Chapter 73: Lady Ning's Sorrow
"The internal force cultivated from the Sunflower Manual is extremely yang internal force, which is not suitable for you!"

Chu Yuan explained.

Seeing Qu Feiyan's unhappy expression, Chu Yuan said, "If you want to grow a full beard when you grow up, your voice to become as rough as a man's, and your chest to become bigger than your butt, I can pass this internal force to you."

In Qu Feiyan's mind, an image immediately emerged of a burly man with a full beard, a voice as rough as a man's, and a very strong body. He shuddered immediately.

"No, Master, I don't want it anymore. Please pass your inner strength to him."

Qu Feiyan kept shaking her head.

If she becomes like that, she might as well die.

This was of course just Chu Yuan's alarmist talk. The woman had internal yang energy in her body. Although it was not as severe as he said, it was true that it was bad for her health.

Chu Yuan was too lazy to explain to Qu Feiyan and could only use such words to scare Qu Feiyan.

"Pingzhi, come stand in front of me."

Seeing that Qu Feiyan had been persuaded, Chu Yuan waved to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi followed his instructions and walked in front of Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan said, "Turn around."

Lin Pingzhi did the same again, and Chu Yuan placed his right arm on Lin Pingzhi's back.

Lin Pingzhi immediately felt a warm current flowing along Chu Yuan's arm, into his body, and running around in his meridians.

It was the extreme yang internal force that Chu Yuan had just cultivated from practicing the "Sunflower Manual".

"Focus on yourself and try to see if you can control this inner force."

Chu Yuan's response to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi followed his instructions and after trying a few times, he replied, "Uncle Master, it's a little difficult, but I can control it..."

Chu Yuan asked Lin Pingzhi again: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel like you're burning with heat, or you're restless and restless?"

Lin Pingzhi carefully felt it and said, "No, except that my internal energy is not under my control and sometimes I can use it but sometimes I can't, I don't feel any discomfort."

Lin Pingzhi's words made Chu Yuan feel particularly satisfied. It seemed that he had successfully solved the BUG.

Since the recipient of the internal force was not a practitioner of the "Sunflower Manual", there was no burning sensation, fever, or restlessness.

"Consider this inner strength as a loan to you. Come to me once a month to claim it."

Chu Yuan withdrew his right hand from Lin Pingzhi's back and gave him a task.

"Uncle Master, then, does this inner strength belong to me?"

Lin Pingzhi felt the extra internal energy in his body, which was obviously much stronger than the internal energy as thin as a hair that he had just cultivated after a year of hard practice. He said with some joy.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Pingzhi also practiced the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" created by Chu Yuangang.

Instead of the later weakened "Xuanmen Gangqi".

Although he is not very old, as the great-grandson of Lin Yuantu, he is also from a martial arts family and has a sense of pride in his heart.

He was unwilling to leave the stronger "Jiuxiao Gangqi" uncultivated and instead practice the weakened and less difficult "Xuanmen Gangqi".

"You are dreaming. This inner strength is just lent to you by me. I will keep it with you temporarily. You can return it to me when I need it."

Chu Yuan glared at Lin Pingzhi when he heard this.

"All right!"

Lin Pingzhi said disappointedly.

He knew that being called over by his evil-hearted uncle would not bring any good things.

As expected, he was only used as a container to store internal energy, and there was no benefit at all.

Chu Yuan was afraid that Lin Pingzhi would be upset, and he didn't want to continue being the guinea pig and container for the experiment.

He immediately changed his expression, smiled amiably and said to Lin Pingzhi:
"Pingzhi, you have to think about it in a different way. Think about it, these internal forces are temporarily in your possession. Although they do not belong to you, you still possess them during the time they are in your possession. When you encounter an enemy, you can use these internal forces to fight him."

Lin Pingzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's right."

Then Chu Yuan made another promise to Lin Pingzhi: "Don't worry, Uncle Master won't let you help for nothing. When Uncle Master gets these internal forces back from you, Uncle Master will teach you the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique" that he created."

