In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 91 Our own child is always the best (Second update)
Miejue slowly withdrew her finger, her face still showing lingering shock. She stared blankly at Gu Shaoan, her eyes shifting between confusion, horror, and delight.

A moment later, combining Gu Shaoan's description with what she had learned from her investigation, Miejue suddenly understood Gu Shaoan's state at that time.

"An epiphany?"

Overwhelmed with surprise, Miejue unconsciously uttered the words that were on her mind.

Gu Shaoan pretended to be confused, asking with a hint of doubt, "Sudden enlightenment?"

"That's right!" Abbess Miejue's tone was resolute, her eyes shining brightly.

"The path of martial arts emphasizes comprehension and innate talent. So-called 'comprehension' is the ability to understand the natural world, the mysteries of the human body, and the ultimate principles of martial arts! For ordinary people, practicing martial arts step by step, diligently cultivating and practicing, it is already difficult to even enter the inner sanctum."

"But some people in this world are exceptionally talented and blessed with great fortune. Under extremely accidental circumstances, whether due to a mind free of worries or being touched by some extreme state of mind or environment, their minds become clear and they can instantly transcend the constraints of common sense and directly touch the origin of martial arts! This is enlightenment!"

"In this state, the heart and the Dao are in harmony, the spirit and the will are in harmony, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and one's own potential are fully integrated, thoughts flow like a spring, and cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds in a day!"

Miejue took a deep breath, trying to calm her agitated emotions, and said with a more specific example: "In the past, it was said that during the Warring States period, there was a shepherdess who was ignorant of the ways of the world. However, she suddenly realized the true meaning of martial arts and created a martial art called 'Yue Maiden Sword'. She became a peerless master who shocked the world."

"He moved through the King of Wu's palace with three thousand guards as if they were nothing. This is the power of sudden enlightenment!"

She looked at Gu Shaoan as if he were a piece of unpolished jade that had now blossomed with dazzling brilliance: "Although I knew you were exceptionally talented, I never expected you to have such an opportunity. At such a young age, you unexpectedly entered the state of enlightenment and perfectly fused the Wudang Nine Yang Skill with the Emei Nine Yang Skill, creating this unique and unparalleled superior internal skill!"

Extinction's voice was filled with utmost solemnity and deep joy: "The internal energy within your body is exceptionally profound. It transforms into mercury and then into liquid, a state that only occurs when internal energy reaches an extremely terrifying level of purity."

"Its purity even surpasses the internal energy I have cultivated throughout my life. Not to mention your peers, even those who are ten or twenty years older than you are far less profound in their skills."

"With such profound internal strength, the speed at which you open up your meridians will be greatly increased. Perhaps in just a few years, you will be able to open up all eight extraordinary meridians and the bridge between heaven and earth, and then return to your innate state."

As she finished speaking, Abbess Miejue's voice trembled slightly, revealing the excitement she felt.

In Miejue's eyes, Gu Shaoan's temperament, perseverance, and even his comprehension were extraordinary. Looking across the world, there were only a handful of people of his age who could compare with Gu Shaoan.

The only problem is that Gu Shaoan's physical constitution is only excellent.

Therefore, accumulating skill and cultivating internal strength may become more difficult.

Therefore, when Miejue discovered the effects of the "Tendon Changing and Bone Strengthening Chapter" in the Nine Yin Manual, the first person she thought of was Gu Shaoan.

Who would have thought that Gu Shaoan would have such profound luck? At such a young age, and less than a year after he started practicing martial arts, he actually entered the state of enlightenment that martial arts practitioners dream of, and his skills seemed to be bestowed by heaven.

Immediately afterwards, Abbess Miejue asked as if she had just thought of something, "How many levels does your new internal energy cultivation method have?"

Gu Shaoan replied, "At that time, I only comprehended and integrated the first three levels of the two mental techniques, so I only have three levels of mental techniques at present. However, I found that after practicing this new technique, when I practice the first three levels of the Emei or Wudang Nine Yang Technique separately, I feel that it is smooth and unobstructed, without any hindrance."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan recited the mental cultivation techniques and incantations for the first three levels of the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture".

Abbess Miejue's spirits lifted, and she became extremely focused. She stopped speaking and listened intently.

After Gu Shaoan recited it five times, barely memorizing the mental cultivation formula, Gu Shaoan ignored everything else, leaped onto a nearby rock, sat cross-legged, and began to try cultivating according to the mental cultivation method of the first level of the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture".

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan did not disturb them, and quickly returned to his bamboo hut to retrieve two paper umbrellas using his lightness skill.

