I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 89: The Exchange of Heaven and Earth, Wu Country's Martial Arts Conference

"Master, I will have someone notify him to come another day."

When Xu Yan saw that his master agreed, he felt relieved.

Xie Lingfeng was still good. He could be considered Xu Yan's first Martial Dao friend, and he had contributed to Xu Yan's comprehension of Sword Intent before his breakthrough.

"Master, Junior Brother is contemplating the profound principles of the Eight Trigrams. I've noticed that his insights are different from mine, so I want to have a mutual discussion with him. Perhaps we will gain new insights."

Xu Yan sought his master's opinion.

Li Xuan was taken aback. He suddenly thought of a question: he was supposed to pass on the Eight Trigrams to each disciple, and each disciple's insights would inevitably be different.

If they were to have mutual discussions and exchanges, would it trigger more insights?

This applied not only to the Eight Trigrams but also to Martial Dao in general.

Certainly, Xu Yan cultivated orthodox Martial Dao, while Meng Chong cultivated physical Martial Dao. However, since they were both Martial Dao, they could naturally have mutual discussions.

Perhaps the disciples could gain insights from each other and add color to the cause of Martial Dao.

And he himself could also gain greater rewards.

With this in mind, Li Xuan nodded and said, "The Eight Trigrams contain the profound principles of heaven and earth. Each person's insights will be different depending on their stage of comprehension. Mutual discussions and exchanges are also a way to promote insights."

"It's good that you have this idea with Meng Chong."

"As disciples of the same master, the insights into Martial Dao can mutually confirm and elevate each other. Whether it's orthodox Martial Dao or physical Martial Dao, your respective insights into Martial Dao..."

"Perhaps you can bring new enlightenment to each other and gain a deeper understanding of Martial Dao."

Xu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he excitedly said, "Yes, Master!"

"Go then."

Li Xuan nodded.

Xu Yan left excitedly.

"Meng Chong should also be close to comprehending the Body Technique, right?"

Li Xuan pondered.

Suddenly, a feedback came from the Goldfinger.

"Your disciple Meng Chong has achieved a minor completion in the Great Sun Golden Bell and a minor breakthrough in the Lifeblood Realm. Your physical strength has been significantly enhanced!"

Physical strength enhancement!

Li Xuan felt that his own body had instantly become stronger.

Meng Chong's minor breakthrough in cultivation didn't bring much feedback, only about a doubling of his physical strength.

Having currently taken in two disciples, the gains were not small. Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder if he should take on a third disciple.

For the third disciple, what kind of Martial Dao technique should he create?

Quality matters more than quantity when it comes to disciples.

After all, creating a new technique, especially a powerful one, was not an easy task.

"Should I go out more and explore? I've been staying in Cloud Mountain County all this time. How can I recruit new disciples?"

Li Xuan fell into contemplation.

He wondered if it was because he had transmigrated that he ended up being trapped in a small village and couldn't leave, which made him become more reclusive.

Especially since he didn't need to exert himself or work hard to cultivate and obtain various resources for improving his strength. He relied solely on his disciples for that, which made him even less inclined to move.

At this moment, he remembered the contemporary Tianmu of the Tianmu Sect, that little girl.

"This little girl has good medical skills and can even persuade evil people to do good and stop doing evil. I wonder how talented she is. If she didn't come to Cloud Mountain County, as a master, I wouldn't have a reason to specifically take her as a disciple."

"Martial Dao cultivation ultimately requires some auxiliary methods, such as medicinal pills... Let me think, can I create a technique related to medicinal pills?"

Li Xuan fell into contemplation.

He already had ideas for the third branch of Martial Dao in his mind.

The only question was how to create it and find a suitable disciple who could comprehend it.

This requires a certain foundation.

In the practice of Martial Dao, how can one lack elixirs?

Extraordinary talents like Xu Yan and Meng Chong may not need the assistance of elixirs in their Martial Dao cultivation, but other ordinary Martial Artists may still require them.

Moreover, if there are suitable elixirs, they can also assist in tempering the golden bones.

Although the golden bones tempered with elixirs are not as pure and powerful as those tempered through innate talent, they are still golden bones.

The foundation of Martial Dao far surpasses copper bones.

"There should be some kind of elixirs or potions in the Inner Domain that can assist in Martial Dao cultivation, right? When Xie Lingfeng comes, I'll see if I can coax out some methods from the Inner Domain. With a reference, it will be much easier to create them."

Li Xuan had a plan in mind.

Outside Cloud Mountain County, in the mountains and forests.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong stood on the Eight Trigrams Diagram.

"This is Qian, representing heaven, and this is Kun, representing earth..."

Xu Yan stepped on the Eight Trigrams Diagram and explained his insights and understanding one by one.

Meng Chong listened silently, deep in thought.

