"The third person is Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the Song Dynasty. He has a fragment of the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual."
"The fourth person is Zhou Botong, Wang Chongyang's junior brother, who has the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual."
"These are all the details of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang. Apart from that, there are no other records of them in the martial arts world."
""
What's the difference between what you said and what you didn't say? I also know that Yihua Palace has the unparalleled Mingyu Gong.
The Yi Jin Jing from Shaolin Temple and the Tai Chi from Wudang are both excellent, but could I beat them in a fight?
Chapter 207 Murong Fu becomes an apprentice; is Mr. Li the legendary wine connoisseur?
After mentally cursing Li Chengqian a hundred and eighty times, the martial arts practitioners below still wanted to struggle a little longer.
"hey-hey!"
"Mr. Li, how skilled is Zhou Botong, Wang Chongyang's junior brother, in martial arts?"
"Please don't misunderstand, I'm just curious."
Li Chengqian gave a crooked smile in response to this question.
"It's hard to say exactly how strong it is; there's no standard."
"But if the Song Dynasty were to hold another Mount Hua Sword Tournament, Zhou Botong would be one of the new Five Greats, do you understand?"
""
I understand, I understand perfectly. You can just tell us directly that we have no hope.
Grandmaster! What can we use to fight him?
Every grandmaster possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, which are coveted by everyone.
But no one tried to steal it.
Because I can’t beat him!
Room No. 1, Xuanzi.
Extinction's forehead was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat.
Others may not know the whereabouts of the complete Nine Yin Manual, but I do!
The Nine Yin Manual is inside the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand. Not only does it contain the Nine Yin Manual, but it also contains the Beggar Clan's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
If this news leaks out, the Emei Sect will surely be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Miejue couldn't help but look out the window.
Mr. Li definitely knows the secret of the Heaven Sword. If he hadn't deliberately concealed it just now, the Emei Sect would be in trouble right now.
Room No. 8, Tianzi.
Murong Fu frowned deeply. He had only two purposes for returning to the Ping An Inn. (683)
The first reason was for the Nine Yin Manual.
Although Huanshi Water Pavilion claims to have collected martial arts from hundreds of schools, they are all second- or third-rate martial arts.
Not only are there few first-rate martial arts skills, but there are also none of the most outstanding martial arts techniques.
If I could obtain the Nine Yin Manual, my martial arts skills would definitely reach a higher level, and my prestige in the martial arts world would be even greater.
This will be of great help to his cause of restoring his country.
Secondly, they came for Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng has now become a notorious villain hated by everyone in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, and he will not let go of such an opportunity to make a name for himself.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu immediately pushed open the door and walked out.
Because he discovered a "loophole" in Mr. Li's words.
“Mr. Li, what you just described is merely the whereabouts of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang swords in the martial arts world.”
"I wonder if these two scriptures are still in existence outside the martial world?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone at the inn was completely baffled.
"Outside the martial world?"
"Is this guy crazy? There's no place outside the martial arts world."
"Even the imperial court is a different kind of martial arts world, and no matter how much the Nine Yin and Nine Yang techniques are passed down, they wouldn't end up in the imperial court."
"The officials in the imperial court don't like martial arts manuals at all."
"The world is a martial arts world, and the martial arts world is..."
The discussion stalled halfway through, and everyone looked up at Mr. Li on the platform.
There really wasn't a place outside the martial arts world before, but it seems like there is now!
If I remember correctly, Zhang Wuji, the grand-disciple of Master Zhang, was struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm.
At the time, Mr. Li said that the only way to cure him was the Yi Jin Jing of Shaolin Temple or the Nine Yang Manual, one of the two great books in the world.
The name "Nine Yang Manual" came into the public eye around that time.
So here's the question: if Mr. Li knew the Nine Yang Manual, where did he learn it from?
Faced with Murong Fu's question, Li Chengqian shook his fan and said calmly, "Strange things always happen outside the martial world."
"Nine Yin and Nine Yang do indeed circulate outside of the martial arts world."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu immediately prepared to perform a grand salute.
His goal was very simple: he wanted to become Li Chengqian's disciple.
"Ugh!"
Li Chengqian spoke up and stopped Murong Fu's actions.
“Young Master Murong, if you are so devoted to martial arts, there is absolutely no need for you to come to me.”
"The Murong family's martial arts are profound and extensive. If you cultivate them to the pinnacle..."
"You will definitely have a place at the pinnacle of martial arts, but your mind is not on martial arts, so you've come to me now."
"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"You've taken the wrong path."
Murong Fu was shocked to hear Li Chengqian's words. Did he know about his plan to restore his kingdom?
Despite his doubts, Murong Fu decided to test him one more time.
"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you please explain?"
“You know in your heart what your Murong family has been striving for generation after generation.”
"Let's not even talk about whether I have the ability to help you. Even if I did, what would you use to ask me to help you?"
"Gold, silver, beautiful women, or fame and fortune—do you think I would care about these things?"
"Go back. Your hopes don't lie with me. Spend more time reading history books; they might be helpful to you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fu bowed again and then returned to his room.
Although he failed to become an apprentice, Murong Fu had an inspiration, which was...
Please ask Mr. Li for help in restoring my country.
Few people paid attention to the conversation between Murong Fu and Li Chengqian. There were plenty of people in the martial arts world who wanted to join Mr. Li's school, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
As for the secrets of the Murong family, no one cared. Everyone has their own little secrets when they're out in the world.
Everyone is only concerned about one thing right now.
Does Mr. Li actually know the Nine Yang Manual?
After a flurry of whispers, a bold man finally stepped forward.
"Mr. Li, do you know the Nine Yang Manual?"
Upon hearing this question, all the experts in the top-tier rooms perked up their ears.
If I knew that Mr. Li knew the Nine Yang Manual, then I could estimate his approximate age.
Once you have a rough idea of his age, you can deduce his background.
Li Chengqian grinned and said, "Guess."
""
Guess what! I bet there's a fire in your house.
"What about the Nine Yin Manual?"
"You can also prepare (two) group guesses." Baju 3 Kyurokuji (four) 0
Faced with Li Chengqian's answer, the江湖汉子 (jianghu man) was speechless.
But in a flash, something suddenly occurred to him.
His expression was strange, and he stammered, "Mr. Li, that extraordinary man who competed in drinking with Wang Chongyang, could it be you?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked.
After careful consideration, everyone found it to make perfect sense.
Knowing the characteristics of Nine Yin and Nine Yang is not very unusual, but knowing the characteristics of cultivating Nine Yin and Nine Yang simultaneously is quite absurd.
The only person who had seen both extraordinary books at the same time was the legendary wine connoisseur mentioned by Mr. Li.
"Hahaha!"
Li Chengqian clapped his hands and laughed.
"This guest is quite joking. That extraordinary person lived nearly a hundred years ago, and I am only twenty-four years old this year."
"He doesn't look like a centenarian at all!"
"Alright, everyone, let's not dwell on this issue anymore."
"Instead of guessing Li's background, you should think about what practical martial arts techniques I should comment on in the next episode of our discussion."
