All Heavens: Yin Zhiping, a Demon with a Daoist Heart!

With his physical constitution and comprehension improving, Yin Zhiping felt that his martial arts progress was accelerating. In the future, he might not need to rely too much on the system's help to improve his martial arts on his own.

The most exciting one is the [Complete Truth Method (Minor Success) → (Major Success)]!

In this way, he gained ten years' worth of pure internal energy, and his skill level increased greatly!

[Internal Strength: 55 years!]

There are very few people in the martial arts world with such formidable skills. If it weren't for the two of the Five Greats joining forces, Yin Zhiping could have roamed the martial arts world with impunity.

On the other hand, the [Yue Maiden Sword Technique] has finally been mastered, bringing it one step closer to the realm of returning to simplicity and breaking through three thousand armors with a single sword strike!

As for other martial arts techniques, they were not upgraded.

On the contrary, the [Massage Therapist] has reached level 4.

Today, Yin Zhiping has also discovered the wonders of this massage therapist. Using a level 4 massage technique to massage himself can soothe the meridians, relieve fatigue, and improve circulation.

After each day's training, a massage completely relieves fatigue and restores muscle strength. The next day, when I practice martial arts again, I don't feel any soreness or stiffness at all. It's really great.

In addition, there is the "Northern Darkness Divine Art"!

Although it's only a beginner and the understanding is superficial, it has greatly benefited Yin Zhiping's health.

For the past month, Yin Zhiping has been practicing this skill, hoping to absorb the internal energy of several people and make it his own.

After reviewing, close the panel.

Yin Zhiping led the horse up the steps, with the innocent and lively Li Mochou in his arms, her slender waist so delicate it could be encircled by one hand.

The girl's fragrance was subtle and refreshing.

Looking down, I saw that she was dressed in purple, with a slender figure, a full waist above her waist, and a round, full figure below her waist.

She leaned gently against Yin Zhiping. The blazing sun made her forehead covered in beads of sweat, which trickled down her fair neck and plunged into an unfathomable abyss.

Yin Zhiping was thoroughly impressed and nodded in approval.

[A sacred Buddhist site, yet lustful thoughts arise—condemned!!!]

Yin Zhiping smiled wryly.

Looking up, one sees yellow walls and green tiles, a continuous stretch of houses, on a grand scale, surrounded by dense trees that provide shade for more than ten miles.

"We've arrived!" Li Mochou exclaimed with delight.

Seeing that the temple gates were tightly closed and there wasn't a single worshipper, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Brother Yin, you said Shaolin Temple was closed due to special reasons, and it turns out that's true!"

Yin Zhiping said, "It seems we need to find other solutions."

"What method?"

"It's nothing more than the methods of scaling walls and sneaking into doors and picking locks."

"Ha! That's extremely interesting! But... although Shaolin Temple lives in seclusion, it must have many masters among its members, right?"

"It's alright, they probably can't beat me."

"What if we have a low probability of winning?"

"Then run."

The two dismounted, letting the little red horse graze on the flowers and grass in the mountains, while they circled around to the back of the temple and floated inside.

For more than a month, Yin Zhiping has been teaching Li Mochou Quanzhen martial arts. She has already mastered the Golden Goose Skill and learned the Quanzhen Sword Technique. Before long, the two of them will be able to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique together.

Enter the temple.

Silence.

The temple was clean and tidy, with no weeds on the ground, but there was not a single person in sight.

Li Mochou asked, "Brother Yin, why does Shaolin Temple remain secluded from the world? Even the Mount Hua Sword Tournament is deserted?"

Yin Zhiping had told her about the Mount Hua Sword Tournament and learned about the Five Greats, but no eminent monk from Shaolin Temple, a sacred place in the martial arts world, was selected.

"Could it be that the monks in the temple felt they weren't confident enough, fearing it would tarnish the reputation of Shaolin Temple, so they simply decided not to go?"

Yin Zhiping shook his head.

Li Mochou then asked, "Then does that mean... they have severed all ties with the mortal world, their golden sea has dried up, and although their martial arts are superb, they don't compete with others for power?"

