Chapter 27

"That's about all the common sense regarding immortal martial cultivation methods. Next, I will officially pass on the Guan family's unique skill, 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills'."

When Guan Huchen said this, he once again turned on his clairvoyant eye, scanning the surroundings, sky, and ground without any dead ends, before using both his hands and mouth, reciting the mental formula while quickly using a brush to write down the content of the mental formula.

Tiger Soul Seven Kills, seven realms, seven great killing moves.

Each realm has only eight sentences of mental formula, each sentence has eight characters, totaling fifty-six sentences, 448 characters.

But Huchen didn't just simply recite the 448 characters; he spoke endlessly, taking a full two hours, and even changed a candle halfway—it was night now, and he was using a candle for lighting.

"Yu'er, you are truly born with innate wisdom!"

After explaining the 448 characters one by one for two hours, and only having a preliminary understanding of the general idea, Huchen was not discouraged or impatient; like a parent tutoring a primary school child, his face was instead always hanging with a satisfied smile.

Under his smile, there was an irrepressible shock.

Not only did she learn the obscure characters in the mental formula at once, but more importantly, she seemed to have initially sensed the "Tiger Soul Divine Intent" contained in the words and sentences.

Simply put, the 448-character mental formula uses words to describe the true meaning of the fierce tiger's seven kills, as well as the practice method to master the true meaning.

Mastering the divine intent and the seven kills' mystery by silently reading and understanding the words of the mental formula is the fundamental purpose.

If one masters the divine intent, even if one is illiterate and doesn't remember the mental formula at all, it doesn't matter.

However, the vast majority of Guan family disciples, including Guan Huchen himself, could almost recite the 448-character mental formula backward, and they had mastered several ways of writing and reading each character in the mental formula, understood the meaning of each way of writing and reading in detail, and deeply memorized it in their minds, but only a few people in the entire Guan family had mastered the true meaning of the seven kills.

Huchen had practiced "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" since he was a child, practicing for nearly forty years, and Old Ancestor Guan had repeatedly cheated for his great-great-grandson—inviting ghosts and gods proficient in Tiger Soul Seven Kills to pass on the mysteries through dream-entrusting techniques—and now he had only initially mastered the fierce tiger divine intent and mastered five blades of the seven killing moves.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu had come into contact with "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" for the first time tonight, and including the time for learning characters and explaining meanings, it had only been two hours, and her realm at this moment was at least equivalent to fifteen years of his work.

He started practicing martial arts at the age of three and realized a trace of the true meaning of the seven kills at the age of eighteen, and was praised by all the great family leaders and Jiang Hu seniors as "Guan family's tiger cub, peerless hero."

They were not saying flattering words because of his family background; he, Guan Huchen, was a true genius, and he had rarely met an opponent among his peers.

Today he had encountered an abnormal existence that surpassed a genius!

"It's not that Yu'er is a genius, but that Foster Father's realm is too high; just a few casual pointers are golden words, let alone Foster Father's meticulous and tireless teaching of Seeing Xiao Yu Yu with a sincere and loving heart. Any achievements Seeing Xiao Yu Yu has in the future are all due to Foster Father's teaching," Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was also very shocked in her heart.

Her mastery of the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" mental formula was far beyond Huchen's imagination.

That's right, she not only didn't show off in front of others, but also deliberately hid her clumsiness.

What's more exaggerated is that she not only mastered part of the divine intent of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" but also realized a mental mystery that restrained "Tiger Soul Seven Kills"—Seeing Xiao Yu Yu didn't know how to describe it, but it was a mental state that resisted "Tiger Soul Seven Kills."

It's not that she was really a genius to the point of being a "born saint."

Being a human for two lives, with a powerful soul and a mature mind, would naturally make her brain more flexible than ordinary people.

But to say she was comparable to a "born saint," honestly, she was far behind.

The reason Seeing Xiao Yu Yu could be so awesome was entirely because the "Great Father-Destroyer" was cheating!

The essence of the "Great Father-Destroyer" is the purple space in her sea of consciousness, which she calls the "Purple Mansion."

The Purple Mansion can deduce the "Method to Kill Foster Father" by itself.

