Li Xuan, after listening to Shi’er’s explanation, dismissively shook his head and chuckled. “A mere couple of thousand miles and that’s considered to be an endless mountain range? Such an ordinary perspective!” he scoffed.

He was unveiling his superior aura.

Upon hearing this, Shi’er’s body shook, his breath becoming slightly ragged.

“Indeed, he is an unparalleled master. In his eyes, we arc nothing but the ordinary. In his view, our endless mountain is not even worth mentioning!” Shi’er exclaimed internally.

He felt a surge of excitement. Perhaps under the master’s guidance, he, too, could transcend the ordinary?

“Master is correct. It is only because we, ordinary people, are weak and unable to cross it, that we call it an endless mountain range,” Shi’er admitted shamefully.

Li Xuan stayed indifferent.

Suddenly, a golden light emerged.

“Your disciple has shocked the capital of Qi Country, shattered the worldviews of many officials. Your aura of mystery has grown stronger.”

The mysterious aura instantly doubled in intensity.

In that moment, Shi’er became even more sober, bowed even lower, and his reverence and zeal became more pronounced.

A superior man indeed!

In that instant, the man seated on the chair gave him an impression of being a hidden superior man, mysterious, majestic, and profound, existing beyond the ordinary world.

Li Xuan was ecstatic. His mysterious aura could be enhanced even further?

At this moment, he could sense that by utilizing his mysterious aura, he seemed even more inscrutable and possessed an aura of an unparalleled master.

His mood instantly brightened.

His disciple, Xu Yan, had indeed gone to the capital of Qi Country to show off his abilities.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Shi’er.

“I take my leave!” Shi’er bowed and left.

“Meng Chong!” Li Xuan called out.

“Master, what are your orders?” The bald youth, Meng Chong, hurried over.

Li Xuan picked up a Nine-Leaf Spirit Plant and said, “Cut off a piece and use it to make chicken soup!”

He hadn’t had Nine-Leaf Spirit Plant chicken soup in a while and was craving it now.

“Yes, Master!” Meng Chong replied, talcing the Nine-Leaf Spirit Plant and headed off to cook.

Having disciples around to serve you made life leisurely and pleasant indeed.

Li Xuan lay back in his chair, squinted, and began contemplating… what cultivation technique should he pass on to Meng Chong?

“Cultivating the skin, bones, organs, and bloodstream…those were the cultivation techniques I devised for Xu Yan to practice. They obviously won’t work for Meng Chong. Only a new cultivation technique will bring significant gains.”

“The basics of martial arts, cultivation of the skin, bones, and organs, are inevitable, but the methods of cultivation can differ.”

“When Xu Yan was cultivating, he only knew some crude martial arts from the Jianghu, a third-rate level? Meng Chong has an exceptional physique, a natural strength unlike ordinary people, so even though he is just a first-rate Jianghu expert, he can confront top Jianghu experts…”

“Given that Meng Chong’s talent resides in his physical strength, let’s start from there.”

Li Xuan decided to play off Meng Chong’s strengths, devising a new cultivation technique to test if Meng Chong could successfully cultivate it.

If he can, when accepting disciples in the future, he would have a direction.

He also had a clear sense of how to devise new cultivation techniques.

“Master, dinner is ready!”

Meng Chong had finished cooking.

“Good!”

Li Xuan nodded.

Meng Chong’s cooking skills were surprisingly good, perhaps because he had left his home at a young age to practice martial arts, and had been cooking to serve others.

But compared to Xu Yan, it still falls short.

“My apprentice, you need to improve your cooking skills. When your elder martial brother returns, you can learn from him.”

Li Xuan spoke.

“Yes, Master!”

Meng Chong touched his bald head, appearing somewhat ashamed.

“Tomorrow, I will teach you the methods of Martial Arts. Rest and settle down for today.”

After the meal, Li Xuan left a message and then retired to his room to compile a Cultivation Technique.

Meng Chong was full of anticipation. What kind of Martial Arts methods would his venerable master be passing down to him?

In the room, Li Xuan sat with a pen, writing drafts of a Cultivation Technique on paper.

