* Does not require the internal skills contained in the first half of the Nine Yin Manual.
* Then she plunged her hand into the poor wretch’s chest and withdrew the internal organs one by one, which she examined attentively in the moonlight. Afterwards she threw them on the ground. Even from a distance, the six could see that all the organs, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, had been completely destroyed. They now understood the intent of this practice: she had hit the body of this man with nine palm strokes and had succeeded in smashing the internal organs without breaking the bones of the skeleton. By examining the damaged internal organs, she could see the progression of her strength.
* Her bare hands, with which she tried to seize their weapons, appeared as efficient as claws made out of steel.
* In a fight between experts, the murderous strokes were often avoided by one or two inches. Nan Xiren had thought that the extension of his adversary’s arm had reached its extreme, yet it had stretched still farther!
* While training in the ‘Nine Yin White Bone Claws’ the spouses had, for about ten years, absorbed arsenic acid in small quantities regularly. They neutralized the toxic effects with their internal energy. Using this dangerous method was the only way that Chen Xuanfeng had found to increase their internal and external strength. With time, Mei had been partially immunized against poison; otherwise the poisoned projectiles of Ke Zhen’E would have killed her long ago.
* The front piece of Ouyang Ke's jacket was torn, his fan broken into two, and his four concubines collapsing to the ground. He took a quick look around and saw that all four women had been violently killed, their spirits left their bodies as soon as they were hit. The tops of their heads were covered in blood and brain matter gushed out of the five holes at the center. The swiftness and viciousness of the move was extremely rare.
* One day Zhou Botong was teaching the 'jiu yin shen zhua' [nine yin divine claw]; he instructed Guo Jing to use his ten fingers to practice against the stonewall. Guo Jing had practiced several times when suddenly he realized something. "Big Brother," he said, "I think Mei Chaofeng also trained this kind of martial art, only she practiced against human. She would insert her five fingers inside somebody's skull. It was very cruel." Zhou Botong was startled, "That's true," he thought, "Mei Chaofeng did not know the first volume, so she followed the instruction literally. The second volume only mentioned 'concentrate the energy on the five fingers, firmly attack the enemy's head.' She did not know that 'the enemy's head' means the enemy's vital point; not literally insert five fingers on the enemy's skull."
* It was fortunate that Mei Chaofeng was dead and therefore unable to unleash the 9 Yin White Bone Claw form, and that the fierce poison on her nails had dissipated with the exhaustion of her qi. Otherwise, this one claw would have been instantly fatal.
