Chapter 674: Yue Buqun Eavesdrops
Yue Lingshan and Lao Denuo, who also knew the [Bixie Sword Technique] and had higher martial arts skills, saw more.

The mystery of the swordsmanship practiced by Li Lin lies not in the connection and subtle changes in the sword moves, nor in the sword-drawing techniques that are as fast as lightning and thunder, but in the speed.

All changes are byproducts of the increased sword speed.

The speed of the sword is so fast that the movements become deformed, and the recovery and change of moves also change.

In fact, if one only increases the speed of the sword while keeping the sword moves practiced mediocre, Li Lin can also do it with his attainments.

But this loss of control is the essence of this sword technique.

"【Bearing Evil Sword Technique】is a method of controlling and transcending the limits of the human body and adapting to changes extremely quickly." Li Lin sighed and slowly put away his sword.

Even at the end of the drill, he and the sword were just a shadow in everyone's eyes, merged into one.

Even though they were far away, everyone's faces were hurt by the wind created by the swords and the people.

But this is still not Li Lin's limit.

The same martial arts, due to different innate endowments, will display different power when practiced to the highest level.

The anti-gravity realm that Li Lin has achieved through practicing the [Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Magical Art] has surpassed the founder's imagination.

In the founder's imagination, this magical skill is nothing more than simulating the hollowness of bird bones, allowing Qi to flow through the bones to achieve the effect of lightening the body. Raising and circulating Qi is the way to practice and recover Qi, and the more you move, the more energetic you will feel.

And because it is as light as a feather, even if it flies on the common grass, its flying distance and height can reach a miraculous level.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Green-Winged Bat King of the Ming Cult achieved superb lightness skills by flying on the grass that was common in the streets. This was an achievement rarely seen in the world and even Zhang Sanfeng was impressed by it.

But his lightness skill is more due to his natural talent.

Li Lin suspected that the founder of [He Li Jiu Xiao Sheng Gong] had a similar physique and came up with this magical skill through researching himself.

"It's not about using techniques to increase the speed of the sword, but the sword speed must come first. Only then will the techniques and the connection between the sword moves appear exquisite. This is a sword technique that is mainly based on Qi." Li Lin finally concluded.

Li Lin suddenly felt that the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra", which mainly improves luck and attack speed, is very suitable for this sword technique.

【Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword】 achieves the invincibility described in the narration through the sword moves that complement each other perfectly and the two practitioners' extremely fast response and attack speeds.

This is actually a very smart approach.

In the martial arts world, since all the people are mortal, they use swords and internal energy to improve their speed of attack and luck.

Even if you encounter a practitioner of a rare body-protecting skill like the [Indestructible Golden Body], you can easily escape with your more advanced lightness skills.

No wonder Dongfang Bubai, a character of the same type, is recognized as the best in terms of expressiveness and narration in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

"Is it because we don't have the corresponding internal skills?" On the other side, Lin Pingzhi reacted.

But the next moment, he looked sad.

To most people in the martial arts world who practice external martial arts, the inner skills and mental methods are just legendary things.

Even in their family, what they practiced could not be considered as true internal energy, but only as breathing techniques.

"External strength is not necessarily weaker than internal strength," said Li Lin.

Although this era is the end of martial arts compared to previous eras.

But it’s just that the upper limit is low.

Martial arts are always improving.

The [Yi Jin Jing] has been simplified and is easy to get started with. It no longer requires the conditions of [no self, no sentient beings].

During the Song Dynasty, only martial arts masters like the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan (who can't compare with Quanzhen, and can even fight against the Black Wind Twins from Peach Blossom Island) could enter the martial arts world, and the threshold for entry had been lowered.

The external skills of this era have essentially progressed to the point where they are no different from the internal skills, the only difference being that one is static and the other is dynamic. They are not limited to just moves - fighting techniques, but also have corresponding training methods.

