[Reverse Nine Yin, defects: cultivation requires remaining upside down, easily causing meridians to shift or rupture, mental confusion, and cultivation deviation.] [After reversing the defects, cultivation no longer requires remaining upside down, can strengthen and reinforce the meridians, and can clear the mind.]
"Good thing cultivating upside down counted as a defect and got reversed. Otherwise, how badly would that damage my image and bearing?"
Lin Lang began cultivating Reverse Reverse Nine Yin. As his True Qi flowed backward, he soon felt the power of this skill.
Reversing the flow of True Qi would make it violent and double its power. This was also a killing move many people in the Jianghu chose before death.
At the cost of damaging their meridians and foundations and losing all their martial arts, they would kill their enemies, or at least perish together with them.
But Reverse Nine Yin made reversed True Qi flow the norm, placing greater demands on both the meridians and one's control of True Qi.
"If ordinary people cultivated this, they'd either suffer cultivation deviation or damage their foundations and lose all their martial arts. Yang Guo was fine. Was that because he hadn't cultivated it deeply, or because he knew the real Nine Yin Manual?"
He had previously said he would give Lin Lang the real Nine Yin Manual. Whether he had obtained it from Guo Jing or somewhere else was unknown, but Yang Guo certainly wouldn't fob him off with an incomplete fragment.
"He also knows Toad Skill, Divine Flicking Finger, Dog-Beating Staff Technique, Heartbreak Palm, and more. Looking at it that way, Yang Guo really is a treasure trove of a man. I must spar with him again sometime and pluck him clean-even pluck him bald."
