Martial Arts Crossover: My Wife is the Top Scholar

Chapter 279 Yue Buqun: My disciple has the potential to become the leader of the martial arts world.
night.

Li Zhaoting slept soundly.

On the left is Feng Suzhen, and on the right is Mei Zhu.

Lan Fenghuang, Miss Wang, and Jiang Yuyan stayed in another guest room. Once this case was settled, they would return to Jinling to run the Shunfeng Escort Agency.

It is hardly the customary way for a prestigious sect to accommodate three people in one guest room. However, Yue Buqun has a gambling addict brother named Yue Songtao who loses everything at the casino.

Gamblers have no family ties or reason.

In an attempt to recoup his losses, Yue Songtao gambled away all of Chaoyang Peak's assets, even mortgaging his ancestral home.

When they were fighting for the Liancheng Treasure, Yue Songtao died from a poison that had been circulating for hundreds of years. His death was so gruesome that Yue Buqun simply erected a cenotaph and then left him to his fate.

Old Yue is a pretty good person.

If it were Li Zhaoting, he would either cripple Yue Songtao's martial arts and expel him from the sect, break his legs and lock him in a house with iron chains, or tie him to the cliff of Mount Hua in the dead of winter and wash his body with cold water.

The most decisive course of action is "sudden death from illness".

After all, they were blood relatives, and it was impossible to do it. Expelling them from the sect was the easiest solution. In a few months, Yue Songtao would die in a stinking ditch, and the matter would be completely over.

In order to clean up Yue Songtao's mess, Yue Buqun has been robbing Peter to pay Paul all these years. Even the resources for his disciples to practice martial arts have been severely limited. Ning Zhongze sews the clothes for his personal disciples by hand. During festivals, Yue Lingshan has to help with cooking. Almost all the notorious bandits with bounties on their heads around Mount Hua have been killed by Yue Buqun!

Three people crammed into one guest room, which is not the proper way to treat guests, but this is already the most luxurious room available. Making any further demands would be like slapping Lao Yue in the face.

I can't just give up my master bedroom!

Even if Yue Buqun were willing, Li Zhaoting would not move in, lest some awkward situation occur.

An old figure stood outside the door.

I wanted to knock on the window, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

The young couple was sleeping in the bedroom when the old man with a long beard said he was eavesdropping outside, and even bandits like Zuo Shandiao couldn't stand it.

Feng Qingyang frowned.

He is a man who cares a lot about his reputation; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily outmaneuvered. The scheme of swapping a prostitute for a bride is nothing new in the underworld.

A soft snoring sound came from the room.

Feng Qingyang gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

There is no shortage of tricks and strategies!

With Linghu Chong's fame spreading throughout the martial arts world, the news that Feng Qingyang was still alive had already spread far and wide. Feng Qingyang came to find Li Zhaoting not to teach him swordsmanship, not because he was worried that Li Zhaoting was causing trouble at Mount Hua, and not to ask how Linghu Chong was doing. Rather, he had heard that Li Zhaoting's weapon was the Ziwei Soft Sword and wanted to challenge Li Zhaoting to a fight.

Feng Qingyang had lived in seclusion for many years, and was unaware of the dangers. He did not know that Feng Suzhen's sword, "Zhengfeng," was also a treasured sword left behind by Dugu Qiubai. In other words, all of Dugu Qiubai's weapons had owners, except for that wooden sword.

The wooden sword had long since become rotten wood.

……

It's quiet at night.

Xianyu Tong put on his night clothes, left the bedroom, and soon arrived at a precipitous mountain cave.

Meng Shentong had been waiting there for a long time.

Meng Shentong was tall and slightly hunched over, with a bluish aura on his face and a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Sect Leader Xianyu, you're too late!"

"What difference does it make whether it's early or late? We've been negotiating for six or seven days, but we still haven't reached a cooperation agreement. Master Meng's sincerity is too weak, which really puts me in a difficult position!"

"Is it difficult to do it? Then don't do it!"

Meng Shentong said with a sneer, "If you really don't want to do business with me, why did you come here tonight? Don't think I don't know that Li Zhaoting brought people to Mount Hua!"

"I have no grudge against Li Zhaoting. What does it have to do with me that Li Zhaoting is visiting Mount Hua?"
The ones we should be worried about are the old monkey Mu Renqing, and the withered plum nun! And Yue Buqun, Li Zhaoting is best at exposing hypocrites and ruining their reputations!

Hey!