Yin Zhiping also shook his head.

Shaolin Temple has dominated the martial arts world for so many years, and it has produced many eminent monks, but most of them still cannot reach the state of "severing worldly ties".

"Then why is that?"

Yin Zhiping said, "It was because a fire-making monk came from Shaolin Temple back then. He secretly learned the secret techniques but did not know the moves. In a competition, he mistakenly thought that his opponent was using a vicious move and suddenly killed him."

"Ah! So that's how it is!" Li Mochou exclaimed in surprise.

Yin Zhiping said, "Later, he killed several more people and fled to the Western Regions."

Li Mochou said angrily, "That scoundrel is truly despicable! He stole martial arts techniques and even killed someone!"

Yin Zhiping said, "There was a reason why he secretly learned martial arts. The monk who cooked for him often beat and scolded him, so he stole the skills."

Li Mochou retorted angrily, "How could this be? Even in this sacred Buddhist land, there are people like this, bullying the weak?"

Yin Zhiping laughed and said, "Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue. Monks are also people, so it's inevitable that such situations will arise."

Li Mochou nodded, unable to help but click her tongue in surprise.

As the two chatted, they arrived at a pavilion with the words "Scripture Repository" written on it.

Yin Zhiping said, "This is the place. We need to find the Lankavatara Sutra, the Yijinjing, and the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts."

"good!"

The two rushed into the pavilion, where only an old monk was sitting on a futon, dozing off.

Li Mochou said happily, "It seems that with the temple closed, there are fewer disciples. So many Buddhist classics and martial arts manuals are left unattended, with only an old monk."

Yin Zhiping noticed that the old monk's breathing was deep and his heart was pounding like a drum, clearly indicating that he possessed considerable internal strength. Perhaps he had sensed their arrival, but he continued to sleep, seemingly unwilling to pay attention.

He didn't care, and Yin Zhiping didn't care either, and began searching for ancient books with Li Mochou.

Soon, they found secret manuals such as the Lankavatara Sutra, the Yijinjing, the Wuxiang Jiezhi Manual, and the Prajna Palm Technique.

Yin Zhiping was overjoyed. He opened the Lankavatara Sutra and indeed found many small characters in the gaps. He immediately began to read them carefully.

Li Mochou also opened the Yi Jin Jing, glanced at it, found it uninteresting, and closed it again.

Seeing this, Yin Zhiping raised an eyebrow and said, "The Yi Jin Jing is a supreme manual in martial arts, coveted by countless people in the martial world. How come you obtained it but haven't studied it?"

Li Mochou said, "It's all just high-sounding principles, nothing interesting. I... I'm hungry, Brother Yin." She blushed.

Yin Zhiping said with delight, "The most interesting thing is that you don't find it interesting!"

Why do you say that?

Yin Zhiping then said, "Although the Yi Jin Jing is powerful, one must see through the illusions of self and others and have no intention of practicing martial arts in order to make progress."

"But who who practices this sutra doesn't want to gain benefits as soon as possible? To have a mind free from attachment is truly extremely difficult."

"Your boredom is a good thing; keep practicing, and your martial arts will surely reach great heights!"

Li Mochou said, "Brother Yin, you can teach me the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique when the time comes, that will be enough. Besides, you will protect me, so why would I need to cultivate the Yi Jin Jing?"

Yin Zhiping said, "With this enhancement, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique will undoubtedly become even stronger. At that time, we can combine our swords and roam the martial world, upholding justice and helping those in distress. Wouldn't that be even better?"

He kept talking, but Li Mochou only remembered the four words "double swords combined" in her mind. She was overjoyed and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Okay! I'll practice!" Li Mochou immediately opened the Yi Jin Jing and started reading, but after a short while, she felt sleepy again, and her stomach was rumbling.

Yin Zhiping smiled and continued to memorize the "Nine Yang True Scripture" recorded in the gaps of the Lankavatara Sutra, word by word.

Just then, the old monk said, "Are you two hungry? Would you like some vegetarian food?"
