Chapter 525: Interested? I'll Teach You
"Then everyone, look over here!" With a gentle hum, Lin Xiaotian's sharp voice entered everyone's ears.
"To become a martial artist, you first need to learn cultivation techniques. Right now, I can only teach the vigorous Yang cultivation methods, which means, ladies, you'll have to wait for a while."
That's right, Lin Xiaotian didn't have any cultivation techniques suitable for women.
So, he had to ruthlessly send the girls back first.
They would wait for Bai Lili to come over and then have her teach them.
"Ah! Brother Xiaotian, we can't learn?"
"Wuu! I want to learn too."
"Right, we want to learn now!"
Hearing that they couldn't start learning immediately, the girls all started pleading with a crying tone.
"Really, I can't do that. If you learn the vigorous Yang cultivation techniques, you might end up growing leg hair, an Adam's apple, and after a few years of training, even more masculine features might appear."
"Ah! We don't want that!"
"Right! We'll wait for Brother Xiaotian's wife to come back before we learn!"
"Quick, stay away from them, or else…"
Scared off by Lin Xiaotian like this, the girls from the village all ran away.
They were afraid that being near these males abundant in Yang energy might cause changes to their bodies.
Facing the frightened girls, Li Dazhuang, Xiao Hu, and many other young men couldn't stop laughing.
However, their attention was mostly on Lin Xiaotian—they were about to learn cultivation techniques!
To become martial artists! To enter a world beyond the realm of ordinary people!
"Before we start learning, let me talk about the human body's Eight Extraordinary Meridians. This is a bit complex, I'll only say it once, then you can go home and look it up online…."
While Lin Xiaotian was teaching, Xia Liu approached Rose, who was feeling down.
"What's wrong, do you also want to become a martial artist?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled.
"Of course, only by becoming strong can I earn your respect and possess the strength to protect myself," Rose said, her fists clenched with determination.
"Becoming strong also comes with many life-threatening risks…"
Xia Liu didn't finish his sentence—the risks could be immediate and deadly when following him…
"Even so, I still want to learn. Besides, even if I don't become a martial artist, I am still the Thousand Faces Rose from the Blood List. If I have high-level skills, I'll be more likely to safely get away when I face dangers in the future."
"Really? If you're interested, I'll teach you," Xia Liu nodded. Rose was right; even without being a martial artist, she was still a member of the Blood List.
Being on the list, who knows what kind of crises might arise in the future.
Rose was momentarily too shocked to react.
Xia Liu had just offered to personally instruct her!
"Ah! Is this for real?" Rose exclaimed sharply, instantly attracting all the surrounding attention.
Under everyone's gaze, Rose immediately lowered her head, her cheeks flushing.
"If those girls overhear this, then I might not have time to teach you," Xia Liu said as he walked toward the car.
"Not excited! Can't get excited!" Rose clenched her fists, reminding herself to not get too excited.
If her emotions led Xia Liu to change his mind, it would be a huge loss.
"What is this?" In the villa, Rose looked at a notebook in her hands, her mind full of confusion as she looked at Xia Liu.
This notebook had always been in her room.
She had seen it several times, just hadn't opened it yet.
Could it be that Xia Liu wanted her to write down some key points with a pen?
That must be it!
"This records a cultivation technique. Take a look and see if you can understand the content," Xia Liu said earnestly.
"My god, you're saying this notebook contains a cultivation technique!" Rose exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Xia Liu and then at the notebook.
She truly hadn't expected that the notebook on her bedside table would contain a cultivation technique!
A technique that could turn one into a martial artist!
This was absolutely mind-blowing.
It turned out that what she had always wanted was right over her head.
She had even been sleeping with it for the last few nights.
The plot seemed so thick that Rose needed to take several deep breaths to calm herself down.
Soon, a calmer Rose opened the notebook.
When she saw the first level of the Immeasurable Sword Art, she was immediately mesmerized.
Xia Liu quietly watched from the side, ready to answer any questions she might have.
However, Rose's performance greatly surprised Xia Liu.
About fifteen minutes later, she closed the notebook.
"Finished?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled.
"Finished," Rose confidently nodded.
"Understood it?"
"Didn't understand..."
"You didn't understand and yet you didn't continue reading?" Xia Liu nearly bit his own tongue, originally thinking that the girl had some innate talent.
It turned out she hadn't understood anything, probably none of it at all...
But she couldn't be blamed, after all, the girl's first encounter with the Immeasurable Sword Art was also perplexing.
And they even had to study together for several days.
If it weren't for Bai Lili's patient instruction, it would have taken the girls a long time to fully comprehend the technique.
"Tell me, what didn't you understand?" After some thought, Xia Liu reluctantly asked.
"Look, it says here, 'Spirit Gathering to One, the spirit travels the Governing Vessel to Shaofang, then through Yangmen into Tianshu,'" Rose pointed out the recorded content in the notebook.
"Hmm, you didn't understand this part, right?"
"I didn't understand the whole thing! The Huaxia warriors talk about generating energy from the Dantian, guiding it through the cultivation technique, generating internal energy, and then directing the energy through the meridians. But this technique doesn't seem to discuss how to generate internal energy for the warrior. Instead, it guides the practitioner to absorb some sort of external spirit, which must be a kind of power, right? Could it be the power of faith, or belief, or maybe incense offerings?"
Rose stared at Xia Liu, pouring out all her confusion.
Hearing Rose's words, Xia Liu was completely stunned.
This girl was incredibly sharp!
She had managed to understand the cultivation technique.
And she did so without any guidance, even pointing out the differences from the warrior techniques.
Should he offer her a spot as a genius?
"Great God, is there something on my face? You've been staring for so long?" Seeing Xia Liu zoned out, Rose joked.
If it had been before today, she definitely would have moved closer to him.
But now, she was totally captivated by the cultivation technique, having no interest in thinking about anything else.
She just wanted Xia Liu to quickly clarify her doubts.
"Ahem, let me explain. This particular technique is not a warrior's cultivation technique," Xia Liu explained, clearing his throat.
"Then what is this technique? Don't tell me it's a divine Immortal Law that ordinary people can practice to become immortals?" Rose teased.
"Immortals, I don't know about that, but I can tell you, this is a Cultivator's Technique."
"Cultivator's Technique???"
