Chapter 93, Prism Color Entry, Hengshan Sect Leader

The flawless Wanhua Sword Technique, with each move flowing like an endless river and sea, and each sword strike blooming like a flower, is dazzling to the eye.

Sword techniques can be this flashy?

Amidst the myriad sword shadows, a murderous intent suddenly appeared; a single sword strike sealed the throat, like a flower withering away.

Master Dingyi took a deep breath, and the things she hadn't understood before suddenly became clear. This was the true Ten Thousand Flowers Sword Technique!

Abbess Dingyi rose, took out a scroll of scriptures, a wooden fish drum, a string of prayer beads, and a short sword, placed them on a tray, and handed them over: "Please accept these, Young Hero Lu!"

This is the token of the sect leader; accepting it signifies the fact that one has succeeded as the leader of the Hengshan Sect.

Lu Ming sheathed his sword, pondered for a moment, and then decided to accept the heavy responsibility. With the blessing of the incantation, he could ensure that the Hengshan Sect disciples would not betray him. If managed properly, they might become a great asset.

"Alright, I will summon the disciples tomorrow to announce it. As for my master, I would like to ask Abbess Dingxian to explain the situation, so that he does not think that I have betrayed the sect."

In the martial arts world, this is still highly valued. No matter how high one's martial arts skills are, if one commits the heinous act of betraying one's master, one will be despised. Being expelled from one's master can only be attributed to insufficient skill, but betraying one's master is a matter of character.

If someone can betray even their own teachers, then they are absolutely not someone you can get along with.

"Please rest assured, Sect Leader, I will definitely explain this matter to Sect Leader Yue. I entrust the Hengshan Sect to you!"

Behind the Great Buddha Hall is the Sutra Repository, where the martial arts classics and precious Buddhist scriptures of the Hengshan Sect are kept.

Lu Ming sat cross-legged, and Master Dingyi personally served him by bringing him scriptures and books.

【Gaining notoriety tracking for entries (B): Identifying individuals with criminal records allows for tracking their notoriety.】

This is the entry given by the mute old woman. She's not yet forty, in the prime of her beauty; only after she removes her disguise can one see her smooth, fair complexion. She's already a widow; to make her live a life of forced widowhood would be too immoral.

Yilin is charming and lovely; her genes must be good, otherwise she would be an ugly duckling.

[Become the leader of a prestigious and righteous sect and obtain the entry "Hengshan Sect Leader" (Prism)]

[Hengshan Sect Leader (Lingcai): Can manage the sect, construct sect buildings to gain corresponding bonuses, and sect disciples who meet certain conditions will be granted attribute rewards. Disciples with full loyalty will receive corresponding pure internal energy based on their internal skill level. The higher the sect's reputation, the more likely it is to subdue other sects and receive tribute.]

That's interesting! No, it's extremely interesting!

A map of the Hengshan Sect appeared in Lu Ming's eyes. He could see many buildings, and each building had a corresponding entry that provided better effects.

The Scripture Pavilion (Level D): Slightly accelerates the cultivation speed of internal energy techniques among sect disciples; the higher the loyalty, the greater the bonus. Martial arts techniques can be collected and added to the pavilion, allowing sect disciples to learn them even faster.

Martial Arts Arena (Level D): Slightly speeds up the training of martial arts moves by sect disciples; the higher the loyalty, the greater the bonus.

Kitchen (Level D): Produces food to replenish disciples' stamina. The higher the level, the better the effect on enhancing physical fitness.

Disciple Residence (Level D): Provides disciples with a place to sleep and rest to recover stamina and mental energy. A disciple gains one point of loyalty after residing there for a full month. The higher the level, the better the effect.

There are vegetable gardens, breeding farms, and even a delivery room – what the heck?

Running a sect is not easy. The daily expenses are enormous, including food, building repair and maintenance, training materials, weapon crafting supplies, and medicine, among others.

You don't know how expensive daily necessities are until you're in charge of the household. Now, looking at all these expenses, I'm starting to feel numb.

Upgrading these buildings requires funds earned by the sect. In other words, he cannot use his personal funds, which is why it's not something that can be done overnight, but rather a long-term endeavor.

