According to records kept within the Hall, before the former Laureate Wei Renpu had entered office, he would often practice calligraphy late into the night beside the ink pond at Inkbound Order. When the wine in his cup ran dry and the pool's waters had not yet stilled, Wei was suddenly struck by an epiphany. He let his brush fly free, and from this, he unwittingly grasped a singular technique, one that resonated with the rhythm of ink. Its strokes of gold and iron wash away all vanity, painting the very shape of the world.\nYet certain scholars harbored doubts, for Wei possessed no extraordinary gift for the martial arts. How, then, could he have been enlightened so? Thus, some claimed that this technique was in truth left behind by a Champion of an earlier age, a mysterious figure rarely seen by any.\nAs times changed, this technique came to be kept by the Champion Xiao Heyi within the Essence Retreat, and few besides his disciple Lu Yicheng ever learned it. Yet the Twin Mavens warned their disciples never to reveal it before others, as though some old story lay behind it still.
