Chapter 232 Ambition and Sword Obsession

In the teahouse beside the wide official road, the wheels of the carriages rumbled, and horse-drawn carriages slowly came and stopped here. There were small flags hanging on the carriages with the words "Wulin Alliance" printed on them.

The disciples of the Wulin Alliance jumped out of the carriages and on horseback one by one and strode towards the tea shop.

"Big Brother, there's plenty of space here, let's take a rest here for a while!" someone shouted.

The curtain of a carriage was drawn open, and Hua Wuying's head popped out.

"it is good."

He smiled and said, "Everyone is tired, let's rest for half an hour before we continue on our journey."

People filed into the teahouse and quickly filled all the empty tables. The sun was shining brightly and the heat was scorching. Everyone was sweating and had dry mouths. Looking at the herbal tea and grass jelly in front of the tea drinkers next to them, their eyes lit up.

But the tea shop was small after all and could not accommodate so many people, so some herbal tea was delivered to the carriage, and some people simply sat on the roadside, drinking tea and chatting and laughing.

"Miss Tang, is Brother Fu in seclusion again?"

Hua Wuying came to the back of the convoy with two bowls of herbal tea in his hands and handed one of the bowls to Tang Jiao who had just jumped off the horse.

Tang Jiao thanked him softly, glanced at the carriage behind him, and said helplessly: "Yes, my brother said that he had tried to break through the sixth realm and realized how difficult it was. He wanted to think about it carefully."

"Brother Fu is really hardworking..."

Hua Wuying smiled and said, "It's a pity that Senior Wu and Sect Leader Ding have other important matters and have already left in advance. Otherwise, Brother Fu could have asked them for more advice."

"I am also in the sixth realm!" At this time, Wu Changfeng murmured in dissatisfaction: "Why doesn't he ask me for advice?"

The few of them were already familiar with each other. Tang Jiao smiled at him and teased, "After all, Brother Wu, your sixth realm is quite impressive."

Wu Changfeng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Miss Tang, why are you like Qiu Chan, so sharp-tongued?"

Hua Wuying smiled and shook his head, then he patted the carriage and said, "Brother Fu, let's go out and have some tea together. Breaking through the Sixth Realm is not something that can be done overnight, and it is not advisable to work in isolation. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with us."

After a moment, Fu Qingzhou's voice came from the car.

"I didn't do much research. I just wanted to savor the feeling of a breakthrough after failing just now..."

As he said that, he got out of the car and took the cold tea from Hua Wuying's hand: "I will definitely not do this in the short term. It's too difficult."

Taste was just an excuse. In fact, just now in the carriage, he was in a high-intensity confrontation with the Smoker.

When the Smoker learned about his failure in breaking through the sixth realm, he was gloating and mocking him crazily, and then expressed disdain for the several breakthrough plans proposed by Fu Qingzhou.

After Fu Qingzhou failed to break through, he thought about it and came up with three plans, such as purchasing special elixirs to assist, using another way of practicing Qi when breaking through, and finding a few masters to help him compress his internal energy...

But without exception, all of them were denied by the smoker.

Its original words were: "What you said are the methods that normal people use to overcome difficulties, but the internal energy in your meridians has already exceeded that of ordinary people by ten or a hundred times. Have you ever seen a fifth-level expert dare to go head-to-head with a seventh-level expert?"

"Your meridians have been widened, but your Dantian is still this big. No matter how much you try to fill it up, you can't stuff a lake of water into a small bottle!"

"Unless you can find another strong man of Long Dabei's level, and let him use up his own cultivation to expand your Dantian! Otherwise, you will stay in the fifth realm for the rest of your life!"

"Or you can just stay there quietly. Qi Ran Jue will practice on its own anyway, so just wait for it to break through the sixth realm on its own... Oh no, you have another technique now, and Qi Ran Jue might not care about it at all. That's it, you're doomed."

Fu Qingzhou was of course dissatisfied with this statement, and proposed new ideas, which were then rejected by the Smoker one by one...

This debate went on like this, but to no avail.

This is also why he told Hua Wuying that "it's too difficult".

It's not that he gave up on himself, but even the smoker who had Xuanxing's views had agreed that his situation was beyond the reach of even gods, so it was obvious that a solution could not be found in a short period of time.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the old man, the Smoker, was resentful of Fu Qingzhou for not letting him possess Yuan Wu's body, and was deliberately fooling him...

