"Yo, Old Li, you're still studying this sort of thing? Is there an exchange for internal cultivation techniques?"
Judging by how closely Old Li was studying it—especially this version given to him by the Main God—it appeared to be a dual edition, with the original text and an annotated translation.
The original text was less than two pages in total, yet he had painstakingly expanded and translated it into something resembling an entire book.