"Junior brother, this is the Light Swan Body Technique that senior brother has realized."

After Xu Yan finished explaining, he displayed the Light Swan Body Technique, his figure floating and swift, silent and invisible.

He also explained the process of how he comprehended the Light Swan Body Technique.

Then, with his footsteps crossing, his figure instantly changed position.

"This is the Shifting Technique. It was a sudden inspiration that I had during my battle with Blood Wu Xin."

Xu Yan explained the Shifting Technique as well.

Meng Chong looked at him admiringly and said, "Senior brother, your talent is beyond me."

"Not at all, it's just that our talents focus on different aspects."

Xu Yan shook his head.

"Senior brother, this is my understanding."

Meng Chong also explained his recent insights into the Eight Trigrams one by one.

Xu Yan fell into deep thought.

Meng Chong's insights were something he hadn't expected.

The two brothers then began to discuss and present their insights to each other, starting with body techniques.

Xu Yan explained the Shifting Technique to provide Meng Chong with a direction for comprehension. For Meng Chong, he felt that the Shifting Technique was not quite suitable for him.

So, he had to comprehend a body technique that suited him.

In the following days, Xu Yan and Meng Chong exchanged insights on the Eight Trigrams Diagram every day, with Xu Yan mostly explaining his insights into body techniques.

Li Xuan silently watched, amazed in his heart, "I didn't know that the Eight Trigrams could be comprehended in this way. This disciple of mine is really something, his insights are increasing!"

He felt that Meng Chong was about to comprehend a body technique.

In the process of mutual exchange of insights, Xu Yan also had new realizations, but he didn't know what powerful body technique he would comprehend.

After silently observing a few times, Li Xuan stopped paying attention and instead focused on guiding Shi Er in Internal Organ Refining.

On this day, everything was as usual.

Li Xuan lay on the chair, leisurely contemplating the possibilities of various branches of Martial Dao and how to make them powerful and mysterious.

A golden light emerged.

"Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the Horizontal Shifting Technique. You have achieved mastery in the Horizontal Shifting Technique."

The Horizontal Shifting Technique!

Similar to the Shifting Technique, but different, the Horizontal Shifting Technique involved instantaneously shifting positions, either left or right, forward or backward, or even up or down.

The positions of the horizontal shifts were relatively fixed, but because they could be continuously performed, it meant that the positions could be constantly changed.

This was a true body technique for combat, allowing one to instantly approach or distance oneself from the enemy. Similar to the Shifting Technique, but also different.

Moving and shifting positions is more in line with Meng Chong's style. With his powerful physical body and Martial Dao, he has an advantage in close combat.

What suits best is the best.

"Shifting and moving positions + horizontal shifting and moving positions, you have achieved the Qiankun shifting, you have achieved great success in Qiankun shifting." Goldfinger's feedback followed.

Qiankun shifting!

This is the Integrated Union, formed by the combination of shifting and moving positions and horizontal shifting and moving positions, and it is even more mysterious and unpredictable.

If one's strength is strong enough, the world can be turned upside down, and changes can happen in an instant.

Li Xuan was excited: "Good disciple, you have contributed to my Martial Dao career!"

His strength has become stronger again.

"When extraordinary disciples gather together and exchange Martial Dao, they can mutually promote each other and help in the comprehension of Martial Dao," Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

"And, the techniques I have created for my disciples are all different. Through such exchanges and verification, they can comprehend new methods of Martial Dao."

"The exchange between Xu Yan and Meng Chong, orthodox Martial Dao and physical Martial Dao, they should also gain new insights and benefits from each other."

"If successful, Goldfinger's feedback to me will greatly promote the development of my Martial Dao career."

Li Xuan looked forward to it, hoping that his two disciples would continue to inspire him with powerful methods of Martial Dao.

The more methods of Martial Dao he obtained, the more techniques he mastered, the easier it would be for him to create techniques in the future, and he would not lose his direction.

Meng Chong comprehended the method of horizontal shifting and moving positions and was extremely excited. He finally comprehended a combat body technique that suited him.

"Master, I have finally comprehended a body technique," Meng Chong said excitedly upon his return.

"Not bad, but your body technique has some limitations. It is suitable for combat, but not so effective for long-distance travel or chasing enemies," Li Xuan nodded and pointed out the limitations of horizontal shifting and moving positions.

Meng Chong was taken aback, lost in thought.

In battle, the technique was limited to a certain range of the battlefield. His horizontal shifting and moving positions allowed him to arrive in an instant, with extremely fast speed, making it difficult for enemies to defend against.

It allowed him to instantly evade enemy attacks.

However, if he needed to chase enemies over long distances, it would not be sufficient.

The advantage of the horizontal shifting and moving positions technique lies in its ability to instantly reach short distances and evade attacks in an instant.

