Chapter 30: Fully Devote to the Great Cause of Martial Arts !

Li Xuan was contemplating whether or not to make up a couple more blood and qi cultivation techniques to replace the four he had already made up, allowing Xu Yan to brainstorm and glean insights from them.
“If it can be connected with the stage of blood and qi, then it allows the disciple to brainstorm more effectively and facilitates his understanding.”
However, the four cultivation techniques had already been passed on. Does he now need to find an excuse to tell Xu Yan that these four techniques are not suitable for him and therefore need to be replaced?
If so, wouldn’t this make him, the secluded master, appear insufficient in his grasp of the disciple’s talents?
“Maybe 1 should wait. If Xu Yan fails to come up with something with his own brainstorming, fails to understand the underlying martial arts principles, and comes to me for advice, should I then give him new cultivation techniques?
“But if I do so, won’t this shake his belief?”
Li Xuan sighed inwardly, teaching this disciple was truly an uphill battle.
Suddenly.
A faint golden light emerged in his mind.
“Your disciple has understood the techniques you have made up, and from them, he has gleaned the principles of martial arts. You have received a means of cultivation for the stage of blood and qi, and your strength has increased …”
In that moment
In Li Xuan’s mind, a method of cultivation for the stage of blood and qi appeared, and his own blood and qi also doubled at that moment.
“Hiss!”
Li Xuan’s eyes widened, his heart pulsating with excitement, “What a stupid yet impressive disciple, how did he even manage to understand the real principle of martial arts from such brainstorming? This cultivation method of blood and qi stage is not completely irrelevant to the cultivation technique but is also miles away…
“How in the world did he manage to contemplate and brainstorm such accurate martial arts principles and cultivation method with that brain of his?”
He had to give credit where it was due.
This disciple was too monster-like.
This was the second time the Golden Finger had given feedback, further enhancing his strength.
However, after the Golden Finger had given feedback, it disappeared again, as if it had never existed.
“It seems that the Golden Finger only appears when my disciple successfully practices the cultivation techniques I’ve made up.”
Li Xuan thought to himself.
Of course, whether the Golden Finger has other potentials to be discovered, still needs exploration.
Right now, teaching Xu Yan, his disciple well, to continue strengthening his abilities and diligently cultivating was the top priority.
“Disciple, you have managed to comprehend the cultivation technique within this time frame, which is rather commendable. But you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity; focus on your practice.”
Li Xuan, with his calm strides, stepped towards Xu Yan.
As if he had seen through his disciple’s thoughts with just a glance, he spoke with a slight hint of contentment.
“Yes, Master!”
Xu Yan marveled internally, “Master’s vision is truly keen. He knew I had understood the cultivation technique as soon as it happened!”
“Disciple, is your determination in martial arts steady?”
Li Xuan asked gravely.
“Master, my determination in martial arts is as solid as a rock!”
Xu Yan replied with a resolute gaze.
“Do you think of women in your heart?”
“There are no women in my heart!”
“Good! Very good! With such a determination in martial arts, my disciple will surely be able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts one day!”
Li Xuan exclaimed joyfully.
A good disciple should devote his all into the grand task of martial arts, and not be distracted by thoughts of women and hinder his practice. Only the pursuit of martial arts is the right path!
I’m counting on you!
Li Xuan was very pleased with his disciple’s martial arts determination.
Since comprehending the cultivation technique of the blood and qi stage, Xu Yan’s strength had been gradually increasing every day. Although he was still far from the great achievement of the blood and qi stage, he had made significant progress.
In the short span of half a month, Xu Yan’s blood and qi had already reached a length of ten meters!
“Master, 1 have been away from home for a long time, and 1 wish to go home and visit my parents.”
One day, Xu Yan thought that he had been away from home for too long, his parents must be worried. So, he respectfully spoke up.
“Mmm, go then.”
Li Xuan nodded appropriately.
However, he was inwardly lamenting. Having lived in this world for a considerable time without leaving this tiny village, he felt it was high time to leave this isolated place.
