The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 99: Jade Courtyard

Yue Buqun refused directly, "The Zixia Secret Manual is the unique martial arts of our Huashan Sect. If it is leaked out, I, Yue, will not be able to face the ancestors of the Huashan Sect."

"Really?" Mu Sheng stood up and walked in front of Yue Buqun.

"Is it because he can't face his ancestors because his unique secret manual has been leaked, or is it because the Huashan Sect has been annexed by Zuo Lengchan and he can't face his ancestors anymore?"

"This"

Yue Buqun was speechless for a moment. Could it be that he didn't know about the Zixia secret book that Mu Sheng was plotting?

After Yue Lingshan conveyed Mu Sheng's words to him, the first thing that came to his mind when thinking of the so-called treasure was the Zixia Secret Book.

Otherwise, what treasures could Yue Buqun have?
"Besides, with my current martial arts skills, the Zixia Secret Manual is just a reference for me."

"Mu Sheng has no sect or school, and he will not pass it on to others. It has no substantial impact on Huashan Sect. Instead, it was only after Sect Leader Yue obtained the Sword Manual of Exorcism that his martial arts improved greatly, and Huashan Sect was able to be saved."

"Master Yue, please think about it carefully."

After Mu Sheng finished speaking, he returned to the bed and sat down, while Yue Buqun stood there, his expression constantly changing.

for a long time
Yue Buqun's throat was a little dry, and he said in a hoarse voice:

"How can I be sure that this Sword Manual of Exorcism is useful? The threat from the Songshan Sect is imminent. If I cannot improve my martial arts in a short period of time, it will be useless to me."

Mu Sheng raised the cassock in his hand:

"The Sword Manual of Exorcism is right here, Master Yue, you can take a look at it first. But let me be frank. After Master Yue has read it, if this Sword Manual of Exorcism can really improve martial arts in a short period of time,

"Then we must show the Zixia Secret Book to Mu Sheng. Otherwise, it will take some time for the Songshan Sect to annex the Huashan Sect. The sword in Mu Sheng's hand can be unsheathed at any time!"

After Mu Sheng finished speaking, he threw the cassock in his hand onto the table and let Yue Buqun make his own choice.

Yue Buqun did not perform his facial expression change again. He stared at the cassock covered with tiny words for a while, then stretched out his hand with a determined look.

When he felt the silky touch of the robe in his hands, Yue Buqun's heart calmed down. He unfolded the robe and couldn't wait to look at it.

If you want to practice this skill, you must first retreat from the palace!
The eight big characters at the beginning were like a blow to the head, which stunned him instantly.

He suspected that Mu Sheng was playing a joke on him, but then he thought that the other party had no reason to do so, and he didn't seem to have the qualifications.

With this doubt in mind, I continued watching the film, and after finishing it, Yue Buqun felt even more uncomfortable.

The Book of the Sword of Exorcism can indeed improve his martial arts in a short period of time, but the price is a bit too high.

It would be fine if no one knew about it. I could just practice secretly and no one else would know.

But if I practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism now, at least I will have no dignity in front of Tingfeng Jian Mu Sheng. If I don’t practice the Zixia Secret Manual, won’t I give it to the other party for nothing?
"Master Yue, how about this Sword Manual of Exorcism? Maybe it can satisfy your requirements."

Looking at Mu Sheng's smiling face, Yue Buqun felt angry, but he didn't dare to show it, and said with some resentment.

"Young Master Mu is a bit unkind."

"Isn't this obvious? How can a method that can greatly improve martial arts in a short period of time be without a price? If not, Fuwei Escort Agency wouldn't have been without masters since Lin Yuantu."

Mu Sheng said confidently.

Yes, the Fuwei Escort Agency also knew about this, and Yue Buqun’s psychological burden was even heavier.

"Young Master Mu, the Zixia secret book is hidden in the Huashan Sect. Why don't you come to our Huashan Sect as a guest, so that Yue can present the secret book to you."

Whether to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism is another matter. If Mu Sheng can be invited to live in Huashan for a period of time, it will also be able to shock Zuo Lengchan.

"No need to go through so much trouble. Mu Sheng has a good memory. Master Yue can just repeat it to you."

"Young Master Mu, I am not trying to shirk my responsibility. The content of the Zixia Secret Manual is difficult to understand. I have practiced it for many years but still cannot fully understand it. The cultivation of internal strength is very difficult. If there are any omissions in the oral description, I will be blamed."

Yue Buqun continued to invite him, "Huashan has beautiful scenery and towering peaks. It is the best place to practice the Zixia Secret Manual. If Young Hero Mu wants to comprehend the Zixia Secret Manual, Huashan is the most suitable place."

Mu Sheng looked at Yue Buqun suspiciously. What was Old Yue trying to do?
He can't possibly want Feng Qingyang to deal with him. Not to mention whether Feng Qingyang can beat him, Lao Yue probably doesn't even know Feng Qingyang exists.

But that’s okay. It’s a good opportunity for me to see the Dugu Nine Swords and see if they are really that powerful.

