All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 75 I have a friend

"These female Taoists are so young, yet their swordsmanship is light and powerful, and their foundation is quite good. The person who taught them martial arts must be a master."

"Even my worthless disciples might not have such a level of swordsmanship."

Xie Tianling couldn't help but sigh.

"Not bad. The main thing is that the beauty's swordsmanship is more pleasing to the eye. If all swordsmanship in the world were like A-Fei's, a straightforward killing sword, it would be too boring."

Wang Ganshen agreed.

In this world of martial arts, it's really boring to watch a bunch of grown men fighting all day long.

As the three were talking, the battle on the other side was also nearing its end.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!"

The bandit leader wielded a nine-ringed broadsword, wielding it with great skill and precision, appearing more disciplined than the others, indicating he possessed martial arts training.

With a single, powerful strike, he cleaved Mount Hua in two, using brute force to overcome skill, forcing the beautiful female Taoist priest charging ahead to retreat.

The old Taoist priest, who had been standing leisurely at the back, frowned upon seeing this.
The old Taoist priest flashed forward, like a dragon in flight, and appeared before the bandit leader.
Facing the powerful and heavy nine-ringed saber, the old Taoist priest held a jade flute and gently plucked it, using minimal force to deflect the heavy blow and causing the bandit opposite him to stumble.

Then came another move, the Immortal Points the Way, which lightly touched the bandit, instantly immobilizing him.

"What beautiful kung fu!"

Wang Gan clapped his hands in admiration.

The martial arts in Gu Long's world are usually aimed at killing people. They emphasize speed, accuracy, ruthlessness, and directness. Throwing knives, fast swords, and fast knives must be used to kill with one blow.

Whether it looks good or not is not within the scope of consideration for these martial artists who have gone mad with their cultivation.

It is truly rare to see martial arts as simple and graceful as the old Taoist's two moves, which are so elegant and beautiful.

Seeing that their leader had been subdued, the bandits lost their morale and scattered in all directions.

"The boss!"

"Oh no! This is a tough one, time to get out of here!"

Several bandits, in their panic, ran headlong towards Wang Gan and his group.

"Get out of the way!"

"What are you looking at? You want to die?!"

Even without Wang Gan making a move, Xie Tianling's sword was no joke.

Bang bang bang!
A flash of lightning, and the three of them immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Tianling sheathed his sword and stood calmly.
If he weren't dressed as a groom, he truly would have the air of the number one swordsman in the south.

When the old Taoist priest across the way saw Wang Gan and his group, he led a group of beautiful female Taoist priests to greet them.

"I have long heard of the number one swordsman in the south, whose swordsmanship is dangerous, sharp, and seamless. Seeing it today, I can see that he truly lives up to his reputation."

"It's a pity that Bai Xiaosheng didn't include you in the weapon rankings."

The old Taoist priest cupped his hands in greeting, his words full of praise.

"Not at all, just look at the female disciple the Taoist priest taught. His swordsmanship combines the strengths of many schools and is equally profound!"

Xie Tianling, feeling lightheaded from being fawned over, reciprocated by exchanging compliments.

The old Taoist priest then turned towards Sun Xiaohong's direction.
"Miss Sun, it's been so many years, you've grown into such a beautiful woman."

"I wonder how Mr. Sun is doing these days?"

Sun Xiaohong seemed to realize something.
"I remembered!"

"You are the Jade Flute of the East Sea, the Jade Flute Daoist!"

Sun Xiaohong then remembered that this Jade Flute Taoist, ranked tenth on the Weapon Ranking, had met the Heavenly Mystery Elder once in her early years, but she was too young at the time to remember clearly.

"It's been many years, Daoist Master, you're still as dashing as ever. My grandfather is in good health; he can smoke three pipes of tobacco a day." Wang Gan also remembered.
The tenth on the Weapon Ranking is the Jade Flute Taoist, whose jade flute skills are superb. He combines the strengths of thirteen martial arts schools, and his jade flute is a combination of acupoint striking, hidden weapon, and swordsmanship, making him extremely powerful.