Just looking at the moves, not to mention a sword-fighting genius like Linghu Chong, even Yue Lingshan could imitate a few after seeing them.

The real secret of every sword technique lies in its practice method, how to breathe, how to practice qi, and how to use strength.

It’s just that all the Five Mountains Sword Sects have internal skills, but most of them don’t follow this path, and focus more on how to use strength.

Those who take this path will not rely on the internal energy developed through basic sword techniques.

It is more difficult to practice, but the quality of internal energy is comparable to that of external skills [Hunyuan Gong].

Of course, Huashan is an exception. The external skills in the early stage were indeed too fast, and the internal energy trained in this way is more in line with swordsmanship.

This is the underlying logic behind why the Huashan Sect split up due to the difference between sword and qi, and why the absurd thing that happened today could be possible.

The political struggle caused by [Sunflower Manual] was just an inducement.

However, practicing sword can also increase internal energy.

However, this kind of internal energy is not as universal as the internal energy cultivated through static exercises. It is aimed at fighting enemies and is not so useful for healing wounds, expelling poisons, and lifting people.

Therefore, it is also commonly referred to as internal strength.

There are even more people practicing internal strength, and terms like internal energy, true energy, and internal force are all very rare.

"Huashan's [Hunyuan Palm] ([Hunyuan Palm] is also commonly known as [Hunyuan Gong], because practitioners of this Gong usually use swords against their enemies) and your Lin family's [Tianfan Palm] are such external skills."

"Practice internal strength through palm techniques."

"Through such top-level external skills, cultivating internal skills takes a long time and the effects are very slow, but there is no risk of going astray during practice, and once you have mastered it, it will be extremely powerful."

"If you cultivate both your inner and outer strength, when facing an enemy, every move you make will be naturally accompanied by your inner strength, and you will be able to defeat the enemy without him noticing."

"【Hunyuan Palm】?" "Is 【Fantian Palm】 so powerful?" Yue Lingshan and Lin Pingzhi exclaimed respectively.

The former was because her mother had practiced this extraordinary skill, but inexplicably gave it up and did not teach it to others. When she heard about it, she only knew about it by eavesdropping on her parents' conversation. It was said to be related to "sword something".

The latter couldn't believe it.

"Of course, [Turning Heaven Palm] is for training Qi, and [Silver Feather Arrow] is for use. This is the real smooth road that Lin Yuantu has laid out for future generations." Li Lin said, "But, Miss Yue, have you heard of [Hunyuan Palm]?"

"Your father regards everything in the Sword Sect as a scourge. This martial art is so naturally compatible with the Sword Sect's people, even if it is a Huashan ancestral inheritance, it should not be taught to the disciples."

"I eavesdropped." Yue Lingshan said, "So 'Sword Something' is the Sword Sect?"

"How strange! The correct way to practice martial arts is to develop both qigong and swordsmanship."

"Your father would definitely be angry if he heard this." Li Lin said with a smile, "Your words are close to evil."

Yue Buqun believes that to say that both are the master is to say that neither is the master.

Using Qi as the body and sword as the tool is the right way.

Qi is the master and sword is the follower; Qi is the guide and sword is the eyes.

"No way." Yue Lingshan was surprised.

Li Lin shook his head.

"Although your father never promoted the Qi Sect's theory, he even studied the Sword Sect's swordsmanship in private. He claimed that more than 20 masters were injured in one day because of a sudden plague attack. He tried to cover up the past and make sure that there would be no more Qi Sect and Sword Sect in Huashan."

"But he is an airbender after all."

"You guys practiced martial arts and were first taught the formula for breathing qi, starting with qigong, right or not?"

"Yes." Yue Lingshan nodded.

"That's right." Li Lin said, "In fact, it's not wrong to learn internal skills first. You can first find out the disciples who are good at practicing qigong." "But for those who haven't started for a long time, it's more appropriate to learn external skills first, practice internal strength, and then use this to start qigong, but he doesn't teach it this way."

