After listening to Shi Er's explanation, Li Xuan shook his head with a dismissive look and chuckled, "A mere thousand or ten thousand miles, and you call it the Endless Mountains? That's just the view of ordinary people!"
He displayed the image of a high-ranking cultivator.
Shi Er's body trembled, and his breathing became heavier.
"Indeed, he is a peerless high-ranking cultivator. In his eyes, we are just ordinary people. The Endless Mountains, which we see as vast, are nothing to him!"
His heart burned with excitement. If he could receive guidance from such a high-ranking cultivator, perhaps he could also transcend the ordinary?
"Senior, it is just because we ordinary people are weak and cannot cross them that we call them the Endless Mountains!"
Shi Er said, feeling ashamed.
Li Xuan remained noncommittal.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared.
"Your disciple has shocked the capital of Qi, collapsing the worldviews of the ministers. Your mysterious aura has been strengthened."
The mysterious aura instantly increased by more than double.
At that moment, Shi Er's expression changed, and he bowed even lower, his demeanor becoming even more respectful and fervent.
A high-ranking cultivator!
At that instant, the person on the chair gave him a sense of mystery, grandeur, and profundity, as if he were a reclusive high-ranking cultivator who did not exist in the world.
Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised. The mysterious aura could actually be strengthened?
At that moment, he could feel that after using the mysterious aura, he became even more enigmatic and possessed the aura of a peerless high-ranking cultivator.
His mood instantly improved.
Xu Yan, his disciple, had already gone to the capital of Qi to show off.
He waved his hand, dismissing Shi Er.
"I will take my leave!"
Shi Er bowed and retreated.
"Meng Chong!"
Li Xuan called out.
"Master, what do you need?"
The bald young man Meng Chong hurried over.
Li Xuan picked up a Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi and said, "Cut a bit off and go stew some chicken soup!"
It had been a long time since he had eaten chicken soup stewed with Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi, and he was craving it!
"Yes, Master!"
Meng Chong took the Nine-Leaf Yuanzhi and went to cook.
Life with disciples serving him was indeed relaxing and comfortable.
Li Xuan lay on the chair, squinting his eyes, and began to ponder what cultivation technique he should teach Meng Chong.
"Skin refinement, bone refinement, organ refinement, and the Qi and Blood Realm... This set of cultivation techniques was compiled for Xu Yan. It wouldn't work for Meng Chong. Only a new technique can bring great gains.
"Basic martial arts, skin refinement, bone refinement, and organ refinement are inevitable, but the methods of cultivation can be different.
"When Xu Yan cultivates, he only knows some crude martial arts, at a third-rate level. Meng Chong has a robust physique and innate strength beyond that of ordinary people. Although he is only a first-rate martial artist, he can still contend with top martial artists...
"Since Meng Chong's talent lies in his physical body, we should focus on this aspect."
Li Xuan decided to focus on Meng Chong's talent and compile a new cultivation technique to see if Meng Chong could successfully cultivate it.
If he could, it would provide a direction for future disciples.
He also had a clear direction for how to compile the new technique.
"Master, it's time to eat!"
Meng Chong had finished cooking.
"Good!"
Li Xuan nodded.
Meng Chong's cooking skills were actually quite good, perhaps because he had left home at a young age to learn martial arts and had also cooked for others.
However, compared to Xu Yan, he was still a bit lacking.
"Disciple, you need to improve your cooking skills. When your senior brother returns, you can learn from him," Li Xuan said.
"Yes, Master!"
Meng Chong touched his bald head, looking somewhat ashamed.
"Tomorrow, I will teach you martial arts. For today, rest and reflect."
After the meal, Li Xuan left a message and returned to his room to compile the technique.
Meng Chong was filled with anticipation. What martial arts would his high-ranking master teach him?
In the room, Li Xuan took a pen and began writing the draft of the cultivation technique.
"Let's make a distinction. Xu Yan cultivates pure martial arts, while Meng Chong will focus on the physical body, with the main emphasis on physical cultivation.
"So, we can call it Physical Body Martial Arts.
"However, Physical Body Martial Arts do not abandon the core of martial arts; they just emphasize physical cultivation, with all strength manifested in a robust physical body.
"Therefore, what I will teach Meng Chong is an attempt to create a new school within martial arts, the Physical Body Martial Arts!"
Meng Chong was naturally bald, with knotted muscles and a robust physique.
His talent was clearly in his physical body.
Thus, a flash of inspiration came to Li Xuan, and he decided to try to create a new school within martial arts, focusing on physical cultivation.
If successful, it would provide a reference for future disciples.
"The foundation of martial arts lies in skin refinement, bone refinement, and organ refinement. Traditional martial arts start with skin refinement, while Physical Body Martial Arts combine all three, cultivating them simultaneously.
"Traditional martial arts can refine Jade Bones, while Physical Body Martial Arts can refine Vajra Crystal Bones, which are not inferior to Jade Bones but are different.
"The initial cultivation method for Physical Body Martial Arts could start with the Golden Bell Cover?"
Li Xuan fell into deep thought. He was already a martial artist with full Qi and Blood.
He had mastered the cultivation methods of the Qi and Blood Realm, so compiling the basic and Qi and Blood Realm cultivation methods was easier than when he had no knowledge and was completely guessing.
However, the choice of the initial physical cultivation method was key.
"Or the Iron Shirt? But let's go with the Golden Bell Cover. Qi and Blood like a bell, no leaks in the body…
"Let's call it the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover. This corresponds to the cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm.
"The Great Sun Golden Bell Cover I compile will have no weak points. To break through the defense, one must use overwhelming strength to shatter the golden bell, not look for any weak points.
"This is the flawless golden bell."
Li Xuan pondered the initial cultivation method.
The Great Sun Golden Bell Cover!
"Next, I need to compile the cultivation method for the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover… It's a bit challenging, as skin, bone, and organ refinement are combined, making it difficult…
"This is not traditional martial arts, focusing on special talents, so the difficulty is normal. For those with such talents, the difficulty won't be great.
"First, sensing Qi and Blood is essential. Then, the Qi and Blood return to the organs, flow through the bones, and return to the skin… forming a cycle.
"Stimulating the organs, invigorating the Qi and Blood, shaking the bones, and impacting the skin… from inside to outside, or from outside to inside, all three are cultivated together, refining the physical body golden bell…
"Successfully cultivating the basic Physical Body Golden Bell, followed by the golden bell resonating, the Qi and Blood transforming into the flawless golden bell, covering the entire body… this marks the entry into the Qi and Blood Realm of Physical Body Martial Arts."
With the reference of the Qi and Blood Realm, Li Xuan compiled the cultivation method for the Great Sun Golden Bell Cover more smoothly, gradually completing it.
Of course, this technique was somewhat crude and not detailed, even with the reference of the Qi and Blood Realm. It was impossible to compile it in detail.
Ultimately, it would depend on Meng Chong to understand and refine the specific cultivation method from this technique.
Therefore, when passing the technique to Meng Chong, Li Xuan would still remind him to focus on understanding and intention, rather than the surface of the technique.
Form is not important; understanding and intention are key.
"Given Meng Chong's brain, his comprehension is definitely not bad. He should be able to understand and successfully cultivate it, right?"
Li Xuan had confidence in Meng Chong.
In Meng Chong's eyes, he was a peerless high-ranking cultivator, and he would undoubtedly have deep faith in the technique he passed down, striving to understand it with all his might.
