The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 76 Feng Qingyang: I owe that kid a favor

After the young disciple left the study, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze stayed inside for a long time.

In the dead of night, when he went to bed to rest, Yue Buqun sighed: "I have heard that these internal skills are often created by people who have comprehended the charm of the spirit. Now it seems that it is true."

Ning Zhongze was still a little upset, and asked with a smile: "Which is stronger, Xingchen's 'Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Art' or Zixia's Divine Art?"

Yue Buqun was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Although I want to say that the two are almost the same, but in fact, the Yin-Yang Yuanci Magic Art is indeed much better than the Zixia Magic Art."

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Ning Zhongze asked again: "Xingchen left me in the study at that time. Did he want both of us to learn his 'Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Divine Art'? In this case, what about Senior Brother's Zixia Divine Art?"

Yue Buqun smiled and said, “With the more powerful Yin-Yang Yuanci Magic Art, I can naturally put aside the Zixia Magic Art. If I hadn’t heard from Chong’er that Uncle Feng had already taught him the mental formula of Hunyuan Art, I would have been able to teach him the Zixia Magic Art!”

"As for the other disciples, they are still young and their internal strength is not strong enough. Forcing them to learn Zixia Magical Skill will only do more harm than good!"

Ever since he experienced the reconstruction after his mental breakdown in the stone chamber at the cliff of regret, many of Yue Buqun's ideas have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Many things are no longer obsessed
Many problems can be viewed with a more open mind.
At this time, when talking about switching to practicing other Qi-enhancing methods, he told everyone frankly without hiding anything.

In a newly opened cave.
Xu Xingchen placed a bag of grain in a small stone storage jar in the corner and covered it with a wooden lid.

He turned around and walked to the bonfire, re-lit it, looked at the bright and jumping flames, and felt the warm air spreading out. He felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

He didn't know why, but he liked the feeling of living in this stone cave better than staying in his own wooden house in the yard.

I occasionally think about this doubt and can't figure it out. In the end, I can only classify it as a behavioral phenomenon of "atavism".

This time when he went down the mountain, he handed over the "Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Magic Skill" to his master and his mistress, and proposed to teach the "Eight Huashan Skills" to other brothers. Everything was done to prepare for a rainy day.

Because he released Ren Woxing in advance and spread the news of Ren Woxing's return to the martial arts world in Luoyang City, Dongfang Bubai on the Black Wood Cliff was prepared.

In this case, Ren Woxing naturally would not take the huge risk to assassinate Dongfang Bubai.

As long as Dongfang Bubai is alive, the split of the Sun and Moon Sect will be inevitable.

When those old gang members who were being purged, persecuted and framed by Yang Lianting learned of the appearance of Ren Woxing, they seemed to have found a new spiritual support. They immediately defected to and gathered around Ren Woxing, forming a new faction to compete with Dongfang Bubai.

As a result, the conflict between the two forces became increasingly fierce and the scope of influence became wider and wider.
This situation is much more complicated than the situation in the original world of the book.

In order to ensure that the Huashan Sect survives the turbulent times in the future, Xu Xingchen, one of the “behind-the-scenes driving forces”, has to increase his investment in the Huashan Sect and try every possible means to enhance the strength of everyone on Huashan!

Now, in the entire Huashan Sect, there are only four masters who can be considered as outstanding, namely Master Yue Buqun, Master's Wife Ning Zhongze, Senior Brother Linghu Chong, and himself.

As for the old and frail Uncle Feng, he has already retired to the mountains and left the world. He cannot be counted in the count. At most, he can be regarded as an invisible trump card that no one knows whether it will work or not!

As for the other brothers and sister Yue Lingshan, although they have made rapid progress during this period, they still need more time to practice if they want to develop strong combat capabilities that can stand on their own.

But now the world is in chaos and there is no more time left for them.

Xu Xingchen taught the Yin-Yang Yuanci Magical Skill to his master and his wife today. I believe that with more advanced martial arts, the master and his wife will no longer regard the "Eight Huashan Magical Skills" as important.
He could only hope for the power of the "Eight Huashan Skills" and the "Huashan Round Dance Sword Formation", so that several of his senior brothers and senior sister Yue Lingshan, under the protection of the four great masters of Huashan, could barely have the power to protect themselves.

After thinking it over, Xu Xingchen felt that there should be no loopholes in his idea, so he turned back to the stone bed, meditated for an hour, and then fell asleep.

A few days later, Linghu Chong came up the mountain carrying a food box and said with a smile, "Junior brother, Master has taught us a new set of exercises these past two days, called 'Huashan Eight-Section Brocade'. It can help us cultivate our internal strength in the form of external training. It is a little different from the Hunyuan Gong I practice, but I can feel its magic."

"I heard that this set of 'Huashan Eight-Section Brocade' was also developed by you, Junior Brother, a few years ago?"

"Junior brother, you are such a genius!"

When Xu Xingchen heard the name "Eight Brocade of Mount Hua", he was stunned. After listening to what his senior brother Linghu Chong said, how could he still not understand that his master and mistress must have felt that the name "Eight Brocade of Mount Hua" was too childish, so they changed it.

