Chapter 213: Chapter 209: Secret Manual

"Only a master from the Heavenly List has the chance to meet the Pavilion Master; others shouldn’t even dream about it."

He Ziyun’s words provided Ling Chen with a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. What surprised him even more was that He Ziyun was a master on the Earthly List. Those who make it onto the Tiger List are already among the top martial artists, and the Dragon List is even more prestigious. As for the Heavenly and Earthly Lists, they transcend the limits of martial arts, reaching another level.

At first, he was eager to spar with He Ziyun, but now he realized that He Ziyun’s refusal was the right decision. The gap in their strengths was too great. Trying to fight him would not be a sparring match, but a beating.

"Ling Chen, if you get a chance, you might try climbing higher."

Confused by this remark, Ling Chen asked, "Mr. He, what do you mean by that?"

"You are currently ranked tenth on the Tiger List, but with your overall strength, you should be able to reach the sixth or seventh position. I know you are indifferent to fame and fortune and are not interested in the Heaven and Earth Dragon and Tiger Four Rankings, but I want to tell you that this is an opportunity to improve yourself. Most importantly, if you can enter the Earthly List and have a discussion with the Pavilion Master, it will definitely be immensely beneficial to you. The Pavilion Master’s words were of great help to me."

"Mr. He, I won’t hide it from you, I came to you this time for this very reason," Ling Chen declared earnestly. "I want to enhance my strength."

During this period, having fought twice with the Enhanced People from the God Organization, he deeply felt his own inadequacies. These Enhanced People were no longer ordinary people, and with his current strength, he couldn’t gain the upper hand. Moreover, the ones he faced were only the lower-level Enhanced People; facing more powerful ones would probably leave him helpless.

The future battles with the God Organization would undoubtedly be prolonged, and to handle more dangers, he had to become stronger. He Ziyun had told him that while his external skills had reached their peak, his Internal Strength was just at the beginning stage. Only a master of Inner Strength could become a true master. Therefore, his visit to He Ziyun this time was to seek guidance on cultivating Inner Strength.

He Ziyun smiled and said, "I already guessed you would come to me; I have prepared something for you." Saying this, he stood up and walked into the rear hall.

Soon, he returned, placing a set of beautifully bound handwritten manuals in front of Ling Chen.

"These are all secret manuals for cultivating Inner Strength, including Shaolin’s Yijinjing, Wudang Sect’s Pure Yang Wuji Technique, Southern Fist Skills, and more..." He Ziyun recounted like listing treasures.

"Mr. He," Ling Chen interrupted him, "I’m not really interested in these Inner Cultivation Methods."

He Ziyun looked surprised. "Then what do you want to learn? These are all top-level Internal Cultivation Methods from various schools; do you find them not worthy?"

"That’s not it. I once told you, I obtained a secret manual by chance, and my martial arts, including Internal Cultivation Methods, are mostly learned from it. However, the Internal Cultivation Methods in it are obscure and hard to understand, so I wanted to consult you for some guidance," explained Ling Chen.

"In the world of martial arts, there’s a saying ’understanding one opens the way to understanding all.’ With a bit of guidance, you can quickly break through the bottleneck. If you don’t mind, it would be best to tell me about those Internal Cultivation Methods so I can study them first."

"No problem. Mr. He, could you prepare some paper and pen? I’ll write it down for you."

Soon, Ling Chen had meticulously written down the Internal Cultivation Method, without missing a single word, and handed it to He Ziyun.

He had studied this Internal Cultivation Method hundreds of times and knew it by heart. Now, as He Ziyun received the content and glanced through it, his eyes were immediately captivated, and a gleam of excitement flashed through his aged eyes.

"Mr. He, how is it? Does this Internal Cultivation Method seem decent?" Ling Chen asked for advice.

He Ziyun let out a bitter smile, "I finally understand why you looked down on the secret manuals I collected. Although I don’t know who created this Internal Cultivation Method, I can affirm that it’s no ordinary method. Honestly, not only do you find it hard to understand, but I’ll also need some time to get it clear and need to study it thoroughly. How about this; you go back, and come again in a week."

"Alright, then I won’t disturb your rest," said Ling Chen, turning to leave. However, as he reached the door, he turned back, "Mr. He, when will Xiaozhu return?"

"She mentioned that she has lots of work in Beijing and probably won’t return to East Sea City for ten to fifteen days. Why, did you need her for something?"

"No, just asking."

Leaving Qingyun Martial Arts Academy, Ling Chen headed straight back to the residential area.

After sleeping for a few hours and waiting until midnight, he opened his eyes, grabbed his pre-prepared backpack, and confidently walked out of the room.

Although it was midnight, the streets were still brightly lit, and many food stalls were filled with people. Ling Chen approached the roadside, hailed a cab, and provided an address.

In less than half an hour, he arrived at his destination.

Looking at the high-rise building in front of him, Ling Chen scrutinized it for a moment. The main entrance was tightly closed, only the security room was lit, and several security personnel were walking around the building, patrolling.

Tightening the backpack on his back, Ling Chen bypassed the security guards and reached the back of the building. The building had thirty-five floors, all covered with thick glass.

Taking advantage of the moment when no security personnel were in sight, Ling Chen quickly took out two suction devices from his backpack and firmly attached them to the glass. Then, using the two suction devices alternately, he slowly started to climb upwards.

Since his wound had not yet fully healed, he didn’t dare to exert too much force, moving very slowly.

After about fifteen minutes, he finally reached the eleventh floor. Taking a few breaths, he secured the two suction devices and wrapped a rope around himself, hanging mid-air. Then, he took out a sharp glass cutter from his backpack and gently slid it along the edge of the glass.

In a short while, the whole piece of glass came loose. Before cutting, he had taken safety measures, sticking the glass with a suction device to prevent it from falling.

After packing up his tools, he untied the rope from his body and smoothly entered the building’s interior.

Equipping his night-vision goggles, he walked and looked around, searching for his target. Soon, a tightly closed company door appeared in his line of sight.

"Boyang Biological Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd... This is the place."

He nodded to himself, then quickly walked up to the door, took out his lock-picking tools, ready to open the door.

However, before he could start, he heard a ’click,’ and the door unexpectedly opened on its own.

At the same time, Ling Chen saw a woman walking out from inside, and he was instantly stunned.
