Chapter 303: You Chunyang

Soon, the three of them landed gracefully. The two Taoists were as light as cranes, elegant and calm.

Seeing this, Lu Ping could not help but praise: "I have heard many Chunyang disciples in the martial arts world that 'travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, with green snakes in their sleeves and boldness, and flying swords a hundred feet to take down the enemy'. Now that I see the two masters' light skills are so exquisite, I know that these words are true."

How do you recite that poem?

You have trained your body to be like a crane. Aren’t you afraid that the palace maids will strangle you?

The two turned around, Li Wangsheng stroked his long beard and sighed: "According to this old Taoist, your Qinggong is also quite extraordinary!"

After praising each other for a while, the three of them ignored the disciples guarding the door of Guanwei Pavilion, bypassed the attic, walked down the mountain path, crossed the suspension bridge, and came to Laojun Palace.

In Chunyang, there are palaces named "Three Purities", namely: Laojun Palace, Yuqing Palace, and Zixiao Palace.

These "three palaces" are a general term, each with its own division of labor, and each is divided into several small palaces, not just three palaces in total.

Take Yuqing Palace as an example. It is a series of palaces specially used by the royal family to live when they come to practice Taoism. They mainly include:
Tianyuan Hall for the emperor to rest, Cifang Palace for the concubines to rest, Mingqi Hall for the princes to rest, and Dahe Hall for the ministers to rest...

The Laojun Palace in front of us is a place specially used for refining elixirs.

At this time, there was still smoke coming out of the roof of an alchemy room. When passing by, one could also smell a faint medicinal fragrance wafting out of the room, indicating that the alchemy furnace inside was refining pills.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ping asked again: "Is the alchemy of Chunyang Palace really effective?"

The idea of ​​alchemists refining medicine has existed since ancient times, but alchemists from different traditions are good at refining different types of pills, and each person's refining techniques are also different, so the pills they produce in the end are also different.

Since the Chunyang lineage has the reputation of Lu Zu, the pills they refine here are naturally not the kind of pills that can kill people and are full of metal impurities, but should be pills with definite effects.

Moreover, this is not only a martial arts world, but also a game world. These medicinal pills should be those that can increase qi and blood, improve critical hit rate, strengthen defense in a short period of time, and have no side effects.

As expected, when asked by Lu Ping, Li Wangsheng began to explain the two signature products of Chunyang Palace - Qi and Blood Powder and Cultivation Pill.

The former is mainly used to heal wounds and replenish qi, while the latter can be used to enhance one's skills.

"But the cultivation pills are only effective for those with shallow skills. If you are a beginner in martial arts, taking the cultivation pills can help you improve your skills faster and consolidate your foundation. But once your internal strength reaches a certain level, taking the pills will have no effect."

Lu Ping suddenly realized: "I see. Even so, it is still very impressive. After all, most martial artists in the martial arts world are just average, and geniuses are only a minority after all."

"As for alchemy, I only know a little bit. Among my six fellow apprentices, Junior Brother Shangguan is the best."

"Is Lingxuzi a real person?"

Lu Ping groaned, "Indeed, in the martial arts world, it is rare to hear of this master taking action. It turns out that he is better at refining pills..."

Li Wangsheng chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Shangguan has never competed with others. Instead, he likes to study elixirs. Most of the elixirs in Chunyang Palace are made by him."

"I heard that recently he has developed a skin care product called 'Hanzhen Powder', which is very popular among his disciples."

"Oh...Hanzhensan?!"

The special noun made Lu Ping cautious.

I still remember that in the anime, Assassin of the Red Cult used this Hanzhen Powder to make a big fuss in the martial arts world.

Under the guise of Chunyang Palace, he developed something called 'Chunyang Hanzhen Powder', which he used to transport large amounts of 'Andrographis paniculata' into Chang'an, and secretly made poisonous corpses.

"Yes, it's Hanzhen Powder... What's wrong?"

Li Wangsheng keenly noticed the change in Lu Ping's expression and asked.

Lu Ping paused, shook his head and said, "No, I just want to remind Master Li that if your sect plans to sell these products to the martial arts world in the future, it is best to put anti-counterfeiting trademarks on them and send disciples to open shops in fixed locations to sell them, so that no one will use the name of Chunyang Palace to cause trouble."

"Uh...thank you for your reminder, young man. I will keep it in mind."

After leaving Laojun Palace, we arrived at the Huashan Mountain Road.

The mountain path is winding, long, steep, and covered with snow. Fortunately, there are stones and trees as markers along the way, so we will never get lost in the heavy snow.

Walking along the mountain path, the three of them climbed up the Lotus Peak, Lunjian Peak, and Zuowang Peak one after another, then changed direction and walked through the Guanri Peak, Kongwu Peak, and Luoyan Peak, almost walking through most of Chunyang.

