117: Aoki Body Shaping Technique

Red Pine Sect.

Recently, another piece of gossip about Liu Xuan spread within the Sect: Lin Yuanshuang, a Genius female Cultivator from the Spell Hall, had her deacon status revoked because of Liu Xuan, and her father, Lin Ruhai, was forced to step down as Family Head, directly replacing the main lineage.

The incident began when several other female Cultivators from the Spell Hall teased Lin Yuanshuang, saying that while she appeared aloof, she was actually Liu Xuan's Dao Companion, making her a hypocrite!

Liu Xuan's reputation was glorious among the bottom-tier Outer Sect Disciples, but in the circles of various Family Geniuses, a large portion of people felt disgusted by him.

If he weren't Ancestor Qingyun's Personal Disciple, and highly valued by the Old Ancestor, there would likely be many looking to cause trouble for him.

Lin Yuanshuang, being proud and arrogant, couldn't tolerate such slander and immediately retorted.

The female Cultivator who dared to tease Lin Yuanshuang to her face was no ordinary person either; she was also a Disciple from a Foundation Establishment Family within the Sect.

She dared to speak this way because she naturally had proof, so she brought up the matter of Ancestor Qingyun's arranged marriage.

This matter was not a secret; most of the Lin Family knew, Liu Xuan's female Concubines knew, and many people in the Talisman Hall also knew.

Lin Yuanshuang couldn't refute it, and in a fit of anger, she revealed her true relationship with Liu Xuan.

This was rather foolish; who would believe it once it was said?

Liu Xuan's lecherous nature was widely acknowledged, and since the two were already Dao Companions, it was legitimate; no one would believe Liu Xuan wouldn't touch her.

The more Lin Yuanshuang refuted, the more ridicule and mockery she attracted.

The more everyone spoke this way, the more Lin Yuanshuang couldn't bear it, and in her agitation, she directly attacked the leading female Cultivator.

The female Cultivator immediately dodged, was not injured, but was startled, and instantly flared up.

Lin Yuanshuang actually dared to attack and injure someone within the Sect; were there no Sect rules anymore?

She couldn't defeat Lin Yuanshuang, so she invited the elders in the hall to punish her for violating the Sect's prohibition.

The matter escalated, and eventually, the elders from both sides of the Spell Hall had to intervene together to quell the farce.

The farce subsided, but the commotion it caused did not stop; a quarrel between several female Cultivators also involved the prominent figure Liu Xuan, and there were many onlookers.

The rumors spread wider and became more outrageous. Some said Liu Xuan took a fancy to Lin Yuanshuang, so he asked the Old Ancestor to arrange their marriage, forcing Lin Yuanshuang to marry him.

Some said Liu Xuan, relying on Ancestor Qingyun's favor, acted recklessly, and any female Cultivator he fancied, he would go to great lengths to obtain... The matter somehow reached the Nameless Daoist Temple and Ancestor Qingyun's ears.

The Old Ancestor was furious and immediately sent Lin Ruhai to explain exactly what happened. Lin Ruhai dared not conceal anything and recounted all the details truthfully.

The next day.

With a single word from Ancestor Qingyun, the Lin Family Head was replaced, and dozens of people from his lineage were removed from their positions, becoming ordinary clan members.

The Lin Family had more than just Lin Ruhai as a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator; after his removal, a clan elder immediately took over.

Lin Yuanshuang lost her position in the Spell Hall, and her Family stipend was canceled. Furthermore, she had offended a group of clan members who suffered misfortune because of this incident, making it difficult for her to even maintain her daily expenses.

She was quite resolute, directly refusing her father's plea to Liu Xuan for intercession, and instead accepted an outdoor mission from the Spell Hall, heading out to explore.

Isn't it just a lack of Family support? She refused to believe she couldn't carve out her own path!

If she could Breakthrough to Qi Refining Late Stage before the age of forty and become a Core Disciple, even the Old Ancestor might regret his decision... Talisman Master's Small Courtyard.

Liu Xuan also learned some details about Lin Yuanshuang's situation from Lin Yiyi. He had nothing to say about it; who could be blamed? They could only blame their own bad luck.

