Li Xuan took a deep breath and finished explaining the cultivation technique of the Innate Realm, which he compiled to Disciple.

“Disciple, have you remembered it?

The cultivation technique of the Innate Realm was the first time he put a lot of thought into it. The theory, framework, and so on were all more complete than practicing skin, bones, and organs of the foundational realm.

It even pointed out the location of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and Qi Sea in the Dantian.

A more detailed method of cultivation like this is usually easier to understand and to practice successfully for Xu Yan.

“Master, Disciple has remembered it!”

Xu Yan respectfully replied.

“As you practice the way of Innate, meditate carefully. Do not neglect the cultivation of the realm of blood, nor be overly ambitious.

“You need to stay grounded!”

Li Xuan once again reminded seriously.

“Master, Disciple understands. Before my Qi and blood are perfected, 1 will absolutely not practice the way of the Innate and attempt to break through.”

Xu Yan solemnly replied.

“Hmm!”

Li Xuan nodded, and then continued, “These four sentences elucidate the realm of Innate, remember them as well.”

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan was energetically uplifted, revealing an excited expression.

“The Heavenly Bridge is connected to shed mortal dust, inhale Spiritual Energy to return to Innate, True Qi vast and endless, commanding the energy to soar into the blue sky.”

Li Xuan spoke word by word.

“The Heavenly Bridge is connected to shed mortal dust… commanding the energy to soar into the blue sky?”

Xu Yan repeated to himself in a murmur. He felt that his heart seemed to gain some insight.

He felt as if the Innate was not far away from him!

“In your leisure time, reflect more. When your Qi and blood are complete, you will be able to break through to the Innate.”

Li Xuan glanced at his disciple.

The way of the Innate Realm had already been passed on to the disciple. When he could gain insight, he had no way of knowing.

But he believed that with Xu Yan’s comprehension and that formidable improvising ability, and firm belief in the Martial Arts he taught,

he could surely gain insight.

ii

It’s about time to find another disciple to test.”

“The disciple must have a high comprehension and a rich imagination to comprehend the made-up cultivation technique.”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

The method of practicing Martial Arts in the Qi-blood realm is already complete, if passed to a new disciple, would it also receive feedback?

Can the new disciples be successful in cultivation?

However, Li Xuan had an intuition that the newly accepted disciples must practice new ways to get more feedback.

He believed this intuition would not be wrong.

Therefore, getting another disciple would need another cultivation technique compiled.

The realm may remain the same, but the cultivation technique must be different!

“After gaining experience, composing will be relatively easier, but good disciples are hard to find.”

“Ordinary people are definitely not suitable. They lack comprehension and are not strong in improvisation.”

“They certainly cannot success in cultivation.”

Looking at Xu Yan engrossed in the tips of the Innate Realm, Li Xuan was very clear, if it not for this silly disciple who has excellent comprehension, strong improvising ability, and firmly believed in the Martial Arts he taught, he would not have been successful in cultivation.

And activated his Golden Finger.

Therefore, the requirement for the talent of disciples absolutely cannot be low.

“In such a bigQi Country, I can surely find a second suitable disciple.”

Li Xuan was full of expectations.

If he can’t find one in Qi Country, he could go to Wu Country.

“I can also look for one or two suitable persons, if not accepting them as disciples, accepting them as servants should be possible, right? Teaching them the cultivation technique of the Qi-blood realm, to see the effects.

“If servants are not suitable, how about registered disciples?”

“As a secluded master, how can I casually accept disciples?

“Therefore, it’s better to be servants.”

Li Xuan had a few thoughts.

The practiced method of Martial Arts, it is temporarily unknown whether it can be practiced successfully if taught to others.

Even if it can be practiced successfully, there should be certain requirements for the aptitude.

The feedback received by successors is not high.

This was Li Xuan’s intuition at heart. He believed this intuition was related to his Golden Finger.

Therefore, if he wants to get larger feedback, he has to take disciples and compile a new cultivation technique.

So, it’s time to leave.

Li Xuan glanced at his disciple, who was meditating on the tips of the Innate

Realm, then he said, “Disciple, pack up your things. It’s time to leave.”

“Master, what’s going on?”

Xu Yan was taken aback.

“As a master, I should also venture out into the world.”

Li Xuan said nonchalantly.

“Master, you’re not going to live in seclusion anymore?”

Xu Yan looked surprised.

“Now that I have accepted a disciple, it’s time to be part of the world again. Besides, where can I not live in seclusion?

“To hide in plain sight!”

Li Xuan said inscrutably.

“Hide in plain sight?”

Xu Yan murmured and suddenly perked up. True to his reputation, his master was a hidden expert!

Where could one not live in seclusion?

To a real master, where could they not seclude themselves?

Even the bustling market place can serve as a place of seclusion, too.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan eagerly nodded and began packing his bags.

He didn’t have much for luggage.

Other than a few pieces of clothing, all he had were the gifts he had offered when he first became a disciple.

Li Xuan toyed with a Jade Ruyi in his hand, finding himself more and more fond of it.

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

Li Xuan sat in the cart, toying with his Jade Ruyi, and looked back at the dense forest and mountains, which were slowly fading away. He was filled with a sense of nostalgia; after his long seclusion, he was finally stepping out of the mountains.

Leaving the small village.

At this moment, the day was approaching twilight.

Xu Yan led the horse – his footsteps were light, and he made no sound when he hit the ground.

His movement technique had made a significant progress.

“Master, the town ahead is Yunshan County. Shall we rest there, or go directly to the prefecture city of Donghe?”

Xu Yan asked.

“Let’s spend some time in Yunshan County for now,”

Li Xuan pondered before answering.

He wanted to observer if there was any suitable disciple candidates in Yunshan County.

Yunshan County was just a small county town with a population of several tens of thousands. In the evening, the townspeople suddenly saw a carriage driven into the county town.

Two young men, one leading the horse, the other sitting in the carriage.

The young man in the carriage was dressed ordinarily, but he toyed with a flawless Jade Ruyi in his hand – its expensive value was obvious at a glance.

A beggar squatting by the roadside stared at the man on the carriage for a long time. His face lit up with excitement and he signaled to a middle-aged man who had a stall nearby.

The stall owner silently nodded, packed up his stall, and disappeared into an alley.

All this had not escaped Li Xuan’s notice.

But he remained unmoved.

The saying “wealth should not be revealed” applied only to the weak.

The martial strength of Qi Country was too low, there was no one who could threaten him.

Even if there were powerful cultivators, they would not covet the Jade Ruyi in his hand.

“Master, we have a shop in the county town and we have bought a courtyard there. Let’s go there now,”

Xu Yan suggested.

“You, my dear disciple, handle the arrangements,”

Li Xuan was indifferent.

These mundane matters, naturally, should be left to his disciple to arrange.

In the heart of the county town, in front of a small courtyard, Xu Yan knocked on the gate. Soon, a servant came out to open the door.

ii

It’s Young Master! Please come in!”

Surprised to see Xu Yan, the servant’s face broke into a smile.

“Make sure everything is tidy, and find yourself another place to stay.”

Xu Yan immediately ordered.

“Yes, yes, Young Master, please go in!”

The servant looked obsequious and was about to take the reins from Xu Yan, but Xu Yan ignored him and led the horse into the yard himself.

“Master, this county town is a humble place, and the living conditions are simple…”

ii

No worries.”

The servant stared at Li Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, obviously confused.

Master?

Had the foolish heir of the wealthiest family been deceived again?
