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

Ding Minjun quickly betrayed her master. In the original story, she was jealous, stingy, and mean-spirited, but after being taken advantage of and suppressed by powerful forces, she quickly turned into a loyal follower.

Investing requires speed and weight; going all in is a form of wisdom. Ding Minjun, having figured this out, went all in, betting everything on Lu Ming not being a heartless man.

If she has many sisters in the future, she can become an elder and have a higher status. Hmph, back then she'll still be the first wife!

It's nice to dream, please continue next time.

It turns out that so many people gathered in Baoding Prefecture this time because the Plum Blossom Thief had returned to the martial arts world. Ten years ago, he stirred up a bloody storm in the martial arts world, robbing people of their wealth and women, harming officials and wealthy merchants, and killing martial arts masters.

They committed all sorts of evil deeds and were utterly ruthless. After slaughtering the village, they even set fire to the bodies to cover up the crime, making them utterly despicable and arousing the wrath of both gods and men.

Even the wife and daughters of Prince Xun Gui were brutally murdered, which angered the Great Wei Kingdom, leading to their pursuit. They were severely injured by the then-Young Li Tan Hua before disappearing without a trace.

Recently, they have reappeared, and all the victims they kill have five plum blossom-shaped bloodstains on their bodies, hence the name "Plum Blossom Thief".

This time, the main purpose is to avenge Li Tanhua, targeting his cousin. No one has ever seen the Plum Blossom Thief; those who have are all dead.

They come and go without a trace, leaving even the legendary Li Xunhuan helpless. That's why he issued a challenge to find a husband through martial arts. He wanted to entrust his cousin, Lin Shiyin, to a capable person and offer his ancestral home, Li Garden, as her dowry.

According to information gathered by Ding Minjun, Li Xunhuan also has a sworn brother, Long Xiaoyun, who is infatuated with Lin Shiyin. However, due to his weak strength, he cannot protect her, so Li Xunhuan has excluded him from the list of people to entrust with her.

Lu Ming rubbed his chin. No wonder Lu Xiaofeng had said before that Li Xunhuan wanted to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband. It turned out that he had offended someone he shouldn't have.

This proves the importance of last-hitting; failing to kill a snake once can lead to being plagued by it for ten years.

Ding Minjun's eyes were alluring as she couldn't help but lightly bite him: "You bad man, are you also going to the martial arts contest to find a husband? That Plum Blossom Bandit is no pushover. Even the experts from the Six Doors and the Dragon Guard Manor couldn't do anything to him. If you marry Lin Shiyin, you'll only bring trouble to the Huashan Sect."

That's true. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If you take something that doesn't belong to you, it will eventually be taken away.

Lu Ming's eyes lit up. Putting aside the stunningly beautiful Lin Shiyin, he wondered if the Li Garden, as part of the dowry, could trigger any related keywords about the manor.

The manor in the game is incredibly functional; one hour of rest in the main house is equivalent to four hours outside. All kinds of buildings and facilities have their own unique uses, and the most powerful of all are the Enlightenment Forest Stele and the back mountain.

The Enlightenment Forest Stele allows you to fuse and enhance your learned martial arts, retaining their original attributes and taking them to the next level. If you upgrade it to its peak, you can even combine Grade A techniques into a Supreme-grade technique!

The back mountain is a source of materials, ranging from hemostatic herbs to Tian Shan snow lotus, from iron ore to meteorites, from grasshoppers to water beetles, and much more. It has everything you could want. After gathering them, you can cultivate them for a period of time and then continue gathering them.

Owning a manor is like acquiring a treasure trove of sustainable resources. More importantly, without proper authorization, the manor is inaccessible, making it the perfect place to keep a mistress hidden away!

"We have to go!"

Lu Ming grinned mischievously and pinched the plump sand dune: "With this dowry, I can provide you with better pills, weapons, and cultivation techniques! You are my woman, and as long as you don't betray me, I will make you the happiest woman."