The foster fathers she killed in the past were basically just strong ordinary people; the "Purple Mansion" would draw the details of the other party's muscles and bones, deduce the other party's "action defects" (not knowing martial arts, no moves, just habitual killing actions), and find the opportunity to hit the vital point directly.

The Purple Mansion's deduction is very fast and very simple.

But Guan Huchen would not be defeated by "action defects."

If actions are moves, Huchen has True Origin besides moves, and masters the divine intent in the blade, as well as the great miraculous power of pupil technique.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu doesn't understand these at all, completely doesn't understand.

She had only witnessed the opening of the clairvoyant eye, but soon the Purple Mansion deduction was stuck.

Now it's good; Huchen directly said his core cultivation method.

Not only did he recite the mental formula, but he also explained it to Seeing Xiao Yu Yu word by word.

A true pouring out of everything!

In the past two hours, every word Huchen spat out turned into experience points, allowing the Purple Mansion to quickly deduce, deducing the various "defects of Huchen's Seven Kills Mystery," as well as another divine intent that restrained Huchen's Seven Kills true meaning.

And these deduced "defects" and the divine intent that restrained the Seven Kills true meaning all entered Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's soul and were instantly mastered by her.

Because she mastered the various defects of Huchen's Seven Kills true meaning and obtained the essence of "Huchen's Seven Kills true meaning" personally taught by Huchen, combining the two, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu realized the "perfect-level" Seven Kills true meaning.

Even if the "Great Father-Destroyer" didn't actively help her practice the "Tiger Soul Blade Technique," she relied on her own little bit of "innate wisdom" to make her Seven Kills true meaning advance by leaps and bounds.

—The "Great Father-Destroyer" is really too restraining to the foster father!

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu could only make such a sigh.

"Yu'er, don't be humble; I have practiced 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' for forty years and have seen many people, but no one's comprehension is as good as yours," Huchen's mood was very complicated; besides shock, there was joy, jealousy, and unwillingness.

The "Little Concubine Li" was so stunning, and his "great future" was more secure, which made him happy.

But her "innate wisdom" made him deeply jealous.

He was unwilling that his decades of hard cultivation were not as good as her one or two hours of listening.

"Foster Father, is the 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' you taught me missing something? Although I have realized something, I have no idea how to show what is in my heart," Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said.

Whether it was the fierce tiger divine intent or the seven kills mystery, it seemed to be a mental state.

Perhaps she could try to add the divine intent to the "military gymnastics" in daily training, playing with fists and sticks, all performed with the fierce tiger divine intent, and the specific fighting method based on the seven kills mystery.

Huchen pondered: "That's right, 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' besides the mental formula, there are also blade scores and breathing methods.

The blade score records moves and practice methods.

Moves are easy to understand; they are fixed routines when you wave your fists and dance with sticks.

Practicing routines into the body's instinct, when fighting, you can use them as you wish, not one move after another, in a fixed order.

Practice methods are also called 'Body Tempering Methods'."

He patted his sturdy chest, "This is the effect of the practice method. Practice methods strengthen the body, and breathing methods strengthen the Qi; 'Qi' is the core.

Using practice methods to temper the body is just to stimulate more 'internal Qi' and let the body accommodate more 'external Qi.'

The Qi born from muscles and blood vessels is 'internal Qi,' and the Qi of heaven and earth absorbed from the outside is 'external Qi.'

Internal and external fusion is True Origin, also called 'True Qi.'

Of course, from practice method body tempering, to internal Qi self-generation, then absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth, and finally condensing True Origin... every step represents a realm in the martial path, and it cannot be achieved overnight."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Seeing Xiao Yu Yu strangely and said: "I have heard from Old Zhong about your practice situation, pulling fists and feet, turning somersaults, hitting tiger jumps... basically all kinds of high-difficulty action moves, you have done them all, and done them very well.

But you have practiced for so long, is there any internal Qi self-generation?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu shook her head, "I don't know martial arts; I just practiced blindly."

"Because you don't understand the breathing technique! Even if your actions might include all the moves and practice methods in the 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills Blade Score,' you still cannot temper your body and generate internal Qi," Huchen said.

