Chapter 468: Chapter 85

"Alright, Granny."

Li Zhiyuan nodded and flipped open the book.

"Liu’s Qi Observation Technique" is unlike other books which usually come in dozens of volumes; it consists of only one book but split into twenty-four volumes, embodying profound meanings in succinct expressions.

Li Zhiyuan enjoyed quantifying esoteric concepts, and to him, this book resembled a master outline.

Liu used it as the core, developing numerous branches from it, hence, it could also be understood as the foundation.

Studying and understanding it is an indispensable first step for the disciples of the Liu clan.

For outstanding disciples, it is a key that opens the door to learning and mastering the various branches left by the predecessors.

For instance, the horse stance and breathing techniques taught by Uncle Qin contain the essence of "Qin’s Jiao Observation Method."

At this level, the deeper one understands, the more efficient they become at learning martial techniques and other branch disciplines.

A step higher is another domain, akin to possessing certain privileges.

You can create and design branches most suitable for yourself. As for the teachings left by the predecessors, you don’t need to learn them all; a simple glance can give you a clear insight: Oh, this idea is good.

Li Zhiyuan thought to himself that he might be nearing the completion of the first level but hadn’t reached the second level yet.

In fact, he felt somewhat guilty because he took a shortcut; he stood on the shoulders of a "book thief."

However, everyone has their blind spots under fixed cognitive habits, easily leading to ignorant questions.

It’s like when a top student explains a simple problem to a weaker student, often bewildered: How can you still not solve such an easy question?

The book, in fact, is right here.

The "book thief" might also have been a brilliant talent, but when transcribing this book, probably never considered passing it down; otherwise, why would anyone deliberately set barriers in such an abstract manner?

Most likely, the person might have been slightly drunk or just itchy to write, letting his knowledge of "Liu’s Qi Observation Technique" naturally flow through his pen, purely for his own enjoyment.

In essence, he was also translating his understanding of the book into his writings; empathizing with his handwriting is also a significant feat, indicating a cognitive level parallel to the depth the "book thief" reached when writing these texts. One shouldn’t feel that using reference books to enhance learning efficiency is less solid than painstakingly studying the books.

Moreover, the young man read too many books, didn’t focus on this one exclusively, and didn’t receive complete inheritance, possessing only this isolated volume, equivalent to a missing piece.

Why did the young man used to nosebleed or even go blind when modifying Feng Shui or Arrays in the past? It was because he was relying on basic theories, forcibly calculating specific methods on the spur of the moment.

Not to mention he was just a child then; if it were an ordinary adult, they would have exhausted themselves to the point of tears.

"Granny, I studied last night..."

"Xiao Yuan, how much did you read last night?"

Li Zhiyuan paused slightly and said, "I read the first volume."

"Xiao Yuan, Granny isn’t criticizing you, I know you’re smart, but you don’t need to rush, as haste makes waste. If you read one volume a night, wouldn’t you finish all twenty-four volumes in a month?"

Oh, I still reported too quickly.

In fact, even with "Qin’s Jiao Observation Method," it didn’t take that long to finish both books.

"The hull must be solidified so it can withstand hidden reefs and storms. Come, Granny will show you."

Liu Yumei initially intended to listen to Li Zhiyuan’s specific doubts and explain them one by one, but seeing his "frivolous" approach, though relieved, she couldn’t help but want to give him a slight reprimand.

Because she had high hopes for the young man.

Liu Yumei lightly tapped her teacup with her ring finger, conjuring a drop of tea, then flicked it gently.

"Buzz!"

Li Zhiyuan felt a ringing in his brain as Liu Yumei leaned forward at that moment, intending to press her thumb on the young man’s forehead to maintain a semi-Underworld state, preventing the excessive drain from harming him.

But before her hand touched the young man, she saw him half-open his eyes on his own.

There was no need for her to worry; the young man’s control over the different levels of Underworld was much better than she had anticipated.

Though surprised, it was still within her comprehension.

Liu Yumei settled back down, also with half-open eyes.

At this moment, the old lady and the young man sat opposite each other, very serene.

But in another layer of their vision, Li Zhiyuan and Liu Yumei both stood, with a fist-sized round water droplet floating between them, surrounded by darkness.

"The First Volume: Qi is the foundation of creation, the source of myriad things, through utmost stillness comes the thought of movement, from clarity comes knowledge of the end, understanding all brings forth the beginning, this is the form, this is the law, this is the reason, this is the Cycle."

With a smile, Liu Yumei hooked her fingers around the floating water droplet, leisurely pulling it outward, creating a ripple that continuously transformed before her, sometimes still, sometimes moving, sometimes hidden, sometimes visible.

Then, she closed her palms slightly; the ripple vanished. Upon reopening her palm, the ripple reappeared, continuously displaying various changes, reflecting numerous lights and shadows.

She broke down every complex concept, mashed them, and fed them directly to your mouth.

The young man who had been deeply engrossed in reading for the past year experienced the warmth of learning from a teacher for the first time.
