Leaving Qingcheng, Seizing the Sword Manual, Cultivating the Manual

"Since you're Qingcheng Sect disciple, aren't you going to tell Abbot Yu that someone has sneaked into your sect?" Even in this situation, Linghu Chong didn't lose his carefree demeanor at all.

In Li Wei's opinion, Linghu Chong was like a duck; even if he was about to die, he would never lose a word.

If Yu Canghai really found out, he would definitely be in trouble. Yu Canghai is a narrow-minded person, and he would definitely take the opportunity to deal with Linghu Chong. Li Wei shook his head. Since he had made up his mind to win over Linghu Chong, he would of course not tell Yu Canghai.

Before Li Wei could say anything, he heard a sound behind him. Turning around, he saw the pale-faced young man, Nie Xingyuan. Nie Xingyuan stared at Linghu Chong and immediately shouted.

"Oh no!" Li Wei slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "How did this kid get out here?"

In the quiet night, Nie Xingyuan's shouts quickly had an effect, and Li Wei immediately felt several powerful forces rushing towards them.

In desperation, Li Wei came up with a plan and immediately shouted to Linghu Chong, "You little thief, don't run! My Qingcheng Sect experts will be here soon. No matter whose sect you belong to, you will have to give my Qingcheng Sect an explanation!"

Li Wei's words, on the surface a rebuke, were actually a warning. "People are coming soon. Imagine the consequences if your sect is discovered!"

Linghu Chong wasn't stupid; he could tell what was going on, so he looked at Li Wei with a slightly puzzled expression, then turned and ran.

The Qingcheng Sect disciple was right. If his master found out that he had secretly infiltrated the Qingcheng Sect, his strict master would definitely punish him severely. It was better to run away as soon as possible.

Moreover, I just overheard Yu Canghai and several of his core disciples plotting to seize the Lin Family's Seventy-Two of Evil-Resisting Sword Manual in another courtyard. I need to report this to my master as soon as possible, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing Linghu Chong jump over the wall, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. However, his escape plan for tonight had failed. The entire Qingcheng Sect searched the mountain thoroughly in the latter half of the night. Yu Canghai even came to question Li Wei and Nie Xingyuan personally. Li Wei only said that he went to the outhouse in the middle of the night and encountered the thief. As for the thief's appearance, he described him as a notorious bandit.

Nie Xingyuan couldn't explain why either. He did go to the outhouse, but in his half-awake state, he didn't see clearly.

The matter was simply dropped.

The next day, Li Wei was woken up early by the disciples in charge of miscellaneous tasks. After having breakfast, he changed into his training clothes and went to the training room with Nie Xingyuan.

This training room is basically a large courtyard with two rows of weapon racks, sandbags, and wooden stakes. Some disciples who arrived early have already started practicing.

After waiting a while, Yu Canghai arrived. Before him were two personal disciples and eleven ordinary disciples newly accepted yesterday. Li Wei thought he would directly impart the so-called 'Qingcheng Sect Secret Techniques', but to his dismay, Yu Canghai actually began to talk about some of the 'glorious' history of the Qingcheng Sect. Li Wei had always looked down on this kind of behavior of always bringing up the founder to show off. If the ancestors were capable, that was their achievement. But nowadays, people are not ambitious, yet they still cling to the great deeds of their ancestors, which is a kind of regression.

After at least an hour of this, Yu Canghai finally took a sip of the tea offered by a servant disciple and slowly said, "Now, I will teach you the basic internal energy incantations. Listen carefully..."

Yu Canghai recited incantations on qi cultivation, and the newly recruited disciples could only stare wide-eyed, trying to memorize them. When the master personally passed on the incantations, they were always passed down orally, without any secret manuals or books. This was to prevent the sect's techniques from being leaked.

But in Li Wei's opinion, this basic internal energy cultivation method of the Qingcheng Sect was simply not worth mentioning. It was not even comparable to the E-level internal energy Primordial Origin Skill, Hunyuan Gong, let alone the Innate Skill and the Sunflower Manual.

Even if such a technique were leaked, who would learn it?

But Li Wei didn't know that there weren't many profound martial arts techniques in the world. If the Qingcheng Sect didn't have some real skills, how could they have established their own sect? Did he think everyone was like him, with their minds full of profound martial arts manuals?

As for the Pine Peak Swordplay taught by several disciples who were passing on their skills, Li Wei shook his head.

The mission to collect the Book of Heaven only has one year left, and Li Wei doesn't want to waste any more time at the Qingcheng Sect. However, leaving the sect now isn't an easy task. Fortunately, Li Wei will soon have an opportunity.

Yu Canghai and some of his core disciples were about to head out.

Li Wei only needed to think for a moment to know what they were up to—they were going to the Fuwei Escort Agency to steal the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual.

After Yu Canghai and the others left Mount Qingcheng, Li Wei found an opportunity to secretly slip out of the Qingcheng Sect.

