Li Xuan wrote the cultivation technique of “Daylight Golden Bell Guard” on a draft, carefully checked it to ensure the theoretical feasibility, and memorized the technique.
The qi and blood in his hand surged, and the draft turned into ashes in an instant.
The cultivation technique to be passed to Meng Chong had been compiled. The next step was to teach this disciple and wait for him to comprehend it.
The next day.
Just at the break of dawn, the sound of martial arts practice was heard in the open yard.
Meng Chong held a large machete, his vigorous swings reflecting a shiny glow from his bald head.
Li Xuan silently nodded. His second disciple, like Xu Yan, was diligent and hardworking. With disciples like these, how could he not become powerful?
“Disciple, come here!”
Li Xuan sat down on a chair.
“Master!
Meng Chong sheathed his knife into the ground, ceased his practice and walked excitedly over, respectfully saluting.
“Today, I will teach you the Way of Martial Arts.”
Li Xuan’s expression was solemn, he slowly said, “The martial arts I’m teaching you are not the ordinary fist and kick techniques you’ve learned so far. Those are merely worldly skills.
“In my Martial Arts, moving mountains and filling seas, and breaking the void with a punch, all are easy feats.
“The Martial Path is endless, but the cultivation of Martial Arts should also start from the foundation, and the first realm of Martial Arts is the Qi and Blood Realm…”
As Li Xuan spoke, he raised his hand, and in an instant, a surge of Qi and Blood swept into the sky, stirring the half-air.
Even as he concealed his aura, Meng Chong could still feel the terrifying power contained within this surge of Qi and Blood at such a close distance.
His eyes widened with excitement and a fanatic glint appeared in his eyes.
Martial Arts!
This is the real Martial Arts!
The first realm alone, the Qi and Blood Realm, is so terrifying!
Li Xuan retracted his Qi and Blood, and continued, “Martial Arts cultivation starts with refining the skin, refining the bones, refining the organs. These are the foundations.
“Only by laying a solid foundation can one travel a long way in Martial Arts.
Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Li Xuan lifted his hand again, his Qi and Blood solidifying into a palm, which he placed on Meng Chong’s shoulder, gripping his arm, his thigh.
“Disciple, your talent lies in your physique, and your physique is extraordinary, making it perfectly suited for physical Martial Arts. Thus, I will teach you the basics of physical Martial Arts, the Daylight Golden Bell Guard…”
Meng Chong excitedly touched his bald head and said, “I will follow Master’s arrangement!”
“Physical Martial Arts emphasizes the cultivation of the body, offering unparalleled defense and extraordinary prowess. It perfectly suits you.”
Li Xuan stood up, walking around Meng Chong.
Inwardly, he couldn’t help but sigh at his second disciple: naturally burly, muscles bulging, and a naturally bald head.
His facial features were quite handsome, but his masculine and powerful physique, bald head, and strong muscles overshadowed them.
No elegance was seen, only a display of a bold and powerful aura.
Anyone who saw him couldn’t help but praise, what a magnificent young man!
“A Martial Artist who focuses on physical cultivation, once they achieve their peak physical form, their body becomes a divine weapon…Of course, this is still too far for you. As long as you cultivate the Daylight Golden Bell Guard, even in the face of a thousand-strong army, you will remain unbreakable…”
Li Xuan continued to extol the power of Daylight Golden Bell Guard, inspiring Meng Chong’s fighting spirit and igniting his fanaticism.
Indeed, the more Meng Chong heard, the more excited he became. His muscles trembled, and his shiny head seemed even shinier.
“Listen well, I will now impart the cultivation method of Daylight Golden Bell
Guard…”
Li Xuan sat back down in the chair, and began speaking with a solemn face.
“Yes, Master!”
Meng Chong immediately knelt down and began to listen respectfully.
“The physical cultivation of Martial Arts is slightly different from the orthodox path of Martial Arts, which refines the skin, bones, and organs respectively. The physical path, however, is a simultaneous process…”
Li Xuan orally imparted the already compiled cultivation method line by line: first, you need to sense Qi and Blood, then guide the Qi and Blood from the inside to the surface, or vice versa, forming a circulation, thus cultivating the skin, bones and organs simultaneously.
