Today, Master Will Show You a Skill (Seeking Reads)

Li Xuan sat in his chair, appearing relaxed and at ease, but his mind was troubled.

After so much time, Xu Yan still hadn't managed to cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm. Was the technique he'd created too vague, making it difficult to grasp?

"No rush. Seeing progress means there's still hope."

Li Xuan comforted himself internally.

"Even if he can't master the Dragon Subduing Palm, as long as his cultivation continues to improve, as long as he can cultivate the Innate Realm, that's fine. At worst, I can just say he doesn't have a talent for the Dragon Subduing Palm."

"Teach him swordsmanship then?

"That should be easier to cultivate, right? Xu Yan should have more talent in swordsmanship?"

Li Xuan pondered how he would create a swordsmanship technique if he were to teach Xu Yan.

Xu Yan always wore a sword with him, which showed his interest in swordsmanship. This indicated he likely had strong talent in the way of the sword.

How to teach him swordsmanship was the problem.

After all, Li Xuan didn't know any sword moves or techniques; he could only flail about.

The real issue was how to create a set of swordsmanship theories that Xu Yan could comprehend.

"I'll wait a bit longer. Maybe inspiration will strike, and he'll manage to cultivate the Dragon Subduing Palm."

Li Xuan focused his mind, trying to probe that ball of golden light, but again found nothing.

"What's going on with this golden finger? Can it only appear passively?"

He shifted his body, settling into a more comfortable position.

Originally, he had planned to move after Xu Yan returned this time.

But now, since he had to teach Xu Yan martial skills, he would have to continue living in the small village.

"Your disciple cultivates the introductory level of the Dragon Subduing Palm you created, and your Dragon Subduing Palm reaches great completion, with power ten times that of peers in the same realm."

Suddenly, the golden light appeared.

Boom!

In Li Xuan's mind, the True Intent of the Dragon Subduing Palm materialized, instantly elevating him to the great completion realm, with power ten times that of peers in the same realm.

In an instant, his eyes seemed to see the vision of eighteen hundred-foot-long dragons roaring and coiling!

"Holy crap!

"My disciple is awesome! He actually managed to cultivate it!"

Li Xuan was ecstatic.

He leaped up from his chair and left the small village immediately.

He arrived at the hillside where Xu Yan was practicing. From a distance, he saw two seven to eight-zhang-long crimson dragons coiling and dancing, incredibly agile. When they struck the ground, they left huge pits.

He felt a pang of eagerness.

"Disciple, well done. Your Dragon Subduing Palm has barely reached the introductory stage."

Li Xuan walked leisurely, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

"Master!"

Xu Yan stopped his practice and bowed respectfully. "It is all thanks to Master's excellent guidance."

Li Xuan looked at the ground, which was covered in numerous large and small pits. The surrounding vegetation had been destroyed and was gone.

"Your Dragon Subduing Palm, while having form, lacks vitality.

"Since you've managed to cultivate it, I no longer need to worry about it affecting your progress with the Dragon Subduing Palm. Today, I'll show you something. Watch closely how the Dragon Subduing Palm at great completion looks in the Qi and Blood Realm."

Li Xuan emphasized that this was the Dragon Subduing Palm in the Qi and Blood Realm, not his true strength.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan was extremely excited.

Master is going to demonstrate the Dragon Subduing Palm at the Qi and Blood Realm. I hope I can gain some insights from it.

"Watch carefully!"

Li Xuan raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

Roar!

A dragon's roar echoed as a golden hundred-zhang-long dragon burst forth. It raised its head and let out a dragon's cry, as if it were alive.

Boom!

The golden dragon flew out. Its claw tore through a large tree.

Its tail swept across the ground, cleaving a gully.

Boom!

The golden dragon finally slammed heavily into the ground, creating a large pit!

Li Xuan's expression remained calm, as if it were just a casual, insignificant move.

He was actually thrilled internally.

This palm strike, he had unleashed with his full power.

The Dragon Subduing Palm at the Great Accomplishment stage had already gained a semblance of "life" in its form. Combined with his power, which was ten times that of others in the same realm, this strike displayed an immensely yang and yang, fierce and peerless momentum.

Even if Xu Yan had cultivated it to Great Accomplishment, his power would be far from this.

This was the power of a Master!

After all, Li Xuan's Dragon Subduing Palm was ten times that of others in the same realm.

Xu Yan's eyes widened, filled with shock.

"This is the Dragon Subduing Palm performed by someone in the Qi and Blood Realm? It's too terrifying. With such power, one person could fight ten thousand troops with ease.

"Master's casual palm strike alone possesses such might.

"Moreover, Master's Dragon Subduing Palm can actually roar, like a living dragon.

"I am still far too weak!"

Xu Yan was profoundly shaken.

He realized his own shortcomings.

His Dragon Subduing Palm lacked vitality.

Compared to his Master's, it still appeared rigid!

"Dragons possess supernatural abilities and change with the situation. So this is what the incantation should be like. This is just a dragon in the Qi and Blood Realm; if the realm is higher, will the dragon summoned truly possess supernatural abilities?"

The deeper he thought and imagined, the more Xu Yan felt the power and mystery of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

As for himself, his comprehension of the Dragon Subduing Palm incantation was still superficial.

Seeing his disciple's shocked expression, Li Xuan felt pleased. He walked away with his hands behind his back, his steps leisurely.

"Disciple, do not be influenced by my palm strike. You must comprehend your own Dragon Subduing Palm intent."

"Yes, Master, your disciple understands!"

Xu Yan bowed respectfully.

"Good. Since you have grasped the basics of the Dragon Subduing Palm, try to gain more insight into Bagua as well."

Li Xuan nodded.

Now that the Dragon Subduing Palm was successfully cultivated, he wanted Xu Yan to delve deeper into Bagua. If he could gain some insights there, he would receive powerful feedback again.

He had set a high and profound definition for Bagua.

It wasn't just something that could be cultivated in the Qi and Blood Realm; one could continue to comprehend and cultivate it indefinitely.

Different insights could be gained at each stage.

Of course, all of this depended on whether Xu Yan could achieve it.

"Yes, Master!"

The weather gradually turned cold. In the late autumn season, the chill was deepening.

However, for Li Xuan, this winter would be comfortable. Even with thin clothing, he wouldn't feel cold.

In the following days, Xu Yan spent more time on Bagua.

He moved nimbly on the Bagua diagram, and his movement technique had become much more agile, with a significant increase in speed. However, he still hadn't comprehended a complete movement technique.

Li Xuan watched Xu Yan, who was stepping on the Bagua diagram with agile movements and greatly increased speed, and fell into deep thought.

"There's no incantation, so he can't comprehend it?"

"The Bagua I explained contains too much; it's not just about movement techniques.

"Without providing an incantation for movement techniques, he couldn't comprehend one?"

Thinking this, Li Xuan couldn't help but ponder.

"Let me try to create a couple of lines for an incantation."

Li Xuan recalled that his disciple's breakthrough from the Copper Bone bottleneck to forging Golden Bones was related to the Bone Refining Realm cultivation technique he had randomly made up back then.

And the successful cultivation of the Dragon Subduing Palm was because he had created an incantation for it.

Xu Yan had also comprehended the Dragon Subduing Palm and cultivated it successfully through the incantation.

Therefore, having only a theoretical framework might not always lead to successful cultivation. If it were accompanied by a cultivation technique or incantation, the probability of success would greatly increase.

"How should I create an incantation for movement techniques?"

Li Xuan fell into thought.

A gust of wind blew, and a few yellowed leaves on a distant tree branch fluttered down.

A flash of inspiration struck Li Xuan: "Got it!"