Afterwards, Linghu Chong took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Xu Xingchen, sighing and saying, "Master originally wanted to pass on this Zixia Magic Skill to me in the future, but now I have learned the Hunyuan Skill from Master Feng, so this Zixia Magic Skill is no longer useful to me. Now he asked me to pass it on to you, Junior Brother, probably because he wanted you to know a little more about his own magic skill."

Linghu Chong knew that his junior fellow apprentice had already created his own method of cultivating true Qi, so he would not misunderstand anything.

Xu Xingchen took the book and looked at the four big characters "Zixia Secret Book" on the cover. He couldn't help but laugh: "Big Brother, thank Master and Master's Wife for me." One morning.
On the open space of the Cliff of Repentance, Linghu Chong was practicing the "Eight Section Brocade of Mount Hua". His body was fluttering and playing like a bird, full of joy and natural fun.

Feng Qingyang appeared nearby at some point. Looking at Linghu Chong's playful figure, he frowned and thought to himself, "Is it the same set of moves again? Has that kid already taught it to Chong'er?"

After Linghu Chong finished his training, he saw Feng Qingyang and hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, saying with a smile, "Uncle Grandmaster, you are here!"

He knew that his Grand Master was a passive and introverted person, and that he would keep many things to himself and not reveal them, so he took the lead in saying, "Grand Master, what do you think of the Huashan Eight-Section Brocade that I just practiced?"

Feng Qingyang glanced at Linghu Chong and said, "Eight Sections of Huashan Brocade? I've never heard of it, nor have I seen it. Is it something your junior fellow apprentice created?"

Linghu Chong smiled and said, "Yes, it was created by Junior Brother a few years ago. Master originally wanted to list it as a secret martial arts that only the head of the sect can practice, just like Zixia Magical Art. However, the martial arts world has been turbulent in recent days, so in order to enhance the strength of our disciples, Master passed it down to us."

Feng Qingyang habitually sneered and said, "Oh, when did your master become so generous?"

Linghu Chong ignored this disrespectful remark towards his master as usual and continued, "Uncle Grandmaster, this set of Huashan Eight-Section Brocade, like the Hunyuan Gong, can promote the circulation of internal force from the outside to the inside. Practicing it together with the Huashan Heart Method can speed up the cultivation of internal force and make the internal force more lively and vibrant."

"Although my uncle Taishi has transformed my internal energy into true energy through the Hunyuan Gong, the foundation is still the Huashan Heart Method. Therefore, this set of Huashan Eight-Section Brocade is still of great use to me."

"Although it cannot speed up my cultivation of Hunyuan Zhenqi, it can make the Hunyuan Zhenqi in my body more energetic and more handy."

"Uncle Taishi, I will teach you now, and you can feel its effect yourself!"

Linghu Chong said a lot of things to himself, and then, without waiting for Feng Qingyang to respond, he began to practice Huashan Eight Section Brocade. While practicing, he explained some of the key points and secrets of it, as if he was afraid that Feng Qingyang would not learn it.

Feng Qingyang narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and just watched and listened quietly!

Huashan Eight-Section Brocade is extremely simple, and does not have many secrets. Feng Qingyang, who has a deep understanding of Huashan's inner skills, understands it as soon as he hears it and learns it as soon as he learns it.

After Linghu Chong finished explaining, he sneered and said, "Did you decide to teach me the Huashan Eight-Section Brocade on your own? Or was it your master's instruction?"

Linghu Chong grinned and said, "I asked a question at the time, but Master didn't say anything. He must have tacitly agreed!"

Feng Qingyang said coldly: "If this thing is really useful to me, I will learn it. I am not the kind of stubborn person who sticks to the rules!"

one day later
Feng Qingyang appeared on the Cliff of Repentance again and said to Linghu Chong, "The Eight-Section Brocade of Huashan is very good. If you keep practicing it, it will allow me to live a few more years."

Linghu Chong said happily, "It's great to be able to be of use to Grand Master Uncle!"

Feng Qingyang smiled for the first time, but soon returned to his usual indifference: "For this matter, I will not thank Yue Buqun. If I have to thank someone, it should be your junior brother. This time, I owe him a favor!"

Linghu Chong said: "If Junior Brother heard what Grand Master Uncle said, he would definitely be very happy."

Feng Qingyang did not respond, and continued: "Although both Hunyuan Gong and Hua Ba Duan Jin promote the circulation of Qi in the body from the outside to the inside, there are still differences."

"One is fast and the other is slow, one is hard and the other is soft, one is efficient and the other is natural."

"Isn't this a kind of practice that combines both yin and yang, hardness and softness?"

"So, you must persevere and not be partial to one over the other!"

After seeing Linghu Chong's solemn agreement, Feng Qingyang said quietly, "Those of your fellow disciples have learned the Eight-Section Brocade. Although they cannot quickly improve their internal strength in a short period of time, their combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."

Linghu Chong said quickly: "Uncle Grandmaster has a keen eye and can see things more clearly than anyone else!"

For the next three months, Huashan was peaceful and tranquil.

It was not until three months later that a group of uninvited guests broke the tranquility of the mountain.

"Brother Feng, this time when we go up the mountain, we have the support of our Songshan Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Taishan Sect. We will definitely make Yue Buqun give up his position to you."
