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

"Ah!" Li Mochou was startled and immediately darted behind Yin Zhiping.

"Brother Yin! He...he...he spoke!"

The old monk rose, dusted himself off, clasped his hands together, and smiled, "You jest, benefactor. I am not dead; how could I not speak?"

Yin Zhiping also stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Junior Yin Zhiping greets senior."

The old monk said, "This humble monk is Chengyun, the abbot of Shaolin Temple. Greetings."

Li Mochou asked in surprise, "So you're the abbot of Shaolin Temple! Your martial arts must be incredibly powerful. Why didn't you stop us from secretly learning your skills?"

Cheng Yun chuckled and said, "This Benefactor Yin's internal strength is quite formidable. This humble monk cannot defeat him, so I will not bother to retaliate."

Li Mochou exclaimed with delight, "Brother Yin is amazing! Even the abbot of Shaolin Temple can't beat you!"

Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "Don't be rude."

He then said to Chengyun, "It is truly impolite of us to enter Bao Temple without permission. We will leave as soon as we finish learning and will never pass it on to others. Please forgive us, Master."

Cheng Yun waved his hand and said, "Shaolin Temple has been closed for many years, and these classics have been neglected. If you two are willing to learn them, then you can learn them. It will prevent the classics from being tarnished. As long as you don't use them for evil, that's fine."

Yin Zhiping said, "Definitely not."

Li Mochou chimed in, "Yes, yes, now that we've learned these divine skills, we're going to uphold justice and fight crime!"

Glug glug...

As soon as she spoke, her stomach rumbled as if a building were collapsing.

Cheng Yun smiled and said, "Then this humble monk will go and prepare the vegetarian meal. Please wait a moment."

He then went out.

Yin Zhiping observed that the man's steps were steady and his breaths were long and continuous, without any pauses. He knew that this was a reclusive master.

Li Mochou said, "These Shaolin monks are really something. We came here to steal their martial arts secrets, and they actually prepared food for us."

Yin Zhiping said, "It seems that this one is the one who has truly severed all worldly ties, whose golden sea has dried up, and whose temperament and martial arts are both at their highest level."

After a while.

Cheng Yun returned with the food.

Three bowls of rice, a dish of pickled vegetables, and a dish of stir-fried greens.

Yin Zhiping led Li Mochou in bowing and sat down respectfully.

Cheng Yun put his hands together and silently recited the "Offering Verse".

Yin Zhiping then silently recited the mantra for purifying the mouth.

Li Mochou ate with great relish: "Delicious! This rice is as white and clean as pearls!"

After reciting the verse, Chengyun picked up his rice bowl and said with a smile, "This humble monk is old and can no longer eat so much. Would you please help me share some?"

Yin Zhiping frowned slightly as he saw Cheng Yun holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, his breath flowing continuously.

Li Mochou was overjoyed: "I'll do it! Master, give it to me!"

Cheng Yun said, "I'm afraid even you, young benefactor, can't finish this. I'll have to wait for this benefactor Yin to take my half bowl of rice."

"Huh?" Li Mochou was stunned, thinking to herself, "How dare this old monk underestimate me? I'm so hungry right now I could eat a whole cow."

Yin Zhiping gathered his strength, handed over the bowl, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master."

Cheng Yun nodded, gently placed his bowl against Yin Zhiping's bowl, and scooped away a mouthful of rice with his chopsticks.

In an instant, his expression changed slightly: "You have quite the appetite, benefactor!"

Yin Zhiping remained calm and easily neutralized the energy blast delivered by the other party, then used the Northern Darkness Divine Skill to absorb it into his dantian.

Such powerful internal energy!

Yin Zhiping was shocked, thinking to himself that this old monk's skill was probably no less than that of the Five Greats, or at least only slightly weaker!

It seems that Shaolin Temple has simply closed itself off from the world, but it is not that it lacks unparalleled masters.

He laughed and said, "Young man, you have a big appetite. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master."

Cheng Yun's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "Being able to eat is a blessing, have some more."

As he spoke, he scooped up a mouthful of rice with his chopsticks.

Yin Zhiping still caught it with one hand. Although he had only mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Art, its greatest advantage was that it could absorb the internal energy of others for his own use. In addition, he had profound internal energy, so he was not struggling to fight back at this moment.

Without this divine skill, relying solely on one's own internal strength to compete with Cheng Yun would require several rounds of fighting, with no clear winner.

Cheng Yun's expression finally softened, and he sighed inwardly, "At such a young age, he possesses such profound internal strength. At first, I thought I was mistaken, but after this test, I found it to be even stronger than I imagined."

Talented people emerge in every generation!

He delivered two bursts of internal energy in succession, enough to make even the most powerful martial arts masters in the world go to great lengths to deal with him.

But the boy remained unfazed and caught it with just one hand.

This is truly appalling!

Seeing the situation, Li Mochou realized what was happening and exclaimed, "So you two were fighting!"

"Master, is my brother Yin more capable, or are you?"

Cheng Yun, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, said, "I am far inferior to Benefactor Yin!"

That being said.

He channeled his internal energy to its fullest extent, like ocean waves, continuously surging forward!

Yin Zhiping felt his cheeks burning, and immediately reached out with both hands to receive it. He activated his internal energy, his blood and qi surged, and his heart pounded like thunder!

call--!!!

The two internal energies collided.

A strong wind suddenly arose, causing the pages of the books in the attic to rustle and the bookshelves to tilt.

"Ah!" Li Mochou exclaimed in surprise, feeling a tremendous force strike her. Her body was sent flying backward, and she landed on the wall with one foot.

Upon closer inspection.

Suddenly, the table legs started cracking and shattered into powder.

The stools they were sitting on shattered and floated away, but they didn't fall. Instead, they assumed a horse stance, propped up the table, and remained stable.

"Wow!" Li Mochou's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Brother Yin is amazing!"

Yin Zhiping's clothes fluttered in the wind, yet he remained completely at ease.

However, Cheng Yun was already running out of strength. In a short period of time, he had already exerted his strength nine times!

One attack after another, each stronger than the last!

He was confident in his internal strength, and his surging internal energy surged forth like a tidal wave. He had used all his strength in the ninth internal energy, but it vanished completely, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!

"You certainly have a good appetite!"

The two separated, and Cheng Yun had transferred all the rice from his bowl to Yin Zhiping's bowl, piling it high.

Li Mochou cheered, "We won!"

He stepped forward and said, "Master, there's not a single grain of rice in your bowl. Aren't you going to eat?"

Cheng Yun clasped his hands together, his face filled with shame, and said, "I just broke the precept against anger. This humble monk will fast for three days to purify my mind and spirit."

Yin Zhiping said, "Thank you, Master." He picked up a piece of pickled radish, placed it on his rice, and began to eat.

[Internal Strength: 64 years]

Just now, after a clash of pure internal energy, the Northern Darkness Divine Art absorbed nine years' worth of pure internal energy!

Master Chengyun's rice bowl.

Really fragrant!

Moreover, this is only the beginner level of the Northern Darkness Divine Art. If the level increases, it may be able to absorb more!

Cheng Yun let out a long breath, feeling his internal strength had weakened considerably, and smiled bitterly to himself.

This young man not only possessed profound internal strength, but also a divine skill that could absorb the internal energy of others; it was truly wondrous.

He couldn't help but ask, "With your superb martial arts skills, why do you come to Shaolin to learn martial arts?"

Yin Zhiping laughed and said, "Good food is never too much. I'm just a greedy person, and I always have to try the best things."

Cheng Yun smiled broadly and said, "Excellent, excellent."
