The appearance of heavy pupils and strange eyes can captivate the soul.

Just by looking at Li Xian's vertical mole between his eyebrows, he was already exceptionally handsome, and with the addition of heavy pupils and strange eyes, he exuded an impressive aura. Whoever saw this peculiar appearance would undoubtedly be moved.

Nothing less than an immortal descending to the mortal world.

The Qi Lake was growing, its waves surged violently, already reaching over ten meters.

His Qi Power was overwhelming, as if capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards, or capturing dragons with his bare hands.

Li Xian's breathing was long and extended as he subtly sensed the changes within himself. The itching in his eyes ceased, and the flow of time seemed to slow.

He was doing a one-handed handstand, seeing the world upside down. An even more intricate panorama of all things was displayed in his eyes.

Distant mosquitoes, dirt on grass, cicadas vibrating on tree trunks, the wing patterns, the veins in leaves…

All these details were displayed in his eyes.

Looking far ahead, his vision extended wider and farther. The night was like an ink-colored veil, but it could not obscure his sight.

He could see the distant mountain peaks, gaze through the gaps between trees, see the streams flowing, and deer and beasts drinking water in the forest.

The acuity of his vision was terrifying!

These details had been in his eyes all along. However, restrained by the strength of his vision, he could see but not perceive them, missing out on so much fun.

"Hmm?"

Li Xian suddenly felt the courtyard wall becoming transparent, focused his attention, circulated Inner Qi to his eyes, and his vision could penetrate the walls.

He saw a distant courtyard where two nursing home attendants were idling, sitting on stone benches and chatting leisurely.

Li Xian shifted his angle.

Looking toward the Summer Pill Pavilion, intending to secretly observe alchemical skills.

He first saw a fully revealing, beautifully radiant, and delightfully graceful scene.

"Does alchemy require undressing? Madam truly lives up to her reputation as a beautiful woman in the Jianghu, with such a figure, such..." Li Xian stroked his chin, observing with interest.

Li Xian was not an upright person; with the wisdom of two lifetimes, though he adhered to his principles, he was gradually adapting to this world's rules.

Besides, heroes also have difficulties with beautiful women, the true nature of men. Though Li Xian considered himself resilient enough to overcome the temptation, he couldn't deny his fondness for beauty.

The madam moved her lotus feet lightly with an elegant posture, her skin like condensed fat, yet due to the firelight's reflection, a faint rosy glow was added.

She was observing the elixirs within the furnace.

Under the scorching flames, various medicinal materials fused and gradually took the shape of an elixir.

The situation was promising, close to completion, uplifting her spirits. Madam Wen thought, "If this elixir succeeds, my power will advance to the next level, which will be a significant advantage at the Dragon Appreciation Banquet."

Suddenly feeling a strange sensation in her heart, her joy subsided, and her brows furrowed.

She flipped her palm over, retrieving the translucent gauze into her hand, turned around and donned her clothes.

However, these clothes were not meant for cover.

They served no real purpose but rather added an enigmatic beauty.

Madam's face darkened, her eyes filled with suspicion, still feeling something as she softly cried out, "Where is this rogue from? Don't you want to live!"

Moments later, her anger dissipated, turning into bewilderment. The Alchemy Pavilion was airtight, without windows or similar structures.

Where did this prying light come from? Could it be an illusion? Given her strength, if someone harbored ill intentions nearby, how could they escape her detection?

Li Xian was secretly amazed, knowing the madam was sensitive enough to detect someone peeking. Though this "x-ray vision" was wonderful, he dared not use it recklessly in front of others.

Another breath passed.

His eyes were weary, bloodshot, as he reluctantly closed them to rest for half an hour.

The next day.

Morning.

Li Xian sat cross-legged; when he opened his eyes, the unusual appearance of his eyes faded. But his eyes were now deeper, with inner brilliance.

After a night's contemplation.

[Heavy Pupil Appearance] was truly extraordinary, possessing the power to frighten dragons and tigers, comparable to the strength of dragons and elephants, and the ability to detect minute details.

