Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Guo'er, calm down.

Upon hearing those four words, Xiaolongnu instantly came to life.

She suddenly stood up, the movement so forceful that it overturned the stool behind her.

"Are you sure it's the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"

Her voice trembled, and her eyes shone with an astonishing light.

That is the highest level of internal energy cultivation technique that the Ancient Tomb Sect has lost for a long time!

Before his death, my master kept thinking about how, although our ancestral master created this divine skill, she passed away before she could pass it on to her disciples. She left only the sword techniques, but not the inner cultivation method.

Without the cultivation method, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique is just a showy facade, unable to unleash its full power.

This is why, despite her diligent practice, she has consistently struggled to make any progress in her skills.

"I don't know many words either, but it looks like it anyway."

Yang Guo scratched his head, looking rather naive. "And there were a lot of little figures drawn in the back, which looked rather embarrassing, so I didn't dare to look closely."

"Embarrassing?"

Xiaolongnu was taken aback, then remembered what her master had said: this cultivation method was extremely special.

"Quick! Take me to see this!"

Little Dragon Girl grabbed Yang Guo's wrist with astonishing strength and dragged him toward the stone chamber where the coffin was kept.

All the complex emotions from before were thrown to the winds at this moment.

Yang Guo stumbled and fell as she pulled him along, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Hehe, they've taken the bait.

Once you've practiced the "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," you'll need two people to work together.

They even have to take off their clothes to practice.

At that time...

As Yang Guo watched Xiaolongnu's hurried departure, the treacherous spirit of Cao Cao burned fiercely in his eyes.

Oh, Sister Dragon, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep.

I've gone to great lengths to promote our Ancient Tomb Sect and to help you defeat that female demon, Li Mochou.

I, Yang Guo, accept this sacrifice!

Even if it means being completely honest with each other, I will never flinch!

The burial chamber where the stone coffin is placed is the place with the heaviest yin energy in the ancient tomb.

Aside from worshipping the ancestral master, Xiaolongnu rarely sets foot in this place.

At this moment, the two stood in front of the stone coffins.

"Which bite?" Little Dragon Girl's breathing was a little rapid, and she hadn't let go of Yang Guo's hand.

Yang Guo pointed to the empty stone coffin in the far corner: "That one."

That coffin was next to the coffin where Yang Guo discovered the Nine Yin Manual.

Xiaolongnu released Yang Guo and quickly stepped forward. She channeled her inner strength and used both hands to brace against the heavy coffin lid.

"rise!"

With a creaking sound, the lid of the stone coffin, weighing hundreds of kilograms, was slowly pushed open.

A musty, stale smell wafted over.

Little Dragon Girl didn't care about any of that. She took out a tinderbox from her bosom and leaned over to shine it into the inside of the coffin lid.

The firelight flickered.

Sure enough, the stone slab, which should have been flat and smooth, was now densely covered with tiny characters.

Although the characters are small, they are deeply engraved in the stone, with sharp strokes and an air of arrogance.

"To master divine skills, one must first sever human desires..."

Little Dragon Girl softly recited the opening outline, her eyes growing brighter with each word.

"The Qi flows through the Taiyin meridian, reversing its flow, harmonizing Yin and Yang, and the Jade Maiden is initially formed..."

It really is the internal energy cultivation method of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!

And it's the full version!

Little Dragon Girl gently stroked the engraved words with her fingers, her fingertips trembling slightly with excitement.

With this mental cultivation method, the martial arts left by the patriarch are now truly complete. The key points that were difficult to grasp in the past are now just a natural progression.

Even if the Quanzhen sect members cause a lot of trouble, this merit should be enough to protect the ancient tomb.

"Sister Long, is this really a treasure?"

Yang Guo leaned closer, his head almost resting on Xiaolongnu's shoulder, pretending to look inside curiously.

In fact, he already knew the origins of this story: the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was the culmination of Lin Chaoying's life's work in order to counter the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect. As for the inscriptions left by Wang Chongyang, they were merely a method of breaking the spell that he had come up with later, relying on the Nine Yin Manual.

But he has to pretend.

"Um."

Little Dragon Girl nodded, a rare occurrence, a long-lost smile appearing on her face. This smile melted away like ice and snow, leaving Yang Guo slightly stunned.

"This is the internal energy cultivation method that our school has lost for a long time."

Little Dragon Girl turned her head and looked at Yang Guo, her eyes softening. "Guo'er, you have done a great service this time."

"Hehe, as long as Sister Long is happy, that's all that matters."

Yang Guo seized the opportunity, asking, "So, can I learn this skill too?"

Little Dragon Girl pondered for a moment.

The Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts have never been passed on to outsiders, but what if Yang Guo were made an insider?

"Pah!" Little Dragon Girl cursed herself inwardly for being improper.

Although Yang Guo is temporarily residing in the Ancient Tomb, he is still nominally a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and according to ancestral teachings, he should not be taught this technique. However, since he discovered this mental cultivation method and has made a great contribution this time, it would be somewhat unreasonable to refuse it outright…

Moreover, she had just glanced at it and knew that this cultivation method was extremely dangerous, requiring a balance of Yin and Yang. If one person were to force themselves to practice it, the internal heat would not be able to dissipate, making it very easy to suffer a qi deviation. Currently, in this ancient tomb, he was the only man who could cooperate with her.

The ancestral master died of depression because of this.

If there were a man assisting from the side...

Little Dragon Girl glanced at Yang Guo.

Although this kid is usually glib and unserious, he has exceptional talent and ten years of pure internal energy protecting him.

They are simply a match made in heaven... for cultivation partners.

"Can."

Little Dragon Girl nodded. "But this martial art is extraordinary, and it's extremely dangerous to practice. If you're afraid of dying, it's not too late to regret it now."

"I'm not afraid!"

Yang Guo pounded his chest loudly, "For Sister Long, I'm not afraid of going through fire and water, what's a little martial arts training?"

"it is good."

Without further ado, Xiaolongnu said, "From this day forward, we will practice sword techniques during the day and mental cultivation techniques at night."

"No problem!" Yang Guo agreed readily.

"but……"

Little Dragon Girl pointed to the lower half of the coffin lid, her face slightly flushed, "The cultivation method behind this is somewhat special."

Yang Guo looked in the direction she was pointing.

On the back were several diagrams illustrating the practice of martial arts.

The picture shows two people, a man and a woman, with their palms facing each other.

The key point is that these two people were completely naked.

Next to it was a line of small print: "When practicing this skill, the body will generate heat. You must open your clothes to allow the heat to dissipate without obstruction. Otherwise, if it accumulates in the body, it will cause serious injury."

Yang Guo was laughing inwardly, but on the surface he pretended to be terrified.

"Huh? This... this means I have to take my clothes off?"

He clutched his chest, looking embarrassed. "Sister Long, this...this isn't appropriate, is it? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, and I'm still a virgin!"

Yang Guo could lie without batting an eye.

The little dragon girl was amused by his affected manner, and her initial shyness was greatly diminished.

"What are you thinking?"

She put on a stern face. "This is training; you just need to clear your mind. This is also for your life. If you don't want to, then don't train."

"Practice! We must practice!"

Yang Guo quickly lowered his hand, his face full of righteous indignation, "What is this sacrifice for the sake of the great path of martial arts? At worst... at worst, Sister Long, you can just close your eyes!"

Xiaolongnu was utterly shocked by Yang Guo's train of thought. Who really suffered the loss?

Why do you want me to close my eyes?

Am I no longer a virgin?
