"What does Master Yideng mean?"

Ji Boying pretended not to know.

The Reverend Yideng smiled and reached his withered hand into his robe.

"In my opinion, it should naturally be returned to its rightful owner."

The Reverend Yideng placed the secret manual in front of Ji Boying.

"Amitabha! I'm sure you've already guessed why I've come to Mount Zhongnan."

Ji Boying didn't say anything, but picked up the Prenatal Skill without any hesitation and started looking through it.

After a while, he said, "Since you came here for this reason, why didn't you say so earlier? Why wait until these two months later to reveal it all today?"

"Forgive me, forgive me. It was a momentary lapse of reason in my mind that I should not have done this. However, this skill is extremely powerful and of great importance, so I cannot afford to be careless."

The Reverend Yideng clasped his hands together and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Back then, when Mr. Chongyang came to Dali, he exchanged his Innate Skill for the One -One Yang Finger Prenatal Skill with me. He said that he was seriously ill and there was nothing he could do to save him. There was only one thing he could not let go of."

"We are worried that Ouyang Feng is ambitious. The four of us are not much different from Ouyang Feng in terms of skill, but none of us are as ruthless as Ouyang Feng. We are worried that if he dies, no one will be able to control Ouyang Feng."

"Furthermore, the Nine Yin Manual is hidden in the Quanzhen Sect, and his seven disciples are all self-taught, their skills are not yet sufficient to deal with Ouyang Feng."

"Therefore, we need to use the Prenatal Skill combined with the One Yang Finger Divine Skill to break Ouyang Feng's Toad Style."

"Neither Zhou Botong nor the other disciples of the Quanzhen Sect are capable of cultivating the Prenatal Skill. Therefore, after Master Chongyang's death, I am the only one in the world who can use the Prenatal Skill."

"For many years, we have been thinking about returning the item to its rightful owner, but the Quanzhen Sect has yet to find someone to take on this important task."

"I am deeply indebted to you, benefactor, and I had intended to entrust you with this task. However, in my opinion, you are quite shrewd, so I cannot be careless."

Reverend Yideng was quite frank, openly expressing his suspicions about Ji Boying.

Indeed, since Ji Boying appeared in the martial arts world, he has been strategizing and stirring up trouble.

When Reverend Yideng personally visited the Quanzhen Sect, he witnessed the many forces stirred up by Ji Boying, all poised to vie for supremacy.

It's inevitable that Reverend Yideng would doubt Ji Boying was truly virtuous or hypocritical, a hero with the world in his heart, or an ambitious tyrant.

Ji Boying's talent is now high enough, and his skill has surpassed that of the Five Greats.

He's so young; if he were to acquire the Prenatal Skill, his power would reach an even higher level. Who in the martial world could possibly defeat him?

Could he become an even greater scourge than Ouyang Feng?

Since the Reverend Yideng had good intentions towards Buddhism, he should not have made such malicious speculations.

But he was, after all, a human being, not a Buddha, and had once sat on the dragon throne, witnessing countless evil deeds.

I still harbor concerns about the evil in human nature.

Therefore, not daring to trust Ji Boying too easily, he never offered to pass on his martial arts skills to him.

Ji Boying fully understood Master Yideng's ideas.

Although Ji Boying has always been without desires, pursuing only martial arts and his own carefree life.

He had no interest in dominating the martial arts world or in power and wealth.

But in order to prevent future tragedies, they still tried their best to use many means, such as deceiving, tricking, coercing, or enticing.

I don't know how many lives will be sent to the battlefield.

It's no wonder that Reverend Yideng had concerns.

"Is the master relieved now?"

Ji Boying asked with a smile.

Reverend Yideng nodded crisply.

With a kind and benevolent expression, he said, "Having spent two months with you on Mount Zhongnan, I have come to see you clearly."

"Those mental tactics, though you have tried your best to use, are not actually what you like. On the contrary, you are sacrificing your energy for the greater good of the world."

"You are somewhat similar to Zhou Botong, but you are even stronger than Zhou Botong."

"He is simple-minded and only seeks pleasure. You, however, see clearly the affairs of the world but are not tempted by worldly desires and are devoted to martial arts."

Ji Boying laughed heartily and waved his hand.

"Master, you flatter me too much. I am just an ordinary person who seeks only my own carefree life. I have no interest in being sincere or not."

Master Yideng smiled without saying a word, clearly having already decided in his heart that Ji Boying was a humble and good person.

"Now that the item has been returned to its rightful owner, I have a weight lifted from my heart. However, I am deeply indebted to you, benefactor, and do not know how to repay your kindness..."

Reverend Yideng was, after all, an honest man.

She genuinely felt indebted to Ji Ying Gu for his help in Ji Boying's case, but also felt somewhat apologetic for conducting her own investigation due to her distrust of Ji Boying.

However, since he dared to say that, Ji Boying was determined to seize the opportunity and not let Reverend Yideng off the hook.

"Haha, Master, what are you talking about repaying a debt of gratitude? I love martial arts more than anything in my life. If you would be so kind as to teach me and show me some of your skills, so we can exchange ideas and discuss them, I would be completely satisfied."

This one sentence put Master Yideng in a difficult position.

The Reverend Yideng put his hands together in prayer and chanted the Buddha's name again.

"Amitabha, Dali is just a small country. This old monk's talent is limited, unlike Seventh Master and the Medicine Master, who are knowledgeable and experienced. Given your current level of understanding, I really don't know what to do."

Reverend Yideng shook his bald head, but he also felt somewhat embarrassed.

Since he felt guilty and had a debt of gratitude to repay, he should naturally offer something that would be useful to Ji Boying.

But now Ji Boying's martial arts skills have surpassed those of the Four Greats, and his unique skills have reached a level of perfection.

How could he possibly possess any skills that could impress Ji Boying?

But Ji Boying was not polite at all.

He laughed and said, "Why be modest, Master? The Six Meridian Divine Sword of the Dali Duan Family is the number one sword technique in the world. Who in the world does not know its fame?"

The old monk shook his head again.

"Benefactor, you are learned and knowledgeable. How many people in the martial world today still know about the Six Meridian Divine Sword? Not to mention that the Six Meridian Divine Sword has long been lost, the Dali Duan family can only rely on the One Yang Finger Dali Skill to save face..."

"Oh, One Yang Finger Skill? One Yang Finger Skill is fine too. Master is too modest. Even the One Yang Finger Divine Skill of the Dali Duan Family is an unparalleled martial art in the world."

Seeing Ji Boying looking at him with a smile, Master Yideng suddenly felt a little at a loss.

"This..."

As he spoke, he seemed a little embarrassed not to reveal the One Yang Finger.

But how can the One Yang Finger be passed on so casually?

Although I am no longer as obsessed with martial arts as I used to be.

But it was precisely because of his excessive persistence back then that he made a mistake.

Firstly, they coveted Wang Chongyang's Prenatal Skill, which is why they set their sights on him.

Secondly, Wang Chongyang was indeed beyond saving, and his illness was terminal.

Trading your Prenatal Skill for the One Yang Finger is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Wang Chongyang promised not to pass on the One Yang Finger Skill, and soon after, he passed away.

That would be equivalent to getting a Prenatal Skill, while the One Yang Finger Divine Skill was not passed on to others.

But now... now... now that things have come to this point, what should we do?
