第两千八百一十四章 听君一席话,胜读十年书

Mistress Senior's strength was comparable to that of a cultivation expert who had passed through the Tribulation, but this did not mean she should have such a significant gap in understanding this technique. Could it be due to other reasons that caused her to temporarily pause?

Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er pondered these thoughts silently, not saying much as she obediently waited for Lin Xuan's instructions.

"Yu'er, you can now point out the difficulties you encountered during your cultivation. I will help you resolve them," Lin Xuan said in a calm voice, turning his head to look at her.

Indeed, this Long Spring Technique had its merits, but the so-called complexity was merely relative compared to ordinary techniques. It was far from being on the same level as the Black Moon Heavenly Witch Art he practiced.

Lin Xuan did not need to ponder over his words; after a careful review and verification of his knowledge, he easily grasped the essence.

Of course, Lin Xuan did not claim to fully understand every aspect of this technique. Even if it were True Dragon Immortal or Fairy Hundred Flowers in another place, he would not dare make such an assertion. However, explaining cultivation techniques to a junior disciple at the early Profound Foundation stage was within his grasp.

Without the right tools, one should not attempt to do delicate work. Lin Xuan only dared say this because he truly believed and had full confidence in himself.

However, Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er was left speechless. She had already imagined her new master as extraordinary, but she found that Lin Xuan's abilities far exceeded her expectations.

She could only admire him, but there were still doubts in her heart. How difficult the Long Spring Technique truly was, Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er knew all too well from personal experience. Could it be that Master had truly mastered this technique after just a brief glance?

If she asked some cultivation-related questions and he couldn't answer them, wouldn't she look foolish?

She admitted to herself that while she didn’t care much, she was worried about Lin Xuan’s face. She had finally found such an outstanding master; if she caused him embarrassment or displeasure due to this issue, her status in the sect would be affected.

Indeed, this woman was quite astute, thinking through so many possibilities in a moment.

Lin Xuan, being a shrewd cultivator, noticed her hesitation and knew what she was worried about. He chuckled silently but deliberately showed some dissatisfaction on his face.

"Why are you hesitating, Yu'er? Are you saying that there is no difficulty for me to resolve or do you think I am incapable of answering your cultivation questions?"

His words were rather harsh.

Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er was startled and quickly knelt down. "Master, please forgive my disrespect; I would never have such thoughts."

"Then speak," Lin Xuan said, his sleeves fluttering slightly as a gentle yet powerful force supported her without any visible light.

"You need not kneel so often, Yu'er. As your master, I do not have many formalities. You can show respect in your heart; there is no need for such formalities," Lin Xuan said with a frown, though his tone was one of reprimand that warmed her heart and relieved her.

Respect for seniors was important, but she truly feared Master’s sternness. In the cultivation world, once someone became a master, they could even decide life or death over their disciples without any interference from others.

Fortunately, there was no need to worry; despite his great abilities, he had no airs at all!

Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er felt relieved and treasured this moment more. Seeing Lin Xuan’s dissatisfaction, she quickly continued her questioning, though she still harbored some anxiety inside.

Otherwise, repeated delays would anger even the most patient person. She dared not offend Lin Xuan.

"Master, do not be angry; I have a problem. When I was cultivating Long Spring Technique..."

Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er’s gentle voice entered his ears as she asked a simple question to test him.

Of course, it was relatively simple, but this was one of the major difficulties in her cultivation. With her intelligence and wit, she did not dare to fabricate any questions to deceive Lin Xuan.

This woman’s cunning allowed her to handle things well.

"Ah, you are referring to this issue; for a cultivator at the early Profound Foundation stage, it is indeed possible to be delayed by such problems..."

Lin Xuan smiled. He could easily discern whether she was trying to deceive him with his strength and experience.

She had shown some sense in that regard.

Otherwise, Lin Xuan would have punished this new disciple.

Strict teachers produce excellent students; while Lin Xuan did not show any airs, he would not allow his disciples to be insincere. While he pampered them occasionally, there were always limits and rules.

Lin Xuan was a good teacher who would not overly indulge his disciples.

Since Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er had not made any mistakes, Lin Xuan patiently explained the matter further.

Actually, it wasn’t much; with just a few words, he helped her see the light. The key was that every word from Lin Xuan hit the mark.

Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er was both surprised and delighted as she asked another question.

Lin Xuan continued his patient teaching.

Time passed quickly like a horse galloping across a field; before they knew it, the sun had risen again.

That night, Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er gained much from her questions. Initially, she hesitated to ask simple problems, but as time went on, she realized that such hesitation was unnecessary. Master’s explanations were clear and concise, without any delays or pressure.

One cannot judge a book by its cover; the sea is vast beyond measure.

Master's insights and strength far exceeded her expectations.

With this realization, she no longer hesitated to ask more difficult questions. At this point, she really wanted all her doubts resolved. Without needing to consume any elixirs or enter seclusion, simply resolving her daily cultivation difficulties would greatly enhance her cultivation.

Even if it didn’t break through the early Profound Foundation stage bottleneck, she was confident that there wouldn’t be much difference.

The benefits of this were so obvious that even Baroness Gong Sun Yu'er blushed with excitement. She asked question after question, and Lin Xuan did not disappoint; no matter how tricky her questions were, he always found a solution for her.
