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

Watching his daughter, arm in arm with Lu Ming, walk out of the main hall with a joyful expression, Yue Buqun shook his head, his eyes also filled with pride: "Junior sister, back then, Master asked me to restore Mount Hua. At that time, it was just the two of us. Now, Lu Ming has also made quite a name for himself. He Qi, who has come to learn from me recently, is showing a bit of the old image."

Ning Zhongze smiled, looking at the flourishing sect and her daughter's marriage to a good man: "Yes, this is all thanks to Senior Brother's perseverance over the years. Now that the Huashan Sect is quite large and prosperous, shouldn't we arrange for Chong'er and the others to go down the mountain for training and protect the merchants?"

Sects either operate businesses or collect fees as income. If they collect money, they must provide protection; otherwise, why should others pay?

Yue Buqun nodded slightly in agreement, put down his teacup, picked up the medicine bottle containing two Small Rejuvenation Pills. He had taken them last time, and his skills had improved considerably without any discomfort.

His alchemy skills were so exceptional that even outside of major sects, he would be treated as an honored guest. He was a gentlemanly swordsman, not a foolish one; he knew just how important Lu Ming was.

The other party learned the recipe from the Huashan Sect's collection of books. Back then, the Huashan Sect was the number one sword sect among the Five Mountains and served as the leader of the alliance for decades. This foundation is truly profound.

Changing the subject, Ning Zhongze asked, "Senior brother, what do you think about what Ming'er said earlier about Grandmaster Feng on the back mountain?"

Back then, the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect fought a great battle. The Qi Sect won a pyrrhic victory, while the Sword Sect fled overnight. This hatred cannot be put aside with just a few words; the prejudice in their hearts is a mountain.

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "It doesn't matter. If he's lucky enough to receive guidance tomorrow, it'll be his good fortune. Anyway, they're all from the Huashan Sect, so it doesn't count as stealing martial arts from another school."

"Junior sister, I'm entrusting Shan'er and Ming'er's wedding to you. The Five Mountains Sword Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang should all send people to deliver wedding invitations. You can arrange things for the others. Our daughters should also have a grand wedding. Ming'er can refine pills and is also skilled in medicine. We rescued her, so our bond is no less than Chong'er's."

Ultimately, it all comes down to value. If there's value, then we can negotiate and compromise. If there's no value, then just stay out of the way.

Outside, Yue Lingshan accompanied her junior brother to deliver gifts to their senior brothers.

Upon returning from this long journey, he not only brought back silver and precious elixirs, but also many gifts.

She and her mother had gold hairpins, jewelry, and jade bracelets, while her fellow disciples had wine, medicine for wounds, and silver. Real gold and silver were always hard currency.

The disciples, having accepted bribes, showered him with compliments like "May you have a long and happy marriage," "A perfect couple," and "A handsome man and a beautiful woman."

Even Lu Dayou, Linghu Chong's number one lackey, switched sides. He was hostile towards Lu Ming before because he felt that Lu Ming had stolen his senior brother's future wife. Now, seeing that Lu Ming was highly skilled in martial arts and generous, he immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"Junior Brother Lu, I was blinded by ignorance before. I felt sorry for Senior Brother, wondering why Junior Sister was so kind to you. Now I understand. I was just a frog in a well. Please forgive my foolishness. From now on, I will follow your lead and go through fire and water for you!"

Lu Ming didn't take him seriously at all. No matter how hostile he was, he wouldn't stoop to such underhanded tactics. Successfully winning someone over was also a manifestation of personal charisma, wasn't it?

With a wave of his hand, he lifted him up with his energy: "Sixth Senior Brother, you flatter me. Without your encouragement, I would not have achieved what I have. In the future, we brothers should work together under Master's guidance to carry forward the Huashan Sect, restore its former glory, and even reach new heights. We must work together wholeheartedly."

Lu Dayou was overjoyed. He had heard about his junior brother's ruthlessness, casting people at the drop of a hat. How could a man be called a man if he lost two ounces of flesh?

"Junior brother is right, haha, you guys are busy, I'll be going now, I won't disturb your sweet time together."

Yue Lingshan waved her hand dismissively, her face flushing red with embarrassment: "Go away, go away, say less."

After delivering the gift and returning to the house, Lu Ming stopped pretending to be a gentleman. Since she was his woman, he lowered his head and kissed her.

After a long while, Yue Lingshan, her cheeks flushed and panting, pushed him away: "You naughty junior brother, how's your beautiful wife? Is she difficult to get along with?"

It would be a lie to say I wasn't angry; what woman wants to share her lover with someone else?

