Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 55: Watching the Sword
Lin Yi bowed to Yideng and Duan Zhengming as a return gesture.

The Duan family was originally a martial arts family in the Central Plains. Although they proclaimed themselves emperors in Dali, they retained their ancestral traditions for hundreds of years.

Although Duan Zhengming was the emperor of Dali, he never relied on his status. Whenever martial artists from the Central Plains came to visit him or seek revenge, he would treat them according to the rules of the martial arts world and observe the etiquette of the underworld.

Duan Zhengming said, "I have a nephew named Duan Yu. He was fortunately saved by Sect Leader Lin in Wuliang Mountain. I haven't thanked him yet."

After saying this, he stood up and saluted.

Lin Yi returned the greeting and said after a moment's hesitation, "Is the reason you three are looking for me today related to Duan Yu?"

Duan Zhengming sighed, "Master Lin's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and his strategy is extraordinary. I admire him."

Duan Zhengming then told the truth - Duan Yu was abducted, and Duan Yanqing, the leader of the four evil men, captured Mu Wanqing, gave them both aphrodisiacs, and imprisoned them in a stone chamber.

These two are brother and sister. If they do something shameful, the Duan royal family will lose face.

Lin Yi was surprised, but not surprised. He lifted the veil of Mu Wanqing and changed her fate, but Duan Yu's fate was not affected. Of course, this disaster would happen.

He knew clearly that Duan Yanqing had a special status, and Duan Zhengming's throne should be his.

Duan Zhengming and the high monks of Tianlong Temple were reluctant to attack Duan Yanqing.

Lin Yi said, "I have met both of them, brother and sister. If so, I will go to Wanjie Valley. Please prepare a fast horse and a guide."

Duan Zhengming and Yideng exchanged glances, each thinking, "We haven't even asked him for help or discussed compensation, and he's already offered to help us. Just a single encounter, and he's already gone this far..."

Duan Zhengming sighed sincerely, "It's rumored in the martial arts world that Sect Leader Lin is a disciple of the Gentleman Sword, a man of unparalleled righteousness and chivalry. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved!"

Yideng said, "Master Lin came here for the Six Meridians Divine Sword. The Duan family's ancestral rules are strict, so we can only decline."

"However, the Prince of Zhennan will be the heir to the throne of Dali in the future. The fate of the people of the entire nation depends on him. In this urgent matter, we must act swiftly. Tianlong Temple is willing to present the Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual to Master Lin for his inspection. Master Lin, please take action."

Lin Yi's face was full of sternness, and he thought that he should refuse at this time. After all, Duan Yu was in imminent danger, and even if the other party took the initiative to propose, there would be suspicion of taking advantage of the situation.

However, Ku Rong remained silent facing the wall, obviously unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice but to compromise. After a bit of tug-of-war, he got out of control and the Six Meridians Divine Sword flew away, which was funny!

Lin Yi bowed and said, "Thank you for your help. After this matter is over, I will handwrite the Nine Yang Manual and present it to you to drive away the Great Wheel King."

Ku Rong, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Although the Nine Yang Manual is good, Tianlong Temple already has the two great martial arts, One Yang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword. It's better to bite off more than you can chew. It may not be enough to cultivate the skills until you can master them."

"As for Mahalakshatra, he has sent a letter to Tianlong Temple. Master Lin is not from this temple. Even if we can repel the enemy, how can he accept it?"

The meaning of these two sentences is clear: they neither want the "Nine Yang Manual" nor want him to repel the enemy.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly. This old monk is really a stubborn donkey.

He changed his mind and thought, "You can take the Nine Yang Manual or not. As for Jiumozhi, can't we just stop him on the road?"

"Master, you are detached from the world. I admire you. If Tianlong Temple or the Duan Clan ever needs anything from you, please send a letter to Huashan. I will do my best to fulfill it."

Duan Zhengming and others nodded slowly, not caring too much about the gains and losses of this transaction.

Lin Yi's reputation is growing, and Duan admires his achievements. Giving him the Six Meridians Divine Sword can be regarded as promoting the magical skills of Tianlong Temple.

Moreover, he is very young, yet he already has such power. It is expected that he will dominate the Central Plains martial arts world for decades to come. It is a worthwhile investment for the Duan family to establish a good relationship with him.

After this matter was settled, Ku Rong asked someone to take out the Six Meridians Divine Sword diagram. Duan Zhengming was a layman, so he immediately prepared to leave the wooden house.

Kurong said, "Zhengming, I still need your service in dealing with Mahalakshatra, but you must shave your head and learn swordsmanship, and then return to secular life after defeating the enemy."

The Dali Kingdom lasted for over a hundred years, and several crises were averted thanks to the Tianlong Temple. It was the foundation of the country, so Duan Zhengming certainly had no objections.

Duan Zhengming bowed and said, "Master, please give me the tonsure."

