His hands trembled, his yang body faded, and a trickle of golden blood dripped from the end of his beard.

"I'm telling you guys, it's just a friendly spar, why are you risking your lives?" Lin Chaoying pinched Lin Zhu's ear.

Lin Zhu laughed and said, "The opponent was too strong, I couldn't hold back."

His injuries weren't actually that serious.

Wang Chongyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Young friend, you've just broken through, yet you've managed to fight this old man to a draw. This old man is no match for you!"

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Zhou Botong asked anxiously.

"It's nothing serious, just need to rest and recuperate at home." The Nine Yang Divine Skill also possesses extremely strong healing power.

He had a great time this time and gained some understanding of the Nine Yang Technique, which is at a higher level. He is about to break through.

Speaking of which, we should thank Lin Zhu.

"You flatter me, Master Chongyang. I must thank you for showing mercy." Lin Zhu left Lin Chaoying and cupped his hands in greeting to Wang Chongyang.

"Hold back?" Wang Chongyang shook his head. "I did my best; I didn't hold back."

Then he said to Lin Chaoying, "Sect Leader Lin has a good nephew."

“Not by blood, but by adoption,” Lin Chaoying said calmly, then put her arm around Lin Zhu. “We’re leaving now, you should go and heal your wounds.”

"Not related by blood?" Wang Chongyang was taken aback. "If you're not related, why are you standing so close? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

His lips moved, but he ultimately couldn't say anything.

Outside the ancient tomb, when the big dumpling saw Lin Zhu return injured, it quickly asked, "Master, you're injured? Who was it? I'll avenge you."

"Nobody," Lin Zhu laughed. "We just had a fight, it was really fun. I'm going inside to heal my wounds."

The golden ape wasn't there; it had gone into the mountains to eat.

The bear and the monkey take turns feeding each other, without being fed by Lin Zhu and Lin Chaoying; they are self-reliant.

Little Tuanzi wasn't there either; she must have been picked up by Shang Xiufang.

Someone helps take care of the child, and it's free; the little dumpling is very comfortable.

That's right. It's not used to living outdoors these past few days. We'll build it a cave in a while.

The ancient tomb wasn't large enough for the big dumpling and the golden ape to live inside; otherwise, they wouldn't be acting as guardian deities at the entrance.

Lin Zhu lay down on the cold jade bed again.

The Nine Yang Sword Qi entered his body, but it did not cause any fundamental damage.

With the circulation of his Limitless True Essence and the combined effect of the cold air from the Jade Bed, he soon drifted off to sleep.

Lin Chaoying stood guard beside him, and unconsciously reached out to smooth the fine hairs on Lin Zhu's forehead, her eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.

Shang Xiufang and Xiaolongnu walked in.

"What's wrong with my brother?" Shang Xiufang asked softly.

"Shh! He's healing his wounds," Lin Chaoying said even more cautiously. "He and Wang Zhe both suffered heavy losses."

"Is it that wicked Taoist priest?" Little Dragon Girl asked curiously.

Lin Chaoying nodded, "Taoists are all bad guys, especially the Quanzhen Taoists."

Little Dragon Girl hummed in agreement. "Is Brother alright now?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's already starting to heal," Lin Chaoying said. "Let's not disturb him, let's go out."

The three people and the bear left.

Little Tangyuan looked at Lin Zhu with her big, bright eyes, completely bewildered.

On the other side, Wang Chongyang was also seriously injured.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is powerful, but the backlash from it is also unpleasant.

Fortunately, it was based on innate skills, so although it suffered a backlash, it did not fundamentally damage it.

The Nine Yang True Essence circulated within his body, allowing him to recover from his injuries much faster than Lin Zhu.

Wang Chongyang was ultimately superior, being a mid-stage peak expert who was almost at the late stage.

His strength is slightly higher than Lin Zhu's, who just broke through, which is no problem at all.

Three days later, Lin Zhu woke up from the cold jade bed.

Then I sat there quietly and thought.

Reflect on your own shortcomings.

His foundation lies in the Limitless True Essence within his body, but his methods all belong to others. Even if he cultivates it to its peak, what good will it do? Ultimately, it is not his own.

Therefore, it's time to create a few signature skills of your own.

For defense, the Wuji Glazed Body and the Taiji Glazed Bell are sufficient.

As for weapons, he chose swordsmanship. He had already mastered the basic swordsmanship to its peak, and then he could practice the Quanzhen Swordsmanship, the Jade Maiden Swordsmanship, the Jade Flute Swordsmanship, and the Dugu Nine Swords that he had previously deduced.

In terms of fist and foot techniques, the Three-Point Divine Finger, the Three-Point Returning to Origin Qi, and the Three Absolutes are all good, but we need to find a way to integrate them into one.

