The Yin Yang Technique was one of the foundations upon which the Three Xuan Sect stood. Liu Xiaolou had gradually come into contact with it from the age of fourteen, memorizing its scriptures, studying its annotations, and listening to his teacher, Mister Sanxuan, explain it.
By the time his teacher passed away, he had in fact studied it for four years. Otherwise, he could never have explained difficult points to Dai Shenggao.
Yet his study of the Yin Yang Technique had always remained superficial, without any deeper understanding. Nearly every method was at the stage of knowing what it was, but not why it worked.
The reason was simple: he had never actually practiced it, nor had he even witnessed it with his own eyes. Previously, he had been too young, and his foundation had not yet been firmly established.
According to the requirements of the Three Xuan Scripture, one could only begin after turning eighteen and opening the five Meridians. He was nineteen this year, so he met that condition, but he had only opened five points on the fifth Meridian. He was currently still assaulting the sixth point—the Neiguan point. This was what it meant for his foundation to remain unstable.
Thus, he tactfully declined Sister Qing's request to "give him guidance." Besides, he did not believe Sister Qing could offer him any real guidance.
But Sister Qing's next words immediately shook his resolve. "When I said I was half your mistress, I wasn't taking advantage of you for nothing. Back then, your teacher Mister Sanxuan often came to First Alley. He did not come here to play; he came here to cultivate. He said that the Three Xuan Scripture was a trinity, and only through complementary practice could its parts bring out the best in one another."
