A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

After thoroughly reviewing the resources in the back mountain, Lu Ming left and returned to the manor, investing the remaining resources in the Enlightenment Forest Stele.

A flash of light appeared, and huge stone tablets rose from the ground, their surfaces blank, without any writing.

Besides the resources provided by the back mountain, the Enlightenment Forest Stele is the most useful. The former provides materials needed for divine weapons and precious elixirs, while the latter can be used to improve and fuse cultivation techniques.

Internal energy cultivation methods are divided into three categories: Yang, Yin, and Harmony. The Nine Yang Manual belongs to Yang, the Nine Yin Manual belongs to Yin, and the Purple Cloud Divine Skill belongs to Harmony. It is moderate, continuous, and progressive. As long as one has good talent, diligent practice will still be effective.

When internal strength attributes are paired with suitable martial arts, the effect of 1+1 is greater than 2. For example, the Nine Yang Manual paired with the powerful and domineering Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms can easily crush an elephant in one move.

There are many factors that determine success or failure; you just need to find the path that suits you to perform better than others.

Lin Yuantu was able to give his younger brother a long vacation, and with the help of his old Yin-attribute internal energy cultivation method, he defeated many martial arts masters and established the foundation of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

This is the result of choices being more important than effort; suitability is truly crucial.

Switching to a different cultivation method is very difficult. At best, it will destroy your internal energy cultivation; at worst, it will cause you to suffer a qi deviation and die suddenly.

The advantage of having a lineage of masters is that the sect's internal cultivation methods are progressive and compatible, and switching between cultivation methods does not cause any delay. Taking the Qi Sect of the Huashan Sect as an example, after perfecting the Huashan internal cultivation method, one can practice the Hunyuan Yiqi Gong, and after perfecting it, one can switch to the Zixia Divine Skill. There is no need to disperse one's cultivation and start over, and the methods can be perfectly compatible.

The Enlightenment Forest Stele perfectly solved this problem. These steles allowed Lu Ming to imprint his internal energy cultivation methods and martial arts moves into them, enabling him to cultivate multiple methods and integrate them without conflict.

Those who can enter the manor can also benefit from the stele forest and receive martial arts inheritance.

With the Enlightenment Forest Stele, learning the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Nine Yin Manual, and integrating the two, is no longer a dream.

Imagine an internal skill that possesses both the vigorous and inexhaustible power of the Nine Yang and the unpredictable and gentle nature of the Nine Yin. It can master any skill and perfectly leverage the amplification of internal power. Who could possibly defeat it?

Given time to practice his skills, let alone defeating Ouyang Feng, defeating the Five Greats by himself would be no difficult task.

He sat cross-legged on the central futon, took out the "Pitying Flower Treasure Mirror," and began to study its cultivation methods. Its attribute was Yin, which didn't conflict with the Purple Cloud Divine Art, and he could forcefully cultivate it and succeed, though it would leave behind hidden injuries.

Now, practicing here is different. Once you enter the door, it's like you've already connected two different methods, and they won't interfere with each other.

[The Compassionate Flower Mirror (A): Grants immunity to mental cultivation techniques and mental drugs; doubles the power of the Heavenly Cloud Five-Flower Cotton Technique.]

As expected of a top-tier internal skill, the damage increase is straightforward and powerful. Besides the damage increase, the immunity to mental influence is the key feature.

Sonic martial arts are mostly capable of captivating the mind, instilling fear, confusion, or anger. The drumming during battles is also a form of sonic spiritual influence, greatly boosting morale.

"It seems that Shiyin once said that Fairy Yunmeng is good at mental cultivation techniques. The Lianhua Treasure Mirror that she optimized is indeed quite interesting."

Lu Ming overlooked the following sentence: "This person has the art of preserving her youth, like a woman of sixteen or seventeen, with an exquisitely beautiful face, fair and tender skin, and a curvaceous figure. With such a figure, she would naturally be invincible when using her seductive arts."

Once the cultivation reaches perfection, one can go into seclusion to fuse the two techniques, combining them into one. This not only increases the power but also preserves the unique characteristics of the cultivation method. There's no need to worry about losing the enhanced sensory and healing effects of the Purple Cloud Divine Art; in fact, it amplifies one's special abilities, making it practically perfect.

The reason for fusion is that only one of the cultivation techniques' characteristics can be effective at a time. It's impossible to have both; the only way to have both is to fuse them in seclusion at home.

【Tianyun Five-Flower Cotton (A): A hidden weapon technique exclusive to Fairy Yunmeng; even flying flowers and fallen leaves can injure people. It can be used to craft unique poison-based hidden weapons.】

[Netherworld Yin-Yang Palm (A): This palm technique carries an inherent chilling and malevolent aura. Hitting an enemy inflicts a freezing or numbing effect, further disrupting their internal energy flow.]