Back by the bluestone, Gu Shaoan opened one of the paper umbrellas and carefully shielded his master from the falling snowflakes.

He used the other hand to shield himself, standing quietly in the wind and snow, his sharp eyes sweeping across the surrounding bamboo forest, like a stone guardian deity.

A light snow was falling, and the bamboo shadows swayed gently.

Looking at his master, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone and whose aura was gradually becoming more profound and restrained, Gu Shaoan's eyes were peaceful.

For him, whether or not he was keeping secrets depended on who he was and what he was doing.

Although he had only spent a few months with Abbess Miejue, she treated Gu Shaoan with utmost devotion and without reservation.

From the precious "Bodhi Exquisite Pill" to the treasured "Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon" movement technique, and then to the unreserved display of martial arts treasures such as the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" and the "Nine Yin Manual".

Gu Shaoan saw this deep bond between teacher and student, and appreciated the unreserved nurturing and care he received.

Human relationships are always reciprocal.

Everyone has their own secrets, and it's perfectly understandable to keep them to yourself.

Even if it's about keeping something secret, you have to consider what you're hiding.
While Gu Shaoan certainly had his own secrets, he had never considered being stingy with anything within his capabilities that would benefit the sect or his master.

This newly created "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" originates from the two schools of Nine Yang Skill and is inherently related to Emei.

With this "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture," they will surely be able to help their master, Abbess Juechen, and Abbess Wujue to further improve their internal energy cultivation.

This will also enhance the overall strength and foundation of the Emei Sect.

If Gu Shaoan is going to keep such a good thing to himself, what's the difference between him and an ingrate?
Moreover, it's good to have a big tree to shelter under. The more the tree of the sect grows stronger and the more luxuriant its branches and leaves become, the more expansive the world will be for the disciple to soar in.

A cold wind blows through the snow, and the world is still. In this snow-covered bamboo forest, the two people beside the rock blend into the snowy scenery.

After a long while, Abbess Miejue slowly opened her eyes.

She didn't exhale or make a sound, nor did she cause any astonishing phenomena, but her eyes, which had seen countless martial arts wonders and possessed unwavering composure, were now churning with undisguised amazement.

Although he had only practiced it superficially and had not yet mastered the first level of the new internal energy cultivation method, how could someone with such profound martial arts knowledge not see the extraordinary nature of this technique?
Just now, when the true energy was circulating in her body, Abbess Miejue could clearly feel the extraordinary nature of this new cultivation technique.

It can be said that it combines the strengths of two different Nine Yang Skills, and it also eliminates the subtle conflicts and redundancies that should not exist between the two skills, leaving only a sense of perfect unity.

This is no longer just a fusion, but an unprecedented purification, integration, and sublimation based on the foundations of the two schools of Nine Yang Skill.

With just a preliminary attempt, she realized that if she continued to refine this method, the speed and purity of her internal energy condensation, as well as the effect on nourishing and connecting her meridians, would far surpass the simultaneous practice of two Nine Yang Techniques, let alone a single one.

What made her heart flutter and her breathing quicken slightly was the breakthrough opportunity hidden deep within the incantation—"The gate of life and death, the jade key knocks on its own!"

These eight words, like the morning bell and evening drum, struck her long-standing bottleneck, a bottleneck she had been struggling to overcome.

Although she is still far from that legendary realm, the direction this method points her in is no longer a hopeless dead end like trying her luck, but a clear and tangible path that she can clearly perceive.

For Abbess Miejue, her value is immeasurable.

In Miejue's view, the new technique that Gu Shaoan created during his enlightenment was no less impressive than the Nine Yang Manual.

"Indeed, such a technique, if not bestowed by heaven, how could an ordinary person comprehend it?"

Thoughts raced through my mind, and my emotions, like a raging sea, were difficult to calm down for a long time.

Until a snowflake drifted by and landed on Extinction's cheek.

Although the snowflakes melted away with her body heat the moment they touched her cheek, the icy touch brought her back to her senses.

Suddenly I realized that I was not in the bamboo hut, but in the bamboo forest.

Slowly raising my head, I saw an open brown paper umbrella.

Her gaze followed the umbrella handle downwards and landed on the umbrella's owner.

Gu Shaoan stood quietly in the wind and snow, close to the blue stone where she sat cross-legged. His eyes were slightly closed, his breathing long and calm, clearly he was silently circulating his inner energy to resist the mountain's chill, while also engaging in his own cultivation. Snowflakes fell on his shoulders and hair, but he didn't seem to care.

His posture was steady, his arm slightly raised, holding the umbrella that was shielding her from the wind and snow firmly.

"Silly boy."

