Chapter 288

"Pillars of the Sun Sword Technique?! Senior Brother went to practice the 'Pillars of the Sun Sword Technique'?!"

Ning Zhongze was shocked out of her wits.

At this moment, what Linghu Chong did no longer mattered; what shocked her most was that Yue Buqun had actually practiced the 'Pillars of the Sun Sword Technique'!

To cultivate the Divine Art, one must cut off one's genitals; refining pills and taking medicine, internal and external are both connected.

Does this not mean that the husband in the story is a Eunuch?!

The dignified Paidezhang Sect of Huashan Sect is a Eunuch?!

Thinking of this, Ning Zhongze's face turned red, as if blood were about to drip from it.

That was from shame.

Beside her, Yue Yue Lingshan was as silent as a winter cicada, daring not to utter a single word.

After all, this topic was too sensitive, involving a man's privacy, and that man was her father.

As a daughter, she really should not speak out of turn.

……

At the same time, Hua Hua Zhenzhen and Gao Yanan of Huashan Sect were also speechless.

Huashan Sect had been embarrassed time and again; they had finally produced a destined protagonist, originally thinking they could finally hold their heads high, but instead, the entire Men Sect's face was directly pressed against the ground and rubbed!

It would have been better to just be a background character.

【Besides this, the other impression Linghu Chong gave me was -- unlucky】

【Especially starting from when he was punished to meditate facing the wall at the Cliff of Reflection, his subsequent experiences were simply tragic】

【He faced the wall for less than a year, and the corner of the wall was pried open by the newly arrived junior brother】

【After he came down from the Cliff of Reflection, he could only watch helplessly as his childhood sweetheart junior sister and her lover were inseparable, yet he was powerless, forced to silently swallow the bitter fruit】

【Because Feng Feng Qingyang taught him the 'Nine Swords of Dugu', his strength increased greatly; he inadvertently made a scene, but was suspected by his Master Yue Buqun, who believed he had secretly hoarded and stolen the 'Pillars of the Sun Sword Technique'】

【Due to the wild and stupid maneuvers of the 'Peach Valley Six Immortals', multiple streams of True Qi were injected into his body, conflicting with each other, making life worse than death, and his life was directly in imminent danger】

【The Huashan Sect's supreme Divine Art -- the 'Purple Mist Divine Art' could cure his injuries; Yue Yue Lingshan stole it for him to learn, but he was unwilling to break Huashan Sect's rules and refused to learn it even at the cost of his life】

【So he acupointed the sixth junior brother Lu Dayou who was carrying the scripture for him, and left alone】

【Unexpectedly, no sooner had he left than Lu Dayou was killed by the Songshan Sect's traitor Lao Lao Denuo】

【Linghu Chong mistakenly thought he had killed the sixth junior brother, who had the best relationship with him, by applying too much force when acupointing, and felt overwhelming guilt in his heart】

【Following the sect all the way to Fujian, passing through Luoyang, he was not welcomed by Lin Lin Pingzhi's grandfather's family, was looked down upon, insulted, beaten, and slandered】

【Upon arriving in Fujian, he was again framed by Yue Buqun, accused of stealing the 'Pillars of the Sun Sword Manual', and was even Zhuchushi Sect】

【……】

【One tragedy after another, one after another, simply not inferior to Helmsman Qiao Feng, one of the protagonists of 'Heavenly Dragon Eight Parts'】

【Regarding misfortune, among the various protagonists in Jin's novels, except for Di Yun who stands alone and firmly sits on the first throne, there are almost none more unlucky than him】

【Although Linghu Chong's misfortunes were also greatly related to his personality, unlucky is unlucky】

【If not for a bit of protagonist halo, he would long ago have died in some remote corner】

"Mother..."

Yue Yue Lingshan put down the diary copy and looked at her mother with deep concern.

Ning Zhongze had a blank expression and said nothing.

At this point, she had seen that the Yue Buqun in the story was no good person either.

This made her recall Jiang Sishui's evaluation of 'Smiling Proud Without Heroes'.

When she first saw these four characters, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

You must know, her husband Yue Buqun had the reputation of 'Gentleman Sword', yet he could not even deserve the character 'Hero'.

Then it was obvious that there must be a story behind this.

Now, the speculation had indeed become reality.

With the doubts in her heart resolved, for a moment, Ning Zhongze actually felt somewhat relieved.

319 Yilin's reward, half-resisting Shi Hongying

Composing herself, Ning Zhongze forced a smile: "I am fine."

Yue Yue Lingshan was still not reassured and reminded again: "Mother, that is just a story."

