Chapter 32: Shards of the Book Spirit

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, you have triggered the Book Immortal System task [Su Yang's Secret Method]."

  "Mission content: Learn the 'Suoyang Secret Method' from the Nine Yin Scripture and successfully apply it to Yin Zhiping."

  "Task time limit: within one hour."

  "Quest Reward: One Mysterious Treasure Chest."

  Upon hearing the Book Spirit System's prompt, Wu Ming was overjoyed. It seemed that even the Book Spirit System supported his actions.

  In the "Nine Yin True Classics" martial arts chapter, there is a record of a ruthless and poisonous ultimate skill called "Suoyang Secret Method".

  The so-called "Locking Yang Secret Method" is, as the name suggests, a way to lock up a man's yang energy, and over time, this person will gradually become neither male nor female, similar to the existence of Thai ladyboys.

  This is absolutely the greatest punishment for a normal man.

  Actually, Wu Ming had also thought of a permanent solution to get rid of the troubles once and for all by secretly eliminating Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing.

  But later on careful consideration, it is not suitable after all.

  Xiao Long Nu was a kind-hearted woman and would definitely not want to do this herself. Wu Ming did not want to disappoint her.

  Wu Ming comes from modern society and has a natural aversion to killing in his mind. In his view, it's naturally best to solve problems without killing people.

  Zhao Zhi's kung fu has been exhausted, and even his internal energy was drained by him while he was unconscious, so he is no longer a threat.

  As for Yin Zhiping, this time trying to kill his fellow disciple has already committed a major taboo of the Quanzhen Sect, and will definitely be severely punished, even if it means being expelled from the sect and having their martial arts skills abolished. With this "Lock Yang Secret Method", Wu Ming thinks that he can rest easy.

  Is everything really going to go as he wishes?

  It is truly said that the affairs of the world are unpredictable. Wu Ming did not know that his actions this time would later give rise to an existence even more terrifying than Dongfang Bubai from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". This is a story for another time and will not be told for now.

  And Wu Ming thought of this wonderful idea and immediately began to take action.

  Although Wu Ming couldn't learn the internal skills of the Nine Yin Manual, the martial arts section was a different story. There were many extraordinary techniques inside, such as the "Relieving Acupoints Secret Method", "Breath-holding Secret Method" and "Finger Flicking Divine Ability" mentioned in The Return of the Condor Hero, all of which he mastered.

  As for "Suoyang Secret Method", although he hadn't learned it before, for a master of martial arts like him who has reached the pinnacle, learning this secret skill would only take a minute.

  As expected, Wu Ming referred to the "Suoyang Secret Method" and quickly found the key to this kung fu, integrating it seamlessly.

  This secret technique is indeed ruthless and absolute!

  Yin Zhiping, you're in trouble this time.

  Wu Ming's heart was filled with a mix of emotions, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh. This secret technique that went against the harmony of nature really wasn't suitable to exist in this world. If it weren't for the fact that Yin Zhi Ping was someone Wu Ming extremely disliked, and his temperament had changed from being similar to the divine eagle's to becoming sinister and venomous, Wu Ming felt that he might not have been able to bring himself to use this technique.

  With lightning speed, Wu Ming followed the "Su Yang Secret Method" and sealed off several hidden acupoints on Yin Zhi Ping's lower body with his exquisite dark poison techniques. These acupoints were extremely well-hidden, and ordinary martial artists wouldn't even notice their existence.

  The procedure was completed, and Yin Zhiping's yang energy began to slowly dissipate. Meanwhile, Yin Zhiping, who was in a state of deep sleep, was completely unaware of everything. Even until the end, he did not know that the mastermind behind it all was his most hated enemy, Wu Ming.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have completed the Book Spirit System task [Suoyang Secret Method], and you will be rewarded with a mysterious treasure chest."

  The mysterious treasure chest, in Wu Ming's eyes, was a huge treasure trove that could produce anything he could think of from the world of martial arts, as well as special items from the APP book Xian system game. And what treasure would it produce this time? Wu Ming was truly filled with anticipation.

  Eagerly opening the mysterious treasure chest in the Book Immortal System space, Wu Ming was surprised to find that this time he had obtained a special Dao tool fragment - [Book Immortal Time-Space Fragment].

  Speaking of this 【Book Immortal Time-Space Fragment】, Wu Ming still remembers that in the Book Immortal system APP game he used to play, this is a prop that can synthesize 【Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate】, with this prop, you can randomly change levels in that APP game, equivalent to virtual games.

  In this incredibly realistic Divine Eagle world, what kind of effect would this Book Spirit fragment have? Wu Ming couldn't help but immediately check it out.