With Miejue's skill and cultivation, let alone this bit of snow and cold, he could stand in this icy world for a whole day without any harm.

The paper umbrella was useless to her.

But often, what matters is not whether you need it or not, but whether you have it or not.

As teachers, we do our best to care for our students, and we all hope that one day our students will repay us.

It was a small gesture, but the care and concern it revealed in the disciple was like a warm sun in the cold winter, warming people's hearts.

Upon hearing Abbess Miejue's voice, Gu Shaoan, who had been circulating his inner energy with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

When his gaze fell on Miejue, Gu Shaoan asked with a smile, "Master, how do you feel?"

Extinction nodded and said in a gentle voice, "I have already tried it. I believe that my true energy can circulate through your new technique without any problems, and the effect is indeed stronger than that of the 'Emei Nine Yang Skill' and 'Wudang Nine Yang Skill'."

At this point, Extinction asked, "This technique was created when you had an epiphany. Have you thought of a name for this new technique?"

Without hesitation, Gu Shaoan said, "Let's call it 'Emei Nine Yang True Scripture'."

Seemingly surprised that Gu Shaoan would give such a name to the new martial art, Miejue was momentarily stunned.

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "I am a disciple of Emei. This martial art was created by combining two types of Nine Yang Skill. My master has personally tested it and believes that this martial art is not much worse than the Nine Yang Manual. In that case, the name Emei Nine Yang Manual is quite appropriate."

"The Nine Yang Manual of Emei, is it the Nine Yang Manual of the Emei Sect? That's not bad!"

Then, Miejue shook her head and said, "It's just a pity that you haven't been practicing the two Nine Yang Techniques for long and have mastered too little. If you could master both Nine Yang Techniques to a high level, and take advantage of this enlightenment, perhaps the Emei Nine Yang True Scripture would not only have the first three levels."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan appeared quite magnanimous.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the road is made by walking. Now that the first three levels have been created, once I have mastered the Emei Nine Yang Skill and the Wudang Nine Yang Skill to a higher level, I may be able to deduce the subsequent techniques of the Emei Nine Yang True Scripture."

Creating a martial art, especially an internal energy cultivation method, is by no means an easy task.

If one can draw inferences from one instance to another, it would be reasonable to combine the two types of Nine Yang Skill through the effect of sudden enlightenment.

However, Gu Shaoan himself has not yet cultivated the inner cultivation methods of "Emei Nine Yang Skill" and "Wudang Nine Yang Skill". If they can be integrated, there will obviously be a problem.

However, the "Emei Nine Yang Manual" is extremely mysterious, and it is not easy for Abbess Miejue and others to switch to practicing this technique.

It would take at least two or three years to cultivate to the third level.

As long as this initial step is successful, Gu Shaoan can gradually reveal the subsequent cultivation techniques.

In any case, Gu Shaoan's current display of extraordinary comprehension and deduction of subsequent mental techniques are reasonable and will not arouse any suspicion.

Things went exactly as Gu Shaoan had predicted.

Abbess Miejue had no doubt about Gu Shaoan's comprehension: "With your comprehension, you are indeed capable of doing what others cannot. You might even be able to create the subsequent techniques of the Emei Nine Yang Manual."

After thinking it over, Miejue instructed, "However, you should do everything within your means. It is already a rare opportunity to have the first three levels of the Emei Nine Yang True Scripture to further refine your inner strength. Even if there are no subsequent techniques, continuing to cultivate the two Nine Yang Techniques is the best choice. Remember not to be too demanding, so as not to affect your own cultivation."

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, I will not joke about my progress and will definitely act within my capabilities."

Extinction revealed a satisfied smile.

For the first time, Abbess Miejue felt how comforting it was to have a disciple who was both talented and obedient.

Looking at Gu Shaoan, Abbess Miejue couldn't help but think of Abbess Juechen, who had brought Gu Shaoan back to the Emei Sect.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Abbess Juechen.

Then, amidst the swirling snowflakes, Gu Shaoan consulted with Miejue about some recent problems he had encountered in martial arts.

Extinction spoke frankly and without reservation, answering all the questions Gu Shaoan had encountered.

However, Gu Shaoan's mastery of the Golden Summit Cotton Palm, Sunset Sword Technique, and Divine Dragon Three Appearances was almost on par with that of Miejue.

Many questions, once asked, require even the most shrewd and meticulous thought before an answer can be given.

After a series of questions and answers, Gu Shaoan's thoughts and questions gave Abbess Miejue some new ideas and insights into the three martial arts, from which she gained quite a bit.

And so, as dusk began to fall, the master and apprentice concluded their lesson.

However, as the two set off towards the edge of the bamboo forest, Miejue suddenly asked, "What do you think of your three senior sisters?"

