Chapter 17: Jade Tripod Secret, Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Diagram "Why are you all looking at me?" The master's face was full of black lines, and hesitation appeared in his eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fuck, who told you to save my life!" "It's a huge loss..." Yunniang’s strength was far beyond his imagination. If Zhang Jiuyang hadn’t helped him this time, he would have surely died. And from the bottom of his heart, he admired this courageous and determined young man. Seeing him was as if he saw himself in his past. Not everyone is willing to take such a big risk to fight against evil. Therefore, although the master felt extremely painful, he still carefully took out something from his arms, which was tightly wrapped in cloth. "Take it. We are friends who have lived together for life. If someone finds out, you can't say it was given by me even if you bite yourself to death. Otherwise, I will go to jail..." Lao Gao is really loyal! Zhang Jiuyang took it curiously, opened the cloth wrapping it, and saw a thin yellow booklet with six ancient seal characters on it - Jade Ding Secret Mystical Skill.
I flipped through the book and saw a line of words clearly written on the first page. "The Imperial Observatory is a top secret. Anyone who leaks it will be punished according to the law and will not be forgiven!" Zhang Jiuyang frowned and said, "Lao Gao, are you really okay? Why don't you take it back?" Obviously, this was a top-secret technique within the Imperial Observatory, and he did not want to implicate his friends. The master was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Jiuyang could remain calm in the face of such a valuable treasure. This state of mind is truly rare. "It doesn't matter. This is not the method practiced by us in the Imperial Observatory. Instead, I bought it from the treasury of the Imperial Observatory with the good deeds I have accumulated over the past ten years." "They say it can't be passed on to others, but in reality, no one really investigates this kind of antique." "Old antique?" "Well, have you ever heard of Yuding Palace?" Zhang Jiuyang shook his head. The expert shook his head and said, "Blind Lin is really something. Why didn't he tell you anything? Yuding Palace was once a Taoist holy place with a history of thousands of years. It was also very prosperous when Daqian was first founded." "It is said that in ancient times, demons and monsters were rampant in the world and the human world was in chaos. Suddenly, a divine tripod fell from the sky to Jade Emperor Mountain. On the tripod were nine pictures of immortals, which were extremely magical." "At that time, Immortal Guigu, the founder of the Jade Tripod Palace, was practicing in Jade Emperor Mountain. He gained enlightenment by looking at the Divine Tripod, and spent nine years facing the wall. He created a technique that shocked the world and made the ghosts weep. He used this as the foundation and established the Jade Tripod Palace." Zhang Jiuyang was skeptical and said, "Old Gao, you don't mean to say that the earth-shattering technique created by Master Guigu is... this Jade Tripod Secret Technique?" The master nodded and said with a wry smile: "In fact, I think that these are all stories made up by the disciples of the Jade Tripod Palace. The stories about the divine tripod falling from the sky and the Nine Immortals Picture are just to flatter themselves." "If the Yuding Palace was really so powerful, how could it have been destroyed by a demon five hundred years ago?" "Of course, this technique does have its own unique features. If it can be mastered, it can bring many benefits, far better than other techniques." Zhang Jiuyang continued to flip through the pages and found that the booklet only had a few pages, one of which was a painting. In the painting, there was a dragon and a tiger. The dragon was bathed in fire and the tiger was walking on the waves. There was a line of text on each side. "When the five elements are reversed, a dragon emerges from fire; when the five elements are not in harmony, a tiger is born from water."
The next few pages contain the mantras for practice and specific routes for practicing. There are many secret codes in Taoist exercises. For example, the Crimson Palace is the middle dantian, the Earth Hu is the nose, the Cha Girl is mercury, and the baby is lead. If you are not familiar with the tricks, you will only go astray. But this booklet contains many notes, which thoughtfully mark out the tricks one by one. If Zhang Jiuyang turned back again, it would disappear. "Didn't it say there were nine pictures?" The master laughed and said, "You think too highly of me. How could I have the complete Jade Ding Xuan Gong? This is only the first picture, the Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Picture, which corresponds to the first stage of cultivation." “Don’t talk about me. The entire Imperial Observatory only has the first three pictures. After the fall of the Jade Ding Palace, its sect’s mysterious skills were completely lost. Only the first three pictures are still circulating in the world. Although they are mysterious, it is not easy to practice. I remind you, don’t be impatient--” The master’s voice paused, and he saw that Zhang Jiuyang had already started to practice according to the formula contained in the skills. I saw him making the dragon and tiger seal with his hands, his expression was solemn, his breathing was long and continuous, exhaling the old and taking in the new. The master was secretly surprised at how quickly he entered into a state of meditation! He shook his head. The young man was still too impatient. Although this Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Diagram was only the first picture of Yu Ding's secret mystical art, how could it be so easy to refine it? The martial arts he originally practiced was not the secret mysterious technique of Yuding. The reason why he spent so much good deeds to exchange for this martial arts technique was because his own aptitude was limited and he had been stuck in the second level for nearly ten years. And this Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Picture, once completed, will not only allow one to break through to the first realm, but will also have the miraculous effects of strengthening muscles and bones, exchanging blood and cleansing marrow, and improving aptitude! Therefore, he gritted his teeth and changed this technique, hoping to try to improve his aptitude, but he didn't expect that after practicing for several years, there was not much improvement. "Zhang Jiuyang, I say you should wait until later—" "Don't talk!" Ah Li's crisp voice rang out. "Brother Nine seems to be glowing!" The master was stunned, then quickly looked at Zhang Jiuyang, and then his pupils trembled, he could not believe his eyes. The handsome young man in green had a faint glow on his face, making him look even more handsome and elegant. Faintly, one could hear the sound of water flowing in his body. Is this... a breakthrough? ! ! The expert was struck by lightning and stared blankly at the scene in front of him. If he remembered correctly, Zhang Jiuyang seemed to have only cultivated his magic power not long ago, and was still a long way from the first level of Dragon and Tiger Adjustment. However, he had just come into contact with the Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Diagram and he had a breakthrough? How the hell is this possible? ! ! Under normal circumstances, even for those with outstanding talents, it would take at least three to five years to reach the first level... Before the master could recover, a dragon roar suddenly sounded, followed by a tiger roar. Although it was not loud and only faintly audible, it had an indescribable momentum and charm. The roar of dragons and tigers forge the true body! The master finally had to admit that Zhang Jiuyang had indeed mastered the Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Diagram and obtained the three samadhis. The so-called dragon roar and tiger roar was the manifestation of grasping the essence of the technique when practicing it. Next, Zhang Jiuyang only needs to practice diligently, and he will be able to gradually strengthen his muscles and bones, change his blood and cleanse his marrow, achieve a profound Taoist body, and benefit endlessly! Even if you switch to practicing other methods in the future, you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort with Yuding Xuan Gong as your foundation.
Envy! The master’s back teeth are almost broken. He has practiced diligently for five or six years but has made slow progress. However, others have succeeded as soon as they get started? You make me look useless! Is this kid really the legendary genius, or is he very compatible with this technique? At this time, the little loli came to finish off the opponent. "Uncle Fatty, didn't you say this technique is difficult to practice? How come Brother Nine was able to master it so quickly?" She tilted her head to look at the master, her eyes twinkling and full of childish innocence. The expert opened his mouth but no words came out. "Uncle Fatty, how long have you been practicing? Have you mastered it?" The master coughed and said, "It's a nice day today." "But it's raining outside... Ugh!" Uncle Jiang silently covered his daughter's mouth. Sometimes, it's good to be mute...
