Bab 1: Chapter 1 I Didn't Want to Take a Disciple, But He Offered Too Much

"Senior, this is my apprenticeship gift!"

The youth placed three purple sandalwood boxes respectfully in front of Li Xuan.

"You've misunderstood; I'm not some reclusive master, and I don't take disciples. Take them back,"

Li Xuan said, with an evident headache.

The youth's name was Xu Yan, a rich scion from Prefecture City. His family background made Li Xuan, the transmigrator to this world, quite envious. However, the other party was a bit dim-witted, mistaking him for a hidden expert and was insistent on taking him as a master.

Having transmigrated to this world, it had been over ten years. There was no system, no cheat, and he couldn't even leave a small mountain village. Worse still, now in the village, he was the only person left.

The small mountain village was surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, with only a narrow path about a yard wide leading in and out. It was an excellent place for secluded living; its ancestors had moved here to escape the chaos of war.

Nowadays, with no wars outside, the younger generation in the village was not content to lead a mundane life here and began to leave the village to venture out.

The village was a hundred li away from the nearest town, with a dangerous journey, especially the need to pass through a dense forest where ferocious tigers and beasts often roamed.

Over the years, the population of the village gradually dwindled until, by the time Li Xuan transmigrated there, only a dozen or so families lived in the village, most of whom were elderly people left behind.

Including Li Xuan, there were only five young and able-bodied men in the village, all of whom were unwilling to stay and yearned to leave for the city to make a living—Li Xuan felt the same way.

However, the road was dangerous, especially the thirty li of the Malevolent Spirit Forest that one had to pass through, inhabited by ferocious tigers and beasts. Several strong young men from the village had died there.

One day, ten years ago, a villager who had once ventured out returned. He wanted to take his mother to live in the city and claimed to have learned the technique to kill tigers, fearing not the tigers in the Malevolent Spirit Forest.

So Li Xuan and a few young men from the village set out with him.

Through the thirty li of Malevolent Spirit Forest, despite the presence of ferocious tigers and beasts, if one was lucky, they could pass through safely without encountering any.

Li Xuan and his group were not very lucky.

A Splendid Ferocious Tiger appeared.

The man who claimed to have learned the art of killing tigers immediately grasped his dagger, roared, and charged forward with a sliding tackle...

Only Li Xuan managed to escape in a sorry state and return to the small mountain village. He always believed that the reason he had escaped with his life was because, seeing the man's sliding tackle, he decisively turned and fled first.

This method of killing tigers was utterly unreliable; it was like throwing oneself into the tiger's mouth!

After that, only Li Xuan, a young and able-bodied man, remained in the village. The elderly, having lost their loved ones, passed away one after another in the following ten years. Half a month ago, Li Xuan had seen off the last old person in the village.

Looking at the empty mountain village, with only himself left, Li Xuan felt both sad and angry. Other transmigrators either rose against the odds or had extraordinary backgrounds.

And what about him?

He couldn't even leave the small mountain village!

No system, no cheats; he might end up dying alone in this small mountain village.

"Sigh, I originally thought that I could become like those in web novels, who with a single sword could traverse millions of li, slay demons, rule between heaven and earth, attain sainthood, and stand proud throughout the ages. I really thought too much,"

Li Xuan sighed in his heart, mocking himself, "Can't even get out of a small mountain village, yet dreaming of traversing millions of li with a single sword? Ha!"

Just because of this self-mockery, Xu Yan, who somehow arrived at the small mountain village and heard the latter part of "traverse millions of li with a single sword," mistook him for a hidden expert, and immediately knelt down, insisting on becoming his disciple.

"Senior, I have finally found you. Please take me as your disciple and teach me peerless divine skills!"

"What?!"

Li Xuan got a start, his eyes widened as he looked at the teenager, around sixteen or seventeen, dressed in fine clothes and wearing a Longsword at his waist. He was somewhat puzzled.

