved.

The combination of traits leads to Li Xian’s blood quality being fresh as mercury and lead, all the essence extracted. Moreover, his whole body’s strength, response, physique, spirit... all get enhanced. Without the "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture," who could guess whether this "Heart Furnace" is good or bad?

Just say the "Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture" lives up to its reputation as a Pure Yang fundamental principle, its utility is simple, yet it’s the essence of the skill and the scripture, the root itself. Li Xian once practiced the "Vomiting Blood Scripture," and such traits also help this scripture to exhibit wonders!

In Martial Arts, pulling a single string can move the whole body. Traits combined, bring a hundred transformations to various parts. Li Xian stumbled upon and set up the "Heart Furnace."

The "Thunderbolt Finger" involves the Chest Drum Thunder Sound. With great success in Heart Skill and the "Heart as a Firm Stone," while deploying Thunderbolt Finger, it can even spawn the "Thunder Sound crashing into the furnace." Using the "Chest Drum Thunder Sound" to resonate with his heart veins.

It is like "Heavenly Thunder crashing into Earth Fire," or "Chest Thunder crashing into Heart Fire" in tone. Instantly, it can be like thunder or fire, shocking the evil, resounding to the skies. Thunderbolt Finger hides the "Four Killing Finger Techniques," relying on "Chest Drum Thunder Sound" to possess formidable killing power, even generating thunder sounds during deployment, evolving into lightning entwined around the fingers.

At this moment, the killing power is further enhanced, adding fierce fire to the Thunderbolt energy. Li Xian instantly releases the finger, with lightning and fiery flames accompanying it, the killing power surpassing several folds. The evolution of Martial Arts attracts even more eyes.

The deeper Li Xian steps into Martial Arts, the more entranced he becomes with various mysteries. Celestial mysteries, the human body also holds marvels. Exploring Martial Arts infinitely, seeking all celestial mysteries.

Again realizing the "Skyward Intent" trait. Li Xian practiced "Archery," grasping the "Essence Qi." After cultivating "Only I Have a Heart Skill," he realized the marvelous use of "Heart’s Intention."

The two are similar yet different. Li Xian rose from poverty, progressing step by step, with heart’s intentions lofty and far-reaching. "Only I Have a Heart Skill" varies from person to person, whereas Li Xian’s body may lie dormant, but his intent soars skyward.

Thus, he realized the "Skyward Intent." When this intent is displayed, with essence soaring the heavens, the momentum increases by thirty percent, like piercing the skyline. If opponents find it hard to withstand, their hands will tremble, minds will fluster, first weakening in essence and heart, hard to resist.

Various transformations, all beyond words.

With traits bestowed, endless mysteries.

Li Xian’s status greatly elevated, Martial Arts also progressed significantly. Double joy accompanied his presence, yet he remained calm and composed. Heaven rewards diligence, he earns what he strives for. Why overreact or become excessively ecstatic? Whether gains or losses, regard them with a normal heart.

Moreover, Yao Yin provided guidance and assistance, making Li Xian a Yu People. She suddenly craved hunger, recalling Li Xian’s culinary skills, the ingredients might be common, yet the taste is a rare delicacy in Jade City. After returning to the manor for a few days, she had the servants cook, and the Yao family chef’s skills are exceptional, capable of replicating a similar taste, also considered a rare delicacy, yet ultimately... lacking a certain flavor.

Thus, she follows Li Xian back home, seated waiting for a feast.

Li Xian distinguishes gratitude and enmity clearly, grateful at heart, knowing that a good person is hard to find, a friend even harder. He considers Yao Yin as a friend, pledging to repay the favor generously in the future and ensuring a sumptuous feast.

He himself spent money, purchasing fresh vegetables, meat, river and seafood, mountain treasures from the market. Spending several taels of silver here is indeed extravagant. He plans to cook ten grand dishes, paired with drinks, ensuring a joyful banquet.

Yao Yin knew Li Xian was financially constrained, seeing his grand gesture, she felt content, justifying her choice in assisting him and choosing him as a friend. She thought: "It’s merely a small effort on my part, with his capabilities and skills, even without my help, he would definitely find another opportunity and a way out. If all else fails, leaving Jade City, he can still showcase his abilities. I will treat him sincerely as a friend, without calculating favors."

Her mood lifted, recalling people she met throughout life, elders, siblings, comrades, senior apprentices... many, yet uniquely missing one flavor—"friend."
