Before Xu Yan had successfully cultivated, Li Xuan, with the intention of duping someone, blindly concocted the technique without any psychological pressure, making it as mystifying as possible.
He didn't need to consider whether it could be cultivated.
After all, how could something fabricated be successfully cultivated?
However, Xu Yan, that monstrous talent, successfully cultivated the made-up technique and even triggered his Golden Finger, allowing Li Xuan to achieve great advancement in the technique, with a hundredfold the strength of his peers at the same realm.
From then on, creating cultivation techniques wasn't something he could just make up without care.
After all, it was related to whether cultivation could be successful, and also to whether he could continue to receive feedback from the Golden Finger to enhance himself.
With psychological pressure came numerous ideas.
While creating the technique, he had to consider whether the theory was reliable.
Whether there were any loopholes.
If it wasn't mystifying enough, he worried the strength wouldn't be powerful.
If it was too mystifying, he feared Xu Yan wouldn't be able to comprehend it and continue cultivating.
In short, when he began to create the next realm's cultivation methods, Li Xuan realized he had thought things were too simple.
With this pressure, he became excessively cautious, fretting over gains and losses!
"Damn! I might as well just make something up and let the disciple deal with the headache and intuit it.
"No, that won't do. What if he can't figure it out? Wouldn't I be the one at a loss?
"What on earth is going on with this damn Golden Finger?"
Li Xuan showed an expression of distress.
The Golden Finger had been triggered, but after infusing him with cultivation, it disappeared as if it never existed.
"Because Xu Yan successfully cultivated the technique I concocted, the Golden Finger was triggered. So, to receive feedback, I still have to rely on Xu Yan. This kid is too demonic, his comprehension is ridiculously strong.
"So, when I create cultivation techniques, I have to make sure the realms connect properly and leave the specific cultivation methods for Xu Yan to figure out.
"All I need to create is a set of theories, as well as cultivation sayings that sound mystical."
Li Xuan took a deep breath, sorted out the direction for creating the cultivation technique, and then set about constructing this illusory theory.
Create cultivation sayings that sounded mystifying.
Everything else would be left to Xu Yan to intuit.
Since he had been able to derive from Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, and Viscera Refinement on his own, why couldn't he do the same with the following cultivation stages?
"The Bone Refinement saying I created goes—'Clear the heart, observe oneself, nurture the true intent; Qi-Blood like a dragon, form a golden body.' Then, for the Qi-Blood Realm, I should also create some sayings for Xu Yan to ponder, which could speed up his cultivation."
Li Xuan recalled the sayings he initially concocted, from which Xu Yan had found the method to temper golden bones and even managed to refine jade bones.
Therefore, cultivation sayings were crucial; they needed to be sufficiently mystical yet not too vague.
Leave it to Xu Yan to intuit on his own.
"The next realm after the Qi-Blood Realm will be the Innate Realm. There's no rush to create it now; just focus on coming up with the sayings for the Qi-Blood Realm."
Although he hadn't created any cultivation sayings, the direction of cultivation had been determined, and it was still possible to achieve great success in the Qi-Blood Realm.
However, if he did come up with cultivation sayings and Xu Yan intuited something from them, his cultivation speed would greatly increase, and his strength would grow even stronger.
As Xu Yan's strength increased, so would his, the master's, strength.
He was now at the great achievement of the Qi-Blood Realm, and his strength was a hundred times that of others in the same realm—a standard benchmarked by his disciple, Xu Yan.
His current strength was a hundred times that of Xu Yan's when he reached the great achievement of the Qi-Blood Realm.
Should Xu Yan, through his own comprehension of the cultivation sayings, gain strength much greater than with the current cultivation methods,
Xu Yan's strength at great achievement would be stronger, and naturally, Li Xuan's strength would also grow.
Thus, it was essential to create the cultivation sayings.
Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement, and the introductory cultivation methods for Martial Arts had all been mastered by Li Xuan when the Golden Finger feedback was infused.
