I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Chapter 219: The Way of Concealment and Invisibility_2
 

Looking at the feedback from the Daoist Golden Book, Li Xuan was somewhat surprised.

The completion level of the cultivation technique was high?

“And its light, the same as its dust?” Li Xuan pondered thoughtfully.

And the difficulty of cultivation was also high.

The difficulty of comprehension had directly reached the highest rating, extremely high!

Li Xuan was not surprised by this, given that it was too profound, so the difficulty of comprehension was naturally extremely high.

But he had confidence in Xu Yan.

“I’ll create another technique for concealing breath,” Li Xuan thought. “Xu Yan and the others won’t need it, but Shi’er and the rest might find it useful, especially since this path of concealing and stealth shape, even if Xu Yan does comprehend it, the difficulty of cultivation will still be very high.

“Shi’er and the others, I’m afraid, probably won’t be able to cultivate it.”

With this thought in mind, Li Xuan began wracking his brain to create a technique for concealing breath and stealth shape.

Creating a technique for concealing breath was not too difficult for Li Xuan now.

Of course, the technique he created wouldn’t be of a very high level, but it would be sufficient for Shi’er and the others.

With his complete control over the Qi-Blood Realm and the Innate Realm’s True Qi, knowing how to restrain breath, and how to create an easy technique had become foundational.

“Although it’s somewhat lacking, it’s still a technique for concealing breath,” Li Xuan said. “If they cannot cultivate the path of concealing breath that Xu Yan has comprehended, cultivating this technique will be enough.”

Li Xuan looked at the feedback from the Daoist Golden Book.

Breath Concealing Technique:

Completion level of the cultivation technique: High.

Difficulty of cultivation: Low.

Difficulty of comprehension: Medium.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, holding onto the technique for the time being without immediately transmitting it.

If Xu Yan still hadn’t comprehended it after a long time, he could pass this technique of concealing breath to him; with Xu Yan’s talent, he would be able to master it at a glance.

“The Qimen Martial Art is temporarily completed; now it’s time to find someone suitable to comprehend it.”

Li Xuan looked at the Qimen Martial Art he had created.

Qimen Martial Art:

Completion level of the cultivation technique: Above average.

Difficulty of cultivation: High.

Difficulty of comprehension: High.

The feedback from the Daoist Golden Book indicated that the completion level of the technique was just above average, with neither cultivation nor comprehension difficulty being low.

This was within Li Xuan’s expectations.

After all, Qimen Martial Art involves artifact refining, formations and strategies, prohibitions, and more; it encompasses quite a lot, and the talent required for cultivators is naturally quite high.

Moreover, the emphasis on talent is very important.

This also meant that Qimen Martial Art, unlike pure martial arts and physical body martial arts, could not be widely spread.

The talent required to cultivate Qimen Martial Art is relatively niche in itself.

Of course, if you break down the entire Qimen Martial Art and practice just one part of it, the talent requirement becomes much lower, but this also significantly reduces strength.

Moreover, before one can cultivate part of it separately, someone needs to comprehend the entire Qimen Martial Art so that parts like artifact refining or formations can be learned independently.

Otherwise, it is all just idle chatter.

“Finding a disciple is difficult,” Li Xuan mused. “Those with such talent may not necessarily encounter it just so; thus, other methods must be devised for initial screening.”

Now that the Qimen Martial Art had been created, naturally, a disciple had to be found to cultivate it.

“One of the cores of Qimen Martial Art is formations and strategies, if there are those with such talent, they naturally possess the conditions for comprehension,” Li Xuan continued to think. “There are no formations in the Inner Domain.

“In the northern part of Canglan, natural Great Formations have formed due to the leaking of Domain Laws.

“Therefore, if someone can comprehend a Formation Diagram, it means they have the talent to cultivate Qimen Martial Art.”

Li Xuan suddenly had an idea.

He picked one of the Formation Diagrams he had created, one that was relatively simple and had a lower difficulty of comprehension.

“By transmitting this Formation Diagram, whoever can comprehend it will gain an opportunity!”

He didn’t necessarily need to look for disciples personally.

And geniuses with extraordinary talent might not always be encountered.

It might be better to release a Formation Diagram, as comprehension by someone could indicate their talent, and after passing the test, they could be accepted as a disciple and taught the secrets of Qimen Martial Art.

He thought to himself, “The complete Formation Diagram is, after all, too difficult to comprehend; I’ll only draw one-third of it. If one cannot even comprehend one-third and can’t figure anything out from it, then comprehending the complete Formation Diagram is even more unlikely.”

Li Xuan had an idea.

So he took a piece of paper and drew one-third of the simplest Formation Diagram.

