Chapter 56: Old Friend from Shadow Pavilion

Shangguan Jiannan was shocked, thinking to himself: Why did Yin Wuqing mention the Shadow Pavilion? He whispered: "Disciple knows something."

Yin Wuqing continued, "What is the relationship between Shadow Pavilion and you? You might as well tell me."

Shangguan Jiannan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Disciple did have contact with the Shadow Pavilion, but the specific circumstances..."

Yin Wuqing laughed and interrupted him: "It seems that you still don't trust me. No problem, I'll show you why I am so familiar with your skills."

Yin Wuqing stood beside a huge rock, and suddenly he moved, disappearing like a ghost. A moment later, he appeared behind Shangguan Jiannan, the long sword in his hand glowing with a cold light. Shangguan Jiannan was shocked, this was the body movement of Xuantian Taoist - Shadow Escape Technique.

Yin Wuqing smiled and said, "This is just part of the Shadow Escape Technique. Now look at my swordsmanship."

He swung his sword and a black sword light cut through the sky and hit the stone wall beside him. This sword was the "Night Shadow Slash" of the Dark Night Heart Sword.

Shangguan Jiannan's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "This... This is the swordsmanship of Taoist Xuantian. How could you be like this?"

Yin Wuqing sheathed his sword and sighed, "Back then, I followed Taoist Xuantian to learn swordsmanship. Although I didn't get his true teachings, I did learn a little bit. Your "Night Shadowless Heart Method" and "Dark Night Heart Sword Method" are exactly Taoist Xuantian's unique skills."

Shangguan Jiannan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Master Xuantian is no longer here. He was seriously injured in a battle with a powerful enemy, and finally turned into a soul and dissipated between heaven and earth."

Yin Wuqing's expression changed, but then he regained his composure: "So that's how it is. Taoist Xuantian is a senior whom I have respected all my life. Now that I hear the news about him, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart."

Yin Wuqing nodded and said, "Since you have accepted me as your master, I will teach you some advanced skills. Let's start with the "Night Shadowless Heart Method"."

Yin Wuqing brought Shangguan Jiannan to a valley full of spiritual energy. It was surrounded by rich shadow spiritual energy, which was perfect for practicing the "Night Shadowless Heart Method".

Yin Wuqing said: "The Night Shadowless Heart Method is not only a method to improve the shadow spirit, but also a unique method to train the mind."

Shangguan Jiannan sat cross-legged and began to practice his mental skills. Yin Wuqing instructed him, "When practicing your mental skills, you must completely immerse your mind in the darkness and feel the spiritual energy around you as if it were a part of your body."

Shangguan Jiannan followed his master's instructions and gradually entered the state. As his mind method was running, he felt the shadow spirit energy around him pouring into his body like a tide, his meridians gradually expanded, and the spirit energy became more and more abundant.

Yin Wuqing explained: "The spiritual energy in the cold moon cold pond can help you make further progress. Today I will personally protect you and let you make a complete breakthrough in the cold pond."

Shangguan Jiannan nodded and then dived into the depths of the cold pond. He felt that the concentration of spiritual energy in the water was stronger than last time, and immediately used his mental skills to absorb the spiritual energy. As time went by, the spiritual energy in his body gradually became saturated, and the power in his dantian became stronger.

Yin Wuqing was guarding him on the shore, always paying attention to what was happening around him.

Shangguan Jiannan entered the cold pond again to practice in order to further improve his strength. Under the protection of his master Yin Wuqing, he once again entered the cold moon cold pond.

Yin Wuqing stood by the pond, his eyes deep: "Jiannan, this Lengyuehantan is not only a place where spiritual energy gathers, but also a perfect place for practicing the Shadow Yinhan technique."

Shangguan Jiannan sat cross-legged on the edge of the cold pond, practicing the "Night Shadowless Heart Technique".

As his mental method was put into practice, he felt the dark spiritual energy around him rapidly pouring into his body, and his entire body seemed to merge into one with the cold pond.

The spiritual energy in his body continued to accumulate, and the power in his dantian gradually increased.

Yin Wuqing watched from the side and gave timely instructions: "Feel the Lengyue Youcao and Lengyue Hanjing in the cold pond. The spiritual energy they emit will accelerate your cultivation process."

