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

There are things one should not do.

Lu Ming's previously amiable expression suddenly turned serious: "Senior Brother, can I trust you?"

Linghu Chong was caught off guard by the question and scratched his head, puzzled. "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I only regard Junior Sister as a younger sister. It's her good fortune that she has found a good match in you. I have no feelings for Junior Sister whatsoever."

These words made Yue Lingshan, who had followed in, feel very embarrassed and angry. Forgetting all about etiquette, she put her hands on her hips and snorted, "Senior Brother, we are siblings. Father and Mother have always treated you as their son."

"A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog." If there hadn't been an engagement, Yue Lingshan might have considered it, but now that there is, she can't be fickle.

Lu Ming coughed lightly and said irritably, "Senior sister, that's not what I meant. Make me two cups of tea, and you can listen to what I have to say."

Yue Lingshan blushed deeply and cursed inwardly. Her anxiety subsided; it was all that Lu monkey's nonsense. She'd find a way to teach him a lesson later.

Lu Dayou, who was practicing swordsmanship in the training ground, suddenly shivered. Could it be that the weather was too cold? He was sitting at home when trouble came out of nowhere.

"Senior Brother, you've heard about the sword energy dispute, haven't you?"

Linghu Chong nodded: "Master once said that our sect focuses on internal strength to control the sword with qi, while the Sword Sect focuses on techniques and not internal strength. Within ten years, the Sword Sect will have a slight advantage, after twenty years the sword and qi will be evenly matched, and after thirty years the qi sect will completely defeat the Sword Sect."

That's true; internal energy and techniques are both indispensable. Just like a bow and arrow are both essential, working together brings mutual benefit, while working apart brings mutual defeat.

Lu Ming patted Yue Lingshan's hand as she came over to make tea, making her roll her eyes in embarrassment. Such open displays of affection are very harmful to single people.

"That's right. After the sword qi dispute, the Sword Sect members fled, but there is still a Grandmaster Uncle Feng Qingyang who is already famous in the martial arts world and is still living in seclusion on the mountain. When I went to Baoding Prefecture this time, I met Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, who mentioned the Grandmaster Uncle's name many times and was quite wary of him."

"I would like to ask you to go to the vicinity of the Cliff of Contemplation and find Master Feng to ask him for advice on swordsmanship. I have already spoken to my master about this. Whether it succeeds or not depends on our fate."

"It's also my fault. When I encountered Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi of the Sword Sect at the Wendi Temple in Baoding Prefecture, I found out that they were actually instigated by the Songshan Sect. As a result, I also fought with Ding Mian and Zhong Zhen, which led to my falling out with the Songshan Sect."

Linghu Chong was initially reluctant, but upon hearing that Lu Ming had also gotten into trouble, he felt a sense of sympathy. He picked up his teacup, intending to drink, but then thought it best to go back and drink some wine.

"It's alright, they fought, so what? They colluded with the remnants of the Sword Sect to harm our sect, they deserved to die, that's too lenient. Don't worry, Junior Brother, I'll go to the Cliff of Contemplation to find Grandmaster Feng, but I have a request."

Yue Lingshan was very dissatisfied, and with her hands on her hips, she huffed, "Senior Brother, this is for the sake of our Huashan Sect, how dare you make demands of Junior Brother!"

What kind of husband-protecting maniac is this?

Linghu Chong felt ashamed and lowered his head. If it were someone else saying that, he could ignore them, but this was his junior sister!

Even if she gets married, without any lingering feelings, she'll still be treated like a younger sister, and there's really no way to argue with that.

Lu Ming waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, a pot of wine a day, roast chicken, and beef will do. Senior Brother, the Huashan Sect seems to be gradually recovering, but there are still external enemies eyeing it. You and I were both rescued by Master and brought back to the mountain to learn martial arts. We must protect the Huashan Sect and Master, even if it costs us our lives. I'm entrusting this matter to you!"

As he spoke, he stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

Linghu Chong dared not presume, and also stood up, clasped his hands in a salute: "Junior brother, rest assured, I will definitely find Grandmaster Feng."

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze exchanged a glance outside the door, feeling greatly gratified. Although their eldest disciple was dissolute and troublesome, it seemed he wasn't inherently bad and could still be saved.

Yue Buqun did not object to inviting Feng Qingyang back to serve as an elder. The Huashan Sect was indeed in a dire situation, and if a grandmaster could be in charge, Zuo Lengchan would not dare to act rashly.