"Is the breathing method a breathing technique?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked.

Huchen shook his head, "It is not just the rhythm of breathing, nor is it just the meridian map of True Origin operation.

The breathing technique, like the mental formula I just explained, requires a special realization from the body to the soul.

My Guan mansion's 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills Breathing Method' is not a painting of human meridians, it is a 'mysterious tool'—a fierce tiger spine.

Cleanse the body and burn incense, live alone in a quiet room, hold the tiger bone, and then silently recite the mental formula of the breathing method, self-realize the breathing and Qi operation rhythm of the 'fierce tiger,' and finally practice the first strand of internal Qi.

After practicing internal Qi, it is simple.

Sit and practice Qi, let internal Qi travel through all the meridians of the whole body, nourish every acupuncture point on the body, accumulate over time, and gradually grow."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was a bit surprised, "After practicing internal Qi, do you directly pass through all the meridians of the whole body, without specifically opening them, or activating the acupuncture points?"

Huchen frowned and said: "With your innate wisdom, how could you say such stupid things? People are alive; can the meridians and acupuncture points on the body be blocked?

If the meridians are blocked and the acupuncture points are silent, you are directly abolished; what martial arts are you practicing?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu lowered her head and said: "Seeing Xiao Yu Yu is stupid, and thought that the improvement of True Origin was related to body changes, so..."

—It's all the fault of the novels I read in my previous life for being too deeply rooted in people's hearts!

"Sigh, don't blame you; although you are intelligent, you have never truly felt internal Qi and True Origin, and can only speculate on the feelings of fish in the water as a person on the shore," Huchen said.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu smiled like a flower and said: "Foster Father, tell me about it."

—Foster Father, why don't you hurry up and pass on all the blade scores, practice methods, and breathing formulas to me! It's best to use your True Origin to let me feel the intent of the "Tiger Bone"; eight out of ten, I can directly refine the first strand of internal Qi.

There was a burning expectation in her eyes.

Since he even passed on the "Tiger Soul Divine Intent" to her, he certainly wouldn't be stingy with the others.

Huchen said: "I practice martial arts every day; tomorrow morning you come to my courtyard, and I will perform the Tiger Soul Blade Technique for you to see. But the breathing method might not be suitable for you."

He paused and said frankly: "Blade scores can increase your knowledge, mental formulas can temper your soul and will, and if you learn the breathing method, your 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' will truly enter the door.

If you only intend to be a Jiang Hu girl, or follow me to fight on the battlefield, the more profound the 'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' is, the better.

But I have other arrangements for you; you have a greater and brighter future.

'Tiger Soul Seven Kills' is not low-level; it is an ancient cultivation method that your great-great-grandfather bought from the ghost messengers of the Underworld.

It is said that it is a divine skill practiced by the Chi You Demon God who fought for hegemony with the Heavenly Emperor ten million years ago.

But it ultimately hasn't escaped the category of immortal martial arts and cannot compare to orthodox Daoist methods.

According to my plan, you will soon be able to come into contact with Daoist methods, so there is no need to waste energy on immortal martial arts."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's heart popped out a series of shocks and doubts.

Her "great-great-grandfather"... she is an orphan; where does she have a great-great-grandfather?

So the "great-great-grandfather" the makeshift foster father is talking about is his great-grandfather?

Old Ancestor Guan exchanged cultivation methods with the ghost messengers of the Underworld... this is too fantasy, right?

Since you are so fantasy, why don't you fantasy to the end and directly exchange for a set of immortal cultivation manuals.

And his plan... what kind of plan can allow her to come into contact with immortal methods in a short time?

As the saying goes, the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish—the higher the risk, the greater the benefit.

But conversely, it can also be said that the greater the benefit, the higher the risk.

How high is the risk represented by immortal methods?

"Foster Father, are you joking? Seeing Xiao Yu Yu is just a barbarian girl; how can she obtain the favor of immortals?"

She said dryly, but deep in her eyes was a trace of expectation that even she didn't notice.

"You will understand in a few days."

Huchen looked out the window and stood up, saying: "The days are still long; don't be in a hurry. Now the night is deep; you go to sleep first."
