The Villain's Counterattack

What the hell is the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword? Huashan does have a set of Jade Maiden sword techniques, but what is the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword?

"This is a skill I obtained from the Quanzhen ruins in Zhongnan Mountain. It is said to have been created by a woman who was infatuated with Master Wang, the first generation leader of the Quanzhen Sect. It was created by a peerless genius whose skills were not inferior to Master Wang's."

"The Jade Maiden Sword is specifically designed to counter Quanzhen Swordsmanship. It may seem like love has turned to hate, but in reality, it's hiding her deepest emotions. These attacks point to your weaknesses, but aren't they also protecting yours? So, as long as the two of them are in tune with each other, one unleashing Quanzhen Swordsmanship while the other unleashes the Jade Maiden Swordsmanship, the combined power of the two swords is immense, rivaling the Big Dipper Formation."

Lin Pingzhi's words suddenly reminded Yue Buqun of the records in the sect's ancient books. It seemed that there was a passage like this: Was it really a coincidence that the Jade Girl Sword Technique appeared in the Huashan Sect?

"It's no accident that the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Art hasn't been passed down. It's because the Jade Maiden Art has very demanding requirements. A woman who practices the Jade Maiden Art must think and worry less in order to succeed. If she becomes preoccupied, she's prone to obsession. After achieving the Jade Maiden Art, she must find true love and connect with someone who practices Quanzhen Swordsmanship in order to practice the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Art. This requirement is completely contrary to the previous one."

"Although the Jade Girl Pure Heart Technique is powerful and can be practiced quickly, the conditions for practicing it are harsh. At least the Lin family can't do it." Lin Pingzhi shrugged, indicating that this thing is a little difficult.

Countless thoughts raced through Yue Buqun's mind. Wasn't the Jade Maiden Gong and Jade Maiden Swordsmanship what his junior sister was cultivating? Huashan Swordsmanship also evolved from the basic Quanzhen swordsmanship. Could he reverse engineer the Quanzhen swordsmanship and combine it with his own Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship? Even if it wasn't complete, even a fraction of its power would be good.

"Master Lin, do you have the complete set of Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique?" Yue Buqun asked casually.

"Although it is incomplete, it is basically complete." Lin Pingzhi's words made Yue Buqun overjoyed.

"I want to obtain this merit from Master Lin. I wonder what Master Lin wants?"

"Quanzhen Golden Goose Kung Fu, and the Taoist classics left by the Quanzhen Sect." Lin Pingzhi's request was unexpectedly small, which made Yue Buqun stunned and a little puzzled.

Lin Pingzhi shook his head slightly and said, "How many great masters have lost their legacy in the martial arts world? How many secret histories remain unknown? The Huashan Sect has been established for hundreds of years, and the Quanzhen Sect was once the greatest Taoist sect. The records within them are truly nothing special. Mr. Yue is truly begging for food while guarding a gold mine. If Mr. Yue finds any clues to the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Technique I obtained from the records of the Huashan Sect's ancestors, could he possibly dig it up in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Yue Buqun suddenly realized that this was indeed possible, but he had always ignored it. He was always trying to find the unique martial arts of the time and completely forgot about those more famous martial arts in history. This was really wrong.

However, the Huashan Sect originated from the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain. This kid has already been to Zhongnan Mountain and received relevant inheritance. Why does he still need to read these classics?

"Who said that the Huashan Sect's inheritance is only from the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain? Did Taoism exist before Huashan? What I'm looking for is possible clues about the ancestor Chen Tuan. I can't give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope. That's a technique that can increase your strength even when you're asleep. Don't you want it?" Lin Pingzhi rolled his eyes.

I do want to, but it’s hard to say whether this legendary kung fu actually exists, and the things you mentioned are all real, so, I changed it!

However, when teaching Lin Pingzhi the basic Huashan swordsmanship, a small dispute occurred.

"Mr. Yue, Huashan's basic swordsmanship is indeed very good, but why is there only a training method but no fighting method?" Lin Pingzhi's first suicidal mission today: the battle of Qi and sword.

"Mr. Lin, why do you say that? Huashan's basic swordsmanship is just like this. There is no difference between training methods and fighting methods." Yue Buqun suddenly remembered at this time that if Huashan's basic swordsmanship originated from Quanzhen swordsmanship, it would definitely not just be good-looking, it must be extremely powerful. But why has he never felt the power of the basic swordsmanship?

Could it be that what I learned was really just the training method and not the complete version that included the fighting method?

"Mr. Yue, this is a bit unfair. The Exorcism Sword Technique I taught Mr. Yue not only includes training methods for the moves, but also contains many instructions for fighting methods. However, Mr. Yue only taught me the training methods for the basic Huashan Sword Technique, and kept the more crucial fighting methods secret. Isn't this..."

The practice of the method must be standardized, but the fighting style must be flexible. But wouldn't that make you a sword master?

Is the Huashan Qi Sword dispute just a dispute over training methods and fighting styles?

Yue Buqun looked at the young man in front of him, his heart slightly moved, and he asked tentatively: "Master Lin, do you think internal strength or swordsmanship is more important?"

"Of course it's internal force." Lin Pingzhi responded without thinking, which made Yue Buqun feel at ease. However, his next words made him speechless.

"Internal strength is the foundation, the very basis. Internal strength can prolong life and is an evolution of the body. Swordsmanship is merely a killing technique. If you ask me, it would be best if everyone abandoned all forms of martial arts. That would bring more peace. Therefore, all forms of boxing, palm techniques, kicking techniques, sword techniques, etc., as long as they are not created for the purpose of increasing internal strength, are heretical and should be completely banned."

Yue Buqun was completely stunned, feeling that he had asked a very stupid question. "If that's the case, why did Master Lin still pursue this fighting method?"

"I want peace, but everyone else knows it. If I don't, I will be bullied. Two people with almost the same internal strength, one only knows how to practice, and the other is proficient in fighting after practicing, the former will definitely suffer, okay? Mr. Yue has the "Purple Cloud Divine Art", but he has also learned the Yangwu Sword Technique." Lin Pingzhi directly pointed the spearhead at Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun sighed inwardly, he had to learn, otherwise how could he protect the foundation of Huashan? If he followed the training and fighting methods described by this kid, wouldn't the Huashan Qi Sword Contest be a joke?

Perhaps the dispute over the Huashan Qi Sword was not a dispute over ideas at all, but a dispute over power factions. Yue Buqun was shocked when he thought of this.

It's a sin, a sin! How could I doubt my ancestors like this? The Qi Sect needs to learn swordsmanship, and the Sword Sect also needs to practice internal strength. If according to this kid's words, the Sword Sect disciples see the Qi Sect disciples practicing sword and say that they are Sword Sect disciples, then doesn't it mean that everyone in Huashan is a Sword Sect disciple, and even the leader himself is no exception.

But on the other hand, among all the disciples of the Sword Sect, which one does not practice internal energy? Are they also disciples of the Qi Sect?

Were the Sword Sect disciples back then really inferior to the Qi Sect disciples in terms of internal strength cultivation?

It seems that this is not entirely true.

The Qi Sword was just an excuse, and the conflict at Mount Hua was purely a factional fight?!

I understand, but who gave this excuse? And who initiated it?

Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the boy in front of him. It seemed that Lin Yuantu had contributed to this, or it should be said that it was the credit of the former Southern Shaolin Zen Master Duyuan.
