Finally Out of the Novice Village

Li Xuan finished explaining the cultivation method for the Innate Realm, one by one.

"Disciple, did you remember it all?"

This was the first time he had put so much thought into creating a cultivation method for the Innate Realm. The theories, framework, and so on were much more complete than those for the basic realms of Skin Tempering, Bone Refining, and Viscera Refining.

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

With such a more detailed cultivation method, Xu Yan should theoretically find it easier to comprehend and cultivate successfully.

"Master, this disciple remembers!"

Xu Yan said respectfully.

"Regarding the Innate Realm method, after your regular cultivation, study it carefully. Do not neglect your Qi and Blood Realm cultivation, nor should you be overly ambitious.

"You must be down-to-earth!"

Li Xuan earnestly cautioned him again.

"Master, this disciple understands. Before my Qi and Blood are perfected, I will absolutely not cultivate the Innate method or attempt to break through."

Xu Yan said solemnly.

"Good!"

Li Xuan nodded and added, "I have also elaborated on the Innate Realm with these four lines. You should memorize them as well."

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan's spirits lifted, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"The Heaven and Earth Bridge opens, shedding the mortal coil; swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy, returning to the innate. True Qi flows vast and endless; controlling energy, one soars into the azure sky."

Li Xuan recited each line.

"The Heaven and Earth Bridge opens, shedding the mortal coil... controlling energy, one soars into the azure sky?"

Xu Yan murmured the lines to himself. He felt a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.

He felt as if the Innate Realm was no longer far away!

"Study it further in your free time. When your Qi and Blood are perfected, you will be able to break through to the Innate Realm."

Li Xuan glanced at his disciple.

He had already imparted the cultivation method for the Innate Realm to his disciple. He couldn't know when Xu Yan would truly comprehend it.

However, he believed that with Xu Yan's comprehension, his incredible ability to fill in the blanks, and his unwavering faith in the Martial Dao he had passed down, He would surely be able to figure it out.

"It's about time I took on another disciple to test things out.

"The disciple must have excellent comprehension and a wild imagination to be able to understand the cultivation techniques I make up.

Li Xuan mused inwardly.

The cultivation method for the Qi and Blood Realm was already complete. If he passed it on to a new disciple, would he still receive feedback?

Would the new disciple be able to cultivate successfully?

But Li Xuan had an intuition that a newly accepted disciple must cultivate a newly created technique to receive greater feedback.

He trusted this intuition.

Therefore, to take on another disciple, he would need to create another set of cultivation techniques.

The realm could be the same, but the techniques had to be different!

"With experience, creating them will be relatively easier. The problem is finding a suitable disciple.

"Ordinary people definitely won't do; their comprehension is poor, and their ability to fill in the blanks is weak.

"They definitely won't be able to cultivate successfully."

Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan, who was engrossed in the Innate Realm cultivation technique. He knew very well that if it weren't for this foolish disciple's excellent comprehension, his superb ability to fill in the blanks, and his firm belief in the Martial Dao he had passed down, he wouldn't have succeeded.

And subsequently activated his golden finger.

Therefore, the requirements for a disciple's talent absolutely could not be low.

"The Qi Kingdom is so vast; I'm sure I can find a second suitable disciple."

Li Xuan was filled with anticipation.

If he couldn't find one in the Qi Kingdom, he could look in the Wu Kingdom.

"I could also scout out one or two suitable individuals. If I don't accept them as disciples, I can take them on as servants, right? I'll teach them the Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method and see how it goes.

"If servants aren't suitable, what about registered disciples?

"I'm a hidden master; how can I casually accept disciples?

"So, servants it is."

Li Xuan had some ideas forming in his mind.

Whether the Martial Dao techniques he had already created could be successfully cultivated by others was still unclear.

Even if one could cultivate successfully, there should be certain requirements for aptitude.

Later cultivators did not receive high feedback.

This was an intuition that arose in Li Xuan's heart. He believed this intuition was related to his golden finger.

Therefore, to gain greater feedback, it was still necessary to take in disciples and create new cultivation techniques.

Thus, it was time to leave.

Li Xuan glanced at his disciple, who was still pondering the methods of the Innate Realm with his head bowed. He spoke, "Disciple, pack your bags. It's time to leave."

"Master, what's wrong?"

Xu Yan was startled.

"Your Master also needs to go out and see the world,"

Li Xuan said calmly.

"Master, aren't you going to live in seclusion anymore?"

Xu Yan looked surprised.

"Now that I have taken a disciple, it's time to enter the world. Besides, where can one not live in seclusion?

"The greatest hermits live in the marketplace!"

Li Xuan said with an unfathomable expression.

"The greatest hermits live in the marketplace?"

Xu Yan murmured, and his spirits immediately lifted. His Master was indeed a hidden master!

Where could one not live in seclusion?

For true masters, where could they not live in seclusion?

The bustling marketplace could also be a place of seclusion.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan nodded excitedly and began to pack his bags.

There wasn't much luggage.

Besides a few clothes, it was essentially the gifts he had received when he became a disciple.

Li Xuan played with a Jade Ruyi in his hand. He was growing fonder of this Jade Ruyi.

A horse pulled a dilapidated wooden cart out of the forest.

Li Xuan sat on the cart, playing with the Jade Ruyi, and looked back at the receding dense forest and deep mountains. He sighed with emotion. After transmigrating to this world, he was finally leaving the great mountains.

He had left his small village.

By now, the sky was growing dark.

Xu Yan led the horse, his steps light and silent.

His Light Swan Movement Technique had improved considerably.

"Master, the Yunshan County Town is ahead. Should we stay in Yunshan County Town or head directly to Donghe Commandery City?"

Xu Yan asked.

"Let's stay in Yunshan County for a while,"

Li Xuan pondered and replied.

He wanted to see if there were any suitable disciples in Yunshan County.

Yunshan County was just a small county town with a population of only tens of thousands. On this particular evening, the townspeople suddenly saw a horse-drawn cart enter the county town.

Two young men, one leading the horse and the other sitting on the cart.

The young man on the cart wore ordinary clothes, but he was playing with a Jade Ruyi in his hand. It was flawless and clearly valuable at first glance.

A beggar squatting by the roadside stared at the person on the cart for a long time, a look of excitement appearing on his face. He exchanged a glance with a middle-aged man setting up a stall nearby.

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

Li Xuan saw all of this.

But he remained unmoved.

"Do not flaunt your wealth" was for the weak.

The Qi Kingdom's military strength was too low; there was no one who could threaten him.

Even if there were powerful cultivators, they would not care about the Jade Ruyi and other items he possessed.

"Master, I have a shop in the county town and a courtyard. Let's go there now,"

Xu Yan said.

"Disciple, you make the arrangements."

Li Xuan didn't care.

These trivial matters were, of course, entirely left to his disciple to arrange.

In the core area of the county town, in front of a small courtyard, Xu Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a moment, a servant opened the door and came out.

"Young Master? Young Master, please come in quickly!"

Upon seeing Xu Yan, the servant's face immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Clean everything up. You all find new places to stay."

Xu Yan spoke directly, giving the order.

"Yes, yes, Young Master, please come in!"

The servant, with a fawning expression, stepped forward as if to take the reins. Xu Yan ignored him and led the horse into the courtyard.

"Master, the county town is a small place, and the residence is simple..."

"It's fine."

The servant looked at Li Xuan, who was sitting in the carriage, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Master?

The rich fool's son, tricked again?
