Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 716 - 438 Nine Yin Scripture!_2

Extraordinary talent!Truly unimaginable!

Yan Chuan often saw Situ Fei quietly reading a Daoist book in a corner, her movements gentle and naturally making people overlook her presence.

Daoism follows nature!

With such temperament and talent, the "Nine Yin Scripture" is truly the perfect match for her.

"City Lord Yan—" Situ Fei was somewhat surprised, not at Yan Chuan’s description of the "Nine Yin Scripture," nor at its contents, but rather at: "City Lord Yan actually tailored an absolute skill for me?"

Situ Fei was in the Tan Valley Royal City, so she naturally knew Yan Chuan’s prowess. From Ding Xiang to Peng Fannian, from Ban Xianfu to Lu Yuru, from Wang Zhengyi to Wang Ge, from Fu Yunzhan to Ma Hongniang, and most recently Ying Jifeng, Yan Chuan had tailored absolute skills for many, and after cultivating the skills tailored by Yan Chuan, their progress was often rapid and fitting.

For example, Ding Xiang.

For example, Ma Hongniang.

For example, Ying Jifeng.

Even including those like Chen Ze, Jiang Bianliu, and Huang Wuniang who have already proven their Dao.

Situ Fei witnessed the progress of these people after switching to the absolute skills and certainly knew of Yan Chuan’s prowess.

However, Situ Fei never thought Yan Chuan would also tailor an absolute skill for her.

Firstly, she felt the "Sky Flying Shadow Embrace Divine Sword" was sufficient.

Secondly, looking at those for whom Yan Chuan tailored absolute skills—

Wang Zhengyi, Wang Ge, and others were Yan Chuan’s fellow townsmen and friends.

Chen Ze was Yan Chuan’s junior brother.

Jiang Bianliu was a lifelong friend of Yan Chuan.

Huang Wuniang followed Yan Chuan even before he proved his Dao with her innate status.

Ding Xiang, Peng Fannian, and others ’sold themselves’ to Yan Chuan.

Each had a connection.

But what about her?

Her relationship with Yan Chuan was ordinary.

Thus, Situ Fei never thought Yan Chuan would tailor an absolute skill for her, and moreover—

"Beidou Technique."

"Muscle Strengthening and Bone Forging Chapter."

"Healing Chapter."

"Acupoint Pointing Chapter."

"Acupoint Unblocking Secret."

"Shoujin Suogu Skill."

"Fei Xu Power."

"Snake Movement and Fox Flipping."

"Soul Transference Technique."

"General Outline."

Having only skimmed through the "Nine Yin Scripture"’s upper volume, Situ Fei was astonished by the profound martial arts recorded within, from internal cultivation methods to various applications, it was truly profound and subtle.

Within the ’Acupoint Pointing Chapter’ and ’Acupoint Unblocking Secret’, Situ Fei saw traces of Peng Fannian’s "Twelve Acupoint Striking Skill" and Yan Chuan’s "One Yang Finger".

In the ’Fei Xu Power’, she saw the essence of Yan Chuan’s self-created ’Tai Chi Boxing’.

In ’Snake Movement and Fox Flipping’, she saw Yan Chuan’s "Wave Riding Micro Steps", Ding Xiang’s "Shadowy Charm", and many shadows of her own ’Flying Shadow Body Technique’.

A thorough study of Daoist scriptures!

Integration of a hundred schools!

Even just this "Nine Yin Upper Volume" was already rare in the world.

Situ Fei was amazed—

Amazed at the profound mysteries of the "Nine Yin Scripture".

Amazed at Yan Chuan’s grand gesture, deep sincerity.

...

The "Nine Yin Scripture" is divided into two volumes, the upper volume is the foundation of Inner Strength, the lower volume consists of martial arts moves, containing numerous mysterious and unpredictable techniques, with deep and difficult principles to learn. Even Heaven’s Chosen Son would find it hard to easily master it, but Fairy Situ, with her extraordinary talent and comprehension, should handle it with ease."

Yan Chuan smiled and said to Situ Fei: "Many martial arts in the upper volume can find their origins in what I have learned and seen, for example, the ’Muscle Strengthening and Bone Forging Chapter’ is derived from my early self-created "Yijinjing", infused with Daoist essence, making it stronger than when it was originally created. ’People often think sitting still and ceasing thoughts is the way to advance virtue, but they don’t know those who reach higher realms, achieve a unity of understanding and wisdom, cultivate both essence and use, are still while moving, tranquil even amidst turmoil’, it not only has static skill for meditation but also dynamic skill from external to internal, once mastered, progress in power and other aspects is swift."

"For instance, the ’Beidou Technique’, on one hand, is a condensation of the essence from my earlier created "Innate Skill", and on the other, it combines my understanding of Fairy Situ’s ’Embrace Dantian’ skill, through multiple integrations it became the foundational method for practicing superior skills, subtle and profound, confirming most Daoist martial arts in the world with this volume of the "Nine Yin Scripture" in Daoist martial arts, everywhere finds correspondence, allowing one to gain much benefit."

