From the moment he became the Blue Silver Emperor of Douluo Continent

Shaolin Temple on Mount Song is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism.

Throughout history, there have been countless stories about Shaolin. This eventually led to the saying that all martial arts under heaven originated from Shaolin.

Of course, in this day and age, Shaolin does not yet have this prestige in the martial arts world.

Although it was a major martial arts sect, its prestige was far less than that of later generations.

Furthermore, many people in this era went to Shaolin Temple to secretly learn martial arts.

From distant figures like Wu Yazi and his fellow disciples, to more recent figures like Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo.

Shaolin doesn't forbid them from learning at all; if they want to, they can learn. Because the more one practices Shaolin martial arts, the more one needs to meditate and comprehend the Tao, and study Buddhist scriptures.

In the end, they all had to come to Shaolin Temple to become monks and contribute to the development and growth of Shaolin.

Why would they try to stop it?

They even wished that more martial arts masters from all over the world would come and learn their skills.

Shi Yin once again left his horse at a resident's house at the foot of the mountain and went up the mountain alone.

This time, he plans to be a thief.

If Murong Bo can do it, Xiao Yuanshan can do it too, so why can't Shi Yin do it?

So when Shi Yin arrived at Shaolin Temple, he bypassed the messy monks' quarters and headed straight for the Sutra Repository.

This is also a disaster area where all sorts of stories frequently occur.

Fortunately, it was quite quiet here when Shi Yin arrived.

The sweeping monk didn't jump out to stop him from going in.

Although there was already an uninvited guest inside, it didn't matter. They didn't bother each other.

The one who secretly learned the Seventy-Two Ultimate Skills, which Shi Yin also possessed, came for the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing.

Shi Yin didn't know whether this guy was Murong Bo or Xiao Yuanshan; he didn't recognize either of them.

He activated his mental energy detector and carefully scanned the entire library.

They then discovered two scriptures hidden in a secret compartment.

They also discovered the location of the sweeping monk. Fearing that the monk could sense their mental scan, Shi Yin only scanned the area briefly before moving on.

He carefully entered the library, using his blue silver domain to conceal his figure and aura.

Upon reaching the hidden compartment, he used his mental energy to envelop the two scriptures and stored them in his storage soul tool.

Having obtained the item, Shi Yin did not linger and turned to leave.

By the time the next day arrived, Shi Yin had already booked a hotel room in a nearby city.

I am currently studying the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing that I just acquired.

The internal energy cultivation methods inside are indeed profound, and can be called a divine skill manual.

However, compared to internal energy cultivation methods, Shi Yin prefers to call these two scriptures body-strengthening techniques, one Yi Jin and the other Xi Sui.

These are all exercises that can fundamentally improve physical fitness.

If one truly achieves mastery of Yi Jin or Xi Sui, one can possess immense strength, even exceeding a thousand jin.

If you practice both books together, you could probably develop a body with superhuman strength capable of lifting a cauldron.

Most importantly, Shi Yin also possesses martial arts techniques such as Golden Bell Cover, Iron Shirt, and Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, which can be combined to create a complete set of body-refining methods for tempering the skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, and marrow.

Isn't this the martial arts of immortals?

Shi Yin immediately became interested. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to put together a complete set of body-refining techniques?

These body-strengthening techniques each have their own core training methods and different internal energy cultivation methods, making it quite difficult to integrate them.

However, Shi Yin planned to remember this incident and try to create such a technique when he was capable enough in the future.

For now, all we can do is try practicing these two techniques to experience the wonders of Yi Jin and Xi Sui.

More than ten days later, Shi Yin finally left the small town.

The Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing are indeed difficult to master. Let alone extracting the martial arts principles within them, even practicing them is very difficult.

Furthermore, the effects of Yi Jin and Xi Sui are not very obvious and require long-term adherence.

Shi Yin sighed deeply; fusing cultivation techniques was truly not an easy task.

Next, he planned to go to the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, his goal being the Daoist scriptures stored there.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had already begun compiling the Daoist Canon, and Huang Chang should have already been compiling the "Wanshou Daozang".

At this time, Huang Shang should still be a middle-aged civil official. It would be more than ten or twenty years before he was ordered to suppress the Ming Cult and his family was destroyed. It would be even more fifty or sixty years before he created the Nine Yin Manual.

After arriving in Tokyo, Tokigami discovered that the organization compiling the Daoist canon in this era was called the Book Art Bureau.

Huang Shang was not even in Tokyo.

Fortunately, there were indeed many Taoist classics in the palace, and Shi Yin casually took quite a few.

The Song Dynasty imperial palace was not entirely undefended; there were skilled fighters inside.

Since the martial arts world exists, how could these people not see the role of martial artists in it?

Therefore, the imperial palace was actually quite heavily guarded, especially the emperor's residence, which was protected by many skilled guards.

However, Shi Yin didn't come here to cause trouble for the emperor, so he didn't need to deal with these experts.

He walked around for a while, and no one noticed that he had been there at all.

After that, he found a Taoist temple nearby, donated some money for incense, and began to study Taoist scriptures with the Taoist priests there.

The Yellow Court Classic, the Pure and Tranquil Classic, the Five Thousand Words of Tao Te Ching, and so on.

I don't aspire to become a grandmaster of Taoism, but at least I should enter the gate of Buddhism, just like the Buddhists.

Several months later, Juxianzhuang issued a call to arms, inviting heroes from all over the land to denounce Qiao Feng of the Khitan and rid the people of this scourge.

To put it bluntly, it was all about fame and fortune. The two heroes of Juxian Manor and the famous doctor Xue Muhua invited heroes from all over the world to ambush and kill Qiao Feng in order to gain fame.

Qiao Feng knew that Juxian Manor was a deadly trap, yet he still carried the seriously injured and unconscious A'Zhu alone to the manor, just to save A'Zhu's life.

Upon hearing the news, Shi Yin immediately left the Taoist temple and rushed to Juxianzhuang.

In just a few days, he arrived outside Juxianzhuang, but did not go in.

He waited for Qiao Feng to arrive outside Juxianzhuang.

What was he going in there for, that rabble?

He came only for the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Two days later, Qiao Feng appeared with the seriously injured and unconscious A Zhu. He intended to attend the banquet, but was stopped by Shi Yin alone.

"What brings you here, my friend?"

Qiao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked politely.

"I can save her. I need the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," Shi Yin said, looking at A'Zhu in his arms.

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were passed down by the Beggars' Sect. Without permission, please forgive Qiao Feng for not being able to teach it privately."

Qiao Feng turned away.

"Are you sure you still want to talk to me about principles now?" Shi Yin didn't know how to evaluate him. If he was loyal, he was now talking about principles. If he wasn't loyal, he was willing to fight to the death.

Tsk tsk...

The thoughts of these江湖人 (jianghu people, people from all walks of life) are truly hard to understand.

"I'm afraid I can't comply." After a moment of silence, Qiao Feng still refused. At this time, Qiao Feng hadn't given up on the so-called martial arts world and was probably still hoping that Xue Muhua in the manor could help save A'Zhu's life.

"Alright. Go ahead then. The price won't be the same later; it'll have to include the 'Dog-Beating Stick Technique'."

Shi Yin gave way to the road leading to Juxianzhuang.

Go ahead, you won't know what despair is until you experience it for yourself.
