Chapter 28: How Should the Next Cultivation Be Written?

Before Xu Yan's successful cultivation, Li Xuan had been making things up with the intention of deceiving people, so he did so without any psychological pressure, making it as mysterious as possible.

He didn't need to consider whether it could actually be cultivated.

After all, it was just made up; how could it possibly succeed?

However, the prodigy Xu Yan not only succeeded in cultivating the made-up technique but also triggered the golden finger, which directly led to Li Xuan's technique reaching perfection, making his strength a hundred times greater than others at the same level.

Now, when it came to writing the next cultivation technique, he couldn't let his imagination run wild anymore.

After all, it was related to whether it could be successfully cultivated and whether he could continue to receive feedback from the golden finger to enhance himself.

With psychological pressure, his thoughts multiplied.

When writing, he had to consider whether the theory was reliable.

Whether there were any loopholes.

If it wasn't mysterious enough, he worried that the strength wouldn't be strong enough.

If it was too mysterious, he feared that Xu Yan wouldn't be able to understand it and continue cultivating.

In short, when he started to write the next level of cultivation, Li Xuan realized that he had been thinking too simply.

With this psychological pressure, he became overly cautious and anxious!

"Damn! I might as well just make it up and let my disciple worry about it, to understand and cultivate it."

"But no, if he can't understand it, won't I be the one who suffers?"

"What's wrong with this damn golden finger?"

Li Xuan looked troubled.

The golden finger had been triggered, but after giving him cultivation, it disappeared as if it never existed.

"Because Xu Yan successfully cultivated the technique I made up, the golden finger was triggered. So, to get feedback, I still need to rely on Xu Yan. This kid is too much of a prodigy, with an extraordinary understanding."

"So, when I write the technique, I need to ensure the levels are well-connected, and the specific cultivation methods should be left for Xu Yan to understand on his own."

"I just need to write a set of theories and techniques that sound mysterious."

Li Xuan took a deep breath, clarified the direction for writing the technique, and then focused on how to construct this illusory theory.

Write techniques that sound mysterious.

Everything else would be left for Xu Yan to understand on his own.

Since he could understand the cultivation from refining the skin, bones, and organs, why couldn't he do the same for the next level?

"The bone-refining technique I wrote was 'Cultivate the True Intent, Blood and Qi Like a Dragon, Casting a Golden Body.' So, I'll write two more lines for the Blood and Qi realm to help Xu Yan understand and speed up his cultivation."

Li Xuan recalled that the two lines he had made up before helped Xu Yan find the method to refine golden bones, and even refine jade bones.

So, the technique was important, and it needed to be mysterious but not too vague.

Leave it for Xu Yan to understand.

"The next realm after the Blood and Qi realm will be the Innate realm. I don't need to rush to write it; I'll start with the Blood and Qi realm technique."

Even without the technique, the direction of cultivation was already determined, and he could still cultivate to the peak of the Blood and Qi realm.

However, if he wrote the technique, and Xu Yan understood something from it, his cultivation speed would greatly increase, and his strength would be even stronger.

As Xu Yan's strength increased, his own strength as a master would also increase.

He was currently at the peak of the Blood and Qi realm, with strength a hundred times greater than others at the same level, which was based on his disciple Xu Yan.

His current strength was a hundred times greater than Xu Yan's peak Blood and Qi realm.

If Xu Yan's strength, due to understanding the technique, was much stronger than the current method, his own strength would naturally be even stronger.

So, the technique must be written.

The techniques for refining the skin, bones, organs, and the basic martial arts cultivation methods were already mastered by Li Xuan when the golden finger gave him the feedback.

This was already a complete basic martial arts cultivation system.

It was based on Xu Yan's cultivation and understanding. With this real and cultivable technique as a foundation, Li Xuan had a general direction for writing the Blood and Qi realm technique and leaving it for Xu Yan to understand on his own.

The fundamental reason for writing the Blood and Qi realm technique was to help Xu Yan understand a more powerful and efficient method of cultivation.

To enhance the strength of the Blood and Qi realm.

"The Blood and Qi realm is about strengthening blood and qi and the physical body. So, the foundation of cultivation is to improve the quality and quantity of blood and qi and the upper limit of the physical body..."

"Since it's about cultivating blood and qi, using this as the technique should be fine, right?"

After some thought, Li Xuan wrote four lines of the technique.

"Four lines it is. That's it. I'll leave it to my foolish disciple to worry about. Even if he can't understand anything, it won't hinder his continued cultivation..."

"Reaching the peak of the Blood and Qi realm is just a matter of time. The important thing is that my foolish disciple can continue to be a prodigy and cultivate the made-up Innate realm."

Li Xuan exhaled, crossed his arms behind his back, and walked out of the room with a stern teacher's demeanor.

Xu Yan was cultivating and consolidating his realm.

"Disciple, come here. I will teach you the Blood and Qi realm technique."

Li Xuan called out.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan ran over excitedly.

The Blood and Qi realm technique!

"Listen carefully. The Blood and Qi realm technique has four lines. If you can understand the true meaning, your cultivation will progress rapidly, and it won't take long to reach the peak of the Blood and Qi realm."

Li Xuan's tone became more serious.

"Yes, Master. I will understand the technique and won't let you down!"

Xu Yan promised, patting his chest.

"I'm glad you have this confidence. Do your best. Even if you can't understand the true meaning, it won't hinder your cultivation."

Li Xuan's tone softened.

He couldn't push his disciple too hard. If the psychological pressure became too great, it might backfire, and he wouldn't be able to understand the technique.

"I understand!"

Xu Yan nodded.

"Good!"

Li Xuan nodded and slowly said, "Listen carefully. The four lines of the Blood and Qi realm technique are: 'A thousand streams and ten thousand rivers converge into a great river, ten thousand miles of rushing water flow into the ocean; waves rise a thousand feet high, blood and qi can shake ten thousand mountains!'"

When Xu Yan heard the last line, he couldn't help but mutter, "Blood and qi can shake ten thousand mountains?"

He felt the grandeur and power of this line.

Li Xuan coughed and said, "Disciple, remember, the method I teach you emphasizes understanding and meaning, not form or surface!"

He repeated the old advice, reminding Xu Yan again.

"Yes, Master, I understand!"

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

At that moment, his mind was filled with the four lines of the technique.

"Good, go and consolidate your cultivation."

Li Xuan nodded.

He felt relieved, having finally passed on the technique to Xu Yan. Whether he could succeed or not was up to him.

If he couldn't understand it, it wasn't his fault as a master.

Next, he needed to focus on the Innate realm.

How should he make it more mysterious and ensure it could connect with the Blood and Qi realm theoretically, without leaving it hanging or making it impossible to start?

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan bowed respectfully and returned to his cultivation place.

He began to understand the four lines of the technique, thinking, "No wonder it's a technique passed down by Master. It sounds like poetry, mysterious and profound, containing boundless martial arts principles."

"I must understand it and not let Master down!"