Shangguan Jiannan closed his eyes and concentrated, gradually feeling the special energy in the cold pond.

The Lengyue Grass emitted a faint blue light, which contained a strong cold and gloomy aura. After it merged into his body, it made his cultivation more refined.

The Cold Moon Crystal is an extremely rare treasure that emits an icy aura that can enhance his shadow perception.

After the training, Shangguan Jiannan slowly opened his eyes and felt the spiritual energy in his body replenishing and his strength increasing.

He looked at his master Yin Wuqing, full of gratitude: "Master, the spiritual energy in this Lengyuehantan is so rich. I feel that my cultivation speed is much faster than outside."

Yin Wuqing nodded: "That's right, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Lengyue Cold Pond is far higher than that in the outside world. This is inseparable from the Lengyue Youcao and Lengyue Hanjing in the cold pond. These treasures are only suitable for warriors who practice the Shadow Yinhan technique. Ordinary warriors cannot benefit from them."

Yin Wuqing continued, "Cold Moon Ghost Grass is an extremely rare spiritual grass that can only grow in an extremely cold environment. It can help practitioners absorb shadow spiritual energy faster and improve their cultivation rapidly. Cold Moon Cold Crystal is a naturally formed crystal between heaven and earth. It contains powerful icy power and can enhance your shadow perception, making you more perceptive in battle."

Shangguan Jiannan nodded, his heart filled with awe for these treasures. He asked, "Master, are there any other treasures in the cold pond?"

Yin Wuqing smiled and said, "You are right. There are many unknown treasures hidden in the Lengyuehantan. As long as you are willing to explore, you will definitely find something."

Shangguan Jiannan decided to dive into the depths of the cold pond again to search for the treasures inside. He held his breath and dived into the depths of the cold pond like a swimming fish.

The water temperature of the cold pond is extremely low, but for someone like him who practices the Dark Shadow Cold Technique, it is the best training environment.

As he went deeper, the spiritual energy around him became more and more dense. In the depths of the cold pond, he found a crystal stone emitting blue light. This crystal stone was larger than the previous cold moon cold crystal, and the light was more intense.

Yin Wuqing was watching from the shore. Seeing Shangguan Jiannan discover a new treasure, he nodded slightly and said, "That is the Lengyue Mysterious Crystal, which is more precious than the Lengyue Cold Crystal. It can not only enhance your shadow perception, but also improve your cultivation and take your skills to a higher level."

Shangguan Jiannan carefully took out the Lengyue Mysterious Crystal and felt the powerful force contained in it. He knew that this treasure would be of great help to his cultivation.

After returning to the shore with the Leng Yue Xuan Crystal, Shangguan Jiannan immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the crystal.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, the strength in his body increased rapidly, and the spiritual energy in his dantian gathered quickly like a rushing river.

Yin Wuqing stood guard beside him, giving instructions from time to time: "When practicing the mental method, you must merge the power of the Lengyue Mysterious Crystal with your own spiritual energy and make it a part of your body."

Shangguan Jiannan followed his master's instructions and gradually integrated the power of the Lengyue Mysterious Crystal into his body. He felt that the flow of spiritual energy in his body was smoother and his power was stronger.

Finally, with the injection of the last bit of spiritual energy, the strength in his body reached a critical point and he suddenly broke through to become a two-star sword king.

In the past, Shangguan Jiannan was just an outer disciple on the edge of the sect, and he rarely set foot in the mysterious corners deep in the sect.

However, the wheel of fate turned quietly, and everything became completely different since he followed Yin Wuqing's cold figure.

The two of them shuttled back and forth across the vast edge of the martial arts training ground. The boundary that was once out of reach seemed to be gently erased by an invisible hand.

Shangguan Jiannan followed Yin Wuqing's steps closely, taking each step with unprecedented determination and expectation. As the path wound deeper, a more tranquil and solemn world gradually appeared before his eyes - that was the inner courtyard, the holy place for the inner disciples to practice and live.

Yin Wuqing's voice sounded at the right time, like a wisp of fresh breeze in the ice: "In front of us is the inner courtyard, where the sect's elites gather."