To observe, to learn about the customs and mores of this world.
To see the scenery of Qi Country and get a taste of the world of martial arts in Qi Country, while also establishing whether it was as Xu Yan had described, the low level of martial strength.
As someone who had reached the entry level of blood energy, Xu Yan could kill a top martial artist with a single breath. As for himself, who had reached the peak of blood energy, could he not kill someone with a mere glance?
Is the martial strength of this world really disturbingly weak?
Li Xuan remembered the Fire Mane Wolf that Xu Yan had fought. Looking at it, the martial strength of this world shouldn’t be so low.
Perhaps there were hidden aspects that Xu Yan, with his background, wasn’t privy to?
After watching Xu Yan depart, Li Xuan returned leisurely, hands behind his back.
Next time Xu Yan’s back, he should leave this place. Obviously moving, such a cumbersome task, should be left to his disciple to handle.
In the Eastern River Prefecture City, the popular topic at tea houses and guesthouses these days was the Xu Family, the richest family, having a batch of goods stolen by bandits.
“From where did these bandits come? They even dared to rob the Xu Family’s goods?”
“The foolish young master of the Xu family has just been rejected in marriage by the Grand General, the Xu Family’s prestige plummeted, so they were targeted.”
“Although the young master of the richest family has been rejected by the General’s mansion, the backing behind the Xu Family is the current Ministry of Personnel’s servant.”
Well-known figures in the Eastern River Prefecture City were all discussing the matter in private.
In the Xu Family’s reception hall, Xu Junhe sat at the top with a serious expression, looked at the group of people below, and said, “Where did these bandits come from? These goods must be delivered as agreed, otherwise we will have to bear triple compensation!”
“Chief Chen, Master Wang, the two of you must personally ensure the safe delivery of these goods to Jin’an.”
Xu Junhe looked at the two burly men below.
“Master, please be assured, we will definitely deliver the goods as agreed. As for the bandits, we have our plan.”
Chief Chen assured him with his hand on his chest.
Xu Junhe nodded, gave his instructions, and let everyone exit.
Chief Chen and Master Wang, one was the head of the largest escort agency in Eastern River Prefecture, controlled by Xu Junhe from behind the scenes; the other was the master of the largest martial arts academy in Eastern River Prefecture, also manipulated by Xu Junhe from behind the scenes.
Whether it was Chief Chen or Master Wang, both were top martial artists who had cultivated their inner strength.
The two of them should be able to deliver this batch of goods as agreed upon.
However, thinking about the buyer of this batch of goods, Xu Junhe had some concerns in his heart.
Becoming the richest man in the Eastern River Prefecture, married to the daughter of the former Eastern River Prefecture guard and current Ministry of Personnel’s servant, he couldn’t be an ordinary person.
This batch of goods was robbed by bandits, and his attempt to seek assistance from the Grand General of Eastern River was unsuccessful. He immediately realized he was being targeted.
And this force targeting him came from Jin’an, the capital of Qi Country!
Recognizing the severe situation, he decisively mobilized his two most powerful subordinates to ensure that the goods would be delivered, and not to give the enemy any reason to attack.
“I hope it’s not as I expect.”
Xu Junhe sighed inwardly.
Back in the backyard, Madam Xu fretfully said: “My husband, Yan’er has been away from home for a long time. Is it possible something has happened to him?”
“Don’t worry, madam. Nothing will happen to Yan’er.”
Xu Junhe was somewhat perturbed. His silly son was really untroubled, having disappeared without a word for three months.
What he was most worried about now was that his foolish son might be caught and held hostage, which would be absolutely devastating!
While Xu Junhe was worrying about his foolish son, Xu Yan, riding a horse on the official road, was on his way back to Eastern River Prefecture City.
“The foolish son of Xu Junhe’s family? Heh, I’ve found you!”
A sinister voice suddenly rang out, and two figures blocked Xu Yan’s horse.
