The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

"Denuo's team is second, and Jiangning's team is third."

"Chong'er, Ning'er, you two come forward."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning stepped forward and stood still.

Yue Buqun took out two thin books from his bosom and handed them to Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning respectively, instructing them: "These are the manuals of the Zixia Divine Skill that I wrote down. After you two have read them, burn them to prevent them from being stolen by thieves. From now on, you must devote yourselves to cultivation and not be lazy."

"Yes, Master!"

Linghu Chong held the thin manual in both hands, his expression slightly excited.

Jiang Ning calmly accepted it.

Yue Buqun looked at Laudenuo's corpse on the ground and sighed.

"Although Deno is dead, I will keep my promise. After his body is buried, I will burn his part of the Zixia Divine Skill manual in front of his grave. If he knows this in the afterlife, he can rest in peace."

"Please accept my condolences, Master."

The other Huashan disciples chimed in.

Yue Buqun nodded and said to them, "You don't need to be disappointed. Although I didn't pass on the Zixia Divine Skill to you, I have decided to pass on the Hunyuan Skill to you. After you receive the skill, you must practice it diligently. Once your internal strength reaches the standard, I will also pass on the Zixia Divine Skill to you."

what?

The disciples of Mount Hua were stunned by Yue Buqun's words.

The Hunyuan Gong was already a superior skill within the sect, and they had never had the opportunity to learn it before. Only Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong were able to learn it. Now, Yue Buqun not only opened up the Hunyuan Gong to them in its entirety, but also made grand promises to them. How could they not be surprised?

Seeing the astonished looks on his disciples' faces, Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled, "Originally, I was going to teach you the Zixia Divine Skill right now, but to practice the Zixia Divine Skill, you need to have a certain foundation of internal strength. So you must first practice the Hunyuan Skill. Only after your internal strength reaches the standard can you practice the Zixia Divine Skill. So you must practice diligently and not disappoint your master."

"Yes, Master!"

"Master is wise!!!"

Lu Dayou, Gao Genming, and other disciples shouted loudly, their faces flushed.

They originally thought this had nothing to do with them, but they never expected that they would also have the opportunity to cultivate the sect's most treasured artifact.

Although Linghu Chong was somewhat surprised, he didn't react. He had obtained the Zixia Divine Skill before all his fellow disciples, so his martial arts progress was definitely faster than theirs.

He has made up his mind that he will not drink alcohol for a while, nor will he go down the mountain. He will devote himself entirely to the Zixia Divine Skill.

Seeing the thriving scene in the sect, Yue Buqun couldn't help but smile.

……

"drink!"

"what!"

At the Huashan martial arts training ground, a young man was practicing swordsmanship, while a boy watched his movements quietly from a distance.

After a while.

Lin Pingzhi sheathed his sword and bowed to Jiang Ning.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother, in practicing swordsmanship."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's alright."

Lin Pingzhi's swordsmanship had too many flaws before. After Jiang Ning saw this, he pointed it out a few times, and Lin Pingzhi practiced it again and it improved a lot. Lin Pingzhi was very grateful to Jiang Ning for explaining the swordsmanship to him.

"Lunch is almost ready, go and eat first."

Jiangning Road.

Lin Pingzhi nodded in agreement and then left.

Not long after, Yue Buqun appeared at the training ground. He looked at the open space in front of him, and after a moment, shook his head and said, "Pingzhi's talent is average. If he practices swordsmanship like this, it will probably take him a long time to learn all the sword techniques of my Huashan Sect."

In fact, Lin Pingzhi's talent was not bad, but with Jiang Ning around, Yue Buqun's judgment became more critical.

Jiang Ning watched Lin Pingzhi's receding figure and slowly said, "Some mediocre flowers need time to bloom."

Yue Buqun carefully considered the sentence and smiled, "You're right."

Jiang Ning's words reminded him of the Zixia Divine Skill of their Huashan Sect and the philosophy of their Qi Sect.

Three months have passed since the last anti-bandit operation, and now it is October, officially the beginning of autumn.

In the past three months, Yue Buqun has passed on the Hunyuan Gong, which is second only to the Zixia Divine Skill, as well as most of the improved Huashan Sword Techniques to the Huashan disciples. Now the overall strength of the Huashan Sect is steadily increasing.

