I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Furthermore, with the Inner Realm Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, he had a point of reference. This made it easier for him to develop subsequent techniques, so he would not be left without a direction.

However, there was one critical aspect that he needed to take seriously – any future techniques he developed, no matter the circumstances, had to be stronger than the Inner Realm Martial Arts!

Only this way could he solidify his teachings as the one true Martial Arts!

“If my Martial Arts were to be spread, hiss!”

Li Xuan suddenly realized, if his teachings were to be spread, it would inevitably replace the existing Inner Realm Martial Arts.

It would spark a doctrinal dispute!

“I cannot rush things; I must be cautious and patient, at least, until 1 have a powerful disciple,” Li Xuan decided.

Starting a debate about authenticity prematurely could cause a massive storm that he would not be able to withstand with his current abilities.

Besides, his goal was to develop techniques, teach gifted disciples, make himself stronger, and become invincible.

He shouldn’t get involved in conflicts that would hinder his progress toward becoming stronger.

“I can start from the borderlands!”

Li Xuan had begun to formulate a plan.

He could start by promoting his Martial Arts in the borderlands and, once their strength improved, they could venture into the Inner Realm and spread his teachings gradually.

Even if a debate about authenticity arose, he could stay in the background and watch events unfold.

There would naturally be warriors from the borderlands to defend their own Martial Arts.

Of course, this was just a general idea. Whether it could be implemented, how it would be implemented, and if it could be implemented remained to be seen.

What was urgent now, was for him to become stronger and help his disciples become stronger as quickly as possible.

Only by enhancing his disciples’ abilities and having them successfully cultivate the techniques he developed, could he reap a more substantial reward.

He glanced at Xu Yan, who awaited his decision with anticipation. Li Xuan nodded, stating, “Alright, take some time to absorb and reflect on the gains from your battle with Xu Yan. You may come to see me tomorrow.”

“Yes, Master!” Xu Yan replied enthusiastically.

“Master, I have to make a trip back to the Donghe County!”

He had left his precious sword at home in Donghe County.

“Alright!”

Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan hurriedly left.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong, who was in deep cultivation, then turned to Shi’er, who had just returned and was unaware of what had happened. “You can just prepare meals for Meng Chong.”

“Yes, my Lord!” Shi’er respectfully replied.

Li Xuan rose from his chair, holding the long knife from Xue Wuxin with one hand and the bag left by Xue Wuxin with the other, and went into his room.

He had deliberately kept this bag.

Upon entering the room, he placed the long knife to the side. The knife was not a conventional steel weapon; it was a treasured knife capable of bearing True Qi.

He opened the bag to find a small booklet stained with blood. One look at it told him that it was not a typical item.

“The Cultivation Technique practiced by Xue Wuxin!”

Li Xuan was delighted. There were indeed gains to be made.

He took out the small booklet.

Inside the bag were two white-colored crystals. Li Xuan took them out and sensed that they contained Spiritual Energy.

“These must be the Spiritual Stones, or Spirit Crystals, from the Inner Realm!”

Given the existence of the Heavenly Earth Lingji in the Inner Realm, which offered a gentle Spiritual Energy, the presence of gemstones containing Spiritual Energy was only logical.

Gemstones that stored Spiritual Energy were either Spiritual Stones or Spirit Crystals.

However, it was clear that these were extremely rare. After all, Xue Wuxin, a Grandmaster-level martial artist, had only two Spirit Crystals.

He relied on his own blood essence for healing, not Spirit Crystals, so there was no issue with him depleting the crystals for healing purposes.

Ultimately, the rarity of the Spirit Crystals meant that even a Grandmaster like him did not possess many..
