Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

It's just piracy!

Yue Zhuoqun silently complained.

The next instant, the prices of each item appeared below the items in the shop.

Hung Kuen, Baguazhang, and Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber are all worth 1 Martial Coin.

It was very cheap, but these were all common items in the martial arts world, so Yue Zhuoqun didn't like them and continued reading.

The Complete True Dao Song costs 30 martial coins, the Hunyuan Gong costs 40 martial coins, and the Zixia Divine Skill costs 50 martial coins.

Well, not bad.

Yi Jin Jing costs 500 martial coins, Jiu Yang Divine Skill costs 600 martial coins, and Bei Ming Divine Skill costs 1000 martial coins! ? ?

"No, why is the Yi Jin Jing ten times more expensive than the Zi Xia Divine Skill? Even if it's inferior, it shouldn't be this much worse!"

[The cultivation techniques already acquired by the host will be automatically discounted in the shop!]

"Damn, I've already obtained them, do I still need to buy them from the store? You're not worried that if I buy all the cultivation techniques, you won't have anything to reward me with, are you?!"

There was silence in response to him.

"Um, the Purple Cloud Divine Skill wasn't obtained through the system. If I use it to exchange for martial coins, how many can I get?"

【25! 】

Damn it, what a swindler!

Chapter 15 The three-year period has arrived

Yue Zhuoqun eventually exchanged his Huashan Sect martial arts and the martial arts he found in the Siguo Cliff cave for 200 martial coins, and used 100 martial coins to exchange for the recipe for the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill.

Buying a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill directly from the store costs five martial coins, which he considers too expensive.

The Huashan Sect has a medicinal herb business, so once they have the recipes, they can refine the pills themselves.

The Lesser Rejuvenating Pill is a miraculous elixir developed by Shaolin Temple, with the extraordinary effect of increasing one's martial arts skills.

However, all miraculous elixirs have certain limitations, and this Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is no exception.

Taking the first pill can increase one's power by five years. After that, the body will develop resistance. Taking the second pill can increase one's power by a maximum of two years. Taking the third pill will result in almost zero power increase.

After that, taking it only has the ordinary effects of healing wounds and quickly restoring internal energy.

The medicinal bath recipes previously awarded by the system were fine for laying a foundation for apprentices, but their effectiveness diminished after they developed internal energy.

The Lesser Rejuvenating Pill can continue to provide them with assistance.

However, the medicinal materials used to refine this Lesser Rejuvenation Pill are often snow lotus, ginseng, lingzhi, etc., and they require a certain number of years to mature.

Even though Mount Hua has its own medicinal herb business, it is difficult to support large-scale refining, so it can only be rewarded to outstanding disciples.

Yue Zhuoqun spent another fifty martial coins to purchase the Gentleman's Sword and the Lady's Sword.

The two swords have the same design but different colors.

The Gentleman's Sword is entirely black, without any luster, with a rounded tip and blunt edges, yet the entire blade exudes a chilling aura and is exceptionally sharp.

The Lady's Sword is pure white, and although it is not dazzling, it gives people a pure and elegant feeling.

He can use the Gentleman's Sword himself, which is a perfect match for his name.

The Lady's Sword could be given as a gift to Ning Zhongze, as she is proficient in both the Jade Maiden Sword Technique and the Lady's Sword Technique, making it a suitable match.

Yue Zhuoqun did not make any further purchases after that.

There are many good things in the mall, but they are all too expensive, and I simply can't afford them.

From then on, the Huashan School entered a period of stable and rapid development.

……

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

The Huashan Sect, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively once again.

According to the rules set by Yue Zhuoqun for the Chuanwu Hall, apprentices must meet the following conditions in order to become formal disciples.

First: Three years of full study at the Traditional Martial Arts Academy;

Second: Meeting the performance targets during the period;

Third: The strength reaches a third-rate level;

Fourth: You must be at least fifteen years old.

If any of the above four requirements are not met, one will not be able to formally graduate from the Traditional Martial Arts School.

There will always be some people with poor aptitude, and Huashan can't possibly train them forever.