"The only martial arts they teach are the common ones like the Jade-Breaking Fist and the Leopard Tail Kick."

"Although the Hun Yuan Gong, which is second only to the Zi Xia Gong, is also one of the Nine Huashan Gongs, it is ignored. The same is true for the second-best Bao Yuan Jin. They only teach the ordinary Huashan Heart Method to their disciples."

When there is only one basic Qi training method but countless sophisticated sword techniques, isn't this forcing the disciples onto the so-called evil path of the sword sect?
It would be strange if you could cultivate a powerful disciple in this way.

Linghu Chong, whose training except for swordsmanship was only at the level of an ordinary disciple, was able to fight with Tian Boguang, which showed that he was extremely talented.

He even had the nerve to tell Linghu Chong, who had defeated Ning Zhongze with a strange move, that this was an evil path, and told him that if he continued to study swordsmanship, he would be killed at the worst, or at the least, all his martial arts skills would be destroyed and he would be expelled from the sect.

“That’s not right. Daddy taught us how to use a powerful sword—” Yue Lingshan was about to retort, but realized that something was wrong.

"That's it. They insist on Qigong teachings, but they mainly teach their disciples swordsmanship." Li Lin said, "And they also require their disciples to practice swordsmanship in a rigid manner, one move at a time, and they are not allowed to mess up the order."

"The higher way of using it is regarded as an evil way."

"Little do they know that only Huashan believes this is an evil way. Wudang, Shaolin, and the other four Yue sword sects all attach equal importance to internal and external skills, and regard the smooth and flowing style of moves as a sign of successful practice and perfection."

The more Yue Lingshan listened, the more depressed she became.

Although her father never said this, this is what he taught them.

Moreover, among the Nine Huashan Skills, my father only mentioned Zixia, Eagle Snake Life and Death Fight, Anti-Liang Yi Sword Technique, Chaoyang Yiqi Sword, Jade Girl Nineteen Styles, and Yangwu Sword Technique. Among them, [Eagle Snake Life and Death Fight] and [Anti-Liang Yi Sword Technique] have been lost.

The more Laudenuo listened, the more excited he became.

With such a leader at Huashan, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of Songshan.

He began to hope that Yue Buqun could live longer and teach more disciples who could overwhelm others with force and use rigid sets of moves.

But the next moment, he became depressed again.

I was worried that what Li Lin said would be known by Yue Buqun.

If Yue Buqun returns to the right path, then
On a big tree not far away, Yue Buqun's breathing became disordered.

This was equivalent to stripping him of his outer clothes, exposing his underwear to everyone, especially since he noticed the excitement of undercover agent Laudeno.

He had always regarded the recovery of Huashan as his mission, but for a moment he actually began to doubt himself.

Yes, my junior sister is obviously more talented than me, so why should I let her switch to practicing the ordinary [Huashan Heart Sutra]?
Even if I am worried that she will go astray in the Sword Sect, my junior sister and I are husband and wife, so why don't I teach her Zixia?

Even if we take our ancestral teachings into consideration, what about [Bao Yuan Jin]?

And although Chong'er prefers practicing sword, his internal strength has already been acquired enough to practice [Bao Yuan Jin], so why don't I teach him?

Our school of Qigong is different from other schools. As long as you practice diligently, you can make continuous progress even in your sleep.

What's wrong with letting Chong'er practice sword skills when he is awake?

Is it because Chong'er is better than I was when I was young?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
I am the right person, and only by putting Qi first can I be worthy of the sacrifices made by my master, brothers and fellow disciples!

Only I can recover Huashan!
The recovered Huashan can only be the Huashan dominated by Qi!

Yue Buqun quickly calmed himself down, and when he glanced at Li Lin, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

This kind of evil person who spreads evil words to confuse the people must be a member of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.

Because he arrived too late, he did not see Li Lin's martial arts.

Li Lin noticed the change in Yue Buqun, and his desire to have fun was instantly extinguished.