Li Xian's dual appearance was already astonishing and beyond understanding. The red mole between his brows was prominent enough for people to notice at a glance.

This peculiar pupil could serve as a hidden trump card.

The heavy pupils themselves were intimidating, and once they opened, the aura was overwhelmingly captivating.

In the manor, several dozen wolves were kept to prevent theft, locked near the western courtyard. Li Xian's heavy pupils swept across, and all wolves fell silent, tails tucked, whimpering miserably.

This showed the power of this strange appearance.

...

...

Vegetarian Restaurant.

"Commander, why does it seem like... you have changed again?"

At noon, after the nursing home attendants finished their patrol, Ding Hu and Li Xian were dining at the Vegetarian Restaurant.

The dishes at the Vegetarian Restaurant were simple, not as colorful and fragrant as those in city restaurants. However, the ingredients were high-quality, and the portions of meat and soup were generous.

The A-class meal is the highest standard at the Vegetarian Restaurant, offering beef and lamb dishes, and occasionally some body-strengthening medicated meals.

Ding Hu examined Li Xian, his heart pounding, instinctively feeling both fear and respect.

Li Xian said casually, "It's an illusion."

Ding Hu said, "Commander Li, last time you demonstrated your supreme power, becoming widely renowned not only in our manor but also throughout Qingning County."

"Really?" Li Xian was unfazed.

Ding Hu reminded him, "Commander Li, the weather is good today, and it's time to tidy up the arsenal in the manor."

"The arsenal?" Li Xian was puzzled.

Ding Hu said, "You're young, your martial arts are extraordinary, but since you haven't been here long, there are certain things you're unaware of. Previously, when Commander Pang was in charge, every few years, the arsenal weapons would be taken out, washed in spring water, and laid out to dry."

"The arsenal is the place where we select our weapons. All our swords, spears, and staffs come from there. However, you probably haven't been there; you received your narrow blade directly from the previous head of the Nursing Home."

"I've always heard the townsfolk in a panic, saying how the Yellow Dragon Army might come. I figured we ought to be a bit prepared, let those iron weapons see the light, and have everyone practice a bit."

"If they really attack, we won't be caught off guard, right? Commander Li, what do you think..."

Hearing this, Li Xian thought to himself: "I rose from being a servant to become a commander. My weapon is just a narrow blade, so I've never known about the arsenal's existence. This Ding Hu is indeed of some use."

Li Xian has always been a person who reveals one hand, hides another, and conceals yet another. Although the Yellow Dragon Army matter is not yet certain, he had already made preliminary preparations.

He patted Ding Hu on the shoulder, praising him: "You reminded me well. Today it is still early, and there is more than an hour until the afternoon patrol duty."

"Gather everyone and lead the way to the arsenal!"

Ding Hu received the order, silently acknowledging that Commander Li was swift and decisive, never delaying. Since he assumed the position, the sycophantic atmosphere of the Nursing Home had greatly improved, which was a good thing.

It didn't take long.

The people were all assembled, but Li Xian didn't know where the arsenal was, so Ding Hu led the way.

The manor occupied a vast area. Within it were mountains, forests, and lakes. Deep within a forest, a small hut covered with vines came into view.

The plaque above it bore the words "Arsenal," but due to neglect, the characters were severely worn.

"I heard from Commander Pang that when Madam first came here to establish the manor, she wanted to live peacefully to improve her martial arts. However, the local powers were not happy with it, and seeing Madam occupy such vast land, they even planned to seize it."

"Commander Pang represented Madam to negotiate with them. After several clashes, Commander Pang emerged victorious, and many of the weapons were seized during that time."

"Additionally, over the years, various martial artists from the Jianghu have attempted to explore Yihetang Manor. Some were stopped by Commander Pang, while others were dealt with by Madam. The strange weapons of these people have also been added to the arsenal."

Ding Hu explained.

He pushed open the door.

