Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 300: New series of tasks, check-in scenic spots
Yu Rui and Qi Jin didn't care much about the fact that Lu Ping remained silent about his master.

This kind of thing is inherently rude. Asking once or twice shows that you are truly curious and interested, but asking three or four times is very rude.

The few of them had a heated discussion about the differences between the East and South martial arts worlds, and before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of Chunyang Palace.

"Uncle Qi Jin, Uncle Yu Rui!"

"These two are..."

The disciple guarding the outermost sect inexplicably felt the same emotion as Shen Jianxin the first time he saw him.

It was a wonderful feeling, just like a domestic puppy suddenly seeing its owner bring another dog back from outside, feeling nervous, uneasy, melancholy, and a little relieved.

"They are guests visiting Chunyang Palace."

Yu Rui did not directly tell Lu Ping and the others about their origins, but just answered casually: "I will take them to see the head of the sect. You stay here and make sure to close the door."

"Yes!!"

When entering the mountain gate, Lu Ping noticed that there was something wrong with the look in Shen Jianxin's eyes when he looked at the Chunyang disciple, just like the look in Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's eyes when they saw Qin Shihuang on tour.

A real man should be like this, he can take his place...

After entering the main gate, before Lu Ping could see the faces inside clearly, the system's voice suddenly sounded -

[Activate hidden tasks and check in at scenic spots of various sects in Dongwulin (at least 10 for each sect)]

Hidden mission?

Sect’s scenic spots?
I'm familiar with this!
Lu Ping was delighted and became more determined to visit all the major sects in Eastern Wulin.

To check in at the scenic spots, start from the Chunyang Palace in front of you!
Coming to his senses, Lu Ping discovered that in front of him was a copper incense burner about two people tall, with the word "Chun Yang" written on the front and filled with incense sticks.

Passing the bronze furnace, passing through the Sanqing Hall and the Liangyi Gate, you can see a long staircase with a total of 108 steps.

The long ladder was built against the mountain. The bottom was made of stone, but the top was paved with wooden boards, and the handrails and roof were also built with wooden boards.

From top to bottom, the entire ladder is evenly divided into three sections, with a wooden corridor extending to the left and right in the middle. The corridors are winding and connected, with pavilions built at the end.

When it snows, it only takes half an hour for thick snowdrifts to accumulate here.

It happened to be snowing at that time. Under normal circumstances, there would be disciples responsible for cleaning the snow on the stone stairs, corridors, pavilions and towers.

However, today, because of the sword energy that Lu Ping had released earlier, everyone in Chunyang Palace was in a panic, fearing that some unscrupulous people from the martial arts world would come and cause trouble, so they temporarily stopped work and Shangguan Boyu was responsible for taking them to a safe place.

Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin followed Yu Rui and Qi Jin and climbed the ladder step by step.

"Although I have been here for a short time, I have heard that Chunyang Palace has many disciples, all of whom are talented and speak well. Why is it that when I see it today, it is so deserted?"

In fact, when Lu Ping was speaking, he had already heard the noise coming from the top of the long stairs.

Yu Rui naturally couldn't say openly at this moment, "Your sword energy has frightened our entire sect." After all, it was too embarrassing for the dignified Chunyang Palace to be frightened like a frightened bird by such a small noise and to hurriedly summon disciples to prepare for battle.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said, "Today, Chunyang Palace has another important matter, and all the disciples are gathered in Taiji Square at this time, so we didn't see many people along the way."

"Oh...something else?"

Lu Ping pretended to be surprised and couldn't help but joked: "Could it be that we are so lucky that we just happened to run into Lu Zu returning to the mountain and preaching here?"

"If that's the case, I have to go and listen to the lecture no matter what!"

Yu Rui smiled brightly upon hearing this, and without blushing or panting, he continued, "Young man, you are joking. Master has been traveling around the world, and his whereabouts are unknown. He has not returned to the mountain for decades."

"You two just happened to run into the sect's irregular martial arts training today."

Martial arts training...

Or irregularly...

Your excuse is quite original.

Shen Jianxin suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Chun Yang Palace's martial arts training?! It sounds so exciting! Can I go and see it?"

Unfortunately, his request was not granted.

"No, this is a martial arts performance inside Chunyang Palace, not open to the public."

Of course Yu Rui would not agree. If he really took them there, wouldn’t he be exposed immediately?

Of course Lu Ping saw through Yu Rui's thoughts, and said with a sly smile: "Shen Zi, forget it, since their sect has its own rules, we shouldn't force them to do anything."

