The formula for the first level of Xuan Yang Heart Method is neither difficult nor easy, but it is definitely not easy either.
The conditions for practicing the Xuanyang Heart Method were extremely harsh, and mastering it was by no means easy. For ordinary people, practicing martial arts was already extremely expensive, and the money required to master the Xuanyang Heart Method was even more terrifying than that of ordinary martial artists.
Apart from these, not to mention the fact that Xuan Yang Xin Fa is difficult to understand, it is extremely difficult to comprehend. Even if one can truly comprehend it, it is only just barely touching the threshold of Xuan Yang Xin Fa.
Because of this, the Xuan Yang Heart Method has been passed down through the ages. Even the Xuan Yang Diagram has existed in the world for many years, but before that, the only person who knew this method was Lin Hengzhong.
This is evident from the above.
At this moment, in the dim and cold stone room.
The black-robed leader stood expressionlessly not far away. His figure, shrouded in a strange and wide black robe, looked imposing.
He stood there coldly, like a statue. There was no wind in the stone chamber, yet his black robe fluttered. The strange, sinister bronze mask made the atmosphere gloomy.
It's so depressing!
In front of the stone table, Lin Jiangnian was lowering his head, holding the pen and ink in his hand, and slowly writing.
He wrote very slowly, and after every few words he would lower his head and ponder for a moment, as if trying to recall something. Frowning, he pondered for a long time before slowly writing a few more words on the rice paper...
On the other side of the stone table, Liu Su, dressed in a red dress, was grinding ink gently and calmly.
Her eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian, and her expression was very strange. It was as if she was trying hard to restrain something.
It’s so hard to hold it in!
Not far away, where the leader couldn't see, Liu Su stared at Lin Jiangnian's expression and movements, biting her lower lip tightly, her cold face slightly unable to hold back.
The reason is simple...
This guy is pretending so well!
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian in Liu Su's sight looked like a scholar who was deep in thought, scratching his head and racking his brains to recall the few remaining memories in his mind.
There was no sign of concealment in this scene!
It's all natural!
Even Liu Su was almost deceived when she saw it for the first time.
but……
No one knows Lin Jiangnian better than her.
At least, in this respect...
Liu Su still remembers the terrifying memory Lin Jiangnian showed her when he first entered the Prince Lin's Mansion and she forced him to pretend to be the Prince Lin and memorize the relationships between the people in the Prince Lin's Mansion.
From that time on, Liu Su was clear about the ability of the man in front of her... he had a photographic memory!
It might be an exaggeration to say that I have a photographic memory, but it's definitely not far off.
Everything this guy saw and memorized was almost never easily forgotten. He could easily memorize even such complex interpersonal relationships, let alone a mere mental formula?
In this way, Lin Jiangnian's scratching face clearly showed that he was pretending to be stupid and deliberately confusing the leader!
Liu Su took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. As she watched Lin Jiangnian slowly start writing on the rice paper, she became puzzled, and the worry in her eyes grew stronger.
The leader came for the Xuanyang Diagram, and now he has set his sights on Lin Jiangnian. Based on Liu Su's understanding of him, Lin Jiangnian would never hand over the Xuanyang Heart Technique so easily.
Can……
There seems to be no way at the moment!
If Lin Jiangnian doesn't hand it over, the leader will never let it go.
The leader had been laying out his plan in Linzhou for so long, all for the Xuanyang Map. By then, even she would probably find it difficult to guarantee that she could protect Lin Jiangnian safely.
But at the moment, although Liu Su was anxious, she did not dare to show it easily, and she did not want the leader to notice any clues.
She had a cold face as she slowly ground the ink, expressionless, only occasionally glancing over out of the corner of her eye.
There was silence in front of the stone table for a long time.
All around, the only sound was the rustling sound of the brush hitting the rice paper.
It was not until nearly half an hour later that Lin Jiangnian put pen to paper.
"Master, it's done!"
Lin Jiangnian slowly raised his head, and the next second, a strong wind blew in front of his eyes, his vision shook slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the leader in a cold black robe appeared in front of Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian's eyelids suddenly jumped.
The aura released by the leader at this moment was even stronger than that of Shen Lingjun's uncle.
The pressure on Lin Jiangnian is even greater!
The oppressive atmosphere made Lin Jiangnian feel cold in his heart.
He had to be more alert, careful and vigilant.
