My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 79 Collusion? You underestimate the Great Teacher of Virtue.

Yun Shuying was taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She enjoys dealing with people who are clean and efficient.

She rose and performed a proper sword salute, solemnly saying, "Greetings, Yun Shuying of the Heart Sword Sect."

Lu Ming stood up to return the greeting, his mind already automatically recalling the other party's information.

The Heart Sword Sect, one of the five sects of the Great Zhao Dynasty, is known as the Heart Lamp Illuminates the Night and the Sword Reigns Supreme for All Ages, its brilliance unparalleled in the Great Zhao.

The members of the Heart Sword Sect have always enjoyed going down the mountain to slay demons and monsters, and their reputation among the people is second only to that of the Taiping Dao.

Yun Shuying is clearly the most outstanding person of the current generation of the Heart Sword Sect.

Looking at all the geniuses of the Great Zhao Dynasty, there are only two who can rank ahead of her.

Even Su Qingsi, who was known as one of the "Two Beauties" alongside her, was always overshadowed by her.

"Lord Lu is a man of few words, so I will get straight to the point."

Yun Shuying's expression turned serious, and she slowly spoke: "With the world about to change, I would like to establish a good relationship with Lord Lu."

As she spoke, she took out a brocade box from her bosom and pushed it in front of Lu Ming: "I have heard that Lord Lu has been searching for ancient artifacts and secret manuals. This is what I obtained when I traveled to Kunlun Ruins. I hope Lord Lu will not find it offensive."

Lu Ming looked up at her and was slightly taken aback.

So skilled?

What happened to the saying that sword cultivators are unparalleled in their sharpness and disdainful of human relationships?

Yun Shuying clearly guessed what he was thinking. A blush flashed across her cool face as she tried to defend herself, saying, "When you're out and about, it's better to avoid trouble."

"The disciples of the Heart Sword Sect have always believed in solving problems in the simplest way. As long as it does not go against one's conscience, a little bit of sentiment is not worth mentioning."

Lu Ming's lips curled slightly as he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was perhaps much easier to communicate with than he had imagined.

He took the brocade box and opened it; inside was an old, unidentified animal hide.

The leather was yellowed and curled at the edges, covered with densely packed tiny characters written in a flamboyant style.

The ink has faded somewhat, but the strength and vigor of the brushstrokes from back then are still evident.

Unfortunately, he couldn't understand a single word.

The world's history is incomplete, and so is its writing system. Even though he inherited the original owner's memories, he still doesn't recognize the characters on many ancient artifacts.

He reached out and picked up the animal hide, his eyes flickering slightly.

The Heavenly Heart Scroll reacted immediately:

[Heart Imprint Found, Skill Return to Origin Brew, can be refined, refine or not?]

A thought struck him, and he looked up in confusion.

Yun Shuying smiled slightly and explained softly, "I obtained this wine recipe by chance. The characters on it are profound and even the master alchemists and brewers in the sect cannot understand them."

""

"They studied it for a long time, only knowing that this formula was called Guiyuan Brew, which was used by powerful humans in the primordial era to cleanse their bodies..."

It was created by condensing the true form.

At this point, she stared straight at Lu Ming and said in a deep voice, "According to their speculation, if this wine can be successfully brewed, the success rate of condensing the true body will increase by at least 30%."

Lu Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.

Does condensing your true form increase the success rate by 30%?

If that's the case, then the significance of this wine recipe is extraordinary.

As far as he knew, even though the five sects possessed top-grade earth books, not everyone could successfully condense a true body.

Or rather, only those who condense their true form can be considered true inheritors of the Five Schools.

Among the most prestigious sects of the Great Zhao Dynasty, including the Three Schools and Five Sects, despite possessing unparalleled martial arts, no more than three people in each generation have ever been able to condense their true forms.

Sometimes, there are not even a single successful one, and one can only settle for second best by condensing the Dharma body.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to condense the true form, and how precious this wine recipe is.

But why would she give me such a precious wine recipe so easily?

A question flashed through Lu Ming's mind, but he quickly figured out the key to it.

Firstly, even the people of the Heart Sword Sect do not recognize these characters and are unable to deduce the complete recipe.

Secondly, the other party must have already made a copy of the recipe, so sending the original at this time would show more sincerity.

