In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 56 Wudang Nine Yang Skill

Miejue was unaware of Gu Shaoan's thoughts. Seeing the joy on Gu Shaoan's face, she assumed that Gu Shaoan was happy to obtain a divine weapon like the Heaven-Slaying Sword in the future.

Letting Gu Shaoan hold the Heaven-Slaying Sword, Miejue reached into her robes and took out the Wudang Nine Yang Skill that she had just obtained.

Then, he explained the origins of the three martial arts, namely Wudang Nine Yang Skill, Emei Nine Yang Skill and Shaolin Nine Yang Skill, to Gu Shaoan.

"All three types of Nine Yang Skill contain a portion of the original Nine Yang Manual. Just now in the carriage, I tried to circulate the Wudang Nine Yang Skill with my true qi."

"I discovered that nearly half of the meridians involved in the Wudang Nine Yang Skill are similar to those in my Emei Nine Yang Skill. Even if we practice them together, there will be no impact. In fact, I found that practicing them together can make my true qi even more refined."

"You were able to obtain the Wudang Nine Yang Skill this time entirely because of your hard work. You can try to see if you can also cultivate the Wudang Nine Yang Skill."

"If you cannot, do not force it. You can practice it when you have more profound skills in the future."

"If you can cultivate, you must know that you should focus on the Emei Nine Yang Skill and never reverse the order of importance."

After saying that, Miejue handed the book containing the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill" to Gu Shaoan.

After Gu Shaoan took the book, Miejue smiled and said, "If it were anyone else in the martial arts world, even if they presented you with a superior martial art, you must not practice it at any time, and be wary of being tricked."

"Although Zhang Sanfeng had problems teaching his disciples, given the traditions of Wudang and the character of Song Yuanqiao and others, they wouldn't do things like tampering with the manuals. But it's hard to guarantee that others in the martial arts world wouldn't."

“My Emei classics record that Guo Xiang’s birth mother once encountered a villain, who was a famous master in the world.”

"But in the end, he practiced a profound martial art that his master's birth mother had altered, which eventually led to his mental breakdown and reversed meridians."

Gu Shaoan knew who Miejue was referring to, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will be careful."

His obedient appearance made Miejue reach out and pat Gu Shaoan's head.

"Alright, first memorize the contents of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill! For safety's sake, it's best if your master keeps this safe."

Gu Shaoan didn't stand on ceremony, nodded in agreement, and then opened the book in his hand.

"Hold fast to the One, focus your mind on the Dantian. Guide the heart and kidneys, the Kan and Li trigrams, to unite water and fire. Qi arises from the coccyx, ascends along the Du meridian, passes the Jiaji point, rushes to the Yuzhen point, penetrates the three gates, and enters the Niwan point. The spirit guides the clear spring down the Magpie Bridge, crosses the Chonglou point, and warms the Huangting point."

The most advanced internal energy cultivation methods typically contain nearly a thousand words.

It would take an ordinary person several days to memorize these thousands of words.

Gu Shaoan had an exceptional memory; after reading it twice, he had memorized it all.

Even though it wasn't the first time she had experienced Gu Shaoan's memories, Miejue couldn't help but be secretly amazed when she saw Gu Shaoan memorize the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill" after reading it twice in just a quarter of an hour.

When the group arrived at Wudang, it was already past noon.

Now that we've left Wudang, we can't travel very far, so we can only stay temporarily in Yunyang Prefecture, which is about 30 miles away from Wudang.

In the inn, after washing up, Gu Shaoan returned to bed.

The contents of the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill" that I wrote down in the suburbs today flowed through my mind like a gentle stream.

Judging from the account given to him by the extinction, the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill" emphasizes "guiding qi into subtlety".

It emphasizes starting from the three Yang meridians of the hand (Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, and Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian).

The condensed internal energy appears mellow, but in reality it exudes a fierce and powerful aura, combining softness with strength. The Wudang Nine Yang Skill, on the other hand, begins at the "tailbone," connects the Du meridian, and guides the internal energy upward to the "Niwan" (upper dantian), then downward to the "Chonglou" (throat) and "Huangting" (middle dantian).

Finally, it returns to the "Qi Sea" (lower dantian), forming a larger cycle, which further emphasizes the middle way of "water and fire intercourse" and "the mutual assistance of Kan and Li".

Its internal energy seems to be more "gentle and warm," like the early winter sun, generating a warm feeling that nourishes the whole body.

It was precisely because of the gentle nature of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill that Miejue dared to teach it to Gu Shaoan.

After mentally simulating the circulation of his internal energy using the first level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, Gu Shaoan closed his eyes and focused his mind on his lower dantian.

Once he cleared his mind of distractions and his heart stirred slightly, the internal energy that had been flowing smoothly within Gu Shaoan's body seemed to receive a new command and began to operate.

However, the internal energy circulation is different when Gu Shaoan first practiced the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

As the internal energy in Gu Shaoan's body circulated according to the first level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, it flowed like a gentle river without any stagnation.

Internal energy is like the "origin," and with a thought, the path of Wudang appears on its own like an invisible river, with warm streams flowing into it!

It was as if these were two branches of the same martial art, and his internal energy possessed perfect compatibility and transformation capabilities!
Upon discovering this, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm" in his heart, finding it quite peculiar.

Before long, Gu Shaoan's internal energy had reached the coccyx acupoint, and he was about to successfully control his internal energy to complete the first level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

However, the moment the internal force touched the coccyx, it was like a spark falling into dry tinder.

Deep within the once-silent coccyx, a dormant, warm current, like subterranean fire, was suddenly ignited, making Gu Shaoan feel a warm sensation in his coccyx.

This is precisely the fundamental Qi described in the Wudang Nine Yang Skill as "Qi originates from the coccyx".

"Drawing in the yang energy of Kan to fill the yin energy of Li...warm and gentle like the rising sun..."

Gu Shaoan kept the key points of the mental technique in mind and showed no impatience whatsoever.

Passing through the spine, it rushes towards the jade pillow.

There was no difficulty or pain in breaking through the bottleneck as I had imagined; instead, there was only an incredibly smooth feeling of "opening up."

The internal energy, like warm water flowing over a slightly dried-up riverbed, seemed to have its own way home.

A short while later, as his internal energy circulated once according to the route of the first level of the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, the internal energy in Gu Shaoan's body, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, continuously sank into his dantian and became calm.

The next second, a notification message suddenly popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

[Congratulations to the player for achieving minor success in the first level of Wudang Nine Yang Skill, achievement points +50]

The notification popped up in front of him, right below Gu Shaoan's right eye.

Gu Shaoan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't find it strange.

Even though Gu Shaoan has sealed away twenty years of his internal energy, due to the Bodhi Linglong Pill, the internal energy flowing in his body is still equivalent to two years' worth.

In addition, Gu Shaoan has already mastered the first level of the Emei Nine Yang Skill, and half of his path overlaps with the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.

It is only natural that he reached the minor success level on his first attempt at practicing the Wudang Nine Yang Skill.