Looking at the handsome face before her, so otherworldly and ethereal, Ding Minjun was somewhat captivated. She offered him a sweet kiss: "If you betray me, I'll die right here! Humph! You bad guy, it's good to have a few more sisters, otherwise, who can stand someone as tough as a calf!"

"Also, you need to tell my master about my relationship with Junior Sister Zhou. The Emei Sect regularly checks for virginity marks, and it will be very troublesome if they're gone."

Even bad women have their uses; as long as they focus their hearts on themselves, that's enough.

Lu Ming's desire to become stronger has never diminished. Having witnessed the strength of grandmasters like Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, what about those even stronger than them?

In the south of the city, there is the Wendi Temple, a Taoist temple of considerable size, which is located on a busy street despite being a Taoist temple.

Lu Ming stood in front of the temple, looking at the bustling incense offerings: "It seems the environment is quite nice, with incense burning continuously. No wonder the remnants of the Sword Sect are so carefree, living much better than the Huashan Sect."

Ding Minjun rolled her eyes playfully beside her. The Five Mountains Sword Sects had a decent reputation in Sichuan, but outside of Sichuan, they were no match for the Emei Sect. Compared to the Emei Sect, they were no different from country bumpkins.

If it weren't for the long-standing good relationship between the Hengshan Sect and the Emei Sect, they might not even know what the Huashan Sect was.

As for Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect? What kind of roadside is that?

Upon entering the temple, one is greeted by a large incense burner standing in front of the main hall, densely filled with incense sticks and candles, emitting wisps of smoke.

The entire temple was filled with the rich aroma of incense. Although it wasn't a special holiday, there were still quite a few worshippers in the temple.

Some hold incense and candles and pray solemnly, while others wander around the temple in groups of three or five, occasionally chatting with the Taoist priests about Taoist doctrines.

Lu Ming did not go to pay homage. Sang San Niang told him that two masters from the Huashan Sword Sect were hidden here, and they were also the murderers who wiped out the Golden Lion Escort Agency.

When the Huashan Sect split up, some of the Sword Sect disciples left, while others went into seclusion. Some went to the Central Plains to establish the Huashan Sect, some hid deep in the mountains to practice swordsmanship, and others retired to the countryside.

Some people have always kept their eyes on Mount Hua, hoping to one day return to challenge it and seize its territory.

Yue Buqun is a typical example of rigid thinking, insisting on the Qi Sect as the primary school. He greatly despises the Sword Sect's sword techniques, forbidding his disciples from practicing them, while he himself secretly learned the Sword Sect's ultimate skills.

The Qi cultivation method is slow to develop, while the sword method is quick to master; ultimately, they only work together to achieve the desired effect. Scattered, it's a pile of dung; gathered, it's a sky full of stars.

Ding Minjun didn't know what the other party wanted to do. The Emei Sect didn't follow Taoism and leaned somewhat towards Buddhism. She frowned slightly, her legs still feeling a bit weak. If a fight really broke out, she wouldn't be able to help much.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Lu Ming. This scoundrel husband of hers was like a bull, always yelling about the supermarket.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Stop thinking about personal matters, we'll talk about it tonight."

Ding Minjun: !!!

Who was it that was thinking this? They were lazing around in the morning, making her suffer, and now they're turning around and criticizing her. Do they even have the nerve to say that?

After wandering around the temple, Ding Minjun was getting impatient. Looking at the calm and collected Lu Ming, she felt like the emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuch was.

Lu Ming squeezed her small hand and smiled, "Don't rush, do you know what's different about the hands of people who practice swordsmanship year-round?"

Ding Minjun blushed slightly but did not shy away: "Unless you take special care of your hands, you will have calluses. Especially on the web of your thumb and forefinger, the calluses will be particularly noticeable."

"That's right, and so is walking posture. A swordsman needs to walk steadily to generate power, and his center of gravity should be low so that he can strike at any time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Jiao Moujun's classic Li Xunhuan appear, followed by a beautiful woman with a round and pretty face, wearing a folding fan as a headdress!

Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin!
