UGB Chapter 53 Linghu Chong Returns Amidst the Clouds and Mist
Chapter 53 Linghu Chong Returns Amidst the Clouds and Mist
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Left Alliance Leader's order spread far and wide, but it only caused a ripple in the Taishan Sect's mind.
Old Yue sent his disciple down the mountain to make a show of it, then he went for a walk and came back to diligently practice his martial arts.
The answer is that it's not easy to find demonic cult members. The confrontation between good and evil will last a long time, so we can't rush things. We should plan carefully before we act.
The Hengshan Sect consists entirely of nuns, and their martial arts are more defensive than offensive, making them unsuitable for charging into battle. In short, the reasons are quite valid.
As for the Hengshan Sect... the Songshan disciples who sent the message didn't even see Mo Da. Liu Zhengfeng had long intended to retire and rarely concerned himself with sect affairs. Only Lu Lianrong, the golden-eyed crow, was left running around doing his best.
If we're talking about honesty, then Master Tianmen of the Taishan Sect is the best example. Honest people always suffer a great loss...
Huashan Cliff of Contemplation.
After traveling around, Li Che returned to his "comfortable nest" and felt even more at peace than he had a few months ago. The gentle breeze on Mount Hua was even more refreshing and pleasant than outside.
A pure land nurtures a peaceful mind.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, as still as a rock and as serene as a sculpture.
A purple haze floated on her face, no longer a pale purple, but rather appearing in alternating shades. Her light blue outfit looked somewhat bulging, as if it were stuffed with cotton, and stuffed very evenly.
Li Che's mind had already returned to his Niwan Palace, entering a state of deep meditation, an exaggerated and unreasonable state.
He hadn't expected that he would have secluded himself to relax and perhaps research how to integrate the Five Sacred Mountains sword techniques to enrich the martial arts of Mount Hua.
Unexpectedly, things turned out quite well, and the Purple Cloud Divine Skill showed signs of a breakthrough.
But upon closer reflection, it's not surprising.
While techniques rely on comprehension, internal strength relies on accumulation. Since he began practicing the Zixia Divine Skill, Mr. Li has never stopped, meditating in the morning and practicing breathing exercises in the afternoon and evening.
As the old saying goes, you reap what you sow. After cultivating this mud ball and ice jade for so long, it is indeed time to reap the rewards.
Guide the Qi to the Dantian, pass through the perineum and coccyx, ascend along the Du meridian to Baihui, then turn to the Ren meridian and return to the Dantian.
This small circulation has been repeated more than twenty times.
The twelve meridians of the body are unobstructed, and the Qi entering the fingertips is no longer as swollen as when first practicing, but has a subtle tendency to emerge through the fingers.
Not only the fingers, but also the soft inner energy spreads throughout the body, like a soft armor of internal energy, soft yet not scattered, and strong when applied.
As the body circulated its energy, Li Che's purple complexion gradually stabilized, and the frequency of its changes in intensity decreased significantly, indicating that a breakthrough was imminent.
Feng Qingyang stood on a hilltop not far away, watching from afar as the internal strength of the Dugu disciple he had chosen improved again, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
When did the Zixia Divine Skill become so easy to learn?!
The old man subconsciously recalled the scene when he entered the Huashan sect decades ago. At that time, the conflict between sword qi was already brewing, and because of his outstanding talent, both sides wanted to take him as their disciple.
However, he was very determined to fight when he was young, and his personality was as sharp as a sword. He really couldn't wait 30 years to become famous in the martial arts world.
I still remember the heyday of Mount Hua, when the other four sacred mountains could not rival its might.
The elders of the sect once said that the Zixia Divine Skill is a top-notch internal skill, which originates from the Taoist principle of maintaining stillness and tranquility. It focuses on cultivating innate energy. If one reaches the highest level, not only will one's internal strength be unparalleled, but one can also prolong life.
Practicing this skill is also a way of training the mind.
Feng Qingyang glanced at Li Che again, and for a moment doubted what his elders had said. He thought to himself, "This cunning boy has made such rapid progress in the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, what kind of temperament has he developed?"
