Under Linghu Chong's guidance, Yang Tao's swordsmanship experience improved by leaps and bounds. Most importantly, this learning experience changed his view of moves.

Originally, he had a somewhat disdainful attitude towards moves. Even towards things like the Dugu Nine Swords and the Evil-Resisting Swordplay, he held a dismissive view.

Because he firmly believed that in the world of martial arts, there was no defense that couldn't be broken, only speed that couldn't be overcome.

As long as he possessed enough speed and power, he could break through all techniques with brute force. However, Linghu Chong's teachings made him realize that in situations where the skill level was similar, or even just one realm apart, techniques and moves were very important.

Even though he had only mastered some superficial techniques for generating power, his strength had already increased by ten to twenty percent compared to before.

Just as Yang Tao was practicing, a dense sound came from the tunnel of the secret cave.

Before even the time it takes to burn an incense stick had passed, Yue Buqun and his wife, Ning Zhongze, walked out from inside. However, Yue Buqun, who usually paid great attention to his appearance, was covered in dust.

Even his hair had turned gray, making him look somewhat disheveled for a moment.

Ning Zhongze, on the other hand, was much better and didn't have much dust on her.

The boldest, Yue Lingshan, couldn't help but laugh when she saw her father's appearance and said, "Dad, were you digging rocks inside? Your hair has turned white."

When Ning Zhongze saw her daughter's appearance, she glared at her reproachfully and said, "Shan'er, don't be naughty, or I'll confine you for a month when we get back."

Although Yue Buqun looked a little disheveled, he had a smile on his face, obviously in a very good mood. He glanced at his wife and said, "Forget it, Shan'er didn't say anything wrong."

"Chong'er, Dayou, Tao'er, and Shan'er, you must remember not to spread the things inside the cave."

Then, thinking of his second disciple, Lao Denuo, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he added:

"Even among fellow disciples, you must not discuss it. Bury this matter in your stomachs. The sword techniques in the cave have been destroyed by your teacher. Focus on cultivating your inner strength, inner strength is the foundation of everything."

Seeing Yue Buqun speaking so solemnly, Yue Lingshan didn't dare to joke anymore and quickly agreed along with her three senior brothers.

"Let's go down the mountain. Chong'er, you come too. Remember not to sneak down the mountain to buy wine anymore."

When Yang Tao heard what Yue Buqun said, he understood why Linghu Chong was being confined again this time. However, not letting his senior brother drink wine was as good as tying him to the room.

… …

The next morning.

Yang Tao had just returned from fishing outside, and before he could organize the wooden box and iron box on his body, he saw Yue Buqun sitting in the pavilion not far from him, looking at him intently.

'Old Yue, is he looking for me?'

Yang Tao walked towards Yue Buqun and respectfully bowed, saying, "Master."

Yue Buqun stroked his beard with one hand and nodded slightly, asking, "Tao'er, I've been waiting for you for a while. What were you doing so early in the morning?"

"Master, I went to practice my lightness skill and also did some fishing!"

Yue Buqun was a little surprised. According to his observations during this period, this disciple of his was good at everything, except that he was too aloof. If it wasn't necessary, he could stay at home and cultivate every day.

"Fishing? Not bad, fishing can also cultivate one's character and temper one's personality…"

Halfway through his words, Yue Buqun realized that the disciple in front of him was not Linghu Chong. He was calm and aloof. If he became addicted to fishing, wouldn't it be that in a few years, only the legend of this disciple would be circulating in the sect, and even his shadow wouldn't be seen.

"Cough cough, fishing is good, but you can't be addicted to it. I have something to discuss with you this time."

He reached into his arms and took out a manual, gently placing it on the stone table, saying, "This is the Huashan Saber Technique. You can take a look at it yourself first, and I will personally guide you after you memorize it."

A happy smile appeared on Yang Tao's face, and he quickly stepped forward to pick up the manual on the table.

[Huashan Saber Technique]

Accessory

Increases saber damage by 15%

Seeing the attributes above, the expression on Yang Tao's face froze.

'15%… and it only buffs saber damage, isn't this a bit too weak…'

Yue Buqun had been observing Yang Tao's expression. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why do you have such an expression?"

Yang Tao didn't hide his thoughts. There was no point in hiding this kind of thing, so he said directly, "Master, do we have any stronger saber techniques? I want to get to the top in one step."

Yue Buqun chuckled and said, "The Huashan Sect is famous in the martial world for its sword techniques. There are very few saber techniques."

"However, there are indeed some, such as the Reverse Liangyi Saber Technique, which can be considered first-class in the martial world. However, you can't be greedy. After you have completely mastered the Huashan Saber Technique, I will naturally not hide anything."

Seeing Yue Buqun's appearance, Yang Tao knew that there was no hope of obtaining a stronger saber technique now.

"I hope you practice hard. I'll leave first."

"Master, take care…"

After saying that, Yue Buqun got up and left. Yang Tao sat down on the stone stool that Yue Buqun had just been sitting on and opened the saber technique manual to read it.

The technique manuals are very interesting, with illustrations and annotations of the internal energy circulation routes, which can make the power of the saber technique even better.

Yang Tao sat in the pavilion, looking at the manual in his hand while gesturing in the air with one hand.

Learning makes people happy.

Of course, this requires learning things you are interested in. If you take a book on advanced mathematics, Yang Tao guarantees he will fall asleep in three seconds.

Completely ignoring the pointing and whispering of the senior brothers passing by, Yang Tao was completely immersed in the world of learning.

It wasn't until noon that Yang Tao let out a heavy breath, closed the saber technique manual, and closed his eyes to relieve his brain.

"Sure enough, moves still have their merits… I can't be narrow-minded, but the most important thing is still to be faster, harder, and stronger!"

Fast is speed, hard is the weapon, and strong is power.

He pretended to put the manual into his arms, but in reality, he put the manual into his backpack.

'Should I go find Wang Cheng to spar? Or forget it, Wang Cheng is too young and hasn't fully grown up. Even if his swordsmanship is good, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back under my full strength…'

'Thinking about it this way, it still has to be the master's direct disciple…'

Returning to his room, he locked the doors and windows and went straight to the underground world. He hadn't opened the box he had fished up this morning.

Returning to the brightly lit underground hall, whether it was because of the rules of Terraria or because Yang Tao's physique was special, Yang Tao didn't feel any stuffiness in the underground space.

"Alas, I saved up so much bait, and it's gone after only two days of fishing…"

Looking at the more than a dozen butterflies left in his backpack, Yang Tao shook his head.

Opening his backpack and looking at today's full harvest, he finally smiled.

As the wooden boxes were opened one by one, many materials filled the entire backpack. The large amount of basic materials meant that Yang Tao didn't have to go down the mine, and it would be enough for him to use for a short time.

Next, he didn't open the iron box, but turned his attention to the two golden golden boxes. Today, after changing to an iron fishing rod and increasing his fishing power by 10 points, it was simply like exchanging a sparrow gun for a cannon.

"Let me see, what is the gold content of this golden box!"

Opening the golden box, a red heart-shaped crystal appeared in Yang Tao's backpack, and Yang Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Life Crystal??"

One life crystal can increase 20 points of health, which will increase his safety again.

Without hesitation, he pointed to use the life crystal. His original 100 points of health became 120 points, and to his surprise, he even felt that his strength had become stronger.

"Could it be that increasing the health limit can also improve physical fitness??"

Originally, his physical fitness was already stronger than ordinary people, and now he can improve after using the life crystal, how can this let others live?