The Formation Diagram appeared intricate, like a strange terrain with secret meanings, both trap-like and not, complex and mystical.

“Shi’er.”

After finishing the drawing, Li Xuan called out.

“Master, what are your orders?”

Shi’er ran over excitedly.

He finally had his own task, and with the master’s task, Red Cat wouldn’t dare to hassle him during this time.

“Have this pattern copied, then send it to the Great Wilderness, to the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Academy, whoever comprehends it will find an opportunity.”

Li Xuan handed the Formation Diagram to Shi’er.

“Yes, Master!”

A tremor went through Shi’er’s heart. Whoever comprehends it will find an opportunity?

He looked at the Formation Diagram, staring intently, examining every single line in great detail.

After a while, he lifted his head, his face full of confusion.

At first glance, it all seemed so mystical; upon another look, the pattern was a bit disjoint, seemingly chaotic.

After looking at it for a while longer, he completely failed to memorize the pattern.

Shi’er’s face colored with shame: “My talent is too poor; I don’t understand it at all!”

Taking the Formation Diagram, he went to find someone to make copies and send them to the Great Wilderness and the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Academy.

Red Cat came running over.

“Red Cat, do you understand it? If you do, Master will grant you a great opportunity; you must not miss it. I hope you appreciate my sincere efforts.”

Red Cat glanced at him doubtfully. Was Shi’er really this kind-hearted?

In his mind, he recalled being whipped with a big lash, told it was for his own good…

Looking at the Formation Diagram in Shi’er’s hands, Red Cat became confounded.

“How about it? It’s quite mystical, isn’t it? This could be a great opportunity. If you penetrate it, it will be incredible!”

Shi’er encouraged Red Cat to memorize the diagram and spend more time pondering it.

As long as Red Cat’s mind was filled with thoughts of comprehending this pattern, he would have no desire to bother him.

After the Formation Diagram was copied, Shi’er instructed someone to deliver it to the Great Wilderness and the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Academy. This was a great opportunity indeed.

Of course, he did not reveal that this was a diagram sent by a predecessor from Canglan Island.

He just told someone to pass the word that understanding it would lead to a great opportunity, a chance to reach the skies in one step.

If someone managed to comprehend it, they could send a message back.

Li Xuan, having drawn and sent out the Formation Diagram for others to ponder, could only wait for news.

Comprehending this one-third of the Formation Diagram was just the first hurdle. There would be further tests to pass before one could become his disciple and be considered his fourth pupil.

“I wonder if there are any cultivators in the Inner Domain with the talent for Qimen Martial Arts.”

Li Xuan sighed.

If none were found in the Inner Domain, he would have to pin his hopes on the Spiritual Realm.

Looking at Xu Yan, who was contemplating the Dao of Invisibility and Stealth, Li Xuan was filled with anticipation for Xu Yan to comprehend it.

Time passed day by day.

Li Xuan watched as the number of divine shadows increased, signifying that the numbers of Great Wilderness Martial Artists in the Inner Domain were growing.

The rate at which the thousand divine shadows increased was getting faster.

“We’re not far from the ten thousand divine shadows,” he said.

…

Shui Xing Palace.

Tang Jinyan’s face flushed with anger, as she said indignantly, “Jiao Ming has left and has not returned for so long, and Ping’er has been gone for such a time without any word back.

“What are they doing in that lower land?”

She couldn’t help but feel angry; they were completely disregarding her assigned task.

The maid hesitated before saying, “Miss, Jiao Ming is usually very efficient in handling matters. This time, his delay in returning might be because something in the Inner Domain has caught his attention?

“Or perhaps, he has encountered danger?”

Tang Jinyan let out a cold laugh and said, “Danger? In that lower land, what could possibly threaten him, the Little Celestial being? And what about Ping’er? Why hasn’t she returned either?”

The maid replied helplessly, “I didn’t finish speaking when Ping’er left for the Inner Domain; we don’t even know who she was supposed to catch. Maybe she hasn’t found Jiao Ming yet?

“However, Ping’er likes to wander. Perhaps a handsome man in the Inner Domain has attracted her, which is why she has not returned.”

Seeing her mistress get extremely angry, the maid spoke softly, “Miss, should we ask Grandma Jing to visit the Inner Domain?”

Grandma Jing was a powerful Little Celestial being in the Combined Spirit Realm.

Tang Jinyan took a deep breath to calm her rage and then shook her head, “If Grandma Jing goes, it will be too conspicuous. Let’s wait for now. When Jiao Ming and Ping’er return, they must be severely punished; otherwise, do they even respect me?”

“Yes, Miss.”

The maid nodded in agreement.
