Xiao Long Nuu [explaining AncientTomb's training] said, “Yes! Let’s take a look.
The first step, you have to learn our sect’s skills. The second step is to learn the skills of Quan Zhen sect [left by WangChongYang to train himself during his tomb years]. The third step is to learn the skill that counters Quan Zhen sect’s skills, the [Jade Heart Manual]. When my master passed away, I was fourteen years old. I have learnt all our sect’s skills, and had just started to practise Quan Zhen’s martial arts;

Yang Guo was delighted and said, “That’s great. Even if Qiu Chu Ji, Hao Da Tong and the rest of their skills were higher, they could not be better than Wong Chong Yang. All you’ve got to do is practise the skills left by our ancestor and you’ll be able to beat all the Taoists.”
[...]
Xiao Long Nuu listened to the meaning of the song and said, “It does sound like the important aspects of practising Quan Zhen’s kung fu. If you know more, that’ll be great.”
So Yang Guo recited all the formulae that Zhao Zhi Jing had taught him. The formulae that Zhao Zhi Jing had taught him was the basics of Quan Zhen’s advanced internal energy cultivation, but because he wasn’t taught how to use it, the ‘spring flows’, ‘twelve palaces’ and ‘back intent’ were all words to him and didn’t understand, so he just remembered it and didn’t use it.

Xiao Long Nuu was more experienced and pointed out the key points, and then Yang Guo understood immediately.
Within a few months, the two managed to understand and grasp the essence [aside: as in essence of the innerPower training too, which YangGuo incorporates and] of the skills that Wong Chong Yang left on the ceiling.

If she fought with Yang Guo, she would know that although the stances [QZ sword stances] were real on the outside, underneath it was the Ancient Tomb’s kung fu [technique], but from it’s appearance, it was hard to distinguish between the two.
Yang Guo has learnt the Quan Zhen song [innerPower formula] from Zhao Zhi Jing, and practised it after [XLN interprets it], and so his Quan Zhen kung fu weren’t completely a fake. Lu Wu Shuang and Hong Ling Bo looked on, dazzled.

In the Quan Zhen sect, as soon as one has refined their kung fu to a high level, they will practise lightness kung fu so later on they will be able to use it when practising the [Big Dipper Formation]. Although Yang Guo is now using the steps of Quan Zhen’s kung fu, but his breathing and circulation are from the formulae of the [Jade Heart Manual]. The Ancient Tomb’s lightness kung fu was second to none in the world, as soon as he used it, the two skilled Beggar Clan fighters were not able to catch up, (--Aside: Yeah, YG is powered by JadeHeartManual. But another interpretation is that YG felt JadeHeartManual serves him better in this situation.)
[...]
Yang Guo has learnt Quan Zhen sword techniques in the Ancient Tomb so of course he knew the essence of the sword skills, but he just learnt it without really practising it, no matter what he would not be able to demonstrate this stance with such profoundness [as Ye Luu Qi]. (--Aside: Meaning, YG didnt respect QZ as much as he respect AncientTomb techniques when he was young; however, he did once he read 9Yin-derived counters from WangChongYang.)

Yang Guo saw that she [HR] was pale and couldn’t help from worrying, he felt her hand was slightly cold, he became bold and secretly circulated his chi and sent a warm energy from his hand into her. When he and Xiao Long Nuu was practising the [Jade Heart Manual] on mount Zhong Nan, he had become very fluent in this technique of passing energy through the palms, but he was afraid that his and Huang Rong’s internal energy will clash with each other so at the start he only sent a little, afterwards when he felt no resistance, he started to increase the energy.
Huang Rong felt the internal energy that he was passing on [to her] was soft and concentrated, it was very different to the internal energies of the Quan Zhen sect, but it was soft and fluid, it wasn’t below the skilled fighters of Quan Zhen, her body had a use for it and in a short while she felt the opposing chi and blood of hers became more fluent and comfortable, her cheeks glowed, she was surprised, “Where did the child learnt this advanced internal energy?” She smiled at him.
