Chapter 4: First meeting with Yin Shou (Seeking collections and follow-up reading!)

After leaving Zichen Hall, Yin Qi did not rush out of the palace, but came to the Mengfu.

The Mengfu is actually the Scripture Depository and Library, mainly preserving alliances, maps, books, archives, and other materials related to the royal family, the most important of which are the alliances.

For example, Shang Tang allied with three thousand feudal lords and ascended to the position of Human Emperor.

Later, King Wu of Zhou also allied with feudal lords at Mengjin, determining his leadership position.

Even in later generations, feudal states often made alliances.

Of course, the Mengfu also collected a large number of cultivation techniques, both immortal cultivation and martial arts manuals.

It was just that because martial arts cultivation was prevalent among the human race, and the royal family could not cultivate immortality for certain reasons, the cultivation techniques in the Mengfu were mainly martial arts manuals.

According to Yin Qi's understanding, martial arts can be divided into Mortal Realm, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm.

Immortal cultivation can be divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul (Human Immortal), Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, and Saint.

Martial arts had only been developed for tens of thousands of years, said to have been founded by the Yellow Emperor, and currently, the Heaven Realm is the highest realm.

If compared, the Heaven Realm is equivalent to Nascent Soul (Human Immortal).

Because he had no talent for cultivation, the previous Yin Qi had not come into contact with cultivation, so he came to the Mengfu this time mainly to choose some manuals to take back, after all, his current bone structure is that of a genius.

Genius bone structure is already enough to cultivate immortality.

But as a member of the royal family, Yin Qi was destined to be unable to cultivate immortality.

This is a rule, and also a heavenly law.

However, this heavenly law only applies to the Fengshen world; Yin Qi can naturally cultivate immortality after traveling to the heavens.

He was going to travel to the heavens to train, so naturally, he couldn't go without any preparation.

The Mengfu is a nine-story building with strict defenses.

However, as the eldest son of the Human Emperor, except for the ninth floor where the alliances are stored, Yin Qi can freely enter and exit the other eight floors and read any book.

After entering the Mengfu, Yin Qi went straight to the eighth floor.

"Eh, Royal Brother, why are you here?"

Just as he walked onto the eighth floor, Yin Qi heard a surprised voice.

He turned his head to look; it was a heroic and handsome young man with eyes as bright as stars.

It was the future King Zhou, the current Yin Shou.

It had to be said that in terms of appearance, this Yin Shou was indeed eye-catching, and he hadn't been corrupted yet; overall, he was still an ambitious young man, brave and resolute, heroic and spirited.

Yin Qi smiled gently: "It's the third royal brother. I suddenly became interested in cultivation, so I came to choose some manuals to read."

Yin Shou was stunned, then smiled brightly: "So that's it, but our Great Shang has a vast collection of manuals; if Royal Brother doesn't mind, you can tell me what type of manuals you want, and I'll find them for you."

"Then I'll trouble the third royal brother!"

Yin Qi did not refuse and said: "I want martial arts techniques and skills with the most magnificent power after cultivation, including saber techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, and light-body techniques."

Yin Shou was stunned again, then advised: "Royal Brother, the more magnificent the power of the martial arts, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and martial arts skills should be refined rather than numerous; others can be looked at to increase experience."

Yin Qi smiled and said: "Third brother, I can't cultivate anyway, so what difference does it make to me whether it's difficult or easy?"

Yin Shou smiled in relief and nodded, saying: "That's true. Royal Brother, the martial arts with the most magnificent power in this Mengfu is none other than the "Human Emperor Scripture" passed down by the Yellow Emperor; this is the exclusive cultivation method for the Human Emperor, and to enter the door, one must ascend to the position of Human Emperor, and this divine art also has various matching martial arts skills, all of which are unparalleled in power."

Yin Qi's eyes lit up and he said: "I want the "Human Emperor Scripture"."

In this Fengshen world, the "Human Emperor Scripture" indeed could not be entered, but the heavens were different.

If he could conquer that world, this cultivation method could naturally be entered.

When he returned to the Fengshen world, this cultivation base would also feed back to his main body, achieving success naturally.

"The "Human Emperor Scripture" is here!"

Yin Shou took Yin Qi to the jade bookshelf on the east side and picked up a roll of white silk book.

Yin Qi picked up the silk book and slowly unfolded it, discovering that the silk book was extremely thin and had been preserved for tens of thousands of years without any signs of decay, knowing that the material of this silk book was very unusual.

