The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 26 Mingyu Gong

After spending an hour, I successfully converted the cultivation technique.

The white jade beauty still guided a wisp of Fang Yunhua's internal energy to begin circulating within its statue.

One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles, all the way to the ninth circle, Fang Yunhua vaguely realized that this was pointing out to him the internal energy circulation route of the nine levels of the Mingyu Gong. With his photographic memory and talent for comprehension, he also deeply memorized this circulation method.

He then discovered a sad truth.

That was the "Baoyuan Jin" that he had cultivated for more than ten years. When it was transformed into the internal energy of the "Jiangmo Xinfa" (Demon Subduing Heart Method), it had already suffered considerable losses in order to be refined into a higher quality. Now, when it was transformed into the top-level divine skill "Mingyu Gong" (Bright Jade Skill), the residual impurities after being purified again were completely swept away.

His current level of internal energy is only equivalent to the fourth level of Mingyu Gong.

However, when I think of the records about the Mingyu Gong, it is mentioned that the sixth level is enough to compete with the top masters of the world, the eighth level of the Supreme Forgetfulness realm is already invincible, and the ninth level is definitely the ceiling level of Gu Long's martial arts world.

At this point, he also felt that his fourth-level skill might not be so bad after all.

In any case, the worldview of Gu Long's martial arts world is that even the strongest masters can be assassinated. His swordsmanship is excellent. After realizing his true nature of letting go, he had a vague premonition that he was about to grasp the 'intention' that Ku Mei mentioned.

Then, after completing another cycle of circulation and getting up, he discovered that the white jade beauty had shattered into pieces.

Jin Lingzhi, who had been protecting him, asked excitedly.

"Well! Well! There really is a secret!"

"Yes, it is an internal skill, much, much stronger than the one of my Huashan Sect."

As for the name "Mingyu Gong", Fang Yunhua did not mention it, after all, he was only guessing.

Moreover, although records of the Four Great Divine Skills have disappeared from the martial arts world, if someone were to accidentally reveal that they possess one of them, the Huashan Sect, which is clearly not yet fully established, would likely be crushed by those greedy martial artists.

Jin Lingzhi acted as if she had learned the "Mingyu Gong" herself, her face flushed. Just as she was about to say something, her expression turned serious.

"You absolutely must not tell anyone about this. Even though we don't know what kind of internal energy it is, if you can say that it is stronger than the internal energy of the Huashan Sect, one of the seven major sects, then if word gets out, it will definitely arouse the covetousness of countless people!"

And this white jade beauty is another example. It is one of the four treasures of the capital. Although many people no longer take the secrets of these four treasures seriously, with you as a ready example, it may not cause much trouble.

My grandmother repeatedly told me the lesson of "possessing a treasure is a crime" since I was a child!

Fang Yunhua was somewhat impressed with Jin Lingzhi. After all, she had always acted a bit simple-minded and had always been arrogant. If it weren't for his consideration for her, she would definitely be a loser.

"Hey! What do you mean by that look I'm giving you?!"

Fang Yunhua placed the shards of the broken white jade beauty into a brocade box and replied with a smile.

"I am amazed by my wife's wisdom and I am truly grateful for her reminder."

"My dear wife, my dear wife, if you're so capable, go ahead and propose marriage, and see if I dare to marry you!"

Jin Lingzhi's tone was fierce, but her smiling eyes clearly showed she was overjoyed. Fang Yunhua could only smile obediently and remain silent.
-
What should have been another date day passed quietly as Fang Yunhua familiarized himself with the new cultivation technique.

Jin Lingzhi had no complaints about this, because she was already tired of exploring the capital. The key was who was by her side. Even though she was just protecting Fang Yunhua's cultivation, she felt very happy.

At this moment, rumors also began to circulate in the capital city, the most virtuous place in China.

Firstly, Fang Yunhua has officially assumed the position of successor of the Huashan Sect, namely, the young master of the Huashan Sect.

This incident did not cause a great stir, as it was already expected by many people in the martial arts world. After all, the name of this amorous young master was actually much more famous than that of the Huashan Sect, which had been dormant in recent years.

Furthermore, it's obvious to everyone that the growth and expansion of the Huashan Sect is closely related to this young sect leader, Fang. If he isn't chosen as the successor, why would Gao Yanan be chosen instead?

The other party's reputation as the "Graceful Female Swordsman" is not small, but what people in the martial arts world talk about even more is the gossip about her and Hu Tiehua, the chivalrous bandit from Xiaoxiang. She is a representative of the "love-struck" type who pursued a man for several years.

If she were to replace Fang Yunhua, the entire Huashan Sect would likely set up a separate faction the very next day.

Therefore, Fang Yunhua becoming the young leader of the Huashan Sect is not really a major event worth discussing. It would be more interesting to discuss the reasons behind it if he didn't become the young leader.

And this second rumor just happens to satisfy the gossip-loving mentality of the general public.

That was the truth about the death of Ren Ci, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect.

It is not explicitly stated here that the current leader of the Beggars' Sect, Nangong Ling, was responsible.

Instead, based on his sudden death, they presented many dubious arguments.

Firstly, before his death, Ren Ci had been reducing his public appearances in front of the Beggars' Sect elders for several years.

Secondly, few people actually saw Ren Ci's body. His funeral was handled entirely by Nangong Ling, and the cause of death was also determined by Nangong Ling.

Finally, the widow of this former leader of the Beggars' Sect, like Ren Ci, rarely appeared in front of the Beggars' Sect disciples in the years before Ren Ci's death, and after Ren Ci's death, she also maintained an extremely low-key lifestyle.

Nangong Ling was responsible for all aspects of daily life, including taking care of household chores and purchasing miscellaneous items.

Is this normal?
For public opinion to spread most quickly, it needs to be discussed from both positive and negative perspectives.

If one fixates on a single thing, such as Fang Yunhua becoming the young leader of the Huashan Sect, a fact that everyone with eyes can see is reasonable and there is nothing to refute even in casual conversation, then its popularity will not last long.

Therefore, it's more appropriate to directly smear Nangong Ling's reputation and guide public opinion in the early stages to let the public discuss the matter first, thus generating buzz for the later bombshell.

Fang Yunhua, who was strolling around the streets with Jin Lingzhi today, noticed that this rumor had gradually overshadowed the discussion about Chu Liuxiang's attempt to steal treasure from the Huashan Sect a few days ago, which he had defeated.

While these people in the martial arts world were concerned about the cause of Ren Ci's death, they also began to gossip about Nangong Ling and Ren Ci's widow, because the relationship between the two was easy for the uninformed masses to imagine.

These days, rumors with a hint of romance are the most popular to spread among the general public; otherwise, his reputation as a romantic playboy wouldn't have been established so easily.
