C4 Golden Scales

Golden dragon scales.

Another day passed. Mu Xuan slowly stood up from his long kneeling position. His legs were trembling due to his long kneeling position. However, Mu Xuan insisted on standing up. Because he was going to leave the Bai Jia Village. He was going to join an immortal cultivation sect, learn immortal cultivation techniques, and find the Blood Demon Sect of the man in black who had destroyed the village. He was going to find out the truth about the village's destruction, he was going to take revenge, he was going to take revenge for the souls of the entire village who had died in vain. He wanted his father, and for Uncle Lin, to find Ru Wan and the other two girls.

Mu Xuan packed up his luggage, and then he took a final look at the Bai Jia Village. He looked at the hundred families' graves at the village entrance, and then at Hopper's grave.

"I will come back! I will bring back the heads of the villagers that were destroyed and bury them with me!"

Mu Xuan left, his heart filled with vengeance, and his determination to join the sect. He set out on his journey.

The hundred thousand mountains of the Wu were vast and boundless, and they drifted in the wind. It was autumn, and the mountains were dyed red. The maple leaves were red. A lonely young man was carrying a bag on his back as he walked along the mountain path. His desolate back made people feel a little sad.

Mu Xuan had heard from the village elders that the Liushui County, which was three days away from the Bai Jia Village, would often be set up by immortal sects to recruit servants. There were five or six small sects stationed nearby, and there would be large sects deep in the mountains that would come in a few months. At the same time, he could go to the Liushui County to find out the truth about the annihilation of the sect. He decided to give it a try.

During these three days of travel, Mu Xuan made the best use of his time to hurry, while taking advantage of the time when he was resting and eating rations to look at the dragon claw visual observation. Even on the second and third day, Mu Xuan could rush to the side of the road to get the visual observation.

At first, Mu Xuan was a little confused, not knowing how to use the visual observation. Other than the first time he saw the huge golden dragon claw, which was fifteen meters tall, he was shocked and also benefited from it. This time, the visual observation was at a loss as to what to do. Was he just staring at this dragon's claw? Mu Xuan looked at it for a long time, but he still could not see Ming Tang. But suddenly, Mu Xuan seemed to have caught something. Golden dragon claw, five dragon fingers, layer after layer of dragon scales, divine patterns revolving around it, five dragon's fingernail! These could be seen from the outside. But what about the inside? Mu Xuan focused and looked closely. He could vaguely see the red blood flowing through his meridians. Dragon blood? Dragon vein? There should be dragon bones! Dragon tendon! Nine corresponding nine horns? At this moment, Mu Xuan felt that the dragon claw was even more clearly imprinted in his mind. There were even traces of light that drilled into Mu Xuan's soul and meridians. It seemed like the method was right! Mu Xuan was somewhat happy. He found that his soul had become more solid and stronger. In addition to looking into the giant dragon's "claw," he could also vaguely see the blood in his meridians slowly flowing. His physical body had also become stronger and stronger, and he seemed to have broken through to the First Layer of Body Tempering.

When Mu Xuan once again stared at the nine parts of the dragon's claw that formed the hard work visual observation, there was no longer any trace of light that entered his body. Looks like I have to change my strategy. Then he would split the visual observation into nine parts, starting from the simplest and most external 'dragon scale'. Mu Xuan adjusted his angle, his eyes, heart, and mind staring at a golden dragon scale visual observation.

The edge of the golden dragon scale was semitransparent and round, crystalline and thin. It was extremely sharp. The lower part of the dragon scale was turbid and thick, connecting to the claws. It was simple and ancient. Mu Xuan carefully stared at the golden dragon scale and examined it inch by inch. He wanted to engrave the entire golden dragon scale in his mind and print it out. Just like this, during the three days of travel, Mu Xuan did not take any breaks and hurried on his way. The visual observation's golden dragon scale was tireless, inch by inch.

On the evening of the third day, Mu Xuan finally arrived at Liushui County City.