The reason he had the leisure to chat here just now was not just because he liked Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan was beautiful.

Damn it, I knew that people like Yue Buqun would refuse to admit they were wrong even if they knew they were wrong, and he was a stubborn person who had constructed his own logic.

"Do you want to tell your father?" Li Lin came up with another idea.

"Yes." Yue Lingshan nodded.

Laudeno was shocked, no, no!
The next moment, he had already thought of a plot to contact Songshan Sect on the way back to kill Yue Lingshan and clear himself of suspicion.

"You are too naive." Li Lin sneered, "This is no longer a question of who is right or wrong. It is a cruel political struggle."

"Even if it's just for the sake of your deceased grandfather, he won't change his flag."

"If you had said thirty years ago that practicing Qi and sword skills were equally important, I'm afraid you would have been sent to a mass grave by the Qi and Sword Sects in the evening just after you said it in the morning."

Yue Buqun nodded subconsciously and even smiled.

No, this kid is a demon from the Sun and Moon Sect.

The next moment, his smile froze.

"Then what should we do?" Yue Lingshan asked.

The murderous intent that Laudeno had suppressed with great difficulty burst out again.

"How to do it? Wait until he dies. Wait until all the people who witnessed the internal strife thirty years ago are dead." Li Lin shrugged, "But don't worry, it won't take too long. Don't you agree, Laudeno?"

Lao Denuo was struck by lightning, but the next moment, he nodded, "If this continues, Huashan will definitely be destroyed and belong to our Songshan."

"Songshan? What are you talking about, Second Brother?" Although Yue Lingshan was confused, she immediately drew her sword and pointed it at Lao Denuo.

"Little Junior Sister, don't worry. With this young master here, your life will not be in danger." Lao Denuo said, "I am indeed from Songshan. The Left Sect Leader sent me here as an undercover agent."

Yue Buqun frowned. Could it be that this monster was very skilled in martial arts?
Lao Denuo continued, "Sir, with Yue Buqun here at Huashan, it is doomed to decline."

"After the battle with the Sun Moon Sect, all of us Five Mountains Sword Sects have lost a lot of martial arts. My Songshan Sword Sect is even more incomplete."

"But Sect Leader Zuo worked hard to govern the sect. As soon as he took office, he gathered all the masters in the sect and asked them to write down the unique skills of Songshan that they had mastered. Then he sorted them out, eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, and sorted out Seventeen's Songshan Sword Technique, which made the Songshan Sword Technique glorious again."

"The Thirteen Guardians who are feared by the martial arts world were personally trained by Sect Leader Zuo. They are called brothers, but they are actually master and apprentice."

"How can Yue Buqun compare to him?"

Yue Buqun's face turned purple with anger, but what Lao Denuo said was the truth. He could only comfort himself by saying that Zuo Lengchan had evil ambitions and had fallen into the path of evil.

"You are wrong about this." Li Lin said.

Yue Buqun was overjoyed. Could it be that Zuo Lengchan was not that powerful?
Although he thought Li Lin was talking nonsense, he had already acknowledged in his heart that his words were accurate.

"Yue Buqun may die, but Huashan will not decline," said Li Lin.

"Does Huashan still have a trump card? Could it be that the Qi Sect members are not all dead? Are there still masters?" asked Lao Denuo.

The escort leader nearby had hinted to his young escort leader to leave for the tenth time, but Lin Pingzhi ignored him and was completely immersed in Li Lin's words.

Yue Buqun also pricked up his ears. If there really was a master uncle or a senior brother, why didn't they show up?
"Use your imagination. Why not the Sword Sect?" Li Lin said.

“Yes, Uncle Sword Sect Master is also from Huashan. If you want to take action in Songshan, they will not stand idly by!” Yue Lingshan finally felt relieved.

impossible!
How can the evil Sword Sect be able to defeat the righteous Qi Sect!

Yue Buqun's ears were buzzing and he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Li Lin finally smiled.
