His gaze never left the scriptures.
However, he only quickly glanced at the cover of the scripture and did not open it.
This left Kong Wen, who was standing to the side, completely puzzled.
He noticed that Li Yao would pick up a book each time, glance at the title, and then immediately put it down.
Throughout the entire process, Li Yao never opened a single scripture.
Could it be that Li Yao is looking for some very important scripture?
Soon, Li Yao arrived at the area where the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts were collected.
At this moment, Master Kongwen began to feel inexplicably nervous.
If Li Yao were to forcibly seize the Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques at this moment, I'm afraid he would be helpless.
However, to his surprise, Li Yao picked up the book of martial arts techniques just like before, glanced at the cover, and put it back.
Could it be that Li Yao was really just visiting the library?
Master Kongwen was completely baffled!
At this moment, Master Kongwen probably never imagined that Li Yao was already secretly learning the 72 Shaolin Arts.
Li Yao picked up a book called "The Finger of No Form".
"Ding! The host has been detected to have acquired the martial skill 'Formless Finger of Calamity'. You can consume 80 points of luck to automatically learn this martial skill!"
Li Yao picked up another book, "The Diamond Sutra Palm".
"Ding! The host has been detected to have acquired the martial skill 'Vajra Prajna Palm'. You can consume 80 Luck Points to automatically learn this martial skill!"
Li Yao picked up another book, "The Lion's Roar".
"Ding! The host has been detected to have acquired the martial skill 'Lion's Roar'. You can consume 80 Luck Points to automatically learn this martial skill!"
...
In the blink of an eye, Li Yao had learned these Shaolin skills.
That's awesome!
The saying goes, "It's never a bad thing to have many skills."
He had already begun to plan in his mind that, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would combine the martial arts techniques of various schools and create his own martial arts.
For example, combining the palm techniques of various schools and sects to create a new palm technique, and so on.
There was one thing Li Yao couldn't understand: Zhao Min's martial arts skills were terrible, yet she was determined to steal some secret techniques from the masters of the six major sects.
So, when Zhao Min was sweeping through Shaolin Temple, why didn't she wipe out all 72 Shaolin Arts?
Women's minds are truly perplexing!
At this moment, Li Yao saw a book called "Indestructible Vajra Body Divine Skill".
This is really good stuff!
He quickly picked it up.
"Ding! Detected that the host has obtained the cultivation technique 'Indestructible Vajra Body Divine Skill'. Do you wish to consume 1000 Luck Points to fuse this technique into the 'Great Dao True Scripture'?"
Li Yao immediately issued a command: "Merge!"
"Ding! Consumed 1000 Luck Points, successfully fused with the Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, currently deducing the fourth level of the Great Dao True Scripture."
The Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill, like the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, is a body-refining technique.
However, these two techniques have different focuses.
The Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Skill focuses on the physical body and defense.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, on the other hand, focuses on strength and attack.
Practicing these two techniques together allows for both offense and defense, making them a perfect match.
Soon, Li Yao had almost mastered all seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin Temple.
However, there was another incredibly powerful martial arts manual from Shaolin that he had never been able to find.
That is the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).
The Yi Jin Jing is a treasure among the Shaolin martial arts manuals. Practicing the Yi Jin Jing can cleanse the bones and marrow, and cultivate unparalleled internal strength.
For example, the Sweeper Monk in the world of Tianlong, after mastering the Yi Jin Jing, can form a three-foot-long wall of energy around his body, making it impossible for his opponents to attack or break through.
Although the Yi Jin Jing is powerful, it is not easy to practice, and one can easily go astray if one is not careful.
For example, Kumārajīva in the world of Tianlong almost lost his life.
According to the storyline of Tianlong, Kumārajīva later gave the Yijinjing to Duan Yu, entrusting Duan Yu to return it to Shaolin Temple.
Duan Yu is honest and kind; he probably wouldn't have kept the Yi Jin Jing for himself.
