The great courtyard of He family was the oldest courtyard in the estate. Starting from this courtyard, and going through decades, He Wude established the He family estate in Tai Cang county, ultimately obtaining the status of one of the three most influential families in the county.

Therefore, this courtyard held a special position in the hearts of estate’s members.

After entering the courtyard and dismissing the servants, He Wude said in a low voice:

“Yiming, recount your experience with Hubin in detail.”

After a bit of thinking, He Yiming recounted his experiences and the course of the battle. However, the entire time, he a.s.serted that he only used the sixth level Rolling Boulder Fist. He didn’t mention the seventh layer of Internal Energy and didn’t even mention the sixth layer of Silk Palm. Of course, he didn’t conceal the strange technique employed by Hubin and took out the Splitting Mountain Thirty-Six Forms’ scripture.

He Wude accepted the book and opened it. He looked at it for a long time, while He Quanxin and He Yiming helplessly stood at the side, not daring to disturb He Wude’s thoughts.

After quite a while, He Wude closed the book. His eyes were faintly closed as he contemplated. Eventually, he let out a deep sigh and said:

“Sure enough, it’s what I expected. When this old man heard the news of that traitor injuring two sixth-layer children of Xu family, I had already guessed that this traitor must have learned a Xiantian battle skill scripture. And this is precisely one of the Xiantian battle skill scriptures.”

He Yiming, being somewhat astonished, asked:

“Grandfather, what is a Xiantian scripture?”

He Wude couldn’t help but laugh before he said:

“Yiming, you need not involve yourself with this stuff. After your Internal Energy attains the tenth layer, I will naturally let you know.”

He Yiming made a seemingly miserable sound of agreement. The tenth layer of Internal Energy was easier said than done. His eyes glanced at the scripture, and his lips parted. But he didn’t say anything in the end.

However, how could his Lord Father miss the small movements made by him. The former loudly laughed and said:

“Yiming, since this scripture was obtained by you, you naturally have the qualifications to cultivate it.”

He Yiming’s whole face was suddenly covered in smiles. The might of this skill, he only knew it too well. By employing this skill, Hubin was able to prevail over his battle skill corresponding to the sixth layer’s peak. Such an experience, which thoroughly toppled his previous knowledge, had allowed him to know the worth of such a battle skill with absolute clarity.

He Wude restrained his smiling expression and said earnestly:

“Yiming, just now, I saw that this scripture is a record of a metal-type technique known as Mountain Splitting Thirty-Six forms, three forms short. In our family, it only suits your cultivation.”

He Yiming looked at the scripture in astonishment and asked:

“Grandfather, this technique is missing three forms?”

“Correct. For some reason, the last three forms are not present.” He Wude regretfully sighed and continued:

“But you should not look down on this technique. In our Book Pavilion, this is unconditionally the best technique in terms of might. If it wasn’t a metal-type technique, I would have made all the suitable people to switch to this scripture.”

He Yiming was extremely glad in his mind. He promptly nodded while his eyes gleamed with joy and many other emotions.

He Wude’s tone suddenly turned strict as he said:

“Yiming, you may learn this technique. However, going by your current strength, you can only learn the first four forms.”

He Yiming started, before earnestly nodding:

“Grandfather, your grandson will keep it in mind.”

He Wude returned the scripture to He Yiming and said:

“It has been a long day for you. First, have some rest, and keep this scripture with you. After you’ve copied it down, hand it over to Quanxin.”

“Yes.” He Yiming respectfully took the scripture.

He Wude again spoke:

“In addition, the fact that you have obtained this scripture cannot be divulged outside. Aside from me or your first uncle, don’t let anybody else know about it.”

After a brief hesitation, He Yiming asked:

“In that case, what about father and third uncle?”
