Chapter 348: Chapter 257: Palace Master Yan’s great kindness and virtue, this humble girl has nothing to repay, only to offer herself in marriage!
"As with Yang Ascending, often imagine being male, being a dragon, being fire, being heaven, being cloud, being crane, being sun, being horse, being smoke, being rosy clouds, being vehicle, being drive, being flower, being air. Such thoughts are all inner observation, in accordance with the imagery of Yang Ascending."
"As with Yin Decline, often imagine being female, being tiger, being water, being earth, being rain, being turtle, being moon, being ox, being spring, being mud, being boat, being leaf. Such thoughts are all inner observation, in accordance with the imagery of Yin Decline."
Yang Ascending.
Yin Decline.
Jiang Bianliu followed Yan Chuan’s explanation, imparting skills, constantly thinking, constantly comprehending, and cautiously experimenting.
What Yan Chuan spoke of was originally obscure, extremely difficult for the average person to understand.
But Yan Chuan had "Mutual Teaching and Learning," able to enhance the listener’s comprehension efficiency by 75%, coupled with Jiang Bianliu’s own scholarly and martial attainments, a life of martial arts, and strong comprehension ability.
One old, one young.
The meeting of two strengths.
One teaches well.
One learns quickly.
A good teacher and a worthy disciple meet joyfully, both feel delighted.
"The Dao has no questions, and questions have no answers. When True Yuan differentiates, the Primal Simplicity disperses. The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three. One serves as body, two as function, and three as creation."
Yan Chuan’s practice revolved thrice, fully elucidating the mysteries and changes of "Innate Skill."
Then suddenly, he leaped up, left palm caressing his chest, right hand extending the index finger, slowly pointing towards Zhou Yan’s Bai Hui acupoint on the top of his head.
Jiang Bianliu saw Zhou Yan involuntarily twitch slightly, and he observed a warm current descending straight from the top of Zhou Yan’s head.
After Yan Chuan pointed once, he immediately withdrew, and without moving his body, his second finger had already pointed towards a point one inch and five fen behind Zhou Yan’s Bai Hui acupoint, then Strong Space, Nao Hu, Wind Mansion, Dazhui, Taodao, Shenzhu, Shendao, Spiritual Platform all the way down.
About more than half a stick of incense later, he had sequentially pointed to Zhou Yan’s Thirty Major Acupoints of the Du Meridian.
Jiang Bianliu, noble by Innate, with martial arts accomplishments undoubtedly top-notch, saw Yan Chuan’s finger movements smooth and natural, arm movements graceful and elegant, pointing the Thirty Major Acupoints used thirty different hand skills, each trick with distinct aura.
Truly something never seen before, never heard before!
"Is this the ’One Yang Finger’?"
Jiang Bianliu was amazed.
Using the ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill’ exhibited by Wang Zhengyi as a comparison, he already regarded Yan Chuan’s yet-to-be-displayed "One Yang Finger" very highly, but witnessing it firsthand still astonished him, as it was extremely exquisite and rare in his life.
"’One Yang Finger’ is an empty-handed move, secretly pointing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, grasping, hitting, soaring, kicking, flicking, sweeping, with infinite changes, illusions hard to predict, seizing, capturing, sealing, closing, twisting, sinking, swallowing, spitting, feinting east while attacking west, seeming illusion turning reality; hands, eyes, body, method, steps, wrists, elbows, knees, shoulders swiftly advancing and retreating, grasping and locking, watching front and back, suddenly advancing and retreating, body moves like flying once unleashed. Moving like a river, still as a mountain. In confrontation, the place of ingenuity is not enough to add a feather, no insects or flies can land, rising like an eagle soaring, landing like thunder striking the ground."
Yan Chuan activated "One Yang Finger," while explaining to Jiang Bianliu.
Although "One Yang Finger" was not developed long, Yan Chuan’s practice time was also not long, but he used "Innate Skill" to activate it, previously having Wang Ge who practiced "Seven Injuries Fist" for frequent trials, therefore, Yan Chuan’s current accomplishment was truly not low.
Unleash it!
The power is immense!
"Lightly Stretching Iron Arm Like Thunder, Lying Like a Virgin Peeking Like a Swan, Iron Shoes Break the Jianghu, Yet the One Yang Technique is Genuinely Powerful!"
Jiang Bianliu saw the profoundness, perceived the power, momentarily engrossed.
He noticed Yan Chuan’s swift turning retreat, seizing attack was indeed marvelous, what was more challenging was in attacking and retreating, fishes vanishing and rabbits escaping, extraordinarily nimble.
After switching two more incense sticks, Yan Chuan completed pointing Zhou Yan’s Yin Jue and Yang Jue two meridians.
"Postnatal Cultivation, Twelve Main Meridians."
"Innate Cultivation, Eight Extraordinary Meridians!"
"This ’One Yang Finger’ is indeed profound, pointing to ’Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ to heal injuries, it draws ’Innate Energy’ to nourish the postnatal body."
"No wonder!"
"No wonder!"
Jiang Bianliu suddenly realized.
No wonder Yan Chuan emphasized that using "Innate Skill" to activate "One Yang Finger" increases power and enhances healing effects. Others wouldn’t understand, but if they deeply researched the mysteries of "One Yang Finger," they could see clearly.
He saw that Yan Chuan’s use of "One Yang Finger Skill" indeed revolves solely around the ’Eight Extraordinary Meridians’ without deviation.
Seven meridians down, leaving only the Carry Meridian.
The Seven Extraordinary Meridians all communicate up and down, only the Carry Meridian circles around the body, passing through the waist, resembling a belt, hence called Carry Meridian.
After pointing the last, the Carry Meridian opens, marking the great achievement.
This time Yan Chuan turned his back to Zhou Yan, retreated while moving, pointing backward to her Zhangmen Acupoint. The Carry Meridian has eight acupoints, Yan Chuan moved extremely slowly, seemingly pointing with great difficulty, breathing heavily, body swaying unsteadily, indicating he was about to collapse.
"Without being Innate, forcefully using ’One Yang Finger,’ is indeed strenuous."
Jiang Bianliu noticed the clue.
This "One Yang Finger," as mentioned by Yan Chuan, requires extreme energy to use, continuous use can lead to loss of power, or even life-threatening.
This is because a postnatal body uses innate power, the burden is too great.
"He must have first created ’One Yang Finger,’ possessing great power, but difficult to wield. Hence, he supplemented it by creating ’Innate Skill,’ only barely able to manage using it."
Jiang Bianliu guessed wrong this time.
Yan Chuan coincidentally developed "Innate Skill" and "One Yang Finger" simultaneously.
By chance, the two divine skills converged in one body, both clearly were ’Geng Level Two Stars,’ but combined at one place, could exert the power of ’Geng Three,’ ’Geng Four,’ even ’Geng Five.’
This was a delightful surprise.
Jiang Bianliu noticed the distinction, realized the compatibility of "Innate Skill" and "One Yang Finger," even with his own Innate Realm, the two, even three were too harmonious, the power could further increase.
