Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

Lin Ye then took the Dog-Beating Stick and demonstrated the Thirty-Six Forms of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique from beginning to end. When he reached the thirty-sixth move, "No Dogs Under Heaven," he stopped and stood still.

Shi Huolong stared blankly for a long time, his brows furrowing slightly.

"good!"

"good!"

"good!"

He said "good" three times in a row.

Having laughed last, he straightened his expression and said, "Brother Lin, you may now depart."

"Boss, aren't you coming with me?"

"If I go like this, won't people laugh at me? Go ahead, the Beggars' Sect will depend on you from now on."

Lin Ye nodded, bid farewell to the Shi couple, Er Shi Huolong, and then their little girl, Shi Hongshi, appeared out of nowhere and nestled against her parents.

"Brother Lin, will you come back?"

Lin Ye treated her father and often played with her, which made her very reluctant to part with him.

"Um."

Lin Ye patted her head, turned and left. As he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back and said:

"Chief, it's extremely dangerous outside. You'd better go back to the gang."

Lin Ye actually wanted to warn him to avoid falling victim to Cheng Kun's clutches, but he couldn't say it outright because he was always out there and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't run into Cheng Kun someday.

"Don't worry, I'll go back once I'm feeling better. Also, Brother Lin Ye, you're the gang leader now, so don't call me gang leader anymore."

Lin Ye nodded and said, "Brother Shi, farewell."

After saying goodbye to Shi Huolong, just as I was about to leave, I remembered Doctor Hao.

Speaking of Dr. Hao, he has often talked to me about medical topics these past few days.

It must be said that he was a good doctor, but there are also differences in talent among doctors. The achievements of Butterfly Valley Physician Hu Qingniu are something he could never reach in his lifetime.

Lin Ye had a good impression of him, so he simply tossed him a handwritten medical book.

Dr. Hao flipped through a few pages, feeling as if he had found a treasure. He looked up to express his gratitude, but Lin Ye had already gone far away.

Lin Ye and two Beggars' Sect disciples each rode a fine horse, and the three of them hurried towards the Ming Cult headquarters without stopping.

The three of them endured wind and rain, traveling day and night, and in a few days, they arrived in Junzhou.

Lin Ye reined in his horse and asked, "Which territory are we in now?"

One of the disciples said, "Chief, we have arrived in Junzhou. Wudang Mountain is not far ahead."

Lin Ye frowned and pondered. He had said that he would deliver the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment to Zhang Wuji's third senior uncle, Yu Daiyan, on the way, but he had never had the chance. Now that he was passing by today, he might as well deliver it there. It wouldn't take much time anyway.

He then said, "You all go ahead and meet up with the elders. I will arrive shortly after."

"Yes."

The two disciples were ordered to leave.

Lin Ye turned his horse around and headed towards Wudang Mountain. In less than half an hour, he had arrived at Wudang Mountain.

When the young Taoist from Wudang Mountain inquired about his origins, Lin Ye only said that he was visiting as the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

The two young Taoist disciples were taken aback, their eyes filled with astonishment. Although they had never seen the Beggar Clan leader before, his youth was a great surprise to them.

However, since the leader of the gang was personally visiting, they dared not be negligent. If it were true, their master and senior uncles would blame them for not treating their guests well, which would damage the reputation of Wudang.

One of the boys asked him to wait a moment in the waiting pavilion outside the gate, while another boy hurried back to report.

At this time, the five heroes of Wudang, including Song Yuanqiao, led their disciples out of the mountain gate to fight against the Demonic Sect. Master Zhang Sanfeng went into seclusion to cultivate, and Yu Daiyan took charge of Wudang.

Just as the young Taoist was about to announce his arrival, Lin Ye said, "No need."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Black Jade Broken Skin Ointment from his bosom.

"I have been entrusted by an old friend to deliver this medicine. This Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment is a holy medicine for external injuries, and it is specially used to treat the severance of tendons and veins in the hands and feet. Take it back and give it to Yu Sanxia."

He handed it to the young Taoist priest, paid it no further attention, and turned to leave.

The young Taoist took it blankly, about to say something, but Lin Ye kept walking and soon his figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

The young Taoist priest came to his senses and hurriedly ran towards the mountain gate. He quickly arrived at Yu Daiyan's study and reported the situation to Yu Daiyan, saying that someone claiming to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect had come to deliver medicine.

Then he handed him the black jade liniment.

Upon hearing this, Yu Daiyan frowned secretly.

When he was still alive, he roamed the martial arts world and had heard of the Beggar Clan leader, Shi Huolong, but he was not Lin Ye.

Could it be that while I've been slumped in my chair for over ten years, the Beggars' Sect leader has changed? Why haven't I heard my brothers mention this?

Who was that old friend that person was referring to?

After examining the medicine bottle for a moment, Yu Daiyan opened the cloth strip and smelled it, still puzzled.

Just then, a tall, robust old man appeared at the door.

It was Zhang Sanfeng who had emerged from seclusion.

"Master."

"Daiyan, what happened?"

When Zhang Sanfeng asked this question, the young Taoist priest recounted the events that had just occurred.

Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly, took the medicine bottle from Yu Daiyan's hand, sniffed it as well, and asked the young Taoist:

"Where is that person?"

"Reporting to Grand Master, that person handed me the medicine and left."

After a moment's thought, Zhang Sanfeng slipped out the door and, with a few leaps, reached the foot of the mountain, where he saw a young man about to ride away on horseback.

Zhang Sanfeng gathered his inner energy again, and with a leap, he landed in front of the boy.

Lin Ye reined in his horse, quite surprised. He sensed someone behind him and was about to turn around when the person used their lightness skill again to leap in front of him.

He was an old man with white temples and a rosy complexion, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

"Wudang's Cloud Ladder Leap... Zhang Sanfeng..."

Lin Ye's mind raced, and he realized who the newcomer was. Who else in the world possessed such internal strength and lightness skills besides Zhang Sanfeng?

Zhang Sanfeng landed in front of Lin Ye, flicked his whisk, and chuckled:

"Young friend, since you've come to visit, why not come inside and have a seat?"

Lin Ye dismounted. "Senior, could you perhaps be Master Zhang?"

"Exactly."

Lin Ye cupped his hands in greeting: "Junior Lin Ye of the Beggar Clan greets the venerable one."

Zhang Sanfeng was different from these martial artists; he was already a cultivator of immortality. Since founding his sect, he had almost never left the mountain, spending his days in seclusion, pursuing a higher realm.

They only took Zhang Wuji on his journey when they were searching for a cure for the poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm.

It's highly unusual that he's come down the mountain himself now.

Zhang Sanfeng bowed slightly in return, then took out the medicine bottle that Lin Ye had given to the young Taoist, and asked:

"Benefactor, did you give this medicine to your disciple?"

"Exactly."

"What kind of medicine is this? And who is this old friend you mentioned?"

"That is your grand-disciple, Zhang Wuji."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng was momentarily stunned. No matter how calm his mind was, hearing the news of his beloved grandson inevitably stirred his emotions.

Many years ago, he handed Zhang Wuji over to Chang Yuchun of the Ming Cult, asking him to take Wuji to Hu Qingniu, the Physician of Butterfly Valley, to treat the cold poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm.

This separation lasted for several years. During that time, he sent his apprentice Zhang Songxi and others to visit him, but when Zhang Songxi arrived, Butterfly Valley was already deserted and dilapidated. Since then, he has lost track of his beloved grandson.

He only knew that Zhang Wuji was dead. Whenever he thought of it, he couldn't help but blame himself and sigh that he had let Zhang Cuishan down and failed to take good care of his son.