The black-robed leader's eyes fell on the mental method that had just been written on the stone table and he slowly picked it up.
"Master, this is the first level of the Xuanyang Heart Method. This is all I can remember... Master, take a look and see if it works."
The black-robed leader ignored Lin Jiangnian and stared at the rice paper.
His gaze was initially nonchalant, but as he gradually looked down, the leader's expression gradually changed. From the initial coldness, it gradually revealed a hint of passion.
Then, this trace of passion gradually turned into surprise, and the eyes under the strange bronze mask gradually became excited.
After a while, the leader suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Jiangnian: "Is that all?!"
The hoarse voice sounded a bit impatient.
So excited!
Lin Jiangnian said, "These are all I can remember. I've tried my best..."
After a pause, Lin Jiangnian continued, "However, if the Sect Leader still wants it, how about I make a note of it when I return to the Prince Lin's Mansion and send it to you later?"
The leader stared at Lin Jiangnian and said in a deep voice, "The Xuanyang Heart Method is worthy of being derived from the Xuanyang Diagram. This heart method is exquisite and profound, and it is truly the top heart method in the world..."
"No wonder Lin Hengzhong was able to go from an ordinary person to a world-class Grandmaster in just over a decade!"
The leader muttered to himself. After just one look, he felt a vague burning impulse in his chest.
This Xuan Yang Heart Method is indeed the most powerful and masculine technique!
Just the first layer has such a terrifying effect.
It seems that this is exactly what he is looking for!
The leader's eyes fell on the rice paper, and then he suddenly looked up at Liu Su beside him: "Deal with him."
Liu Su raised her eyes and said calmly, "Yes."
The next second, the leader's figure vanished from the spot, like a fleeting afterimage. Then, not far away, the sound of a stone door crashing could be heard.
Then, it was quiet again!
Only Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su were left in the stone chamber.
"This is?"
Lin Jiangnian stared at the tightly closed stone door not far ahead, then turned around and glanced at Liu Su.
Liu Su didn't answer, but just glanced at him coldly: "Come with me."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the stone chamber.
Lin Jiangnian stood where he was and did not immediately follow Liu Su. Instead, he stared at the stone gate not far away, as if thinking about something.
The origin of the leader of the Heavenly God Sect was too mysterious, and nothing could be learned from the brief contact just now, which made Lin Jiangnian even more wary.
After he got the first level of Xuanyang Heart Method, he couldn't wait to go into seclusion to study it, which surprised Lin Jiangnian and made him feel a little bit unbelievable.
Even though the Xuanyang Heart Method is indeed the best in the world, it shouldn't be very attractive to a master of the Tianshen Sect's level.
For those rookies just starting out in the martial arts world, this top-notch mental method is indeed enough to drive them crazy. But for masters who have already mastered the martial arts, it is not very attractive.
For a master of this level, it is not easy to cultivate other skills again. They may even have to give up their original martial arts. There is no guarantee that even if they practice a more powerful skill, they will be able to reach the same level as before!
When it comes to martial arts, you don’t just need to be naturally talented to master it through practice.
What's more, a leader like this has already mastered his mind and martial arts to perfection. He has his own martial arts system and has walked his own path.
At this time, if you continue to practice other mental methods, unless you can reach the top level, it will be a thankless task and the benefits will not be great.
Ordinary top masters would not waste their energy on this.
But this leader obviously had a strong interest in the Xuanyang Heart Method, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Of course, to be precise, what the leader wants is the Xuan Yang Map!
What exactly is the Xuan Yang Diagram, and what is its attraction that attracts this leader to it?
…
Leave the stone chamber and return to the courtyard.
The yard was quiet and empty.
It was still early and the sky was clear.
Lin Jiangnian followed Liu Su's footsteps and walked side by side with her. He turned his head to look at her delicate and cold face and asked, "Where are you going?"
Without even turning around, Liu Su said coldly, "Didn't you hear? The leader asked me to deal with you."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "How are you going to deal with this?"
Liu Su turned her head to look at him and said expressionlessly: "Kill him and bury him in a hole!"
"I'm afraid your leader doesn't mean this?"
Liu Su looked at him coldly: "If it's not this meaning, what else can it mean?"
Lin Jiangnian said in a relaxed tone, "Your leader is very interested in the Xuanyang Heart Method and values me very highly. How could he be willing to let me die before he gets the complete Xuanyang Heart Method?"