It has to be said that Yun Shuying once again overturned his impression of sword cultivators.

Although his actions were decisive and direct, there were countless twists and turns involved.

It must be said, they truly live up to their reputation as the Heart Sword Sect.

He couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

Just as he was pondering, Yun Shuying's expression turned solemn, and she uttered a startling statement: "I've come here not only to forge a good relationship, but also to remind you—that vixen Su Qingsi's words cannot be trusted!"

Her gaze was like a sword, as if she could see right through Lu Ming's heart: "In this world, using one supreme talent to control all the lower-level talents and condense a true body is already the limit—there is no method that can control more than two supreme talents!"

His tone was firm and resolute, and there was not a trace of hesitation in his words.

Lu Ming frowned and slowly raised his head.

The other party's keen perception exceeded his expectations; they noticed the abnormality in him in just a brief encounter.

This reminded him of Su Qingsi, that vixen, who had also easily pointed out his weakness and used it as a bargaining chip.

Is this the strength of the top ten on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking? They are indeed unfathomable.

He felt helpless.

Yun Shuying met his gaze without backing down, and bluntly stated his true nature: "I can sense that you have awakened more than one supreme talent."

"Although I cannot know for sure how many supreme talents you have awakened, your extraordinary strength and your powerful blood and energy are as bright as a candle flame in our eyes."

Her voice was clear and crisp, yet it pierced straight to the heart without any politeness: "However, this path has already been proven by countless brilliant human geniuses—it is a dead end."

"If you can decipher this recipe, you might find a glimmer of hope."

Lu Ming stared at her for a long time, and after a while, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

As expected of a sword cultivator, he speaks directly and without beating around the bush, revealing his purpose clearly.

Her words were not only a reminder to him to be wary of Su Qingsi, but also almost a direct statement: "You're about to die, this wine recipe might give you a chance to struggle in your death throes."

Unwittingly, two favors were done.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, not pressing the issue with her, but instead asking playfully, "Then what does Miss Yun need me to do?"

He didn't believe that there was always a price to pay for every effort; he thought the Heart Sword Sect was truly a benevolent philanthropist who asked for nothing in return.

After a moment of silence, Yun Shuying finally spoke: "I don't know."

Lu Ming was taken aback.

Yun Shuying stood up and looked in the direction of Luo Jing, and slowly said, "No one knows what will happen—but we know that we will definitely need your help at that time."

Lu Ming's heart stirred.

What does that mean?

I wonder what will happen?

Judging from the direction of her gaze, could it be related to the Great Teacher?

Moreover, he had barely returned from the government office when the other party came to establish a good relationship with him.

It seems that he passed Liu Zhiyuan's test and his strength was recognized.

But why was she so sure she needed his help?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "You came to me—because of Lian Feng?"

Yun Shuying's pretty face slightly stiffened; she hadn't expected the other party to be so perceptive.

She didn't hide anything and said frankly, "That's right."

Lu Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he cursed inwardly:

That bastard is a jinx.

But at the same time, he realized just how much these people valued Lian Feng.

Although the opponent was only ranked 30th on the Dragon and Tiger List, his every move captivated the minds of these top young talents.

Currently, three of the top ten experts on the Dragon and Tiger List have appeared in Yinhu County. He finds it hard to imagine how many more experts are lurking in the shadows.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he showed no sign of it on his face. He stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Shuying: "Miss Yun, you are too kind. If it is within my ability, I will certainly not refuse."

Although the other party had many ulterior motives, they were at least open and honest on the surface, and even presented a gift upon meeting.

Compared to Su Qingsi, that vixen who wanted to get something for nothing and also take Xiao Wanjun away, she was much better.

At this moment, his expression shifted, and he thought of a question that had troubled him for a long time. He simply asked directly, "Miss Yun, do you know why the Way of Peace colludes with demons? I have read in the ancient texts that the sorcerer Zhang Jiao—seems to be at odds with demons?"

He was referring, of course, to Zhang Jiao's attack on the mountain and the ruined temple.

How could someone who dared to vanquish demons for sixty years end up associating with monsters?

Upon hearing this, Yun Shuying raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and stared at Lu Ming for a long time. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke: "Collusion? You underestimate the Great Teacher of Virtue."