"In addition, the ’Healing Chapter’ mainly comes from the "One Yang Finger" and "Divine Light Scripture".

"The ’Soul Transference Technique’ is derived from the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar", it’s a type of mind control technique, useful against opponents with high martial arts skills but weak wills."

"However, ’extreme Nine Yin’ is a calamity, to integrate so many cultivation techniques and methods into one is not easy, after seeking more and desiring completeness, each reflection often felt incorrect, and even after creating various absolute skills for the ’Nine Yin Lower Volume’, still felt dissatisfied. Therefore, spent more energy, perused more Daoist scriptures, finally finding a solution, composed into the ’General Outline’, extremely profound, it not only turns illusions encountered by practitioners into divine skills but also corrects the bias of yin softness in Daoist martial arts. ’Extreme Nine Yin’ is a calamity, the key aim of the General Outline is also to correct this flaw."

Yan Chuan introduced each Chapter of the "Nine Yin Scripture" to Situ Fei while also explaining Mysterious Skill in conjunction with the ’Nine Yin Scripture General Outline’.

One explains.

One listens.

This was their first one-on-one exchange, previously Situ Fei had only observed and listened when Yan Chuan was teaching others, the most frequent being when Yan Chuan taught Ding Xiang, but like now, where Yan Chuan was individually guiding her, teaching her, it was the first time.

Truly one-on-one teaching.

Only then did Situ Fei finally understand why Ding Xiang was so persistent in seeking Yan Chuan’s guidance—

"His martial arts accomplishment is unexpectedly at such a level?!"

Standing in awe at the mountain’s height!

Situ Fei was shocked!

...

Nine Yin and Nine Yang!

Both have been created by Yan Chuan.

Comparing the two, each excels in different areas and are hard to separate—

"Nine Yang Divine Skill" emphasizes Inner Strength, "Nine Yin Scripture" emphasizes techniques.

"Nine Yin Scripture" contains countless mysterious techniques, unpredictable and profound, difficult to learn, but "Nine Yang Divine Skill", once accomplished, with the strongest Inner Strength, all martial arts in the world could be utilized, unimpeded by worldly martial arts.

One seems to go from broad to specialized.

Another seems to go from specialized to broad.

Different directions, completely opposite, yet ultimately converging to the same point, this is ’Nine Yin and Nine Yang’.

However, compared to "Nine Yang Divine Skill"’s ’must have gains with learning’, "Nine Yin Scripture" demands much higher on talent and innate quality, even an old naughty martial arts fool or Huang Rong with such intelligence, and even the martial arts accomplishments of the Five Extremes of Shooting Eagle, would find it hard to comprehend within a short term.

Others with mediocre qualifications and average comprehension—

For example, Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng.

For example, Zhou Zhiruo and Song Qingshu.

Though they can quickly rise to dominance temporarily, it is hard to maintain it for long.

Even these four—Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng are disciples of Huang Yaoshi, their qualifications and comprehension would not be poor, Zhou Zhiruo was Mie Jue Master’s chosen successor, Song Qingshu hails from Wudang, they are not lacking, all above average or even top-notch at the time, but their cultivation of "Nine Yin Scripture" remains challenging, often making errors and going astray, it is imaginable how difficult this Divine Skill is to cultivate.

Therefore, transforming illusions encountered by practitioners into divine skills while also correcting the bias of yin softness in Daoist martial arts, the ’Nine Yin Scripture General Outline’ becomes particularly important.

"Nine Yin Scripture—"

"Those with low qualification and dull nature should not practice it."

"Those who are presuming clever and eager for quick success should not practice it."

"And Situ Fei happens to possess both: on the one hand, superior qualification with extraordinary comprehension, on the other, a steady temperament, neither hurried nor slow."

Yan Chuan counted among his old acquaintances, and there was no one more suitable than Situ Fei to practice the "Nine Yin Scripture".

Not even Chen Ze.

Not even Jiang Bianliu.

These two wouldn’t do, they couldn’t compare.

"With Situ Fei practicing the "Nine Yin Scripture," given enough time, her strength will undoubtedly significantly improve, then, armed with various absolute skills, she will be able to handle the complex situation in the Tan Valley Royal City more skillfully, with Elder Jiang, Granny Huang, and Junior Brother, four innate ones guarding the royal city, at least there will be no worries about safety!"

This way Yan Chuan could be assured to venture out.

However, before this, before going out again, he still needed to refine several ’Fire Bud Crystals’, and along the way, complete the after-sales service of the "Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm", "Nine Yin Scripture", and the various tailored absolute skills he previously taught to Ding Xiang, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Ma Hongniang, etc.

And also the ’Tan Valley Army’ and ’Hundred Flower Palace’—

Five Fists!

Five Swords!

"Dragon Elephant Wisdom"!

’Little Arhat Formation of the Arhat System’!

In every aspect, everything must be closely attended to.

Yan Chuan returned to the Tan Valley Royal City, very busy!
