I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Is it a legacy left to future generations by the ancestors of Mount Hua, a secret buried by unknown masters for many years, or a treasure of the powerful who once occupied Mount Hua in history?

Or perhaps, it is the long-lost, unparalleled heritage of my Huashan Sect?

Whatever it was, Yue Buqun was unusually excited.

In the martial arts world, there are many legends and stories of people unexpectedly inheriting the skills of their predecessors, mastering divine techniques, becoming invincible, and establishing unparalleled achievements.

In this situation, even though Yue Buqun was nearly fifty years old and had cultivated himself to be refined and elegant over the years, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and his heart was pounding.

Could it be that my time has come?

Ning Zhongze, the former young lady of Mount Hua, shared the same sentiment. She used to enjoy reading various novels when she was young and still occasionally takes them out to peek at them.

What's written in the storybooks isn't lying; opportunities and good fortune really do exist in the world!

May Mount Hua prosper!

Seeing the two stunned people, "Yue Lingshan" smiled slightly, put her hands behind her back, and stood calm and composed.

Old Deng, give up your damn Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, this young lady will take you to new heights!

In return, all you need to do is help me master the Star Absorbing Technique.

With so many rare martial arts techniques and secret manuals from various schools, exchanging them for a mere Star Absorbing Skill is a huge win for you!

Chapter 25 A Young Child with Unfathomable Depths

After figuring out what was in the cave, Yue Buqun wasn't too disappointed, but he wasn't entirely satisfied either.

As the head of the Huashan Sect, he certainly cannot use the various lost secret techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sects when he travels in the martial world; they can only be used as references.

The counter-techniques left behind by the Demonic Sect members to the various sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were, in the eyes of Yue Buqun, the Qi Sect master, of little use.

At his level, in actual combat, no one would simply follow the learned moves exactly as they were taught; they would all incorporate various variations.

The countermeasures left by the members of the demonic cult are only effective against fixed moves. Once variations are added, they become ineffective. They are merely disgusting things left behind by the members in their resentment and have almost no value.

It's not entirely without value because their strategies for deciphering techniques are still worth studying and pondering to some extent, thereby enhancing one's own martial arts wisdom.

Even so, the various techniques used in the cave are still very important.

Leaving aside the sword techniques of Mount Hua, the sword techniques of Mount Song, Mount Tai, Mount Heng, and Mount Hengshan have all been lost to their respective sects.

If an opportunity could be found to send them back to their respective sects, that would be an immense favor, enough to significantly enhance Huashan's influence among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects.

Even if they don't return it, if they secretly practice and master it, and research the weaknesses of various martial arts schools, Huashan will naturally have a great advantage if a fight breaks out in the future. This is mainly aimed at Songshan School.

Of course, other factions are not immune to conflict if necessary.

Based on all these considerations, Yue Buqun decided to carefully extract these moves, compile them into a book, and form the "Book of Seals" of the Huashan Sect.

Even if the final decision is made to return the moves, Mount Hua will definitely keep a copy.

On the surface, they would definitely say that they didn't keep anything and have forgotten everything, but in reality, they definitely remember it clearly and have studied it thoroughly. Other sects can't force them to.

You can't keep the fact that Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze committed suicide after discovering these things a secret, can you?

If they really dare to do that, then even Yue Lingshan would have to think that the Five Sacred Mountains should be merged into one sect, and Mount Hua should rise to prominence!

Yue Buqun didn't even bother to eat; he hurriedly returned to the Huashan Villa to fetch paper and pen, and then began to copy it down.

The number of moves carved in the cave may seem small, but copying them accurately and vividly is no easy task.

The text is relatively easy to handle, but the various illustrations must be meticulously crafted; otherwise, they will lose their charm and prevent learners from mastering the method.

Even with Yue Buqun's martial arts skills, he could only take it slowly.

Ning Zhongze was a virtuous wife and loving mother, helping to grind ink and light lamps, adding fragrance to the room.