The progress of Lu Dayou and his disciples is very encouraging. Most of them have mastered the sword techniques passed down by Yue Buqun, and their combat power is increasing rapidly.

However, progress in practicing Hunyuan Gong was slow.

This is normal, though. Swordsmanship can be mastered quickly, but there is no shortcut to internal energy cultivation. One can only cultivate step by step. Most disciples are still practicing the basic techniques of Hunyuan Gong, hovering on the edge of entering the field.

However, a small number of disciples have already entered the path, such as Ying Bailuo, Shu Qi, Yan Songnian, Gao Genming, and Qiao Jun, a total of five people.

They were able to be accepted into the Huashan Sect because of their exceptional talent; however, they had not had the opportunity to cultivate superior internal energy techniques before. Now that they have the Hunyuan Gong, their progress is the fastest among all the disciples.

Besides the five of them, Du Lanyin, Lin Pingzhi, Liang Fa, Tao Jun, and a few others are also close to becoming beginners.

Lin Pingzhi's talent can be described as either bad or exceptionally gifted. The fact that he was able to get ahead of other disciples and was about to master the Hunyuan Gong was not only due to his own hard work, but also because Jiang Ning often gave him guidance.

Linghu Chong had already obtained the manual of the Zixia Divine Skill, and Yue Buqun had also passed on the Huashan Sword Technique to him without reservation. During this time, he had worked very hard, and with Yue Buqun's personal guidance, his martial arts skills were also growing rapidly, and his internal strength had reached the top level of the second tier.

The overall strength of the Huashan Sect has changed dramatically since three months ago, which might be an exaggeration, but it is definitely not the same as before. Yue Buqun is also becoming more and more confident in dealing with Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy.

(PS: Another 10,000 words today!)

I've been writing 10,000 words every day for over a week now. I'm so diligent and proud!

Who can be more diligent than the author? Who else?!

Chapter 95: Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong

……

bamboo forest.

"Master."

Linghu Chong respectfully bowed to Yue Buqun.

This morning, Yue Buqun told him to wait in the bamboo forest. Linghu Chong didn't know why, but he still arrived early. After being exposed to the cold wind for half an hour, Yue Buqun finally arrived.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly and said, "Do you know why your master summoned you here today?"

Linghu Chong shook his head: "This disciple does not know."

Yue Buqun looked at him and said, "I am ready to pass on the complete Zixia Divine Skill to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Linghu Chong suddenly looked up, staring at Yue Buqun in disbelief.

"Master...this..."

Linghu Chong was shaken to his core, and his voice trembled slightly.

He didn't understand why Yue Buqun would suddenly do this.

Seeing his shocked expression, Yue Buqun said, "I have long had the idea of ​​passing on the Zixia Divine Skill to you. Your talent is not low, but your temperament is not stable and you neglect to practice. From your state of mind to your internal strength, you do not meet the requirements for practicing the Zixia Divine Skill."

Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, Linghu Chong lowered his head in shame.

He has indeed wasted too much time.

"but……"

Yue Buqun continued, "You have been practicing your skills quite diligently lately, and I suppose you have reached the standard for practicing the Zixia Divine Skill. Therefore, I am going to pass on the Zixia Divine Skill to you today."

After the initial shock, Linghu Chong was overjoyed and immediately knelt before Yue Buqun, loudly proclaiming, "Yes! Master, your disciple will certainly not disappoint you!"

"Okay, get up."

After Yue Buqun helped Linghu Chong to his feet, he said, "What I am about to say is the complete incantation of the Zixia Divine Skill. Listen carefully."

"Uh-huh."

Linghu Chong nodded vigorously, his expression excited.

Yue Buqun paused slightly and said, "Among the nine skills of Mount Hua, Zixia is the first. Zixia Divine Skill is the supreme divine skill of Mount Hua, a treasure of Taoism. After mastering it, one can be immune to swords and spears and is not afraid of being hit by sharp objects."

"All martial arts under heaven take the cultivation of internal energy as their foundation..."

