Chapter 30: Devoting Oneself Fully to the Martial Path
Chapter 30: Devoting Oneself Fully to the Martial Path
Li Xuan was contemplating whether he should make up another two lines of the Qi and Blood Realm incantation to replace the previous four lines, so that Xu Yan could fill in the blanks and gain enlightenment from it.
"Being able to relate to the Qi and Blood Realm would make it easier for my disciple to fill in the gaps and achieve understanding."
However, the four lines of the incantation had already been taught. Was he supposed to come up with a reason to tell Xu Yan that those lines were not suitable for him and then provide a new set of instructions?
If he did that, wouldn't it make him, as a reclusive master, seem inadequate in his understanding of his disciple's potential?
"Maybe I should wait until my disciple comes to me for guidance, unable to fill in the blanks and gain insight on his own, before giving him a new incantation?"
"But if I do that, won't it shake his faith in me?"
Li Xuan sighed inwardly. This disciple was truly difficult to teach.
Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared in his mind.
"Your disciple has understood the essence of the martial path from the incantation you fabricated. As a result, you have gained insight into the cultivation method of the Qi and Blood Realm, and your strength has increased..."
In that instant, Li Xuan's mind was filled with the cultivation method of the Qi and Blood Realm, and his own Qi and blood doubled at that moment.
"Wow!"
Li Xuan's eyes widened, and he was thrilled. "This idiot disciple is amazing! How did he manage to deduce the true meaning of the martial path and this cultivation method from my made-up incantation? While this cultivation method can't be said to be completely unrelated to the incantation, it's still a far cry from it...
"He's a genius! How did he comprehend and fill in the gaps to arrive at this understanding of the martial path and cultivation method?"
One had to admit that this disciple was truly exceptional.
For the second time, the cheat code provided feedback, and his strength increased further.
However, after the feedback, the cheat code once again disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
"It seems that the cheat code only appears when my disciple successfully cultivates the bogus technique I taught him."
Li Xuan pondered.
Of course, there might be other ways to utilize the cheat code that he had yet to discover.
For now, the most important task was to guide Xu Yan, his disciple, help him enhance his strength, and continue his arduous cultivation journey.
...
"Disciple, it's commendable that you were able to understand the incantation within this period. Remember to stay humble and diligent in your cultivation."
Li Xuan took leisurely steps towards Xu Yan, as if he had seen through his disciple's achievement, and spoke with a hint of satisfaction.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan marveled, "Master has the insight of a sage! I've just comprehended the cultivation method, and he already knows it!"
"Disciple, how firm is your heart on the martial path?"
Li Xuan asked solemnly.
"Master, my heart is as firm as a rock!"
Xu Yan replied with unwavering determination.
"Are there no thoughts of women in your heart?"
"There are no women in my heart, disciple!"
"Good! Very good! With such dedication to the martial path, my disciple will surely reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future!"
Li Xuan exclaimed with delight.
"A good disciple should devote himself wholly to the grand pursuit of martial arts and not let thoughts of women distract him from his training. Only the martial path is the righteous way!"
I'm counting on you!
Li Xuan was pleased that his disciple had such a resolute heart for the martial path.
Ever since Xu Yan had gained insight into the Qi and Blood Realm incantation, his strength had been increasing daily, although he was still far from the ultimate goal of a hundred zhang of Qi and blood.
In just half a month, Xu Yan's Qi and blood had already reached ten zhang!
"Master, I've been away from home for a long time, and I wish to return and visit my parents."
One day, Xu Yan respectfully expressed his desire to go home, as he had been away for quite some time and was concerned that his parents might be worried about him.
"Go ahead."
Li Xuan nodded in agreement, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had been in this small village for a long time since his arrival in this world, and it was about time he left this remote place.
...
In the streets and alleys, teahouses, and inns of Donghe County, the hot topic of discussion was the wealthy Xu family and how a batch of their goods had been hijacked by mountain bandits.
"Where did these mountain bandits come from? How dare they hijack the Xu family's goods?"
"The Xu family's foolish young master was just rejected by the Grand Preceptor's daughter. With the Xu family's prestige greatly diminished, they've become an easy target."
"Even though the Grand Preceptor's daughter broke off the engagement, the Xu family still has the support of the Minister of Works. They're not to be trifled with."
The prominent figures of Donghe County whispered among themselves, discussing the situation.
In the reception hall of the Xu family residence, Xu Junhe sat at the head of the room with a grave expression. Looking at the group of people below him, he spoke, "Where did these mountain bandits come from? This batch of goods must be delivered as promised, or we will have to compensate them threefold!"
"Chen, the chief escort, and Wang, the guild leader, you two will personally escort the goods to Jin'an this time and make sure that the goods are delivered as promised."
Xu Junhe looked at the two burly men below him and gave his instructions.
"Rest assured, we will definitely deliver the goods as promised, and we have our ways of dealing with the mountain bandits," Chen, the chief escort, assured with a bow.
Xu Junhe nodded and, after making the necessary arrangements, dismissed them.
Chen, the chief escort, and Wang, the guild leader, were both peak experts in the martial world, having cultivated their internal energy to a high level.
With these two men on the job, the goods should be delivered safely.
However, thinking of the buyer of this batch of goods, a sense of worry crept into Xu Junhe's heart.
He had become the richest man in Donghe County and had married the daughter of the previous county guard and the current Minister of Works. He was no ordinary man.
This batch of goods being hijacked by mountain bandits and his failed attempt to seek help from the Grand Preceptor's residence made him realize that he was being targeted.
And this force targeting him came from none other than Jin'an in the imperial city of Qi!
Realizing the severity of the situation, he decisively deployed his two most powerful assets to ensure the safe delivery of the goods, leaving no excuse for his enemies to attack.
"I hope it's not what I think it is," Xu Junhe sighed inwardly.
Returning to the back courtyard, he found his wife, Madam Xu, looking worried. "Husband, Yan'er has been gone for a long time. I hope nothing has happened to him."
"Rest assured, madam. Yan'er will be fine," Xu Junhe said, feeling a bit overwhelmed. That foolish son of his was anything but considerate. It had been three months since he left, and there was still no news of him.
What worried Xu Junhe the most was the possibility of his foolish son being captured and held hostage. That would be truly disastrous!
As Xu Junhe worried about his son, Xu Yan was riding his horse back to Donghe County.
"Xu Junhe's foolish son? Hey, we've found you!"
A sinister voice suddenly sounded out, and two figures blocked Xu Yan's path.