"Really, Uncle Master?"

Lin Pingzhi was delighted when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.

Last year, when he was at the Fuwei Escort Agency in his hometown, he saw with his own eyes how his uncle Chu Yuan defeated many powerful men from the Five Mountains Sword Sects, including the leaders of four sects, with his own creation, the "Tiandun Sword Technique".

When he was born, his grandfather Lin Yuantu had passed away many years ago.

He had never seen his grandfather Lin Yuantu, who dominated the martial arts world with his "Bixie Sword Technique", but he had seen Chu Yuan, alone with his sword, defeat many powerful men from the Five Mountains Sword Sects with his "Tiandun Sword Technique".

Therefore, in his heart, the "Tiandun Sword Technique" created by his uncle Chu Yuan is stronger than his own "Bixie Sword Technique".

What's more, both the "Bixie Sword Technique" and the "Sunflower Manual" of his own family require self-castration in order to practice.

If given a choice, who would be willing to give up practicing the "Tiandun Sword Technique" and instead practice the "Bi Xie Sword Technique" and "Sunflower Manual"?

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

Lin Pingzhi immediately assured: "Uncle Master, your extremely yang internal energy from practicing the Sunflower Manual can be stored in my body for as long as it takes."

Hearing what his nephew Lin Pingzhi said, Chu Yuan smiled slightly and thought to himself, "Have a handle on this."

"Master, I want to learn the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique that you taught me."

Qu Feiyan was standing nearby and felt very uncomfortable listening to what she heard.

She felt that her master was biased.

Obviously, she was the disciple of Master Chu Yuan, but compared to her, Master treated Lin Pingzhi much better than her.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to you too."

Chu Yuan heard the dissatisfaction in Qu Feiyan's words and said helplessly.

"But if you two want to learn the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, you need to lay a solid foundation in swordsmanship and practice the other sword techniques of the Qingcheng Sect first."

Chu Yuan continued.

There is no shortcut to swordsmanship. You need to start with the easy and then move on to the difficult, one step at a time.

You can't practice more advanced sword skills without knowing anything.

"Uncle, don't worry."

"I will work hard on my sword practice."

Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan said together.

Lin Pingzhi was sent away, and Qu Feiyan was allowed to continue practicing sword in the yard.

"It seems that over time, Lin Pingzhi has been trained to become the "Duan Yu" version of "Smiling Proudly"."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

Duan Yu's profound internal strength was obtained by absorbing the internal strength of others using the "Northern Divine Art".

Lin Pingzhi's internal strength was passed down to him through his own practice of "Sunflower Manual".

"If you want to fix the bug in the Sunflower Manual, it's not enough to just pass on the skills. You also have to solve the problem that practicing the Sunflower Manual will damage your meridians."

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

But this is not something that can be solved in a short time.

Chu Yuan could only try to modify the "Sunflower Manual" when he was asleep at night and in his dream state.

……

A branch of Qinling Mountains.

Huashan.

Siguo Cliff is located in the Qingming, and the sea of ​​clouds is within reach.

Yue Buqun, who had just returned from Qingcheng Mountain, was walking on the plank road leading to the Cliff of Repentance.

"I've been down the mountain for two months. I don't know if my junior sister has discovered it?"

After a long journey, Yue Buqun was in high spirits because he obtained the "Bixie Sword Manual" as he wished, so he didn't look tired at all.

However, when he took a torch and walked into the cave where the ten elders of the Demon Cult in Siguo Cliff were sleeping, he was eager to practice the "Bixie Sword Manual".

But he found that in the dark cave, there was a slim woman standing, looking distraught and like a ghost.

She had her back to him, so he couldn't see what she looked like, which scared Yue Buqun who was caught off guard.

Yue Buqun took a closer look and discovered that the person standing in the cave was his wife Ning Zhongze.