Snowflakes fell silently from the sky, and the dense bamboo forest made the cold wind even more biting and piercing.

The question suddenly posed by Abbess Miejue was like a snowflake falling into a calm lake, creating ripples of doubt in Gu Shaoan's heart.

But the next second, Gu Shaoan immediately understood the heavy weight behind his master's seemingly casual question.

Gu Shaoan's next answer will likely concern whether his three senior sisters, Zhao Jingxuan, Bei Jinyi, and Zhou Zhiruo, will be able to learn and master the Nine Yin Manual and the Emei Nine Yang Manual, which Gu Shaoan created.

Having grasped the deeper meaning behind the extinction issue, Gu Shaoan did not answer immediately.

Gu Shaoan knew that Miejue's question was not only a sign of her trust in him, but also largely due to the previous incident involving Ding Minjun, which made Miejue more hesitant.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Shaoan said, "Eldest Sister is upright and prudent, with profound cultivation. She handles matters meticulously, patiently and methodically, and is deeply respected by her fellow disciples. Among the senior sisters, Eldest Sister's style of doing things is most similar to Master's."

"Second Senior Sister Jinyi is approachable, meticulous, and observant, often seeing things that others cannot. She is tactful and reasonable in her actions, and treats people with kindness and propriety. Whether it is coordinating within the sect or communicating with external parties, she can handle things independently."

As for Senior Sister Zhiruo, Gu Shaoan's tone softened naturally, "She has excellent physical attributes, and what's even more rare is her pure and clear mind and kind nature. Although she joined the sect late, she is diligent in her studies and her deep respect and love for her sect are evident. She is truly a rare gem."

Finally, Gu Shaoan turned his gaze to his master, who was walking silently beside him, and changed the subject, saying, "Master has a profound understanding of the world, and naturally knows the character and abilities of the disciples in the sect best."

"To have Master's approval to entrust so many important matters of the sect to Senior Sister Jingxuan and Senior Sister Jinyi is the strongest proof of that trust. As for Senior Sister Zhiruo, she is of pure character and there is no need to worry about her. I believe that whatever decision Master makes, it must be after careful consideration and for the long-term benefit of the sect."

By the end, Gu Shaoan's tone had become somewhat amused.

After listening to Gu Shaoan's words, Abbess Miejue couldn't help but chuckle. She turned her head and glanced at Gu Shaoan, her tone also carrying a hint of amusement: "It seems that Juechen is right. Sometimes, you really are as clever as a fox."

Then, suppressing her last bit of concern, Abbess Miejue said softly, "Jingxuan and Jinyi are on a mission and not on the mountain. I will teach them the 'Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian', the 'Nine Yin Manual', and the 'Emei Nine Yang Manual' when they return."

"As for Zhiruo and Yang Yan, you'll be in charge of them!"

"According to Junior Sister Juechen, Zhiruo and Yang Yan have been staying in your courtyard recently."

When she said this, Abbess Miejue showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; on the contrary, she seemed to be mocking and teasing.

Gu Shaoan replied truthfully, "The eldest senior sister and the third senior sister are not on the mountain. Senior sister Zhiruo is afraid of the dark, so she moved to the disciples' courtyard."

"As for Junior Sister Yang Yan, it was purely because Master Juechen wanted to subtly spur her on and supervise her homework that he placed her in my courtyard."

Extinction smiled and said, "That's fine. You have a calm temperament and are the most self-disciplined in cultivation. As the saying goes, 'One is influenced by one's company.' Zhi Ruo and Yang Yan are a bit lacking in temperament. Spending more time with you and being influenced by you will not be a bad thing."

These words implicitly acknowledged that Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan would permanently reside in Gu Shaoan's courtyard from now on.

After all, the three of them are still young, and they are fellow disciples. They just live in the same courtyard, not in the same room, so what is there to worry about?

Moreover, whether it's Yang Yan or Zhou Zhiruo, if they could really get together with Gu Shaoan in a few years, Miejue would think it's only natural.

In Miejue's view, if a man as outstanding as her own disciple could not be favored by Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan, Miejue thought that there must be something wrong with her eyes.

Your own child is always the best.

The wind and snow carried the master and disciple out of the secluded bamboo forest, and the majestic outline of the Golden Summit of Mount Emei was already faintly visible in the wind and snow.

As Abbess Miejue gazed into the distance at the mountains draped in white, the dark clouds parted slightly, and golden light descended from the sky.

Just like Emei Mountain at this moment, a beam of light has already fallen, waiting for time to brew, and when the dark clouds disperse, golden light will cover the summit of Emei Mountain.
