Chapter 73: Fusion
The martial arts of the Nine Yin Manual include healing and bone-forging techniques. Especially after Qian Jin comprehended the Ultimate Nine Yin Manual, he had a profound understanding of the techniques for resetting broken bones.
Therefore, Qian Jin is an expert in this area.
That evening, Qian Jin treated Lu Wushuang's left leg. Although the process was somewhat painful, the result was very satisfactory.
Lu Wushuang needed to rest after her treatment, so Qian Jin and the others decided to stay at Chixia Manor.
With nothing else to do, Qian Jin spent his time researching the fusion of martial arts techniques.
Having gained experience in combining the Nine Yin Manual and practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, Qian Jin has developed a great enthusiasm for combining martial arts.
Unfortunately, although he learned a variety of martial arts, none of them were completely from the same source as the Nine Yin Manual and the Reverse Nine Yin Manual.
So when we try to integrate them, we have absolutely no clue what to do.
Headache!
On this day, when Qian Jin saw Xiaolongnu practicing her sword, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
There are no martial arts that originate from the same source, but there is one that combines different martial arts styles, isn't there?
Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Sword Technique.
This sword technique is essentially used by two people: one uses the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the other uses the Jade Maiden Sword Technique. When the two swords are combined, they form the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique.
Now, with the added benefit of the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique, it can be performed by one person alone.
But what if he followed the approach of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique and merged the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique into one?
Does this mean that one can perform this sword technique without needing to use both swords simultaneously? Or is it even possible to use swords beyond just two?
Once he had the idea, Qian Jin immediately put it into action, spending several days researching how to integrate the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay.
Seeing that Qian Jin's swordsmanship was becoming increasingly strange, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Brother Qian, I've noticed you've been practicing swordsmanship lately. It looks like both the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay. I can't understand it at all. Could it be that you're trying to create your own swordplay?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Long'er, you think too highly of your Brother Qian."
Creating your own sword technique is no easy feat. I'm currently just pondering whether, without using the Ambidextrous Technique, I could simultaneously perform the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, forming the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique.
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl thought for a moment and said:
"Brother Qian, now that you mention it, I think your idea is feasible."
The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique requires two people to combine their swords, and its essence is actually unity of mind. In contrast, the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique is essentially about using two minds at once.
One seeks common ground, the other seeks distinction. Perhaps if our understanding is deep enough, we really won't need to fight with both hands simultaneously to be able to perform the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique by ourselves.
Yes, and there's also ambidextrous fighting.
Xiaolongnu's words immediately gave Qian Jin a lot of insights, and he gained a completely new understanding of many things that were previously difficult to integrate.
Qian Jin immediately sat cross-legged and practiced the new Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique in his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Jin's mind suddenly became clear. The Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay, just like the Nine Yin Manual and the Reverse Nine Yin Manual in the past, transformed into a completely new form.
It's fused!
As soon as Qian Jin had a thought, the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique gradually merged to form the new Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique.
When Qian Jin checked the proficiency panel again, he discovered that both the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay had disappeared from the panel.
All that remained was the newly emerged Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique.
Jade Maiden's Pure Heart Swordplay (Peak of Mastery): 100%
This Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique was originally included in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but now, after the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique have been merged, it has been listed separately.
Qian Jin could sense that this Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique contained both the Quanzhen Sword Technique and the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.
Therefore, even though the Quanzhen Swordplay and the Jade Maiden Swordplay are no longer listed separately on the proficiency panel, these two martial arts still exist.
Not bad.
The integration of the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique greatly improved Qian Jin's understanding of swordsmanship.
This kind of progress is different from cultivating a sword technique to its highest level; it is more inclined towards the essence of swordsmanship.
When a sword technique is mastered to its highest level, the main benefit is the understanding of that single technique. However, this fusion enhances the understanding of all sword techniques.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw Xiaolongnu, Cheng Ying, and Lu Wushuang all sitting not far away, watching him intently.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh:
Why are you all staring at me like that? Do I have flowers growing on my face?
Hearing Qian Jin's words, Lu Wushuang blinked and said:
"Brother Qian, do you know you've been sitting here for a whole day?"
After Lu Wushuang finished speaking, Cheng Ying continued:
"Brother Qian, Sister Long said you are currently studying a brand new sword technique. We dare not disturb you, so we can only watch from afar."
one day?
Qian Jin was shocked to hear this, not expecting that it would take so much time to combine the two sword techniques.
However, he then looked at Xiaolongnu and the others with a strange expression and said:
"I've been sitting here all day meditating because I'm trying to comprehend swordsmanship, but what about you? You're not just going to keep staring at me like this, are you?!"
Upon hearing this, the three women blushed slightly and said:
"That's all, we only watched it for a short while."
"Yes, it was only for a short while. We just arrived. We didn't expect you to wake up after only a short time."
Seeing this, Qian Jin's gaze swept across the three men's faces, and he continued to ask:
"Just... a little while?"
"Yes, just for a little while."
The three spoke in unison.
After saying that, Xiaolongnu quickly asked:
"Brother Qian, you've been meditating for a day. Have you perhaps already figured out how to perform the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique on your own?"
Qian Jin nodded upon hearing this and said:
"That's good. From now on, you won't need to rely on the Ambidextrous Technique to use the Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay. When I have time, I will teach you this brand-new Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay."
Upon hearing Qian Jin's answer, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang immediately showed expressions of admiration.
"Brother Qian, you are truly amazing. You were able to create a new sword technique in just one day."
"I always knew Brother Qian was a martial arts prodigy and would definitely succeed."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin chuckled and said:
"It's not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be."
Besides, what I've done hardly qualifies as a self-created sword technique! I've merely made slight modifications to the sword technique created by my predecessors, allowing a technique that originally required two people to perform to be done by one person.
"Brother Qian, you're too modest. Even if it's an improvement, it's still creating something new based on the existing sword technique. I feel that's even more difficult than creating something entirely from scratch!"
"Yes, Brother Qian, everyone in the martial arts world says that the most powerful martial art is the Nine Yin Manual, but I think that Brother Qian will definitely be able to create a martial art that is even more powerful than the Nine Yin Manual in the future."