The silk book was filled with dense text, as well as diagrams, and even annotations from past cultivators.

And those who could cultivate this method were all past Human Emperors.

Yin Shou said: "Royal Brother, this "Human Emperor Scripture" is a supreme treasure of our human race; unless one is the Human Emperor, one cannot take it out of the Mengfu. If you want to read it, you can only read it here."

Yin Qi nodded: "Mm, I'll read it here."

"Then I won't disturb Royal Brother; I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Third brother, go slowly. By the way, third brother, what cultivation method are you practicing?"

Yin Qi suddenly asked.

Although Yin Shou found it a bit strange, he didn't take it to heart and said generously: "The "True Martial Divine Art"."

Yin Shou left, and only Yin Qi was left in the building.

Although because of the position of Crown Prince, the court had long been arguing.

But they still maintained the image of brotherly humility and brotherly respect, and had not yet torn their faces.

Yin Qi even knew that Yin Shou had never put him in his eyes.

Yin Shou was a proud person; at eighteen, he was in the Heaven Realm, and there were not many in the entire Great Shang Celestial Dynasty who could find such a person.

Yin Qi restrained his smile and communicated with the Fortune Altar with his heart:

"Altar, burn fortune, briefly increase comprehension to heavenly pride."

The content of the "Human Emperor Scripture" was too much; unless one could remember it at a glance, it was impossible to memorize it quickly, and heavenly pride comprehension came with photographic memory, and could also draw inferences from one instance.

Half an hour later, Yin Qi memorized the entire "Human Emperor Scripture," and then he found the "True Martial Divine Art," easily memorizing it all as well.

For the next three or four hours, Yin Qi was flipping through books and memorizing, until he used up one chi of fortune.

As such, he had to stop.

Now he had three chi of fortune left, but one chi was used to open the Gate of Heavens, and two chi were for backup.

"Good harvest!"

Yin Qi smiled lightly, put down the silk book, and left the Mengfu.

In addition to the "Human Emperor Scripture" and the "True Martial Divine Art," he also memorized three Heaven-level cultivation methods and ten various martial arts skills, covering fist, palm, leg, saber, and sword techniques, and additionally, he memorized one immortal cultivation method and more than a dozen spells.

This immortal cultivation method was named the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon," which could be cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal realm, and was also the Yellow Emperor's method of proving the Dao back then.

It was just that there was only the first volume, and no second volume.

However, for Yin Qi, it was enough for now.

……

When he returned to the Qi Wang Mansion, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Martial arts arena.

Yin Qi changed into a set of martial arts attire, and standing beside him was a tall and burly middle-aged man.

This person was the Grand Commander of the Mansion, Zhang Shaokang, with a Heaven Realm cultivation.

Although he didn't know why the Highness suddenly became interested in practicing martial arts, facing Yin Qi's inquiry, he still answered seriously: "Your Highness, martial arts cultivation can be divided into Mortal Realm, Earth Realm, and Heaven Realm.

Mortal Realm is purely tempering the body, strengthening the blood and Qi of the whole body.

The vast majority of martial artists in the world are basically at this level, because they not only lack cultivation methods but also lack the resources needed for cultivation, such as blood food, spirit medicine, pills, etc.

Mortal Realm peak, generally can reach a strength of three thousand jin with one arm.

It is said that Shou Wang Highness had a strength of over ten thousand jin with one arm at the peak of the Mortal Realm, possessing innate divine strength."

Yin Qi was shocked.

He had to sigh that this was truly the Fengshen world.

Just at the peak of the Mortal Realm, one had a strength of ten thousand jin with one arm; how strong should the Heaven Realm be?

Zhang Shaokang continued to explain: "From Mortal Realm to Earth Realm, one needs to master one's own blood and Qi, like an arm directing a finger, and then use blood and Qi to temper the flesh, until finally one can change blood and transform. At this realm, in our Great Shang army, one can be a team leader."

In the army, a seven-level military system of squad, platoon, team, battalion, brigade, division, and army is implemented.

Among them, a team leader can lead fifty soldiers, belonging to the middle and low-level military officers.

"Earth Realm refines apertures, using blood and Qi to temper the blood and Qi of the whole body, developing the body's potential; in the army, one can be a brigade commander."

"Heaven Realm refines the spirit, but because this realm is a bit chaotic, everyone's cultivation method is different, so there is no unified standard, and all Heaven Realm martial artists are exploring the path forward by themselves. However, Heaven Realm martial arts are divine, and one can cultivate their own divine abilities."
