“If the enemy has strong backing or powerful supporters behind them, stay low-key. Look for an opportunity to silently eliminate them, leaving no trace or evidence. Or you can wait until you become stronger, then strike like thunder and annihilate them along with their backers.”

“Newcomers to the martial arts world are like fledgling birds entering the forest; you must maintain a low profile, be cautious. If necessary, conceal your real identity…”

Li Xuan had a serious and instructive look on his face as he lectured his disciples.

He shared all the experiences of heroes wandering the world from novels he had read in his previous life with his disciples.

Su Lingxiu, a refugee from the Inner Domain, listened intently, intoxicated by her master’s rich experiences in the martial arts world.

Zhou Ying kept sighing in amazement, Li Xuan was indeed a wise man who had been through countless hardships and dangers. These were all precious experiences.

Before this, she considered her own survival experiences in the martial arts world to be quite rich. But when compared to this wise man, she seemed lacking.

After passing on his experiences, Li Xuan added, “Experiences are static, but people are dynamic. Things in the world are always changing. You must learn to adapt and be flexible. This is the real experience of the martial arts world.” “Don’t rigidly follow the teachings I’ve given you. They are only for reference. You must learn to adapt. Do you understand?”

Li Xuan was worried his disciples wouldn’t understand flexibility and would follow his teachings without deviation. What if they clash with Inner Realm Martial Arts, wouldn’t they stick out like a sore thumb?

Wouldn’t that lead to unnecessary trouble?

So he had to remind his disciples that his teachings were just a reference. The real experience of navigating the martial arts world revolves around adapting and being flexible!

“Yes, your disciples understand!”

Xu Yan replied respectfully.

“Hmm.”

Li Xuan nodded, he was relatively confident in Xu Yan.

Already possessing the strength of a Grandmaster, even if he encountered a Great Grandmaster, even if he could not fight, he could still escape.

“The Inner Domain Martial Arts are varied. Don’t be arrogant or look down on Inner Domain Martial Arts just because you have mastered the martial arts I taught. You should observe and learn more, draw inferences from one instance, extract their essence, and comprehend their true meanings.”

“I hope you will incorporate all paths into your own, and forge your own martial path.”

“Rather than following in my footsteps, walking the path 1 have walked.”

Li Xuan spoke again with a heavy voice.

Xu Yan respectfully bowed. In his heart, he thought that this was the mark of a true teacher!

He doesn’t want his disciples to rigidly follow the path he has taken, but rather, to think independently, to forge their own path.

“As your teacher, 1 hope that one day, you can form your own path and surpass me. 1 will be truly proud when you exceed me.”

Li Xuan was brimming with expectation for his disciples.

“My disciples, broaden your horizons, create more martial arts techniques for me. As for surpassing me, don’t hold your breath. I’m only trying to spur you on.”

That’s what Li Xuan was thinking.

“Yes, Master, we will not let you down!”

There was a gleam in Xu Yan’s and the other two’s eyes. Their master was great – his lifelong wish was to have his students surpass him and create a new path.

From this, they could infer how high their master’s realm was. It was beyond imagination. Had he already reached the end of martial arts?

No!

That’s impossible. Their master had said it before – the Martial Path is endless.

After finishing his instructive session, Li Xuan stopped speaking. He let the three disciples of Xu Yan gather together. Su Lingxiu had some information about the Inner Domain to share with her senior brother.

“Junior sister, introduce me to the spiritual medicines. When 1 go to the Inner Domain, I will bring some back for you!”

Xu Yan said excitedly.

One of his goals for going to the Inner Domain was to obtain spiritual medicine.

To refine an elixir to preserve their youth, as well as various pills for their parents to practice.

Before going to the Inner Domain, he needed to be prepared.

Meng Chong was also excited, as he would soon be going to the Inner Domain. One of his goals was naturally to find spiritual medicines for his junior sister. Moreover, the elixir refined from spiritual medicine was the real elixir!

Shi’er was squatting off to the side, with Red Cat lying next to him.

Both listened carefully.

Su Lingxiu was also very pleased. If Li Xuan could bring back spiritual medicine, she could refine more elixirs, and her alchemy techniques could improve even further.

“Senior brother, let me introduce you to spiritual medicines. According to ancient lore, spiritual medicines are divided into nine grades. For example, this Water Ling Herb is a ninth grade spiritual medicine, which is the lowest level. However, its survival environment requirements are not high, so it is quite common and also inexpensive…”

Spiritual medicines are divided into nine grades, with the highest being grade one. However, there are no grade one spiritual medicines in the Inner Domain.

