Su Que saw that he had practiced the Red Fiend Technique to its peak, and began to ponder which cultivation technique to train next.
In his possession were two sinister techniques: "Yin Wind Claw" and "Profound Yin Finger."
"I will start with 'Yin Wind Claw'!"
Su Que swiftly made up his mind.
However, it was already night, so he decided to train tomorrow.
...
Early the next morning, Su Que woke up early to review the secret manual of Yin Wind Claw.
Yin Wind Claw was a vicious martial art.
A single claw strike could not only injure an enemy's flesh but also leave a poisonous trace on the wound.
This poison, firstly, made the enemy's wound difficult to heal.
Secondly, it permeated into the enemy's flesh through the wound; if not purged with medicinal stones or True Qi, the poison would linger in the body, continuing to damage the flesh and meridians.
The cultivation method had a first stage that involved using external forces to train the muscles and bones of the hands, making them harder.
The manual detailed a combination of medicinal soaking, sand and stone, Qi and blood training, and hitting exercises.
Only when one could easily insert five fingers into a living body without using True Qi, relying solely on physical strength, would the first stage be considered complete.
'Why does it start with inserting fingers into living bodies? Isn't that bloody and perverse?'
Su Que thought to himself.
Moreover, it was too early at home to find a living body other than himself.
Su Que continued reading, learning that inserting fingers into a living body was actually to prepare for the second stage.
The second stage involved inserting five fingers into the living body and using the unique breathing method of the Yin Wind Claw to absorb death qi into the hands.
All animals harbor life and death qi within them.
In animals near death, the presence of death qi was most abundant, making them ideal for practicing Yin Wind Claw.
'Forget it, I have to teach children later, better not have bloodstained hands.'
Su Que decided to find animals for practicing this sinister technique in the evening.
...
In the evening, after dinner, Su Que left the city and headed towards a forest.
There were many beasts in Cyan Flower Mountain, which he had roasted and eaten, finding them in this mountain forest had become difficult.
Thus, he moved to another forest.
After darting through the forest for a quarter of an hour, he spotted four wild wolves searching for food.
He immediately kicked off his feet and leaped toward the wolves like an arrow.
Before the wolves could react, Su Que's mid-air, four-fist attack had left them barely alive.
Soon after, Su Que crouched beside one of the wolves, fingers curved into claws, and fiercely grabbed the wolf's body!
Suddenly!
His ten fingers plunged into the wolf's flesh and blood.
The wolf's hot blood spurted from the wounds made by his fingers.
His fingers felt warm, sticky, and greasy.
Quickly, Su Que composed his heart spirit and, according to the Yin Wind Claw manual, began the breathing technique.
Not long after, he felt a cool breath gather from the wolf's body, passing through his ten fingers, into his hands.
According to the Yin Wind Claw manual, the practice involved frequently absorbing death qi, which caused bodily damage.
When absorbing death qi, the flesh and meridians sustained damage, leading to a chilling sensation and stagnated Qi blood.
Thereafter, the death qi would lie dormant in the body, erupting at midnight!
Initially, upon practicing Yin Wind Claw, at midnight, Qi blood stagnated faintly, and the side effects were not noticeable.
Upon reaching minor achievement in Yin Wind Claw, at midnight, yin qi haunted the body, causing chills and paralysis.
If Yin Wind Claw achieved great success, at midnight, one felt as though immersed in an icy chamber, unable to resist the cold even after soaking in hot water.
After enduring severe cold, the body went completely numb, incapable of movement, only able to helplessly wait for an hour as it gradually recovered.
Additionally, Qi blood stagnation led to premature aging, blurry vision, poor hearing, and numerous issues for the cultivator.
After realizing the side effects of Yin Wind Claw, Su Que understood that the medicinal formula "Blood-Shocking Soup" obtained from Fan Wuyang was used not only to accelerate training but also to counteract the side effects of Yin Wind Claw.
Because the "Blood-Shocking Soup" caused Qi blood to boil and flow, enabling stagnated Qi blood due to Yin Wind Claw's side effects to become active again.
However, any cultivation side effects would reverse in Su Que's body.
Normally, absorbing death qi led to stagnated Qi blood.
But now, upon absorbing death qi, Su Que's Qi blood started to slightly boil and flow, as if he had taken a sip of Blood-Shocking Soup.
Su Que felt invigorated, continued breathing and absorption, and took in more death qi.
Before a short tea time had passed, the wolf with Su Que's fingers plunged in had died completely.
The wolf's fur drooped lifelessly, dim and dull.
Su Que noticed only a little blood seeped from the finger wounds, and it was no longer hot, but cold like autumn river water.
Su Que drew out his fingers, seeing the wolf's wound turned black.
Curious, he tore the wolf's skin along the wound, discovering that not only the wound turned black, but the entire flesh was blackened.
"Judging by the cultivation method, 'Yin Wind Claw' is even more sinister than 'Red Fiend Technique.'"
Su Que pondered, kicked his feet, darted next to another wolf, curled his fingers into claws, and abruptly grabbed down.
His fingers plunged into the wolf's flesh again, breathing and absorbing death qi.
After some time, he felt the death qi reach a critical point.
Thus, he summoned his attributes for a look.
Yin Wind Claw had indeed reached entry 99%.
Su Que continued breathing and absorbing death qi.
After a while, he suddenly felt a massive amount of death qi rushing from the dying wolf's body into his hands.
"A breakthrough!"
Su Que summoned his attributes.

Slash!
Su Que withdrew his hands from the wolf's flesh.
His hands were covered in wolf blood, but appeared unchanged.
Nevertheless, at that moment, with a thought, his hands emitted strands of chilling yin qi.
Suddenly, he clawed his right hand over the wolf's body.
A lump of wolf flesh was clawed away, revealing claw marks on the surface, with the wound displaying a faint black hue.
"Is this the yin poison?"
Su Que retracted the yin qi on his hand, touched the blackened area with his fingers.
Immediately, he felt strands of coldness from the fingertips.
Also, Su Que sensed the yin poison slightly corroding his fingertip's skin.
"Red Fiend Technique is fire poison, while Yin Wind Claw is yin poison."
"Using these two techniques consecutively could surprise the opponent."
Su Que mused, while curling his fingers into claws again, thrusting them into the wolf's flesh with a squish, breathing and absorbing more death qi.
The progress of Yin Wind Claw's cultivation continued to rise rapidly.
