I had to reread this chapter cause its been months, so it was about hand to hand fighting. But magic martial arts makes your fists harder and this is a xianxia where skin refining can make you impervious to normal weapon. The same fist technique would be the same with the sword, that is how it always has been. It is why people use the sword (its versatile) compared to other superior weapons like the spear or a hammer.
It should be said that in the simulation, he may have learned swordsmanship but hardly used it. He had no chance to showcase it, always laying low while practicing bitterly.

It won't last long compared to just normal staring. It disorientates you and is more of a gamble for a short time than staring at it.
It was human reflexes to blink every once in a while, but when you were focusing on something intently, it would be easier to not blink.

there are minor details and there is bloat.
Eustace is an orphan adopted by Whithope Family. It is a family working for Heinz. He is supposedly 14 years old this year but was killed by one of Heinz's experiments. No one knows him aside from the Patriarch of the Whithope and Heinz himself.

That was merely a cop out, he could have learned about it much earlier. And the poison immunity has "benefits" with a big family wanting him. I read the next dozen chapters and he could still benefit from the situation as person immune to poison (they won't kill him)
Lin Yan remained silent.

Now you are grasping at straws. He is an outcast but he is no exile. He is still part of the family and any trouble he brings in gets brought to the family like a mother and father taking blame for the trouble their child brings
The idea of getting beaten up by the battlemaid of an unfavored descendant of a great wizard family was intolerable for him. Such an event could not only tarnish his reputation but also cast his family in a negative light. He had to avoid it at all cost.

You could have not touched the gifts and teach the boy and if he doesn't master it due to aptitude then you can have him travel with you to town. Just like what the earlier comment said. Mc doesn't know if Xu Yan has a background that could touch him even in the other country. The character is only as wise and smart as their author. If Xu Yan insists he gets it then the wise mc who is not stupidly greedy could say he will only accept them if he masters the martial art and Xu Yan should keep it if he can't since he won't be his true disciple and he would be offending him, mc, by insisting he gets the gifts. I know this is a comedy most likely with the protagonist always being right like the other novels. However, it just sounds so stupid.
From the moment he accepted the gift and taught Xu Yan the made-up cultivation technique, Li Xuan knew there was no way back. He had to see this through to the end.

Was he hit in the head when he was a child? since he said one year obviously he could use that as the benchmark for a genius after all he is a "reclusive master". Did he forget that setting it too high also raises suspicion? Oh well the author will bail his fellow author/self-insert out of this predicament.
Thinking this, Li Xuan said: "In ancient times, a genius would complete the skin refinement in five days, the bone refinement in ten days, organ refinement in fifteen days, then move on to the 'thunderous bones' stage and Qi and blood like the Gan, successfully getting started."

How you ever considered
"Look at this place, surrounded by precipitous cliffs, with enchanting scenery. It's clearly a recluse's hiding spot. If you aren't a hidden expert, why would you live here alone?"

true a lot of mcs these days cry about it more unlike the past where the others at least tried and cried. They need their system so much these days

"Then, I will gladly accept it," Anna believed she didn't deserve such a handsome reward. She was just his battlemaid. Helping him and serving him was a part of her duty, meaning she shouldn't get paid for it. However, this was the first time her master had given her a gift. She didn't have it in her to refuse it no matter how unfair she thought it was. Thus, she gladly accepted it with a smile.

I disagree
Not to mention, he didn't want to return home as a deranged bastard with no semblance of humanity. Only a deranged bastard would abandon a person who had been nothing but good to him just to save his own life. How could he do that?

I don't think reading thousands if chapters would make him remember this unless the thousands meant he reread it tons of times
Valerius accepted her compliment with a smile but didn't let it get to his head. Having read thousands of chapters of the novel, he had a firm grasp of the ins and outs of nearly all the main professions. Creating the upgraded version of the tincture of drowsiness, which was called the potion of drowsiness, if he couldn't get even that right, wouldn't his IQ be less than a pig's?

....his memory must be very very good or he reread that novel every day.

the swear word is kinda weird. It feels like that word should be used if they were offended.
"Un-fucking-believable," she muttered in awe, looking at Valerius in a new light.

not really. Some obvious stuff becomes known cause someone pointed it out. Even when they point it out there will be centuries of people wanting to disprove it (there was a math formula or I think it was an axiom that was written with three other axiom but future mathematicians just wanted to keep disproving it)
"The key is in the timing?" Anna said as she squinted her eyes and drew her brows together.

tsk 2 fast passes for a chapter
this feels similar to smut novels (horseshoe theory). It gets a bit too much attention in the story.
After all, sleeping with one man, even if he was a rude bastard, was better than being ridden by a thousand.

were those mcs assassins then
Unknown to all, shapeshifting mind flayers had infiltrated the wizard communities of Serphendale. These creatures originated from an organization called the Abyss and their task was to infiltrate wizard communities and assassinate talented individuals before they could realize their potential and become troublesome to deal with.

big problem though. I think this is the novel where the fake masters turn out to be genuine hidden big shots
As the sun was about to rise, Xu Yan immersed in sensing his vital energy suddenly felt a warm current emerging from his chest and abdomen, delicate and warm, seemingly flowing with his breath.
I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
