Facing Yan Hu's question, Yan Mo blinked and gently shook his head:

"No, I skimmed through that cultivation technique, and it's just some foundational stuff, so I didn't let everyone practice it."

Back then, Yan Mo was too embarrassed to say the truth. After all, it was the beginning of the alliance, and they weren't very familiar with each other. Plus, the other party had kindly shared a cultivation technique, so he didn't feel it was appropriate to be too picky. However, now that they were more familiar with each other, those concerns were gone.

"You're really treating a treasure like it's straw. That cultivation technique took the Young Master a lot of effort to compile. While some of the training techniques may seem ordinary, they can genuinely improve combat strength."

Yan Hu glared at Yan Mo and said, "No wonder your Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps is falling behind the Dragon Flame and Dragon Soul Mercenary Corps! So you were given a cultivation technique but didn't bother to practice it? You guys are something else!"

"This..." Yan Mo and the other two were stunned.

Jiang Chen spoke softly, "Why are you all practicing golf this way?"

"Isn't it to improve our control over Inner Qi?" Yan Mo responded without hesitation.

"Is Inner Qi control foundational? Are there similar training methods in the cultivation technique?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Yan Mo and the others paused, recalling the contents of the cultivation technique Jiang Chen gave them. It seemed... there really were similar training methods!

"The foundation is very important! Different realms offer different perspectives on the foundation. Once you surpass the Venerable Realm, you'll realize that the things you previously overlooked are often the most critical aspects of cultivation. And those things are precisely the foundational elements you didn't value before!"

Jiang Chen then suddenly said, his tone heartfelt:

"This is a very simple yet often most easily overlooked point! Without a solid foundation, even if your realm advances quickly, you'll be left with countless hidden dangers."

"The most tangible example is this: all three of you are in the Early Stage of the Venerable Realm, yet even if the three of you joined forces, you still wouldn't be able to defeat me, Hu Zi, or Spirit You—any one of us at the same realm!"

"Hu Zi and the others, despite being in the Early Venerable Realm, are confident enough to challenge mid-stage Venerable experts head-on. But you? You don't have that confidence."

"Because in your eyes, the gap between realms is insurmountable. This isn't because of your low realm, but because you lack strengths in other areas. The main issue is that your foundation isn't solid!"

"Without a solid foundation, combat strength doesn't grow. With a low realm and no increase in combat strength, of course, you're not going to feel confident enough to cross realms in battle!"

Hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances, a sense of shame washing over them.

They had never thought about it this way. Now that they understood, they realized just how selfless it had been of Jiang Chen to share that cultivation technique with them!

"This..." Yan Mo opened his mouth, looking expectantly at Jiang Chen but hesitating to speak.

"Looking for foundational cultivation methods specific to the Venerable Realm?" Jiang Chen chuckled as he spoke.

Yan Mo nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Those are just the basics."

Huh?

Yan Mo was stunned. What... what did that mean?

Yan Mo didn't think Jiang Chen was mocking him. Jiang Chen was definitely not petty when it came to his friends. So what did those words mean...

"Mr. Jiang means, foundations are just foundations. There's no need to differentiate across realms, because at all levels, the foundation is the foundation and doesn't change."

Suddenly, Yan Mo's eyes lit up. "There isn't a specific foundational cultivation method for the Venerable Realm. That cultivation technique is applicable to martial artists of any realm because it's simply about solidifying the foundation. For all martial artists, foundational methods are the same, right?"

"Not too late to figure it out!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "That cultivation technique is indeed suitable for martial artists of any realm. However, I didn't have enough insights back then, and the compilation was a bit rough. Coincidentally, I've been inspired by this golf practice today. I'll reorganize it tonight and have Hu Zi deliver you updated copies."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!" Yan Mo gratefully said.

Kuang Shi apologized with a bow to Jiang Chen. "No wonder the Dragon Flame Mercenary Corps' warriors surpass us in both combat strength and endurance. We thought Jiang Chen was withholding secrets from us, but now it's clear we were utterly wrong! Mr. Jiang, my apologies!"

"Exactly. The Dragon Flame warriors' punches at the same realm can achieve the effects of five parts of strength while we can barely reach three. When they fight with eight parts of strength, it's equivalent to us going all-out. How could their combat and endurance not surpass ours? We were holding treasure in our hands but treating it like worthless grass all along!"

Mad Tiger sighed and also bowed to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and bowed his head, continuing to adjust his Inner Qi while practicing golf.

In this moment, Yan Mo and the others truly began to respect Jiang Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

Back when they had formed their alliance, it was only because Ge'er Yan was in Dragon Flame, so Yan Mo and the others reluctantly agreed to the alliance. They had never expected Jiang Chen to offer them something so vital back then.

Yet they had scoffed at it. That was truly... beyond foolish!

"Head of the Jiang Family!"

At that moment, a voice called out, and everyone looked up to see Ge'er Kusi and others approaching.

"Family Head Ge'er, Mr. Pu Losi." Jiang Chen greeted them with a gentle smile.

Ge'er Kusi glanced around the area and said, half laughing and half crying, "Head of the Jiang Family, are you trying to destroy our Ge'er Family estate? Four golf courses, all utterly ruined by you. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to embarrass the Ge'er Family on purpose!"

"No, no, we absolutely would not do something like that." Jiang Chen quickly waved his hands.

Pu Losi chuckled and said, "Head of the Jiang Family, you've been at this for such a long time. Is this method effective?"

"Of course!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly and waved his hand.

Swoosh!

With a swing of the club, the golf ball shot out like an arrow.

Pu Losi and the others followed the ball closely with their eyes.

Bang!

A faint sound echoed as the golf ball landed in a hole a kilometer away, without causing even the slightest damage to the hole.

"What's the big deal? You just used Inner Qi to hit it farther!" Ge'er Pusi scoffed with a dismissive snort.

Ge'er Kusi and Pu Losi were equally puzzled, turning their curious eyes toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled calmly. "Since Young Master Ge'er Pusi finds it unimpressive, how about you try hitting one using Inner Qi? You don't even need to hit it into a hole a thousand meters away. Just make it into a hole a hundred meters away. Remember, you must use Inner Qi!"

"Fine, I'll do it!"

Ge'er Pusi agreed immediately.