Besides these three sets of moves, the Lianhua Baojian also covers medical and poison techniques, as well as knowledge of disguise and other skills—essential knowledge for navigating the martial world and engaging in murder and robbery.

As darkness fell, Lu Ming had an idea and returned to Li Garden.

Back in his room, the maid Chun Tao greeted him with delight: "Master, Madam is looking for you. Scholar Li has arranged for the garden to be handed over to you, and Madam is currently handling this matter in the flower hall."

"Prepare dinner and take it to the flower hall."

Lu Ming no longer cares much about Li Yuan as part of his dowry; he originally just wanted to try and unlock the manor entry. Now that he has a homestead, this place has naturally become obsolete.

Upon arriving at the flower hall, Lin Shiyin, with a touch of mature femininity in her eyes, stood up in surprise and took his arm, her gaze filled with infatuation.

"Husband, my cousin has prepared the transfer documents and is just waiting for you to sign them."

Before the wedding night, she only liked it. After experiencing the benefits of the "Yin-Yang Intercourse" entry, her feelings turned into love. She tasted the pleasure and was craving more. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given out the Homestead Jade Pendant.

Lu Ming smiled at her, then turned to Li Xunhuan: "Brother Li, change your name to Shiyin. I'm not exactly a righteous person, and my master taught me that a gentleman loves money but acquires it in a proper way. Shiyin and I are husband and wife, so giving it to her is the same."

This shows he doesn't want to take advantage of others. Besides, giving the money to Lin Shiyin would improve his reputation and wouldn't prevent him from living off her.

He had already made up his mind to entrust this place to someone he trusted. He planned to take Lin Shiyin back to their homestead to live, and he would also frequently return to practice martial arts. Besides, it wouldn't be convenient to take her back to Mount Hua, so this arrangement would allow the couple to enjoy the benefits of being together frequently.

Li Xunhuan gave Lu Ming a deep look, then smiled with some relief: "Just now, Lu Xiaofeng made a bet with me, saying that you definitely wouldn't take over the manor. It seems I was wrong. Alright, let's do it your way."

Just then, the food was served, and Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang arrived just in time to freeload.

"I said you're all rich people, Shenzhen Manor and, well, since you're already here, let's eat first."

Lu Ming changed the subject before he finished speaking, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

Chu Liuxiang, in particular, was itching to see what Lu Ming was hiding.

These two are really something else. One is the son-in-law of the Divine Needle Manor, who has no male heirs. He monopolizes the embroidery of various countries' courts. His embroidery is exquisite and unparalleled, exclusively for the imperial court and high-ranking officials. It is priceless.

One is the Crown Prince of Annam, a small country that is among the wealthiest in the world, and as the crown prince, he is not short of money at all.

Oh, so one of them doesn't want to be a kept man, and the other doesn't know his background. Oh well, that makes sense.

"There are some things I still need to verify; hearsay is unacceptable. By the way, what are you planning to do next? I plan to go back to Mount Hua first, to rush back for the New Year, and to explain things to my master."

Li Xunhuan picked up the medicinal wine and drank a full cup. Life without wine was truly unbearable. "The Plum Blossom Bandits have been handed over. The Dragon Guard Manor and the Eastern Depot are vying for control. I also need to return to the capital to report on my duties."

Lu Xiaofeng smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the medicinal wine: "Your medicinal wine is something else, it tastes quite good. I need to go with Lao Xiang to investigate Jin Jiuling. He's in cahoots with the monk Wuhua, and they're involved in the recent mass killings of martial arts masters. You also need to be careful, they seem to have their eyes on you."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but ask, "Where did you learn about my background?"

Everyone has things they care about: family, relatives, power, martial arts. It seems that Chu Liuxiang still really wants to know about his origins.

While they were talking, Lu Ming had already finished a bowl of rice. Have you ever heard of the saying "Don't talk while eating"?

Lin Shiyin wiped his mouth, her eyes filled with adoration, her body and soul completely devoted to him. It seemed that after their wedding night, her internal energy had also improved considerably. She didn't like practicing martial arts, but she understood how precious it was.

While Lin Shiyin was getting her food, Lu Mingcai said, "It's not certain yet. I'll let you know when I have news. We're friends, so I can't tell you false information."

"Speaking of which, you all need to keep a close eye on your women. That monk Wuhua loves picking flowers and has no sense of morality. If you ever need anything, come to Mount Hua to find me. As long as you don't die, there's no injury in the world that I can't heal. Even if you eat Tianxiang Doukou, I can still heal you."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold voice rang out.

"Really? Then come with me to treat someone's illness."

Dressed in all black, wearing a mask, and exuding an aura of bone-chilling coldness, Yaoyue, disguised as a man, appeared.
