However, as he said, the things Xu Yaozu and the Xu family did, killing them was no big deal. He not only wouldn't blame them, but he even thought they did a good job.
After all, he was Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword.
Thinking of this, Yue Buqun looked at his disciples and said, “When you travel the world in the future, you should be like Ning’er. When you encounter injustice, you should help others so as not to tarnish the reputation of our Huashan Sect. However, you should also act within your capabilities. Going straight to someone’s residence and killing people like Ning’er is the easiest way to get into danger.”
"He handled this very well, but if it had been any later and the government officials had arrived, he would have been trapped. He was able to escape because he was able to assess the situation. You may not be safe and unharmed, so think carefully before you act."
Chapter 41: It's time to announce that the Purple Cloud Divine Skill has been relegated to the second line.
"Yes, I will follow Master's instructions."
Linghu Chong and the other disciples of Mount Hua bowed and agreed.
"Alright, since this isn't a big deal, don't worry about it. Go out now. The Lantern Festival in Xiangyang starts in three days. Have fun."
"I'll have your teacher's wife give you some pocket money later. Go buy whatever you want."
Yue Buqun waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Master."
The disciples' eyes lit up, and then they withdrew.
Ning Zhongze also left; she was going to collect the silver to distribute to her disciples.
"Ning'er, is there anything else?"
Seeing that Jiang Ning hadn't left, Yue Buqun asked in confusion.
Jiang Ning said, "Master, I have gained something else from this trip down the mountain."
Yue Buqun was taken aback.
What did we gain?
Could it be another massacre at a wealthy mansion?
Jiang Ning said solemnly, "This disciple has recovered the Innate Skill."
call out!
As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, a gust of wind swept in, and Yue Buqun appeared in front of him, staring intently at him with a very tense expression.
"What did you just say? You found the Innate Skill?"
Jiang Ning nodded solemnly: "Yes."
He then took out the tortoise shell he had obtained from the Tomb of the Living Dead from his bosom and handed it to Yue Buqun, saying, "The Innate Skill is engraved on it."
Yue Buqun's eyes widened, his expression slightly excited. Upon hearing this, he solemnly accepted the tortoise shell with both hands, his arms trembling slightly, as if the tortoise shell weighed a thousand pounds.
"The Innate Skill is a method of breathing and exhalation practice. After reaching a minor level of mastery..."
Yue Buqun carefully examined the tortoise shell, his lips trembling slightly as he read aloud the words on it, his expression growing increasingly excited.
However, when Yue Buqun saw the sentence that it would be twice as difficult to achieve half the results if one did not have a pure yang body to cultivate the innate skill, he frowned slightly, but then he did not pay attention to it.
He was no longer a pure yang being, but that did not diminish his excitement.
It's not like you can't practice if you're not of pure Yang body; at most, it'll just be a bit slower. And judging from the words above, it seems that once you reach a high level, the efficiency is about the same as someone of pure Yang body.
With his current internal strength, cultivating the Innate Skill will naturally be easy for him.
How many years!
He had been searching for this supreme Taoist cultivation manual for many years, but to no avail. Now it was right in front of him, in his hands, within easy reach.
Yue Buqun wanted to burst into laughter. At this moment, he was even more excited than when he discovered the lost sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the cave on the Cliff of Contemplation.
But reason made him suppress his boiling excitement and look at Jiang Ning.
"Ning'er, where did you find her?"
Jiang Ning was prepared for this question and replied, "Since Zhongnan Mountain was once the headquarters of the Quanzhen Sect and is not far from my Mount Hua, I thought I would like to go and take a look at Zhongnan Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun shook his head. He had thought the same thing back then and had searched for it several times in Zhongnan Mountain, but to no avail.
However, he did not interrupt Jiang Ning, but continued to listen.
"Later, I went to the old site of the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain and searched for several days, but I couldn't find it. I searched all within a ten-mile radius, but there was no trace of it. Later, I found a pool of water not far from the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain. That was the only pool I hadn't seen before, so I jumped in to look for it. Then I found this tortoise shell lying at the bottom of the pool. I thought it was a bit strange, so I picked it up to take a look. I didn't expect that what was engraved on it was the Innate Skill."
Jiang Ning didn't reveal the matter of the Ancient Tomb Sect. There was no point in talking about it, and it would be difficult to explain how he knew about the Ancient Tomb Sect. He simply explained it as him finding the chosen one by chance when he was extremely lucky.
"It's that simple?"
Yue Buqun was speechless.
He had spent countless hours and effort searching for this Innate Skill manual, but to no avail. Yet his disciple had found it so easily. He was speechless.
However, he felt that Jiang Ning had no reason to lie to him, so he accepted the explanation.
After carefully examining the inscriptions on the tortoise shell, Yue Buqun asked, "Ning'er, have you started practicing according to the instructions on it?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
There's no need to hide it, and it can't be hidden anyway. He was the first person to obtain the Innate Skill. No one would believe him if he said he didn't practice it.
