(① Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone)
...
"Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone!"
"This item has the effect of ’absorbing essence’ and ’sealing Qi’. It is generally used to refine exotic treasures for storing essence stones or gathering essence such as the ’Gathering Essence Array’."
Zao Ci, seeing Yan Chuan lingering over the ’Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone’, insightfully introduced it to him.
"Perfect timing." Having found another material that could be fused with a miracle item, Yan Chuan was in good spirits and smiled at Zao Ci, "I want this ’Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone’ as well."
"Take it as you wish!"
Zao Ci laughed heartily.
Yan Chuan also laughed, "I won’t take it for free." He pondered for a moment and then said, "I’ve heard that the Zao family is renowned in Nanxiong City for ’Cold Ice’ types of cultivation techniques, saber skills, hand techniques, and swordsmanship. Brother Changjing and Brother She Bai have often praised Brother Zao’s ’Seven Killings Cold Blade’ in front of me, saying its chill penetrates to the bone, making it irresistible. It’s a coincidence that I have some immature ideas about Cold Ice martial arts. During the martial arts lectures at Hurricane Guard, I will refine them, and at that time, I will present that martial art to Brother Zao as thanks. I hope Brother Zao doesn’t mind."
"Oh?"
Zao Ci initially wondered what Yan Chuan intended to do, only to find out he was going to create a martial art for the Zao family on the spot?
And even compare it to the "Seven Killings Cold Blade"?
Zao Ci was disappointed.
Did not take it seriously.
The Zao family was not lacking in Cold Ice martial arts. Compared to Yan Chuan self-creating Cold Ice martial arts, Zao Ci much preferred Yan Chuan to lecture for a few more days at Hurricane Guard, which would at least repay the ’Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone’.
But Cold Ice martial arts—
Forget it, forget it!
Zao Ci thought dismissively, but he would not say it aloud. He decisively smiled and said, "I will be looking forward to it!"

[Task Four]
[Research Project Name: Cold Ice Divine Palm (Difficulty: Geng★)]
[Inspiration: 0]
[Completing the task grants ’Experience +50,000’ and ’Spiritual +50,000’.]
...
"Cold Ice Divine Palm" is an absolute skill of the Song Mountain Sect, fundamentally based on Zuo Lengchan’s self-created "Ice Cold True Qi".
Among them, "Ice Cold True Qi" resembles the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" or "Divine Light Scripture" type of inner strength skill, able to convert one’s inner strength into extremely cold yin energy to enhance the power of True Qi.
Whereas "Cold Ice Divine Palm" is the absolute skill that employs and harnesses this extremely cold yin energy.
One is a method!
One is a technique!
From the value of ’Yellow Luo Umbrella Stone’, Yan Chuan researched only the activation and application of Ice Cold True Qi, the "Cold Ice Divine Palm" for the Zao family, which fittingly aligned with all their Cold Ice cultivation skills.
Yan Chuan possessed the "Derivation Skill" and enjoyed "Mutual Teaching and Learning", exchanging divine skill for treasures, and returning favors was all too suitable. Not only was it a costless trade, but the martial arts researched by "Derivation Skill" were his own, and the feedback gained from "Mutual Teaching and Learning" was also his own.
All benefits in one go!
Yan Chuan had a triumphant win!

[Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet (Level 41).]
[Fifth Rank Three-headed and Six-armed (Level 43).]
[Fifth Rank Star Stone (Level 42).]
[Fifth Rank Treasure Basin (Level 41).]
[Fake Fifth Rank Jiazi Tai Sui (Level 41).]
[Fourth Rank Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow (Level 40).]
...
Shortly after leaving the Zao family’s treasury, both the ’Star Stone’ and ’Treasure Basin’ successively became genuine ’Fifth Rank’ from ’Fake Fifth Rank’.
To this point, among the six miracle items in "Treasure Rock", only ’Jiazi Tai Sui’ was a fake fifth rank, and the ’Heavenly Vault Sunset Bow’ was fourth rank, while the other four were genuine fifth-ranked exotic treasures!
All preparations were complete!
The foundation was solid!
All that was lacking was enough Spiritual to push the miracle items to the sixth grade!

