Chapter 2: Making Up a Technique on the Spot
"Disciple Xu Yan, hello to Master!"
Xu Yan was so excited that he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed respectfully.
"Well, get up!"
Li Xuan silently reached out and closed the box containing the apprenticeship gift. He looked serious and acted like a strict teacher.
He didn't want to lie, but Xu Yan gave him too much.
I accepted him as a disciple, but as for practicing martial arts? No!
But it doesn’t matter, just make it up.
Li Xuan thought to himself that in his previous life, he was also a failed online writer, so it wouldn't be a big problem for him to make up a set of martial arts techniques.
Judging from the fact that Xu Yan's brain isn't working very well, he probably can't tell whether the martial arts is genuine or fake.
As for not being able to get started in cultivation?
That must not be a problem of martial arts, but a problem of aptitude.
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan stood up excitedly and looked at Li Xuan eagerly.
"Master, when will you teach me how to practice martial arts?"
Looking at Xu Yan's expectant eyes, Li Xuan put one hand behind his back, pretending to be profound, and said slowly: "I will accept you as my disciple for the time being, but if you don't get started in cultivation within a year, it means that you and I are not destined to be master and disciple. You can't pester me to be your master in the future. Do you understand?"
Xu Yan's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Understood!"
"Master, don't worry. If I can't enter the sect within a year, it's because I don't have the aptitude. I can't blame you. I will definitely give up the idea and won't disturb you from practicing meditation anymore!"
Li Xuan looked very pleased. It was great that his disciple had such awareness.
Not to mention one year, it would be impossible to get started even in ten or a hundred years.
Before making up a set of martial arts techniques to pass on to Xu Yan, Li Xuan needed to first understand some information about the outside world and the martial arts situation in this world.
Since Xu Yan mistakenly believed that he was a reclusive master who had already withdrawn from the world and lived in seclusion, it was understandable that he was unaware of the situation in the outside world, so Li Xuan asked directly.
The more Li Xuan knew nothing about the outside world, the more Xu Yan believed that his master was an old monster who lived in seclusion and had great cultivation and eternal youth.
Naturally, I will tell you everything I know.
After some understanding, Li Xuan had a general understanding of the outside world.
The small mountain village is located in the Donghe County of Qi State. Qi State had been established for more than a hundred years and was at its peak.
There are three kingdoms in the world today, namely Qi, Wu and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.
From Xu Yan, I learned that the martial arts in this world do not seem to be very high. There is no ability to move mountains and seas, nor the power to control the air and fly into the sky. The strong ones can only fly over eaves and walls, leap several feet, and lift thousands of pounds.
As for Xu Yan, he has been obsessed with some storybooks and legends since he was a child, and he is determined to find a master to practice extremely powerful and peerless magic skills.
Therefore, he was well-known in Donghe County, but it was not a good reputation. It was said that the son of the Xu family was not very smart. He actually believed in the legends and went to learn from some hidden master! After learning about the outside world, Li Xuan felt a little regretful. This world was not a high-level martial arts world? There was no powerful martial arts?
Of course, maybe Xu Yan couldn't get in touch with it? No matter which situation it was, it was not something Li Xuan could explore at this stage. After he understood the martial arts value of the outside world, he had a general idea of how to compile a cultivation method to fool Xu Yan.
It is impossible to succeed in cultivation, so just fool around for now. If he can't get started it's because Xu Yan's aptitude is not good, not because his own skills are not good.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan said, "The cultivation method that your master is teaching you focuses on the word 'enlightenment'. Whether you can get started depends on your aptitude and talent."
"Master will give you one year. If you cannot enter the door within one year, then you will have no chance."
Xu Yan was excited, but also a little nervous, fearing that he would not be able to get started. He took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Master, please teach me the technique. If I cannot get started, it is because I, Xu Yan, do not have enough blessings!"
Li Xuan put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky, and said in a slow tone: "The path of martial arts is endless, but the beginning of cultivation is nothing more than refining the skin, bones, and internal organs..."
Xu Yan's eyes were excited and he listened quietly, afraid to miss any word.
Li Xuan recalled the situations in which he made up the settings of cultivation realms when he was writing online articles in his previous life. He refined them a little and compiled a relatively complete outline of cultivation.
"The beginning of martial arts begins with sensing qi and blood. Only by sensing qi and blood can we enter the skin refining stage. If we can't even sense qi and blood, then everything is empty talk..."
"Refining the skin, as the name suggests, is to temper the skin membrane. Once the skin is fully refined, it will be extremely tough and difficult for ordinary people to be injured by swords and knives. If they cut their body, it will only leave a light white mark..."
Since you are going to make up a story, you naturally have to exaggerate the power of martial arts. After mastering the skin refining, ordinary people will be hard to be hurt by swords and knives. Isn't that amazing?
Looking at Xu Yan's excited expression, you can tell that he has been fooled.
"This is the true martial arts! Just refining the skin has already made ordinary people invulnerable to swords and knives. If it is refining the bones and organs, how powerful will it be?"
"I, Xu Yan, have finally found a hidden master and learned the true martial arts from him. Now, let me teach you how to fight and see who dares to laugh at me!"
Xu Yan's eyes were fanatical and he was extremely excited.
"Master, once you refine the skin, does that mean you have entered the realm of enlightenment?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xu Yan asked excitedly.
"this……"
Li Xuan subconsciously nodded and told Xu Yan that skin refining was the entry point.
But on second thought, doesn’t this seem a little simple?
It's all nonsense anyway, so just keep fooling people on a big level.
So he said seriously: "Of course it's not the entry level. Refining the skin, bones, and organs are just the basics of martial arts. It's not even the entry level!"
Xu Yan was shocked: "Skin refining is already hard to be damaged by swords and knives, so bone refining and internal organ refining are naturally even more powerful. This is not even the beginning of martial arts? It's just the basics of martial arts? Then how powerful will one be after entering the door?"
At this moment, Xu Yan was full of desire and yearning to learn martial arts.
"Master, what does it take to enter the martial arts world?"
"As for the entry into the martial arts, when you have perfected your internal organs, your Qi and blood circulate throughout your body, your body has undergone a minor transformation, your tendons and bones are rumbling, and your Qi and blood are as strong as the wind, then you have entered the martial arts world."
"Master, after entering the martial arts world, what about minor and major achievements? How strong will your strength be?"
"This martial art is divided into different realms. After entering the door, when your energy and blood surge into the sky, burning like fire, and demons and evil spirits are scared away, and rivers and seas are burned, this is the great achievement..."
Li Xuan continued to make up stories on the spot.
The more Xu Yan listened, the more excited he became. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, Li Xuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, saying, "Okay, you haven't even entered the door yet, don't ask too many questions, and don't be too ambitious. You must be patient when practicing. Being impatient and irritable is not conducive to practice!"
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan's heart trembled, and he said hurriedly and respectfully.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. It was not that he didn't want to continue, but the subsequent training had not been compiled yet.
The three stages of cultivation that he made up now, namely refining the skin, refining the bones, and refining the internal organs, were enough to fool Xu Yan. Not to mention one year, it would be absolutely impossible to really cultivate to the stage of refining the skin even in eight or ten years.
Not to mention getting started.
