454: Chapter 454 Someone is coming

'I'm a bit too eager for quick success!'

Five Elements Fusion was simple for Liu Xuan, but for his descendants who had just begun to Cultivate, it was like reading a heavenly scripture.

Even a pure, single Five Elements Cultivation Technique required talent to comprehend, let alone the Five Elements Perfection Fusion method?

Adjusting his mindset, Liu Xuan no longer forcefully instructed his children. Instead, he reorganized the most basic Martial Dao Body Sculpting Art into the Fusion Body Sculpting Art.

This method allowed children to experience the Five Elements through the Martial Dao from a young age. Its focus was not on teaching every descendant the Minor Five Elements Fusion Method, but on selection.

Descendants with Five Elements Fusion talent would show it when Cultivating the Body Sculpting Art, and could then be nurtured. Those without talent would not be affected in their subsequent Cultivation of a single Five Elements Qi Refining method.

The basic Body Sculpting Art was even simpler for Liu Xuan. With his superior perspective, he completed it in a few hours.

Once the Fusion Body Sculpting Art was complete, Liu Xuan immediately gave it to his older sister, Liu Miao, for her to distribute to the Family academy.

After the Red Pine Sect relocated, the Great Sun City Family academy expanded, with half of the Liu Family's territory now belonging to the academy.

The Family academy was divided into the Core Courtyard, the Ordinary Courtyard, and the Secondary Courtyard. Those whose comprehensive talent ranked in the top 20% could enter the Core Courtyard. The Ordinary Courtyard was open to all of Liu Xuan's children.

The Secondary Courtyard currently had very few members, mainly Liu Xuan's grandchildren, and the treatment was relatively poorer. Those in the Secondary Courtyard whose comprehensive ranking surpassed 50% of the Ordinary Courtyard could enter the Ordinary Courtyard.

Liu Xuan had nearly 600 descendants. Liu Miao was the Dean of the Family Academy, while older siblings like Lingxiu, Ling Yun, and Dao Yong had become teachers.

The Liu Family had its own system, equivalent to a Family-style Sect. The Family academy's Scripture Imparting Hall was also staffed by Liu Xuan's women and Family members like Dao Yong and Lingxiu.

On one hand, the Liu Family was unique, and its secrets were not convenient for outsiders to know. On the other hand, the Liu Family had its own Legacy and did not need to invite others to teach.

"Auntie, auntie, can we rest for a while before studying? I'm hungry!"

When Liu Xuan arrived at the 'Qingjing Building,' the office building of the Liu Clan School Dean, his sister Liu Miao was teaching a child to read from a booklet.

"Auntie, auntie, I know all these words now. I don't want to study literature; I want to learn martial arts!"

The child was distracted, his eyes occasionally glancing out the window, envying his companions practicing martial arts outside.

Suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar figure entering the doorway, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Dad?"

Liu Xuan was stunned. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this Tong Xiao, his son born a month ago? He had grown so much in a few days that Liu Xuan almost didn't recognize him!

He could speak fluently at just one month old—truly worthy of a High-grade Yao Race Bloodline!

Liu Miao's face lit up with joy when she saw her younger brother Liu Xuan appear. She quickly walked to Liu Xuan's side and pointed at Tong Xiao, saying, "Little brother, I only know how to teach ordinary children. Your son's talent is too high; I'm afraid I'll hinder his future. You should take him back and teach him yourself!"

Liu Tongxiao was born with Qi Refining Yao Beast cultivation. He learned characters and culture extremely quickly, being able to communicate daily without hindrance in less than a month, and even recognized most common characters.

Liu Miao had taught children for so many years and had never seen anything so outrageous.

Liu Xuan patted his sister's shoulder to comfort her, "Sister, just teach him. If he doesn't listen, hit him!"

He pointed at Tong Xiao and said, "This kid has a Yao Race Bloodline. Cultivation is much simpler for him than for ordinary children. You mainly need to teach him some principles of how to conduct himself in the world."