Those who are 18 years of age or older and have studied at the Martial Arts Hall for three years but are still unable to graduate are automatically classified as outer disciples and assigned to work in various industries under the Huashan Sect.

Over the past three years, Huashan's businesses have flourished under Xie Fenghuang's management, and the shops that had previously closed have gradually reopened.

They also established deep partnerships with many wealthy families like the Yang family of Fenglingdu, and even formed commercial collaborations with Shenjian Villa.

Although it hasn't reached the grand scale of the Sword Qi Competition, it's not far off. There are plenty of places to accommodate these outer disciples who don't meet the requirements.

Most of those who failed to graduate were not at a third-rate level in martial arts, which does not mean that their academic performance was poor.

After being taught by old masters for three years, they learned to read and write, and even achieved excellent results in some subjects, providing them with ample opportunities to showcase their talents.

These next few days are the days for the first batch of apprentices to graduate and take their exams.

The apprentices will be holding a grand martial arts competition, which will be attended and watched by high-ranking officials such as Yue Zhuoqun, Feng Buping, and Ning Zhongze.

Those who excel will not only learn the sect's advanced martial arts, but will also receive special rewards from the sect leader.

The sect leader and elders will also select the best to formally accept as disciples.

All the apprentices were excited and eager to show off their skills.

Huashan's formal disciples are divided into three categories based on their strength: registered disciples, ordinary disciples, and core disciples.

However, if one can become a disciple of the sect leader or elder, it means that one has the additional title of a personal disciple on top of one's basic identity, which is completely different.

The first five days were dedicated to internal assessments and competitions within the class.

During this process, it will be basically determined who will graduate successfully, who will continue to study in the Martial Arts Hall, and who will be classified as outer disciples and leave the sect.

One hundred people were ultimately selected from all the classes to compete in front of the sect leader and elders.

Many of the apprentices were under fifteen years old, so they definitely wouldn't be able to graduate.

However, as long as you are good enough, you are qualified to be one of the hundred.

Not graduating does not prevent them from winning awards or becoming disciples.

On the sixth day, the one hundred outstanding apprentices selected went to Huashan Square for the final competition.

On this day, the entire Huashan Mountain came.

Seven chairs were placed on the high platform.

Yue Zhuoqun sat in the very center, and his appearance hadn't changed much in the past three years.

He appears refined and easygoing, yet a sense of authority lies hidden within him.

Sitting on the right is Ning Zhongze, whose appearance is even more youthful than it was three years ago. Her skin is smooth and delicate, and she doesn't look like she's over thirty at all.

These are the changes that occurred in her body after she switched to practicing the Mingyu Gong.

Between Yue Zhuoqun and Ning Zhongze, a two-year-old boy sat upright on the ground, his appearance combining all the best features of the two.

He imitated Yue Zhuoqun, sitting upright like a little adult.

Her eyes were dark and bright, and her rosy little face was round and chubby, making you want to hug her and kiss her a few times.

This little boy is the result of Yue Zhuoqun and Ning Zhongze's two years of work, and his name is Yue Xuan.

To Yue Zhuoqun's left was Feng Qingyang, with white hair and a white beard.

Since the changes occurred in the Huashan Sect, he could no longer live in seclusion in the back mountains and often came down to observe the changes in the sect.

Yue Zhuoqun specially invited him to this competition as well.

Further to the sides are Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, Cong Buqi, and Xie Fenghuang.

Hua Shaokun was busy hosting the competition and couldn't sit and watch.

Once everyone had arrived, he began to announce:

"The assessment competition has officially begun. The first match is between Yue Lingshan and Zhao Zhong."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out all around.

"Junior Sister Ling Shan is going to be on stage in the very first match! This competition is going to be amazing!"

“However, Senior Brother Zhao Zhong is a veteran disciple of Mount Hua, and he is already nineteen years old. I’m afraid Junior Sister Ling Shan is no match for him.”

"That's not necessarily true. Junior Sister Ling Shan is the sect leader's daughter after all; she must have some formidable abilities."

Yue Lingshan and a young man walked into the arena.

The little girl has grown into a beautiful young woman, looking like a jade maiden from afar.
