Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 115 Qingcheng Sect

Shi Potian returned to the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan.

From afar, one could see the foot of the Jade Maiden Peak bustling with people, and groups of people from the martial arts world coming to visit the Huashan Sect.

After Yue Buqun became the leader of the Five Mountains, there were already countless people in the martial arts world who wanted to establish relationships with the Huashan Sect.

This is even more true today.

Unfortunately, Yue Buqun had a reputation for being approachable, humble and sociable, so he couldn't turn them away. He had to arrange for his disciples to wait at the foot of the Jade Maiden Peak to greet and see them off, and to treat everyone as well as possible.

As soon as Shi Potian approached, he was spotted by two Huashan disciples who were guarding the foot of the mountain. They shouted in surprise, "Big Brother! You're back!"

After this shout was uttered, everyone looked towards Shi Potian.

After a brief pause, these people rushed to surround Shi Potian, praising his martial arts skills, his ability to punish evil and promote good, and his chivalrous heart. All kinds of flattering words were heard.

Shi Potian had experienced this kind of situation many times during this period. While constantly expressing his gratitude for the compliment according to the martial arts etiquette taught by Yue Buqun, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the top of the mountain as if escaping.

Seeing that these people were still trying to chase Shi Potian up the mountain, the two Huashan disciples quickly blocked their way and finally made them stop after a long period of persuasion.

Shi Potian slowed down his pace again only after he got away from the crowd.

The scenery on the Jade Maiden Peak was no different from that of a year ago: steep mountains, lush trees, chirping birds, and gurgling water. The only difference was that the Huashan Sect's original four or five large white-walled houses had now been expanded into dozens of connected attic courtyards.

As we got closer, we could hear the clanging sounds of weapons.

Following the sound, I saw Huashan disciples practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field.

The martial arts arena has been expanded several times, and the number of Huashan disciples has also increased several times.

Yue Lingshan, Lu Dayou, Liang Fa and even Lin Pingzhi also began to take on the responsibility of teaching the new disciples swordsmanship on behalf of their master.

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Xiao Huang rushed out from Huashan Sect, pounced on Shi Potian, and licked him wildly.

"Big Brother?! Big Brother!"

Yue Lingshan, Lu Dayou and others were overjoyed when they saw Shi Potian. They didn't bother to continue practicing sword skills and rushed towards Shi Potian.

Lu Dayou rushed to the front and came in front of Shi Potian. He deliberately made a surprised expression, bowed and shouted: "So you are the world's number one expert, the Demon-Slaying Sword Linghu! I have heard of you for a long time!"

The others looked at each other, and then imitated Lu Dayou, cupping their hands and shouting in unison: "Meeting the world's number one master, Master Linghu of the Demon-Slaying Sword!" As soon as the words fell, they could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were entertaining guests in the Zhengqi Hall. When they heard the noise outside, they apologized and walked out, scolding them: "What are you doing? Go practice swordplay! If you don't finish your homework today, you won't be allowed to eat!"

When his eyes fell on Shi Potian, they softened instantly, and he did not hide his affection for him: "Chong'er, you're back."

"Master, Master's Wife." Shi Potian bowed respectfully.

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Chong'er, come in with me." He led Shi Potian into the Zhengqi Hall and introduced him to the guests in the hall.

These guests had long heard of Shi Potian's name, and they also knew that Shi Potian had not returned to Huashan since killing Dongfang Bubai. After some flattery, they tactfully found an excuse and left.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze saw off the guests, then brought Shi Po to Yousuobuwei Pavilion and asked him about what had happened during this period.

Shi Potian recounted the entire story of how he and Qu Yang sneaked into the Black Wood Cliff, how they killed Dongfang Bubai, and how they made the members of the Demon Cult confess their crimes and were punished.

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze found it unbelievable and unimaginable to hear that Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the evil cult and once the best in the world, was willing to be Yang Lianting's wife and concubine, and devoted herself to staying in her boudoir playing the piano and embroidering, not wanting to care about any affairs in the martial arts world.

Yue Buqun sighed, "Fortunately, the devil Dongfang Bubai has gone insane, otherwise the martial arts world would have been in chaos in the past few years, and many more people would have died."

Shi Potian said: "Master, Dongfang Bubai is not crazy, he became like that because he practiced the Sunflower Manual."

Yue Buqun was shocked: "The Sunflower Manual?!"

Shi Potian nodded, took out the Sunflower Manual, handed it to Yue Buqun, and said, "The Sunflower Manual of our Huashan Sect was not lost, but was stolen by the Demon Sect. They regard the Sunflower Manual as the treasure of the sect, and all the sect leaders of the past generations have practiced it."

