Chapter 178 Secret
Putting aside the question of whether the founder of the Qingshan Sect was a voyeur, any secret cave of the sect sounds like it contains some kind of magical skills or rare treasures.

The wall with the meridian map is actually divided into three parts.

One has a meridian diagram, with a mental formula at the bottom, which should be internal strength. In the middle are twelve sword techniques disassembled diagrams, with sword techniques formulas engraved on them. In the deepest part is a set of footsteps composed of footprints and formulas.

Li Chengxi controlled Yugui to walk around in front of the wall. He was about to zoom in to see more clearly what was written on the wall when he saw a glowing '+' on the teaching box, indicating that new martial arts were being stored.

When I clicked on them, I saw that they were a set of internal strength techniques, a set of sword techniques and a set of footwork.

It should be a good thing to suddenly get three new martial arts to learn, but Li Chengxi found that the names of these three martial arts were surprisingly similar.

Qingshan internal strength, Qingshan swordsmanship, Qingshan footwork...

This doesn't look like some kind of magical skill at all. It's probably equivalent to the entry-level stuff for disciples of big sects.

That’s all, and he even created a secret cave for his collection?
Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, if a small sect like the Qingshan Sect had collected magical skills, why didn't Tian Jing use it before?
"Have you heard of a sect called Qingshan? It's Qingshan, not Qingshan. It feels like it could be a big sect."

Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were also looking at the stone carvings. After noticing that it was a secret book, they consciously turned around to avoid danger.

"No, never."

"If there really is such a sect, Sister Yang's Qingshan Sect should have changed its name long ago, otherwise it would be taboo."

That seems to be true. In this era, everyone from the emperor to the common people were very concerned about taboos. It is unlikely that the names of two sects would be so similar.

"It's not my Qingshan Sect! I'm not planning on becoming the Sect Leader yet!"

"Have you ever heard of the history of your own sect?"

Yang Yiyi scratched her head embarrassedly:
"I've always been the one making the fire and cooking, and no one ever told me this."

Li Chengxi felt that the Qingshan Sect was founded by disciples who escaped from the destruction of a sect called Qingshan. This routine was not too new.

It’s not that important. Li Chengxi was just asking out of pure curiosity.

After following Li Chengxi to look at the stone carvings for a few seconds, Yang Yiyi turned and walked towards the stone table.

There were two small wooden boxes on the table. She opened one of them and found it was full of neatly packed letters.

Seeing that Yang Yiyi seemed not very interested, Li Yingluo quickly said:

"Open it quickly and take a look. Maybe there is evidence of contact with the Liu family."

There were more than a dozen letters, and the three of them checked them one by one. They found that there were no letters from the Liu family, but only invitations.

The Liu family was indeed cautious and careful, and did not leave any physical evidence.

"I think it should be the 'letter of proof' your master mentioned before. It doesn't seem to have anything useful."

When Tian Jing was confronting Yang Yiyi, she said that the disciples who had gone down the mountain in recent years had sent letters back. This should be it.

Li Yingluo frowned and said:

"I don't know much about handwriting recognition, but I can see that the handwriting on three of the letters is somewhat similar."

"Show it to your senior sister tomorrow. What's in the other box?" Yang Yiyi opened another box. On the top could be seen stacked land deeds and other items. This was the source of funds for the Qingshan Sect.

After all, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Why practice martial arts if you can't even afford to eat?

Below the land title deed, there is a very old thread-bound book with "Qingshanmenzhi" written on the cover.

I flipped through a few pages and found that they were all records left by successive masters, such as accepting a disciple with extraordinary qualifications, participating in a certain major event to make the sect famous, and so on.

It is probably something like the leader's notes, which only records the important events within the sect.

I continued to flip through the pages and saw that the handwriting on one page was much newer than the one next to it. It should have been left by Tian Jing.

At first, it was similar to the records of other masters, with things like the number of disciples. When I turned another page, I saw a diamond-shaped object drawn on it, with divine patterns drawn on the surface with a vermilion pen.

"Brother Li, this..."

"It looks like the Skyrock to me."

Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping also knew that Li Chengxi was looking for the Sky-lifting Stone again, but this was the first time they saw what it looked like.

Below the simple diagram on this page, there are representative notes left by Tian Jing.

"This object is called the Sky-supporting Stone. It is impervious to swords and spears, and is impervious to water and fire. It is the hardest and strongest object in the world, and cannot be destroyed by ordinary forces. I have heard rumors that this object can remove hair and cleanse the marrow, change the world, and if you get one, you can glorify our Qingshan Sect. But the next generation of sect leaders should remember that this object is closely related to the great masters in the world. If the news leaks out, it may be a disaster for your life."

After listening to Yang Yiyi finish reading this, the three of them looked at Li Chengxi, or rather, at the jade sceptre floating in the air.

"Don't look at me. I don't know either."

The Sky-lifting Stone can indeed remove hair and cleanse the marrow. To put it bluntly, it can add points to people.

But apart from the "Book of the Sky" controlled by Li Chengxi, is there anyone else who can use it?
The notes left by Tian Jing clearly stated that "this item is closely related to the great masters in the world." Is it possible that these great masters became masters because of the help of the Sky-lifting Stone?
If so, the existence of the Sky-supporting Stone is likely to be a little-known secret in the martial arts world, and the news has been blocked by the top masters.

After all, if it was a martial arts treasure like the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre, it would have been a hot topic long ago, and everyone, whether they were from the martial arts world or not, would have surely heard of it.

But neither Li Yingluo nor Zheng Yinping had ever heard of such a thing as the Sky-supporting Stone.

Combined with the recent discovery of a hidden Sky-supporting Stone in the Three Pure Ones statue at Podao Temple, if no one knew what this thing was used for, there would certainly be no need to hide it so carefully.

Could it be that someone in the Taoist temple had accidentally discovered the secret of the Sky-supporting Stone like Tian Jing, and was lucky enough to find a piece, but he didn't know how to use it, so he had to put it away carefully.

It is said that the area near Qingyun Mountain is already the fringe of the martial arts world. Apart from the small Qingshan Sect, there are no other sects around. The fact that one has to be so careful even in such a remote place shows that once this thing appears in the world, it will definitely cause big trouble.

The existence of the Sky-supporting Stone is most likely a secret circulated only among large sects or masters, and judging from Tian Jing's wording, they have no intention of sharing this secret.

Let’s not talk about how they used the Sky-supporting Stone. Li Chengxi had originally planned to wait until he arrived in a big city to inquire about the Sky-supporting Stone. Fortunately, he discovered it early. If he had rashly let Yang Yiyi go to inquire about it, it might have brought disaster upon herself.

Seeing that Li Chengxi remained silent, Yang Yiyi asked with concern:
"Brother Li? What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing."

The three of them saw Yugui turn around, as if Li Chengxi was facing them:
"Although Tian Jing is not a very good person, what she recorded may still be accurate. Remember that the matter regarding the Sky-lifting Stone must not be spread to others, otherwise it will bring disaster."
