Gao Xuan seemed a bit shy, he lowered his gaze, not daring to make eye contact with Third Lady. But his hand instinctively reached around to the back of Third Lady.

Third Lady quite enjoyed this situation. She reached out to touch Gao Xuan's chest, slowly moving down, "That's right, just like that, serve Third Lady well..."

Just as Third Lady was feeling pleased, she felt a numbness at her Fengmen Acupoint on her back, and her body suddenly froze.

The Fengmen Acupoint is a crucial point on the Du Meridian. If this acupoint is controlled, it can cause mild paralysis of the whole body or even severe paralysis on the spot.

With Gao Xuan's Inner Strength, it wouldn't be easy to strike her acupoint. Her body was filled with Inner Strength, and upon sensing a Finger Force attack, she would naturally contract her muscles and circulate her Qi to resist it.

As long as she reacted, she could slap the boy to death on the spot with one palm.

Third Lady never expected that Gao Xuan would have the guts to make a move on her. Even more unexpected, Gao Xuan actually used his fingers to hold a Poison Needle, directly stabbing her acupoint with it.

Such a technique was quite sinister. Although Third Lady's cultivation was a notch higher than Gao Xuan's, she was controlled on the spot.

Third Lady was both furious and shocked: "You're insane, what do you think you're doing?"

Her whole body was numb and stiff, and although she could speak, she couldn't raise her voice much. Even though she was extremely angry, her voice was low and powerless.

Gao Xuan said solemnly, "Before, I had no choice. From today on, I want to be a good person."

Third Lady looked at Gao Xuan in disbelief. This kid had been trained by the Sect since childhood. Where did he get any sense of morality? Suddenly saying he wants to be a good person was simply laughable.

She angrily said, "The Sect raised you, taught you martial arts, taught you to read and write, and this is how you repay the Sect?"

"The Sect sells people, slaughters the innocent, every penny soaked in blood. Even I was abducted by the Sect."

Gao Xuan shook his head and said, "You all deserve to die, you all deserve to go to Hell."

Third Lady saw that Gao Xuan didn't appear to be pretending, and she got even angrier: "You've only just entered the Jianghu, don't be deceived by those so-called righteous sects. The Jianghu is a world where people eat people. The righteous sects have big fists and fast knives; they get the biggest piece of meat.

"We, with our modest abilities, can only engage in shady businesses. You think, if it weren't for the protection of those prominent sects, how could we have been doing such businesses for so long!"

Third Lady, her face contorted with rage, said, "We drink the blood of ordinary people, the prominent sects eat our flesh. What's the difference? Do you really think you can uphold justice and be a chivalrous hero saving the world? Dream on... What ability do you have to save the world?"

To Third Lady's surprise, Gao Xuan actually nodded in agreement: "You're right, ultimately it's the whole world that's wrong. Society is so harsh that even if I had divine powers, I couldn't save everyone."

Then Gao Xuan changed his tone: "However, saving one person, doing one right thing, is always good."

Third Lady still wanted to speak, but the poison gradually flowed along with her blood, making her tongue a bit numb, and she couldn't speak anymore.

"The toxin from the Poisonous Bee Needle spreads very quickly."

Gao Xuan said, "If this continues, you will soon die."

Third Lady realized the situation was not good and lost her earlier bravado. Her eyes showed a pleading look. She used all her strength, speaking word by word, "What do you want, I will give you."

"Exchanging the Golden Silk Palm for your life, worth it, right?" Gao Xuan asked slowly.

Third Lady secretly hated him. This kid talked about being a good person, upholding justice, but all along he just wanted to steal her Golden Silk Palm.

For the sake of a Palm Technique, this kid was willing to betray the Sect, truly an ungrateful wretch.

Once she regained some strength, she would kill this kid.

Third Lady was secretly ruthless, but she quickly agreed verbally, "Fine, no, problem."

Noticing that Third Lady's condition was not good, Gao Xuan struck the Tiantu, Hua Gai, and Purple Palace acupoints of Third Lady.

He struck the four acupoints in front and back of Third Lady, sealing off the flow of Inner Strength through her Ren and Du Meridians, leaving her powerless.

Gao Xuan fed Third Lady the antidote for the Poisonous Bee Needle, and after a few minutes, the bluish color on her face faded away.

Third Lady was still weak all over, but she had no problem speaking.

"The secret manual is under the right pillar under my bed, there's a hollow space inside, just reach in and take it."

Gao Xuan smiled at Third Lady and reached for the Deer Hide Gloves. He went under the bed to find the secret manual.

Sure enough, the hollow hiding the manual was lined with crisscrossing Poison Needles, and Gao Xuan's hand got pricked as soon as he reached in.

Luckily, he was wearing Deer Hide Gloves, and his reflexes were sharp. Sensing something wrong, he withdrew his hand.

Gao Xia took out the manual and flipped through it. Even with his Spiritual Power almost completely suppressed, he could still remember everything at a glance.

It's not mere photographic memory, but a multi-dimensional, multi-layered full record.

Including details like the texture and scent of the book, he could remember them all.

Whenever needed, Gao Xuan could recall this memory and access all related information.

The Golden Silk Palm has twenty-four styles, and the palm techniques are actually quite simple. The real complexity is the coordinating Qi circulation formulas.

Gao Xuan placed the manual in front of Third Lady, "Third Lady, I must trouble you for more guidance."

Third Lady glanced at Gao Xuan but said nothing. In such a rush, how much could Gao Xuan possibly learn? What would be the use of guiding him?

"How does one exert force in the Cloud-Piercing Style?"

Gao Xuan demonstrated the Cloud-Piercing Style, circulating his Inner Strength as described in the book.

Such a complex and exquisite Palm Technique is very challenging to master without ten or twenty years of practice.

The main difficulty lies in the technique involving various muscle and bone groups in the body. Just the movements have countless intricacies. Matching the movements with Inner Strength circulation makes it even more complex.

However, Gao Xuan is a Sword Dao unparalleled Grandmaster. Although the world's Law is different, the martial arts techniques are interconnected in human form.
