"Yin Wind Claw" is a cultivation technique comparable in level to the "Red Fiend Technique". Unlike the two secret skills "Seven Injuries Fist" and "Marriage Robe Divine Skill", it is not complex to cultivate.
Since Su Que's Talent Value is higher than before, his cultivation of the "Yin Wind Claw" is progressing with divine speed.
Five days later, at night, Su Que was in the mountain forest, cultivating the Yin Wind Claw.
His hands were curved into claws as he leapt among the trees.
With each claw's strike, a chilling aura spread through the air.
The Yin Wind Claw is divided into three parts: one part trains the hands, another absorbs death qi, and the third consists of corresponding techniques.
Each time Su Que used the breathing and qi-absorbing method recorded in "Yin Wind Claw" to absorb death qi, he began practicing the claw techniques.
After five days of cultivation, his mastery of the Yin Wind Claw had reached 5th Realm Refining Skill at 69%.
Like the Red Fiend Technique, the Yin Wind Claw is a slightly unique martial art in the Martial Arts world, barely making it to the flowing stream category but cannot be called a secret skill.
Since its creation, the Yin Wind Claw could only be cultivated to the 4th Realm Elite level.
However, due to Su Que's exceptional enlightenment, he deduced the cultivation method of the Yin Wind Claw to the 5th Realm Refining Skill.
Upon reaching the 5th Realm Refining Skill, Su Que's lifespan increased to 186, extending by 21 years compared to when he first entered the 1st Realm Initial Insight of the Yin Wind Claw.
His Talent Value increased by 4 points to 35 as a result.
Swish!
Su Que's hands curved into claws, swinging through the air, with a chilling aura surrounding his body.
Suddenly, he darted to the side, striking a tree with a claw.
Thud!
Five fingers of his right hand sank into the tree trunk instantly, with death qi erupting as the spot penetrated by his fingers began to wither and rot visibly.
Thud!
Immediately, he inserted the five fingers of his left hand into the trunk as well, channeling death qi with all his might.
Soon, the area around where his ten fingers penetrated the tree began to wither, turn black, and rot.
Once the section of the trunk was completely rotten, the entire tree snapped here and fell to the side.
The upper trunk and bare treetop crashed to the ground, making a loud noise, startling the birds in the forest from their slumber.
'Now the cultivation of the Yin Wind Claw is at 5th Realm Refining Skill 69%, might as well tonight push it to the peak.'
Thinking this, Su Que launched off his toes, sweeping through the forest in search of beasts.
After a while, he found a deer and immediately sprang forward, fingers curved into claws, suddenly extending, thrusting his ten fingers into the deer's body.
The deer whimpered a few times, its sound growing fainter, eyes visibly dimming, fur beginning to wither and fall, revealing skin that was turning black.
Su Que operated the unique breathing method of the Yin Wind Claw, death qi surging from the deer's body, absorbed into his hands.
Soon, the deer's body entirely became a pitch-black piece of rotten flesh.
Seeing the death qi had been absorbed completely, Su Que immediately withdrew his ten fingers and continued to dart through other parts of the forest.
Before long, he found a fat tiger, immediately launching off his feet, darting over, fingers formed into claws, and suddenly thrust them down into the tiger's body!
Poof!
His ten fingers sank into the tiger's body, and the tiger's hot fresh blood gushed along his fingers.
The tiger roared in pain, trying to claw at Su Que.
But its claws only extended halfway before limply falling down.
Feeling the stickiness of the blood, Su Que operated his breathing and qi-absorbing method, continuously absorbing the death qi.
Thus, about half an hour later, Su Que found three more beasts, bringing his Yin Wind Claw to 5th Realm Refining Skill 99%.
Su Que felt that the chilling death qi emitted by his Yin Wind Claw was several times denser than what Fan Wuyang released back then.
He recalled the scene when he beat up Fan Wuyang, guessing Fan Wuyang only cultivated this skill to the 3rd Realm Ascension.
Fan Wuyang took a dozen to twenty years to reach the 3rd Realm Ascension, while he, in just 5 days, reached the 5th Realm Refining Skill.
'Fan Wuyang definitely wasn't as diligent as me!'
Su Que thought this self-amusingly while pulling out his ten fingers, preparing to wash his hands by the river and then go home to sleep. Tomorrow he would cultivate the last remaining skill, the Profound Yin Finger.
After mastering the Red Fiend Technique and Yin Wind Claw to their peaks, his Talent Value increased from the original 24 to 35.
He planned to bring the Profound Yin Finger to its peak, enhance his Talent Value, and then cultivate the Seven Injuries Fist and Marriage Robe Divine Skill.
With a higher Talent Value, the cultivation progress of these two secret skills would surely be faster.
Su Que first returned to the cave on Cyan Flower Mountain, fetched some plant ash, then went to the riverbank, squatted down, and washed his hands in the cool river water.
Plant ash is used for cleaning since his hands were soaked in the beasts' fresh blood for too long. If not washed thoroughly, they would retain a bloody smell that others could easily detect when close by.
Once his hands were completely clean, Su Que sprinted back to Jade Water City.
...
Early the next morning, Su Que sat up from bed and took out a folded piece of worn sheepskin parchment from his coat.
The cultivation method for the "Profound Yin Finger" was recorded on this parchment.
Su Que unfolded the parchment and carefully read the small, dark blue characters on it.
The cultivation method of the "Profound Yin Finger" was much more normal than that of the "Yin Wind Claw".
Its cultivation method was quite similar to the "Red Fiend Technique".
Cultivating the "Profound Yin Finger" involves using its special breathing and qi-absorbing method to incubate "Profound Yin True Qi" in the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.
"Profound Yin True Qi" merges with finger force to become "Profound Yin Finger Force".
The finger force is cold; if it strikes the enemy, it can freeze and injure their blood and flesh, and if it enters the enemy's meridians, it can freeze and injure their meridians and blood and flesh, even the five viscera and six bowels.
The Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian is originally the meridian that nourishes yang qi; cultivating yin qi within it over time lowers the cultivator's constitution, causing the five viscera and six bowels and other organs to degenerate, reducing lifespan.
Seeing this, Su Que immediately realized that the medicinal formula "Yang-Raising Powder" obtained from Luo You was used to counteract the Profound Yin Finger's side effects.
However, he didn't need it, as these side effects would transform into beneficial influences on him.
After reading through the cultivation method of the "Profound Yin Finger", Su Que folded the sheepskin parchment holding the "Profound Yin Finger" back into his coat.
Then he sat cross-legged on his bed, following the breathing method recorded in the secret manual, and focused on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, imagining a wisp of yin qi slowly brewing within the meridian.
Soon, Su Que felt a faint chill on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.
His interest piqued, he called up his attributes to glance at them, and indeed saw that the Profound Yin Finger had reached entry-level at 99%.
He hid the attributes, settled his mind, and continued to focus on that vague chill in the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian.
Before long, the chill became more pronounced.
Suddenly, a wisp of cold true qi was born on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, capable of moving throughout his body at will.