Ning Zhongze smiled helplessly: "Silly child, doesn't Mother know clearly? Don't worry, Mother is fine, and your father would not do such a thing."

Yue Yue Lingshan nodded heavily and smiled sweetly.

Then she added: "But Mother, this Lao Lao Denuo is also from our Huashan Sect; should we investigate him?"

Ning Zhongze nodded slightly: "Although I have not heard of any Songshan Sect besides the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, we cannot fail to investigate."

"You do not need to worry about this matter; Mother will handle it herself."

"Oh..." Yue Yue Lingshan nodded obediently.

……

At the same time, the women were also thinking, who exactly was this Di Yun, that he could surpass Helmsman Qiao Feng and Linghu Chong to sit on the throne of 'Number One Unlucky Person in the Golden Book'?

Moreover, according to Jiang Sishui's words, he sat there firmly and securely, winning the laurel wreath without any suspense.

This made them very curious about Di Yun's experiences.

……

【Detected that Jiang Sishui has completed today's diary; congratulations, you have obtained One Month of True Qi】

【Selecting today's winner...】

【Congratulations to Yilin for obtaining the Divine Art 'Nine Yin True Classic'】

A flash of light, and a book appeared in Yilin's hand.

The cover had four large characters: "Nine Yin True Classic."

"Nine Yin True Classic…"

Yilin had an impression of this martial art — it came from *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, created by the extraordinary person Huang Shang, who spent decades of his life on it. It bore the title of "Compendium of All Martial Arts Under Heaven," was the foremost extraordinary art in the story, and had once stirred up a storm of blood and violence.

Even Huang Rong's mother, Feng Heng, had died because of this martial art.

That was why Yilin remembered it very clearly.

She opened the book and flipped through it…

The *Nine Yin True Classic* was divided into upper and lower volumes. The upper volume covered internal energy such as tendon-changing and bone-forging, healing wounds and breath-holding, acupoint-striking and acupoint-releasing, tendon-retracting and bone-shrinking, special subtle force, and the Soul-Shifting Great Art, while the lower volume contained numerous moves and techniques.

Beside the content, there were also annotations for many specialized terms.

Yilin skimmed through it once, and her first impression of this martial art was "comprehensive!"

The *Nine Yin True Classic* was rich in content, covering an extremely wide range of fields — it had considered virtually every aspect of martial learning.

One could say that if a person mastered all the martial arts within it, then beneath the Heavenly Beings, he would essentially have no shortcomings.

No matter what difficulty he encountered, eight or nine times out of ten he could find a method of breaking within the *Nine Yin True Classic*.

Moreover, the *Nine Yin True Classic* not only had a low cultivation threshold, but could also transform bones and refine marrow, improving one's aptitude to a certain extent… it could truly be called the one and only method for raising a sect's foundation, potential, and strength.

In this regard, even the "Northern Nether Divine Art" could not compare to it.

The "Northern Nether Divine Art" could indeed let one quickly become an expert, but precisely because of its special nature, it was destined never to be spread on a large scale — only a few people could practice it in secret.

Otherwise, once it leaked, it would be a catastrophic disaster, and countless people would rise up and attack!

Yilin held the *Nine Yin True Classic*, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face.

Because according to the information transmitted by the system, this *Nine Yin True Classic* allowed her to pass it on to others!

Yilin thought of the Hengshan Sect at once.

With the protection of the "Kunji Seal" and the daily true Qi rewards, the *Nine Yin True Classic* was not of great use to her, but it was of vital importance to the Hengshan Sect!

The Hengshan Sect was only a second-rate sect, with no high standing in the Jianghu. Being able to preserve its foundation in the treacherous Wu Lin was no easy feat.

The pressure borne by Hengshan's "Three Dings" could well be imagined.

The "Three Dings" were only at the Grandmaster Realm, and what limited their cultivation was precisely their martial arts inheritance.

The cultivation methods the "Three Dings" practiced were not even divine arts, and they themselves were not peerless geniuses, so their path ahead had long been sealed off.

Barring accidents, they had no chance of advancing to Grandmaster in this lifetime.

But if they had the *Nine Yin True Classic*, the Hengshan Sect would essentially have a foundation for growth.

Whether the "Three Dings" could use it to break through was another matter — even if they could not, as long as they found some disciples they were pleased with to teach, given time, a revival was by no means a foolish fantasy.

Once the Hengshan Sect produced a Grandmaster, the influence would be earth-shattering.

At the very least, they would no longer have to worry about being disliked by someone and having their sect wiped out on a whim.

After all, the Heavenly Beings in this world were few in number.