Therefore, the Yi Jin Jing should still be in the Shaolin Temple.
However, Li Yao searched the entire library but could not find the Yi Jin Jing.
So he asked Kongwen directly, "Master Kongwen, I have heard that your temple also has a copy of the Yijinjing. Why isn't it in the Sutra Repository?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Wen immediately understood.
It turns out that Li Yao was looking for the Yi Jin Jing!
Indeed, given Li Yao's current martial arts prowess, he probably wouldn't even consider the 72 Shaolin Arts.
Only the Shaolin Temple's most precious treasure, the Yi Jin Jing, could move Li Yao's heart.
No wonder Li Yao didn't even bother to look at the Seventy-Two Ultimate Skills!
Kong Wen sighed and said, "Our temple did indeed once have a copy of the Yi Jin Jing, but unfortunately it was stolen more than a hundred years ago and has not been recovered to this day."
"Not found?"
Li Yao frowned, and suddenly two strange lights shot out from his eyes as he stared intently at Kong Wen.
Kong Wen suddenly felt exhausted and drowsy.
In an extremely gentle voice, Li Yao asked again, "Kong Wen, where exactly is the Yi Jin Jing hidden?"
Kong Wen seemed to be hypnotized, mechanically repeating what he had said before.
It turned out that Li Yao had used the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual to hypnotize Kong Wen, wanting to confirm whether Kong Wen was lying.
I didn't expect Kongwen to give this answer.
Li Yao asked Kong Wen three times in total, and Kong Wen's answer was always the same.
It seems that Kong Wen was not lying.
That's strange. Could it be that Duan Yu secretly kept the Yi Jin Jing?
However, in the world of Swordsman, Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple learned the Yi Jin Jing.
What exactly happened?
Could it be that the Yi Jin Jing is in the Shaolin Temple, but Kong Wen doesn't know it?
Regardless, Li Yao will not be able to obtain the Yi Jin Jing this time.
But I have no regrets.
As the saying goes, water overflows when it is full, and the moon wanes after it is full.
He has now deduced the "Great Dao True Scripture" to the fourth level, which is enough for his current cultivation.
Moreover, he has now acquired almost all of Shaolin Temple's unique skills.
These skills are enough for him to digest for a while.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yao coughed lightly, and Kong Wen immediately woke up.
Kong Wen looked bewildered, as if he had just taken a nap.
Li Yao cupped his hands and said, "Master Kongwen, it is time for me to take my leave."
Kong Wen said "Oh" and quickly glanced at the bookshelf, but did not find any missing scriptures.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems I was poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder, which made me so tired that I almost fell asleep.
Kong Wen was unaware that he had been hypnotized by Li Yao.
Li Yao and Kong Wen left the Sutra Repository.
Wei Yixiao and Fan Yao, who had just caught up, immediately came to greet them.
Wei Yixiao asked, "Master, are we going to Wudang next?"
Li Yao smiled thoughtfully and said, "No, our next stop is the Beggars' Sect."
Chapter 112 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"The Beggars' Sect?"
Wei Yixiao was greatly puzzled and quickly asked, "Master, didn't you send Left Envoy Yang, Zhou Dian, and Shuobude to the Beggars' Sect?"
Li Yao glanced at Kong Wen, who, being quite perceptive, immediately claimed that he was busy with temple affairs and left.
Then, Li Yao explained:
“Zhao Min led the Vajra Sect to sweep through Shaolin Temple, and Prince Ruyang must know about this.”
"Now that Zhao Min and her gang have been wiped out, Prince Ruyang will certainly not let this go."
"We arranged for people to spread the word that Zhao Min and her group had failed in their raid on Shaolin Temple and were trapped there."
"Zhao Min is deeply loved by the Prince of Ruyang, who may send a large army to attack Shaolin Temple and rescue her."
"Therefore, this is a great opportunity to weaken the Mongol Yuan forces."
“We secretly mobilized our sect’s militia around Henan and gathered them near Mount Song.”
