Diligence System: From Servant to Martial King-Chapter 345 - 274: Forbidden Candle Sect, Jie Xumiao Clothing, Madam’s Filthy Attire, Beauties and Lovely Companions

Chapter 345: Chapter 274: Forbidden Candle Sect, Jie Xumiao Clothing, Madam’s Filthy Attire, Beauties and Lovely Companions

Nangong Liuli’s charming face blossomed with beauty. The flower ship navigated through the reef forest, occasionally jolting upon impact. She swayed left and right like a wind chime, already accustomed to it, treating it as normal. She spoke to Li Xian about the secrets of Muddy Clothes.

She said, "Muddy Clothes are also known as destiny. The characteristics of Muddy Clothes are divided into three levels and nine categories. The lowest level is ’Tattered Broken Clothes’."

Li Xian was curious, "Tattered Broken Clothes?" He felt particularly intrigued. Wen Caishang was highly proficient in the characteristics of "Muddy Clothes Worn," hiding pride within her words. He had been curious and pursued inquiry into the characteristics of the Second Realm. Wen Caishang had spoken a little, but never discussed it in detail. Yet she generously taught a variety of Daoist studies, willing to impart them all.

In fact, she was also willing to teach martial arts knowledge. Her husband could not be mediocre; he must be a figure of eternal fame, and she loved him to the extreme, cherished him greatly. But she feared his talent, loved him to the bone, wishing to slow down his cultivation momentum. Then she could thoroughly train him, making him completely hers.

Nangong Liuli said, "’Tattered Broken Clothes’ resemble a beggar’s attire. Torn and breezy, unable to shield from cold or provide defense, entirely useless."

"The majority of Second Realm martial artists have ’Tattered Broken Clothes.’ With such a characteristic, the mysteries of Muddy Clothes Worn are unrelated to them."

Li Xian found it very surprising, nodding silently, pondering, "That Black-faced Bat King is indeed in the Martial Arts Second Realm, having experienced Ethereal Immortal Sound, Top Gathering of Three Flowers, Muddy Clothes Worn, among many characteristics. When I fought him, I did not see him manifest the mysteries of Muddy Clothes Worn. Presumably, they are Tattered Broken Clothes, lacking any profound mysteries." Nangong Liuli’s pretty face turned slightly red after a long conversation; her mouth was dry, and she said, "The mysteries of Muddy Clothes Worn are numerous; it might take a while to explain. Please give me a drink first."

Li Xian opened the water bag to help Nangong Liuli drink clear water. Nangong Liuli’s mouth was dry; her lips touched the bag’s mouth, drinking like sweet rain. Suddenly, she realized this was the bag Li Xian carried with him, and he often drank from it using his mouth. Her pretty face couldn’t help but turn red, but she then thought, it was hard to escape, could she preserve her innocence? Being spoiled was unavoidable, but at least the flower thief was handsome and far better than the others. Though she felt sad, given the situation, she could only adapt and accept.

Nangong Liuli continued, "The second type of Muddy Clothes is named ’Plain Cloth Garment,’ akin to ordinary city folk attire. Simple yet neat."

Li Xian thought, "These ways... If not understood in advance, even the weak will be difficult to predict. The path of martial arts is too high a threshold. Family clans have hundreds, even thousands of years of research cultivating martial arts. As wanderers, we have to blindly stumble through."

He asked, "What peculiar usefulness does ’Plain Cloth Garment’ have?"

Nangong Liuli gave a sideways glance and asked, "Do you think ordinary people’s clothing has any peculiarity?"

Li Xian said, "To cover the skin, to keep warm?" Nangong Liuli heard the words "cover the skin," her pretty face lightly reddened. When captured and bound, she wore a fine dress; her clothing was still intact. But when the flower ship struck the reef and waves surged, the ship swayed violently, her skirt fluttering, whether it could cover the skin was hard to tell. But she could do nothing but endure and accept with shame.

Nangong Liuli said, "This type of Muddy Clothes is of little use, almost useless, but slightly better than ’Tattered Broken Clothes.’ Muddy Clothes can entirely cover the body, better resisting cold than ordinary clay embryo mortals.’

"The third type of Muddy Clothes is ’Brocade Furnace Garment.’ It is superior to ’Plain Cloth Garment,’ but in terms of peculiar usefulness, apart from slightly better cold resistance, it is indeed useless."

"Though of no use, those bestowed ’Brocade Furnace Garment’ belong to the upper tier of the Second Realm. Their foundation, destiny, martial arts... are all the best selections."

Li Xian nodded secretly, upon hearing "Tattered Broken Clothes," "Plain Cloth Garment," "Brocade Furnace Garment," with no disdain in his heart. He found it quite remarkable, recalling the various Second Realm martial artists he had encountered. The elder clansmen of the prefecture city were likely all at the brocade furnace garment level.

Nangong Liuli saw Li Xian drinking from the mouth to mouth, her cheeks flushed, she turned her eyes away, heart pounding. Li Xian asked, "What comes next?"

Nangong Liuli said, "These three types are the Lower Level. The next belongs to the Middle Level of Muddy Clothes."

"The fourth type is ’Gathering Misty Gauze Garment.’ This type of Muddy Clothes lightly envelops the body, intangible and without substance, fluttering like gauze. Hence called ’gauze garment,’ floating lightly yet can resist punches and kicks. The wearer concentrates to repel, blows are difficult to penetrate."

"If you wear this garment, you may stand out among peers. Do you know Vajra Temple?"

Li Xian recalled the "Martial Fool." His Vajra Palm Power was extremely strong, enough to injure Wen Caishang. Even though Wen Caishang was weakened from Thunder Injury, she still easily defeated the Four Heroes of Taixin, revealing how fierce the Martial Fool’s palm power was.

Nangong Liuli said, "Vajra Temple is located in the Western Regions. Their martial arts are extremely vigorous, they have a set method called ’Vajra Shield.’ Only those with Middle Level Muddy Clothes can reveal their might."

"Those wearing ’Gathering Misty Gauze Garment’ can display ’Vajra Shield.’ Golden light bursts forth; the garment appears and disappears. Vajra Shield combines toughness and gentleness, very formidable!"

Li Xian asked, "Have you seen it?" Nangong Liuli said, "Not only seen it but quite a few times. Vajra Temple and many Western Region temples come to Daoxuan Mountain every few years for debates and martial art discussions, a major Jianghu event."

Li Xian felt curious, listening with fascination. He asked, "What comes next?"

Nangong Liuli said, "After ’Gathering Misty Gauze Garment’ comes ’Pure Gang Qi Clothing.’ If adorned with this Muddy Clothes, indeed one is a phoenix among people, a rarity."

"Of course... Muddy Clothes are destined by heaven, but humans may triumph over destiny. Even with Tattered Broken Clothes, one may still reach the peak, grasp stars and moons one day." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"’Pure Gang Qi Clothing’ can only be worn by those destined with great fortune. Their Muddy Clothes are very strong, tightly guarding the body. Ordinary clay embryo mortals, even with a blade wielded with force, cannot harm a bit!"
