A sudden attack

When recalling the descriptions of the Elephant Snake, Ding Songyan's lips twitched involuntarily.

Isn't this Yin-Yang Religion a little Lunar Yin?

The so-called "Yin and Yang Myriad Phenomena Dao Lord" is either an incarnation of Elephant Snake, or has it risen to the concept of Yin Two Forms Yin and Yang returning to Supreme Ultimate?

At this moment, the singers, unaware of the truth, were amused by the phrase "Young Master Jiang has lost, now it's Miss Jiang's turn." Given Jiang Lanting's appearance and temperament, similar teasing was common, and some even challenged him to dress as a woman to a contest, so the singers naturally didn't find it strange.

After fuming, Jiang Lanting laughed. He wasn't really angry. He laughed so hard that he swayed and leaned against the singer next to him.

For a moment, Ding Songyan couldn't tell whether Jiang Lanting was taking advantage of the singer or the singer was taking advantage of Jiang Lanting.

Xie Fengchao continued to whisper in Ding Songyan's ear:

"Lanting had never accepted this body, considering herself a monster. She always emphasized that she was a man and only wore loose men's clothing. When teased for being a woman dressed as a man, she wouldn't get angry, but she didn't really like it either."

"However, he was born with both Yin and Yang in his nature. The Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art and the Two Forms Divine Sword also require cultivators to be like this. If one's temperament is in conflict with this, it is difficult to take another step forward. He is clearly exceptionally talented and is the most promising successor of the Yin-Yang Religion in the past hundred years. However, he has been at the Perfected Dayan Realm for almost three years and still has not been able to step into the Law Realm."

"Some time ago, perhaps stimulated by Li Linquan becoming Martial Grandmaster, he slowly began to accept his female side and even told us, his friends, about his previous pain and troubles. Otherwise, I would not have known that he was born with both Yin and Yang in one body and could not understand the mystery of the Yin-Yang Religion's techniques."

"Most of the disciples of the Yin-Yang Religion are also confused and distressed by similar matters. They are not born this way, but it is due to their cultivation techniques. The pain and torment in their hearts are even greater than that of Lan Ting. This is why the matter of ' Male and Female Together ' is rarely circulated outside the sect. Not many disciples of the Yin-Yang Religion are willing to tell others about their 'unbearable' side. If Lan Ting hadn't mentioned Miss Jiang himself today, I wouldn't have told you."

"Ding Er, please keep this matter a secret from now on."

Ding Songyan nodded and responded softly:

"I might mention it to a close female friend, and tell her not to tell anyone else."

This was to prevent the woman he was getting close to from being "deceived" by Ms. Jiang.

Should I mention it to Miss Zheng? Miss Zheng is compassionate and kind to the poor and weak. Even if she doesn't make any promises, she certainly wouldn't use the suffering of the Yin-Yang Religion disciples as a topic of conversation... Xie Fengchao felt relieved and said he could.

He added two more sentences:

"Lanting is a free spirit and accepts women more readily than others. Whether you call him Young Master Jiang or Miss Jiang now depends on his mood; you can address him however you like. But when introducing him to others, it's best to consult his opinion first."

No wonder you waited for Jiang Lanting to introduce him to me so you could tell whether he was a young master or a young lady... Ding Songyan suddenly understood that detail.

To be honest, he was very curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask, afraid of touching on Jiang Lanting's sore spot.

In the past, when he read the "Secret Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas", he did not have a specific understanding of the description of "Making Oneself Male and Female", and simply compared it to the product of his previous life. Now, after seeing "Young Master Mingxi" Jiang Lanting, he realized that it was completely different.

The Elephant Snake- like shape resembling a female pheasant suggests that the appearance of Yin-Yang Religion disciples is closer to that of women. However, someone as beautiful as Jiang Lanting can only be naturally beautiful, since none of the four traits enhance appearance. Furthermore, the evolution of the "Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art" cannot substantially change the body and is not as effective as the original technique.

I understand "Making Oneself Male and Female" now, but what does "Reproducing Offspring Oneself" mean, and how is it done?

"Furthermore, aside from individuals like Jiang Lanting who are born with both Yin and Yang in one, how do other disciples of the Yin-Yang Religion achieve 'the Male and Female Together '? Is it like an external abnormality, gradually evolving during the process of Opening Orifices and Organ Dressing, or is it like Organ Dressing, directly implanted and then assimilated into one's own body?"

"If it's the latter, then wouldn't the Yin-Yang Religion be able to help people with that kind of modification?"

Ding Songyan's curiosity about the Yin-Yang Religion itself immediately outweighed his covetousness for the "Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art".

Jiang Lanting glanced at him and chuckled softly:

"It seems Young Master Ding has many questions for you. Fengchao, let's switch places. Since we've lost, I'll satisfy Young Master Ding's curiosity."

"Is there anything we can't hear?" Xie Fengchao said sarcastically, getting up and switching seats with Jiang Lanting.

Jiang Lanting sat down, leaned closer to Ding Songyan, and said with a smile in her bright eyes:

I won't answer anything that's too offensive.

Ding Songyan immediately smelled a delicate and refreshing fragrance, just like the plum blossoms on this mountain had already bloomed.

If Ding Songyan didn't know Jiang Lanting and hadn't heard Xie Fengchao mention his special qualities, he would have simply thought she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

He maintained a certain distance from Jiang Lanting's ears, using his internal True Qi to restrain the sound and push it forward:

Is the female or male part of the Organ Dressing?

"Partly yes, partly through evolution," Jiang Lanting replied in a low voice. "Therefore, one must step into the Law Realm for that extra aspect to be able to reproduce, well, except for those born with it like me."