"Young master Xu Yan of East River Prefecture, from a young age, I aspired to seek the true Martial Arts. Today, by chance, I have met the senior and am thrice blessed. I hope the senior will take me as a disciple. I will dedicate myself to diligent cultivation and will not let down the senior's legacy!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Watching the teenager with frenetic eyes respectfully kowtow, Li Xuan was flabbergasted, with one thought in his mind: This kid's got a screw loose!

No matter how Li Xuan refused or denied being a reclusive master, Xu Yan wouldn't believe it and insisted on becoming a disciple. This zealous demeanor gave Li Xuan an endless headache.

"I'm not a reclusive master, nor do I know the Martial Arts Cultivation Methods. You've got the wrong person; I too am looking for someone to teach me Martial Arts Cultivation Methods!"

"Impossible!"

Xu Yan's gaze was resolute as he said, "Senior, do not deceive me anymore. You must be a hidden expert!"

"Look at this place, cliffs on all sides, a pleasing view. It's clearly a retreat for those seeking solitude. If Senior isn't a hidden expert, then why do you live here all alone?"

"Senior, please take me as your disciple. I will not fail to honor your legacy!"

Xu Yan continued to kowtow, his eyes fervent, his gaze steadfast.

"I am not a hidden expert. I don't know the methods of cultivation. I won't take disciples. You've really got the wrong person..."

Li Xuan looked on helplessly; this kid was so stubborn. How did he even manage to traverse the evil forest and reach this small village?

Had he damaged his brain in his search for a hidden expert?

"I understand!"

Xu Yan suddenly stood up, an expression of realization on his face.

"Becoming a disciple is a major matter, how could it be treated lightly? I shall return and prepare a suitable gift for my master!"

As Li Xuan stood there dumbfounded, Xu Yan ran off and quickly disappeared from sight.

Half a month blinked by.

During this half month, Li Xuan was annoyed he hadn't taken the opportunity to learn more about the outside world from Xu Yan or even see if there was a chance to leave the small mountain village.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan came back.

And he brought gifts to offer as tribute for becoming a disciple!

Determined to take him as his teacher!

No matter how much he denied it, Xu Yan firmly believed he was a hidden expert.

Li Xuan didn't want to deceive anyone, particularly not someone from a distinguished background. He didn't have any special powers or systems; if his true nature was found out, the consequences could be dire.

So he kept refusing, denying it over and over, but to no avail; Xu Yan was as stubborn as a mule, utterly convinced Li Xuan was a hidden expert.

"Senior, this is three hundred taels of gold. I know such mundane things do not enter your esteemed vision, but a token of respectable intent cannot be absent when taking a teacher, and this is a token of my sincerity!"

Xu Yan opened one of the boxes, inside of which were thirty neatly arranged gold ingots.

Li Xuan looked at the gold ingots, swallowed, feeling slightly tempted, but ultimately clenched his teeth firmly and said, "I do not take disciples! Nor am I a hidden expert. Please take it back, I'm only a few years older than you!"

"Although Senior appears young, you must have attained great cultivation to maintain such youth!"

Xu Yan still firmly believed he was a hidden expert, and opened the second box.

"This is the thousand-year-old ginseng treasured by my Xu Family. It is my second offering to you, Senior. I hope you will accept it!"

Li Xuan swallowed as he looked at the centuries-old ginseng in the box, its roots intact and shaped like a person. The scent wafted into his nostrils, revitalizing his spirit.

A thousand-year-old ginseng was undoubtedly a rare treasure. The elders in the village had said that a hundred-year-old ginseng could extend the life of those on the brink of death by three days, enhancing vitality and prolonging life.

If a hundred-year ginseng possessed such miraculous effects, then a thousand-year ginseng would be even more potent.

Li Xuan's heart wavered, but he resolved and continued, "Take it back, I'm truly not a hidden expert, and I don't know the methods of cultivation!"

Xu Yan opened the third box: "Senior, this is the Nine-leaf Ganoderma, my third offering for accepting me as your disciple!"

Nine-leaf Ganoderma!