If we're talking about worries, even the Huashan Sword Sect, which claims to be skilled in swordsmanship and whose swordsmanship is divine, is more worried than I am!
I am the safest!
What am I worried about?
What do I have to worry about?

Xianyu Tong gripped the folding fan tightly in his hand.

Meng Shentong said dismissively, "If you have nothing to worry about, why bother rambling on and on? The more you lack something, the more you like to emphasize it!"

“Meng Shentong, the way you’re saying this isn’t the attitude of cooperation. I’m afraid of Li Zhaoting, aren’t you? Li Zhaoting loves hunting down notorious bandits like you.”

"Li Zhaoting didn't know I was on Mount Hua."

"How do you know he doesn't know? Do you know Li Zhaoting well? Meng Shentong, I don't want to waste words. Tonight is our last negotiation. If we can't reach an agreement tonight, we'll part ways!"

"I want the 'Purple Cloud Divine Skill,' and I need at least the first three levels of the mental cultivation method. There is no room for negotiation on this requirement. If you cannot do it, I will find another partner."

"The Purple Cloud Divine Skill is a secret technique of Mount Hua, and only the sect leader is qualified to cultivate it. As long as I become the sect leader, I will offer the manual with both hands; otherwise, it is all just empty talk."

"Stop pretending. You occupy a peak alone. Although you are not the head of the Huashan Sect, you are still a high-level elder and are qualified to cultivate some of the mental techniques. You have at least mastered the first three levels."

"Ku Mei, Yue Buqun, Mu Renqing, and Feng Buping—you must kill at least two of them for me!"

"Where is the cultivation method I requested?"

"Within three days, if I can see the head of one of them, I will give you two layers of the cultivation technique. Once I see both heads, I will give you four layers of the cultivation technique."

"Killing someone right under Li Zhaoting's nose?"

"You do not dare?"

"I need a layer of the cultivation technique as a deposit. Li Zhaoting is too dangerous; I won't take the risk lightly!"

How do I pay my deposit?

"I'll kill a few more people for you!"

"make a deal!"

Xianyu Tong gritted his teeth, took out the internal energy cultivation manual he had memorized during the day from his bosom, and handed it to Meng Shentong.

Meng Shentong sneered: "How do I know if the cultivation method is real or fake? You can change a few words at will, and I'll suffer a qi deviation during practice, saving me the trouble of killing someone to cover it up!"

Xianyu Tong angrily said, "What do you want? You want the original manual? Do you want the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng? Go kill Ku Mei now, the manual is on her!"

"The secret manual is on Ku Mei?"

"Do you think Mount Hua is a big sect like Shaolin? Shaolin is not afraid of others stealing martial arts, but Mount Hua is always worried about its martial arts being leaked. The supreme martial arts, Zixia Divine Skill and Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, each have an original manual, which are kept by the head and deputy head of the Mount Hua sect respectively. Others can only borrow them."

"Xianyu Tong, remember this: if I find any problems with the manual, I will kill you whether I live in heaven or on earth!"

"Meng Shentong, I am the leader of the righteous sect, and I have always acted with integrity. How could I be involved in manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods?"

The two exchanged a glance and then went their separate ways.

Xianyu Tong returned to his bedroom and pondered a solution.

Killing someone in front of Li Zhaoting was certainly dangerous, but the danger was borne by Ku Mei, who was the leader of the Huashan Sect and took the blame for everything.

Meng Shentong returned to the manor at the foot of the mountain, quickly flipped through the Zixia Divine Skill manual, calmed his mind, and practiced his internal energy. The extremely yin and evil violent energy in his body was quickly smoothed out by the Zixia Divine Skill, and his body felt more comfortable than ever before.

The power of the Asura Yin Sha Technique is extremely strong!
How powerful is it? It's the strongest villainous technique in the Liang faction, used from the Song Dynasty all the way to the Qing Dynasty, fighting to the death with various protagonists, including the two "kings" Zhang Danfeng and Jin Shiyi.

Qiao Beiming nearly shortened Zhang Danfeng's lifespan with his Asura Yin Sha Technique. In fact, if Zhang Danfeng hadn't made a breakthrough later, he would have died of illness in his sixties.

Jin Shiyi suffered losses at the hands of Meng Shentong many times and faced several life-threatening crises, which was the greatest danger of his life.

In addition, in the original storyline, Meng Shentong had just mastered the Asura Yin Sha Technique to the third level when he was able to kill the Beggar Clan leader with his Yin Sha Cold Qi, demonstrating its power.