Tong Xiao, with his Sixth-rank top-tier Kunpeng Bloodline, naturally comprehended the Law of Wind. He would advance when he reached the appropriate age, so he didn't need to learn Cultivation Techniques in the early stages.

Liu Xuan planned for him to first study cultural knowledge with his sister Liu Miao. Once his worldview was established, he would personally teach him the True Dragon Fate Reversal Scripture to make him even stronger.

There was also the Kunpeng Body Refining Method and the Great Five Elements Hunyuan Method. If he had the talent, he could also Cultivate them; after all, he would be idle otherwise.

"But..." Liu Miao wanted to say something more, but Tong Xiao's small face beside her looked dejected, and he whimpered, "Auntie, don't you want me anymore?"

Since his birth, Tong Xiao had spent most of his time being taught by his aunt, Liu Miao. Although his aunt was a bit strict, he could feel that it was all for his own good.

In his opinion, his mother Yun Yao and father Liu Xuan were completely unreliable, often nowhere to be found.

"See, the child likes you. Please, sister, take more care of him."

Liu Xuan took out the Fusion Body Sculpting Art for his sister to popularize in the Family academy, then, without giving her a chance to say more, a flash of Escape Light, and he vanished.

...

Three months later.

A magnificent Flying Boat arrived from the north, appearing over Great Sun City. This Flying Boat resembled a multi-storied ship, with upturned eaves and corners, and wind chimes hanging. From its style, it did not look like a battlefield Flying Boat.

The architecture on the Flying Boat was also quite peculiar, very regular and emphasizing symmetry, completely different from the generally chaotic aesthetic style of the Southern Border.

On the Flying Boat, a group of scholars in Confucian robes stood by the railing, chatting and laughing, looking as if they were sightseeing.

"Senior Brother Song, I heard this place is called Great Sun City, and the City Lord is your Junior Brother. Should we go down and meet him?"

The leading man fell silent upon hearing this, his expression somewhat grim, but the person beside him pretended not to notice and continued:

"Your Junior Brother seems to be called... Liu Xuan. This person is not simple. He married True Lord Haoran's youngest daughter, Junior Sister Yun Xi, as his Dao Companion. Now, in the Southern Courtyard of the Beast Taming Sect, his status is probably even higher than Senior Brother Song's!"

"Junior Sister Yun Xi?"

A female student sighed upon hearing this, "I saw her thirty years ago at the academy. She was such a good girl, how could she get married?"

"Junior Sister Yun Xi has excellent talent and a bright Dao path. How could she marry at such a young age?"

"She must have been deceived! Junior Sister Yun Xi is inherently pure, and this wild Southern Border is full of malicious people!"

"No way!" Someone retorted, "True Lord Haoran is right here in the Southern Border. If Liu Xuan could deceive Junior Sister Yun Xi, could he also deceive True Lord Haoran?"

"Exactly!"

"Senior Sister Yun Miao also came to the Southern Border a long time ago. With her temper, how would she allow her sister to marry?"

Yun Miao had a fiery temper and, when impulsive, even dared to curse the academy's Revered Masters. She was also a doting older sister; when An Yunxi visited the academy back then, someone merely teased her with a few words, and that person was beaten into a pig's head on the spot.

"Who knows? Perhaps Liu Xuan used Senior Sister Yun Miao and True Lord Haoran's doting love for Yun Xi to force them to agree."

"Such deep schemes! As expected of the uneducated, wild Southern Border; all sorts of people exist here."

"Enough!!"

Song Shulian snorted coldly, interrupting their discussion, "How dare you comment on my Revered Master's Family affairs? If anyone says another word, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve, controlling the Flying Boat to descend towards Great Sun City. He wanted to see for himself what kind of person could marry Junior Sister Yun Xi!

"Buzz~"

The Third-rank High-grade Flying Boat stirred up Spiritual Qi, instantly startling the Formation guards.

A Flying Boat of such a rank surely indicated the arrival of an important figure. The city guard Cultivator immediately reported to the City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Hui, who was in charge of city affairs, personally came. After simply understanding that these were people from the Beast Taming Sect, she immediately granted passage and invited them in.
