Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 235 The Seven Friends of Songyang and Shao Chan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Before we knew it, the end of the year was approaching again, and Sun Yanwan was about to grow another year older!
His name was inscribed on every volume of the revised Five Classics and Thirteen Essentials, though he didn't really care about it.

The revised Songyang School martial arts manual also included the Immortal-Slaying Hammer, but it was not listed separately. Instead, it was included in the supplementary volume of the Golden Tendon Jade Bone Fist. The fist technique that Sun Yanwan learned from the human demon was revised by the Seven Friends of Songyang. It was deduced from the incomplete moves into a complete set of martial arts. They believed that it was inconsistent with the principles of the Immortal-Slaying Hammer Fist, so they summarized another set of Human Immortal Fist, which was also included in the supplementary volume of the Golden Tendon Jade Bone Fist. Both sets of martial arts were written as being the result of Sun Yanwan's painstaking research over several years and a sudden enlightenment.

In addition to the content provided by Sun Yanwan, the Seven Friends of Songyang, Pei Han, Jiang Yan, and even Wei Yingxiao, who is still in Black Dragon City, also had their own unique secret techniques selected. These techniques were included in a supplementary book under a certain unique skill and were not listed separately.

The revised Five Classics and Thirteen Unique Skills emphasize a completely natural and unaltered approach. The martial arts concepts and techniques are all inherited from the same lineage. The person who revised them is also a direct descendant of the Songyang School and has not studied other schools. It is immediately obvious that they are all "self-created" martial arts of the Songyang School, with impeccable lineage.

Sun Yanwan retrieved the Golden Sutra of the Sun and secretly revised the Sun Family Martial Arts Manual.

The first volume of Sun's Martial Arts Manual consists of martial arts techniques that Sun Yanwan collected from all over the place, which goes without saying. It mainly adds the Withered and Flourishing Blade, the Ice Silkworm Transformation, and the Golden Sun Scripture.

The second volume contains Zhang Yuanqiao's extracted mental techniques and moves.

After seeking guidance from the Seven Friends of Songyang, Pei Han, and Jiang Yan, he added more than a dozen sections of mental cultivation techniques and some moves.

Sun Yanwan secluded herself on Lingjian Peak for several months and also mastered the sixth transformation of Xuanhuang - Ruyi Divine Needle.

Although both the Ruyi Divine Needle and the Ruyi Qiankun Bag have "Ruyi" in their names, the true energy they cultivate is different. The Ruyi Divine Needle is the Xuanhuang Scripture, one of the Five Elements Transformation, which specializes in cultivating the Three Metal Hidden Meridians. Sun Yanwan had already opened the Taibai Meridian before, and in the following months, she also opened the Tai Geng and Tai Xin hidden meridians. Therefore, she did not encounter any major obstacles in cultivating the Ruyi Divine Needle.

Although Taiyi Temple was not decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, it was still a lively place.

Taiyi Temple has Taoist priests of the Xuanhuang Dao. Although these priests are not disciples of the Songyang School and do not practice martial arts, they simply worship the Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor and study Taoist classics, yet they manage the temple in an orderly manner.

During this period, every morning, fellow disciples from various peaks would come to visit him. Pei Wushe, Linghu Shao, Ding Fenxiu, and even many other disciples he was not familiar with would come in an endless stream, and many people would even come together.

Many people also talked to him about the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament. He was the first in Group C last year, but he didn't participate at all this year. Pei Wushe, Linghu Shao and others could no longer participate in Group C, and their rankings in Group B were not high. Ding Fenxiu, on the other hand, participated in Group C just in time for the age limit and successfully won first place. However, there were no more Yang Golden Core cultivators this year.

Sun Yanwan has been busy all year round, where would she find the time to participate in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament?

He didn't care about winning or losing the fight, but he felt a great pity for not participating in the excitement.

Of course, what's even more regrettable is that he will no longer be able to participate in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

Wang Xuangui and Zhang Yuanqiao have already announced on his behalf that he will permanently withdraw from the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament and will no longer participate in any group's competitions. His treatment will be the same as that of Pei Han, Wei Yingxiao, Jiang Yan, Zhang Qingxi, and others.