Several people gathered beside the carriage, drinking cold tea and fanning themselves, chatting casually.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, you also got the Qianlong Letter?" Fu Qingzhou suddenly noticed that Tang Jiao was holding a fan in her hand, wasn't that the Qianlong Letter?

Tang Jiao smiled sweetly: "Yes, Master Zhao said that I can be considered a disciple of a large sect. My master even had a record of fighting three people alone at the foot of Langhuan Mountain and suppressing the top masters of various major sects, so he also gave me a note."

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes: "That old Taoist priest has no achievements, isn't it just relying on magic weapons?"

After Tang Jiao struggled for a while between the positions of "Master" and "Big Brother", she nodded somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Big Brother is right!"

On the other side, Wu Changfeng was curious when he heard about the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Meeting. He nudged Hua Wuying with his elbow and said, "Hey, this is something that you, the young leader, can't handle. Is your master, Leader Jiang, also involved?"

Hua Wuying chuckled: "Of course, Master is very concerned about this matter and will fully cooperate with Brother Zhao to hold this event."

Fu Qingzhou also became curious: "This matter is very important to the Wulin Alliance, right?"

"of course."

Hua Wuying said: "Although our Wulin Alliance has a great reputation in the martial arts world, and everyone gives us some face, after all, it was only founded by our master more than ten years ago, and its foundation is far from that of a large sect. Most of the members of the alliance now are from small sects."

"If we can successfully hold this event, we can even become the leader of the righteous path in the future, so Master is extremely concerned about this matter."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Hua, let me ask you something~Does Alliance Leader Jiang want to unify the martial arts world?"

"Hahaha……"

Hua Wuying laughed: "It's a bit exaggerated to unify the martial arts world. Master's original intention is not to rule anyone, but for the sword."

Wu Changfeng's eyes widened: "What do you mean? Kendo? Alliance Leader Jiang set up the Wulin Alliance for Kendo?"

"Exactly."

Hua Wuying said solemnly: "You may have heard of it more or less. The 'Hundred Sword Techniques' created by Master is the way to simplify the complex after he collected and refined the sword techniques from all over the world for many years. But Master is still not satisfied."

"He believes that although the sword techniques he collected contain essence, he has never been exposed to the secret sword techniques of the great sects and ancient traditions. The so-called knowledge of a hundred sword techniques is still not up to the reality."

Fu Qingzhou exclaimed, "Then there's no need to set up a Wulin League. Leader Jiang is already a cave-heaven expert, so he must be one of the best in the martial arts world. Any major sect can treat him with courtesy, exchange ideas and learn from him, isn't that all?"

"Brother Fu..." Hua Wuying smiled bitterly, "How can it be as easy as you think? Ordinary swordsmanship is fine, but how can the real secret technique be easily handed over to outsiders?"

"When Master was young, he traveled all over the country, looking for major sects and masters, but not many people paid attention to him."

"According to Master, he was once treated coldly when he visited an ordinary small sect. When he left in despair, he saw the sect leader nodding and bowing to a young disciple from a large sect who happened to pass by, and greeting him with a smile..."

"After that, he decided to carve out a niche for himself and started planning to found the Wulin Alliance."

At this point, Hua Wuying said helplessly: "And everything is just as Master expected. After the Wulin Alliance established itself in the martial arts world, he no longer needed to go looking for them. Many small and medium-sized sects came to him and asked Master for guidance."

"Even the Sword Master Academy has invited Master to be a guest instructor, and Dean Dong often invites Master to drink tea and discuss swordsmanship..."

Fu Qingzhou chuckled.

He didn't think this was ironic. Regardless of ancient or modern times, or in which world, society is the same.

Either you have a big enough fist or a strong enough background, otherwise who would care about you?
But it is precisely because of this that people who are willing to help the weak and fight against the strong are rare and worthy of respect.

This Alliance Leader Jiang is quite interesting. He is obsessed with swordsmanship, but because of this he has embarked on an ambitious path to rule the martial arts world. I wonder if his swordsmanship can still remain pure?
As they were talking, a shout suddenly came from afar: "Are those Wulin League disciples ahead?!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man with tattered clothes and scars all over his body riding a horse galloping towards them, his eyes full of panic and expectation.

A Wulin League disciple responded from afar: "We are the Wulin League disciples, who are you?"

"Great!"

The young man seemed to be both happy and sad. He dismounted and quickly came to the side of the convoy. He knelt down in front of everyone with tears in his eyes and bowed deeply: "I am Lin Ying, please save me!"
