Li Xuan was contemplating whether or not to make up a couple more blood and qi cultivation techniques to replace the four he had already made up, allowing Xu Yan to brainstorm and glean insights from them.
"If it can be connected with the stage of blood and qi, then it allows the disciple to brainstorm more effectively and facilitates his understanding."
However, the four cultivation techniques had already been passed on. Does he now need to find an excuse to tell Xu Yan that these four techniques are not suitable for him and therefore need to be replaced?
If so, wouldn't this make him, the secluded master, appear insufficient in his grasp of the disciple's talents?
"Maybe I should wait. If Xu Yan fails to come up with something with his own brainstorming, fails to understand the underlying martial arts principles, and comes to me for advice, should I then give him new cultivation techniques?
"But if I do so, won't this shake his belief?"