Li Xuan found it difficult to look away. The village elders had mentioned that in legends passed down by ancestors, the Ganoderma of the world, when having nine leaves, was supreme. Consuming a Nine-leaf Ganoderma could prevent all ailments, ensure tireless mental capacity, prevent hair from graying, and extend life by twenty years!

A treasure that was difficult to find in the world!

Li Xuan gazed at the pale white, mushroom-like Ganoderma with nine purple leaves on its stem in the box. He took a deep breath, struggling to pull his gaze away, and with a pretense of profoundness, he sighed deeply.

"Enough! It's destiny that you've come here. As your teacher, I will accept you!"

Xu Yan simply offered too much, and he found it too hard to refuse!


Bab 2: Chapter 2: Improvising a Cultivation Technique on the Spot

"Disciple Xu Yan, greets Master!"

Xu Yan was so excited that he knelt down with a plop and respectfully kowtowed.

"Mmm, rise!"

Li Xuan silently reached out to cover the box containing the gift for becoming a disciple, his expression stern, putting on the air of a strict master.

He had not intended to deceive anyone, but alas, Xu Yan had offered far too much.

The gift was accepted, but as for the cultivation technique?

There was none!

But it didn't matter, he could just make something up.

Li Xuan considered himself, in his previous life, to have been a failing online novel author, so making up a cultivation method was not a big issue.

Given Xu Yan's less than sharp intellect, he shouldn't be able to tell the authenticity of the cultivation technique.

As for not being able to enter the beginner's level?

That would certainly not be a problem with the technique, but rather an issue of natural talent.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan stood up excitedly, gazing eagerly at Li Xuan.

"Master, when will you transmit the cultivation method to me?"

Seeing Xu Yan's hopeful eyes, Li Xuan put one hand behind his back and, pretending to be profound, slowly said, "I will tentatively accept you as my disciple, but if within one year, you have not entered the beginner's level, it means that you and I are not fated to be master and disciple. After that, you must not trouble me with your affairs, understand?"

Xu Yan's heart chilled, he took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Understood!"

"Master can rest assured, if I cannot enter the beginner's level within one year, it is due to my own lack of talent and not the fault of Master. I shall then give up the idea completely and will not disturb Master's peaceful cultivation!"

Li Xuan's face showed a gratified expression, having such an understanding disciple was truly wonderful.

Let alone one year, even ten or a hundred years would not be enough for him to enter the beginner's level.

Before making up a cultivation method to teach Xu Yan, Li Xuan needed to understand more about the outside world and the state of martial arts in this world.

Since Xu Yan mistook him for a reclusive expert who had withdrawn from the world and was unaware of the outside situation, it was only natural for Li Xuan to ask directly.

The less Li Xuan knew about the outside world, the less Xu Yan doubted, and the more he believed that his master was an old recluse with heavens-reaching cultivation and eternal youth.

He naturally spared no detail in sharing what he knew.

After some conversation, Li Xuan gained a general understanding of the outside world.

The remote village where he resided belonged to the eastern river region of Qi Country, and Qi Country had been established over a hundred years ago and was at its peak.

Presently, there were three major powers in the world: Qi Country, Wu Country, and the Northern Barbarians' court.

From Xu Yan's account, the martial arts of this world appeared not to be profound; there was no moving mountains and seas, no controlling the wind or flying. The strongest people could only leap across roofs, jump several meters, or lift heavy weights.

And Xu Yan himself had always been obsessed with legends from storybooks, determined to find a great master and cultivate a peerless, powerful cultivation technique.

Consequently, he was somewhat infamous in the eastern river region of Qi Country: everyone said the Xu family's young master was simple-minded for actually believing in such legends and seeking to learn from some reclusive expert!

Having learned about the world outside, Li Xuan felt somewhat disappointed—was this world not a high-martial world? Were there no immensely powerful martial arts?

Perhaps, Xu Yan simply couldn't reach them?

Regardless of the situation, exploring these uncertainties was not something Li Xuan could presently do. After understanding the outside world's power levels, he began to have a rough idea of how to fabricate a cultivation method to fool Xu Yan.

