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

On the very first night, you mastered the internal energy cultivation method of the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual. It wasn't just a minor achievement, it was a major achievement.

Its effects are even better than you expected. The Northern Darkness Internal Force and the Nine Yin Internal Force run parallel within the body without conflict, each following its own meridians and without interfering with the other.

The Northern Darkness internal energy follows the path of the Free and Unfettered School, while the Nine Yin internal energy follows the path of Huang Chang. The two systems run in parallel, not only without conflict, but also complementing each other to a certain extent.

The Northern Darkness Inner Force gives you almost limitless energy, while the Nine Yin Inner Force makes your inner force of higher quality. It can be said that you have both quantity and quality.

You close your eyes, feel the two internal energies within your body, and a surge of heroic spirit rises in your heart.

The first volume of the Nine Yin Manual has been mastered, but the second volume cannot be overlooked. It contains the specific martial arts techniques, such as the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, Heart-Shattering Palm, White Python Whip, and Great Subduing Demon Fist...

While these items are not as miraculous as the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Six Meridians Divine Sword, they are extremely practical, and when used in conjunction with the internal energy cultivation method of the Nine Yin Manual, their power is at least doubled.

More importantly, the second volume records the "Soul Transfer Technique," a martial art involving mind control.

You have some ideas about this, but they still need to be tested in practice.

[With your current state, you will soon master the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual and then leave Guiyun Manor.]

You told Lu Chengfeng that you wanted to go out and see the world. Lu Chengfeng didn't stop you, but just told you to be careful and come back soon.

You traveled north, passing through the misty rain of Jiangnan, the yellow sand of the Central Plains, and the grasslands beyond the Great Wall. Along the way, you met many people and experienced many things.

In a small alley in Yangzhou, you encounter several thugs bullying a street vendor.

You easily defeated those thugs with just a few punches and kicks, and the vendor was so grateful that he wanted to treat you to a meal.

You refused and turned to walk into the crowd.

In an inn in Kaifeng, you encounter a chivalrous swordsman being hunted by his enemies.

The swordsman was severely wounded and on the verge of death. You bandaged his wounds and gave him a bottle of wound medicine. The swordsman was extremely grateful and said he would definitely repay you when he had the chance. You smiled and said it wasn't necessary.

In a market in Taiyuan, you encounter a group of human traffickers abducting children.

Without hesitation, you drew your sword and killed the human traffickers, saving the abducted children. But you didn't stay to accept their thanks; you continued on your way.

You always feel good after you've done these things.

You don't need much, just the four words "clear-mindedness".

When I see injustice, I intervene.

If you see someone who deserves to be killed, kill them.

I helped those who needed help.

Feeling good after finishing is enough.

In autumn, you unknowingly arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, which is located in Shaanxi Province. It is a famous Taoist mountain and the birthplace of the Quanzhen School of Taoism.

Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen School at Chongyang Palace on Zhongnan Mountain, and was buried there after his death.

You came to Zhongnan Mountain not for the Quanzhen Sect, but also for the Nine Yin Manual.

You vaguely remember that in the original story, Wang Chongyang hid the Nine Yin Manual on the beam of Chongyang Palace, and no one ever discovered it.

Instead of entering Chongyang Palace through the main gate, you climbed over the wall into the backyard. The palace was very large, with halls and pavilions standing side by side. It took you quite a while to find Wang Chongyang's mourning hall.

The mourning hall was small, with Wang Chongyang's memorial tablet in the center. Three sticks of incense were stuck in the incense burner in front of the tablet, and wisps of smoke rose from it.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you searched every corner of Wang Chongyang's mourning hall.

Finally, you looked up at the roof beam. The beam was very high and dark, and you couldn't see what was on it.

With a push of his feet, he activated the Lingbo Weibu technique, floating up like a falling leaf and landing steadily beside the roof beam.

A wooden box sat on the beam, covered in a thick layer of dust, looking as if it hadn't been touched in a long time.

Reach out and open the wooden box. Inside is a thin booklet with four characters written on the cover: "Nine Yin Manual". This is the second Nine Yin Manual you have ever seen.

You've found the first volume, but the second volume is in Huang Yaoshi's hands. Whose is this one?

You opened the booklet and read it from beginning to end. Some of the contents were familiar to you, while others were not.

The first volume contains internal energy cultivation methods and general principles of martial arts, while the second volume contains specific techniques.

This booklet contains both the contents of the first and second volumes, but neither is complete.

Wang Chongyang hid the Nine Yin Manual on the beams of Chongyang Palace, but he didn't tell anyone. He didn't practice it either; he simply didn't want the manual to be lost, so he hid it there.

You put the book back in the wooden box, close the lid, and put it back on the beam.

Since you didn't take it, this scripture doesn't belong to you. Besides, you only need to read it once.

You have memorized all the contents of the booklet, including the parts that Wang Chongyang deleted and modified. These things should be of some help to your cultivation of the Nine Yin Manual.

After leaving Chongyang Palace, you didn't rush back to Yunzhuang. Instead, you rode your horse south, stopping and starting along the way, until you reached Dongting Lake.

You've heard that Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Clan, is a highly skilled martial artist known as "Iron Palm Water-Walking," and is one of the top masters second only to the Five Greats.

You went to find Qiu Qianren not to spar, but to see the Iron Palm Clan's martial arts.

The Iron Palm Gang's headquarters is located on Junshan Mountain by Dongting Lake, and it is a large mountain stronghold.

You found Qiu Qianren and explained your purpose. Qiu Qianren looked at you as you came to his door, and his gaze lingered on your face for a moment.

"You want to see the Iron Palm Clan's martial arts?"

"I'd like to see."

Qiu Qianren was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No. You're not a member of my Iron Palm Gang."

You nodded, didn't insist, and turned to leave.

[The third year has passed, and the entry is being extracted... It has been detected that the host has visited Peach Blossom Island, Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake, and other places within the past year, and has come into contact with many top masters and martial arts manuals...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the green keyword: Photographic Memorization]

[Effect: Significantly enhances memory, upgrading "Photographic Memory" to its full version. Text, pictures, and actions seen only once can be accurately remembered.]

As you look at this term, a slight smile appears on your lips. "Photographic memory"—this is true photographic memory, and it's one of the things you need most right now.

You will encounter more and more martial arts manuals in the future, and having a strong memory will save you a lot of trouble.

Save the entry, close your eyes, and go through everything you've seen in the past few days in your mind.

The Falling Blossom Sword Palm, Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Leg, and Jade Flute Swordplay from Peach Blossom Island; the complete contents of the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual; the version of the Nine Yin Manual recorded in the book on the beam of Chongyang Palace, revised by Wang Chongyang... all these things are clearly etched in your mind, impossible to forget even if you try.

As night deepened, the surface of Taihu Lake shimmered silver under the moonlight, like a giant mirror. In the distance, fishing boats lit up their lights, twinkling like stars reflected in the water.
