The bag only contained a small booklet and two Spirit Crystals, and nothing else.

Li Xuan’s face was filled with disappointment.

Xue Wuxin was a pauper indeed.

He couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “You’re a demon cultivator, aren’t you? Isn’t it normal for you to kill people and seize their treasures? You’re fleeing to the Border Wilderness, so why didn’t you gather some treasures to use here?

“You’re truly useless, scattering your ashes, wouldn’t be unjust in the least!”

He looked at the bag again, finding it to be just an ordinary one, not something like a storage bag.

He casually tossed it aside.

“I wonder if there are such things as storage bags in the Inner Realm.”

He sighed inwardly; should he find a disciple with a talent for Artifact Refining and craft a set of methods for them, letting them comprehend them and refine items such as storage bags?

“I’m not skilled in Artifact Refining either; creating from scratch would be rather difficult. It seems I’ll need to head to the Inner Realm to find some Artifact Refining techniques to reference for perfection.

“Only in the Inner Realm could such a prodigy in Artifact Refining possibly exist, right?”

Li Xuan pondered to himself.

Nonetheless, refining artifacts ultimately does not strengthen oneself, so it wasn’t urgent. He decided to wait until he might find such a prodigy later on.

He stored the Spirit Crystals away.

He then turned his attention to the blood-red booklet.

As he flipped it open, four characters caught his eye.

“Blood Demon Scripture!”

At a glance, it was clearly a demonic cultivation technique.

However, Li Xuan was unconcerned; he wasn’t planning to cultivate these techniques but to reference them in order to understand the Martial Arts of the Inner Realm.

“Is this actually an incomplete scripture?”

Li Xuan was surprised.

The Blood Demon Scripture was incomplete, with parts missing, leaving only fragments.

And yet, even as fragments, they had allowed Xue Wuxin to cultivate to the Grandmaster realm, and even advance towards the Great Grandmaster realm.

Thus, could the complete Blood Demon Scripture allow for cultivation beyond the Great Grandmaster?

Li Xuan flipped through the Blood Demon Scripture, which indeed was a demonic cultivation technique, primarily focused on devouring and refining essence blood to strengthen oneself.

The purer and more vigorous the essence blood, the greater the enhancement obtained.

This also explained why Xue Wuxin had targeted Meng Chong.

The scripture also recorded a special secret technique, the Blood-Eating Ghost Threads, used to devour essence blood.

“There are some tricks to it.”

Li Xuan marveled at what he read; the Blood Demon Scripture gave him some inspiration.

For instance, the technique of devouring essence blood and the Blood-Eating Ghost Threads.

Naturally, he would not create a technique that devours essence blood, but he could reference it to design more exquisite and righteous cultivation techniques.

“A new Martial Arts system is almost taking shape.”

After going through the Blood Demon Scripture, Li Xuan had some ideas.

Beyond the Physical Body Martial Path, there was now a new system of Martial Arts cultivation, although still imperfect and just a concept at the moment.

Besides, he needed to find the right person for enlightenment.

“The Blood Demon Scripture, in the Inner Realm, is considered a powerful demonic cultivation technique. Xue Wuxin was not weak among the Grandmasters… However, the Blood Demon Scripture, being a yin and sinister technique, is indeed vulnerable to Qi-blood suppression.”

The Qi-Blood Realm burns fiercely like fire, perfectly countering the yin and sinister nature of the Blood Demon Scripture.

If at the same level of cultivation, a Martial Artist practicing the Blood Demon Scripture would be suppressed at every turn.

“However, Qi-blood also holds a great temptation for them.”

Why did Xue Wuxin crave Meng Chong’s essence blood?

Why did he desire Xu Yan’s essence blood? It was precisely because of this.

The essence blood of Martial Artists in the Qi-Blood Realm is more vigorous and pure than those in the Inner Realm, making it like a great elixir for those who cultivate the Blood Demon Scripture!

Having looked over the Blood Demon Scripture, Li Xuan remembered its contents down to the last word.

With a thought, the Blood Demon Scripture turned to dust and disappeared.

This demonic cultivation technique certainly couldn’t be left behind; what if he became careless one day, or forgot about it after leaving, and someone else picked it up? That could potentially give rise to a new demon cultivator.

Although the Border Wilderness couldn’t produce Martial Artists, by devouring essence blood with the Blood Demon Scripture, strength could still be increased.

Of course, due to the diminished Heavenly Earth Lingji, one couldn’t break through limits in the Border Wilderness, but it would still be possible to reach the power level of fifth or sixth grade Martial Artists from the Inner Realm.

Such an outcome would certainly not be beneficial for the Border Wilderness.

Having memorized the technique, it was certainly more reassuring to destroy it.

…

In the hills outside Yunshan County City.

Li Xuan stood with one hand behind his back, gazing into the distant sky.

Xu Yan stood respectfully behind him with a Precious Sword in hand.

“Disciple, remember, I only impart the Dao, not techniques, so what I’m passing on is the Sword Dao, not Swordsmanship…”

Li Xuan plucked a twig from a tree and said solemnly, “As I’ve repeatedly stressed, cultivation is about enlightenment, about comprehending the true meaning. The same goes for Sword Dao. Watch closely now.”

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan was excited.

Li Xuan pointed out with the twig in his hand, and *whoosh*, a burst of True Qi shot out, creating a hole in a large tree.

Xu Yan’s eyes widened with shock: “Master’s Sword Dao… no, his Swordsmanship is indeed powerful, holding a mere twig and making such a powerful strike, far stronger than Xue Wuxin’s blade energy.”

After testing the feel of the twig, Li Xuan began to swing it around, with Innate True Qi enhancing the twig, making it appear extraordinarily sharp, though he was just making random movements.

It was only because of his incredibly powerful Innate True Qi that it seemed so forceful.

Of course, his random motions weren’t entirely without form; there were standard sword moves like slashing, stabbing, flicking, cutting across, and wiping that he performed convincingly.

After a series of movements, Li Xuan put the twig away and asked with a deep voice, “Disciple, have you memorized everything?”