In the Wu that surrounded this mountain range, Liushui County City was a small county town. But even if it was a small county town, it could not ignore the prosperity of a county town. At the entrance of the city, one could see two rows of dazzling shop stores. There were even various kinds of peddlers selling items on the side of the road. When mortals shuttled back and forth, it was also bustling with noise and excitement. This was a small mortal city, and naturally, it was mostly mortals. However, even in a normal mortal city's city square, there would be a temporary immortal cultivation sect. Recruitment of servants, external procurement and communication.

The temporary door of the Liushui County cultivation sect would be next door to the county's central government office. It was lined up in a row. Recently, there were five small sects in the vicinity recruiting servants in large numbers. They were the Min Moon Sect, the Ancient Diannan Sect, the Qian Water Sect, the Hong Sect Hall, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect. The requirement for recruiting servants was that as long as they could do physical work, they could register at the age of 15 and above.

Mu Xuan stood beside the door and looked at the mortal youths who were knocked on drums and brought into the sect to register. They were all around 20 years old like him.

Mu Xuan thought about it and found that the names and auras of the five sects seemed pretty good. Which one should he choose? As he was thinking, he suddenly heard two young men who were also looking at him from the side stop in their tracks and whisper in a low voice.

"I heard that the servants recruited by the five sects can only chop trees and chop firewood in the servants' office, but they can obtain some of the most basic immortal cultivation methods. I heard that the servants recruited by the five sects can only chop trees and chop firewood in the servants' office, but they can obtain some of the most basic immortal cultivation methods. However, these five sects might be small in value, or perhaps they have a weak foundation. There are pitifully few immortal cultivation techniques." Another youth continued, "I heard that two days ago, a large sect came to our place to recruit servants! It's said that it's called a Langya Sect. It's said that it only accepts three servants. Furthermore, it requires one to be at the fifth layer of Body Tempering, and is bestowed with the cultivation method for the fourth layer of Body Tempering. And most importantly, as long as one's aptitude, comprehension, and opportunities were good... One could be promoted to an outer sect, inner sect, and even a core disciple. Their future was bright! But I need to reach the fifth layer of Body Tempering!" The two youths both felt some heartache as they repeatedly sighed. Then, they held hands and continuously went forward to beat the drum. They were led in.

Mu Xuan was somewhat stunned. Why were these two brothers' words and actions so incompatible? However, the news from their words had shaken his thoughts of joining the five sects.

"Langya Sect! Fifth level of Body Tempering!" Mu Xuan's eyes lit up. "I must succeed!"

Mu Xuan stayed at an inn nearby. During the day, apart from going out to the market and teahouses to find out the truth about the destruction of Bai Jia Village and the disappearance of the three girls, he also wanted to know when the Langya Sect would arrive to recruit servants. The rest of the time, including at night, was focused on visual observation.

On the evening of the second day, Mu Xuan was sitting cross-legged on his bed, meditating. The first piece of golden dragon scale that he had observed for five days had actually moved. Mu Xuan was shocked. What was going on?

The upper edge of the golden dragon scale was actually slowly divided into two, and was raised outwards. The golden dragon scale moved again. This time, the separation was even more powerful. Slowly reaching half of the dragon scale, was it creating an identical dragon scale? Mu Xuan was somewhat stunned! But he did not dare to be distracted, so he once again concentrated on the visual observation.

An hour later, the golden dragon scale moved for the third time. This time, it separated by two-thirds. Six hours later, the golden dragon scale moved for the fourth time. It separated by three-quarters, and there was still a little bit of it attached to the dragon claw.

Mu Xuan continued to work hard on the visual observations. Six hours later, in the middle of the night, the golden dragon scale moved for the fifth time. The five-meter tall golden dragon claw suddenly shook, and a bright light shone. The golden dragon scale finally separated from its body. It broke free from the claw and rushed out of Mu Xuan's head, hovering in front of him. At the same time, a golden light spread out in all directions with the dragon scale as the center. Suddenly, a ray of light shot out from the dragon claw and covered the golden dragon scales.