Liu Xuan's Breakthrough to Qi Refining Fifth Layer was not made public, but Ancestor Qingyun had long since noticed.

The value of the 'Stud Spirit Body' continued to rise. In Ancestor Qingyun's eyes, Liu Xuan had a great chance to reach Qi Refining Great Perfection before the age of sixty and become a Foundation Establishment seed to Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Ancestor Qingyun's Lifespan still had over thirty years remaining, and those few Qi Refining Perfection Cultivators in the Lin Family had already exhausted their potential, making a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment basically impossible.

When his time came, the Lin Family definitely wouldn't be able to retain their Family property. If the Family Head was sensible, he might still cling to a precarious existence, but if he still wanted to occupy territory and industries, being exterminated would be normal.

Lin Qingyun's Cultivation was Mid-stage Foundation Establishment; he would never be able to Breakthrough to Golden Core in this life. His only hope was the Lin Family.

Therefore, Liu Xuan was not only his Personal Disciple but also a reliance he found for the Lin Family after his death.

If Liu Xuan could Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment at sixty, it would perfectly align with his demise.

Liu Xuan came from an ordinary background; it would take at least several decades to a hundred years to develop his own Family. This period was the Lin Family's opportunity; if they could produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Family could continue.

If no one could Breakthrough, clinging to Liu Xuan, this great tree, would still allow them to live better.

Lin Yuanshuang and Lin Ruhai happened to run into trouble. How could he trust such an ignorant person who couldn't see the situation to be the Family Head?

On the other hand, Liu Xuan had not acted recklessly despite his favor. He even helped conceal Lin Ruhai's unreasonable demands and had no thoughts detrimental to the Lin Family. He was indeed a grateful person.

Ancestor Qingyun did not continue to arrange marriages for Liu Xuan but instead directly sent someone to deliver a Talisman Shop in the city to Lin Yiyi's son, Liu Daohang.

The shop was not far from Lin Anqi's Talisman Shop, but its scale was larger, roughly twice its size.

Lin Xue'er's sons, Liu Daoyuan and Dao Ping, and Lin Anqi's son, Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng, also received gifts, each worth no less than one hundred Spirit Stones.

After the storm, everyone gained a new understanding of Ancestor Qingyun's high regard for Liu Xuan, and it became a consensus that it was best not to provoke him.

While the outside world was in an uproar, Liu Xuan paid no attention. Inside his Cultivation chamber, he was writing furiously.

"Finally finished!"

Picking up the organized draft, Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

At the top of the booklet were several elegant characters: 'Green Wood Body Sculpting Art'

This was a Martial Dao Cultivation Technique created by Liu Xuan based on the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Method, combined with Martial Dao and the Green Wood Longevity Art.

The Cultivation Technique was divided into four stages: a basic section suitable for children aged five or six for Body Sculpting; a bone and tendon section for refining bones and tendons; an internal Qi section for generating internal Qi; and an Innate section for refining Innate Qi.

Compared to normal Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques, the Green Wood Body Sculpting Art included an additional basic Body Sculpting section for children.

Children's bodies are fragile and still developing, and practicing martial arts can easily cause injury. Generally, Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques are not introduced until at least thirteen years of age, otherwise, it can be counterproductive and damage the Foundation.

The basic section of the Green Wood Body Sculpting Art isn't really martial arts practice; it's more like calisthenics, merely a training method to aid development and growth.

The Cultivation Technique did not include the section for Breakthrough from Innate Perfection to Qi Refining Late Stage. Liu Xuan planned to personally teach it to his children once they reached this Realm.

The Breakthrough from the Green Wood Body Sculpting Art to Qi Refining Late Stage was not merely a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Late Stage; it also involved a Breakthrough to Body Refining Late Stage, which encompassed the entry-level of the True Immortal Cultivation Technique, the Swallowing Heaven Body Refining Art.

On the surface, this appeared to be a Martial Dao Cultivation Technique, but in reality, it was a top-tier Cultivation Technique that combined Body Refining and Dual Cultivation.

'It's just a bit difficult. I wonder how many of my many children will be able to Cultivate to Perfection!'
