Rather than be confident in his own crafted cultivation technique, he was more confident in Xu Yan!

“Xu Yan should be able to comprehend the cultivation technique. There’s no issue in mastering the technique beyond the Innate Realm. The realization of my grand martial arts ambition completely depends on him.”

Li Xuan expressed his admiration.

Initially, it was a technique he had casually made up, but Xu Yan was able to comprehend and practice it successfully.

The cultivation technique he formulated now is more comprehensive than before. The theory is more solid, the levels are more distinct, and it’s based on reasonable data. Considering Xu Yan’s exceptional talent, there should be no issues practicing it.

Nevertheless, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to practice.

After all, the cultivation technique is more comprehensive now.

“When Xu Yan comes back from this trip, I’ll transmit the cultivation technique beyond the Innate Realm to him.”

Xu Yan went to the capital of Qi Country to instruct his grandfather’s people in cultivation.

“It should be roughly in these few days that he can break through the initial stage of the Innate Realm, right?”

Li Xuan estimated that Xu Yan would break through the initial stage of the Innate Realm within these few days.

He glanced at Shi’er, who was in the midst of strenuous cultivation.

He was about to complete his Body Refinement.

“The gap in talent is truly tremendous.”

Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

Even after Shi’er fully completes his Body Refinement, it would still take some time to reach the Thunderous Bone stage, with his Qi and blood soaring and successfully stepping into ATartial Arts, breaking through the Qi and Blood Realm.

He will be stuck at the Body Refinement completion stage; it would be a bottleneck for him.

“This is like the bottleneck of Inner Realm Martial Arts when trying to break through from fourth-grade to third-grade?”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

As he had nothing else to do, he took out his ancient book and began to study it in detail as he does, opening it at the first page.

“I have a feeling, if I can deduce some of its mysteries, 1 will definitely make progress.

“Is this Taicang, a kind of cultivation technique?

“But at the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like a cultivation technique. Sometimes, it seems like a map, some kind of terrain, and seems like some sort of a charm…”

The ancient book was clearly not simple, but its mysteries were not yet understood.

Li Xuan wasn’t in a hurry, he was free anyway. Studying it daily, surely he’d understand something one day.

Wu Country, Nanhe County.

Nanhe County was a border county, neighboring Qi Country – a place too far from the imperial capital.

Honorary Member Zheng was the bully of Nanhe County. He was notorious for his many evil deeds such as forcibly taking girls and seizing fertile lands… Half a month ago, he even had the audacity to force himself on a widow in the middle of the night.

When met with resistance, he even killed the son of the widow.

This incident stirred up great public outrage, but even the County Magistrate had to tread carefully around Honorary Member Zheng. The angry public not only failed to get justice but were also brutally beaten up by his house servants.

Then, Honorary Member Zheng’s mansion had trouble this day.

A young girl clad in a white skirt, exceptionally ethereal and beautiful, approached him to persuade him to repent for his evil deeds and apologize to the people, pleading for their forgiveness.

Would Honorary Member Zheng listen?

However, upon hearing that the girl was the current Heavenly Mother from the Heavenly Mother sect, he was a little unsettled.

The Heavenly Mother Sect had numerous experts. If they wanted to kill him, how could he evade it?

Therefore, he agreed perfunctorily. Moreover, he even asked his steward on the spot to distribute money and compensate the people who had been harmed by him to apologize. He instructed preparation for a grand banquet to entertain the Heavenly Mother.

While claiming to listen to the Heavenly Mother’s teachings, he was actually harboring malicious intentions. The Heavenly Mother’s extraordinarily beautiful face was something he had never seen in his life.

Furthermore, in his view, she was just a young girl. If she fell into his hands, he knew many ways to make her submit. Once she submits, not only will the crisis be resolved, but he could also control part of the power of the Heavenly Mother sect.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. His face, however, maintained a sincere expression, proclaiming his heartfelt repentance and willingness to give away his entire fortune to atone for his lifetime of sins!

“You are merciful, Heavenly Mother. Please forgive my sins. This is my atonement. Heavenly Mother, since I am sincere, please have this cup of tea and forgive my sins.”

With sincerity and devotion, Honorary Member Zheng knelt on the ground and offered her the fragrant tea with both hands.

The young girl in white, with clear eyes and a face that seemed to radiate mercy, took the tea from him. With a melodious and touching voice, she said, “If you sincerely repent, you will certainly be forgiven. Do more good deeds in the future to atone for your sins!”

“Yes, Heavenly Mother!”

Honorary Member Zheng prostrated himself on the ground.

The white-clad young girl lifted her hand, took a sip from the teacup.

Honorary Member Zheng was overjoyed immediately and sprung to his feet, instructing his maid by his side: “Quick, assist Heavenly Mother to my bedroom to rest!”

Task accomplished!

That Heavenly Mother is too naive.

“You?”

The white-clad young girl was furious. As she rose her hand to point at him, she suddenly felt dizzy and leaned onto the table.

Two maids stepped forward and helped the young girl to leave.

Honorary Member Zheng looked thrilled, walked out of the hall, and instructed the steward: “Tell Coach Wang to keep close guard. We definitely cannot let any experts from the Heavenly Mother sect discover this.

“I want to treat this little beauty well. Fetch my medicine and also those toys, make everything ready.”

The steward nodded and replied: “Master, enjoy yourself. I have fetched the medicine for you, and those toys are kept in the secret room.”

A flask of medicine was handed to Honorary Member Zheng.

Overjoyed, Honorary Member Zheng directly poured out a pill and swallowed it. This pill was made using tiger, leopard, and deer whips blended with precious medicinal ingredients.

“Little beauty, I am coming. Let you, Heavenly Mother, experience my prowess!

“Hahaha, I’m so excited. This kind of beauty, only I am worthy of her..”
