Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

Yue Buqun was placed in a stone chamber that was about twenty paces square.

It was still pitch black.

But Yue Buqun seemed to have grown accustomed to this tranquil darkness.

In this environment, he vaguely felt that his hearing seemed to have improved a bit...

It's like how hearing naturally improves after losing your eyesight, subtly and gradually.

Take out the small box and open it.

Measuring by hand, the inside is a porcelain bottle that is extremely tightly sealed.

It's not surprising, after all, Xiao Zhongren was probably a person from over a hundred years ago. If it hadn't been sealed so tightly, the pill would probably have already deteriorated and lost its efficacy.

Yue Buqun lied.

He actually knew about Xiao Zhongren.

He also knew that this thousand-armed scholar was actually a pair of twin brothers in the strict sense.

The two not only shared the same identity, but also the same martial arts manual.

They even married the same woman, and the three of them lived in perfect harmony, with the man on either side of them, making their lives exceptionally fulfilling.

Both brothers were accomplished in both literature and martial arts.

However, in the realm of medicine, one excels in healing, while the other excels in making poisons.

The Kanli Pill was created by the two brothers, who combined their expertise in both medicine and poison, through painstaking research and discussion.

This is because the Sea and Sky Secret Manual they cultivate also has extremely slow progress in the early stages.

In order to ensure the smooth flow of meridians, the Kanli Pill was refined to help break through the bottleneck.

From this perspective, the Kanli Pill is exactly what Yue Buqun is currently doing.

That's why he agreed without hesitation.

Open the bottle.

Inside the stone chamber, a strange fragrance immediately filled the air.

A pill about the size of a longan rolled into his palm.

The night was pitch black, and the color and shape of the pills could not be seen.

However, through the plot, Yue Buqun gained a considerable understanding of Yuan Suiyun.

Knowing that someone as proud as him would never personally teach others the Qingfeng Thirteen Styles, which even he himself had not mastered.

Otherwise, if others have any questions, wouldn't Yuan Suiyun's true colors be revealed if they ask him?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray him after using him and take his life with poison.

Yue Buqun opened his mouth and swallowed the Kanli Pill.

The pill entered the throat, initially without any noticeable effect, but as the medicinal power dissipated, the Purple Cloud True Qi within Yue Buqun instantly stirred.

It roared and surged, more than ten times faster than usual.

Yue Buqun, however, focused his mind and breath, practicing breathing exercises to nourish his Qi in his Dantian.

It was only because the surrounding environment was pitch black that Ning Zhongze was there; otherwise, she would probably be shocked to find that Yue Buqun's face was tinged with purple, even darker than when he was cultivating.

Moreover, the purple aura showed signs of spreading towards the neck.

The cultivation of the Purple Cloud Divine Skill has three stages.

These are the basic realms of the initial emergence of purple energy.

And the purple aura flowing in a higher realm, and the purple clouds piercing the top of the head in an even higher realm.

Now, with the help of the Kanli Pill, Yue Buqun has taken a giant leap forward, showing signs of breaking through to the Purple Qi Circulation stage.

Upon reaching this level, one's true energy can circulate freely along the meridians and exert force. Compared to before, when it required special circulation, it can now be generated spontaneously. At that time, ordinary masters will find it difficult to match.

According to Yue Buqun's estimate.

He himself cultivated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, and his progress was far faster than that of his predecessor.

Now, with the added aid of the Kanli Pill, allowing his Zixia Divine Skill to advance further, he finally has this opportunity.

If it were him in the original story, he would probably be in his thirties or forties, the prime of his life, to have made such progress!

At this moment, Yue Buqun was focused on his cultivation, forgetting himself and the world around him.

However, during cultivation, one could faintly hear some extremely subtle sounds.

The sounds resembled the friction of a zipline, extremely subtle conversations, and the careful, shuffling of footsteps.

Clearly, just as Yuan Suiyun said, he invited many martial arts masters from the Jianghu to come.

As it was its first opening, Bat Island was not well-known.

In order to get these martial arts masters to willingly endure the hardships of being tossed about by the waves, he seemed to have used quite a few tricks.

They kidnapped close relatives to coerce people, threatened them with their privacy, and some even drugged them and put them on a ship. When the people woke up, they found themselves on the vast ocean.

The boatmen and sailors were completely unaware of the situation and only knew to follow the course.