“Abandon your four natures, return to gentleness and goodness, restrain your violence and cruelty, and cultivate your righteousness…”

Yue Buqun recited the incantation one line after another. At first, Linghu Chong listened attentively, but soon his eyes became somewhat vacant.

It wasn't that he lacked talent or comprehension, but rather that these incantations were too obscure and difficult to pronounce.

Yue Buqun, who was reciting the incantation, noticed Linghu Chong's embarrassment. His eyes flickered slightly, and he slowed down his pace, explaining the meaning of each incantation to Linghu Chong.

Yue Buqun explained things to him so patiently and meticulously that Linghu Chong felt a lump in his throat and his eyes reddened slightly the next second.

Although Yue Buqun had taught him incantations and sword techniques before, he was never as patient as he is now. Every time he found that Yue Buqun did not understand, he would sternly scold him for not working hard enough. He had never been like this before.

"Ok?"

Yue Buqun, who was explaining the Zixia Divine Skill, noticed Linghu Chong's expression, stopped explaining, and asked, "What's wrong?"

His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of concern.

Linghu Chong choked up slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."

Seeing him say that, Yue Buqun didn't pay much attention, only reminding him, "Pay attention to your work."

Linghu Chong nodded vigorously.

Five days later.

bamboo forest.

"Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, keep your body from swaying, concentrate your mind and clear your mind of all distractions."

Linghu Chong was beginning to cultivate the Zixia Divine Skill as Yue Buqun had instructed.

Over the past five days, Yue Buqun has explained all the incantations of the Zixia Divine Skill, as well as how to cultivate it and some of the difficulties, to Linghu Chong in detail. Linghu Chong has grasped the concepts very quickly.

Yue Buqun stood not far in front of him, his expression indifferent, and said: "The problem with warriors lies in their violence, arrogance, cruelty, and treachery."

“Violence is being easily angered and impulsive, which will cause mental instability and disordered energy.”

"Pride is an arrogant and domineering nature, which leads to a restless and disordered mind."

"Without any bottom line, one will lose all sense of righteousness and morality, which will lead to a loss of moral character."

"Thieves are ruthless and vicious; if they lack a sense of justice, they will go mad."

"This is a major taboo in cultivating the Purple Cloud Divine Skill."

“In the past, you have always been unpredictable and impulsive. I have been teaching you for so many years, but you have never taken it to heart. You are impulsive and easily angered when things happen, and you are controlled by your emotions, as if you have never heard the scriptures or met a teacher.”

"Unable to awaken, shutting out the sunlight, acting willfully and recklessly, constantly thinking, being disturbed by the nine evils of greed, anger, ignorance, killing, stealing, harsh words, gossip, divisive speech, false speech, and external worldly conditions, causing the six senses to move erratically, and suffering from this toil and toil."

"From now on, you must remember to guard against arrogance, violence, cruelty, and theft. Do not commit these offenses lightly, otherwise your mind will not return to its proper course. At best, you will go astray and become possessed by demons; at worst, you will die and your spiritual path will be destroyed."

Yue Buqun's words made Linghu Chong feel increasingly ashamed, especially after hearing that he had committed so many taboos. He was terrified and opened his mouth several times, but could not utter a single word.

However, Yue Buqun did not completely deny him. After saying these words, he added:

"I am now passing on the technique to you because I believe you have reached the standard for practicing the Zixia Divine Skill. From now on, you must be disciplined, uphold the righteous path, and never go astray."

Linghu Chong nodded in fear: "Yes, Master, I will remember."

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded.

During this period, Yue Buqun spent the most time with Linghu Chong, teaching him swordsmanship and explaining the swordsmanship and counter-attack techniques of the other Five Mountains Sword Sects.

He was both a teacher and a father to Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong, treating them equally without favoritism. In addition to the Innate Skill, Linghu Chong learned all the martial arts and sword techniques of the Huashan Sect.

Since Linghu Chong is working so hard now, he is willing to give Linghu Chong a chance.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

Another day passed, and Linghu Chong practiced his sword in the bamboo forest from dawn until nearly dusk. Yue Buqun watched over him the whole time, and it was only when it was almost dinner time that Yue Buqun stopped Linghu Chong's practice.

"Yes, Master."
