A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

The Cave at Siguo Cliff.

Lu Ming discovered the hidden passage after half an hour of searching; inside the cave was a natural spring. The spring water seeped out from the stone wall and flowed down to form a small pool.

The walls beside it were covered with dense vines. After thrusting a few times with my sword, the feel of the blows was clearly different from the solid stone walls outside.

He channeled his inner strength and slammed his palm out, unleashing a terrifying palm strike with the force of a thousand pounds amplified by his inner power.

Boom!

The five- or six-inch-thick layer of the stone wall was instantly pierced through, and with another palm strike, the already thin layer was pierced through even more instantly.

The interior was pitch black and smelled musty.

The palm strike sent in a gust of wind, expelling the foul air. The air was mixed with the stench of rotting corpses and contained some toxins.

For ordinary disciples, a single mistake could lead to poisoning, requiring them to use their internal energy to expel the toxins.

Lu Ming was able to step inside; the toxin had no effect on him whatsoever.

The inner cave was even darker and deeper; several torches were placed inside before one could see clearly what was inside.

Scattered on the ground were various weapons, including swords, axes, and spears. Next to the weapons were skeletons, which had shown signs of calcification due to the erosion of time and would soon turn into dust and completely blend into the soil.

Continuing forward, the secret cave was quite long, and after walking for a short while, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

On the rock wall are five simple pictures and characters carved with weapons, which actually record the lost secret techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect!

The Huashan School's Xiyi Swordplay, the Hengshan School's Five Divine Swordplay, the Songshan School's Wanyue Chaozong, the Hengshan School's Wanhua Swordplay, and the Taishan School's Seven Stars Falling from the Sky.

If it were just a unique skill, it wouldn't be surprising. What's even more surprising is that next to these sword technique murals are written instructions on how to counter them.

Those who were besieged here were the ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect, each possessing the strength of a grandmaster. Trapped in the cave by the Five Mountains Sword Sect's schemes, they were unable to escape and starved to death. Before their deaths, they carved out methods to break the sword techniques, protesting in this silent way.

[Learned the following techniques: Xi Yi Swordplay (modified), Wan Hua Swordplay (modified), Wan Yue Chao Zong (modified), Heng Shan Five Divine Swords (modified), and Seven Stars Falling from the Sky (modified)]

With the 'self-taught' attribute, all prerequisites for martial arts are ignored; he can learn them after just one viewing.

These advanced sword techniques have all reached Grade B quality and are the most quintessential moves of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

There aren't many martial arts techniques that can reach the A level. The B level is already considered the most prized possession of a second-rate sect. If you can master these sword techniques, you're guaranteed to be at least first-rate, and you have a great chance of becoming a grandmaster.

Many sword techniques have been lost to the outside world, and the moves that can be performed are all fragments, pieced together from various sources. There's always a sense of disjointedness when executing them, which is one reason for the gradual decline of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Lu Ming demonstrated the Xi Yi Sword Technique, emphasizing speed and using Qi to control the sword to increase speed, thus compensating for the Qi Sect's lack of instantaneous burst power.

Looking at the walls on both sides, they had already been cut deep into the interior by the sword energy. This was just a demonstration, and the power was already so astonishing!

Unlike the murals, it was only when I focused my attention on the panel that I realized what was going on.

It turns out that the entry removed all the original flaws of these sword techniques, and the quality was upgraded from Grade B to Grade A!

"Wow, five top-tier sword techniques at once! This is a blessing in disguise!"

"These sword techniques should be enough to exchange with Yue Buqun. They're enough to marry my senior sister, and there's even a surplus."

Looking down at his little brother, Lu Ming sighed, "It seems the days of feasting are not far off. Next, I need to find a way to learn more advanced cultivation techniques. Only then will I have the confidence to roam the martial world."

Having witnessed Lu Xiaofeng's martial arts skills, he realized that he still had a long way to go. This made him eager to improve himself, as many of the elders of the Sun Moon Sect were at the Grandmaster level.

If even the elders are grandmasters, just how strong is Dongfang Bubai?

He didn't even dare to think about it; he didn't want to die after trying it.

"Junior brother, where are you? I have good news for you!"

Yue Lingshan's voice came from outside, filled with undisguised joy.

Lu Ming sheathed his longsword, emerged from the secret cave, embraced his senior sister, and kissed her deeply.

"Hmm!"

They finally separated after a long while. Yue Lingshan's eyes were still dreamy, and she lightly patted him with her delicate hand, like a mischievous, excited punch: "You're so annoying! I had good news to tell you, and you just come and tease me!"

Feeling the affection of the beauty in his arms, Lu Ming pinched her delicate, snow-white chin and lifted her head.

"I also have good news for you: I'm confident I can get my master to betroth you to me!"

"Really! I also wanted to tell you that Daddy told you to go find him after you've finished your assessment, and he'll agree to marry me!"

"Maybe this time we can get it done earlier, hehe. Senior sister, let's kiss a little longer!"

"Hate!"

After a long tender moment, Lu Ming listened to Yue Lingshan recount what had happened that day, revealing that the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill had taken effect.

"I understand. Senior Sister, you go back first. Remember to practice your skills. The effects of the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill are still there, so take this opportunity to practice more. Don't rush things."

"Cultivate step by step, accumulating inner strength until you break through naturally. With me here, you can become a Grandmaster even while lying down."

Yue Lingshan nodded gently, her jade-like hand caressing her lover's cheek, her eyes filled with a hazy, loving gaze.

"Yes, I'll listen to my junior brother."

Based on his skill with the Minor Rejuvenation Pill, she already believed that this junior brother had such abilities.

Is a physician who can concoct elixirs important?

Just look at Ping Yizhi, a member of the Sun Moon Sect. Even the elders of Wudang and Shaolin treated him with courtesy and never mentioned that he was a member of the demonic sect.

Many diseases that cannot be cured by Ping Yizhi can be cured. In particular, injuries to martial artists can be healed even if there is foreign internal energy in their body.

If the Huashan Sect had disciples who became such renowned physicians, it wouldn't be impossible for them to rise to the ranks of first-rate sects. Even if they couldn't, Zuo Lengchan wouldn't dare to covet the Huashan Sect; he could only offer kind words of advice, and certainly wouldn't dare to kill anyone again.

When a renowned doctor announces his intention to kill, countless people will rush to his aid, leaving even the Songshan Sect in a state of utter chaos.

Lu Ming currently lacks precious medicinal herbs. If he could unlock the Homestead entry and have his own homestead to cultivate rare medicinal herbs, his cultivation speed would definitely be further improved.

He can take flight, and his wives and concubines can enjoy the same convenience. With a higher cultivation level, lifespan will be extended, and one can maintain a youthful appearance like a young woman in her prime.

Empress Dowager Li Qiushui of Western Xia and Wu Xingyun, the Child Granny of Tianshan, aren't they all like this?

But looking at them, who could tell their age?

Bah! What do you mean by "well-maintained"? You're just lusting after other people's bodies! Show your sword!

"Junior sister, you should go back first. I'll practice my sword for a while; I need your help with something in a couple of days!"

"Hehe, junior brother, you're full, but I haven't eaten yet!"

Yue Lingshan smiled charmingly and slowly squatted down as she spoke.

Lu Ming: "??!!"
