He also improvised the "silent" Hong Lung Palms to take advantage of Mui Chiu Fung's blindness. Later, he devised a way to use the Cheun Jen Sect's Big Dipper 7 Stars Formation, which had been designed for use by seven people, all by himself. Finally, Gwok Jing was able to incorporate what he had learned from the 9 Yum Jen Ging into the Hong Lung 18 Palms, which made his version better in some ways than the version Hung 7 Gung taught him (particularly in the conservation and release of power).