"Master, I understand. I will continue to work hard," Meng Chong said firmly.

At this moment, Shi Er returned from outside, holding a chicken in his hand. When he saw Meng Chong, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Meng Chong frowned and asked.

"I heard some news from Wu Country about you..." Shi Er smiled awkwardly.

"What news?" Meng Chong looked curious. After escaping to Cloud Mountain County from Wu Country and becoming Li Xuan's disciple, he hadn't paid attention to anything else and had devoted himself entirely to the practice of Martial Dao.

"Didn't the Emperor of Wu Country offer a reward of 100,000 taels of gold for capturing you? After such a long time, they haven't been able to catch you, and the reward has increased. Whoever captures you can obtain a 3,000-year-old mountain ginseng, ten precious medicines, and a noble title..." Shi Er's voice trembled with excitement.

Meng Chong widened his eyes in surprise, "That guy, the Emperor of Wu Country, is so generous? I am so important in his eyes?"

Shi Er twitched his mouth. It was precisely because of you, Meng Chong, that the entire atmosphere of Wu Country was disrupted, causing the Emperor of Wu Country to be unable to go out and could only stay in the palace. How could he not hate you?

"Because of this, the martial world of Wu Country is preparing to hold a martial arts conference to elect the leader of the martial world. They plan to join forces to capture you and obtain the Emperor's reward."

"It is said that the Emperor of Wu Country has promised that as long as you are captured, the leader will be titled as the Marquis of the Martial World and be granted a county as a fief!"

Shi Er spoke and also sighed that Emperor Wu had spared no expense in capturing Meng Chong.

For the martial world of Wu Country, this was a great opportunity, a chance to usher in a new era for the martial world.

Now, the experts of the martial world in Wu Country had already gathered, ready to elect a leader and discuss capturing Meng Chong.

Li Xuan also sighed in his heart, wondering just how much Emperor Wu hated his second disciple.

If Meng Chong hadn't become his disciple and cultivated a powerful Martial Dao, he would inevitably be captured and meet a miserable end.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chong immediately became spirited and excitedly asked, "Where in Wu Country will the martial world conference be held? When will it take place?"

"In three days, at Tianping Mountain in Wu Country," Shi Er replied.

"Tianping Mountain?" Meng Chong became even more excited, rubbing his bald head and saying, "That guy Emperor Wu owes me 100,000 taels of gold, a 3,000-year-old mountain ginseng, ten precious medicines, a marquis title, and a fiefdom. I have to demand them from him."

Shi Er's face showed a strange expression as he silently mourned for Emperor Wu.

"I don't want the marquis title and fiefdom. I'll just choose some things from his palace treasury as compensation," Meng Chong continued.

Senior Brother had emptied Qi Emperor's treasury, and he was envious. Finally, it was his turn to empty Emperor Wu's treasury.

Upon hearing this, Shi Er thought of Xu Yan, who had emptied Qi Emperor's treasury.

"Master, I want to go to Wu Country," Meng Chong said, rubbing his head and grinning.

"If you want to go, then go," Li Xuan did not stop him.

With Meng Chong's current strength, just like Xu Yan back then, sweeping through Wu Country would be no problem.

Emperor Wu was destined to be unlucky.

"Yes, Master, I will be back soon," Meng Chong said excitedly.

"By the way, Master, is there anything you like? I'll ask Emperor Wu for it," Meng Chong thought for a moment and asked.

Li Xuan had a thought and said, "Then let's see if there are any books, like medical books, pharmacology books, miscellaneous records, etc. When you have free time, you can read them to pass the time."

"Understood, Master, I will definitely ask Emperor Wu for some rare books!" Meng Chong understood.

The books that Master wanted to read were naturally not the kind sold on the street.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Just be mindful of your limits."

Meng Chong grinned and said, "Master, rest assured, no matter what Emperor Wu says, he has helped me avenge myself. I won't make things difficult for him."

Taking his treasured sword, Meng Chong immediately prepared to go to Tianping Mountain, meet the martial experts of Wu Country, capture the leader of the martial world, and then go to Emperor Wu to claim his reward.

At this moment, Xu Yan spoke up, "Junior Brother, Tianping Mountain is quite far away. It's better to ride a horse. Although it's a bit slower, it's easier than running on your own two legs."

Meng Chong thought about it and said, "Then I'll have to thank Senior Brother."

He went to the stable and took a horse, excitedly heading towards Tianping Mountain.

"Master, should I have someone send some books?" Xu Yan looked at his Master, who was sitting in a chair, playing with a jade ruyi, and spoke up.

Almost forgot, Master was an extraordinary person who lived outside the world, almost reaching the level of Dao. The only pleasure left for him was probably teaching his disciples and reading books.

He felt a bit ashamed in his heart, "I was so focused on my own cultivation that I forgot about Master's preferences."
