Chapter 48 For the Rest, I Will Spend the Rest of My Life Repaying Him!
Snow Moon City.
After returning to the mansion, Jiang Che went to check on Sikong Qianluo’s condition.
“My Lord…”
Seeing Jiang Che arrive, Jiang Yi immediately revealed himself from the shadows.
“Hmm, just keep watch.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yi responded, then seamlessly merged back into the darkness.
Jiang Che pushed open the wooden cabin door and examined Sikong Qianluo’s situation.
Her breathing was steady; the young girl was still integrating with the Fire Spirit Root.
After confirming everything was in order, Jiang Che finally felt at ease and left.
Afterward, Jiang Che visited Ye Ruoyi’s courtyard.
“Brother Jiang.”
Ye Ruoyi was delighted by Jiang Che’s arrival and quickly rose from the stone bench to greet him.
“Are you comfortable living here?”
Once they returned to the peach blossom tree, Jiang Che asked with a light smile.
“Thank you for your concern, Brother Jiang. I’m very comfortable here.”
Ye Ruoyi smiled sweetly.
She picked up a teacup from the stone table and poured Jiang Che a cup of warm tea.
Peach blossoms fluttered down, and the sunset cast its glow.
The remaining sunlight bathed Ye Ruoyi, elongating her shadow.
“Have you figured out the cultivation technique?”
Taking a sip of the hot tea, Jiang Che asked curiously.
“Not yet…”
Ye Ruoyi gently shook her head, a trace of worry appearing between her brows.
Although she possessed family-inherited martial arts techniques, they weren’t suitable for her cultivation.
Initially, she had intended to ask Sikong Qianluo for some martial arts manuals, but the other party had disappeared without a trace.
“I have a manual called the Nine Yin Manual. It should suit you well.”
“Why don’t we exchange techniques?”
Jiang Che pondered briefly and then spoke.
The Nine Yin Manual includes internal energy cultivation, martial arts techniques, light-footwork, and more. It even has sections like the Muscle-Tendon Changing Chapter and Soul-Moving Technique, making it highly suitable for Ye Ruoyi’s cultivation.
Meanwhile, Ye Ruoyi’s family-inherited internal cultivation technique was also a heaven-grade manual, perfect for Jiang Che to recycle into the system.
“Nine Yin Manual?”
“The legendary manual written by the Great Song Dynasty’s National Preceptor with his life’s work?”
Ye Ruoyi paused in surprise, asking with some astonishment.
Even though she lived in Snow Moon City, Ye Ruoyi had read extensively over the years and naturally heard of the Nine Yin Manual’s renown.
In the Song Dynasty, this Nine Yin Manual would undoubtedly be a martial treasure pursued by countless people—a supreme technique!
Although it was only a mid-tier heaven-grade manual, its broad scope and the included Muscle-Tendon Changing Chapter, which could improve martial talent, made it comparable to rumored high-tier heaven-grade manuals.
Ye Ruoyi never imagined that Jiang Che would possess such a divine martial art.
“Yes, it’s indeed the Nine Yin Manual written by Huang Shang.”
Jiang Che nodded with a smile.
“What do you think? Shall we exchange?”
“In that case, thank you, Brother Jiang…”
Ye Ruoyi’s heart warmed, unaware of Jiang Che’s hidden intentions.
In her eyes, Jiang Che asking for her family’s technique was merely a courteous gesture to give her some dignity.
After all, although her family’s technique was formidable, it couldn’t compare to the Nine Yin Manual.
This Nine Yin Manual is a supreme technique leading straight to martial transcendence!
Since I already owe Jiang Che so much, what difference would this one more debt make?
I will spend the rest of my life repaying him…
After instructing the maid to bring pen, ink, and paper, Jiang Che and Ye Ruoyi each began transcribing.
…
Two incense sticks’ time later, Jiang Che laid down his brush.
“Sister Ruoyi, this is the complete Nine Yin Manual.”
“Once you’ve memorized it, make sure to destroy it and don’t pass it on.”
Jiang Che handed the rice paper to Ye Ruoyi, reminding her seriously.
This Nine Yin Manual was a martial treasure, even for those with poor talent. Jiang Che didn’t want it widely circulated.
Though his relationship with Huang Shang meant the latter wouldn’t mind, the manual was still the result of the man’s life’s work.
“Rest assured, Brother Jiang, I understand!”
Ye Ruoyi also handed over her family’s martial arts manual to Jiang Che and nodded solemnly.
A treasure like the Nine Yin Manual would inevitably attract countless greedy eyes. She wouldn’t dare share it.
“Brother Jiang, I heard from Uncle Sikong that you’re from the Great Song Dynasty.”
“What’s your relationship with Huang Shang, the National Preceptor?”
After putting away the Nine Yin Manual, Ye Ruoyi asked curiously.
“He and I…”
“I guess you could say I’m a junior to him.”
Jiang Che thought for a moment before responding.
Although he had only met Huang Shang a few times, Jiang Che felt a deep sense of gratitude.
Without the Nine Yin Manual, he wouldn’t have reached his current level.
While it no longer held much use for him, the manual had laid the foundation for his martial cultivation.
Ye Ruoyi nodded lightly and didn’t ask further.
“It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Once you successfully cultivate the Nine Yin Manual, you can consume the Innate Pill.”
Jiang Che glanced over Ye Ruoyi’s family technique, then handed it over to the system.
“Take care, Brother Jiang!”
After Jiang Che left, Ye Ruoyi reluctantly retracted her gaze.
She picked up the Nine Yin Manual and returned to her room.