Because of its excessive power and malevolent nature, the martial artist's body could not withstand it. As the skill deepened, the meridians and internal organs were damaged, making it even more severe than the Seven Injury Fist.

Since breaking through to the seventh level of the Asura Realm, Meng Shentong hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

When Meng Shentong woke up, it was already noon. The warm sunlight shone on him, giving him a feeling of snow meeting the warm sun. The gloomy aura completely dissipated, and his cultivation level had unknowingly reached the eighth level of the Asura Realm.

If Meng Shentong had broken through before yesterday, he would have been consumed by yin fire, beset by resentment, and gone mad. But now he feels energetic and refreshed.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest internal skill of the Huashan Sect.

The Huashan Sect truly deserves its reputation as the leader of the seven major sword sects.

Meng Shentong clenched his fist, thinking that if he could obtain the complete "Purple Cloud Divine Skill", he might be able to break through the limit of the Asura Yin Sha Skill and catch up with Qiao Beiming in cultivation. Looking at the entire martial arts world, how many people could defeat him?

According to the records of the Asura Yin Sha Gong, after cultivating to the ninth level, one will form a Vajra body, greatly increasing defensive power. Ordinary attacks will be like a tickle to the body.

Meng Shentong was unaware that the power of the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" was not as formidable as he had imagined. Relatively speaking, it was more like an auxiliary mental cultivation technique that required active activation.

The Purple Cloud True Qi is not an automatically circulating true qi; it requires active mental cultivation to reveal its power. It can enhance the five senses, dispel foreign true qi, and heal injuries.

The strange internal energy that had troubled Linghu Chong for half the book could be resolved by one or two levels of the Zixia Divine Skill. It wasn't about unifying it, but about gradually dissolving it and expelling it from the body bit by bit. Its healing effect was even more terrifying, able to cure both internal and external injuries.

Meng Shentong was able to break through to a higher realm because the greatest characteristic of the Zixia Divine Skill is its gentle warmth, like the purple aura of the rising sun, which can dispel yin and evil energy. This is the right medicine for the disease, so of course he can make rapid progress.

That being said, in terms of its own power, it is still mainly based on the Asura Yin Sha Gong. To achieve the cultivation of Qiao Beiming's unity of good and evil, it would take at least ten years of arduous training.

The Purple Cloud Divine Skill is a skill that requires gradual and persistent effort.

If you eat the good things, you must also accept the bad things.

How can you have your cake and eat it too?
……

If you were to choose the best spot to watch the sunrise among all the magnificent mountains and scenic spots in China, Huashan Chaoyang Peak would definitely be one of them. It is as famous as Emei Golden Summit and Taishan Jade Emperor Peak. Since you have come to Huashan, you must watch the sunrise, otherwise you would have wasted your trip.

Since we're already here, let's spend a couple of days enjoying ourselves first.

Yue Buqun is a person who respects elders and is not suitable to be a tour guide.

He had his disciples act as guides.

Yue Buqun recently took on a good disciple.

His martial arts talent surpasses that of Linghu Chong; he excels in both Qi cultivation and swordsmanship, making him a worthy leader of the martial arts world.

This man's name was He Yuntian. He had met Li Zhaoting several times at Di Qinglin's banquet.

In the original storyline, after Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque retired from the martial arts world, He Yuntian became the leader of the martial arts alliance. Apart from Yaoyue and Yue Longxuan, He Yuntian feared no one.

He Yuntian even planted two spies under Yaoyue and Yue Longxuan's command, making him a true ruthless and powerful figure in the martial arts world.

He Yuntian is still very young and in the process of leveling up, far from his peak.

Yue Buqun intended to bring him and Yue Lingshan together. When Yue Buqun grew old and inherited Chaoyang Peak, He Yuntian, with his hidden ambition, would surely seize the position of sect leader.

He Yuntian has that ability!

He Yuntian was very confident about this!

Chaoyang Peak is Heyuntian's home ground. Gao Yanan, a genius disciple of Yunu Peak, wasted seven years by a scumbag boyfriend. Feng Buping and Xianyu Tong have no genius disciples under their command. Yuan Chengzhi went to the Six Doors to become a constable. Who can compete with Heyuntian?
The group arrived at the Mountain Sun Pavilion at the south entrance of Mount Hua. There, they saw twelve large dragon vines growing beside the pavilion. They were twisted and gnarled, with hollow branches and trunks, ancient and majestic, resembling flying dragons.

