Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

"Yes!" Duan Yu snapped back to reality and replied respectfully.

“I’ve noticed that your Six Meridians Divine Sword is malfunctioning. Come with me and I’ll give you some pointers.”

"Yes!" Duan Yu was overjoyed and followed without thinking much.

He wasn't originally interested in martial arts, but after being held hostage by Kumārajīva, he realized that only by mastering the Six Meridians Divine Sword could he no longer be threatened.

It's true that Yue Zhuoqun instructed him on the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and it's also true that he wanted to take the opportunity to obtain the ultimate skill.

Duan Yu mistook him for a master from the Dali Duan family and dictated the secret manual without reservation.

"The Six Meridians Divine Sword is based on the One Yang Finger, and the fourth grade One Yang Finger is the entry requirement for this technique."

Since you haven't cultivated the One-Finger Divine Skill, relying solely on your profound internal energy to perform it will naturally result in inconsistent effectiveness.

"From now on, it would be better to focus on the Shaoshang sword style, and then switch to other sword styles once you've mastered it."

Then Yue Zhuoqun explained to him in detail the secrets of activating internal energy.

Duan Yu was intelligent and had a deep understanding of books like the I Ching, so he quickly made a breakthrough.

Following Yue Zhuoqun's instructions, he raised his right thumb and pointed sharply.

Boom!

A stone the size of a millstone, several meters away, was blasted to pieces.

"It really works! Thank you... uh?" she exclaimed excitedly.

He still doesn't know how to address Yue Zhuoqun.

"My name is Yue Zhuoqun."

"what??"

Duan Yu was stunned: "Aren't you from the Dali Duan family?"

"I never admitted that!"

But it was indeed unfair to you that I concealed the truth from you first and then obtained the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

"Alright, you can choose one of the martial arts techniques I mentioned earlier as compensation."

Duan Yu smiled wryly: "Brother Yue first helped me resolve the entanglement with Kumārajīva, and then guided me in cultivating the Six Meridians Divine Sword. How could I possibly ask for compensation again?"

I don't like martial arts at all, so even if you gave it to me, I might not practice it.

Duan Yu inherited Duan Zhengchun's womanizing ways, but he was impeccable when it came to treating people.

Although he was annoyed by Yue Zhuoqun's concealment, he couldn't find fault with him because of the debt of gratitude he had received first.

Moreover, what he said was the truth; he really had little motivation to practice martial arts.

I practiced the Northern Darkness Divine Art because of the fairy sister's jade-like portrait.

The reason for practicing the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) is because it aligns with the principles of the I Ching and is also for escaping danger.

The purpose of learning the Six Meridian Divine Sword was to escape the entanglement of Kumārajīva.

However, Yue Zhuoqun shook his head: "I don't like owing favors to people. Since you're not picky, I'll give you this Lingxi Finger technique."

"Don't worry, this finger technique is different from other martial arts; it focuses on defense and self-preservation, and won't indiscriminately harm people."

Only after hearing this did Duan Yu accept the manual.

"Now we're even, but I still want to exchange something with you."

Chapter 130 The Fairy Sister's Destructive Power

Duan Yu was taken aback. Recalling Yue Zhuoqun's previous conversation with Kumārajīva, a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

Could it be that they want to exchange the scrolls of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Lingbo Steps?

Ever since he saw the jade statue in Langhuan Paradise, it has become his dream goddess, his fairy sister.

The diagram for the cultivation of the Northern Darkness Divine Art was also drawn using the image of the fairy sister's naked body.

After obtaining the scroll, he kept it close to his heart and never let it leave his side.

Whenever the night is quiet, I take it out to find some comfort.

If Yue Zhuoqun really asked for this secret scroll, he wouldn't be willing to part with it.

However, outsiders were unaware that he had obtained the scroll, and it's possible that Yue Zhuoqun wanted to exchange something else entirely.

Thinking of this, Duan Yu felt a little relieved and asked, "Brother Yue, what do you want?"

"The secret manual scroll hidden on the cliff behind the Wuliang Sect is on you, isn't it?"

Duan Yu's expression froze instantly. This was exactly what he had feared!

"H-How do you know?"

"There are very few secrets in this world that I don't know."

Duan Yu looked conflicted and troubled, unsure of how to respond.