Yue Lingshan had no interest in this kind of artistic work. After memorizing all the moves on the murals, she returned to her cave and began to meditate and cultivate.

It has been a full six months since I last piloted the Yue Lingshan.

Over the past six months, the little girl has grown physically, and her previous cultivation data has inevitably become outdated and needs to be updated.

Yue Lingshan activated the Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra, circulating her internal energy throughout her body, refining essence into qi.

A sense of tranquility and lightness emanated from the seated "Yue Lingshan," giving one the illusion that she was about to float away.

Huh?

From the shadows, Feng Qingyang, who had been observing for a long time, let out a soft exclamation.

His cultivation was profound; even without probing other people's bodies with his internal energy, he could discern many aspects of a person's martial arts skills simply by observing their appearance.

The internal energy cultivation method that Yue Lingshan is currently practicing is definitely not the basic internal energy cultivation method of Mount Hua, nor is it any advanced internal energy cultivation method of Mount Hua such as Hunyuan Gong or Baoyuan Jin. Instead, it is a completely new internal energy cultivation method that she has never seen before.

This internal skill is extremely exquisite, far surpassing the basic internal skills of Mount Hua, and even comparable to, or even exceeding, advanced internal skills like the Hunyuan Gong.

This level of internal energy cultivation technique is not something that can be obtained easily; even within the Five Mountains Sword Sect, it would be a sect-level martial art.

How did Yue Lingshan, a young girl who had never left Mount Hua, obtain this profound mental cultivation technique?

Feng Qingyang fell into deep thought, but still couldn't figure it out.

He sighed to himself, "I haven't paid attention to these people from Mount Hua for a long time. I didn't expect that not only Yue Buqun had broken through to the seventh level of the Zixia Divine Skill, but even his daughter was so unexpected."

Previously, he had watched as "Yue Lingshan" slapped open the stone wall passage with her palm, her purpose so clear that it seemed she had known there was a problem there all along.

Even Feng Qingyang, who lived on the Cliff of Contemplation for decades, only made some discoveries, while this person didn't even have to go through a bend, and discovered it directly upon arriving...

Feng Qingyang wasn't stupid; he could naturally guess that this was Yue Lingshan who had known about this place for a long time. Only with a clear target could she be so accurate.

A little girl who had never left Mount Hua not only obtained a sect-level, unfamiliar internal skill, but also learned information that even Yue Buqun, the head of Mount Hua, had failed to obtain...

The problems here are obviously significant.

Such a young age, yet unfathomable!

Suddenly, a burst of energy emanated from Yue Lingshan, long, dense, light and melodious, stirring up the dust on the ground and forming winding patterns on the ground.

Feng Qingyang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Such internal strength at such a young age, what kind of rare and precious treasure did he consume?!"

Based on his experience, he could easily judge Yue Lingshan's internal strength level just by looking at these external signs.

That's the kind of internal energy that only the vast majority of third-rate martial arts masters possess.

At less than thirteen years old, his internal strength had reached the third-rate level, which was simply astonishing!

Back in the day, when he was thirteen, Feng Qingyang had only just begun to develop his Qi. Compared to that young girl, he was so embarrassed that he almost blushed!

"But why would he suddenly unleash his internal energy? Could it be that he's discovered me?" Feng Qingyang immediately increased his ability to conceal his aura, making it almost imperceptible.

It's one thing for his talent to be completely outshone by a young girl, but if he were caught spying on her at his age, he'd really want to die.

However, he was overthinking it; "Yue Lingshan" did not discover him.

Opening her eyes, "Yue Lingshan's" eyes flashed with a sharp light, a sign of great progress in her internal energy cultivation.

Previously, Yue Lingshan had always cultivated the basic internal energy of Mount Hua. Even when Song Yi brought a lot of internal energy, it was naturally refined into the internal energy of the basic internal energy of Mount Hua.

