Chapter 5: Cultivation Methods Secretly Stored

  The sky is bright and clear, with clouds and mist at the Xiyuan Hot Spring in the Western Garden of the Mountain Villa.

  "Ah, it's so comfortable!"

  Qin Yu wore a pair of shorts and lay down in the hot spring, regardless of whether it was winter or summer, he didn't need to worry about the temperature in the hot spring. The hot spring at Yunwu Villa was different from others, with magical effects. According to some medical experts' research, there were many substances in this hot spring that were beneficial to the body.

  "Come down, Xiao Hei!" Qin Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed 'Xiao Hei', tossing it into the hot spring.

  At that moment, 'Little Black' flapped its wings in a hurry, but unfortunately, by the time it escaped, its feathers were all wet, and it had truly become a drowned chicken. 'Little Black' was dripping with water, and 'Yuanyuan' looked at Qin Yu as if blaming its master for teasing it.

  Seeing the appearance of 'Little Black', Qin Yu burst out laughing: "Haha, Little Black, you're really cute! Come on, let's soak in the hot spring together, it's very comfortable. You'll be soaring through the nine heavens as a majestic eagle in the future, if you can't even get wet, that would be useless!"

  Qin Yu made fun of Xiao Hei, but Xiao Hei flapped its wings to shake off the water droplets on its body and stared at Qin Yu, seemingly very dissatisfied.

  "Little Yu." Lian walked over from the western corridor with a smile, circling around the artificial hill to appear before Qin Yu. Qin Yu turned his head and immediately burst out laughing: "Grandpa Lian."

  "I have some good news to tell you." Lian Yan said mysteriously, and Qin Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat with excitement. "Good news? Has Father arrived?" he thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud, instead eagerly looking at Lian Yan.

  Lian said with a smile: "The various secret recipes you wanted have arrived."

  Qin Yu felt a slight disappointment in his heart, but as he recovered from the disappointment, Qin Yu suddenly jumped out of the hot spring, quickly put on his clothes, and his eyes were filled with excitement: "Lian Grandfather, take me away quickly, where is the secret book?"

  No one can help themselves, only their own hard work and bitter struggle.

  "Follow me." Lian Yan smiled and led the way, Qin Yu's heart was excited as he followed behind Lian Yan, but in his mind, he had made up his mind. In the past, Qin Yu's life was dull and uneventful, spending most of his time reading books in his study, gazing at the starry night sky, soaking in hot springs, or playing with Xiao Hei.

  But at this moment, Qin Yu's heart had a goal, and his whole person was full of energy, even his temperament had changed.

  Yunwu Manor, in the underground secret chamber group of Beiyuan.

  The underground chamber group has dozens of chambers, and Lian spoke with Qin Yu as they entered one of the chambers. This chamber only had a bed, a long table, a chair, and other daily necessities, looking very simple.

  At this moment, on the long table, a delicate black box was placed.

  "Xiao Yu, those secret books are in this box." Lian Yan pointed to the black box and said. Qin Yu heard this and his eyes lit up immediately. He rushed forward to open the black box. This action startled Lian Yan.

  "Xiao Yu, don't open it!" Lian Yan's right hand suddenly flashed like a phantom and grabbed Qin Yu, pulling him up and putting him behind him. He said very seriously, "Xiao Yu, this box is not an ordinary box, you can't just open it like that!"

  Qin Yu looked at Lian Yan with confusion.

  "Xiao Yu, you're too young and don't understand the value of these secret recipes." Lian Yan shook his head with a smile. "Do you know that the value of these secret recipes even surpasses the treasures hidden in the imperial palace of the Chu Kingdom? That's why this box is constructed in such an unusual way - forcing it open or opening it carelessly will destroy the secrets inside."

  As he spoke, Lian's hands moved like phantoms, tapping the trunk twelve times in an instant, each time at a different spot.

  "With a 'pong!' sound, a keyhole suddenly appeared on the box."

  Qin Yu's eyes widened, he remembered clearly that there was no keyhole on the box just now. He thought this box was just an ordinary box with a flat surface, and it was just a normal lid-type box, but he didn't expect its internal structure to be so extraordinary.

  "Even if someone else took it, they wouldn't be able to find the keyhole, and there's no key either." Lian Yan said as he pulled out a golden key, inserted it into the keyhole, and with a "click", the box automatically opened.

  Qin Yu immediately stretched his head out to look.

  At a glance, the black box contains book after book of extremely thin books. Each book has only about ten or so pages, with some having only a few pages, and the thickest ones have only over twenty pages, but such thin books fill up the entire box.

  "There are top-notch internal skills and secret methods inside, with 68 secret books and 28 external skill secret books. Xiao Yu, from now on, you must come to the secret room to read these secret books, absolutely do not take them out. Do you understand?" Lian Yan's face was serious as he spoke to Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

  "Alright, you've learned to read before the age of six and have been reading many books for two years. You can understand these secret manuals yourself, take your time to read them, Grandfather will leave first." Lian Yan said with a smile, then left the secret room.

  After waiting for a whole night to leave, Qin Yu alone took out all the secret books and placed them on the table. There were a total of ninety-six secret books, filling up the long table completely.

  Looking at the secret book in front of him, Qin Yu's eyes emitted an unprecedented glow.

  "Ode to the Yellow Crane", "One Hundred Sentences Chapter", "Golden Tripod Song", "Song of Picking Gold", "Water Origin Annotation", ……

  A book of internal martial arts secrets, each one taken out is a secret that drives warriors crazy. The Qin family's heritage is long and far-reaching, even the three major dynasties' secrets can't compare to the Qin family's. Many of these Qin family secrets have been lost for hundreds of years.

  " 'Ancestral Dragon Manual', I think my father showed it to me when I was a kid?" Qin Yu looked at the last and originally thinnest secret book, made of the same material but the most precious one. The "Ancestral Dragon Manual" was written on golden paper, even the three big words 'Ancestral Dragon Manual' gave people a sense of oppression.

  Having gone through sixty-eight top internal martial arts manuals, Qin Yu looked towards twenty-eight external martial arts secret books.

  Iron Sand Palm, Great Strength Vajra Palm, Dragon Claw Fist, Iron Cloth Shirt, Vajra Cover, Thirteen Taibao Cross Practice, Overlord Divine Fist...

  Twenty-eight kinds of external skill secrets were placed one by one in front of Qin Yu's eyes.

  At first, Qin Yu casually picked up a book and began to slowly flip through it. In the secret room, Qin Yu became completely absorbed in flipping through the various precious cultivation manuals that the Qin family had collected over who-knew-how-many generations...
