Demons and monsters wreak havoc: gain one new confidante every day.

Under the guidance of the Third Sister, Shen You assumed a posture with his limbs twisted and his body resembling a snake.

But his body was so stiff that he couldn't move freely like a snake.

If he practices like this, even after half a month, he still won't be able to get the basics right.

"What method is there?" Shen You's gaze fell on Tian Yi'er beside her.

At this moment, Tian Yi'er was practicing the "White Ape Stance". His body was enveloped by a white ape phantom that seemed to have a physical presence. The white ape phantom expanded and contracted with each of his breaths. His body swayed slightly, yet it gave people a feeling of agility and freedom.

In Shen You's eyes, Tian Yi'er seemed to have truly become a white ape, standing there vividly.

"Xiaotian," Shen You couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask you a question?"

Upon hearing Shen You's voice, Tian Yi'er trembled, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at him with a questioning gaze: "Brother Shen?"

"I want to ask you..." Shen You said, "How do you usually practice your skills? Why are you able to master the 'White Ape Stance' so well?"

"I don't know either..." Tian Yi'er looked bewildered. "I just thought, since this is the 'White Ape Stance,' I'll imagine myself as a white ape. I imagined how a white ape stands, how it breathes, and how it's at ease. As I thought about it, I mastered the skill."

"Imagine yourself as a white ape?"

Shen You narrowed his eyes, feeling he had grasped something, and asked again:

"I remember you also know a technique called 'Mysterious Jade Hand.' How did you learn that?"

The "Mysterious Jade Hand" is rather abstract, and it's impossible to imagine oneself as an animal like a white ape to cultivate it. How can one quickly master it?

Tian Yi'er scratched the back of his head and said with a simple smile, "Since it's the Mysterious Jade Hand, I'll imagine my arm as a piece of Mysterious Jade to cultivate. But I've never seen Mysterious Jade before; I usually cultivate by imagining that smooth, large rock in the stream in the village."

"Is it still based on imagination...?"

Shen You stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Tian Yi'er's talent is undoubtedly exceptional, but talent alone will not prevent him from encountering obstacles on his cultivation path. To truly achieve the same rapid cultivation speed as him, he also needs exceptional comprehension.

This method of cultivation through imagination is clearly a unique secret technique that Tian Yi'er unintentionally mastered.

Of course, this method is easier said than done. After all, unless you are a simple-minded person like Tian Yier, who can easily imagine themselves as a big white ape or a big rock?

Therefore, Shen You felt that she could only learn a little from Tian Yi'er's method and could not completely copy it.

"Anyway, I'll first seriously imagine myself as a snake and see if that can change anything..."

Shen You acted on her thought immediately, taking a deep breath to calm herself down and imagining herself as a snake.

Wandering like a snake, twisting like a snake, lurking like a snake, crawling like a snake...

This was really difficult; Shen You felt that she was distracted almost every moment.

The persistent, excruciating pain in his limbs made it impossible for him to concentrate.

The third sister-in-law took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away Shen You's sweat with tenderness.

Shen You cursed inwardly, "Damn that old devil Huang! If he wanted me to practice martial arts, why did he break my limbs?"

Who can practice kung fu with all four limbs broken?

Isn't this a contradiction?

Shen You gritted her teeth, unable to calm down at all.

"No, there needs to be something that can calm me down... That's it!"

Shen You's heart stirred, and she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Third Sister, call my name!"

"What?" Third Sister was taken aback.

"Just like when you saw me, call my name, confuse me, make me lose my mind!" Shen You explained. "But remember to control your strength, don't really make me lose my mind. In short, you need to find the right balance, just enough so that I can practice without distractions and won't think about anything else!"

"It's about finding the right balance..."

Third Sister hesitated for a moment, then quickly made up her mind and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Her eyes turned cold, her pupils dilated, filling the whites of her eyes and giving her an eerie appearance. At the same time, a chilling aura emanated from her, making her figure momentarily unsteady.

She called out softly, "Shen You... Shen You..."

This was clearly a kind of magic from the Third Sister. As soon as her voice entered Shen You's ears, Shen You immediately became confused.

Shen You felt the world spinning, his vision blurred, and all he could see was San Niang. Moreover, San Niang's figure was extraordinarily beautiful in his eyes.

Shen You couldn't suppress the urge to get closer to San Niang, but this urge wasn't as strong as before, and he was still able to maintain a sliver of clarity.

Clearly, Third Sister did manage to strike a good balance.

If Shen You were to take out the "Fate Jade" at this moment, he should be able to easily break free from this temptation. However, he naturally had no need to get rid of the temptation; he was simply using this dazed state to close his eyes and cultivate the "Golden Snake Eight Transformations."

Sure enough, when he was already out of consciousness, it was easier to immerse himself in the dreamlike moment. In his daze, he felt as if he had truly turned into a snake, writhing and crawling on the ground.

His body began to wriggle naturally, maintaining the "Golden Snake Eight Transformations" posture, squeezing his body even more.

Almost there… He felt it… He was becoming one with the snake… A wondrous power began to emerge within him…

Just as he reached the pinnacle of understanding, excruciating pain struck again.

"Ouch!" Shen You cried out in pain, waking up from her hallucination.

The pain in his limbs intensified, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

"How could this be? My body is contorting even more violently..."

The more contorted the body, the more pain it will naturally cause.

The more pain you experience, the harder it is to concentrate, and the harder it is to master the "Golden Snake Skill".

"This isn't unsolvable... wait a minute!"

Shen You suddenly shuddered, realizing a crucial point.

"It is precisely because my limbs are broken that I can twist so drastically. I approach the snake through my imagination, but my body also needs to be prepared to accept the snake's essence..."

"My broken limbs were my body's way of preparing!"

Shen You suddenly understood.

It turns out that Huang Yaoshi broke his limbs not to hinder his practice, but because he had already planned to make his body adapt to the "Golden Snake Skill".

Snakes are cartilaginous animals; they have no limbs and wriggle on the ground.

Tian Yi'er's method was not wrong; one could cultivate faster by relying on imitation and imagination, and even Huang Yaoshi knew that method well.

To practice the "Golden Snake Skill," one must naturally become more like a snake.

"So, when Huang Yaoshi broke my limbs, he was actually helping me?"

Shen You came to this unbelievable conclusion.

Of course, it's not that Huang Yaoshi had good intentions, but rather that from the very beginning, Huang Yaoshi only wanted Shen You to practice the "Golden Snake Skill".

Shen You couldn't help but wonder, "But why is it 'Golden Snake Skill'? 'Golden Snake Skill' is clearly an inhuman skill, extremely difficult to cultivate, and almost impossible to master."

What was Huang Yaoshi's reason for insisting that I practice the "Golden Snake Skill"?

"Is it because they genuinely value my talent, or... do they have ulterior motives?"