After being entrusted with Li Mochou's care, she acquired a more profound Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra and Li Mochou's more than ten years of martial arts experience. Her mastery of the Ancient Tomb Heart Sutra far surpassed that of the Huashan Heart Sutra, so she naturally needed to switch to it.

Just now, besides testing the cultivation speed of Yue Lingshan, she was also doing this.

It was something I had already experienced; my experience, skill, and level of understanding were all there. The process of switching to the Ancient Tomb Cultivation Method was very smooth and quick.

With just 108 cycles of internal energy cultivation, her more than 1200 units of Huashan internal energy were completely transformed into Ancient Tomb internal energy, resulting in a significant improvement in power, purity, and applications.

Especially in calming the mind and reducing the probability of going into qi deviation, and in enhancing lightness skills, the internal energy of the Ancient Tomb Sect far surpasses that of the internal energy of the Huashan Sect.

Looking at the winding trails left by the energy she had released, "Yue Lingshan" smiled gently, braced herself with her left hand on the rock beneath her, and her whole body floated up into the air.

She gracefully and lightly turned in mid-air, her toes touching the stone wall beside her, and her falling body regained its strength to spring up and leap forward!

Her fingers and toes touched various protrusions on the mountain wall in succession, and her speed increased. Like a swallow, she glided through the narrow cave without touching the ground until she rushed out of the cave.

With her last foot landing on the cave entrance, her forward momentum smoothly transformed into an upward motion, carrying her about ten meters into the air before gently landing on a branch.

The slender branches unexpectedly bore a weight of tens of kilograms, swaying gently in the wind.

Yue Lingshan stood on one leg on a branch, swaying in the wind. Her green dress fluttered lightly, her black hair danced in the air, and she smiled charmingly, radiant and graceful.

Like a celestial being who has fallen to earth.

Lightness skill, awesome!

Feng Qingyang stared at this scene, lost in thought, and murmured:

“...So handsome.”

Chapter 26 Huashan Sect (×) Huashan Group (√)

Thanks to Yue Lingshan's physical growth over the past six months, and her switch to the more refined and proficient Ancient Tomb Cultivation Technique, her Qi cultivation efficiency has increased significantly compared to six months ago.

When the aftercare ended six months ago, without taking any medicinal diet or supplements, the rate at which I accumulated internal energy through daily practice was 0.5 units per day.

Now, that number has reached 0.8 units per day, an increase of 0.3!

The increase from physical growth is minimal; the vast majority of the increase comes from switching techniques and improving proficiency.

In the Ancient Tomb, Li Mochou, with the guidance of a master and access to high-level resources such as the Jade Bed, began cultivating her internal strength at the age of 10 and practiced for a full 6 years, reaching the average level of a second-rate martial arts practitioner.

Having cultivated for so long, his mastery of the mental cultivation method naturally far surpasses that of Song Yi, who had just started, and Yue Lingshan, who had only cultivated for half a year.

However, after taking Li Mochou under his care once, Song Yi completely absorbed her experience and brought it over.

Standing on Li Mochou's shoulders, "Yue Lingshan" has incorporated Yue Lingshan's experience over the past six months, making further progress in martial arts cultivation and proficiency. She is no longer the person she used to be.

Martial arts novices become seasoned veterans and start practicing again—doesn't that increase efficiency dramatically?

Unfortunately, this efficiency is still not high enough.

Not to mention exceeding Li Mochou's speed of 3 units per day, it is far inferior even to the original body's speed of 1 unit per day.

A master who reigns supreme in the world typically possesses tens of thousands of units of internal energy.

At this rate, it will take her more than 30 years to develop tens of thousands of units of internal energy and reach the level of a first-class master. By then, it will be too late!

As expected, practicing martial arts on her own was not suitable for her; the Star Absorbing Technique was her eternal true love!

Using his light-footed skills, he flew from the Cliff of Contemplation back to the Huashan Villa, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of floating.