"Don't worry, I won't force you."

Yue Zhuoqun knew exactly what he was thinking, and chuckled softly, "All I want is the manual on it; I don't need the scroll. In exchange, I can tell you who the woman in the picture is."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu's eyes lit up, and his heart pounded.

Martial arts manuals are nothing; the fairy sister is what matters.

"Brother Yue, I'm willing to make the trade!"

He eagerly pulled the scroll from his pocket, but paused again when handing it to Yue Zhuoqun.

Inside are nude pictures of a fairy sister, which would make others feel very uncomfortable, as if they were about to be cuckolded.

"If you can't bear to part with it, then forget it!"

"I'm willing to part with it, I'm willing to part with it." Duan Yu said hastily, and then stuffed the scroll into Yue Zhuoqun's hand.

Even so, he kept a close eye on Yue Zhuoqun's movements, fearing that the other party might take the scroll away.

Yue Zhuoqun didn't care about his performance and immediately opened the scroll to carefully read its contents.

As his strength increased, his mental fortitude also became stronger. He was able to remember everything he saw, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had memorized the contents of the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Lingbo Steps.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art truly lives up to its reputation as the most profound and mysterious martial art in the world of Tianlong. It is not only an authentic Taoist technique, but its level has also reached the Transcendental level.

By absorbing the power of others, nearly half of it can be transformed into one's own, without any incompatibility flaws.

It should be noted that even when the Absorbing Power Technique absorbs the power of others, only one-tenth of it can be retained after refinement.

This is the advantage of different skill levels.

The Transcendent Martial Arts correspond to the Innate Realm and are benchmarked against Innate True Qi.

Refining acquired internal energy using this method is naturally incredibly easy.

When other people's mixed internal energy is absorbed and refined by the Beiming Divine Art, its purity can be greatly improved.

Of course, if one does not break through to the innate level, even if one cultivates a mortal-level mental technique, the internal energy generated will still be acquired internal energy.

No matter how refined, it is still inferior to innate true qi.

Only by truly breaking through one's innate limitations can one undergo the final transformation.

The Lingbo Weibu (凌波微步) lightness skill is also quite remarkable, no less than the Fengwu Jiutian (凤舞九天), only the focus is different.

"Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens" mainly refers to flying across the sky, while "Lingbo Steps" refers to quick and agile movement.

After reading it, Yue Zhuoqun rolled up the scroll and returned it to Duan Yu.

His face was filled with resentment as he pleaded, "Brother Yue, you still haven't told me about Fairy Sister's identity!"

Yue Zhuoqun's lips curled up, with a strange meaning: "You heard my conversation with Kumārajīva before. This picture depicts Empress Dowager Li Qiushui of Western Xia."

"Huh? Then, then she must be very old~" Duan Yu swayed slightly.

The image of the fairy-like beauty in my mind suddenly became covered with wrinkles, causing my heart to skip a beat and a chill to run down my spine.

"Although he is old, his appearance should not have changed much. The martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect have the effect of keeping one young forever."

In fact, Yue Zhuoqun was not sure whether the person in the portrait was Li Qiushui or her sister Li Canghai.

Langhuan Jade Cave was originally the residence of Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui.

Both the manual and the jade statue in the cave were made by Wu Yazi. The jade statue was also carved to resemble Li Qiushui, but as he was carving, his mind wandered and he unconsciously replaced it with Li Canghai.

From then on, Wu Yazi became obsessed with the jade statue and ignored Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui was furious. In order to take revenge on Wu Yazi, she found many handsome men to be intimate with in front of Wu Yazi. In the end, she also had an affair with Ding Chunqiu, Wu Yazi's disciple, which completely broke down her relationship with her husband.

What is certain is that the portrait Wu Yazi carried with him and later gave to Xu Zhu was definitely of Li Canghai.

The scroll of this secret manual was drawn even earlier, and only Wu Yazi himself knew who drew it.

In Yue Zhuoqun's heart, he was more inclined to choose Li Qiushui, after all, the two had shared a few years of loving life together.

"Brother Yue, is it true that Fairy Sister hasn't aged?" Upon hearing Yue Zhuoqun's words, a hint of anticipation reappeared in Duan Yu's eyes.

Yue Zhuoqun's eye twitched. Even this couldn't dissuade the kid?