“So far, the highest grade of spiritual medicine in the Inner Domain is grade six. There has been no record of spiritual medicines above grade six, whether they exist or not, I do not know.”

Xu Yan asked in confusion, “Since there are no grade one spiritual medicines in the Inner Domain, how do you know they exist?”

Meng Chong nodded in agreement.

“This classification has been in use since ancient times, it is most likely true and may not necessarily be non-existent. They are just exceedingly rare. If someone found one, they wouldn’t advertise it for fear of bringing disaster, let alone sell it.”

Su Lingxiu postulated after some thought.

“I see.”

Xu Yan had an epiphany.

“Currently in the Inner Domain, grade six spiritual medicine is nearly the highest grade available, it’s almost impossible to find…”

Su Lingxiu continued her introduction.

“Senior brother, when you get to the Inner Domain, the most convenient way to get spiritual medicine, besides trading with people or searching for it yourself, is to buy from the Tianbao Pavilion.”

“Tianbao Pavilion is a major power in the Inner Domain, there is a Tianbao Pavilion branch in every city…”

Su Lingxiu was introducing Tianbao Pavilion.

Tianbao Pavilion is a merchant alliance in the Inner Domain, no one knows its exact depth or strength. There are rumours that the Tianbao Pavilion has a Lingshan in some mysterious place and masters the technique of planting spiritual medicines.

Besides, Tianbao Pavilion has the ability to explore Spirit Crystal mines. It controls a vast amount of Spirit Crystal mines and is the first merchant force in the Inner Domain.

Every city branch is presided over by a Grandmaster Martial Artist.

“Tianbao Pavilion has an excellent reputation; there have never been reports of shady dealings. Also, the Tianbao Pavilion purchases numerous treasures such as spiritual medicines, martial arts cultivation techniques, Spirit Crystals, etc., and all of these can be obtained from the Tianbao Pavilion.”

“If you have a lot of Spirit Crystals and are afraid of storing them at home, you can deposit them at Tianbao Pavilion. Despite the security fee charged by Tianbao Pavilion, it is considered safe.”

“Spirit notes, or Spirit Crystal vouchers, are also circulated in the Inner Domain. They were introduced by the Tianbao Pavilion. Martial artists only need to carry these vouchers, avoiding the need to carry a large number of Spirit Crystals.”

“Spirit notes can be redeemed for an equivalent amount of Spirit Crystals at any Tianbao Pavilion branch in any city in the Inner Domain…”

Su Lingxiu gave a detailed introduction of Tianbao Pavilion.

Any Inner Domain martial artist inevitably has dealings with the Tianbao Pavilion.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were fascinated. The Inner Domain is so prosperous, and there even exists a merchant force like the Tianbao Pavilion.

The Borderlands were indeed desolate in comparison, and it was not without reason.

Li Xuan also listened quietly, marvelling in his heart at how powerful the Tianbao Pavilion was, even minting their versions of banknotes – the Spirit notes, and offering services similar to a bank’s, storing Spirit Crystals for people.

Of course, unlike banks that give account holders interest, the Tianbao Pavilion charges a storage fee.

“Senior brother, if you wish to conveniently obtain spiritual medicines and various treasures, you can go to the Tianbao Pavilion. They have everything a martial artist needs, but you must be able to pay their prices.”

“Of course, there are also some other shops in the Inner Domain, but they are nowhere near comparable to the Tianbao Pavilion. These shops might indulge in underhand dealings, and although some treasures might be cheaper than those in the Tianbao Pavilion, you must be extra careful.”

Su Lingxiu continued her introduction.

“Senior brother, when you first go to the Inner Domain, it’s best to avoid small shops. It is wise to choose the Tianbao Pavilion first because it has a good reputation, they don’t cheat customers.”

Su Lingxiu felt that Li Xuan was penniless upon reaching the Inner Domain.

Maybe he should take some elixirs to sell to the Tianbao Pavilion in exchange for Spirit Crystals, or directly exchange them for spiritual medicines.

At this moment, Li Xuan interjected, “Every organization has its shady side. Regardless of how good their reputation is, it could simply be that there hasn’t been a treasure worth their while.”

“Even if they had taken part in shady dealings, as long as they clean up thoroughly and leave no traces, it would naturally not affect their reputation.”

Su Lingxiu was startled, “Master is right. If senior brother brings the Elixirs to sell in the Inner Domain, the value is immeasurable. What if they tempt Tianbao Pavilion?”

With this thought, she dropped the idea of giving Li Xuan elixirs to exchange for spiritual medicine..