At this year's end, Sun Yanwan missed Shi Si very much, as well as Sun Lingdie, Nanmeng Palace, and his two good friends. However, Wang Xuangui and Zhang Yuanqiao did not allow him to leave Lingjian Peak, so he could only exchange letters frequently and send his thoughts back by wild geese. The real person could not return.

Sun Yanwan really wanted Shi Si and the others to return to Songyang Mountain, but he didn't dare to write a letter to call Shi Si back...

Hard to do!
Nowadays, almost all the disciples on Mount Songyang have accepted Yang Diao'er's existence. This little saintess of the Demonic Sect has no confinement order and has already traveled all over the six peaks of Mount Songyang when she has nothing to do.

At the end of the year, Yang Diao'er acted like a little mistress, accompanying Sun Yanwan in receiving visiting fellow disciples. Even Sun Yanwan felt that this matter was a bit abstract.

During the Spring Festival, Sun Yanwan also took Yang Diao'er with her to kowtow to Zhang Yuanqiao, and together they paid their respects to their grandmaster, the recluse Wang Xuangui, as well as their five uncles, and the senior brothers and sisters from various mountain sects...

After the New Year, Zhang Yuanqiao called Sun Yanwan over and said, "You've grown another year older, and there are some things you should do."

Just as Sun Yanwan was about to ask what it was about, Zhang Yuanqiao continued, "In a few days, your eldest grand-uncle, along with several other uncles, will be going to Shaochan Temple. You must come along too."

Sun Yanwan was taken aback and asked somewhat anxiously, "Why make such a big fuss?"

Zhang Yuanqiao said irritably, "If it weren't for such a grand display, how could we explain it to Da Ku and Kong Chan?"

"If you don't bring back a Yang Diao'er, your sixth uncle only needs to make one trip."

"You went to Zhoujia Mountain to steal a bride, making the whole world know about it. The incident caused a huge uproar. If the seven of us hadn't joined forces, do you think Da Ku and Kong Chan would have been able to swallow this insult?"

"You bastard, you don't know anything."

This was the first time Sun Yanwan had been scolded by her teacher since becoming his apprentice, but she felt unusually at ease. She quickly knelt on the ground and sincerely kowtowed several times.

He didn't know what to do about this.
He had been troubled by this for a long time, but he never expected that his master, senior uncles and senior brothers had already come up with a solution for him.

The Songyang Sect is one of the three great martial arts holy lands in the world. Among the Seven Friends of Songyang, Zhang Yuanqiao is one of the four grandmasters in the world, and the other six are also grandmasters. When the seven of them join forces, there is no other group in the world with such a lineup.

Sun Yanwan felt quite ashamed, as this was the first time he had to ask his elders to step in to handle something he couldn't do on his own.

Zhang Yuanqiao cursed a couple of times, chased him away, and happily went to take a bath behind Taiyi Temple.

Sun Yanwan also found a scenic spot behind the Taiyi Temple on Lingjian Peak. It was secluded, had a mountain view, and a mountain spring. He built a bathhouse there just like the one in the temple. He didn't go there often, but Zhang Yuanqiao went there frequently.

Sun Yanwan had actually thought about taking Yang Diao'er to take a bath with him, but the little princess of the Demonic Sect refused to agree no matter what, which made him very disappointed.

Just a few days after the New Year, Zhang Yuanqiao and others took Sun Yanwan down the mountain. This was the first time he had descended Lingjian Peak since being confined. Zhang Yuanqiao also said that this trip to Shaochan Temple was a special case. After proposing marriage at Shaochan, he would return to Lingjian Peak to continue his seclusion. He would not be allowed to leave until he had achieved the Xiantian realm.

Sun Yanwan had a terrible headache, but there was nothing he could do. After months of seclusion on Lingjian Peak, he was finally able to descend the mountain. Although he was accompanied by seven senior masters, he, a top scholar of the current dynasty with both official and private ranks, had to act humble and subservient. He took care of everything himself, from finding food and lodging to feeding the horses, just like when he and Miao Youxiu traveled the world together.
