Xiao Manxue saw the two ancient beast skins and was slightly surprised, as was Xiao Manxuan. In their understanding, most cultivation techniques were recorded on paper books, some in ancient times on bamboo slips, a few on silk cloth, and very few on stone carvings or golden scrolls.

But using beast skin as a recording medium was something Xiao Manxue was seeing for the first time. After all, beast skin is animal fur, and making it into suitable "paper" for writing or drawing is even more complicated than papermaking.

Furthermore, in ancient times, using bamboo slips was more cost-effective and convenient compared to beast skin. No one would ignore the convenient bamboo slips and instead use beast skin.

"Truly strange material." Xiao Manxuan also leaned in to look, saying in a puzzled manner, clearly even the little girl could see how unreasonable this "paper" material was.

The Miss also nodded and said, "Among the cultivation technique recording mediums I've seen, golden scrolls are quite rare, followed by stone carvings, and the rarest is the bronze tripod. Techniques recorded on a bronze tripod basically date back to over two thousand years ago. As for beast skin, I've never seen it."

Lin Tian didn't explain much but instead smiled lightly and said, "Miss, try tearing these two pieces of beast skin with force, yes, use all your strength to tear them."

The Miss was a bit puzzled but still tried pulling hard, finding she couldn't tear it. She then slightly used half of her True Qi and still found she couldn't tear it apart.

She gradually increased her True Qi and finally, using ninety percent of her strength, was shocked to find that she still couldn't do anything to this small piece of beast skin!

"This... is definitely not ordinary beast skin, not even comparable to the legendary Black Water King Snake's skin." The Miss exclaimed, "The legend says the Black Water King Snake is impervious to swords and spears because of its skin and scales."

Black Water King Snake? Still a legend? Lin Tian smiled strangely, the Black Water King Snake is not just a legend, because he had seen it with his own eyes. Its terrifying power isn't even matched by Innate Strong People, and indeed, as the Miss said, it's impervious to swords and spears.

However, Lin Tian didn't mention the Black Water King Snake, as it's better for fewer people to know about the existence of the underground world of the Dragon-locking Well. Besides, he felt that the ice-sealed cave was too eerie, and if anything went wrong, it would become a big issue.

Lin Tian simply said, "Of course, it's not ordinary. You see, it's now folded in half, and when you hold it, doesn't it feel like two pieces of beast skin? Actually, they were two separate pieces of beast skin, but later, by a stroke of luck, the two separate pieces fused into one. Just this self-fusion function, can it be simple?"

"What's this about one piece or two pieces? You're making our heads spin." Xiao Manxuan shook her little head, saying in total confusion.

Lin Tian gestured for them to wait a moment, then went to get a piece of paper, tore it in half, and explained, "Look, these are two pieces of paper, just like the beast skin before. But later, for some unknown reasons, the two fused, connected together, and became one. Ladies, do you understand?"

"How is that possible!" The sisters exclaimed in unison, completely incredulous.

"I was just as baffled as you, and even now, I can't figure it out, but the fact is what it is, they did fuse. I'm telling you all this to mentally prepare you, as this cultivation technique is extremely peculiar and not easy to understand." Lin Tian spread his hands, saying.

"You just said Xuanxuan would have trouble cultivating it, could it be related?" The Miss slightly frowned and asked.

"Open it and you'll know." Lin Tian suggested.

With curiosity, the Miss opened the beast skin, and the cultivation technique patterns instantly appeared before the sisters. Seeing the techniques recorded on the beast skin, the Miss was once again surprised, because there wasn't a single word on it.

"Lin Tian, are these little human figures on it some kind of gymnastics routine?" Xiao Manxuan suddenly blurted out, making Lin Tian feel so frustrated he almost spat blood.

The ancient and impactful cultivation technique was actually described by the little girl as a gymnastics routine. Such imagination is not something an ordinary person can achieve.

But Lin Tian then laughed and said, "Actually, you can think of it as gymnastics. Essentially, ancient martial cultivation techniques and gymnastics both exist to train a stronger body."

This time, it was the Miss who was so frustrated she almost spat blood. The pursuit of the pinnacle of power in ancient martial arts was actually described by Lin Tian as essentially the same as gymnastics, which might incite outrage among the vast ancient martial artists.

Lin Tian seemed to notice her frustration and lightly smiled, "Miss, what do you think was the original intention of the ancestors in creating ancient martial arts?"

The Miss slightly furrowed her brows, apparently unable to understand what Lin Tian intended to express. Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Whether it's ordinary martial arts or ancient martial arts, I think the ancestors created them to strengthen the body to better adapt to the environment and survive. As for power, it's merely an offshoot after physical robustness."

"Just like Buddhist martial arts, their initial creation wasn't for pursuing power, it was simply to exercise the body. Because Buddhist disciples sit in meditation for long periods, their blood flow might be blocked, leading to poor health. Buddhist martial arts were created in such a context. Buddhist teachings are their core, while martial arts merely support physical training."

"Obsessing over power alone is never the supreme path; returning to the original intention and purpose is the true way. What do you think, Miss?" Lin Tian expressed this sudden inspiration in his mind, which, in Zen master's words, might be enlightenment or sudden realization.

Moreover, Lin Tian said these words for another reason: if the Second Miss were to step into the path of cultivation, this enlightenment might provide her guidance, helping her establish a correct inner purpose, making it less likely to go astray or lose direction in cultivation.

Both sisters were intelligent and exceptionally gifted geniuses. Lin Tian's words indeed made them fall into contemplation.

When humans contemplate, it is said that God laughs. Many believe it is mockery, but the true meaning is that God is pleased to see humans understand how to think. It is a sign of wisdom, and humans progress through constant reflection.

Lin Tian didn't interrupt their thoughts, until a few minutes later, the sisters snapped back to reality.

The Miss couldn't help but laugh, "Lin Tian, every time you ramble, it makes a lot of sense. You're wasting your talent by not becoming a motivational speaker."

"Motivational speaker? That's all a scam. If they spoke so well, why don't they do it themselves instead of holding lectures to earn peanuts?" Lin Tian said indifferently, "Back to the point, ladies, do you see any issues with this cultivation technique?"

"It resembles the Ancient Body Technique somewhat." The Miss hesitated and said, "Moreover, some of the training moves are so strange that we can't even perform them."

"That's exactly the issue; even you can't perform them, let alone the Second Miss." Lin Tian shook his head and said.
