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

Yue Zhuoqun thought for a moment and then said:

"In addition to the family offspring of the shop managers, any children aged eight to fifteen from tenant households who are of good character and have a clean family background are all sent to the Huashan Martial Arts Academy for training."

Those who pass the assessment will have their rent for their households reduced accordingly.

If Mount Hua wants to revitalize itself, it will inevitably need to recruit a large number of disciples, and these children who are associated with Mount Hua are undoubtedly the best candidates.

"Yes!" Hua Shaokun and his wife exchanged a glance and nodded in response.

Yue Zhuoqun then explained some other questions in detail, and the discussion finally stopped after an hour.

"If there are no other problems, let's go back and implement it now!" Yue Zhuoqun smiled with satisfaction and gave the order.

At the same time, a system voice sounded in my mind:

[Ding! Rewards have been received for implementing development plans and improving the sect's structure...]

Chapter 4 The Secret Cave of the Cliff of Repentance

[Rewards: 50 Internal Energy Points, the Yi Jing Bone Forging Technique, and a Mastery Scroll.]

After seeing everyone off, Yue Zhuoqun arrived at the secret training room, unable to suppress the smile on his face any longer.

The rewards for implementing the plan are far more valuable than those for streamlining it. Not only did the internal strength points increase from 30 to 50, but the scroll also became a master-level item.

Of course, the most precious is the "Forging Bones" chapter of the I Ching.

This is not some common martial art; it is a chapter from the Nine Yin Manual, which can improve martial arts aptitude, solidify the foundation of martial arts, and accelerate the growth of internal energy.

In Yue Zhuoqun's view, this chapter is second only to the general outline in the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual, and even if taken out alone, it is not much inferior to the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

Moreover, this technique does not affect the main technique and can be practiced together with the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

After using the Mastery Scroll on the Yi Jing Bone Forging Chapter, one will instantly reach the Mastery level.

In just a few breaths, the body seemed to undergo a transformation.

Many previously uncultivated small meridians were opened up, solidifying the foundation, refining internal strength, and making the mind much clearer.

Even the operation of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill became much smoother.

I subconsciously opened the attribute panel, only to find that the information had changed to:

Name: Yue Zhuoqun

[Identity: Leader of the Huashan Sect]

[Internal Strength: 8373]

【功法：紫霞神功（精通0/1000）、易经锻骨篇（精通0/1000）、华山心法（精通530/1000）……

Martial Arts: Huashan Swordplay (Mastery 700/1000), Qingfeng Thirteen Styles (Mastery 0/1000)...

"The Zixia Divine Skill's proficiency has actually increased to mastery?"

Yue Zhuoqun was surprised. He could only say that it was indeed the Yi Jing Bone Forging Chapter, which made one mastery scroll have the effect of two.

……

Under Yue Zhuoqun's command, the entire Mount Hua sprang into action, transforming the previously dull landscape and giving it a vibrant, renewed feel.

Hua Shaokun led a group of disciples to select a large courtyard within the sect for renovation, which was then used as the location of the Martial Arts Hall.

Before the Sword Qi Competition, there were thousands of disciples from Mount Hua and countless rooms, but in recent years, due to the decline of the mountain, many rooms have become empty.

It only requires a little cleaning and repair.

The next day, Xie Fenghuang personally led a group of people down the mountain to reorganize the farmland and shops.

Ning Zhongze also chose a location for the scripture pavilion and gradually stored martial arts manuals and scriptures inside.

On the contrary, Yue Zhuoqun had some free time and was somewhat idle.

"That won't do. We need to think of something that can help develop the sect."

Developing your sect means advancing your missions, which will earn you system rewards; you can't afford to slack off.

Looking back at the plot of the book, he actually remembered something.

He went to the study, organized some things and stored them in the system space, and then headed alone towards the Cliff of Contemplation.

Siguo Cliff is located at the end of the Changkong Plank Road on the South Peak. The cliff top is over 100 meters in area, with cliffs on three sides and a mountain wall on one side. The terrain is not complicated. Feng Qingyang lived in seclusion in this area.

Yue Zhuoqun walked around several times but still couldn't find any trace of the other party.

Clearly, Feng Qingyang had no good impression of him, the sect leader who came from the Qi Sect, and was unwilling to show himself.

He wasn't disappointed, since he hadn't come for Feng Qingyang in the first place, and not showing up saved him some trouble.

Yue Zhuoqun tapped and knocked on the mountain wall, and soon a dull sound came out.

"right here!"