Yue Buqun almost instantly thought of the siege of Mount Hua by the ten elders of the Demon Cult more than ninety years ago, but he couldn't understand why Shi Potian said that Dongfang Bubai turned into a monster that was neither male nor female because of the "Sunflower Manual".

Yue Buqun opened the "Sunflower Manual" and just turned to the first page. His face suddenly changed. He couldn't believe his eyes: "Want to practice magic skills and castrate yourself? This... How is this possible!"

Ning Zhongze was also shocked: "What?!" He leaned forward to take a look, and was stunned with disbelief on his face.

Shi Potian explained hurriedly: "Master, Master's Wife, you don't need to castrate yourself to practice the Sunflower Manual. The Demon Cult only has the Sunflower Manual and lacks the Purple Cloud Secret Manual as a foundation, so they came up with the idea of ​​castrating oneself and taking elixirs to avoid going astray."

"They don't realize at all that this is an evil path, another form of obsession, which not only makes them neither male nor female, but also distorts their minds."

Ning Zhongze heard that it was not the "Sunflower Manual" that had a problem, but that the Demon Cult had practiced incorrectly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's it."

Yue Buqun asked: "Chong'er, have you mastered the Sunflower Manual?"

Shi Potian said: "No, I just watched it and haven't started practicing yet."

Yue Buqun was shocked: "Even you can't master the Sunflower Manual? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Shi Potian waved his hands and said, "No. I have already learned it, but I haven't started practicing it yet. The Sunflower Manual is the highest martial art of our Huashan Sect. I need Master's consent before I can practice it."

Yue Buqun was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing: "You kid... Chong'er, remember, you are the next generation leader of our Huashan Sect. You can make the decision on anything related to our Huashan Sect. If anything happens, your master will take care of it for you. You don't need to think too much. Do you understand?"

Ning Zhongze kept nodding his head, indicating that Yue Buqun was right.

Shi Potian nodded and said, "I understand."

Yue Buqun asked: "Since you have already understood the Sunflower Manual, you should know what effect it will have if you master it, right?"

Shi Potian hummed and said, "The Sunflower Manual refines the righteous energy between heaven and earth into one's own true energy. The process is very dangerous, but in the process, it will also make the practitioner's body, including physical strength and speed, become stronger and stronger." "After activating the sunflower true energy, the body can become several times stronger. Combined with the effect of Zixia magic to enhance the five senses and six consciousnesses, it can achieve the 'peak of perfection' written in the Zixia Secret Manual."

Yue Buqun frowned, thinking of the "Bixie Sword Manual" that he had burned earlier.

In his early years, he had heard Qingcheng Sect's Chang Qingzi and his master talk about the Pixie Sword Technique, and their evaluation of the Pixie Sword Technique was "The moves may seem ordinary, but they will suddenly become extremely fast, like a ghost or a spirit, making it difficult to defend against."

This is exactly the same as the situation after practicing the "Sunflower Manual", and the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" also requires castration to practice.

He was almost certain that there must be some connection between the "Sunflower Manual" and the "Bixie Sword Manual", and that the two might even be the same martial arts.

Yue Buqun thought: "Castration and taking elixirs are methods that the Demon Cult came up with in order to skip the prerequisite of the "Purple Cloud Secret Manual" and directly practice the "Sunflower Manual". Lin Yuantu could only have obtained the "Sunflower Manual" from the Demon Cult. Could he be a traitor to the Demon Cult? Did he steal the "Sunflower Manual" and change it into the "Sword Manual of Exorcism"? "

Just as he was about to read the contents behind the "Sunflower Manual", he heard Shi Potian say, "Master, if you want to practice the "Sunflower Manual", you need to practice the Purple Cloud Divine Art to perfection first. If your internal strength is not deep enough and your control over your true energy is not delicate enough, it will be easy to injure your meridians and dantian, and go astray."

Yue Buqun: "...I'll take a look first. I'm not in a hurry to practice."

Shi Potian advised: "Master, the martial arts recorded in the Sunflower Manual are very easy to fascinate people. Dongfang Bubai knew that Ren Woxing gave him the Sunflower Manual with bad intentions, but he still couldn't help but practice the martial arts in the Sunflower Manual. Master, you'd better not read it yet. It's better to wait until Zixia Magical Skill is fully developed before reading it."

Yue Buqun’s face turned dark.

This evil creature clearly didn't believe in his mental and mental concentration!
But after hesitating for a moment, he chose to listen to Shi Potian's words.

