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

Early the next morning.

The family of three continued to practice their swordsmanship on Chaoyang Peak as usual.

The three siblings, master and apprentice, are now making different progress.

Although Yue Buqun's Kanli Pill has already taken effect, it seems to still have residual effects...

Or perhaps Kanli Dan changed his aptitude?

Anyway, since then, Yue Buqun's progress in Zixia Divine Skill has accelerated by three points compared to before.

Furthermore, the long-lost Qi Sect Supreme Sword Technique of the Huashan Sect, the Xiyi Sword Technique, perfectly complements the Zixia Divine Skill.

Using movement to control stillness, and practicing dynamic exercises, is more efficient than meditating cross-legged in the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion.

Ning Zhongze diligently studied the Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords.

She also tried to learn Yue Buqun's Zixia Divine Skill, but although she wasn't impulsive, she was still young.

With his mind in turmoil, he couldn't calm down, so after trying it once, he wisely gave up and continued to use Hunyuan Gong to deduce the lost sword techniques of Mount Hua.

His foundation in Hunyuan Gong is also quite remarkable.

It is worth noting that in later generations, there was a master named Yuan from the Huashan Sect who became the number one master in the world by relying on the Hunyuan Gong as his foundation.

Hua Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was diligently practicing the basic sword techniques of Mount Hua.

At first, her teaching of Ning Zhongze was somewhat perfunctory, relying on her own talent and vision to get by.

But after witnessing Yue Buqun's personal display of the Xi Yi Sword Technique and Ning Zhongze's Jade Maiden Nineteen Swords,

She then realized that Ning Zhongze's previous words were not a lie.

The Huashan sword techniques are inherited from one lineage. The most basic sword techniques may seem simple, but they are actually the foundation of these profound sword techniques.

While these advanced sword techniques, when mastered to their highest level, may not be as ethereal and varied as the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng, they are superior in that they combine internal and external strengths, giving them an additional advantage.

Therefore, after Hua Zhenzhen discovered that this strange Huashan Sect's lineage was no weaker than the Huashan Sect she knew, and even surpassed it in both internal and external cultivation, it was still quite remarkable.

She then began to seriously study the basic sword techniques of Mount Hua, and in the process, deduced the Nineteen Jade Maiden Swords...

Until the hour of Si (9-11 AM).

The three of them then slowly sheathed their swords and returned to the mountain.

Down the mountain, Wang Ma had already prepared the meal and said with a cheerful smile, "Today I'm making the young lady's favorite 'rice noodles.' I specially kneaded the dough last night and let it rest in oil overnight, so it's very chewy."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wang."

Hua Zhenzhen had been practicing her sword all morning and was indeed very hungry.

He immediately sat obediently at the dining table, knees together, hands on his knees, looking as well-behaved as a child waiting for his mother to serve the meal.

Preparing the noodles in advance is tedious, but cooking them is very simple.

The noodles are stretched, put into the pot, seasoned with spicy spices, and then sizzled with hot oil. The rich aroma of the noodles combined with the pungent smell of cooked garlic creates the most tempting spicy flavor.

And this kind of spiciness, in this cold, snowy place, is something even the gods wouldn't trade for a bowl of it.

When Hua Zhenzhen saw Wang Ma carrying a huge bowl that was bigger than her face, an expectant smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Although she was just a disciple, the three of them got along like a family of three. Whenever there was something good, she was always the first to eat it. Hua Zhenzhen wasn't used to it at first, but after so long, she got used to it.

Just as he reached out to take it, Yue Buqun suddenly grabbed his wrist and pressed him down.

Hua Zhenzhen was taken aback and was about to speak when Yue Buqun stopped her with a look.

He smiled and said, "Wang Ma, Zhenzhen isn't feeling well today, so she should drink something warm. There are some chives in the vegetable field over there, could you please make her some chive dumpling soup?"

Hearing this, Wang Ma didn't take it seriously. She took out two large bowls of oil-splashed noodles from the pot and said with a smile, "Then you guys eat first, my noodles will be ready soon."

After saying that, he walked towards the vegetable field.

Yue Buqun merely gave a slight signal with his eyes, and Hua Zhenzhen's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Ning Zhongze's expression was also extremely solemn.

A moment later, Wang Ma came over with a bunch of chives and went to the kitchen, where thick white smoke was billowing out.

After a while, she came out with a bowl of hot dumpling soup.

Inside the pavilion, the tables and chairs were knocked over and the three people were lying unconscious in their seats... and most of the noodles in the large bowls had been eaten.

This dish has clearly been poisoned.

However, at this moment, the poison was taking effect.

Wang Ma stopped in her tracks and let out a soft sigh.

He said, "The poison I gave you is called 'Qi-Loss Powder.' After taking it, your limbs will become weak and powerless, but your consciousness will be exceptionally clear. This is a drug I specially prepared for those virtuous and unyielding women to toy with. I know its effects all too well. You can't fool me by pretending to be unconscious."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun, who was sitting at the head of the table and unconscious, paused slightly.

Then he slowly sat up straight.

His expression was normal, clearly indicating that the previous claims of feigned poisoning were false.

He sighed and said, "As expected, what's written in the book is all a lie. There are thousands of poisons in the world, and the reactions are all different. Pretending to be poisoned is fine for fooling laymen, but to fool you who know so much about poisons is really like showing off your limited skills before an expert."

Ning Zhongze slowly stood up.

His eyes were fixed on Wang Ma.

Hua Zhenzhen immediately blocked the entrance of Suoyoubuweixuan, cutting off Wang Ma's escape route.

She coldly retorted, "You're not Wang Ma!"

Wang Ma did not deny it, but slowly and deliberately peeled off the mask from her face.

His bones were also making a creaking sound.

In just a few breaths, his originally hunched body became half a head taller than Yue Buqun, and his physique was robust and powerful, making him a truly burly man.

His face was full of fleshy muscles, and his appearance was ferocious.

Where is even a trace of what Wang Ma described before?

His voice was no longer shrill as he asked, "May I ask where I gave myself away?"

Yue Buqun did not answer.

He simply repeated Hua Zhenzhen's words, "What did you do to Wang Ma?"

"This is her skin."

The man threw the skin off his face onto Yue Buqun's table, his tone playful and sarcastic as he exclaimed, "Although women are like wine, getting better with age, she's just too old, so I'm too lazy to spare her life. But you don't need to be angry, because she confessed everything, which can be considered a betrayal of you."

"Evil heretics!!!"

Hua Zhenzhen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but Yue Buqun stopped her.

Yue Buqun asked, "Since you are so unscrupulous, I suppose you wouldn't hesitate to tell me your honorable name?"

"You haven't answered my question yet!"

"They're footprints!"

Yue Buqun said, "I don't know if your lightness skill is not good, or if your body shape has changed after the disguise, making it inconvenient to use your lightness skill. In the freezing cold, your footprints are too deep, which does not seem to be the weight of Wang Ma."

"I see."

The man suddenly realized what was going on and sighed, "I hadn't noticed that. It seems I need to pay more attention to details when disguising myself in the future. But it doesn't matter. I drugged you so I could get you drunk and then enjoy these two girls right in front of you. Even if I break your limbs, I can still make you watch helplessly... What a waste! These two beauties, and it seems you didn't even get to eat one of them. I've gotten them all for free."

As he spoke, he slowly pulled out a gleaming black iron claw from his pocket. It resembled a ghostly claw and had an iron chain attached to its tail.

He licked his lips, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

Upon seeing this weapon, Yue Buqun's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "You are the Beggar Clan's White Jade Demon!"
