"You should be fine. Think of this as a gift and train harder." Since ye Yaming was promised to be taken as a disciple, there was no difference whether he gave him the technique or Master Yunxiao did it later on after formal rituals.
...
’With this, he should be able to suppress the bloodline strain by the time the recruitment ship arrives.’ Bai Chen was sure that with the boy’s talent, he would be able to quickly overcome the suppression.
"When the recruitment ship of our sect arrives, I will instruct them to pick you up. Cultivate this technique until then." Bai Chen instructed Ye Yaming. Yearly, during autumns, most of the sect selected disciples and recruited workers. There were a few months of time remaining until that.
If Bai Chen was not on a mission then he would have taken Ye Yaming back himself but he was busy and the boy needed time to learn the technique, anyway.
Ye Yaming thanked Bai Chen for the technique before the man left for his mission.

He glanced at the stats, watching the exponential growth of his talent in all three fields.
"So, a body cultivation technique." He glanced at the cultivation technique to strengthen his physique, seated in his room.
Since he did not have to go out, he decided to start with the practice. He needed to test out the learning speed too.
It was his first time seeing a body cultivation technique. The Qi cultivation technique only consisted of Qi circulation method and nothing else.
The body technique, however, had a vivid diagram of the human body, their various meridians and blood vessels.
"Most of it has to do with Pure Qi control and Physical talent but this will permanently consume my Pure Qi..."
As he learned the technique, he realised that the boost to physique would be permanent but at the cost of Pure Qi in his body. He would have happily parted with it if the Beast Qi was needed but Pure Qi was a little harder to cultivate than the Beast Qi.
"Alright, let’s give it a try. It could be the key to breakthrough to Stage 2." It was not like he could not raise his Pure Qi. It was relatively harder than how he gained Beast Qi and if it could strengthen his physique then might be able to summon his Beast Soul normally.
Excited, he began to read the technique in detail, etching every step into his brain.
"On second thought, the advanced level of technique is really intricate. It consumes less Pure Qi but if a person doesn’t have that high of a mastery then he can just circulate Pure Qi according to the manual."
He muttered in surprise.
The body cultivation technique had two layers; one for beginners and other for masters.
If he wanted to try the hard way, he could save more than half of his Pure Qi from being wasted or he could just use the simple method instead.
...
A day passed,
He practiced the basic version of the body cultivation technique first.
He needed to make sure that the technique worked for his physique before committing to it fully.
Fortunately for him, the technique really seemed to decrease the strain on his body.
...
Body cultivation technique: Beginner (22%)
Pure Qi: 201
...
He glanced at his palm encased in pure white light, enveloped in his Pure Qi before pulling the Qi back to his dantian.
Unlike the Beast Qi which was stored in the Beast Soul, Pure Qi was stored in dantian, just below his navel, inside his body.
He had stopped just on the brink of Qi refining level 3, not wanting to fall back at level 2. The progress seemed alright since the efficiency was less than one fourth, only 22%.
He believed that that basic technique itself would be enough to negate the Mutated bloodline’s strain. As for the advanced version? He would take his time mastering the basic version first before committing to the advanced one.
Ye Yaming was so engrossed in his cultivation that he lost the track of time. It was night time already and the clan estate seemed silent, eerily silent.
For some reason, he didn’t want to sleep. He was not tired either. So, he decided to go out of his courtyard for a walk.
Just as he stepped out of his door, he spotted a masked man covered from head to toe waiting outside his house.
"You are..?" Ye Yaming muttered in confusion. But the masked man did not seem to be in the mood for a chat. He raised his hand and made a signal with his palm before two more masked men came running at Ye Yaming.
He understood his situation but running back into his home did not seem like a good option.
’Those eyes, I have seen them before.’ As the masked men came close, he seemed to find their eyes familiar. He did not know who but they were from the clan, his Ye clan.
Instinctively, the Beast Qi came rushing in his fist. He practiced the Ye clan fist technique for the physical training and had mastered the technique.
The men, not having expected the boy to choose to fight, were a little unprepared. They had come together as a group of three to suppress the noise
and keep others in the clan from waking up.
They did not actually need to gang up on the kid just to take him out. It was because they were in the Inner residence of the clan that they had to be very careful with their approach.
Even their Beast Souls were already summoned, surrounding the boy’s big house fully to suppress any noise.
Without their Beast Souls, they were weak. They only had one tenth of their Beast Qi in their body.
’You think you can beat me with that fragile body?’ Thinking so, the masked man used his size as an advantage against the 7 year old to dodge his attacks.
