Devour: Can you also draw entries from clone projection worlds?

After the start of spring, you finally received the news you wanted.

Lu Chengfeng tells you that his master, Huang Yaoshi, is celebrating his fiftieth birthday, and there will be a banquet on Peach Blossom Island.

Although he had been expelled from his master's school for many years, Huang Yaoshi did not strip him of his martial arts skills, and the bond between master and disciple still existed to some extent.

So, he decided to go to Peach Blossom Island to celebrate his master's birthday and asked if you wanted to come along. You readily agreed.

The ship sailed on the sea for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, you finally saw the outline of Peach Blossom Island.

The island is small, but beautiful, covered with peach blossoms whose pink petals resemble rosy clouds in the morning light.

After the boat docked, Lu Chengfeng led you along a stone-paved path.

Rows of peach trees lined both sides of the road, their blossoms in full bloom. When the wind blew, the petals fluttered down, carpeting the ground with a thick layer.

You followed Lu Chengfeng into the center of Peach Blossom Island, where you saw Huang Yaoshi sitting in a stone pavilion, dressed in a green robe, with a thin face, holding a jade flute in his hand, playing it.

The melodious sound of the flute echoed through the peach grove, like a mountain spring flowing.

Standing at a distance, looking at the "Eastern Heretic" of the Five Greats, you feel a surge of indescribable emotions.

Among the Five Greats, it seems that only Huang Yaoshi, despite being of ordinary birth and lacking any inherited martial arts skills, managed to rise to the top through his own efforts. He possessed unparalleled martial arts skills and exceptional talent, but his slightly eccentric personality and unpredictable behavior made him both respected and feared...

Lu Chengfeng stepped forward, knelt down and bowed: "Master, your disciple has come to wish you a happy birthday."

Huang Yaoshi stopped playing his instrument and glanced at you. His gaze was indifferent, devoid of any expression.

"Get up," Huang Yaoshi said. "Who did you bring?"

"Master, he is the son of an old friend, named Wei Wen. His father and I were acquainted, and he entrusted me with his care before his death. I brought him here so that he could broaden his horizons."

Huang Yaoshi glanced at you, his gaze lingered on you for a moment, and then looked away.

"What did you teach him?"

"Falling Blossom Sword Palm, Whirlwind Sweeping Leaves Kick, and Jade Flute Sword Technique are all basic skills of Peach Blossom Island."

Huang Yaoshi nodded without saying a word, picked up the jade flute again, and continued playing.

You stand behind Lu Chengfeng, quietly listening to the sound of the flute. You know that Huang Yaoshi has noticed you.

It's not because you did anything remarkable, but because of the Northern Darkness Inner Force within you.

Although you have tried your best to restrain yourself, it is impossible to completely hide your abilities in front of a top master like Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi's glance just now was a test. Fortunately, you were prepared and disguised your Northern Darkness Inner Force as ordinary Peach Blossom Island Inner Force. Although it was much stronger than Lu Chengfeng's, it wasn't enough to arouse Huang Yaoshi's suspicion.

You stayed on Peach Blossom Island for three days.

During the day, he attended Lu Chengfeng's birthday banquet, and at night he wandered around the island alone.

You tried to find the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual, even though you knew in your heart that the chances were slim.

According to the original story, the first volume was hidden by Zhou Botong in a cave on Peach Blossom Island, but you don't know the exact location.

On the third night, you finally found the cave at the bottom of a cliff.

The cave was well hidden, with the entrance concealed by vines. You pushed aside the vines and squeezed in sideways.

The cave was small, with only a few stone tables and benches, and a copper lamp on one of the tables, the oil of which had long since dried up.

Several old wooden crates were piled up in the corner, containing some books and miscellaneous items.

You flipped through it, and as expected, you didn't find the Nine Yin Manual, but you weren't disappointed.

Instead of leaving immediately, you closed your eyes and used the concept of "harmony between man and nature" to perceive the flow of primordial energy and the flow of qi within the cave as much as possible.

Soon, you notice something slightly different. You walk over, squat down, and tap the ground with your hand. The sound is hollow, and there's nothing underneath.

You grip the edge of the stone slab with your fingers and pry it open.

Below is a small stone box containing a thin booklet with four characters written on the cover: "Nine Yin Manual".

You open the booklet, and it's filled with dense writing, including some diagrams of the human body's meridians.

The first volume mainly contains internal energy cultivation methods and general principles of martial arts, without specific moves. You used your photographic memory to memorize the contents of the first volume word by word, then put the book back in the stone box, closed the stone slab, and restored the vines to their original state.

Stepping out of the cave, you stand on the edge of a cliff, gazing at the distant sea. Moonlight spills across the surface, creating shimmering waves that sparkle like countless diamonds.

I've got the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual. The second volume is in Huang Yaoshi's hands; getting it won't be easy, but it's not entirely impossible. You have plenty of time.

The next morning, you left Peach Blossom Island with Lu Chengfeng.

As the ship sailed away from the harbor, you glanced back at Peach Blossom Island. The island was covered in peach blossoms, which looked like a pink cloud in the morning light, so beautiful it seemed unreal.

Huang Yaoshi stood at the highest point of the island, playing his jade flute. The sound of the flute drifted on the wind, melodious yet desolate, as if bidding farewell, or as if talking to himself.

You looked at him for a few seconds, then turned and went into the cabin.

You secretly thought to yourself that next time you come to Peach Blossom Island, you won't be so sneaky anymore.

Next time, you will walk into Huang Yaoshi's study with your head held high and take away the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual.

They returned safely to Guiyun Manor.

[Year Two Complete, Entry Extraction in Progress... Detected that the host has found and successfully memorized the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the green entry: Nine Yin Manual]

[Effect: Greatly enhances understanding and comprehension of the Nine Yin Manual. When practicing martial arts related to the Nine Yin Manual, the effect is increased by 50%, and the speed is increased by 100%. The effect is significant when used in conjunction with the Nine Yin Manual.]

[Currently, there are a total of 6 green entries]

"As expected, the system is still using the same old tricks." You looked at this entry and couldn't help but smile.

The entry for "Nine Yin Manual Explanation" is exactly what you need right now. With this entry, your cultivation of the Nine Yin Manual will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Back in your room, you close the doors and windows, light an oil lamp, and begin to mentally recite the contents of the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual.

You are very confident in your memory; you have a photographic memory that allows you to remember every word and every picture.

But there are two different things when it comes to writing. Keeping words in your mind and writing them down on paper are different things. Writing them down is for the purpose of studying and pondering them repeatedly in the future.

By the time you finished reciting the Nine Yin Manual from memory, it was already late at night. You proofread it from beginning to end to make sure there wasn't a single mistake, then folded the paper and put it close to your body.

Next comes cultivation.

The first volume of the Nine Yin Manual records a complete set of internal energy cultivation methods and martial arts principles. The methods are not complicated, but one needs an extremely profound foundation in martial arts to understand their true meaning.

Back in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, you cultivated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, accumulating a total amount of internal energy over thousands of years.

He cultivated the Tai Xuan Scripture in the world of Xia Ke Xing, which transformed his internal energy once again.

Having honed his swordsmanship for twenty years in the world of Swordsman, his understanding of martial arts far surpasses that of ordinary martial arts masters.

In your opinion, although the Nine Yin Manual is profound and its principles are excellent, it is nothing compared to what you have practiced before.
