Li Xunhuan said, "It's absolutely impossible for them to be at the half-step Nascent Soul stage! I've observed those three, and they are indeed the most promising disciples transferred from Zhongzhou, but their cultivation levels are hard to escape my discerning eyes. All three are at the peak of the 9th level of the Core Formation stage! However, there is still a possibility that these three can take the Bursting Yuan Pill to boost their strength in an emergency!"
Lin Caogen said, "Now that you, Sect Master, have confirmed the cultivation levels of these three, my side still has a 30-50% chance of winning!"
Li Xunhuan said, "You're too modest! Before this competition, I had Elder Ji perform divination, and the divination showed that you would definitely win. That's why I went ahead and made the bet with Shi Xingsen without hesitation. I've also heard about your situation! You're only at the Body Refinement stage now. Close combat is your strength, but ranged attacks are a huge weakness. Today, I'll help you make up for this deficiency!"
Lin Caogen exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Master! How can this be remedied?"
Li Xunhuan said, "My throwing knife technique never misses, perfectly compensating for your inability to attack from a distance! I heard you cultivate on the Fragment Continent, where you're known as the Divine Archery Strategist! Your archery skills are unparalleled! Since you have such a foundation, learning this throwing knife technique is the best course of action. While arrows are powerful, they require a long charging time! Throwing knives, on the other hand, are flexible and can be used in a few steps without charging! However, their power is slightly weaker than arrows. Although your cultivation is only at the Body Refinement stage, your physical strength is five or six times that of cultivators of the same level. Using your physical strength to throw the knife can also have a surprise effect!"
Lin Caogen was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master! But I've heard that your flying knife technique is at the Heavenly Rank! I'm afraid Heavenly Rank secret techniques are not easy to cultivate."
Li Xunhuan said, "It's alright. Your IQ is a hundred times that of an ordinary person. There are still two days before the competition! Learn as much as you can!"
After saying that, Li Xunhuan led Lin Caogen directly to a wild bamboo forest outside the guild hall!
Beneath Li Xunhuan's clothes was a scabbard containing 20 small throwing knives. Li Xunhuan said, "The number of throwing knives is limited, and each one must be precise to kill the enemy! It is even necessary to anticipate the enemy's movements and make the throwing knives spin, pierce, and whirl to kill multiple enemies."
Lin Caogen said, "The difficulty lies in killing multiple people with a single strike! You have to anticipate the force, angle, airflow, and the hardness or softness of the object you hit with the blade!"
Li Xunhuan sighed, "That's right! You really understand immediately! Actually, my flying knife technique, though called a Heaven-Rank secret technique, isn't that remarkable! It's just a method to strengthen your spiritual power! When a person has extremely strong spiritual power, they can precisely control weapons and even use spiritual power to attack invisibly! My spiritual power has now reached the peak of the third rank! So when fighting, in addition to using immortal energy, I can also use my divine soul! This is the fundamental reason why I can rank first in combat power on the Three Rings Continent!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "I see! Then, Sect Master, could you also try alchemy? After all, I've heard that people with strong spiritual power are best suited to be alchemists!"
Li Xunhuan said, "That's right! So I have another identity! That is, an alchemist! But very few people know this! Back then, when Fu Yunxuan's father was injured by the Xuanming Elders, his body was poisoned by cold! It was you who helped Yunxuan find the Fire Dragon Fruit! And the Warm Heart Pill was also refined by me, which saved Yunxuan's father!"
Lin Caogen suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I never imagined that you, Sect Master, were such a genius!"
Li Xunhuan said, "A person's energy is limited! It is precisely because I have been diligently cultivating my spiritual power and have been fond of studying alchemy that I have neglected my cultivation. My cultivation level is currently stuck at the half-step Nascent Soul stage for a hundred years, and my progress is very slow! But Cao, you are exceptionally intelligent and your learning ability is a hundred times stronger than others! You might be able to cultivate three times!"
Lin Caogen asked doubtfully, "What is the Three Cultivations?"
Li Xunhuan rarely showed a smile and said, "Your physical strength far surpasses that of others! On the surface, you cultivate the Golden Bell Cover technique, but in reality, you are cultivating a rare body-refining technique! This body-refining technique focuses on training the human body and stimulating its potential! It is said that in ancient times, there was an ancient god clan! The ancient god clan could compete with other gods without being at a disadvantage simply by relying on their physical strength!"