This formed a complete introductory system for Martial Arts cultivation.
Since it was Xu Yan's cultivation experience and intuitions that had established a genuinely cultivable foundation for the technique, Li Xuan had a general direction for creating the Qi-Blood Realm cultivation sayings to be intuited by Xu Yan.
The fundamental reason for creating the Qi-Blood Realm cultivation sayings was to allow Xu Yan to intuit from them a stronger, more efficient method for Qi-Blood Realm cultivation.
Enhancing the strength of the Qi-Blood Realm.
"The Qi-Blood Realm lies in strengthening the Qi and blood, enlarging the physical body, so the essence of cultivation is to improve the quality and quantity of Qi and blood, to raise the limits of one's physical capabilities…
"Since it involves the cultivation of Qi and blood, then this should serve as an appropriate technique, right?"
After some contemplation, Li Xuan created four lines of the cultivation technique.
"Four lines it is, then. Let it be so. I'll leave it to the silly disciple to agonize and ponder over. Even if he cannot fathom anything, it won't hinder him from continuing his cultivation...
"The great achievement in the Qi-Blood Realm is just a matter of time. What's crucial is that the silly disciple continues his monstrous progress and cultivates the haphazardly invented Innate Realm."
Li Xuan exhaled and, with hands clasped behind his back, assumed the air of a stern teacher. He stepped leisurely out of the house.
Xu Yan was practicing to solidify his realm.
"Disciple, come here. Your mentor will impart to you the Qi-Blood Realm cultivation technique."
Li Xuan beckoned.
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan excitedly ran over.
The Qi-Blood Realm cultivation technique!
"Listen well, the Qi-Blood Realm cultivation technique comprises four lines. If you can grasp the true meaning within, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. It won't take long for you to achieve great success in the Qi-Blood Realm."
Li Xuan's tone became more stern.
"Yes, Master. Your disciple will surely comprehend the technique and will not disappoint you!"
Xu Yan promised, patting his chest.
"Your confidence pleases me greatly as your teacher. Just do your best, for even if you cannot fathom the true meaning of the technique, it won't impede your cultivation."
Li Xuan's tone lightened.
One must not push the disciple too hard; too much mental pressure might backfire, making it even harder to comprehend the technique.
"The disciple understands!"
Xu Yan nodded.
"Hmm!"
Li Xuan nodded and slowly said, "Now listen carefully, the four lines of the Qi-Blood Realm's cultivation technique: 'A thousand streams and myriad rivers become a great river, ten thousand li of rushing current enters the ocean vast; towering waves create a thousand layers of surges, Qi and blood can shake ten thousand mountains!'"
When Xu Yan heard the last line of the technique, he couldn't help but murmur, "Qi and blood can shake ten thousand mountains?"
He felt the grandeur of that line, its imposing strength.
Li Xuan gave a dry cough and said, "Disciple, remember, the methods I impart prioritize enlightenment and meaning, not form and certainly not appearance!"
Repeating the old sayings, he continued to remind Xu Yan.
"Yes, Master. Your disciple understands!"
Xu Yan respectfully replied.
At that moment, his mind was filled with those four lines of the cultivation technique.
"Hmm, go and solidify your cultivation."
Li Xuan nodded.
He sighed with relief in his heart. Finally, he had passed on the technique to Xu Yan. Whether he would succeed depended on him now.
If he couldn't comprehend it, it wasn't the fault of him as a teacher.
Next, he would need to invest some thought in the Innate Realm.
How to devise it in a way that is a bit more mysterious, yet theoretically connects with the Qi-Blood Realm, avoiding situations where there is no way to proceed or even to start.
"Yes, Master!"
After bowing respectfully to Li Xuan, Xu Yan returned to his place of cultivation.
He began to reflect on the four lines of the technique, thinking to himself, "Worthy indeed of a technique transmitted by Master, it sounds like poetry, profound and extraordinary, containing infinite marvels of martial arts.
"I must comprehend it, and not let Master down!"
