Chapter 21

Qingxuan was overjoyed. Just as he was excitedly preparing to explore the first thread of internal energy that had just been born, a "ding" sounded in his ear, followed by a mechanical female voice: "Vitality detected, 'Lanhuang Lingmiao Pavilion' successfully activated. Setting phase, verification in progress..."

"Who's there?" Qingxuan instantly stiffened, startled, and looked around, searching for the sudden voice.

All was silent, not a sound to be heard. Qingxuan felt a chill down his back and began to regret having such a large house to himself, now finding it eerie and frightening.

Trembling, he slowly took the peach wood sword hanging on the wall into his hands. With a "weapon" in hand, the young Taoist finally regained some courage and, with a trembling, childish voice, shouted, "What kind of demon are you? Show yourself!"

Although the information indicated that this world was a martial arts world, there were too many unknowns. Who knew if there were any other unclean things that hadn't been discovered? It was better to be cautious.

The young Taoist Qingxuan, feeling fear and cold, used the most despicable and dirty defensive technique from his previous life, pulling back the quilt and diving into it.

Not long after, the tip of the peach wood sword lifted the quilt, and a pair of plain-colored underpants was presented, spinning a few times on the tip of the sword. Then, a pair of small, bright eyes peeked out from the quilt, darting around.

They say a woman's underpants can ward off evil. His own child's underpants, being even more yang, might be even more effective, he wondered.

Seeing no response for a long time, Qingxuan, almost scared out of his wits, shakily emerged from the quilt again.

"Damn, what was that just now? It scared me so much that I even took off my underpants. I wonder if the ghosts and monsters in this world are also afraid of this thing... Or... Or maybe I'm malnourished and hallucinating?"

But the voice was so clear, it couldn't have been a hallucination. Qingxuan's doubts remained unresolved.

"Verification settings complete, world synchronization complete. Synchronizing with the host, verification in progress..."

There it was again.

After the first shock, Qingxuan was much calmer this time. The electronic voice was so familiar, seemingly from his previous life.

"Verification complete, 'Lanhuang Lingmiao Pavilion' activated."

With a "boom," Qingxuan, who was full of doubts and deep in thought, suddenly saw a bright light. A dialog box appeared in the air, and the surrounding light dimmed, highlighting the floating page.

"Damn, how is this possible?"

Everything before Qingxuan was so familiar. The dialog box, with the words "Lanhuang Lingmiao Pavilion" written in bold, was the auxiliary system from the web game "Wulin Qixia Zhuan" he used to play in his previous life. How did it come with him to this different world?

Back then, he had a car accident because he was playing this web game on his phone while crossing the street... He never expected that the software that cost him his life would also come with him in this rebirth.

For a moment, Qingxuan, the young Taoist, felt a mix of anger, doubt, hope, and excitement, all jumbled together, confusing and unsettling his mind.

The sudden change left Qingxuan momentarily dazed.

Steadying his mind, Qingxuan carefully observed. After a moment, he sighed: "Heaven indeed treats me well. I am indeed the material of a protagonist..."

This "Lanhuang Lingmiao Pavilion" system was indeed the auxiliary system from the web game he used to play in his previous life. It was divided into six modules with six functions: "Martial Arts Exchange System," "Martial Arts Compilation System," "Martial Arts Analysis System," "Martial Arts Teaching System," "Martial Arts Evolution System," and "Miscellaneous Skills System."

The "Martial Arts Exchange System," as the name suggests, allows the exchange of martial arts techniques for the corresponding conditions. These techniques are all from Jin Yong's martial arts novels, ranging from Wudang Soft Palm to Two Instruments Sword Technique, from Luohan Fist to Yi Jin Jing, to Six Pulse Sword, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Dragon Elephant Boddhisattva Power, Nine Yin Manual, Nine Yang Divine Skill, and more. As long as you can pay the price, you can learn them all.

The "Martial Arts Compilation System" has two functions: one is to record and detect martial arts techniques; the other is to spy on others' internal energy techniques.

A complete martial art is divided into "martial techniques" and "internal energy techniques." These two functions are designed for these two parts. By activating the "detection" function, you can record all the martial arts techniques you see, which can help with future analysis and learning. The techniques you see are not just images of a person; they can also be from books, and the techniques recorded from books are more complete. Compared to the "detection" function, which records techniques by sight, the "spying" function, which reveals others' internal energy techniques, is much more difficult. This function requires physical contact, injecting your own spying internal energy into the other person's body. This thread of energy will remain in their body, and when they use their technique, this hidden internal energy will follow their internal energy path, recording it. After that, you need to retrieve this thread of internal energy to obtain their internal energy path. More importantly, this thread of internal energy must be retrieved within a certain time, or it will dissipate, and all your efforts will be in vain.

The "Martial Arts Analysis System" mainly demonstrates and analyzes the stolen martial arts, identifying any flaws or weaknesses, and clearly stating these issues to help you find and exploit the weaknesses in the opponent's techniques.

The "Martial Arts Teaching System" is simple. It teaches you the martial arts you have exchanged or stolen, deeply ingraining them in your mind so you won't forget them. The effects of the martial arts you learn in a short time are as if you had practiced them for decades. However, the martial arts obtained directly are shallow, only proficient in techniques. To achieve deeper effects, you need to experience and understand them yourself.

The "Martial Arts Evolution System" complements the analysis system. Any martial arts with flaws or weaknesses can be improved here, even simplified and evolved to make them more powerful, enhancing the quality of the martial arts.

The "Auxiliary Training System" is similar to auto-training. Some martial arts cannot reach the "perfection" level in one go and require continuous practice. This auxiliary training system can effectively and accurately allow you to repeatedly practice martial arts without error, increasing your proficiency until the martial arts reach the "perfection" level and can be used exceptionally well. As for higher levels of martial arts, they depend entirely on the practitioner's own understanding.

The "Miscellaneous Skills System" was the function Qingxuan had once considered the least useful. It contained all sorts of side skills, from poetry, calligraphy, and painting to medicine, divination, astrology, feng shui, agriculture, economics, military strategy, and even forging, alchemy, sacrifices, and dancing... a chaotic mix of everything, a vast and varied collection.

Back then, he played the web game mainly to advance the plot, learning forging and alchemy, gathering herbs, refining pills, and enhancing his sword's quality by adding gems. Skill points in the game were very precious, and special martial arts techniques were exchanged for these points. Even learning the "beginner" level of forging and alchemy cost him 4 skill points, which made Qingxuan feel heartache for a long time.

Even in the virtual world of the game, Qingxuan had no interest in these skills. He wondered what use they would have in the real world now. Surely, learning "forging" wouldn't make a magical sword appear out of nowhere?

Ignoring this seemingly useless function.

Qingxuan's consciousness extended, and he eagerly touched the "Martial Arts Exchange System."

The page that unfolded was divided into two sides. On the left, the background was a diagram of his entire meridian system, with the twelve main meridians shown in glowing white, but marked as "blocked, unusable."

Next to the meridian diagram, his realm was marked as [Body Tempering Realm], First Heaven.

Qingxuan deduced that it must have been the first thread of internal energy generated in his body that triggered the hidden "Lanhuang Lingmiao Pavilion" system.