What impressed Wang Gan even more was that the Jade Flute Taoist shared the same hobby as him!
The famous swordsman is known for his ruthlessness, the golden ring for his heartlessness, the flying knife for his affection, the iron sword for his fame, and the jade flute for his lust.

Of course, perhaps we should add now: impermanence is poisonous!

Sun Xiaohong asked curiously,
"The last time I saw the Daoist was on the shore of the East China Sea. What are you doing here this time?"

Donghai Yuxiao naturally spends most of his time traveling overseas in the East China Sea and does not operate in the Central Plains martial arts world, so his reputation is not as prominent as that of other weapon masters.

The Jade Flute Taoist laughed heartily.
“No one spends every day at sea, especially in autumn and winter when it’s damp and cold. If you stay there for too long, you’ll get all damp and it’s bad for your skin.”

"I only stay in the East Sea during spring and summer. The rest of the time I am in the Taichu Palace, meditating to understand the Dao and cultivating my mind and body."

Hangu Pass is where Lao Tzu rode an ox out of the pass and wrote the Tao Te Ching, so it is naturally a famous historical site of Taoism.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Li family built a famous Taoist temple on this site for pilgrimage and worship, named 'Taichu Palace'.

Wang Gan's expression was strange.

This old man was dressed in a flamboyant manner and had a group of female Taoist disciples with him. He looked like an evil cultivator, but he was actually a formally employed one!
"This must be the legendary 'Unpredictable Hand,' I've long admired your name."

"Having met you today, you are indeed exceptionally beautiful and extraordinary! No wonder you have won the approval of Elder Sun."

Regardless of Yu Xiao Dao Ren's martial arts skills, he was truly a wise and virtuous person.

With a series of high-EQ remarks, he took care of Wang Gan and the other two in every way.

"Not at all, Senior Yuxiao is very well-preserved. He looks so young despite his age."

"I am ashamed of my inferiority."

Wang Gan was also a polite person; his words were so intimidating that they made people lose their composure.

Jade Flute Daoist felt a bit of a sore throat. This guy really didn't play by the rules, but fortunately, he was shrewd enough not to show it.

"Speaking of which, I was fortunate to encounter bandits on the road earlier, and I thank you all for your help."

"I see that you all look weary from your journey. Why don't we gather at my Taichu Palace to welcome you and cleanse yourselves of the dust of your travels?"

The Jade Flute Taoist extended a sincere invitation.

"This isn't very convenient, is it?"

Wang Gan was somewhat embarrassed.

It wasn't that he was embarrassed, but the journey to Tianshan was already time-sensitive and demanding, so he couldn't afford to linger here for a few more days.

"Amitabha Buddha. Originally, this old Daoist was also planning to exchange some insights with the Impermanent Hand about the Daoist practice of dual cultivation,"

"I have cultivated for many years and have indeed made some achievements in the path of dual cultivation."

"Please also have my disciples treat you lay Buddhists well. Since Wuchangshou has refused, it means that the time is not right, and I will not force it."

The Jade Flute Taoist sighed, somewhat regretfully.

Hospitality? Dual cultivation?
Wang Gan glanced at the beautiful and unique female Taoists behind the Jade Flute Taoist, and took a deep breath.

"Actually, I hit it off with the old Taoist priest at first sight. I felt extremely close to him and wished I could swear brotherhood with him right then and there!"

Wang Gan laughed heartily and then changed the subject.

The Jade Flute Taoist's originally kind smile became somewhat stiff.
If anyone wants to become your sworn brother, I, this old Taoist priest, could be your father!
"Brother Yuxiao, you want to entertain your elder brother, how could I refuse?"

Wang Gan strode forward and casually patted the Jade Flute Taoist on the shoulder.

"As for the Taoist practice of dual cultivation, I'm so young, how could I possibly need it? To be honest,"

"I have a friend who is very interested."