"Dingyi, what are the sect's usual sources of income?"

Master Dingyi was slightly taken aback, then bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, it's mainly the fees from wealthy merchants in the vicinity, which is very small. We also sell medicine, primarily Baiyun Bear Bile Pills and Tianxiang Duanxu Ointment. In addition, we offer incense oil services for worshippers."

Being an all-female sect, they weren't that powerful. The so-called "fees" were actually protection money; people paid the sect for protection.

Among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect is quite unique. It's somewhat similar to the Shaolin Temple, but also quite different, developing its own distinctive characteristics.

Lu Ming stroked his chin, realizing he would have to take an unconventional path. The sect needed to be able to earn its own money so it could support the community and not become a burden.

"I understand. I'll think of a way to increase our income. Look at how malnourished you all are. From now on, every meal will include meat. If you only eat vegetables and no meat, you'll die even faster."

The Hengshan Sect is a Buddhist sect, so why would they allow their Buddhist disciples to eat meat?

Master Dingyi's lips twitched slightly. "Sect Leader, we are Buddhist disciples."

"Just return to secular life. Since I'm the sect leader, I have to be responsible for you all. Alright, listen to me. Tell Dingxian that the Hengshan Sect will only recruit female disciples. I won't change that. Everything else is up to me. If she doesn't agree, then I'll make you the sect leader."

Lu Ming didn't want to waste time. Although it was a Prism-type entry, how could its effect be as good as other Prisms? It wasn't his style to devote himself to a sect and stay here for a long time.

"Yes, Sect Leader, I will tell Senior Sister."

She waved her away, and in a daze, Master Dingyi felt that the other person was becoming more and more like a sect leader. What she said left her speechless: not eating meat was a matter of faith, so why not just change to another faith?

Opening the book, I found it to be a martial arts manual from the Hengshan School.

[Learned the Hengshan Heart Method (B), the Tianchang Palm Method (B), and the formulas for Baiyun Bear Bile Pills and Tianxiang Duanxu Ointment.]

[Hengshan Heart Sutra (B): Increases the probability of counterattack when facing an enemy; the greater the difference in internal strength, the higher the probability.]

Two Class B martial arts techniques?

It's better than nothing, I suppose. Now that he possesses the top-tier "Nine Yang Divine Skill," he really doesn't care about second-grade techniques. It's not that he's arrogant or unrealistic, but the effects that the technique can provide are just so-so.

It only takes a little time to practice until it reaches perfection, providing a small amount of refined internal energy, so it's better than nothing. The advantage is that it can be integrated into other cultivation methods, providing continuous benefits.

To say that the mental cultivation technique is useless is indeed true. Because the greater the difference in strength, he can simply kill the opponent with a single slap, without any need for any so-called protracted fighting. If he can finish the job in one move, why bother with counterattacks?

It seems to be of little use except for amusing idiots.

I also read through some other Buddhist scriptures, similar to those I saw at the Southern Shaolin Temple. These were meant to temper my mind and temper the aggression I developed from martial arts, preventing me from becoming a restless and easily angered person.

In the middle of the night, Lu Ming slipped back to the manor and told Yue Lingshan about what had happened.

After cultivating the Purple Cloud Pitying Flower Technique, Yue Lingshan's skin became even whiter, and her large, bright eyes held a playful smile: "You're so happy! So many female disciples, hehe, pick a few. If I get pregnant, you'll have someone to keep you company, right?"

She was indeed virtuous; ever since she saw the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, she was genuinely worried that her husband would forcibly suppress his evil desires.

If she has a sudden change of heart and cuts herself off, she'll be left to live a life of widowhood.

Seeing his wife's worried face, Lu Ming felt a warmth in his heart and hugged her tightly. "Alright, I'll find a way. I'm not that stupid. Get some rest. We'll set off for Wudang Mountain in a few days and sort things out first."

"That's good, hehe, I learned a few moves from Lin Xian'er a while ago!"

Yue Lingshan was eager to try, her eyes shining!

Rain pattering on banana leaves, candlelight flickering—knowing my brothers enjoy reading this, I won't write anything more.