  "【Book Immortal Time-Space Fragment】: A special prop, it is a transmission fragment left by the Book Immortal in the book world. Collecting two fragments can synthesize 【Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate】, and this prop can be used to randomly transmit to other book worlds."

  "Note: This fragment can only be obtained through the Book Immortal system task reward, and each book world can only reward two fragments. Please keep it safe."

  After reading the introduction of the props, Wu Ming's heart was filled with shock, although he had expected it earlier. This undoubtedly proved that as long as he got another piece of 【Book Immortal Time-Space Shard】, he could synthesize a 【Book Immortal Time-Space Transmission Gate】 and then go to other book worlds.

  For Wu Ming, who had read countless books, this was absolutely a huge temptation.

  Apart from the regret of Shen Diao, Wu Ming also had dissatisfaction with many other books. If he hadn't spent four years with Little Dragon Girl and established a deep emotional connection, Wu Ming believed that he might not have been able to resist this temptation, and after obtaining the transmission portal, he would enter those worlds and change the fate of the characters in those books.

  Now, Wu Ming couldn't bear to part with the pure and kind, beauty-like-heavenly Little Dragon Girl, nor could he bear to part with the kind-hearted and loving Granny Sun who loved him like her own son, so he naturally took many things lightly.

  Forget it, being able to enter the world of The Return of the Condor Hero and be with Little Dragon Maiden is already my greatest fortune, why bother going into other book worlds?

  Wu Ming smiled and casually threw the Book of Sages' Time-Space Fragment into the Book of Sages' Storage Box.

  Looking at Yin Zhiping, who was knocked out by the sleep-inducing acupoint and knew nothing, Wu Ming didn't know if his actions were right or wrong, but he had no regrets. If given another chance to choose, he would still do the same, after all, it was for Yin Zhiping's sake.

  Wu Ming did not continue to stay in the forest, but instead picked up Yun Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing, who were unconscious, one in each hand, and headed towards the Quanzhen Sect mountain gate.

  Passing through the forest, we come to an open space in front of the woods, where many Taoist temples of the Quanzhen School are located.

  Wu Ming spent most of his four years studying martial arts in ancient tombs, accompanied by Little Dragon Girl and Old Lady Sun.

  They were both his closest people, and they couldn't bear to hurt each other, which was a fatal weakness in actual combat.

  When it comes to fighting against enemies, that is when life and death are at stake, survival or demise are decided in an instant, not allowing for any slight carelessness.

  Wu Ming was well aware of his own lack of combat experience. Previously, when he caught Yin Zhiping in the forest, although he seemed very relaxed on the way back, he had actually almost fallen into the opponent's ambush. Fortunately, Wu Ming's martial arts were much stronger than his opponent, otherwise the outcome would have been uncertain.

  This also made Wu Ming think of using Quanzhen Sect as the first trial stone.

  Wu Ming walked calmly towards the mountain gate and called out loudly: "Is anyone from the Quanzhen Sect here? Yang Wuming, a disciple of the Ancient Tomb School, requests to see Ma Yu and Ma Zhangjiao."

  Wu Ming's call was not loud, but it contained a gentle and prolonged inner force that instantly spread throughout the entire Taoist temple near the mountain gate, startling many early-rising Quanzhen disciples.

  Wu Ming's arrogant behavior and stunning performance four years ago had long been circulating within the Quanzhen Sect, with some low-ranking disciples secretly admiring him even more, of course, there were also those who hated him to the bone, such as Lu Qingdiao.

  After hearing Wu Ming's request for an audience, many Quanzhen disciples stopped their morning exercises and began whispering to each other.

  "Yang Wu Ming? Isn't he Yang Guo who left our Quanzhen Sect four years ago? How did he come here?"

  "Those who come are not good, and the good ones do not come. It is said that Yang Wuming defeated our Quanzhen Sect's Master Yin and Master Zhao at a young age, now he has come again, could it be that he wants to challenge someone once more?"

  "It's hard to say, but this Yang Wuming is quite sinister. This time he comes, perhaps our Quanzhen Sect will suffer again."

  "Don't be intimidated by others' arrogance, and don't lose your own momentum. Our great Quanzhen Sect will not be afraid of this audacious and treacherous cur who dares to challenge his master and ancestors. Let's go and meet this Yang Wuming, see what skills he has learned over the years that makes him dare to come here and provoke us openly."

  The one who spoke was Lu Qingzhuan, who had a deep-seated hatred for Wu Ming. With the support of this hatred, he had been studying diligently over the years. Coupled with Zhao Zhijing's intentional nurturing, among the many fourth-generation disciples, he had already become a prominent figure.