Finally, there's the long-range aspect. The Dragon Horn Eight-Stringed Zither and the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds are ultimately somewhat incompatible, so a sound wave technique that suits both the Dragon Horn Eight-Stringed Zither and oneself needs to be created.

Looking at it this way, he instantly felt that he would be very busy.

Fortunately, the direction has been determined, which is to take the Wuji True Essence as the foundation, and that will do.

He plans to start with fist and foot techniques, using the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand as a foundation, integrating martial arts to simplify complex techniques.

At the pinnacle stage, the focus is on the application of power; techniques become secondary.

However, this does not mean that the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand technique is useless; its concept is still excellent and can be applied.

After determining the direction, Lin Zhu got up and got off the cold jade bed.

"How is it?" Lin Chaoying came over to ask about the situation.

"It's alright, Auntie." Lin Zhu smiled. "After sparring with Master Chongyang, I've decided on my future cultivation direction and plan to use all four opportunities for enlightenment."

Lin Chaoying's eye twitched slightly; she was very envious of Lin Zhu.

He said, "I'd also like you to help look after Long'er and the others."

"Where is Auntie going?"

"I'm going into seclusion to improve my Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but I've discovered it's ultimately a bit weak. It's not only inferior to your Limitless True Sutra, but it's even weaker than Wang Chongyang's Nine Yang Divine Skill. How about it? Help me look after them. I should be fine in two or three months."

“No problem.” Lin Zhu agreed without hesitation. He wanted to create techniques and martial arts, so he didn’t need to go into seclusion.

The creation of internal martial arts techniques should be quieted down.

"Good child, let Auntie hug you." Lin Chaoying came up and hugged Lin Zhu, saying, "You promised to take good care of them for me."

"Leave it to me." Lin Zhu gently patted Lin Chaoying's back.

So, for the next period of time, Lin Chaoying secluded herself deep within this ancient tomb.

She would refer to the various techniques in the group, absorb their concepts, and combine them with her own experience to strengthen the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra through sudden enlightenment.

Lin Zhu then took on the role of Xiaolongnu's teacher, teaching her the Jade Maiden Heart Sword Technique and the Bird Chasing Lightness Skill.

Then, take some time to learn the martial arts techniques in the group, absorb their essence, and create your own unique skills.

This is a process of accumulation.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was March, and spring was in full bloom.

As the earth revived and the land of China came alive, Shaolin Temple welcomed a group of people from the north.

Chapter 183 First Live Broadcast

Several days ago, a group of Taoist priests from the Quanzhen School had already set off for Shaolin Temple.

Ma Yuqiu Chuji took the lead, followed by Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, and then dozens of third-generation disciples such as Yang Zhikang, Zhen Zhibing, and Zhao Zhijing.

We arrived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain at that moment.

Liu Ruoxin, a member of the imperial court who was in Xingzilin at the time, also went up the mountain to witness the event. Yu Huatian, known as the Second Director of the Western Depot, was also by her side.

The Beggars' Sect, as the third party involved, also had Hong Qigong present.

Besides them, the parties involved outside Yanmen Pass also arrived one after another to resolve their inner demons from back then. Whether they lived or died, all grudges would be settled by then.

Besides these people, most of them were invited to watch the play.

The Quanzhen Sect was one of them, and Zhang Cuishan and his son Zhang Wuji came from Wudang.

The Emei Chan sect was represented by Abbess Miejue, who arrived with a group of female disciples; the Daoist sect was represented by Daoist Shenxi, who brought with him the Three Heroes and Four Beauties of Emei.

The Huashan Sect, led by Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, are the sect's representatives to the outside world. They lead a group of outstanding disciples, including Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Donghua Peak, and Gao Yanan, the eldest disciple of Zhonghua Peak.

Qingcheng Sect, Kunlun Sect, Kongtong Sect, Snow Mountain Sect, Tianshan Sect, Baijian Manor...

Dozens of sects, large and small, have gathered at Shaolin Temple. This event is no simple matter, as there are also immortals living on land within Shaolin Temple.

There are also quite a few top-tier experts.

Liu Ruoxin: I've detected a major event happening here. I can livestream it. Do you want to watch?

Lin Zhu was teaching Xiaolongnu swordsmanship when he saw this and stopped.

Then they heard Little Dragon Girl say, "Brother, a sister is going to do a live stream! This is the first time she's done it! Look, look!"

“Okay, let’s watch it.” Lin Zhu nodded in agreement.

Wu Xingyun: Hurry up and go live, I want to see how He did it.

Li Canghai: I'll join in the fun too.

Liu Ruoxin: Then I'll start it.

[Ding, Liu Ruoxin has started a live stream. Press 1 to agree to access, or press 2 to decline. Do you agree?]

Lin Zhu: Aunt, weren't you in seclusion?

Lin Chaoying: Can't I relax a little?

Then there's a whole bunch of 1s.
