Chapter 276 A Small Comparison
In this way, the two parties reached a deal.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I come here to feed the chickens and ducks every day, but I may not have time to roast chicken every time. If you want to eat chickens and ducks, you can catch them yourself and help me feed them. If there are fewer chickens and ducks, I will buy chicken and ducklings to continue raising them."

Granny Sun was moved when she heard this. They lived in an ancient tomb, and the food was not rich. It was inconvenient to go down the mountain every time to buy some oil, salt, bacon, etc., or to hunt some game in the mountain. It would be great if they could have chickens and ducks to eat at any time.

Granny Sun nodded and said, "Then you don't have to come so often. I'll feed the chickens and ducks for you every day. You just need to replenish the rice and roast chickens and come back when you need them."

Xin Zhen was also happy to hear this. This really saved him a lot of effort, so he quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Grandma Sun."

Granny Sun's face immediately changed and she said, "Remember, you are not allowed to enter the outer forest. Also, you are not allowed to bring anyone here. If you dare to bring anyone here, you will be taught a lesson and thrown out!"

Xin Zhen readily agreed. He had deliberately avoided the outer forest before, so he would not let others know if he ate the meat secretly, and he would not bring anyone else to eat it with him.

Xin Zhen was quite happy after solving the problem of the secret base. This place was close to Chongyang Palace. With his speed, it would only take him ten minutes to get there. If he went down the mountain, it would take at least two hours to go back and forth.

Although Yin Zhiping basically didn't care about him, it was okay once or twice, but if it happened too many times and Qiu Chuji found out, both he and Yin Zhiping would be in trouble.

Xin Zhen returned to Chongyang Palace and quickly washed up and then washed his clothes to prevent others from smelling the meat. You know, for people who don't eat meat, the smell of meat is too obvious.

On this day, the full moon in the twelfth lunar month, the disciples of the Seven Quanzhen Masters competed in martial arts separately, which was called the Small Competition.

The disciples were divided into seven groups. Ma Yu's disciples and grandchildren formed one group, and Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and other disciples and grandchildren formed another group each.

Although Tan Chuduan is dead, his disciples are still very popular.

Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji and others felt sorry for his early death and paid more attention to guiding his disciples. As a result, in the annual competition, the disciples of Zhang Zhenzi Tan were not inferior to the disciples of the other six sons.

This year, Chongyang Palace met with a disaster and Quanzhen Sect was nearly overthrown. Everyone in the sect thought that although Quanzhen Sect was known as the authentic martial arts sect in the world, there were many talented people from various schools and sects in the martial arts world, and this reputation was in jeopardy. Therefore, everyone practiced diligently and was more focused than before.

The Quanzhen Sect was founded by Wang Chongyang, who was the founder of the sect. Ma Yu and his seven disciples were his direct disciples and were the second generation.

Zhao Zhijing, Yin Zhiping, Cheng Yaojia and others were disciples of the Seven Sons and belonged to the third generation.

Xin Zhen and his generation are the fourth generation.

That afternoon, all of Qiu Chuji's followers gathered on an open field in the southeast corner to compete in martial arts and discuss art.

Qiu Chuji had the most disciples, so there were even more disciples in the fourth generation, totaling around 200 people.

The fourth generation disciples performed boxing, swords and guns, hidden weapons, or internal skills, and Qiu Chuji and others commented on them to determine the best.

Xin Zhen joined the sect the latest and was the last one to take the stage, so he had to go on stage last. He saw many young Taoist priests or laymen of similar age as himself who were proficient in martial arts and had their own specialties, and he watched with great interest.

Although the Quanzhen Sect did not have many top masters, it was strong as a whole. It just gradually declined because the Yuan court supported and suppressed Buddhism, not because there was no successor in martial arts.

The Quanzhen Sect's strength lies in its relatively complete training system. The small competition at hand and the big competition before New Year's Eve are measures to motivate the disciples.

The small competition and the big competition are different in scope. The small competition is an assessment and competition held by each of the seven branches, while the big competition is for each branch to select some outstanding disciples to compete.

Qiu Chuji waited until the fourth generation disciples had almost finished their practice, then he looked at Xin Zhen and shouted, "Yang Guo, come out." Xin Zhen hurried out and walked to Qiu Chuji's seat, bowed, and said, "Disciple Yang Guo, I pay my respects to the Grandmaster."

Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "What kind of Kung Fu are you going to practice?"

Xin Zhen's appearance immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. In the previous battle when Xin Zhen went to Mount Zhongnan, although Xin Zhen did not really take action to break the formation, many people were defeated by him and even more people lost face. Therefore, many people were paying attention to Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master taught me the Quanzhen sword technique, so I will practice it today."

Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "That's fine."

Xin Zhen then displayed his Quanzhen sword techniques one by one. After just a few moves, the entire audience fell silent.

Not to mention Li Zhichang and other three-generation disciples, even Qiu Chuji's expression changed a little.

Xin Zhen did not use the improved Quanzhen sword technique, but instead performed the original sword technique.

But in his hands, the subtleties and mysteries of the Quanzhen sword technique were fully displayed before their eyes. Not to mention Li Zhichang, Zhen Zhibing and others, even Qiu Chuji could see that even if he practiced on the field himself, he could not do better than Xin Zhen.

Qiu Chuji even felt that his master Chongyang's swordsmanship seemed to have never reached this level!
Qiu Chuji asked Yin Zhiping in a low voice: "How long have you been teaching him this sword technique?"

Yin Zhiping smiled bitterly and said, "Just once. He learned it after just one look. Also, Master, he also made some improvements and added many ideas to the Quanzhen Sword Technique. I will demonstrate it to you later?"

Li Zhichang asked, "Adding a lot of ideas, do you mean improving the Quanzhen swordsmanship?"

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "That's right."

Zhen Zhibing asked in surprise: "Brother, do you mean that your disciple taught you swordsmanship?"

Yin Zhiping said calmly, "Yes, Guoer did spend three months teaching me this sword technique."

At this time, Xin Zhen finished his swordplay. Qiu Chuji praised him a few words and asked him to leave. Then he said, "Zhiping, Zhibing, you two will compete in the arena. Zhiping will use this improved Quanzhen swordplay."

Yin Zhiping whispered, "Master, do you want to dismiss the disciples?"

Qiu Chuji shook his head and said, "Just let them watch. It will be good for them to watch more masters fighting. It doesn't matter who wins or loses when you are fighting with your fellow disciples."

Yin Zhiping nodded.

Zhen Zhibing didn't care. In the past few years, among Qiu Chuji's disciples, Yin Zhiping was the best in martial arts, followed by Zhen Zhibing. However, in recent years, Yin Zhiping has devoted himself to the practice of inner alchemy and qigong, and his martial arts skills have become a little unfamiliar. Among the third-generation disciples, Zhen Zhibing believes that only Zhao Zhijing can compete with him.

When Yin Zhiping and Zhen Zhibing walked into the center of the field, many fourth-generation disciples immediately became excited.

Among the fourth generation disciples, they often discussed who was the strongest among the third generation disciples. Some thought that Zhao Zhijing was the strongest, some supported Zhen Zhibing, and some still thought that Yin Zhiping was the most powerful, but the discussion was endless and there was no conclusion.