Once you reach Bat Island, there is no other way to go except to get off the island.

In the following days.

Yue Buqun witnessed almost every kind of hard and soft kidnapping.

While gaining a new perspective, I also gained a better understanding of the power of Wuzheng Manor.

Based on his speculation, Yuan Dongyuan, the owner of Wuzheng Villa, might not be unaware of what his son was doing.

After all, it would have been virtually impossible for Yuan Suiyun to achieve this without the full support of Wuzheng Manor.

It was only because Yuan Dongyuan doted on his son that he tacitly approved of it and even secretly helped him...

I guess his mentality is, "My son is blind, so what's wrong with letting him play around?"

However, all of this has nothing to do with Yue Buqun.

While he was consolidating his cultivation, another question began to linger in his mind.

[Plane overlap: 5%]

During his exchange with Yuan Suiyun, or rather, during the process of teaching Yuan Suiyun Qingfeng... no, Dugu... that doesn't seem right either, his overlap rate directly increased by 3% during the Dugu Thirteen Styles!

In this process, what medium did he activate?

Could it be that my overlap level is actually a "know-it-all" system?

You need to teach others martial arts to gain overlap.

Or is it a deceptive system that gains overlap by deceiving others?

Without any comparison, Yue Buqun couldn't glean any useful information...

But at least we have a direction to explore, which is something to be happy about.

According to Yue Buqun's deduction, as long as the overlap is high enough, the Huashan Sect might be able to return to the previous world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

People are all inherently base.

Previously, Yue Buqun felt that the sect was in turmoil, with only the brother and sister relying on each other for survival. They were surrounded by treacherous villains and were in dire financial straits, making life extremely difficult.

I'm afraid I'll have to tighten my belt around my junior sister's waistline in the future and make her suffer more.

But now that we've arrived in the Chu Liuxiang world...

Suddenly, he began to miss the world of Swordsman.

The reason is simple: wicked and wicked people have to pretend to be virtuous even when they're being prostitutes; they would never dare to openly commit murder.

Despite being in dire financial straits, at least they still have the entire Mount Hua as a fixed asset. Are they going to let themselves die from holding their pee?

But here, Shi Guanyin treated the Huashan Sect as a hunting ground, and would kill people at the drop of a hat.

The conversation with Yuan Suiyun seemed to be going smoothly, but why did he simply give away the Kanli Pill?

To put it bluntly, if Yue Buqun dared to disobey him in the slightest, he might just kill Yue Buqun on the spot, and Yue Buqun wouldn't even have the ability to fight back.

His humility and politeness were based on the premise that everything was under his control.

It's like how he forcefully and rudely invited so many martial arts heroes in one go. Why did he dare to be so unscrupulous?

This place is isolated overseas; if things really go wrong, he'll kill everyone here...

He doesn't need to kill them; he just needs to leave by boat, and these people will be trapped on the island to death, with no chance of escape whatsoever.

The world of Gu Long is truly a bunch of lunatics.

My humble and gentlemanly sword is too difficult to deal with.

For the next few days, Yue Buqun stayed indoors.

Even though his skills had greatly improved, he showed no arrogance whatsoever.

Instead, he diligently cultivated his internal strength every day...

I absolutely dare not practice swordsmanship.

He only performed the Thirteen Forms of the Hundred Transformations and Thousand Illusions in front of Yuan Suiyun once, and Yuan Suiyun overheard almost everything.

Yue Buqun didn't want him to learn any other sword techniques.

In the darkest of days, one can initially rely on their biological clock to control the situation, but gradually, the biological clock begins to become disordered.

After waking up, Yue Buqun began practicing the Zixia Divine Skill. When he was sleepy, he would fall asleep immediately, and he had completely lost the distinction between day and night.

During this time, he couldn't help but worry about Ning Zhongze's safety.

But upon closer examination, if the promise made by the young master of Wuzheng Manor was true, then Ning Zhongze's situation is probably safer than his current situation of dancing with venomous snakes.

He immediately put his mind back on his studies.

It was also at this time.

Ding Feng came to invite him...

"Sect Leader Yue, the Bat Island auction will begin in three hours. Please prepare accordingly; someone will come to fetch you shortly!"

"I see."

Yue Buqun stood up; he knew that all the leeks had arrived.