A chilling cold rushed out, and the room was pitch black. Ding Hu lit a fire stick, intending to ignite the oil lamps inside. But due to the intense cold and ominous aura inside, it extinguished as soon as it entered.

After several attempts, he barely managed to light three oil lamps.

Looking around, swords, spears, and staffs were everywhere, not at all rare. Additionally, large iron shields, meteor iron hammers, tridents... and other weapons were eye-opening to Li Xian.

The Nursing Home staff worked together to move the weapons to a spacious open area.

They washed them with well water and dried them.

Some people, feeling playful, tried swinging them around. Whoosh, the sound of the wind occasionally echoed.

Li Xian curiously observed, his gaze falling on a stone sword.

"Commander Li, this stone sword once belonged to a Jianghu expert. A heavy sword without a sharp edge, a gentle swing can shatter stones and astound the heavens."

"It takes four or five of us from the Nursing Home to barely lift it."

Ding Hu explained.

"Oh really?"

Li Xian held the hilt of the sword, gently exerted force, and easily lifted it from the rack. He then casually swung it a couple of times, creating a deep sound in the wind.

If it hit a person, it could lightly break bones and render flesh and blood half useless. If heavy, it could crush the waist and take a life.

"It's not particularly heavy." Li Xian tossed it lightly and caught it again, treating the stone sword as a toy.

Ding Hu was stunned, his mouth agape in shock. He had carried this sword before, alongside Pang Long, exhausting them after walking three miles.

Their whole body ached, taking more than half a month to recover.

Once he regained his senses, he gave a thumbs up, filled with admiration.

Commander Li is truly extraordinary!

"There are indeed many good tools here, and that stone sword was quite nice, very handy to use."

"One thing Commander Pang said wasn't wrong. A martial artist should try various martial arts, gather knowledge and experience. Ultimately choose one specialty and deeply study it."

"The more one learns, the more composed they are in a fight. By combining the strengths of many, one can achieve greatness."

"Perhaps I should take this opportunity to select a weapon and practice a martial art, change my equipment."

His gaze fell on a long spear.

The spear emitted a silvery light, its cold gleam piercing, cool to the touch. The spear's tail was spherical, containing a gun pill.

When the long spear was swung, the gun pill bounced around, making a noise, disrupting one's focus. Even Li Xian, wielding the spear, was affected, feeling irritated.

"Commander Li, this is the Saliva Bell Spear. We never move it. Once the bell at the spear's tail moves, it rings, disturbing the mind. Once, a Nursing Home member, having listened too much to the bell's ringing, went into a berserk state, their inner qi went chaotic, and they died abruptly a few days later."

Ding Hu covered his ears, hurriedly advising.

Li Xian lightly acknowledged, putting the spear back in its place, "This spear was crafted by a Jianghu expert based on his own martial arts. That person must have been formidable, only to have provoked Madam, thus meeting his end."

Madam's fierce reputation gained another point.

…

Li Xian's narrow blade felt blunt.

Taking this opportunity, he switched to a new weapon. Although there were many weapons here, they were in disarray.

After quite a selection, he found a suitable weapon.

It was a long blade, thin and long, single-edged, with a black blade appearing to be made of black profound stone mixed with fine steel.

The material far exceeded that of the Nursing Home's narrow blade.

He tried swinging it a couple of times, practicing the Daluo Saber Technique, the power significantly enhanced with the blade's weight being suitable.

He placed it in his pouch.

Li Xian was in good spirits. His whole being felt renewed, having practiced good martial arts, gained a new appearance, and changed his weapon.

His strength, situation, and future... had changed drastically.

"Though all this is true, everything I have gained was bestowed by Madam. If she wanted to take it back, it would only take a word. I must work hard, and one day, pave a new path with my own efforts."

"By then... I too shall be famous across the land, gain a reputation in Jianghu, and be able to protect my territory. Establish a manor, raise a cauldron... and if I can hold a beauty in my arms, all the better."

Thinking of such scenes, Li Xian couldn't help but yearn, full of motivation, returning to the Nursing Home to train diligently.
