Devotion to the Great Cause of the Martial Dao

Li Xuan was pondering whether to create two more lines for the Qi and Blood Realm cultivation technique to replace the current four, allowing Xu Yan to infer and comprehend more from them.

"Being able to connect it to the Qi and Blood Realm will make it easier for my disciple to infer and gain enlightenment," he thought.

However, the four lines of the cultivation technique had already been passed on. Should he find another excuse to tell Xu Yan that these four lines weren't suitable for him and he should switch to a different set?

If he did that, wouldn't it make him, the Master of a hidden master, seem like he didn't fully grasp his disciple's talent?

"Perhaps I should wait. When Xu Yan can't infer the Martial Dao True Intent from it and comes to me for guidance, I'll give him a new cultivation technique?"

"But, if I do that, won't it deal a blow to my disciple's conviction?"

Li Xuan sighed inwardly. Teaching this disciple was truly difficult.

Suddenly.

A faint golden light appeared in his mind.

"Your disciple has gained enlightenment from the cultivation technique you created, comprehending the Martial Dao True Intent from it. You have obtained a Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method, and your strength has increased..."

In that instant.

The Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and his own Blood Essence doubled.

"Hiss!"

Li Xuan's eyes widened, and he was incredibly excited. "My silly disciple is truly amazing! He could actually infer the Martial Dao True Intent from that? This Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method, while not entirely unrelated to the technique, is still worlds apart...

"Good heavens, what kind of brain does he have? How did he comprehend and infer this set of Martial Dao True Intent and cultivation method?"

He couldn't help but be impressed.

This disciple was truly monstrous.

This was the second feedback from his golden finger, and his strength had further increased.

However, after the golden finger provided the feedback, it disappeared again, as if it had never existed.

"It seems that the golden finger will only appear after my disciple successfully cultivates the method I made up," Li Xuan mused.

Of course, whether the golden finger had other avenues to be explored remained to be seen.

For now, the most pressing matter was to teach his disciple Xu Yan well, help him continue to increase his strength, and cultivate diligently.

"Disciple, you've managed to gain enlightenment from the cultivation technique within this time frame. That's acceptable. Remain humble and diligent in your cultivation."

Li Xuan walked leisurely towards Xu Yan.

As if he could see through his disciple at a glance, he spoke with a hint of satisfaction.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan exclaimed inwardly, "Master's eyes are like torches! He saw that I had just gained enlightenment from the cultivation method at a glance!"

"Disciple, is your Martial Dao heart firm?" Li Xuan asked sternly.

"Master, my disciple's Martial Dao heart is as firm as a rock!" Xu Yan replied with determined eyes.

"Do you think about women in your heart?"

"My disciple has no women in his heart!"

"Good! Very good! With such a Martial Dao heart, my disciple will surely reach the pinnacle of the Martial Dao in the future!" Li Xuan said joyfully.

Good disciple, you should dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to the great cause of the Martial Dao and not let thoughts of women distract your cultivation. Only the great cause of the Martial Dao is the true path!

I'm counting on you, Master!

Li Xuan was very pleased with his disciple's Martial Dao heart.

Since gaining enlightenment from the Qi and Blood Realm cultivation technique, Xu Yan's strength had been increasing daily. Although he was still a long way from the Great Perfection realm of a hundred zhang of Blood Essence, in just half a month, Xu Yan's Blood Essence had already reached ten zhang!

"Master, I have been away from home for a long time. I wish to return home to visit my parents," one day, Xu Yan thought that he had been away from home for too long and his parents must be worried. He respectfully said.

"Mmm, go ahead!" Li Xuan nodded.

Inwardly, he sighed. He had been a Transmigrator for a long time but had never left the small village. It was probably time for him to leave this desolate place as well.

He wanted to experience the customs and traditions of this world.

He wanted to see the scenery of the Qi Kingdom, experience the martial arts world of Qi, and see if the martial prowess was truly as low as Xu Yan claimed.

Xu Yan, who had just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, could kill a top martial arts master with a single breath. If he himself were at the Great Perfection of the Qi and Blood Realm, wouldn't he be able to kill them with just a glare?

Is the combat power in this world really so pathetically low?

Thinking of the Fire Mane Wolves Xu Yan fought, Li Xuan felt that the combat power in this world shouldn't be this weak.

Perhaps there were some secrets that even someone of Xu Yan's background couldn't access?

After watching Xu Yan leave, Li Xuan returned leisurely, hands clasped behind his back.

The next time Xu Yan returned, he would be leaving this place. Moving house was obviously grunt work that should be left to a disciple.

In Donghe Commandery, the hottest topic on the streets, in tea houses, and inns lately was the matter of the Xu family, the richest in the land, having a shipment of goods hijacked by mountain bandits.

"Where did these mountain bandits come from? They actually dared to rob the Xu family's goods?"

"The Xu family's foolish young master just had his engagement broken off by the Great General. The Xu family's prestige has plummeted, so they were targeted, right?"

"Even though the richest family's foolish young master had his engagement broken off by the General's mansion, the Xu family's backer is the Minister of Personnel in the imperial court."

Influential figures in Donghe Commandery were all discussing the matter in private.

In the Xu family's reception hall, Xu Junhe sat solemnly at the head of the table. Looking at the group below, he spoke, "Where did these mountain bandits come from? This shipment must be delivered as promised, otherwise, we will have to pay triple the compensation!"

"Escort Chen, Martial Hall Master Wang, you two will personally escort this shipment to Jin'an this time. Ensure it is delivered as promised."

Xu Junhe looked at the two burly men below.

"Please rest assured, Master. We will deliver the goods as promised. As for the mountain bandits, we have our own methods to deal with them."

Escort Chen clasped his hands.

Xu Junhe nodded, made the arrangements, and then had them dismissed.

Escort Chen was the chief escort of the largest escort agency in Donghe Commandery, which Xu Junhe secretly controlled. Martial Hall Master Wang was the master of the largest martial arts hall in Donghe Commandery, also secretly controlled by Xu Junhe.

Both Escort Chen and Martial Hall Master Wang were top martial artists who had cultivated Internal Energy.

With these two handling the matter, the shipment should be delivered as promised.

However, thinking of the buyer for this batch of goods, Xu Junhe felt a sense of unease.

He had managed to become the richest man in Donghe Commandery, and had married the daughter of the former Prefect of Donghe Commandery and the current Minister of Personnel. He was clearly no ordinary person.

After this batch of goods was hijacked by mountain bandits, and his plea for help to the Great General of Donghe's mansion was unsuccessful, he immediately realized that he was being targeted.

And this force targeting him came from Jin'an, the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he decisively deployed his two main forces to ensure the goods were delivered, leaving the enemy no excuse to attack.

"I hope it's not what I think it is."

Xu Junhe sighed inwardly.

Returning to the back courtyard, Madam Xu looked worried. "Husband, Yan'er has been away for so long. Will something happen to him?"

"Don't worry, Madam. Yan'er will be fine."

Xu Junhe felt a headache coming on. His foolish son was never one to be trouble-free. He had been gone for three months with no news.

His greatest fear now was that his foolish son would be captured and taken hostage, which would be fatal!

While Xu Junhe worried about his foolish son, Xu Yan was riding his horse along the official road, returning to Donghe Commandery city.

"Xu Junhe's foolish son? Heh, found you!"

A sinister voice suddenly rang out, and two figures blocked Xu Yan's path.
