Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 383 - 283: Five Elements Command Flags, Involving the Five Elements; Consuming the Crane Pill, Miraculous Effects Revealed (Part 4)
She rested against the wall, suddenly recalling something that made her blush. From embarrassment to forgetting herself, that personal cooperation was indeed extraordinary.
Nangong Liuli was not easily swayed. She stretched slightly and returned to the hall. Seeing the tables and chairs askew, she quickly straightened them. She noticed Li Xian staring at some broken silver, murmuring as if to speak, but was too shy to talk to him.
After a moment, Nangong Liuli pondered, "It’s just a collaboration, a joint effort to find a way out. My hesitation only makes it seem strange." She straightened her posture and asked calmly, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Xian sighed, "I’ve searched my entire body and only have half a tael of broken silver left. Even getting food today will be difficult." Nangong Liuli replied, "Is it that hard?"
Li Xian sighed lightly, "It can be said to be very hard." He carefully hid the broken silver close to him. Glancing at her teasingly, Nangong Liuli raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be indifferent.
She adjusted her clothes and said blandly, "It’s just collaboration, don’t overthink it."
Last night, a sudden downpour came. In the fresh early morning air, all the dust in the air had been washed clean. Li Xian and Nangong Liuli chatted for a while, then practiced martial arts in the outer courtyard.
The Flying Snake Hand and the Vomiting Blood Scripture were both diligently practiced. Having nothing else to do, Nangong Liuli couldn’t go out despite the town’s bustle. She could only watch Li Xian practice martial arts and secretly evaluated him with the eyes of a noblewoman from the Nangong Family.
She watched as Li Xian first displayed the Flying Snake Hand, skillfully using the momentum of the python. Initially agile and graceful, his moves gradually gained a powerful momentum... His strikes were not like a venomous snake’s sudden attack, but more like the rolling of a dragon.
She couldn’t help but admire, clapping in approval.
"The siblings of the Nangong Family certainly have profound martial arts skills. But we have the careful guidance of our elders, who teach us the true essence of martial arts. With our unique methods, we hone our martial arts to perfection. As we practice, we make great strides, from beginner, to mastery, to minor achievement, great success... even to perfection, reaching the peak are not too difficult."
"However, once leaving the family’s martial arts domain, learning other martial arts inevitably becomes slow and uncomfortable. Over time... the family breeds arrogance, the younger generation in the family looks down on external moves and blindly venerates the family’s principles. They’re unwilling to learn external martial arts, which is a disadvantage."
"The family gradually realizes this, and thus encourages the younger generation to learn from all sources, going to high mountains and deep sects to practice martial arts. In this chaotic world, if talent emerges, they might be recommended back to the family, recruited as in-laws... Ah... how did I think of this."
Nangong Liuli shook her head and spat, "If I could escape, I would forget him immediately. Acting so cocky... setting rules like no one can leave you. Who would want to be bothered by a rough little thief like you."
As her thoughts drifted, she gradually lost interest in watching. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Reviewing the past to learn the new, knowing the past to understand the future. Li Xian diligently practiced, showcasing the Clear Wind Leg, Four Directions Fist, Vast Leg, Jade Palm... and all the moves of the Setting Sun Bloodsword. The Qi Lake fluctuated and grew increasingly vigorous, already spanning over seventy-five zhang.
Inwardly, he contemplated:
"With my various qualities, which martial arts should I practice to fully utilize them? No... wanting to use them all would be too greedy. If I can utilize one or two, that would be enough."
He pondered even more, and when he came to, it was already noon.
He returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged for inner cultivation, circulated the impurities, and built up his foundation. The process was monotonous yet fulfilling, making him ever stronger.
"Strange... why hasn’t the dust settles characteristic appeared yet."
This matter was ultimately unpredictable, so he thought no more about it. Feeling hungry, he couldn’t help but search his body, intending to use silver to buy food. Suddenly, he touched the inner lining of his clothes, finding tightly wrapped red elixir.
This was the "Crane Pill," obtained from a burial in deep mountains. It was a coincidence really, as Li Xian had gone through many perilous events, fearing the loss of the Treasure Pill, so he hid it in the deepest place. Every time he changed clothes, he’d remember this pill. But seeing it emanating a fragrant aroma and exceptional appearance, he worried that consuming it hastily would waste the subtle effects of the elixir.
Additionally, with many life-and-death dangers recently, rashly consuming elixirs could lead to oddities. He desired to improve [Consumption] and thus enhance the efficacy of the elixir.
All in all... using it now would be perfect!
Li Xian held the Crane Pill in his hand, hearing the surrounding quiet serenity. He decided to consume it here.
The red elixir entered his stomach, and the wonders revealed themselves!...