“…My disciple, have you memorized it?”
Li Xuan asked after he explained the technique thoroughly.
“Master, I have memorized it.”
Meng Chong nodded.
He memorized the cultivation technique, but he still had some confusion about how exactly to practice it.
Li Xuan opportunately said: “My Martial Arts revolve around comprehension and intent, not the form of cultivation techniques. My disciple, you need to understand and comprehend their true essence.”
“The practice of Martial Arts depends heavily on your natural gift. Having observed your method of avenging, you seem to have quite a peculiar understanding – your talent should not be inferior.”
“Immerse yourself in understanding the Cultivation Technique, I believe you can comprehend it.”
He offered Meng Chong some encouragement and then paused before continuing, “The cultivation technique is all there is, whether one can begin practicing it depends on their comprehension.”
“A mentor can lead you to the door, but the practice depends on the individual.”
“You need to be calm and composed, neither arrogant nor hot-headed, to comprehend the intent in Cultivation Techniques.”
Meng Chong was somewhat confused but felt that these powerful martial arts techniques were indeed profoundly mysterious. It wasn’t easy just to get started.
“Master, I am confident that I will comprehend them!”
Meng Chong asserted.
“Very good, do not let me down!”
Li Xuan nodded his approval.
He stood up and assumed a horse stance, saying, “Take the horse stance, meditate deeply, begin by sensing your vital energy.”
“Yes, Master!”
Meng Chong nodded, perching into a horse stance in the empty courtyard.
“Cultivation requires a balance between work and rest. When it’s time, cook, clean the courtyard, wipe the tables… relax yourself, loosen your mind. Do not be always tense. Sometimes, the more stubborn you arc, the less you gain…”
Li Xuan imparted earnestly.
Xu Yan initially achieved enlightenment of the fabricated cultivation technique and successfully stepped onto the path of martial arts during such a training process.
“Master, I understand!”
Meng Chong nodded.
“Also, when stewing chicken, remember to add Jiuye Yuanzhi or
Thousand-year Ginseng…”
Li Xuan instructed.
“Yes, Master!”
Li Xuan, with his hands behind his back, prepared to go out for a walk.
Suddenly, he said, “If you need anything, feel free to ask Shi’er.”
“Yes, Master!”
Meng Chong nodded.
Shi’er was quite competent. For now, Li Xuan considered him a runner, it was up to him to seize the opportunity to make a good impression.
The County Magistrate’s Residence in Yunshan County.
The County Magistrate sat together with the elderly man in linen robes, Shi’er, and others.
“Xu Yan exhibited unparalleled might in the prefecture city and single-handedly defeated the Shenwei Army…”
The County Magistrate said with an astonished expression.
“Now, all the gentry and dignitaries of the prefecture city are seeking the expert, hoping to become his disciples and learn the indomitable martial arts.”
His eyes exuded a glimmer of fanaticism.
Initially, he had been prepared to run away. After all, Li Xuan was quite terrifying. He could easily crush them to death if he desired. However, news from the prefecture city about Xu Yan’s display of power, like a god among men, dramatically changed his decision.
And Li Xuan was Xu Yan’s master!
Isn’t he a mysterious expert?
The expert was right here! How could one even want to run away now?
Instead, he was wondering how to flatter and please the expert, hoping to get some guidance.
Since their world view has been refreshed, their initial rebellious intentions were fading. Their foremost desire was becoming genuine martial artists and acquiring the powerful martial arts.
“The expert has accepted Meng Chong as his disciple. I have given him some of the Nine Leaf Yuanzhi and Thousand-year Ginseng from our school’s treasures. I think we should continue to give him more of these valuable medicines…”
Shi’er seized the opportunity to speak.
Although these valuable medicines were precious, they couldn’t help them to become powerful martial artists like Xu Yan. Giving them to the expert and receiving a reward would be more valuable..
