Ding Hui really glared at Fang Yu this time.

Fortunately, just then Doctor Yun called her over to help, so she got busy again.

Fang Yu took advantage of the moment to open the partial martial arts manual that Ding Hui had given him.

"Cat Tail Power."

That was the name of the manual.

It was indeed a Cultivation Technique for Qi Cultivation, only severely incomplete, containing just a portion of the training content; the first half of the introduction was fragmented.

Fang Yu briefly scanned through it and discovered that the "Cat Tail Power" Cultivation Technique referred to the Dantian as a 'Qi Vortex,' essentially the eye of a Qi storm for storage. He wondered why the terminology differed - perhaps this technique was more unorthodox.

Contrary to what Fang Yu had imagined, "Cat Tail Power" actually established three Dantians, all concentrated in the groin area.

Concentrating the Qi flow in the groin and extending it backward, it formed an invisible tail.

And those three Dantians were like three nodes, similar to the joints of bones, responsible for controlling this invisible tail and performing various operations.

Because the 'tail' was made up of Qi and constituted a new limb, it seemed more flexible and forceful in structure, and had tremendous potential for extension.

You could make the Qi within the tail collide internally to strengthen its hardness, following a rigid and tough approach.

Alternatively, you could soften it, thereby performing various nimble supportive actions.

Not to mention increasing its tenacity while keeping it rigid, using it as a defensive measure.

In short, through different directions of cultivation, this invisible tail could take on different forms - it was quite versatile.

The only problem was, the incomplete manual did not record how to actually practice this technique. It only had an introduction and some basic preliminary content.

As how the three Dantians should be condensed at which specific locations in the groin, in what proportions and directions, it was all unknown.

Although Fang Yu had systematic training assistance, he still felt unsure about this technique.

"Could I end up cultivating myself into demonic possession?"

Fang Yu muttered to himself.

To reach the level where the system could allocate points, he first needed to unlock proficiency.

But looking at the "Cat Tail Power" and its fragmented content, it mainly offered overviews, and detailed training parts were extremely rare, making the likelihood of unlocking proficiency very low.

The previous "Two-Heart Lock" could be researched together with Ding Hui, and they could probably figure out the gist of it since it wasn't dreadfully incomplete.

But with this manual, there was basically no hope.

Even so, having this partial manual gave Fang Yu a rough idea of how to cultivate the Dantians.

Next, he would need to find a complete secret manual for reference during cultivation.

"Diao Deyi."

Just at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Turning his head, he found a person standing at the door.

[Dong Xingzhou: 3000/3000.]

That previously astonishing high amount of health no longer seemed so extraordinary.

But compared to his own constitution of a little over a hundred, it was still far too much.

"Master Dong Xingzhou."

Fang Yu went out to make a polite gesture.

At this moment, Dong Xingzhou was already dressed in the uniform that only a Deputy Captain could wear, which clearly indicated that his 'suspension of duty' had ended prematurely.

It made sense. With Wu Lvzhu, the Hall Master, having encountered trouble, there was no reason to keep a Deputy Captain on leave.

"Master An has ordered me to take you to the True Scripture Pavilion."

Dong Xingzhou approached this matter in a businesslike manner, and did not exchange pleasantries with Fang Yu.

Understanding his intent, Fang Yu shouted to Ding Hui, but she was too busy to respond and just gestured to show she understood.

Following Dong Xingzhou out of the Jingyun Building and onto a secluded path, Dong Xingzhou finally spoke up.

"Who would have thought that Wu Hall Master would encounter disaster. It would have been better had I been there that day; perhaps I could have helped."

What could Fang Yu say?

Didn't everyone wish that such things never happened?

As he thought about how to phrase his response, Dong Xingzhou suddenly said again,

"The other day, when I told you not to get involved at the brothel, I did it for your own good."

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized Dong Xingzhou was referring to the incident involving Qiong Xiaolou and Eastern Gate Orchid at the brothel.

To be honest,

Fang Yu didn't care much about the people, but he was quite interested in the Artifact that caused objects it touched to temporarily vanish.

"Master Dong Xingzhou, that day at the brothel, the Artifact was right in front of us, easily within reach. Why not reclaim it?"

"Because the task Wu Hall Master left me was not to seize the Artifact."

Not to take the Artifact? Then what could it be?

Could it be... the focus was on monitoring people? Keeping an eye on the Bonfire Gathering?

Fang Yu was puzzled. He probed further with a couple of questions, but Dong Xingzhou ignored him.

It wasn't until they arrived in front of the True Scripture Pavilion that Dong Xingzhou suddenly spoke again.

"Actually, I'm a bit uneasy."

Fang Yu: ?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Looking at the True Scripture Pavilion, Fang Yu's mind was full of thoughts about secret manuals; he had no interest in listening to him.

But he still had to patiently ask,

"Why are you uneasy, sir?"

"Because things have started to get a bit out of hand. Both the current operation and the group I was previously tracking are beginning to cause concern. Especially that gang, behind them seems to be an even more terrifying force, supporting them."

Fang Yu didn't know what he was talking about; was it the Bonfire Gathering? Indeed, the organization always gave off a strange vibe, making even himself, a protector, feel that there was something amiss.

This time, Dong Xingzhou, without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, suddenly turned around and faced him, saying,

"Wu Hall Master once told me, should anything happen to me, you would continue the mission. Although I believe I can handle it myself, I don't mind leaving a backup plan. The current whereabouts of Qiong Xiaolou and Miss Qian Qian are Baoan Temple. They shouldn't change in the short term, but if there are any changes, I'll find a way to let you know."