Cultivating it successfully was impossible; for now, he'd just make something up. And if Xu Yan failed to reach the beginner's level, it would be because of his own lack of talent, not because the technique itself was flawed.

With this thought in mind, Li Xuan spoke, "The cultivation method I pass on to you depends heavily on 'enlightenment'. Whether you can step onto the threshold depends on your aptitude and talent."

"I will give you one year. If you can't grasp the basics within a year, then it's not meant to be."

While Xu Yan was excited, he also felt some trepidation, fearing he might not be able to begin cultivating. He took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Please teach me the cultivation technique, Master. If I cannot grasp it, it will be due to my own lack of fortune and virtue!"

Li Xuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, slightly tilting his head upwards to look at the sky, and spoke in a measured tone, "The journey of martial arts is endless, but the beginning of cultivation starts invariably with Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement..."

Xu Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement; he listened quietly, afraid of missing a single word.

Li Xuan reminisced about the past when he used to write web novels, making up cultivation realms on the fly, and now he began to refine those ideas into a more complete cultivation overview.

"The beginning of martial arts starts with sensing qi and blood. Only by sensing qi and blood can one enter the stage of Skin Refinement. If you can't even sense qi and blood, it's all empty talk..."

"Skin Refinement, as the name suggests, is hardening the skin. Once Skin Refinement achieves great accomplishment, the skin becomes extremely tough, so that ordinary blades struggle to leave a mark, only a shallow white line at most on the flesh."

Since he was making it up, he naturally exaggerated the power of martial arts. Skin Refinement achieving great accomplishment to the point where ordinary blades couldn't harm? How impressive was that?

Seeing how excited Xu Yan was, Li Xuan knew he had thoroughly hoodwinked him.

"This is true martial arts! Just Skin Refinement alone makes one invulnerable to ordinary blades. If Bone Refinement and Viscera Refinement were included, how much stronger would one be?"

"I, Xu Yan, have finally found a hidden master and am learning the true martial arts. Once I begin my training, let's see who dares mock me!"

Xu Yan was fanatic with excitement brimming in his heart.

"Master, does achieving Skin Refinement mean I have begun my training?"

Xu Yan asked eagerly.

"This..."

Li Xuan instinctively wanted to nod and tell Xu Yan that hitting Skin Refinement meant he had begun. But then he thought, isn't that too simple?

Since it was all deception anyway, he might as well keep it grand.

He then said solemnly, "Of course not. Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement—these are just the basics of martial arts, not even enough to be considered as beginning."

Xu Yan was shocked internally, "Skin Refinement already makes one impervious to blades, and Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement are certainly far stronger. These are not even the beginning of martial arts, but just the basics? Then how powerful must one be after really starting?

At that moment, Xu Yan's desire and yearning for the initiation into martial arts knew no bounds.

"Master, what constitutes the beginning of martial arts training?"

"Well, the entrance to martial arts... when you reach Perfection in Viscera Refinement, when your qi and blood circulate the heavens, when your body undergoes a minor metamorphosis, your tendons thunder and your qi and blood roar like surging gangs, that is when you've truly begun," explained Li Xuan.

"Master, after entering the realm, what is the Minor Achievement, and what is the Great Achievement? How strong will my power be?"

"Martial arts divide into realms. After you begin, once your qi and blood soar a hundred feet into the sky, blazing hot as fire, easily warding off demons and spirits, capable of boiling seas and burning rivers, that is Great Achievement..."

Li Xuan continued to fabricate on the spot.

Xu Yan listened with even greater excitement and was about to ask more questions when Li Xuan, waving his hand to interrupt, said, "Enough, you haven't even started. Don't ask too much. Avoid overly ambitious goals. Cultivation requires patience, and impatience is detrimental to training!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Yan answered, a chill in his heart, hurriedly and respectfully.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he hadn't made up the later part of the cultivation process yet.

The made-up stages of Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, Viscera Refinement he had told Xu Yan about were enough to bamboozle him for now. Forget one year; he wouldn't be able to accomplish Skin Refinement in ten or even eight years.

Let alone actually beginning.
