Chu Li frowned, "Why haven't I heard of the twelve peaks? I think they only have the Phantom Yin Technique."
"Amethyst Mountain is mostly disciples of the Phantom Yin Peak." Lu Yurong nodded, "People almost treat the disciples of the Phantom Yin Peak as disciples of the Amethyst Mountain and forget about the other eleven peaks."
"Is it extinct?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong shook her head, "It's impossible because they could not enter the dojo and could not leave the mountain."
Chu Li pondered, "Then which peak does the Nature Restoration Manifestation belong to?"
"The Nature Restoration Manifestation." Lu Yurong said, "The Nature Restoration Manifestation has always been one of the weaker peaks in the Amethyst Mountain because it's too difficult to cultivate. It's impossible for you to cultivate it so just give up."
"The Nature Restoration Manifestation …" Chu Li was deep in thought.
Lu Yurong said, "To destroy the state of mind, one is to start with the cultivation level of martial arts. The cultivation level is the foundation. Without the cultivation level, it's hard to maintain the state of mind. The other is to start with the state of mind. Every state of mind has a weakness. Find it and you can break it. You don't want Siao Qi's cultivation level to go down the drain?"
"Of course." Chu Li scoffed.
"You want to break the state of mind but you also have compassion for the fairer sex." Lu Yurong shook her head, "You're asking for trouble!"
"There's always a way!" Chu Li scoffed.
"Since you have compassion for the fairer sex, I'll tell you a taboo." Lu Yurong said, "After destroying your cultivation level and breaking the state of mind, you can't use spirit medicine to restore your cultivation level or you'll go mad. … To keep your cultivation level, you can only attack the state of mind. I know you're resourceful and you might be able to get the Life Returning Pill from the Tempest Temple. That's why I'm warning you, don't try to cheat!"
Chu Li nodded slowly. He really did think of that.
Lu Yurong smiled faintly, "Then I'll wait and see how you're going to break her state of mind!"
Chu Li changed the topic. He did not want to see her smile anymore and scoffed, "Is it because the four major sects have the Grandmaster's Study and the first-rate sects have the Spirit Beast Martial Arts?"
"You really want to go against nature and become a god?" Lu Yurong immediately caught his thoughts.
Chu Li said, "I'm lacking in common knowledge."
"This is not common knowledge." Lu Yurong rolled her eyes at him and said, "You think everyone knows this?"
Chu Li smiled.
He did not know how Lu Yurong knew about these secrets. It was like a treasure chest that could not be emptied no matter how hard one tried.
Lu Yurong said, "Among the four major sects, three of them base their heart techniques on Grandmasters' martial arts. Only one of them focuses on Spirit Beast martial arts, and that's Green Deer Cliff."
"Green Deer Cliff …" Chu Li was shocked. "Could it be that they use Spirit Deer as their antique study?"
Lu Yurong shook her head. "They are based on the spirit cranes."
"Spirit Crane?" Chu Li nodded without batting an eyelid. "Could it be that the Spirit Crane Ultimate Technique is the most powerful?"
Lu Yurong said, "Among the spiritual beasts, the Spirit Crane is not the strongest, but it is the most detached. It has almost no natural enemies and can roam freely between heaven and earth. Hence, it has a long lifespan, which is why Green Deer Cliff chose the name of the Spirit Crane. Most importantly, it is easy to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains by practicing the martial arts of the Spirit Crane, and it will not be seen as an enemy by other spiritual beasts."
Chu Li nodded slowly. "Did any of them cultivate the Spirit Crane martial art and become an Enlightened Master?"
"Two." Lu Yurong nodded.
Chu Li took a deep breath and said, "Spirit Crane …"
"However, the martial arts of the Spirit Crane is more difficult than other spiritual beasts. Other spiritual beasts only need the aura to master the martial arts, but the martial arts of the Spirit Crane requires the state of mind. It is more like the martial arts of the Grandmasters, it requires the carefree state of mind of the Spirit Crane." Lu Yurong shook her head. "Moreover, those who are successful in their cultivation usually do not want to leave the mountain and disturb their carefree state. They prefer to live like wild cranes, which is why it is rare to see disciples of Green Deer Cliff."