He activated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill and slammed his palm against the stone wall.

Boom!

The stone wall crumbled, revealing a cave.

Once the foul air had dissipated, Yue Zhuoqun slowly walked inside, took out a candle he had prepared beforehand, lit it, and illuminated the stone cave.

The ground was littered with corpses and weapons, and the stone walls were covered with inscriptions and pictures.

Decades ago, the Five Mountains Sword Sect challenged the ten elders of the Sun Moon Divine Sect to a duel here. Ultimately, they were no match for the Sun Moon Divine Sect and used a trap to seal them inside this stone cave.

The drawings depict the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the methods used by the Ten Elders of the Sun Moon Sect to break the Five Mountains Sword Techniques, and the Ten Elders' martial arts secrets.

This was precisely the purpose of Yue Zhuoqun's trip.

The top experts from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect were dispatched in that battle. They perished and many of their moves were lost afterward, but the stone wall records them in perfect order.

These martial arts techniques can greatly enrich the cultural heritage of Mount Hua.

Yue Zhuoqun took out paper and pen, sat cross-legged, and began to copy.

First, copy down the complete sword techniques of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, divide them into five volumes, and write the names on each volume.

Then there are the techniques for breaking the Five Mountains Swordplay, which are listed separately in a manual called the Record of Breaking the Five Mountains Swordplay.

Finally, the ten elders' unique skills were compiled into a secret manual, which included sword techniques, palm techniques, knife techniques, axe techniques, and so on. It was a wide variety of skills and was named the Ten Elders' Unique Skills.

It took a full five hours to organize all the content.

If these martial arts skills are passed on to the disciples of Mount Hua, then what will they have to fear from the other four mountains and the Sun Moon Sect in the future!

The opponent was completely countered the moment they made a move.

[Ding! Martial arts manual found for the sect. Reward: 50 Inner Strength Points, Martial Arts Techniques: Yin-Yang Swordplay, Eagle-Snake Life-or-Death Struggle, and Divine Transformation, and three Mastery Scrolls.]

As expected, the system's reward arrived in the next second, and it included three secret manuals at once.

The Yin-Yang Two-Form Sword Technique is a martial art that is used in combination.

The Zheng Liangyi Sword Technique was originally a unique skill of the Kunlun School. According to the principle of Taiji transforming into Yin and Yang, it is performed smoothly from the Zhen position to the Qian position.

The Reverse Yin-Yang Sword Technique is a unique skill of the Huashan School, executed against the flow of energy from the Qian position to the Zhen position.

Both martial arts have 64 variations, and can be performed by a single person or by two people in cooperation.

If the knife skills and sword skills are combined, the four people can work together to create 4,096 variations.

The overall formula of the Dugu Nine Swords is already quite complex, with only 360 variations.

It can be said that its complexity is unparalleled in the world.

However, this martial art is easy to learn but difficult to master; its upper limit is as high as its lower limit.

The Eagle and Snake Fight is also a martial art of Huashan, which emphasizes using the eagle and snake styles of boxing with both hands, and has a total of seventy-two forms.

Yue Zhuoqun strongly suspects that it evolved from the Seventy-Two Styles of Empty Fist and the Dual-Handed Fighting Technique.

It and the Reverse Yin-Yang Sword Technique are both listed among the Nine Skills of Mount Hua. Both have long been lost, so being rewarded by the system now can be considered a way to complete them.

As for the Divine Transformation, it is a set of light-body techniques that excels at moving left and right, somewhat similar to the Lingbo Steps, but of course, it is far less profound.

Yue Zhuoqun simply copied these three martial arts techniques onto paper and bound them into a book.

He drew his sword and destroyed all the patterns on the stone wall, then smiled with satisfaction and left the cave to descend the mountain.

Not long after Yue Zhuoqun left, a gentle breeze stirred, and Feng Qingyang, with his white hair and beard, appeared at the entrance of the stone cave.

He first frowned and sized up Yue Zhuoqun's back for a few moments, then slowly walked into the stone cave.

Looking at the destroyed stone wall, his eyebrows twitched, and he uttered a contemptuous sound: "Hmph! What a deep-seated, cunning little brat."

Chapter 5 The Nine Skills of Mount Hua

The library has been basically renovated in Ningzhong.

Five bookshelves are neatly arranged against the wall, holding nearly a thousand books.

However, there was only one bookshelf related to martial arts, containing dozens of martial arts manuals and hundreds of notes and experiences from predecessors.

The other four items were all miscellaneous books, such as Taoist scriptures and historical records.