"That's fine. There's no need to go with me. Your pace is too slow. I'll go there in a few months."

"Then I will take my leave. What about the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism?" Seeing that Mu Sheng agreed to go to Huashan, Yue Buqun's face finally looked better.

"If you want it, just take it. Don't be embarrassed, Sect Leader Yue. It's not shabby to practice martial arts!"

"Then thank you, Young Master Mu."

Yue Buqun showed an ugly smile, and felt even worse after being comforted by Mu Sheng. Then he bowed and left.

Yue Buqun returned to the Huashan Sect's residence in Liu Mansion with mixed feelings. He looked at the moon and pondered, not knowing what choice to make.

"Dad, what are you doing standing here?" A clear voice sounded from behind Yue Buqun.

"It's okay, Shan'er, why haven't you rested yet?" Yue Buqun collected his thoughts and said to his daughter.

"I'm taking a break now. I was just chatting with my senior brothers about what happened during the day. Dad, how come Tingfeng Jian doesn't look much older than me so powerful?" His performance in Fuzhou City that day was already exaggerated, and his performance in Liu's Mansion today was even more frightening. She had also heard of how powerful Songshan Taibao was.

“Maybe he is gifted.” Yue Buqun pondered and said, “Okay, Shan’er, go and have a rest.”

"Yes!" Yue Lingshan nodded and went to her room. After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around to ask:
"By the way, Daddy, what did that person ask you to exchange your treasure for? What treasure?"

What baby? Of course.
Yue Buqun suddenly thought of the contents of the Sword Manual of Exorcism. No wonder he felt that it was a bit wrong to use the word "treasure" to describe the Zixia Secret Book. So this is what it meant.

Who is it? Yue Buqun's cheeks twitched involuntarily.

A few days later, the people from Huashan Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Taishan Sect also left, and the Liu Mansion returned to its former tranquility.

just
In the backyard of Liu's residence, Mu Sheng looked at Yue Lingshan, who was squatting with Qu Feiyan, studying how to draw a circle with one hand and a square with the other, and felt a little confused.

When the Huashan Sect left, they did not take Yue Lingshan with them. In Old Yue's words, she was left as a guide for Mu Sheng so that he could take him to Huashan when the time came.

How could he not find such a huge Huashan? What is Lao Yue trying to do?
A month later, early in the morning, a chubby figure appeared in the backyard of Liu's mansion and walked straight towards Mu Sheng.

"Master Mu, Master Mu!"

"Zhengqi, what do you want from me?"

The person who came was Liu Zhengfeng’s cousin, Liu Zhengqi.

Since retiring from the underworld, Liu Zhengfeng has been concentrating on managing his family business. The Liu family's assets are not small, and they are considered to be wealthy in the local area.

With such a large industry, there are naturally many shady things going on. After Liu Zhengfeng intervened, he cleaned up some people and promoted some others.

Liu Zhengqi is one of them.

"Young Master Mu, a new group of prostitutes have arrived at the Qun Yu Yuan. Would you like to join them tonight?" Liu Zhengqi raised his eyebrows coquettishly, his tone hinting at something.

"Wow, wow, you are so good, Liu Zhengqi. You really live up to your name."

"Young Master Mu, what are you talking about? What's wrong with just going to listen to singing and dancing?" Liu Zhengqi asked with a simple face, as if he didn't understand what Mu Sheng meant.

"Are we really just going to listen to the singing and dancing?"

"Of course, I'm so righteous, how can I lie to you?" Liu Zhengqi patted his belly, causing ripples.

"Well, I definitely won't spend the night there," Mu Sheng stood up hesitantly.

"Don't stay overnight. We'll leave after listening to the singing and dancing."

Liu Zhengqi pulled Mu Sheng away. For some reason, although he didn't know any martial arts, he had great strength.

"That's what you said last time."

"The girl last time was so pitiful. Her mother died early, her father was a gambler, and she had several younger brothers who needed to be taken care of."

"Oh, that's true."

"."

Soon the sound faded away, leaving only an empty yard.

Night, Qun Yuyuan.

The new prostitute was indeed quite good, and was proficient in playing the piano and flute, singing and dancing.

"That Miss Wanjun just now was pretty good. Her voice was very ethereal and her high notes were very clear."

"Really? I didn't pay attention."

Mu Sheng was speechless when he saw the fat man touching the girl's hand with a coquettish look on his face.

"By the way, is Senior Liu busy recently?"

"this."

"What, is there anything you can't say?"

Liu Zheng angrily sent the girl away and whispered:

"In fact, it has something to do with your public punishment of the flower-stealing thief Tian Boguang that day. After all, the matter was quite a big deal, and it is said that it caused dissatisfaction among the prefects of Hengzhou Prefecture."

"I can't do anything to you. My cousin just quit society and started to run the family business, so he got in some trouble. Actually, I think he just wanted to make some money from this."

Liu Zheng rubbed his fingers together angrily: "If we don't take care of this, everything will be fine."

"Is that so? Who is this prefect?"

"Who is he? He's not that famous, just..."

Listening to Liu Zhengqi's story, Mu Sheng's smile became brighter.