Not everyone is like her father, who was devoted to only one wife.

Holding his senior sister in his arms, Lu Ming said softly, "Her name is Lin Shiyin. She comes from a well-to-do family, has a very good temperament, doesn't argue with anyone, and isn't a mean or jealous woman. She likes reading and playing the zither. I've arranged for her to stay in a very safe place."

"You're my senior sister, and you've taken care of me ever since I joined the sect. I've always dreamed of marrying you, and now that Master has agreed, I'm overjoyed. I'll cherish you and love you dearly, making you happy for the rest of your life, and we'll have so many, many children together!"

Yue Lingshan is easily swayed by sweet words and loses all sense of direction. She is also the type of virtuous wife and loving mother, just like Ning Zhongze.

She rested her head on his shoulder, her pretty face stroking his cheek with affection: "You naughty junior brother, having so many children, I'm not a pig!"

"But since my junior brother has said so, I'll have to work a little harder from now on. Hehe, I wonder when the wedding day is? I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Did you get hurt on this trip? Mom and Dad said you went through a lot of dangers outside, but thankfully you all escaped unharmed. Promise me you won't be so impulsive again, okay? You're not alone anymore, you have me, and you have Lin Shiyin. We all need to be okay."

As they talked, their lips trembled again, a moment of tender affection. With the marriage arrangements confirmed, they became even more uninhibited.

She wore a flowing, elegant emerald dress, the emerald color highlighting her fair, jade-like skin. Her features were delicate and graceful, her beauty unparalleled, and her eyes held a captivating charm and a deep love for her beloved.

Lu Ming smiled and held her fair, delicate hand, gently tapping her nose: "I'll be staying at the Huashan Sect whenever I have free time, practicing swordsmanship and feeding each other moves, having picnics together in the back mountains, and we'll even be sleeping together from now on."

"Ugh! Mother said we can only sleep together after we're married. You mean, junior brother, you're always bullying me. We'll be husband and wife from now on, and we'll live together for the rest of our lives!"

Nothing was said that night; if they couldn't have sex, they would find another way.

The next morning, Yue Lingshan woke up feeling thirsty and her throat was a little uncomfortable. She scolded her junior brother in her heart, "You're always making a fuss over people!"

Lu Ming naturally went back to the manor to rest, where Lin Shiyin was keeping him company. She was indeed not a jealous woman, and she would thoughtfully arrange for her maids to help her. She never argued, was wholeheartedly devoted to her husband, and was a good wife. She also understood that there would be other sisters in the future, so she had a calm mind and naturally wouldn't be jealous.

As the year draws to a close, Mount Hua is covered in snow.

Every day before dawn, the disciples had to get up to practice swordsmanship, led by their eldest brother, Linghu Chong. Perhaps because their junior brother, Lu Ming, had made a name for himself, Linghu Chong had become much more serious about it.

Lu Ming was also participating in sword practice after a long absence. Compared to his fellow disciples who had not yet mastered the essence of Huashan swordsmanship, his performance was like a monkey wearing a crown.

His Huashan swordsmanship was elegant and agile, with sword moves that were free and unrestrained, not bound by any particular style. Like a pine tree welcoming guests, endless falling leaves, or a phoenix coming to pay homage, every change in his moves was as unpredictable as a gazelle hanging its horns.

Each time, it would elicit gasps of amazement from the newly arrived junior disciples, and also give them a new understanding of Huashan swordsmanship.

It's not that their swordsmanship is bad, it's that they themselves are bad. It's not hard to admit that.

"Fellow disciples, continue your practice. Remember your master's teachings: our Huashan School uses internal energy to control the sword; internal strength is fundamental. With profound internal strength, every move possesses immense power!"

As Lu Ming spoke, he swung his long sword, and a purple sword aura flew far away, splitting the large rock outside the railing in two, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise and praise.

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and nodded from a distance. What pleased this disciple most was that he always put him first, making him look good. His disciple was so capable; wasn't it all thanks to his master's excellent teaching?

Linghu Chong's expression was somewhat complicated. Yesterday, his junior sister and junior brother came to give him gifts: a precious sword and two bottles of Daughter's Red wine. What could he say? He could only offer his blessings to the newlyweds.

"Second Senior Brother, please lead everyone in sword practice. Eldest Senior Brother, may I speak with you in private?"

Lu Ming gave an order: he needed Linghu Chong's help, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find Feng Qingyang, let alone learn the Dugu Nine Swords.

Having many skills is never a burden. Once he learns a move, he can quickly master it, then fuse the moves together, creating a single move that possesses all the characteristics—truly, mastering one move is all you need!