"Could it be that the old man is blind, or that this young man is hiding his true nature too well, and all he sees is the surface?"
After frowning and pondering for a moment, he muttered to himself, "He has no character whatsoever! But that brat's talent... is truly unreasonable!"
Another quarter of an hour passed.
After completing the thirty-six minor cycles, Li Che's body trembled slightly, his face covered in purple clouds, and at the same time, the ice jade in his Niwan Palace turned pale purple.
However, the purple color flashed by and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Li Che paid no attention to it. He had long since lost interest in this seemingly "golden finger" object, and the two had a relationship more like that of a landlord and tenant.
We wouldn't say we hate each other, but we don't bother each other either.
The morning glow on the horizon gradually faded, just like the purple haze on his face. A few scattered clouds dotted the sky, and today was another sunny day.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils flashing with a sharp light before turning back to their inner state. He slowly turned his head, but Feng Qingyang was no longer there.
He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. The old man was stubborn and ruthless, but he had been protecting him for nearly an hour. Li Che knew his care and concern.
After bowing, Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, quietly experiencing the dense internal energy of Zixia.
He had only practiced more than half of the booklet, but he already vaguely felt that his skill level was now almost the same as Old Yue's.
What happens when the Purple Cloud Divine Skill is mastered to its ultimate level?
Was the method that Lao Yue figured out on his own right or wrong?
He glanced at the mountain peaks not far away and suddenly remembered that the Five Divine Swords of Hengshan were created by his ancestors in response to the five peaks of Hengshan. He knew the sword moves, even more than the Hengshan disciples, but as Uncle Feng said, he had the moves but no intention, and it was always somewhat empty.
If I have the opportunity to appreciate the unique features of the five peaks of Hengshan Mountain in the future, I might gain some insights.
"Senior Brother Li—!"
Li Che looked up with a smile and saw Yue Lingshan already carrying a lunchbox and running up the cliff.
But when he reached him, he stopped and looked him up and down.
"What's wrong?"
Yue Lingshan shook her head. "I don't know. I just feel like you're a little different from yesterday, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Li Che sniffed, glanced at her, then at the lunchbox, "Junior Sister... the food seems a little different today."
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan lowered her head slightly, her face flushed with embarrassment, and insisted, "How is it different? It's the same every day. Senior Brother Li, please try some."
A moment later, Li Che glanced at the food in the bowl, then at her expectant eyes, and then at her slightly reddened tiger's mouth. He gritted his teeth and put the food into his mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Hmm, not bad. Cough~ I'm going to get some water."
After saying that, he got up and ran.
Yue Lingshan muttered to herself, "I just had porridge, why am I drinking water again...?"
Then the word "not bad" came to mind, and the corners of her mouth immediately turned up, filled with a mixture of shyness and joy. She suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth, which had been burned red by the spoon handle, had become much cooler.
After a while, Li Che burped and returned to the top of the cliff, chatting idly as usual.
"By the way, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother has returned to the mountain."
"Oh? It's been a month or so. Why has Senior Brother been gone for so long? Has something happened?"
"I'm not sure about that. But Xuejiabao has been supplying medicinal herbs to Huashan for many years. My parents said that his family had some connections with Huashan in the previous generation, so they offered very low prices for the herbs."
You know your eldest brother's temperament. I reckon he'd been cooped up on the mountain for too long, and Xuejiabao had kept him there several times before he finally got to have his fun and left.
Li Che nodded secretly, but then wondered if his senior brother had encountered the Four Beasts of Qingcheng this time.
"Senior Brother Li?"
"Huh? What did you just say, Junior Sister?"
"How much longer are you going to pretend to be injured?"
Li Che smiled upon hearing this, but then brought up another matter, "Junior Sister, go back and tell Senior Brother that Junior Brother Li has invited him to the Cliff of Contemplation... to discuss something."
"What's all this secrecy about? What could you possibly be up to?" Yue Lingshan muttered, then said "Okay," and turned to leave the Cliff of Contemplation.