"Twist and fall, Qi fills the wide chest, rise and fall indistinct, act in one flow, squeeze upwards attack downwards, act boldly and it forms, this is ’Splitting Fist’."
"Body like a crossbow, hands like a hundred arrows, move through the middle, tightly connected, go with a single push, advance bravely, rise and fall like drilling arrows, stepping technique in order, this is ’Beng Fist’."
"Smooth step drilling fist with the rear foot kicking, exerting strength relying entirely on both kidney palaces, waist rise and drilling, rise with side fall and drop, kidney rises heart falls, waist as the ruler. Elbow and hands attack together, waist and hips using strength, this is ’Drilling Fist’."
"Oblique step top-picking, bounding and expanding work; body bound small, attacking inwardly; foot first hand later, only then true, this is ’Cannon Fist’."
"Spleen ruling the center, left and right clear distinction, horizontal supports vertical, vertical uses horizontal, yin and yang complement, train into one flow, this is ’Cross Fist’."
...
On the sixth day of the second month, in the twelfth year of Great Yan Hongwu, at the Zao family Hurricane Guard camp, Yan Chuan finished lecturing on the ’Three Body Formation’, and began lecturing ’Five Elements Boxing’.
In the field, Yan Chuan’s two hands formed wheels, rotating to strike three-dimensionally, squeezing force advances, heavy strikes light, movement like wheels, starting hitting and landing hitting like water overturning waves, continuous and unceasing. Tailbone sitting down, Qi sinking to the Dantian, stamping and trembling Absolute Strength.
Turning three rounds and nine turns is a formation!
This is ’Splitting Fist’.
"Brilliant!"
"Exquisite!"
"His boxing is well created, well performed, even better taught!"
On the outskirts of the Hurricane Guard training grounds, four people were watching. Three of them had unfamiliar faces, but one was familiar, none other than the long-absent Shangguan Ji.
Shangguan Ji, watching Yan Chuan perform boxing in the field, turned to the Chunjiang Courtyard’s Deacon Elder ’Qian Guqin’ and the two Inner Court Manager Elders ’An Lu’ and ’Sa Mo’, and laughed, "Don’t be fooled by this Yan God General’s young age, but his self-created ’Xingyi Boxing’, even just this boxing art can be considered at its peak. As he is now performing the ’Five Elements Boxing’ of ’Xingyi’, later you will see him perform the ’Twelve Forms’, and you will understand why Master appointed him to manage the Chunjiang Courtyard’s ’Black Dragon Hall’!"
In the field.
Yan Chuan focused on performing ’Five Elements Boxing’—
Fist and palm entering and exiting, must travel through the middle path, one out one in, stepping technique in order, like a boat navigating the wave head.
Fist punching together with legs, body like crossbow, hands like arrows.
The falling stance like ocean waves rolling, rising also hitting fate dropping, like water overturning waves.
Suddenly his left foot twisted to the right, simultaneously turning his right back, both hands drilling horizontally, right foot twisting and kicking out and retracting, both hands transforming into palms simultaneously falling down, forming a scissor-leg grappling stance. Both hands coordinating, force balanced, hands moving into one flow.
Ping!
A loud sound in the clear sky, it was ’Beng Fist’.
Qian Guqin was watching intently, fully focused, and suddenly struck by a virtual ’Beng Fist’, even though being far away, his heart thudded fiercely, and he broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.
As An Lu and Sa Mo, standing beside him, displayed heavy expressions, An Lu appeared slightly scholarly, frowning and questioning: "Is this person really just a recently advanced Divine General?"
The boxing is terrifying.
Doesn’t seem like it.
"It should be true." Shangguan Ji explained: "This person last appeared at the beginning of last year in Nanxiong City, Nanyue Lake, and even interacted with the Fu family’s Fu Zhe. Fu Zhe also said that Yan Chuan was only a basic breakthrough at that time, and within a year, he gained some creation, advanced rapidly, unexpectedly proving Dao innate, and his strength is extraordinary. However, cultivation-wise, he should still be a solid innate first layer—"
"No, no, no!"
Sa Mo shook his head: "Not innate first layer."
"Hmm?"
"Not?"
Shangguan Ji paused in disbelief, how could it be?
Beside him.
Qian Guqin also said: "Qi and blood surging endlessly, this is after having opened the first of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians ’Charging Meridian’. Bones born in mystery, True Qi traversing, this is already completing the first round of Bone Tempering."
First Charging Meridian.
One round Bone Tempering.
This Yan Chuan is indeed innate second layer!
"How long has it been? Already broken through again?!"
Shangguan Ji was surprised.
He was not innate, but as Zhou Shun’s top disciple, he somewhat understood the innate realm, most aware that cultivating in the innate realm was not easy.
For instance, the two Inner Court Manager Elders and the Chunjiang Courtyard’s Deacon Elder accompanying him were only third-level elders, all innate first rank, without cultivation exceeding the innate fourth layer, and among them, some had struggled for ten years, while Qian Guqin had been proving Dao for nineteen years to reach innate.
Yet they remained first rank.
But Yan Chuan—
"How long?"
"Already innate second layer?"
Shangguan Ji was shocked.
Meanwhile, Qian Guqin and the other three exchanged glances, with An Lu and Sa Mo further frowning, hearts filled with suspicion: "Yan Chuan! Fu Zhe! Could this person potentially be a spy planted into our Lishan Sect by the Fu family?!"