He Yuntian explained, "These twelve giant dragon vines were planted by Master Xiyi, the ancestor of Chen Chuan. A master from Qingcheng City comprehended the Demon-Subduing Hand Seal based on the dragon vines."

Miss Wang asked curiously, "I heard that Qingcheng Sect is a sacred place of Taoism, full of Taoist priests. How did they comprehend such a unique skill that seems to be a Tantric martial art?"

Lan Fenghuang curled her lip: "Only Tantric lamas like demon-subduing and hand seal techniques."

He Yuntian laughed and said, "The two ladies do not know, but the Taoist sect also has hand seals. Some ancient sects have complete 'Nine Syllable Mantras,' but unfortunately, few people can use them in martial arts. The Tantric lamas have taken the lead."

Li Zhaoting waved his hand: "No, no! Visualizing hand mudras is for cultivating the mind, not for fighting. Using this method to fight for a long time is not conducive to one's own cultivation."

Jiang Yuyan said, "Young Master, I heard that Lei Sun, the leader of the Six and a Half Hall, is proficient in the Nine Characters of Speed ​​and Slowness of Tantric Buddhism. Lei Sun is a powerful figure in the underworld. He must have killed a lot of people, right?"

Li Zhaoting explained: "The nine characters of Lei Sun's speed and slowness are entirely used for killing and have deviated from the original concept. Although the power is strong, it is easy for the enemy to counter it."

"Is there anyone who can counter Lei Sun?"

"Of course! There are at least two!"

One was Zhuge Zhengwo, who, after being ambushed and having his vital points compromised, launched a counterattack against Lei Sun, forcing Lei Sun to cut off three fingers to save his life.

One was Guan Qi, who comprehended the authentic Nine True Words during his fierce battle with Lei Sun. He could sometimes be a lotus flower and sometimes a sword, and he could use the Nine True Words with one hand to enhance his innate body-breaking formless sword energy, which almost shattered Lei Sun's Dao heart.

He Yuntian promptly flattered, "Master Li is truly learned and talented! I admire you greatly!"

Ascending slowly, passing Peach Blossom Plain, over Xiyi Box, and climbing Sameng Plain, the mountain path becomes increasingly treacherous. Ahead lies the famous "Chess Gambling Pavilion," where, according to legend, Zhao Kuangyin lost Mount Hua to Chen Tuan while playing chess.

Unfortunately, the immortals are nowhere to be found.

It is said that the patriarch Chen Tuan left behind descendants who were proficient in divination and spiritual communication. It is unknown what kind of extraordinary people they were!

Feng Suzhen asked curiously, "Young Master He, since it's a game of chess to determine the winner, is there anyone recording the game score?"

He Yuntian looked regretful: "No! The founding emperor and Mr. Xiyi were both martial arts masters. The chess manual they left behind must contain profound martial arts techniques!"

Li Zhaoting joked, "Martial arts level has nothing to do with chess skills. If Master Zhang of Wudang played against a Go master, he would definitely be utterly defeated!"

Is there a foolproof way to win?

"Have."

"any solution?"

"If you pick up the chessboard and smash your opponent's head into a pulp, they certainly won't dare to win. There's a Demon Sword Clan in the Western Regions that adheres to this philosophy."

"Such an extraordinary person exists in the martial arts world?"

"They said this is a game of life and death, requiring complete concentration to determine both skill and life or death."

What is Master Li's opinion on this?

"I am very interested in their swordsmanship."

"And their chess skills?"

"I could completely crush them when I was ten years old!"

The remnants of the Demon Sword Clan are all terrible chess players. Don't be fooled by their loud pronouncements about the life-or-death game; anyone who has seen their game records knows their skill level.

This proves once again that chess skills and martial arts skills are unrelated!

　Meng Shentong is extremely powerful; the Asura Yin Sha Gong at its ninth level is incredibly potent, especially in terms of defense.
　　Original text: (Meng Shentong) Although he had almost mastered the art of making his body indestructible, even poisonous hidden weapons could not kill him, and poisonous smoke could not knock him down.
　　Original text: Meng Shentong, relying on his indestructible body, was a little slow to dodge, and with a whoosh, he was struck on the shoulder first.

　　However, the most bizarre martial arts technique in Liang Yusheng's works also appears in "The Jade Bow and the Cloud Sea", called "Indestructible Vajra Body Technique". I really can't imagine how Indestructible Vajra and Body Technique are combined.