“I need to make a distinction now. Xu Yan is cultivating the pure path of Martial Arts, while Meng Chong is training in a side path of Martial Arts that emphasizes physical body cultivation.”

“This can also be referred to as Physical Martial Arts.”

“However, Physical Martial Arts does not abandon the core of Martial Arts. It just emphasizes the cultivation of the physical body. All of one’s strength is reflected in a robust physique.”

“Thus, what I am going to teach Meng Chong is an attempt to create a new branch within Martial Arts: Physical Martial Arts!”

Meng Chong was naturally bald with muscles bulging and a burly figure.

His talents are clearly manifested in his physique.

Therefore, an idea flashed across Li Xuan’s mind, and he decided to try to open up a new branch within Martial Arts.

A branch of Martial Arts that emphasizes physical body cultivation.

If it succeeds, there will be a reference direction for accepting disciples in the future.

“The foundation of Martial Arts lies in skin refinement, bone refinement, and organ refinement. Orthodox Martial Arts begins with skin refinement, while Physical Martial Arts incorporates all three at the same time;

“Orthodox Martial Arts can refine jade bones, whereas Physical Martial Arts refines Vajra-Lucent bones, which is on par with jade bones yet unique in its own way.

“So, the initial cultivation method for Physical Martial Arts begins with a Golden Bell Shield?”

Li Xuan fell into deep thought, now a martial artist with his qi and blood at full capacity.

Having mastered the methods of Martial Arts for the qi and blood stage, he had a reference point to compile the foundations and cultivation technique for the qi and blood stage, which is an improvement compared to when he had no clue and was completely guessing in the beginning.

However, choosing the initial cultivation method for the physical path is crucial.

“Iron Cloth Shirt? Or Golden Bell Shield? Full-body impenetrable through Qi and blood…

“Let’s call it Great Sun Golden Bell Shield. This corresponds to Qi and Blood Stage cultivation.

“The Great Sun Golden Bell Shield I’m creating doesn’t have a so-called Shield Gate. To break this defense, one must surpass the Golden Bell’s defense with sheer power. There’s no finding any chink to exploit.

“This is the Immaculate Golden Bell.”

Li Xuan mulled it over for a while, finally deciding on Great Sun Golden Bell Shield as the initial stage of cultivation.

Next, the cultivation method for the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield needed to be compiled… this was rather a headache. Cultivating skin, bones, and organs simultaneously was challenging…

“This isn’t orthodox Martial Arts and emphasizes unique talents, so it’s normal for it to be more difficult. For those with such talents, the difficulty won’t be too great.

“Alright, I have made up my mind. First, sensing Qi and blood is a must. Then, Qi and blood flow between the organs, move through the bones, replenish the skin… forming a cycle.

“Stimulating the organs, erupting Qi and blood, penetrating bones, impacting skin…cultivate from the inside out, or from the outside in, practicing all three as one, refining the Golden Bell physique…

“Upon successful cultivation of the basic stage in Physical Martial Arts and the Golden Bell reverberating, Qi and blood transform into an Immaculate Golden Bell, enveloping the entire body…this signifies entry into the Qi and Blood stage of Physical Martial Arts.”

Li Xuan, with his methods for the Qi and Blood stage as a reference, managed to compile the cultivation method for the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield smoothly.

Naturally, this technique was rather crude and not very detailed; even with the Qi and Blood Cultivation Technique as a reference, it couldn’t be too detailed.

In the end, it depended on Meng Chong drawing specific, practical techniques from this method.

Therefore, when passing on the technique to Meng Chong, Li Xuan would still caution him to focus on comprehension and intention, rather than obsess over the superficial level of the technique.

The form doesn’t matter; comprehension and intention are the keys.

“Given Meng Chong’s way of thinking, his comprehension should be excellent; he should be able to understand and cultivate it successfully, right?”

Li Xuan still had confidence in Meng Chong.

In Meng Chong’s view, his master was an unrivaled expert. He would take whatever techniques his master imparted to him very seriously, certainly squeezing his brain to the utmost to understand them..
