The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 41: Western Poison

The next day, Qian Jin and Xiao Longnv began practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

If Qian Jin wants to heal Xiaolongnu's injuries, he must first cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to at least the fifth level.

However, Qian Jin is different from ordinary people; his martial arts improvement depends entirely on the proficiency panel.

Therefore, once you've practiced it once, you can clearly calculate how long it will take to reach the next level.

However, Qian Jin wasn't in a hurry. Although the days of cultivating with Xiaolongnu were a bit monotonous, they were still quite interesting.

As Qian Jin gained a deeper understanding of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he also discovered that the nine stages of cultivation mentioned by Little Dragon Girl corresponded exactly to the nine realms on his proficiency panel.

In other words, once Xiaolongnu has fully mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he will also be able to reach the highest level of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra at the same time.

Half a month later, Qian Jin's internal strength was fully restored, and the two of them had almost finished eating the food they had brought back from outside.

Little Dragon Girl then suggested going out to get some more food, and Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this:

"Miss Long, we've been hiding here because we were all injured and couldn't defeat Li Mochou."

"But now that my inner strength has been fully restored, why would I be afraid of Li Mochou? She should be the one afraid of us now."

So the two of them retraced their steps and returned to the ancient tomb. They searched the tomb but found no trace of Li Mochou or Hong Lingbo.

Little Dragon Girl thought for a moment and said:

"Presumably, my senior sister kept watch outside for several days and, finding that we hadn't come out, guessed that we must have escaped through a route she didn't know."

So she left the ancient tomb and went down the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"She's lucky, otherwise I would definitely teach her a lesson."

……

After that day, Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu's activity range expanded from a secret room to the entire ancient tomb.

Life has gradually become more diverse.

Xiaolongnu introduced the Jade Bed to Qian Jin. After sleeping on it for one night, Qian Jin was surprised to find that his cultivation of the Innate Skill had made slight progress.

He couldn't help but secretly marvel at how wonderful this jade bed truly was.

Several months later, through their joint efforts, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra finally reached its highest level.

After mastering the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, Xiaolongnu's temperament became even more ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy.

Qian Jin was so engrossed in his studies that he forgot all about home. So, after mastering the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he suggested that Xiaolongnu cultivate the Nine Yin Manual.

The reason is that when he was learning the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, he said he would exchange it for the Nine Yin Manual.

Xiaolongnu naturally hoped that Qian Jin could stay in the Ancient Tomb, so she readily agreed. Then, under Qian Jin's guidance, she began to cultivate the Nine Yin Manual.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye. Counting the time, Qian Jin had been in the ancient tomb for almost a year.

Qian Jin successively cultivated the Jade Maiden Sword Technique and the Sparrow Catching Skill to their highest level.

Both the One-Finger Divine Skill and the Innate Skill have made great progress.

Now, having mastered the sixth realm, Qian Jin has reached the eighth realm of consummate skill. Although he has not yet reached the highest level, he has begun to think about the outside world.

Because after more than a year, Yang Guo should be eighteen years old now.

In Qian Jin's memory, many major events in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes occurred within this year, so he could not remain in the ancient tomb indefinitely.

So he explained the situation to Xiaolongnu and prepared to return to the Quanzhen Sect first to see how things went.

Xiaolongnu did not want to have too much contact with the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect, so she stayed in the Ancient Tomb and waited for Qian Jin to return.

That same day, Qian Jin returned to Chongyang Palace.

His residence, which he hadn't lived in for over a year, was still clean and tidy, without even a speck of dust. It seemed that the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School treated him very well.

Even when he wasn't there, someone still cleaned his room every day.

As for Yang Guo, he didn't stay at the Quanzhen Sect to practice his skills properly. I've only been gone for a little over a year, and this kid has already run off somewhere.

It seems I need to ask the headmaster about the situation.

So he went to Ma Yu and asked him about Yang Guo.

Upon hearing this, Ma Yu couldn't help but show a look of shame, and said:

"Junior Brother Qian, I'm sorry. We haven't been able to take good care of Yang Guo while you were away."

Seeing the guilt on Ma Yu's face, Qian Jin was taken aback.

Even if he took Yang Guo as his disciple, could it still not change the main storyline of the Condor Heroes world? So, during the time he was away, Yang Guo still betrayed Quanzhen?

So he said:

"Senior brother, there's no need to blame yourself. Even if Yang Guo really betrayed Quanzhen, it was his fate. As long as I'm here, I will definitely find a way to guide him back to the right path."

Ma Yu was stunned upon hearing this, and said:

"Junior Brother Qian, what are you talking about? I said I didn't take good care of Yang Guo because a while ago, Ouyang Feng suddenly attacked Quanzhen."

We were no match for him, and could only watch helplessly as he captured Yang Guo.

"You say you're sorry to me, just because of Ouyang Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yu nodded and said:

"That's right. Ouyang Feng is unpredictable, and we're worried he might harm Yang Guo. Your senior brothers Qiu and Wang have already gone after him to search for him."

But after all this time, there is still no news of Yang Guo.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"Since there's no news, there's no need to look anymore. Senior Brother, send someone to inform Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Wang to come back."

Although Ouyang Feng is somewhat eccentric, he won't harm Yang Guo. Perhaps Yang Guo will return on his own after some time!

Ma Yu was stunned and said:

"Junior Brother Qian, are you so sure that Ouyang Feng won't harm Yang Guo? He's the Western Poison, always ruthless and vicious, and now he's gone mad; he's capable of anything."

"Don't worry, senior brother. My disciple is very lucky. What might be dangerous for others could be a great opportunity for him."

Good fortune and good fortune?

Ma Yu became increasingly confused, unable to understand where Qian Jin's confidence came from.

"Junior Brother Qian, we can't just let Yang Guo remain missing forever!"

"Don't worry, senior brother. You may not find him, but I'm confident I can bring him back."

Qian Jin smiled faintly, knowing that after Ouyang Feng took Yang Guo away, he would definitely teach Yang Guo to practice the Nine Yin Manual in reverse.

He had already passed on the entire Nine Yin Manual to Yang Guo.

When the two are compared, Ouyang Feng will surely discover that there is something wrong with the Nine Yin Manual that he has been practicing for many years, and then he will go mad again and leave.

Yang Guo hasn't come back for so long, he must have gone out to have fun on his own.

Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi couldn't find Yang Guo because they started off in the wrong direction, so naturally they couldn't find any news about him.

However, Qian Jin knew Yang Guo's predetermined route and knew which direction to look for him.
