Chapter 40: Finally Leaving the Beginner Village (Requesting Follows)

Li Xuan explained the cultivation method for the Innate Realm he had compiled in one breath.

"Disciple, have you remembered it?"

This was the first time Li Xuan had spent a great deal of effort to compile the cultivation method for the Innate Realm. The theory and framework were much more complete than the basic cultivation methods for the Skin, Bone, and Organ stages.

It also pointed out the location of the Heavenly Bridge and the Dantian Qi Sea.

With such a more detailed cultivation method, Xu Yan should theoretically find it easier to comprehend and succeed in cultivation.

"Master, I have remembered it!"

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

"Regarding the Innate method, while you cultivate, carefully ponder it. Do not neglect the cultivation of the Blood Qi stage, and do not aim too high.

"Be down-to-earth!"

Li Xuan sternly instructed again.

"Master, I understand. Before my Blood Qi reaches perfection, I will absolutely not cultivate the Innate method or attempt to break through."

Xu Yan solemnly said.

"Hmm!"

Li Xuan nodded and continued, "There are four lines that explain the Innate Realm; you should also remember them."

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan's spirit was invigorated, and he showed an excited expression.

"Heavenly Bridge connects to transcend the mundane, swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy to return to the Innate, true energy vast and boundless, riding the qi to soar into the blue sky."

Li Xuan said each word clearly.

"Heavenly Bridge connects to transcend the mundane... riding the qi to soar into the blue sky?"

Xu Yan murmured, repeating it. He felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

It seemed that the Innate Realm was not far from him!

"During your free time, ponder it. When your Blood Qi reaches perfection, you will be able to break through to the Innate Realm."

Li Xuan glanced at his disciple.

The cultivation method for the Innate Realm had been passed on to his disciple, but when he would comprehend it was unknown.

However, he believed that with Xu Yan's comprehension and his strong ability to fill in the gaps, and his firm belief in the martial arts he had taught, he would certainly be able to comprehend it.

"It's about time to take another disciple.

"The disciple must have good comprehension and a broad imagination to be able to comprehend the fabricated cultivation methods."

Li Xuan pondered.

The cultivation method for the Blood Qi stage was already complete. If he passed it on to a new disciple, would he also receive feedback?

Would the new disciple be able to cultivate successfully?

But Li Xuan had a hunch that the new disciple must cultivate the newly compiled method to receive greater feedback.

He believed this hunch was correct.

Therefore, to take another disciple, he would need to compile another set of cultivation methods.

The realm could remain the same, but the methods must be different!

"Having gained experience, it will be relatively easier to compile, but finding a suitable disciple is difficult.

"An ordinary person definitely won't do; they lack good comprehension and a strong ability to fill in the gaps.

"They definitely won't be able to cultivate successfully."

Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan, who was immersed in the Innate Realm cultivation method. He knew clearly that if it weren't for this foolish disciple, with his excellent comprehension and strong ability to fill in the gaps, and his firm belief in the martial arts he had taught, he wouldn't have cultivated successfully.

And thus, activated his golden finger.

Therefore, the requirements for a disciple's talent must not be low.

"Qin State is vast; I will surely find a second suitable disciple."

Li Xuan was full of anticipation.

If not in Qin State, he could go to Wu State.

"I can also look for one or two suitable people, not as disciples, but as servants. I can pass on the Blood Qi stage cultivation method to see the results.

"If the servants are not suitable, what about registered disciples?

"How can a reclusive expert like me casually take disciples?

"So, it should be servants."

Li Xuan had some ideas.

Whether the already cultivated martial arts methods could be successfully cultivated by others was unclear.

Even if they could, there would certainly be certain requirements for their talent.

The feedback from later cultivators would not be high.

This was a hunch that appeared in Li Xuan's heart, and he believed it was related to his golden finger.

Therefore, to gain greater feedback, it still depended on taking disciples and compiling new cultivation methods.

So, it was time to leave.

Li Xuan looked at his disciple, who was still pondering the Innate Realm method, and said, "Disciple, pack your luggage; it's time to leave."

"Master, what's wrong?"

Xu Yan was taken aback.

"I should go out and walk around."

Li Xuan said calmly.

"Master, you're not going to seclude yourself anymore?"

Xu Yan looked surprised.

"Since I have taken a disciple, it's time to enter the world. Besides, where can't one seclude oneself?

"Great seclusion is in the city!"

Li Xuan said with a profound expression.

"Great seclusion is in the city?"

Xu Yan murmured, suddenly invigorated. Master truly is a reclusive expert!

Where can't one seclude oneself?

For a true expert, where can't one seclude oneself?

Even a bustling city can be a place of seclusion.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan nodded excitedly and began to pack his luggage.

The luggage was not much.

Apart from a few clothes, it was mainly the gifts for becoming a disciple.

Li Xuan played with a jade ruyi in his hand; he was increasingly fond of this jade ruyi.

...

A horse pulled an old wooden cart out of the forest.

Li Xuan sat in the cart, playing with the jade ruyi, looking at the gradually receding dense forest and mountains, sighing with emotion. Since he had crossed over, he had finally left the mountains.

He had left the small village.

It was now dusk.

Xu Yan led the horse, walking lightly and silently.

The Light Swallowing Body Technique had made significant progress.

"Master, ahead is Yunshan County. Should we stay in Yunshan County or go directly to Donghe Prefecture?"

Xu Yan asked.

"Let's stay in Yunshan County for a while."

Li Xuan pondered and said.

To see if there were any suitable disciples in Yunshan County.

Yunshan County was a small county with a population of only a few ten thousand. On this evening, the county's residents suddenly saw a horse-drawn cart enter the county.

Two young men, one leading the horse and one sitting in the cart.

The young man in the cart was dressed simply but played with a jade ruyi, flawless and clearly very valuable.

A beggar squatting by the roadside stared at the man in the cart for a long time, his face showing excitement, and he signaled to a middle-aged man selling goods nearby.

The middle-aged man nodded silently, packed up his stall, and disappeared into a small alley.

This scene was all seen by Li Xuan.

But he was unmoved.

Hiding wealth is for the weak.

The martial arts level in Qin State was too low; there was no one who could threaten him.

Even if there were powerful cultivators, they wouldn't be interested in the jade ruyi and other items he had.

"Master, my family has a shop in the county and a courtyard. Let's go there now."

Xu Yan said.

"Disciple, you arrange it."

Li Xuan didn't care.

These trivial matters were naturally left to his disciple to handle.

In front of a small courtyard in the core area of the county, Xu Yan knocked on the door. Soon, a servant came out.

"It's Young Master? Young Master, please come in!"

The servant's face lit up with a smile upon seeing Xu Yan.

"Clean everything up and find another place to live."

Xu Yan instructed directly.

"Yes, yes, Young Master, please come in!"

The servant's face showed flattery, and he tried to take the reins, but Xu Yan ignored him and led the horse into the courtyard.

"Master, the county is a small place, and the residence is simple..."

"It's fine."

The servant looked at Li Xuan sitting in the cart, taken aback.

Master?

The richest family's foolish son has been deceived again?
