Chapter 329 Disfigured, Deaf, and Toothless (4)
Suddenly, a misty white light emerged, and An Yiqing squinted at the contents of the box, a thread-bound book with an ancient style coming into her view, bearing four bold characters that danced like dragons and phoenixes - Shennong Nine Styles!
What is this? It doesn’t seem like a medical text.
An Yiqing was somewhat puzzled; she reached out and gently picked up the book, flipping through it cursorily. Then her clear, watery eyes brightened more and more, joy spreading across her face until finally, she simply sat cross-legged and began to read with relish.
The Shennong Nine Styles was a set of cultivation techniques left behind by Shennong Shi. Ordinary people would strengthen their bodies by learning it, while Martial Cultivators could enhance their strength. This was an original creation by Shennong; he had traversed the world with this technique and became a legend by its merit.
The Shennong Nine Styles, as the name implies, consisted of only nine moves. But it wasn’t to say there were only nine techniques. Each move contained a powerful force, and its deeper meanings were left for the learners to comprehend. If one had high perception, they could grasp more from it. If their perception was poor, then unfortunately, it was merely a book for strengthening the body.
From afar, it forms ridges and peaks, differing in height whether near or far. Such was the exquisite subtlety of the Shennong Nine Styles!
An Yiqing finished the first move completely and gently turned the page, then she froze.
Blank? Where are the words?
She flipped through the remaining pages, only to find that just the first move was recorded in the book; the other eight were completely missing!