Yue Buqun nodded, unsurprised; he had simply asked the question.
"How does it feel?"
Just as Jiang Ning was about to answer, the door was suddenly opened.
Ning Zhongze walked in.
"Ning'er, what are you and your master talking about?"
Ning Zhongze said with a smile as she walked.
Yue Buqun said with a smile, "Ning'er brought me back something good."
Ning Zhongze asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Innate Skill".
"what?"
Ning Zhongze opened her eyes wide, her expression one of disbelief.
Yue Buqun handed her the tortoise shell he was holding.
He and Ning Zhongze are husband and wife, bound by a life-and-death bond, so there's no need to hide it.
After examining the tortoise shell, Ning Zhongze looked up and asked Jiang Ning, "Ning'er, besides your master, has anyone else been told about this?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Don't worry, Master's wife. No one else knows about this except Master and Master's wife."
Ning Zhongze was relieved and then overjoyed.
"Senior brother, now that Ning'er has regained the Innate Skill, there is hope for the true rise of Mount Hua!"
Yue Buqun nodded with a smile, then, as if he had thought of something, said to Jiang Ning, "Ning'er, let me see how your cultivation of the Innate Skill is going."
After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist, pushing his internal energy into Jiang Ning's body.
After a while.
Yue Buqun withdrew his hand, looking extremely surprised.
"Senior brother, how is Ning'er?"
Ning Zhongze asked from the side.
Yue Buqun nodded and said, "That's right. Ning'er has a very pure internal force in his body, which is more concentrated than his other internal forces and is even purer than my Zixia internal force."
After confirming with Jiang Ning that the technique on the tortoise shell was indeed the true innate skill, Yue Buqun was filled with joy.
From this moment on, he announced that the Purple Cloud Divine Skill could take a backseat!
From now on, the Innate Skill will be the most precious treasure of their Huashan Sect!
Our Huashan Sect has been the orthodox sect of Xuanmen and the legitimate lineage of Taoism since ancient times!
Anyone have a problem with this? Anyone object?
Wu-Tang?
After he mastered the Innate Skill, Yue Buqun wanted Chongxu to personally acknowledge that the Huashan Sect was the orthodox Taoist school.
Although the sect's economy is still not optimistic, the acquisition of the Innate Skill and the return of the Huashan Sect's lost sword techniques have given Yue Buqun the feeling of struggling to support the Huashan Sect without seeing any hope. He and the Huashan Sect's life has begun to have a future.
And all of this was brought about by Jiang Ning.
Yue Buqun looked up at Jiang Ning, his affection for her undisguised.
He never expected that the child he had just rescued on a whim would now be of such great help to him.
Chapter 42: Iron Palm Sect
“Ning’er, you have found the Innate Skill for the Huashan Sect, which is a great achievement. What do you want? As long as I have it, I will not be stingy with it.”
Even if Jiang Ning said he wanted to be the successor of the Huashan Sect and become its future leader, Yue Buqun would not hesitate.
Jiang Ning smiled upon hearing this and said, "Master, I did not retrieve the Innate Skill for the Huashan Sect for any personal gain."
"The knife that was about to fall on me is still vivid in my mind. If it weren't for my master saving me, I would have been dead long ago. I will always remember my master's life-saving grace and nurturing grace."
If you give birth but don't raise your child, you can return a severed finger.
Raising a child before he is born, it will be difficult to return in a hundred generations.
He didn't need to ask Yue Buqun for anything, just as Yue Buqun didn't ask him for anything when he saved and raised him.
All actions are voluntary.
"Ning'er, you..."
Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He never expected that Jiang Ning could remember things from when he was three years old, and that he still remembered them now. Jiang Ning even repaid him with his innate skill without asking for anything in return. This made him, who had lived for decades and seen many treacherous and ungrateful people, feel a ripple in his heart.
Ning Zhongze, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Ning with a very satisfied smile.
"This disciple will take his leave now."
Jiang Ning bowed and withdrew.
Yue Buqun watched his departing figure, speechless for a long time.
"Senior brother, Ning'er is indeed a good child, you..."
Ning Zhongze smiled as she watched Jiang Ning's retreating figure, but she was taken aback when she turned to look at Yue Buqun.
A single, glistening tear slid down Yue Buqun's cheek.
"It's windy, and sand got in my eyes."
Yue Buqun wiped his eyes, and his expression returned to calm.
Ning Zhongze looked at the tightly closed windows and doors around her, then at the clean floor, and was somewhat speechless.
……
The next morning, Jiang Ning got up and went to the backyard of the inn to feed Maodou, but found that someone was already feeding Maodou.
"Senior Sister Du?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
"Huh? Junior brother, you're awake!"
Du Lanyin turned around and saw that it was Jiang Ning, and a smile appeared on her face.
At this moment, Maodou was quietly eating the feed she was giving it, while Du Lanyin was stroking its head with one hand.
Edamame is very docile.
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."