"Junior sister?"

Yue Buqun shouted in an uncertain tone. "Brother, you have been missing for two months. I have searched the entire Huashan Mountain but couldn't find any trace of you. Tell me honestly, did you secretly go to Qingcheng Mountain to exchange the Purple Cloud Divine Art for the Sword Manual of Exorcism with Chu Shaoxia?"

When Ning Zhongze heard his voice, he was shocked, turned around and said with a haggard look.

"Junior sister..."

Yue Buqun was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that he could hide it from his junior sister Ning Zhongze.

I didn’t expect that I was discovered by my junior sister not long after I came down the mountain.

"I clearly told my disciples to leave the food at the entrance of the cave at Siguo Cliff, saying that I was in seclusion and had not seen anyone during this period. How did Junior Sister find out that I had come down the mountain?"

Yue Buqun said after a moment of silence.

"Brother, you are very smart. Before you sneaked down the mountain, you specifically instructed that the food delivered should be placed at the entrance of the cave. You also found a disciple from your sect to go to the Cliff of Repentance on time every day to throw away the food. But you forgot to calculate one thing."

Ning Zhongze's eyes revealed seven parts sadness and three parts grief.

"What did I miss?"

Yue Buqun looked puzzled.

He originally thought that he had done it perfectly and could deceive everyone in the Huashan Sect, but he didn't expect that his junior sister would see through him.

"This is too abnormal. Brother, you just came back from Fuzhou City not long ago, and you announced that you would be in seclusion on the Cliff of Repentance, and you don't allow anyone to disturb you."

Ningzhong is the way.

Yue Buqun was helpless!
Yes!

No matter how perfectly he did the whole thing, he was bound to be discovered if his junior sister became suspicious of him.

After all, they had just returned from Fuzhou City, and he announced that he would go into seclusion in the Cliff of Repentance alone and would not meet anyone. This was really suspicious.

"Brother, did you get the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" from Young Hero Chu?"

Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun and asked.

"It's changed."

Yue Buqun looked away and did not meet Ning Zhongze's gaze.

He didn't deceive his junior sister either.

Because with my junior sister's intelligence, she must have guessed the answer.

"Can we not practice this "Sword Manual of Exorcism"?"

Ning Zhongze's eyes seemed to contain endless sorrow and resentment, and she spoke with pleading in her eyes.

"No."

Although Yue Buqun felt that practicing the "Bixie Sword Manual" was really unfair to his junior sister, he firmly shook his head and refused.

"Brother, why? We in Huashan Sect have our own 'Purple Cloud Divine Art'. Why don't you practice the 'Purple Cloud Divine Art' and insist on practicing this evil art that harms your body?"

Ning Zhongze was full of resentment, and she questioned her senior brother Yue Buqun.

"Junior sister!"

Looking at his resentful junior sister Ning Zhongze, Yue Buqun didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Then he lowered his head and explained: "Although the "Purple Cloud Divine Art" is good, it is the unique skill of our Huashan Qi Sect. It is very mysterious, but it lacks in power. After all, it is too ordinary. Nowadays, there are endless masters in the martial arts world, such as Dongfang Bubai, Zuo Lengchan, Chu Yuan... The sects behind two of them have grudges against our Huashan Sect. If our Huashan Sect does not have masters, how can we survive the upcoming battle..."

Ning Zhongze was silent for a moment and then said, "These are matters for the entire sect, and should not be borne by you alone, Senior Brother."

Yue Buqun said: "But Junior Sister, I am the head of Huashan Sect, and this is what I should consider."

Ning Zhongze said: "It seems that Senior Brother has decided to practice the "Sword Manual of Exorcism"?"

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "You must practice."

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze's forced calmness finally disappeared, as if he had broken through the limit of his emotions.

Tears appeared in her eyes, and she said, "If you ask me to choose between practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" and me and Shan'er!"

Yue Buqun has never been a person who would be swayed by emotions.

