"The only advantage of this cultivation technique is that it doesn't require the use of True Qi, which might be beneficial for the Second Miss," Lin Tian said.
Listening to Lin Tian's words, the Miss felt both happy and worried. She was happy because if the cultivation technique didn't require using True Qi and was only for body refinement, it could avoid triggering the strange energy inside Xiao Manxuan.
The worry was that the movements detailed on the beast skin were incredibly mysterious and unpredictable. As an Ancient Martial Artist, even the Miss wasn't confident she could perform them, let alone Xiao Manxuan, who was just an ordinary person.
"Lin Tian, have you really been practicing this cultivation technique all along?" the Miss asked skeptically. The movements were very challenging, and given the human skeletal structure, they seemed impossible to complete, so she had reason to doubt.
"Alright, you won't believe it until I've demonstrated it," Lin Tian said helplessly.
Under the amazed gaze of the two women, Lin Tian moved to an open space and started practicing according to the beast skin's movements, step by step, precisely and fluently.
The two sisters widened their eyes and slightly opened their mouths, truly stunned by Lin Tian. His movements were not only seamless but flowed like water, even when encountering difficult moves.
Between each gesture and pose, the sisters could distinctly feel the beauty of strength, with an ancient aura seemingly emanating forth, as if Pangu was opening the heavens, or Xingtian wielding his shield and axe. The more they watched, the more captivated they became, their hearts deeply shaken.
Once the set of movements was completed, Lin Tian made a hand seal and sat cross-legged. The Miss sharply sensed that the sun essence filling the heavens and earth suddenly converged into the room, gathering towards Lin Tian.
When Lin Tian stood up, the feeling disappeared again, and the Miss suddenly realized that the intense moonlight she had sensed last time in Lin Tian's room was certainly drawn by this cultivation technique he practiced.
"What an amazing cultivation technique, it's as if it was inherited from an ancient era," the Miss remarked.
"Do you believe it now?" Lin Tian asked, mentioning that he had just practiced the day-refining part, hence why he was able to draw the sun essence.
"But how can I do it? It's too difficult," Xiao Manxuan said with a bitter face.
"How about this, you first practice the initial three movements, increase your practice gradually, and I believe you'll eventually manage it," Lin Tian encouraged, then indicated for her to come forward, "Come out and demonstrate the first three movements, I'll correct your actions now, so you can practice on your own later."
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Manxuan proclaimed proudly, standing tall and with her chest out.
"Hey, I told you before, didn't I, Second Miss? Don't call me Master. If I take on such a pretty disciple, people might think I have improper intentions," Lin Tian said, quite exasperated. Why was this little girl so excited about acknowledging a master?
The Miss rolled her eyes at him, muttering softly, "As if you were that innocent."
"Master, I'm starting now." Xiao Manxuan formally saluted and said.
Calling him master over and over, Lin Tian palmed his forehead, feeling like his words were wasted.
However, Xiao Manxuan stepped into the open space and began to earnestly perform the first movement according to the technique's instructions.
The little girl's movement had barely reached halfway when Lin Tian almost spat out a mouthful of water. Just because the little girl's current posture was so inappropriate for children. Xiao Manxuan bent backward, her prominent chest thrust out, the clothes pulled tightly, with the first button popping off, and the hem crumpling upwards, revealing her smooth, flat belly.
Damn it, why didn't I realize this while practicing? Watching a woman train this set of movements is practically fatal, this posture makes it nearly impossible not to think improper thoughts, Lin Tian swallowed audibly, wondering if he should have taken on this disciple.
Even though his eyes couldn't help but look, he had to put on a serious expression, especially since the Miss was there beside him; he couldn't afford not to hold back.
"Ah…"
Suddenly, the Second Miss cried out, snapping Lin Tian back to reality. The little girl had already fallen to the ground, her expression pained as she clutched her own waist.
"Xuanxuan, what's wrong?" the Miss quickly ran over.
"It feels like I pulled my waist," Xiao Manxuan said, frowning in pain.
"Don't move, let me take a look," Lin Tian squatted down to exhort, then pressed lightly on Xiao Manxuan's waist a few times, using delicate force to massage it before saying, "How does it feel now?"
"Much better," Xiao Manxuan said, her pained expression easing into relaxation.
"Lin Tian, about my sister…" the Miss's complexion was not good as she asked.
Lin Tian sighed in his heart, realizing he'd underestimated the difficulty of this cultivation technique; ordinary people couldn't train it, and the Second Miss couldn't even complete the first movement.
He tried to speak in a lighthearted tone, "It's okay, maybe the Second Miss hasn't fully recovered yet, she should avoid practicing for now."
"Lin Tian, don't comfort me, I know I can't practice this cultivation technique; I can't even complete the first move," Xiao Manxuan said, lowering her head in deep disappointment.
Lin Tian and the Miss exchanged a glance, unsure how to console her. As an Ancient Martial Artist, the Miss could naturally tell this wasn't a matter of recovery; the technique's difficulty was simply too high for her sister.
"Alright, let's go upstairs first. As for the cultivation technique, I'll think of a way," Lin Tian said, then helped Xiao Manxuan up.
The three returned to Xiao Manxuan's bedroom. Zhang Lingyu noticed right away that Xiao Manxuan's gait was unnatural.
"Xuanxuan, what happened?" Zhang Lingyu hurried forward, taking Xiao Manxuan's hand and asking with concern.
"I saw Lin Tian's cultivation technique, but I couldn't even complete the first move. Sister Yu, do you think I'm useless?" Xiao Manxuan said with a bitter expression.
"How could that be? I'm aware of Xuanxuan's talent, not inferior to her sister's, and even viewed as an exceptional genius in the Ancient Martial World. How could she possibly not manage even one move?" Tang Ziqing said, slightly frowning in surprise.
The Miss glanced at Lin Tian, and with his approval, explained, "Lin Tian's cultivation technique is similar to an Ancient Body Technique and requires significant physical demand."
Upon hearing that Lin Tian practiced an Ancient Body Technique, even the always-cool Tang Ziqing showed a brief hint of surprise, although it quickly faded, replaced with her usual indifferent demeanor.
"Manxue, I'm considering taking Xuanxuan back to the sect. My master is knowledgeable and might recognize the special energy within Xuanxuan and find a suitable treatment," Tang Ziqing said calmly.
Her words slightly surprised Lin Tian, as despite Tang Ziqing's cold tone, her willingness to bring an outsider back to the sect indicated that behind her cold exterior, she had a caring nature. No wonder, despite her aloofness, the Miss regarded Tang Ziqing as a good master.
The Miss was glad to hear Tang Ziqing's intention, but she instinctively looked at Lin Tian, wanting to hear his opinion. It seemed that in her heart, Lin Tian had become someone most reliable and dependable.
