Wulin : Martial Heroes

Chapter 39: Eternal Life Manual

He was about to grab her body and put it behind his back but as he touched her he could feel cold all over.

‘What!’ he exclaimed in his heart

That cold nearly enter his body but Li Xin Yang meridian block the entry and Li Xin quickly circulated his inner energy to dispel the cold that was about to invade his body.

His other hand was holding Zhou Qingxuan right hand and on this area, Li Xin felt a powerful and violent Yang energy is about to ravage his meridian and this time Li Xin Yin meridian block the entry and like before Li Xin circulates his inner energy to drive the violent energy from his body.

He jumps backward from Qingxuan body and then raise his palm and then thrust both of his palm to the side.

The left hand shoot toward the left, the right hand shoot toward the right, the sound of a roaring dragon shakes the trees and the ground exploded.

The soil flew upwards as dust fills the surrounding.

The dust settles and Li Xin stands there gathering his wits about

Li Xin could feel both of his hand pulsing and then he looks toward Zhou Qingxuan with a wary expression.

‘What the hell happened to this girl?’ In that moment when he was about to grab both of her hand and position himself to carry her on his back, two different energy tries to enter his body.,

One of them is cold, the other one is hot.

Li Xin is lucky that he is a Tianmai, his meridian is abnormally strong and block the energy of this energy but even when he circulates his inner energy, some of this energy managed to enter and that is why Li Xin thrust out his palm, throwing out that energy from his body.

Now, his blood is thrumming with energy as he executed his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm to dispel that cold and hot energy

Li Xin come closer again to Zhou Qingxuan but this time he did not rashly touch her again

‘Did someone implant that kind of energy when striking her?’ he thought to himself. That kind of hot and cold effect reminded him of the Xuanming Elders in the heaven Sword and Dragon Saber story.

It would not be surprising to see such martial skill also appears in this world. But how could he help this woman if he could not even touch her?

‘Huh. Even after all of that, this coldness and hotness did not dissipate. What a domineering technique’ he thought to himself.

As for the question of whether he could touch her or not, Li Xin guess that it is not that he could not touch her. He just had to bear the cold and hot.

After all, even though it elicited such response, in the end, the attack was not meant for him. While he would feel a little cold and hot it’s effect would not be like the effect that is now haunting Qingxuan

Li Xin then look again at the surrounding of the woman and he was surprised to see that on the left side of her body, the ground seems to be cold and hard while on the right side of her body, the grass seems to wilt under hot pressure.

Li Xin sighed.

‘Even wanting to save people is hard’ he thought to himself. Should he inject his inner energy to this woman? He thought to himself but then he shakes his head.

Who know what would happen if he injects his inner energy to this woman. If this is just some normal inner energy injury, he would not hesitate to just push his inner energy into this woman body

After all, his inner energy is very pure. But…the situation of this woman is very weird and unique.

He did not know what kind of inner energy injury that this woman had been subjected to. Not to mention there is two different kind of energy that is coursing through her body

What if he injects his inner energy to this woman and then it would lead to an adverse effect and kill her?

Yes, he would still complete the quest whichever way it goes, but Li Xin did not want to have that on his conscience.

He decided to use his Spiritual perception to try to make sense of this woman condition. He stands not far from her and the n close his mind, his inner energy seems to move forward and envelope the woman when suddenly Li Xin opens his eyes

‘Could it be…?’ he thought to himself. He then squatted in front of Zhou Qingxuan and look at her face. Then he said

‘I’m sorry for this’ his hand then reached toward her chest and then quickly rummage around Zhou Qingxuan chest area

If there is anyone around this area right now, one might think that Li Xin is taking advantage of this girl

In this ancient era, he probably would have been forced by people to marry this woman after doing such a thing.

But Li Xin is not doing this to take advantage of Zhou Qingxuan.

Instead, when he rummaged around, it was less than a few second ad the moment he felt that thing, he quickly pulls out his hand from Zhou Qingxuan chest area.

Gripped tight on his hand right now is a book.

Of course, it is a book. Li Xin is not a pervert. Though, this woman is flat. And that was never his attention

Li Xin look at the book. It is tattered and there is all kind of stain on it but Li Xin eyes is shining.

‘This is it. That manual!’ he thought to himself

He opens the book and the front page of the book is clean. It seems that this page details the history of this book and might be added later by the one who owns this book.

Because the front page compared to the other pages of the book had different kind of paper and different kind of texture.

But what Li Xin is interested off is about the effect of this book.

There is a reason why Li Xin take the book first. The reason why he wanted the manual from Zhou Qingxuan that he camps himself around this mountain is because the manual that Zhou Qingxuan supposedly stole, have many abilities

Zhou Qingxuan prowess could be said to originated from the manual that she stole. Whoever practices the inner energy of that manual is said to have great immunity against inner injuries and could heal oneself easily.

It is said to rival that of the Nine Yang Divine Skill of the Righteous Temple.

On one hand, Li Xin objective has always been about finding that manual so he doesn't have to buy it from the system store. On the other, if he learns this skill, he might be able to heal this Demoness.

If this manual has the same effect like Nine Yang Divine Skill, it could also drive off any foreign inner energy

Li Xin look at the name of the skill.

The Eternal Life Manual.

Li Xin then read the first page of the book. It details the history of the manual

The manual is first called the Secret Manual of Duke Jingwu of Wei

‘Wait? Duke Jingwu of Wei? Li Jing!’ Li Xin still remembers the name of characters in the Encyclopedia of the game

He believes this has something to do with his power level. Li Xin discover that as he grows stronger and his Qi become more abundant, there is more things that he could remember.

His memories become sharper and his reaction speed become faster.

He could see that the introduction also spoke that this manual is composed during the time of Taizong.

Taizong…. then that means it is Li Shimin

Li Xin keep reading the pages detailing the history of the manual.

It spoke of Duke Jingwu of Wei

Duke Jingwu of Wei is the Great General of Tang, Li Jing, courtesy name Yaoshi

This man serves three Emperor and two dynasties and in both he is an extraordinary man. In his early years, he served Emperor Yang of Sui in the late years of Sui dynasty

Then he served Gaozu Li Yuan and Taizong Li Shimin

This man lives an illustrious life, living during a time of chaos and warfare.

Duke Jingwu is known to have great talents and handsome and ambitious when he is young, talented both in literary and military matters,

Li Jing mastery of Sun Tzu’s and Wu Qi’s strategies had served him well in the year leading to his rise

He is also one of the most powerful general in Tang history and also one of the twenty-four people whose portraits is hang inside the Lingyan Pavilion

This is the general knowledge about him. And this is the knowledge in his history, so far it is the same. But Li Xin could tell that this Li Jing in this world is a bit different.

he is curious of the story but then he closes the book.

He did not continue reading the book instead he looks at that girl.