"Junior sister, when you are in the martial arts world, you have no choice. If I don't kill people, others will kill me. If I don't castrate myself to practice sword, others will do it. Now I have come to this point, trembling with fear, treading on thin ice. You want me to give up practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", this is asking for my life!"

Yue Buqun said.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ning Zhongze staggered when he heard that, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, saying the word "OK" three times in a row.

"So I asked you to give up practicing the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" in order to kill you, Senior Brother. It seems that the relationship between you and me since childhood is not as important as this "Sword Manual of Exorcism".

Ning Zhongze looked sad and desperate, like a cuckoo crying blood.

"Since you want to practice the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", then go ahead and practice it. From today on, you practice your sword skills, and I have nothing to do with you. We can just be a couple in name only."

After saying this, Ning Zhongze left angrily.

Yue Buqun looked at his junior sister's departing back, speechless for a long time. Then he took out the "Bixie Sword Manual" in his arms, which he had copied by himself.

"Junior sister, how can things in this world be as we wish?"

Yue Buqun muttered to himself.

Ah ~
Not long after, from the Siguo Cliff, a shrill scream echoed in the cave and lingered for a long time.

At the same time, outside the Cliff of Repentance, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a moon-white gown, left the Cliff of Repentance.

Like a flying bird, it only taps its toes and moves at high speed on the cliffs as if they were walking on flat ground.

"It's a pity that the Huashan Sect's hundreds of years of heritage has fallen into the hands of this person. He didn't practice the Huashan Sect's martial arts, but was willing to give up his wife and daughter in order to practice this self-destructive magic. It's really sad and lamentable..."

Between the mountains, there was a sound of wailing, which eventually disappeared without a trace.

……

Time flies and passes quickly.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Due to the huge construction project of the Qingcheng Sect's mountain gate, it took two full years before the newly built Jianfu Palace was finally completed and all the temples could be occupied.

Before Chu Yuan had the chance to move into Jianfu Palace, Bixu, Cuixia, and other senior red-robed temple masters sent people to his house several times to urge him to move in quickly.

It can be seen how big the pie Chu Yuan painted for them three years ago was, and these old Taoists actually believed it all.

Chu Yuan also felt that since the Jianfu Palace, the main gate of the Qingcheng Sect, had been expanded, it was time for him to move in.

After all, it was I who proposed the merger suggestion, and moving in myself would appear to be taking the lead.

"Master, we are moving to Jianfu Palace, what should we do with Songfeng Temple?"

In the small courtyard where Chu Yuan and his family lived, all the things that needed to be moved had been moved away. Qu Feiyan, who was already eight years old, packed her luggage, holding a bundle in her hand, and looked at the small courtyard, somewhat reluctantly.

She has lived here for three years. She grew up here and has developed feelings for the place.

"What can we do... just leave it there! Each Taoist temple will leave a small number of Taoists to guard it. We have to go to Jianfu Palace. Otherwise, if we are scattered together, we will not be considered as members of the same sect."

Chu Yuan didn't take anything but a few Taoist robes and some secret books.

"Right."

Qu Feiyan nodded.

She knew that her master was doing something big, and as his disciple, she couldn't hold him back.

Chu Yuan took Qu Feiyan out of the courtyard where they lived and came to the square where he practiced martial arts when he first arrived.

Memories of the past came to his mind, and before he knew it, he had been a student of the Qingcheng Sect for seventeen years.

In the square, there were a large number of ordinary disciples.

Hou Renying, Hong Renxiong, Yu Renhao, Luo Renjie, Yu Renyan, Lin Pingzhi...

These familiar disciples are all here.

"Uncle Master, let's go over there. Master has already moved to Jianfu Palace a few days ago."

Hou Renying said to Chu Yuan.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

Then Songfeng and his disciples, like ants moving house, carried large and small bags and went to Jianfu Palace at the foot of Zhangren Peak.