Then Ku Rong used his finger power to ordain Duan Zhengming, bestowing upon him the Dharma name Ben Chen. Then, three old monks took out six diagrams and hung them in front of them one by one.

Lin Yi looked at it carefully. The picture showed a human body with acupuncture points marked on it. The paths of the six meridians were drawn in red and black lines, and then there were some crisscrossing straight lines, circles and arcs.

Ku Rong gave the order and asked Duan Zhengming to sit in front of the sixth spectrum chart, while Lin Yi continued to look at the six charts.

"Ben Chen, the Six Meridians Divine Sword transforms finger force into sword energy. It has substance but no form, and can be called the Invisible Qi Sword. You have already learned the basics of this sword technique. You only need to memorize the diagram and master it..."

Ku Rong taught Duan Zhengming, and Lin Yi just watched him practice swordplay, so of course he wouldn't give him any pointers.

But at this moment, Lin Yi was immersed in swordsmanship and didn't hear a word he said.

After more than two hundred breaths, Lin Yi carefully browsed through the six charts and closed his eyes to ponder.

Yideng smiled, and several old monks of the same generation looked puzzled. Ku Rong said, "Hey, this Master Lin has a photographic memory!"

Lin Yi's comprehension and aptitude were truly extraordinary. After closing his eyes and concentrating for a quarter of an hour, he had mastered the six charts' energy paths. However, the Six Meridians Divine Sword was extremely profound, and still possessed some obscure aspects.

His mind moved, and small words appeared.

[Available points: 76 points]

[Available points: 7 Grade A points]

"A-level points are hard to come by, but even if you earn them, you have to spend them. If I max out my Root Bone, what will happen?"

He hesitated no more.

[Root Bone: 95 → 100]

[Comprehension: 80 → 82]

All of a sudden, Lin Yi felt his whole body become light and airy, his internal strength increased by two or three percent, and with every breath he took, he seemed to become one with the world.

The body is also sticky, probably because of the excretion of impurities in the body...

[Charm: 85→89]

[Six Meridians Divine Sword: 64]

"Really cool!"

Lin Yi thought that once his comprehension was maxed out, these ordinary points would be of little use.

[Six Meridians Divine Sword: 64→80]

[Available points: 60 points]

[Available points: 0 Grade A points]

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

Duan Zhengming was already practicing on the side. He used his internal strength and true energy came out of his ring finger.

Lin Yi stood up and said goodbye: "There is no time to lose, I will rush to Wanjie Valley to rescue the Prince of Zhennan and the Princess."

"They are not in danger right now, and there is no need to rush." ​​Ku Rong held up the Buddha's hand and said, "Master Lin is a rare martial arts genius. Our temple's Six Meridians Divine Sword is profound. I wonder how much Master Lin has mastered. I dare to ask for your advice."

Lin Yi sat down again and said calmly, "Master Kurong wants to test me. How dare I disobey your orders? Please teach me."

Duan Zhengming stopped practicing, and Yideng and several old monks all looked at the two of them.

Kurong smiled, but didn't turn around to face him. Instead, he raised his right hand, stretched out his thumb and pressed it down. With a sharp sound, his strength burst out!
Thumb, Shaoshang Sword!

The sword energy came like lightning, but Lin Yi remained calm. He raised his right hand and made a sword gesture, bending three fingers and extending his index finger and little finger.

呲!
With the index finger, Shangyang sword shot out.

The two forces collided with each other, and with a snap, Master Kurong's Shao Shang sword consumed some of its power, but it still shot forward.

Another stream of air shot out from Lin Yi's little finger, Shao Chong Jian!

With a snap, Master Kurong's Shaoshang Sword disappeared.

Inside the wooden house, everyone exclaimed!
Lin Yi blocked Ku Rong's sword with his two swords. It all happened in an instant. The two sounds merged into one. In addition, the sword energy was invisible, so ordinary masters might not know what happened.

But everyone in the room had practiced One Finger Zen and Six Meridians Divine Sword, so they could certainly see the subtleties in them and figure out Lin Yi's intention behind his moves.

All the monks could see that Lin Yi had profound internal strength, and he could easily block Master Kurong's Shaoshang Sword with one sword.

However, thanks to the sword passed down to him by Tianlong Temple, he was focused on defending himself, carefully controlling his sword energy so as not to hurt anyone or destroy anything.

First use the flexible Shangyang sword to test the strength of Ku Rong Shao Shang sword, and then use the light and swift Shao Chong sword to block it.

To be able to practice the Six Meridians Divine Sword to this level in such a short period of time shows his extraordinary talent!

The combination of the two swords and the successive strikes was truly exquisite, showing that he had rich experience in facing enemies and extremely strong internal strength.

Even from a single exchange, we can see that he is neither arrogant nor impatient, and has a kind character who knows how to repay kindness.

How can we not be amazed by such a talented young man with strong talent, profound martial arts skills, chivalrous spirit and benevolence?