If you move even slightly, I'll slap you to death!

Ultimately, in the martial arts world, strength reigns supreme.

"Junior sister, leave this to me, I'm going to practice my skills. The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill that they'll give you tomorrow is really good, you should also practice diligently."

Yue Buqun left after speaking, having refused his junior sister's request for marital relations last night. What woman? A heart without women is a heart that can draw a sword with divine power!

Ning Zhongze's expression faltered slightly, and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was only in her thirties, and she was talking as if this was something shameful. If it's not there, it's not there; it's not like it's necessary.

Two weeks later, the end of the year was drawing ever closer.

Disciples of the Huashan Sect who have families at the foot of the mountain are allowed to go back to visit their relatives, while those who do not have relatives stay on Huashan to celebrate the New Year.

The "double happiness" characters and "good fortune" posters are pasted under the eaves, and red lanterns are hung up. These can be used again at Lu Ming and Yue Lingshan's wedding after the New Year.

During the day, he sparred with his senior sister and fed her techniques; in the afternoon, he guided her in cultivating the Hunyuan Yiqi Gong. Once she had mastered the technique, he would pass on the Zixia Divine Skill to her. They were all his women, so he would definitely treat them well.

The two had reached a point of deep affection, and whenever they wanted to take things further, Ning Zhongze, the master's wife, would suddenly appear out of nowhere and take Yue Lingshan away.

According to her, some things should be done in moderation and should wait until after marriage.

This made Yue Lingshan blush and act coquettishly, and she could only vent her anger on Lu Ming's waist, blaming him for making her look foolish. A day later, she almost couldn't control herself again, and was once again dragged away by Ning Zhongze by the ear.

I don't know if my teacher's wife has experienced some kind of trauma, but she seems a bit strange.

With the wedding just around the corner, it wouldn't hurt to be patient. After all, Lin Shiyin would be with him every night. If he couldn't have Yue Lingshan, he could have her instead.

Lin Shiyin has recently started talking about taking a concubine for him, partly because she is virtuous and not jealous, but also because she can't handle it.

Since ancient times, there have only been oxen that died from exhaustion, not land that was over-plowed. But Lu Ming had the attribute of "abundant stamina," making him like a wild bull. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't defeat him and had to seek outside help.

There was still no news from Linghu Chong, and Lu Ming continued to practice the "Lianhua Baojian" as usual.

Thanks to the added benefits of the entry, even a Grade A cultivation technique can be mastered quickly.

Homeland, the Forest Stele of Enlightenment.

Lu Ming sat upright on the futon, pointing one finger to the ground and the other to the sky. His internal energy circulated through his meridians. In addition to the eight extraordinary meridians, some small and hidden meridians were also expanded and gradually connected to form a new microcosmic orbit.

The small cycles of energy connect with each other and eventually merge into the great cycle. His body is surrounded by swirling energy, and purple aura rises from his face. His handsome face now looks like that of a banished immortal.

Three days passed quietly. At a certain moment, Lu Ming opened his eyes. An invisible force spread out, and sonic booms rang out. The bamboo forest crackled and popped automatically without any wind.

A brand-new cultivation technique appeared on the stone tablet next to it. This was an internal skill that was a fusion of the Zixia Divine Skill and the Lianhua Treasure Mirror. It had both the upright and peaceful Taoist foundation and the swift and unpredictable feminine charm.

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with joy. It was indeed the right decision to try to unlock the Homestead entry in Baoding Prefecture.

It's incredibly difficult for martial artists to switch to other techniques. Aside from those passed down through a single lineage, forget about techniques with conflicting attributes. Those who have tried are already dead, and those who survived are often mentally unstable.

When Ouyang Feng practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, he went mad due to the conflicting techniques and it took him more than ten years to recover.

Guo Jing was able to master both the Quanzhen Martial Arts and the Nine Yin Manual because they were both Taoist traditions, and he was also exceptionally gifted.

Now, with the Enlightenment Forest Stele, Lu Ming only spent three days combining the two Grade A cultivation techniques into one. Not only did he gain immunity to mental control and a clear mind, but he also benefited from the continuous aftereffects of the Purple Cloud Technique, enhancing his six senses. The cultivation technique operated smoothly and automatically, and his cultivation level increased by more than ten years!