However, Shen Jianxin obviously didn't buy it: "What are you talking about? Soon I will be a member of Chunyang Palace, and you are the only outsider here, right?"

Lu Ping's mouth twitched suddenly: "...you are crossing the river and destroying the bridge, right?"

Qi Jin, who was standing next to him, heard the conversation between Yu Rui and Lu Ping. His face remained expressionless, but he was already speechless in his heart. What the hell?

Does Chunyang Palace have irregular martial arts training?

I do not know how?
In response to his fourth senior sister Yu Rui's blatant lies, the True Man Zixu in front of him maintained his usual cold and stern appearance of not letting strangers approach him, without revealing the slightest flaw.

"Martial arts training... I think it must have been arranged by Master Li to let his disciples experience the mysteries of Pure Yang martial arts and encourage them to practice diligently. I wonder if the real masters are also among those participating in the martial arts training?"

After Lu Ping finished speaking, he did not wait for Rui to respond, but turned to look at Qi Jin.

"I heard that Master Zixu practices the Taixu Sword Intention, one of the two unique skills of the Chunyang Palace. He is also a well-known swordsman in the martial arts world, ranked ninth on the Earthly Ranking. I wonder if he will demonstrate his sword skills to his disciples today?"

Qi Jin did not directly respond to Lu Ping's question, but only replied vaguely: "Martial arts training has always been arranged by the head brother and sister Yu."

This statement was a disguised way of backing up Yu Rui's previous statement, admitting that the "martial arts performance" had taken place.

"..."

You people who practice Taoism practice to have a calm mind, is it just to avoid being discovered when you lie?

Lu Ping complained in his heart, but just nodded and said no more.

However, the four of them did not walk to the bottom, but separated at the second floor of the long ladder.

Qi Jin continued to walk up the long stairs.

Lu Ping guessed that he should go to report to Li Wangsheng about his and Shen Jianxin's coming here.

"You two, please follow me."

Yu Rui turned a corner and took Lu Ping and the other man to a reception room to sit down, then naturally made tea to entertain them.

The tea sets used were purple clay teapots and cups, and the tea used was the finest pre-rain Longjing tea. When Yu Rui was getting the tea, Lu Ping saw several large jars, which showed how rich the Chunyang Palace was.

The tea leaves taken out were dry and fragrant, and were obviously well preserved. Even in a place like Chunyang where it snows nine days out of ten, they were still not damp.

The three of them sat on the couch by the window in the room. Yu Rui made tea himself. His movements were skillful and elegant. It was obvious that he was an expert in this field and practiced it a lot in his daily life.

Soon the water boiled, and after rinsing it once, the aroma of tea filled the room.

Yu Rui poured the water twice more, and then gently and slowly poured out three cups of tea that were seven-tenths full.

The tea is crystal clear, with perfect color, without a single bubble on top, and is a delight to the eye.

Taste it again, it is refreshing and leaves a lasting aftertaste.

"Good tea, good tea art!" Lu Ping praised.

Although he is not as educated as Yu Rui and cannot say specifically what is good about it, it does not stop him from saying polite words.

"Thank you for your compliment, young man." Yu Rui was polite and modest.

Shen Jianxin didn't care about the occasion. After walking for a long way, he was already thirsty. He picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, blew some air randomly, then slurped and drank loudly.

“Sizzle… ah, hot, hot!!”

"Don't worry, young man..."

"Shen Zi, drink slowly. There are only three cups for three people. No one will snatch them from you..."

After the three of them had their tea, they got the topic back on track.

Shen Jianxin came here to become a disciple, there was nothing much to say about that, so Yu Rui still focused more on Lu Ping, this new character in the martial arts world.

"Young man, you just said that you want to visit the scenery on Mount Hua?"

"There is such a thing."

Yu Rui nodded and said, "Mt. Huashan is very steep. If an unfamiliar person gets lost, he will be unable to get out for a while. Even disciples in our sect often get lost in the mountains after three or five years of joining the sect."

"Besides, this place belongs to the Chunyang Palace after all, and there are many forbidden areas in the mountain gate. Why don't I take you to enjoy the mountains during this period of time?"

These underworld forces, especially the white forces, need to buy land and mountains from the government before they can start building on them when establishing their sects.

It is different for Chunyang Palace. Its Huashan Mountain was not bought but earned by Lu Zu when he presented "Datong Dianlun" in the temple. Since then, the entire Huashan Mountain has been the asset of Chunyang Palace.

Lu Ping was stunned when Yu Rui said this.

"The people of Chunyang Palace are so hospitable?!"