"Hm? What kind of aura is this?" Far away in the forbidden area of the Langya Sect Main Peak in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the skeleton that was meditating in the secret chamber suddenly opened his eyes. An immortal light flashed. "A weak immortal beast aura? It disappeared again!"

There was also a blood man who was cultivating demonic techniques in the border of the Blood Demon Sect Sect in the far west. He suddenly stopped. "Is there a trace of immortal beast aura in that place? Disappeared?"

An old man who was fishing on an island in the Wu Sea Region suddenly lowered his fishing rod. On top of it hung a human-shaped Blood Fruit. He didn't pick it up immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Liushui County a thousand miles away. "The aura of an alien immortal beast? It disappeared again."

Mu Xuan's heartbeat accelerated as he looked at the golden dragon scale that was covered by the light. He knew that this was a dragon's claw that concealed the aura of the dragon scale. The golden dragon scale floating in front of him was exactly the same as the golden dragon scale on the dragon's claw that had been on the visual observation for five days. It was the clone that had been nurtured by it.

Mu Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the golden dragon's scale. "Whoosh!" The golden dragon's scale suddenly disappeared into Mu Xuan's palm. Mu Xuan's entire body shook. With a loud bang, he suddenly felt his physical body become stronger. First layer of Body Tempering, second layer of Body Tempering, third layer of Body Tempering, Mu Xuan's physical body quickly rose to the third layer of Body Tempering. He rose two levels in a row! Mu Xuan was wild with joy. Not only that, Mu Xuan found that apart from the blood vessels, he was also focusing on his inner sight. He could even look into his bones, internal organs, and pores. At the same time, he found that his body had become more refined and powerful. There was also a trace of Mental Energy slowly forming. In time, it would become a force that could not be underestimated.

Mu Xuan looked at his palm, which had just been hidden by the golden dragon scales. Suddenly, his mind moved. The golden dragon scale actually appeared on the palm again, and with a thought, it moved. The golden dragon scale appeared on the back of his hand. This golden dragon scale actually has a spiritual connection with my mind, allowing me to enter and exit at will. Mu Xuan twisted his arm and threw the table in front of him. The golden dragon scale flashed and flew out. "Clang! The table and chair were cut in half and fell to the ground with a loud sound. "Return!" Mu Xuan willed it.

"Whoosh!" The golden dragon scale returned to Mu Xuan's palm in a flash and disappeared into his palm. Mu Xuan's heart was filled with wild joy. This would be the first treasure he could use to attack. The golden dragon scale could be unleashed with his will. It was extremely sharp and could be hidden in his palm. It was also a supreme treasure. This Dragon Claw visual observation technique was truly a great fortune. Mu Xuan once again felt grateful towards the cymbidium in his heart.

"En? It stinks?" Mu Xuan had just recovered from his inner sight when he suddenly felt a foul stench. He lowered his head to take a look. It turned out to be black dirt seeping out from all the pores on his body.

Mu Xuan quickly got up and took off his clothes to wipe the dirt away. He called over the shop owner to prepare a bath barrel and clean it. He then changed into a long green robe.

On the morning of the third day, Mu Xuan came to the side of Liushui County County's government office. As expected, the tall Langya Sect door had already been hung up. On the side of the lion door was a notice: Today, the Langya Sect of the Wu Four Major Sects are sincerely recruiting disciples from the sect for three days. Only those at the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm are qualified. The sect servants will be given a ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivation technique. The servants will cut down trees, chop firewood, and hunt beasts for pills. Those who have reached the Qi Condensation stage can enter the Langya outer sect and obtain the good fortune of cultivation!

Mu Xuan's eyes lit up. This was exactly what he needed. He hurriedly knocked on the big drum. A middle-aged man wearing a brocade green robe walked out from the room. He had a handsome face. The word "External" on his sleeve and collar showed that he was a person from Langya Sect and outer sect.