Wherever he arrived at a place, Yu Rui would carefully check inside and out to see if any house or pavilion was dirty or if anything was broken. He would then silently remember it in his mind and later instruct his disciples to come and clean or repair it.

Sometimes when he met the Chunyang disciples who were in charge of guarding, Li Wangsheng would go up to them and say a few words of concern, and then the expressions of those disciples would become serious at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the three of them returned to the guest house, it was already dusk.

Looking at Li Wangsheng who was still full of energy, Lu Ping could not help but admire him: "Although most martial artists have plenty of energy, Master Li is nearly sixty years old, but after a day of inspection in Chunyang Palace, he is still full of energy. I really admire him!"

Li Wangsheng laughed loudly upon hearing this: "The martial arts of Chunyang Palace are more effective in strengthening the body than ordinary martial arts. Although I am old, I still have the physical strength to climb mountains."

"Master, I think you have almost reached your limit. You should go and rest as soon as possible."

Yu Rui smiled and shook his head, then looked at Lu Ping and said, "Huashan is so big that you can't explore it all in one day. Young man, you have come from afar, and since you want to have fun, you might as well stay here for the next few days."

"If you need anything, you can call on the disciples in the sect. There is no need to be restrained."

Lu Ping was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Master Qingxu and Master Li. I will be very shameless to stay here for two more days."

"There is something important going on at the mountain gate today, so my brother and I will temporarily leave you. Please do as you please, young man."

"Two masters, please take care."

After Li Wangsheng and Yu Rui left, Lu Ping looked at their backs and suddenly had a strange and outrageous feeling.

"It's amazing!"

"Why do I suddenly have the illusion of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren..."

After a two-second pause, Lu Ping subconsciously patted his head again.

"Speaking of which, the three of us, one old, one young, and one young, are 20 years apart from each other. If we count by age, we are indeed grandfather and grandchildren."

Among the six Chunyang disciples, Li Wangsheng and Xie Yunliu who had already left were the first to be accepted as disciples by Lu Zu, and they were also the two oldest.

When Xie Yunliu left Chunyang, Yu Rui had not yet entered the sect.

Later, Lu Zu left the mountain and traveled around the world, and Yu Rui was basically brought up by Li Wangsheng. Although they were nominally brother and sister, they were actually no different from father and daughter.

As for the relationship between Yu Rui and himself...

As the "number one nurse in the world of Jianghu", Yu Rui had nursed Lu Ping countless times with her "Four Symbols Reincarnation", restored his health with her "Heavenly Sound Calming Qi", and protected him countless times with her "Suppressing Mountains and Rivers"...

With all these previous connections, it seems that calling her "wet nurse" is not a shameful thing?
After shaking his head to get rid of the absurd thoughts in his mind, Lu Ping finally focused his attention on the system.

Today, I followed Li Wangsheng and Yu Rui to visit most of Chunyang Palace. I had already checked in at all 10 scenic spots, and the system gave me its reward.

[Complete the hidden task 'School Scenery Check-in·Chunyang Palace' and get the reward 'Famous Sword Jinfeng/Aurora Sword 1+Nine Yang Tian Jue']

The famous sword Jin Feng/Aurora Sword One is a sword, forged by the Southern Region blacksmith Jiang Nan Chunxin. It is a dazzling, golden weapon.

Although they are two swords, they are actually one, which is equivalent to one sword having two forms.

When changing forms, it is controlled by the Yin-Yang beads on the sword.

When the white bead is on top, the sword pulled out is the famous Jinfeng, which represents "yang" and "daytime"; when the black bead is on top, the sword pulled out is the Aurora Sword One, which represents "yin" and "night".

Jiuyang Tianjue is a sword technique with a total of nine moves. The odd-numbered moves are named with "liao" and the even-numbered moves are named with "fen", which is one of its major characteristics.

As for the sword technique itself, its attributes are extremely masculine and extremely strong, and although it is not difficult to learn, it is difficult to improve. This emphasizes that warriors should proceed step by step and not be impatient.

These two are the same configuration of the "Famous Sword Without Name" Juan Shoutian.

Lu Ping guessed that the system gave this configuration probably because the prototype of the character Juan Shoutian's appearance was Lu Zu.

After taking a quick look and accepting the reward, Lu Ping did not choose to delve into it in depth immediately.

The Nine Yang Tian Jue sword technique is quite special. You cannot skip the previous moves and practice the later ones first. Instead, you need to spend a lot of time practicing the previous moves to perfection and lay a solid foundation before you can unleash the true power of the later moves.

If you are too eager to achieve success, and rush to practice the later moves without having mastered the previous ones to perfection, not only will you not be able to exert your full strength in those moves, but you will also not have the chance to remedy the situation.

Even if you go back and practice the previous moves again, it will be of no use.

In other words, this is a set of swordsmanship that needs to be taken seriously, requires one to calm down, and requires a lot of time to practice. It is not something that can be practiced right away.
