Zhuoyi is ordained by heaven. As Li Xian absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, he sits cross-legged, his mind clear and bright. All things vanish, and only he sits alone.
Gradually, he feels a thin layer of Zhuoyi enveloping his entire body. "Zhuoyi" is an illusory thing, difficult to perceive with the naked eye. Wen Caishang’s "Jiexu Magic Garnt" is like a finely crafted and delicate garnt, sewn with compartnts and pockets for storage.
She places items into the compartnts, pockets, and sleeve pouches of the Jiexu Magic Garnt, and they vanish into thin air. If she wants to retrieve them, she simply flips her hand to take them out. It is incredibly convenient and extrely powerful.
However, since it is "clothing," its storage capacity is ultimately limited. Once the compartnts, pockets, and sleeve pouches are full, it becos difficult to store anything further.
Therefore, the items stored within the Zhuoyi must be of utmost value.
Wen Caishang’s "Jiexu Magic Garnt" has another remarkable feature. It is unknown to others and rarely ntioned in ancient books. Only those who possess it are aware.
The White Snake Soft Sword is originally soft and sharp, but does not have the property of extension. It is due to the Jiexu Magic Garnt wrapping the sword body that it can elongate. The "magic" in "Jiexu Magic Garnt" originates from the past teachings of the Candle Sect and also implies "demonic nature."
Nine types of Zhuoyi...
Li Xian suppressed his excitent: "Even if it is a tattered cloth, I need not lose heart. If it is a Middle or Upper Zhuoyi, I also need not be complacent."
He gradually cald down, his mind clear. The Zhuoyi around him gradually beca apparent, an invisible fabric wrapping his entire body.
He concentrated and looked inward. Vaguely, he glimpsed the appearance of the Zhuoyi, revealing a faint and colorless form. It obscured his entire body in a misty shroud... emanating a strong inner qi. Majestic and grand, dignified and solemn.
"Is it the Pure Qi Garnt?"
Li Xian recalled Nangong Liuli’s words, the nine types of Zhuoyi with only the "Pure Qi Garnt" description matching, surrounded by thick qi.
The Martial Arts Second Realm goes through a process of clarity rising and turbidity descending. Like a chaotic world being split clear and turbid. When turbid qi condenses, it seeps out of the body, circling without dispersing, gradually transforming into ’Zhuoyi.’
His face lit up with joy, thinking: "If it is truly the Pure Qi Garnt... then it is truly a gift from the heavens! How rare this Qi Garnt is, to obtain it by chance, is truly lucky."
Waiting until the features are fully revealed.
Li Xian stood and rose, feeling very peculiar. He concentrated at a point, the Pure Qi Garnt faintly gathering, as if separated by a thin mbrane. Floating dust in the air was blocked from approaching, unable to get close in the slightest.
The Pure Qi Garnt... is not afraid of sword slashes or knife cuts. With the body wrapped in the invisible qi garnt, the Hidden Qi Zhuoyi reveals its mysterious transformations.
Li Xian was filled with spirit, having obtained Zhuoyi, he must explore its uses. He shuddered, qi force exploded from his body, storing qi in the Zhuoyi first, then shaking it open, the ’fabric’ pushing outward, forming an invisible force that instantly shattered the bed, wooden table, and bookshelf.
The Pure Qi Garnt is a fiercely vigorous garnt, resistant to fists, feet, swords, and knives, yet still elegant and agile. The characteristic of "Hidden Qi Zhuoyi" can truly be said to be unmatched in the world, envying others.
"The Pure Qi Garnt... its function is to shield against swords and fists, to conceal qi within the garnt. Although its function is simple, if used properly, it can produce nurous extraordinary effects."
Martial artists sustain themselves by nurturing and training, accumulating vast inner qi. The use of inner qi is of utmost importance. In the past, when Wen Caishang lost all her inner qi, her strength was greatly diminished, and she encountered dangerous situations. It clearly shows that "inner qi" is the foundation of Martial Arts techniques.
The inner qi of ordinary martial artists moves smoothly within the body, but once released, it often becos obstructed and disperses, difficult to use effectively. Only by employing Martial Arts techniques can the released inner qi still retain its power.
Those clad in "Pure Qi Garnt" possess a usage of qi that surpasses others. Simply using inner qi to quake the garnt can generate a force of repulsion and shock.
Li Xian continued his arduous practice, full of enthusiasm.

[Description: Features such as Ethereal Immortal Sound, Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Muddy Clothes Draping the Body have erged...]
The fourth feature of the Martial Arts Second Realm is called "Rooting Hair," also known as "Dust Settles." It refers to the evolution of the features of the Martial Arts Second Realm, coming to a pause here. Once a martial artist sees the appearance of "Zhuoyi Draping the Body," they should soon "rooting hair."
The first strand of hair landing and taking root proves that the martial artist has stepped into the second realm, with the initial form of an inner world.
The days passed quietly.
Li Xian practiced diligently for several days, but still did not see "Rooting Hair," truly stepping into the Martial Arts Second Realm. He couldn’t help but frown slightly. He vaguely felt sothing different about himself.
It seed the features had not fully revealed themselves.
...
...
The Water Altar of the Flower Cage Sect was about to host a grand event. News spread secretly, and fellow disciples who heard the rumor, all took elder ships to the Water Altar.
The rewards set were generous, three taels of rit silver, a beautiful companion, and a treasure or strange object.
In the past few days, ships continuously arrived at the shore. The island was bustling, all inns fully occupied, and nearly all Flower Cage Sect disciples with an opportunity had gathered at the Water Altar.
On the southwest side of the Peach Blossom Town, there is a Hundred Flower Gorge. Two high mountains enclose a narrow path, which is filled with blooming flowers.
Li Xian temporarily stayed at an inn, with no place to practice martial arts. He always liked to delve into secluded places to practice, slowly working on Martial Arts techniques, accumulating skill level, and gathering qi in the Qi Lake.
He found this serene place. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, sparsely visited by people, undisturbed by others.
He stepped into the flower bushes, reaching out to grab, first performing a set of "Flying Snake Hand." In fact, what ng Han said held so truth.
Flying Snake Hand... even the na of this martial art contradicts itself. Snakes lie coiled on the ground, ready to move, stealthy and venomous. Since ancient tis, martial arts related to "snakes" are all about being insidious and vicious.
However, "Flying Snake Hand," with the prefix "flying" before snake, can easily mislead people into thinking it’s a nimble and swift martial art. But it is quite the contrary.
And this is the brilliance of the martial art.
It implies that a coiled venomous snake suddenly strikes. The shock of it, catching the enemy unprepared, is imaginable. Compared to martial arts like "Lying Snake Hand," "Coiling Snake Hand," and "Venom Snake Hand," the superiority is imdiately apparent.
