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

"The leader of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun!"

Chapter 61 The System Gets an Upgrade Again, and Luck Blesses Me

"Yue Buqun, the leader of a martial arts sect?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly, finding it difficult to connect the case with the Li Xiu case for the moment.

"Your Majesty may not know this, but although Yue Buqun is a man of the martial arts world, he is a gentleman with a heart for the country and its people. He should be considered a great hero of his generation!"

After I discovered that Li Xiu's case was related to the Giant Whale Gang, I secretly asked him to come forward and help.

After discovering that the Giant Whale Gang was colluding with Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, they not only led the Huashan disciples to wipe out the Giant Whale Gang, but also sent Li Tianhao to the capital.

He led the disciples of Mount Hua to eliminate all the forces in several coastal provinces that colluded with Japanese pirates, restoring stability to the coastal areas.

The provincial governors along the coast also mentioned this matter in their memorials, which have now been delivered to the Emperor.

Zhu Houzhao raised an eyebrow and ordered the eunuch beside him, "Find these memorials."

"Yes!"

Two eunuchs immediately stepped forward and rummaged through the thick stack of memorials, quickly selecting several to present to Zhu Houzhao.

He opened it and looked through it, a smile slowly spreading across his face: "Hahaha, just as I thought. I never imagined that even in this humble world, there would be such heroes who serve their country and its people."

The harassment by Japanese pirates had always been a persistent problem for the Ming Dynasty. Even when troops were sent to suppress them, it only provided temporary relief.

Once the storm passes, those Japanese pirates will come back with a vengeance, causing endless trouble.

Yue Zhuoqun's suppression of the Japanese pirates along the coast and the forces colluding with them was something the imperial court should have done.

"Since Yue Buqun has rendered meritorious service to the country and the people, and has assisted in capturing the culprit in the Li Xiu case, I will naturally reward him handsomely."

"I wonder what His Majesty intends to bestow upon him?"

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao said, "I hereby designate the Huashan Sect as the sole orthodox lineage of the Quanzhen School, and hereby appoint Yue Buqun as Grand Master of the Golden Purple Light, bestow upon him a silver seal, and entrust him with all affairs of the Daoist sect."

The court officials were all taken aback. Although the title of Grand Master of the Palace (金紫光禄大夫) did not have any real power, its meaning was quite extraordinary.

This title was once the official title of Zhang Tianshi of the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain, equivalent to a third-rank official in the imperial court.

As for leading all matters of the Daoist sect, there's more to it than that. In name, all matters of the Daoist sect will be managed by Yue Zhuoqun from now on.

The two main schools of Taoism are the Quanzhen School and the Zhengyi School, with Longhu Mountain being the leader of the Zhengyi School.

With this official title, the Huashan Sect, while unable to truly replace Longhu Mountain as the top sect, could at least stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

One is the officially certified leader of the Zhengyi School, and the other is the officially certified leader of the Quanzhen School.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this reward is not appropriate."

But no sooner had Zhu Houzhao finished speaking than Cao Zhengchun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Majesty, the Huashan Sect is a martial arts sect that does nothing but fight and kill. How can it be in charge of the affairs of the Taoist sect?"

If such an appointment were actually granted, those sects that truly practice Taoism would be dissatisfied.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu once bestowed upon Zhang Zhengchang, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the title of Celestial Master, to be in charge of all Taoist affairs under heaven forever, a position that has been passed down through generations ever since.

Wouldn't it be contradictory for Your Majesty to appoint Yue Buqun to oversee all affairs of the realm?

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Isn't Mount Hua a branch of the Quanzhen School? They only inherited the martial arts, but they don't have any people who truly cultivate the Tao?"

Zhang Haiduan immediately replied, "Of course, there are many enlightened masters in Mount Hua who are sincere in their pursuit of the Dao and do not care about worldly affairs. Headmaster Yue himself is also a highly accomplished Daoist. It's just that Mount Hua's prestige in the martial arts world is so great that it is easy for people to overlook it."

"That solves it!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "One is the Zhengyi sect, and the other is the Quanzhen sect. There is no conflict between them."

"If any Taoist sect is dissatisfied, they should do something great for the country and its people, just like the Huashan Sect, and I will reward them handsomely."

After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun had nothing more to say.

"Is there anything else to report?"

The ministers all shook their heads.

"In that case, let's adjourn the court!"

Zhu Wushi returned to the Dragon Guard Manor immediately after the court session. The main hall was empty, but he asked:

"When did Li Yuanhao arrive in the capital? Why didn't anyone report it?"

The next instant, a shadow appeared behind the barrier and whispered, "No one saw him enter the city gate; he must have been secretly smuggled in."

Zhu Wushi's face darkened: "Damn Yue Buqun, he actually ruined my grand plan!"

Although Zhang Haikou did not find out the real mastermind, Zhu Wushi knew that he had given himself away and was being watched.

"Lord Shenhou, should we send someone to deal with Yue Buqun?"

"Hmph, do you think he's so easy to deal with? Last time, even that old eunuch Cao Zhengchun got humiliated."

"But if we let it go unchecked, I'm afraid he might ruin the Marquis's grand plan."

Zhu Wushi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he finally revealed a cold smile: "The affairs of the martial world are settled in the martial world. Go to Shaolin and deliver a letter for me."

"Yes!"

……

Yue Zhuoqun sat on a chair in the inn, his eyes filled with barely suppressed joy, as the system voice kept ringing in his mind.

[Note: Martial arts are classified according to their power and mystery as follows: Lower, Middle, Upper, Mortal, Approaching the Dao, Entering the Dao...]

Skill fusion scrolls are categorized by rarity as follows: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced...

The beginner scroll can fuse up to five martial arts techniques. The quality of the martial arts techniques is not required. The highest level of the new martial arts technique fused together is the Transcendental level.

A mid-level scroll can fuse up to ten martial arts techniques. The minimum quality requirement for each technique is superior, and the maximum quality requirement for the fused new technique is near-Dao level.

Advanced scrolls can fuse up to ten martial arts techniques. The minimum quality requirement for each technique is Mortal, and the maximum quality requirement for the fused new technique is Entering the Dao.

The fusion gives rise to martial arts techniques, which can be fused a second time.

Suddenly, the attribute panel changed.

In fact, most of the changes are easy to explain and can be understood at a glance. Only the luck value aroused Yue Zhuoqun's curiosity.

"System, what is the purpose of this luck value?"

The ruler of a country who wields divine weapons can be blessed with good fortune; the leader of a religion who enjoys the offerings of his people can also be blessed with good fortune.

The host receives good fortune because the people erect a longevity tablet for him and offer him sacrifices.

Those blessed with good fortune possess the ability to ward off evil and draw closer to the Way of Heaven. Good fortune points can be used to purchase rare and valuable items in the shop.

Upon hearing this, Yue Zhuoqun immediately opened the system shop page and indeed saw a new category: Rare Treasures.

Toad: Valued at 20 Luck Points.

Lightning Sable: Worth 20 Luck Points.

Ice Silkworm: Value: 20 Luck Points.

……

The He Shi Bi jade: worth 500 luck points.

Chapter 62 Four Extremes Sword

Yue Zhuoqun opened the system store with great anticipation, then silently closed it.

Simply put, it's too expensive.

Just by looking at the data, you can tell that obtaining luck points is much more difficult than obtaining martial coins. If you want to buy a rare treasure, you might have to save up for a long time.

"Let's use the skill fusion scroll first!"

After a moment of contemplation, he added the Dugu Nine Swords, Heavy Sword Technique, Five Mountains Sword Technique, Yin-Yang Sword Technique, and Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, and clicked to combine them.