In other areas, he may not trust his disciple, but when it comes to martial arts, no one in this world has the right to question his disciple.

Yue Buqun knew this in his heart, but he was still irritated by this disciple who didn't know how to speak tactfully. He threw the "Sunflower Manual" to Shi Potian and said unhappily: "During this period of time, you should stay in the mountain and practice the "Sunflower Manual" in peace, and correct the parts that were tampered with by the demon sect monsters."

Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing could see that Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, Emei and other old and famous sects that followed behind them were using the Five Mountains Sword Sect as their pawns and only wanted the Five Mountains Sword Sect to be the vanguard in the fight against the Demon Sect.

Yue Buqun naturally knew this too.

However, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demon Cult have a deep hatred for each other. If they want to fight against the Demon Cult, they need the support of famous and upright sects such as Shaolin and Wudang.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects would have tacitly ignored the fact that the two leading righteous sects, Shaolin and Wudang, never had a head-on conflict with the evil sect.

But now, Shi Potian has killed Dongfang Bubai, destroyed the Demon Cult's headquarters, and crippled the martial arts of nearly two thousand elite members of the Demon Cult, directly defeating the Demon Cult.

Not only did the Five Mountains Sword Sect lose its function as a shield, but its influence in the martial arts world directly surpassed that of Shaolin and Wudang.

Shaolin and Wudang, the old and famous sects, would definitely not want to see this scene.

Even if the two sides can coexist peacefully for a short period of time, conflict will break out sooner or later.

Yue Buqun had long expected this day to come and was looking forward to it.

But he didn't expect that this day would come so soon that he hadn't made any preparations at all.

He held the Five Mountains Sword Meeting at the foot of the Black Wood Cliff to worship the ancestors of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, in large part to rally people's hearts.

As long as the Five Mountains Sword Sects can be united, plus Shi Potian, the best in the world.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect is another and more enhanced version of the Sun Moon Sect. Be it Shaolin or Wudang, no one dares to provoke them easily!

Yue Buqun thought so, but he became even more uneasy because of it.

Another Sun and Moon Cult!

Maybe Shaolin and Wudang, the old and famous sects, think the same way!

Moreover, unlike the Sun-Moon Sect, the Five Mountains Sword Sect formed an alliance in order to fight against the Sun-Moon Sect, and it is far easier to divide and win over than the Sun-Moon Sect!

Especially when the common enemy, the Sun and Moon Sect, no longer poses much of a threat!
Let’s not talk about the Songshan School.

The nuns of the Hengshan School have long been tired of the fighting in the martial arts world and may be persuaded to withdraw from the Five Mountains Alliance.

By then, the Five Mountains Alliance will no longer exist, and only the Huashan Sect will be left to bear everything!
Yue Buqun knew all this, but he could do nothing and could only passively wait for Shaolin and Wudang to make moves and counter them.

In order to avoid revealing too many flaws, Yue Buqun also went to the Cliff of Repentance once and implicitly told Feng Qingyang about his concerns, wanting to ask Feng Qingyang to come out and help Feng Buping and the others.

Compared to the Qi Sect who is right under his nose, the Sword Sect is more likely to have problems and be caught by others!

Feng Qingyang scoffed at Yue Buqun's worries, thinking that Yue Buqun was judging others by his own standards and he did not believe that Shaolin and Wudang would do such a thing.

However, as it was related to the Sword Sect's establishment of a new sect, Feng Qingyang finally agreed to it.

This is the first time I have left the back mountain of Mount Hua in twenty-six years.

Yue Buqun let Shi Potian stay in the mountain to practice the "Sunflower Manual" in peace, also in order not to give others the opportunity to attack Shi Potian.

Shi Potian didn't think so much. He took the "Sunflower Manual" back to the house, sat cross-legged and started practicing.

After Shi Potian left, Yue Buqun said to Ning Zhongze: "Junior sister, please help me pack my luggage. I need to go down the mountain."

Ning Zhongze also knew about the "Bixie Sword Manual" and said, "Brother, you are going to Fuzhou to find Lin Zhennan? Do you want Pingzhi to go with you?"

Yue Buqun shook his head and said, “No need. Lin Yuantu was unwilling to pass down the Exorcism Sword Technique, so it is unlikely that he would tell them these things.”

Ning Zhongze thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. He asked, "Then where are you going?"

Yue Buqun said calmly: "Qingcheng Mountain."

The Qingcheng Sect has coveted the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Manual" for many years, so they must know a lot!
Instead of wasting time on Lin Zhennan and his son, he might as well go to Qingcheng Sect to find the answer!