As she spoke, the radiant beauty straightened up, lowered her voice, and said to Xie Fengchao and Bai Qilin:

"Many eunuchs who leave the Forbidden City and return to their rural homes will come to our Yin-Yang Religion, wanting to buy a donkey carcass. This is somewhat useful, but not that useful. Only when the ' Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art ' is practiced to the Perfected Dayan Realm is it truly useful. However, they usually already have Martial Arts and cannot cultivate them at the same time."

We call this "Installing an Elephant," haha, it means putting on a show, having a facade.

"How did we suddenly get so lewd?" "Fairy Mingxi," I don't even dare to look you in the eye anymore. Oh, now it's not Miss Jiang, it's Young Master Jiang... Ding Songyan thought to himself.

Telling jokes about eunuchs is a custom in Flame Capital. Xie Fengchao cooperated by teasing the eunuchs with Jiang Lanting for a while, and Ding Songyan and Bai Qilin also chimed in from time to time.

Afterwards, Ding Songyan asked a few more questions about the "unity of Yin and Yang, Male and Female Together," but not too deeply, as that would be too offensive.

Listening to music, drinking tea, and eating snacks, the group chatted about various interesting things. But later, they talked more about Martial Arts. Whether it was Bai Qilin's "Heavenly Fool Scripture" and "Mountains, Rivers, Wind and Rain Book", or Jiang Lanting's "Record of Ten Thousand Laws" and "Yin and Yang Two Forms Tu", Ding Songyan benefited a lot from them.

--"The Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art" originates from "The Record of Ten Thousand Laws", and "The Two Forms Divine Sword" originates from "The Diagram Two Forms Yin and Yang".

Under Ding Songyan's intentional or unintentional flattery, Jiang Lanting used the "Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art" to evolve various martial arts techniques, allowing Ding Songyan to glimpse some of its wonders.

Ding Songyan didn't hold back either, sharing his understanding and insights into Swordsmanship. As Jiang Lanting listened, her calm smile gradually faded, and she became thoughtful. In the end, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.

"The Great Thousand Myriad Forms Art" and "The Deriving Dao and De" have some similarities, Ding Songyan's Ten Thousand Laws Return to One Swordsmanship of returning all methods to oneness naturally inspired him far more than the other two.

"No wonder Feng Chao considers you a confidant!" Jiang Lanting patted the long sword on the stone table and said admiringly.

This made Xie Fengchao feel very proud, and he was beaming with pride.

Could my friend be any bad?

My brother Ding is Martial Arts prodigy!

As noon approached, Jiang Lanting looked around and smiled, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower:

"Let's find something proper to eat; we can't just fill our stomachs with tea."

"It's all prepared." As the host, Xie Fengchao always treated his guests with utmost care.

As Jiang Lanting stood up, she said with a hint of regret:

"I'm also thinking of strolling down the mountain, finding a local Wine Shop, and trying some local cuisine."

"I'm afraid of getting hurt by the fresh fruit," Xie Fengchao joked.

The people of Flame Capital mainly watched the most beautiful women in the martial arts world, but they were less polite to the most talented martial artists.

"The people of the Five Saints Sect are used to this kind of pursuit," Ding Songyan thought to himself. "All the World's Colors Gather" means being born to stand in the spotlight...

The four quickly dismissed the singing girls and, with their servants and attendants, descended the mountain along the stone steps.

Suddenly, without warning, a dark figure darted out from the withered weeds and rushed towards Jiang Lanting with lightning speed.

The dark figure was blurry and illusory, its mouth open as if about to spew out several colorful grains of sand before anyone could react.

Just then, a crystal-clear sword tip appeared in his eyes.

The sword tip seemed to have been positioned in front of him all along, waiting for him to crash into it.

In the rush, the assassin couldn't turn completely, so he could only use his waist and back to force his body to tilt in mid-air, his head also clearly tilted to avoid the sword tip.

Although he was adjusting his posture, the weapon in his hand and the grain of sand in his mouth were still locked onto "Young Master Mingxi" Jiang Lanting.

Huo Ran, the crystal-clear sword tip shifted slightly, the movement was small but the speed was fast.

The assassin had no time to stop or dodge, and crashed straight into him.

Puff!

The tip of the sword pierced his mouth and protruded from the back of his head.

Blood flowed silently, and as the Cold Shadow withdrew, the assassin collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide open, dying with an unusual sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

Upon lifting the mask and seeing the face resembling a turtle demon, Jiang Lanting, who hadn't even drawn his sword yet, exclaimed in astonishment:

"Ghost-Wyrm Path Assassin?"

"Who would hire Ghost-Wyrm Path assassin to kill me?"

Although he had many enemies, it wasn't to this extent, and besides, his enemies wanted to capture him alive.

No one could answer Jiang Lanting's question.

Bai Qilin looked at Ding Songyan with surprise and astonishment.

When did he draw his sword?

He left his sword there, and the assassin just walked right into it?

This is even more outrageous than waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!

After a brief silence, Bai Qilin exhaled and said to Ding Songyan:

"No wonder Feng Chao said your Martial Arts are superior to his."

Xie Fengchao had no time to be smug; he comforted Jiang Lanting:

"It's alright. Second Brother Ding can Spirit Walking Through the Netherworld; he can ask the assassin for you."

Jiang Lanting's eyes flickered, and she looked at Ding Songyan in surprise:

Thank you for your help.

After saying that, he frowned slightly and muttered to himself:

"The assassin probably wouldn't know who the employer is..."

Ding Songyan, who was worried about not having any clues about the Ghost-Wyrm Path, quickly entered a state of Spirit Walking Through the Netherworld and looked at the assassin's Yin Soul spirit:

Who entrusted you with the mission to assassinate "Young Master Mingxi"?

Who collected the information about "Young Master Mingxi" for you?