Chu Li said, "It seems that joining Green Deer Cliff is the right path."
"Green Deer Cliff is most particular about the foundation and the state of mind. The number of disciples they have is comparable to the Titanium Temple." Lu Yurong shook her head. "Do you want to join Green Deer Cliff?"
Chu Li smiled. "Is there any hope of success?"
"Impossible." Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled. "If you practice other martial arts, Green Deer Cliff will not accept you, so you should just give up!"
Chu Li sighed and nodded.
Spirit Cranes, he now had the Spirit Cranes Peak and the Spirit Cranes as friends. If he could cultivate the martial arts of the Spirit Crane, it would be a shortcut.
Lu Yurong said, "Perfecting the martial arts of Spirit Beasts is more difficult than the martial arts of Grandmasters. It requires a wide range of martial arts. Take the disciples of Green Deer Cliff for example. Their basic heart technique is the Spirit Crane Technique and they have to cultivate various martial arts to understand the true meaning of each martial art to improve the Spirit Crane Technique. It is not possible to just rely on the state of mind … From what I know, Green Deer Cliff's disciples have to cultivate at least four Spirit Beast Antique Studies to have any hope of perfecting it. Cultivating one will never achieve perfection, and two is almost impossible. There is a slight hope for three, and four is the most suitable.
Chu Li said, "If that is the case, Green Deer Cliff has many antique studies."
"All four major sects are the same. They do not lack martial arts, they lack disciples." Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li nodded slowly.
"But you don't necessarily have to cultivate four. You're smart, cultivate a few more and you'll advance faster." Lu Yurong smiled. "If you can learn the martial arts of Green Deer Cliff and the antique studies of Li Dynasty's White Tiger Sect, then supplement it with other martial arts, I think you'll achieve perfection in no time!"
"Oh …?" Chu Li's eyes flashed.
Lu Yurong could not help but laugh, "You really took it seriously? That's impossible. Not to mention how strict the two sects are in selecting their disciples, they know each other very well. Green Deer Cliff only has a few disciples and White Tiger Sect is the same. It's impossible for them to switch to another sect. "
Chu Li asked, "Has no one ever succeeded?"
"Not even one." Lu Yurong shook her head. "These are two completely different martial arts. One is free and quiet, while the other is fierce and aggressive. No one can have both temperaments."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully and smiled. "What about Second Young Master?"
"He …?" Lu Yurong scoffed. "He's a good-for-nothing. He listens to women and has no opinion of his own."
"That's a good thing." Chu Li smiled. "He's turning over a new leaf."
"Ji Ruyu is quite law-abiding. Otherwise, there would be no peace in the residence." Lu Yurong shook her head. "What a good-for-nothing!"

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Xia Liyan flew out and crashed heavily into a vermilion pillar in the main hall. The pillar made a muffled sound and dust fell.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and sat under the pillar with a bitter smile. He raised his head to look at the few people who were still standing.
Murong Chun, Zhuge Feng, and Jin Ye.
Opposite them stood a young man in a sapphire blue robe. His appearance was almost identical to Lu Tianji, but he was a few years older. His physique was slightly more muscular. If one did not look closely, it would be easy to miss him and mistake him for Lu Tianji.
The young man closed fist saluted and smiled. "Elder Xia, I'm sorry!"
Xia Liyan said in a muffled voice, "Young Master Xiong has great martial arts!"
He looked at the four elders lying on the ground. They were defeated by Xiong Feng. Just like him, they were sent flying and fell to the ground, unable to fight anymore.
Zhuge Feng said in a low voice, "Is this the Heaven Crushing Palm of Skyward Palace?"
"Yes." Xiong Feng smiled and looked at him. "Next, I would like to experience the antique study of the hill master!"
Murong Chun said, "I'll do it! The hill master has yet to recover from his injuries. He can't fight. "
"Oh —?" Xiong Feng looked at Zhuge Feng from head to toe. His gaze was presumptuous as he laughed. "I see. That's good, that's good. I'll take it as a serious injury!"
