"Big Brother, I'm so bored." A little girl, as delicate as a jade sculpture, skipped into Zhao Hao's palace.

Zhao Hao put down the scroll in his hands, pulled the little girl into his arms, and said affectionately, "Ling'er, you're being naughty again."

This was Zhao Hao's twin sister in this life, to be precise, they were a pair of fraternal twins.

After Zhao Hao learned this news, he felt quite speechless.

The *Great Dream Heart Sutra* was indeed reliable; it said it would find him royal blood, and he ended up being born under Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was not particularly remarkable, average in appearance, mediocre in talent, lacking in courage, and devoid of means.

But Zhao Yun had a very impressive identity—he was Emperor Lizong of Song, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhao Hao was not a historian, he knew that Zhao Yun had only one son, Zhao Wei.

And this only son died not long after birth.

However, in this life, due to Zhao Hao's appearance, some chain reaction was triggered, and Zhao Yun actually gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins, naming the boy Zhao Hao and the girl Zhao Ling'er.

Zhao Yun was very pleased, saying that heaven had eyes and had sent him a crown prince and a loving little cotton-padded jacket.

Zhao Hao felt very strange about this.

It wasn't because of himself, but because of Zhao Ling'er.

Zhao Ling'er, this name was very, very common, but if this woman had Liu Tianxian's face, Zhao Hao found it hard not to associate her with the Zhao Ling'er from the *Jade Sword* world.

When Zhao Hao was young, he didn't notice much. But as Zhao Ling'er grew up, Zhao Hao was stunned.

What was going on?

At the same time, Zhao Hao thought of another issue.

If Zhao Ling'er in this life was indeed the Zhao Ling'er from *Jade Sword*, then Xiaolongnü was also like this.

That meant Zhao Ling'er and Xiaolongnü would look exactly the same.

Zhao Hao sighed to the sky, feeling that this was a happy烦恼.

"Big Brother, what are you reading? Hmm, *Nine Yin Manual*, what's this?" Zhao Ling'er asked curiously.

Zhao Hao's heart stirred, and he said, "It's a very powerful martial arts secret manual. Do you want to learn it, Ling'er?"

The *Nine Yin Manual* is a powerful and renowned martial arts secret manual in Jin Yong's wuxia novels, and it is a treasure that everyone in the martial world wants to obtain.

The martial arts recorded in the *Nine Yin Manual* are profound and powerful. Almost all the principles of high-level martial arts do not deviate from the content of the *Nine Yin Manual*, making it an encyclopedia of martial arts. Any kind of supreme martial arts can find corresponding principles in the manual, almost reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

The manual includes internal cultivation, lightness skills, fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques, staff techniques, whip techniques, finger and claw techniques, point striking techniques, healing methods, breath-holding techniques, and soul-moving techniques, among others. Mastering any one of these skills can make one unparalleled in the martial world, like Mei Chaofeng, who became invincible in the desert after mastering the *Nine Yin White Bone Claw* from the manual.

In the worlds of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* and *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, the *Nine Yin Manual* is the ultimate treasure and the key to the conflicts in both worlds.

Guo Jing, Zhou Botong, Northern Beggar Hong Qigong, Western Poison Ou Yangfeng, Southern Emperor Yideng Dashi, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, Xiaolongnü, and others have all practiced the martial arts from the *Nine Yin Manual*.

In *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, the ultimate winner of the Huashan Gathering, Wang Chongyang, needed to borrow the *Nine Yin Manual* to understand the martial arts created by the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Lin Chaoying. He left behind the poem, "Lin Chaoying, surpassing the Quanzhen, Wang Chongyang, never inferior in life."

The power of the *Nine Yin Manual* is evident.

Zhao Hao came to this world to practice martial arts and become the best in the world to leave it. The *Nine Yin Manual* was something he had to obtain.

If Zhao Hao remembered correctly, the *Nine Yin Manual* was now half in the Ancient Tomb and Guo Jing had almost mastered it.

But Zhao Hao didn't need to go far to find it.

Because the founder of the *Nine Yin Manual*, Huang Shang, was a Song Dynasty official.

Huang Shang, from Yanping, was a top scholar and originally a civil official. He understood the principles of martial arts while proofreading the *Daozang*.

Later, Huang Shang was sent to destroy the Ming Cult. The soldiers were incompetent and lost the battle. Huang Shang, unwilling to accept defeat, single-handedly killed many members of the Ming Cult, which led to many people seeking revenge. Huang Shang fled, and his family was killed. To avenge his deep hatred, Huang Shang secluded himself for over forty years, thinking about how to counter his enemies' martial arts.

After forty years, he re-emerged, but his enemies were already dead, and the only remaining one, a young girl, was now old. Huang Shang, reflecting on his obsession with revenge, wrote down all his knowledge in the *Nine Yin Manual* and passed it down to future generations. The original *Nine Yin Manual* was sealed in the imperial archives.

As Zhao Yun's natural heir, it was extremely easy for Zhao Hao to find the *Nine Yin Manual* in the imperial archives.

Although the Song Dynasty was confined to a corner, the imperial palace was never short of talent.

If Zhao Hao wanted to practice martial arts, there were plenty of palace experts eager to guide him.

The Sanskrit preface might be troublesome for others, but for Zhao Hao, he just needed to speak, and there would be countless talents vying to translate it for him.

Others had to learn martial arts and sell their skills to the imperial family, but being born into the imperial family was much more comfortable.

Zhao Hao started practicing martial arts from a young age, using the *Nine Yin Manual*'s *Sinew Metamorphosis and Bone Forging* section to lay a solid foundation.

Taoist martial arts progress step by step in the early stages, maintaining a balanced and harmonious development, and only rapidly improve in the later stages.

Zhao Hao was not in a hurry.

Looking at the worlds of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* and *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, no one truly unleashed the full power of the *Nine Yin Manual*, nor did anyone truly delve into its secrets.

Because when they obtained the *Nine Yin Manual*, they already had other legacies, making it extremely difficult to switch to the *Nine Yin Manual*.

It's already quite challenging for martial artists to master one skill, and if they are greedy and try to learn everything, they will end up with nothing.

Zhao Hao was different. He started with the *Nine Yin Manual* and had not practiced any other martial arts.

Because of his focus, he became proficient.

With the *Nine Yin Manual* in hand, there were few martial arts in the *Return of the Condor Heroes* world that Zhao Hao would find impressive.

Zhao Ling'er, with her mischievous nature, opened her bright eyes wide when she heard Zhao Hao offer to teach her martial arts and asked, "Is this martial art powerful?"

"Of course it is. If you master the martial arts in this manual, Ling'er, you can fly in the sky like a fairy," Zhao Hao smiled.

For a little girl, invincibility and eternal youth were far less appealing than flying in the sky.

Sure enough.

"I want to learn, I want to learn. Big Brother, teach me," Zhao Ling'er called out.

Zhao Hao didn't know at the time what kind of monster he was creating.

PS: I solemnly declare that I do not have a sister, and I am absolutely not a sister complex, absolutely not a sister complex, absolutely not a sister complex. Important things are said three times; you should believe me, right.