Liu Su glanced at him and said, "You are quite clever. Did you plan this in advance?"
"No!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed, "This is all because of the leader's high regard for me."
Liu Su finally couldn't help it and said angrily, "The leader is not here, so put away your hypocritical and flattering face. It's disgusting... You are the prince of Lin Wang, can't you have a little backbone?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke confidently and confidently: "What are you talking about? When did I ever flatter you? Aren't all I said the truth?"
Liu Su: “…”
Liu Su stared at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
In the end, he said nothing and walked out of the yard.
"Where are you going?"
"Wait for me!"
“…”
Shortly after the two left the courtyard, several figures appeared silently. The leader was none other than the four elders of the Celestial God Cult whom they had met not long ago.
He was dressed in a gray robe and stared expressionlessly in the direction where Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su left.
"Elder, does this Prince Lin really have a secret with the Saint? Why doesn't it look like that?"
"Why did the leader suddenly want to see Prince Lin...but if he didn't kill him after seeing him, why would he keep him around?"
"Could the death of the Great Elder really be related to the Saint?"
There were laughter and whispers from several other figures nearby.
The Fourth Elder's eyes were grim as he said in a cold voice, "The First Elder is a highly skilled martial artist and extremely cautious. Even if he was ambushed by Prince Lin, he would not have lost his life so easily, let alone died quietly..."
"Liu Su said that the Great Elder died at the hands of Prince Lin. How can we believe her words alone? There's already a deep grudge between her and the Great Elder..."
At this point, the Fourth Elder's eyes were extremely gloomy, and his voice became colder: "The leader believes her, but I don't... There must be something fishy going on!"
“…”
People are coming and going on the streets.
Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su appeared outside the town on horseback.
Lin Jiangnian turned around and glanced at the distance behind him: "You take me away, does your leader have any objection?"
Liu Su's eyes were calm: "The leader will be in seclusion for several days and will not come out for the time being."
"You don't have to stay here any longer."
"You're driving me away?"
Liu Su raised her eyes to look at him: "You don't want to leave?"
"Of course not. Your leader and I hit it off right away... Hey, where are you going?"
Before Lin Jiangnian could speak, Liu Su rode away angrily.
Lin Jiangnian followed behind, walking slowly out of the town. When he left the town and reached the official road, he saw Liu Su waiting not far ahead.
She was wearing a plain red dress and sitting on horseback, looking heroic.
The long dress that wrapped around her body showed off her stunning beauty and the aura of a chivalrous heroine. From a distance, she looked like a chic and skilled martial artist wandering the world of martial arts.
Lin Jiangnian rode his horse and approached slowly.
Only then did he see Liu Suzheng with her arms folded across her chest, staring at him condescendingly.
"What's wrong?"
"Today, you have saved your life!"
Liu Su stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time and then spoke.
She didn't expect that she could bring Lin Jiangnian out so smoothly today.
In her heart, she had actually already prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, it didn't come to that.
Although the crisis was only temporarily resolved due to the leader's retreat, it was undoubtedly good news for Liu Su.
"Pick it up?"
Lin Jiangnian said, "How can it be picked up? That was something I managed to survive on my own intelligence and ability, okay?"
Liu Su ignored Lin Jiangnian's nonsense and said solemnly, "You're lucky today, but it will be different next time... Leader, I won't let you go."
At this point, Liu Su stared at him again: "Why did you give the Xuanyang Heart Method to the leader?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "How can I not give it to you?"
Liu Su was silent.
Indeed, under the previous circumstances, if Lin Jiangnian did not give it, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.
but……
"Do you know the consequences of giving the leader the Xuanyang Heart Technique?"
Lin Jiang asked with a young smile, "What are the consequences?"
"You know better than me!"
Liu Su gritted her teeth and said, "The Xuanyang Heart Method is your Lin family's unique family secret, and it is also the best heart method in the world... If it falls into the hands of others, you will be in great trouble..."
She was well aware of the consequences of leaking Xuan Yang's secret technique, and even more so of the consequences of having the secret technique cracked!
So... she had to hurry!
Even she herself couldn't explain why she was so anxious.
Facing Liu Su's questioning, Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes quietly and suddenly laughed: "You care about me?"
Liu Su was stunned when these words came out, and a trace of shame and anger quickly appeared on her face: "Who cares about you?"
"you."
Lin Jiangnian still looked at her quietly and nodded seriously to confirm!
"You care about me!"
“…”