When Li Wei first played this game, he knew that to complete it quickly, he had to trigger as many story events and missions as possible, and to do that, he had to find key characters.

Thinking of this, Li Wei immediately summoned the Black Paper and began to examine the map.

After a long while, Li Wei finally raised his head, quickly descended the mountain to the small town at the foot of the mountain, bought a horse with the silver he had on him, and galloped away.

The next day, Li Wei arrived at a place marked on the map called 'High Ascension Inn'.

If Li Wei's memory serves him correctly, he will encounter a very important character here.

As soon as he entered, Li Wei looked around and, sure enough, saw a young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in a blue shirt, next to a table.

He's the one!

Li Wei smiled slightly and stepped forward.

When Li Wei walked out of the High Ascension Inn again, the young man in blue was already following behind him; he was Duan Yu.

In the game, Duan Yu is the easiest character to join the team. You only need to say a few words and get on his good side. Moreover, his combat power is quite good in the later stages. Naturally, Li Wei would not let go of such a companion.

"Brother Li, where are we going?" Duan Yu asked from behind, Duan Yu like a bewildered young boy.

"Come with me to a place!" Li Wei had already planned a detailed strategy for completing the mission while he was at the Qingcheng Sect.

Li Wei also had a target for the Book of Heaven he wanted to seize: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer, the Return of the Condor Heroes, and The White Horse Neighs in the West Wind. Of course, before that, he had to improve his combat power as much as possible, and to improve his combat power, having excellent martial arts skills was essential.

Li Wei's next destination was the Lin Family Old Residence.

According to the plot, the Seventy-Two of the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual is hidden there. Li Wei has practiced the Sunflower Manual, but because he did not meet the 'prerequisites', he has been unable to achieve any results. The Evil-Resisting Sword Manual and the Sunflower Manual are from the same source, so perhaps he can find some ways to break through in that sword manual.

Of course, if all else fails, Li Wei will give up practicing this martial art and switch to other techniques; otherwise, it will all be for naught.

In less than two days, Li Wei arrived at the Lin Family Old Residence. Judging by the time, Lin Pingzhi's family had probably just been slaughtered by Yu Canghai and his gang, so the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual should still be here.

Li Wei climbed onto the roof beam and, following the instructions in the story, removed a tile, quickly finding the legendary sword manual.

"The Seventy-Two of Evil-Expelling Swordplay, a martial arts manual, rated A-level. With this sword technique, the Lin Family ancestor was once very prominent. This is an unparalleled martial arts secret!"

Found it!

Just as he was about to jump down from the roof beam, Li Wei had an idea. He took out the forged Evil-Resisting Sword Manual from his pocket and placed it under the roof tile exactly as it was.

Only then did he jump down from the roof beam and leave the Lin Family Old Residence. After all, it would be bad if the plot changed because he took away the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual. With this forged Evil-Resisting Sword Manual, such a problem would not occur. Moreover, Li Wei was also very curious to know what would happen after Yue Buqun practiced his fabricated sword manual.

With a month to go before Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony next month, Li Wei planned to spend that time cultivating his martial arts.

After examining the map on the Black Paper again, Li Wei found a mountain relatively close to Liu Zhengfeng's residence, discovered an uninhabited cave, and began his first seclusion in the mission world.

As for Duan Yu, Li Wei directly gave him a "Qi-Finger Sword" technique, which was a martial art that Li Wei had seized from other reincarnators. It was an E-level technique, and since Duan Yu was going to cultivate the Six Meridian Divine Sword later, "Qi-Finger Sword" could be considered as giving Duan Yu a foundation.

In the following period, Li Wei continued to study the two precious manuals, but at first he made no progress. No matter how much he tried to cultivate, he failed because of the inexplicable heat coming from his lower abdomen. However, later, Li Wei accidentally recalled the 'Mount Shu True Qi-Controlling Formula' and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Both the Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Expelling Swordplay rely on very special Yin-type internal energy, and their methods of circulation are peculiar. They can only be practiced by men who have undergone castration. Otherwise, whether it is a woman or a man who still has his virginity, the terrifying heat will ultimately lead to failure in cultivation.

However, the True Qi-Controlling Formula is a method for controlling and harmonizing internal energy. Could it be used to assist in cultivation?

Li Wei immediately began practicing the True Qi-Controlling Formula. He was very familiar with the incantation, and in less than ten days, he had mastered it to a minor level. Next, he focused on harmonizing the Yin-type internal energy. Sure enough, after practicing with the True Qi-Controlling Formula, the condensed true energy no longer had the initial 'yin-type' energy, and the heat in his lower abdomen disappeared without a trace. Now, Li Wei put all his effort into practicing the two precious manuals.

Another ten days have passed.

A thick mass of true energy had already formed within his body, but this true energy was different from the previous ones. It was actually curled up like silk. Li Wei picked up a fallen leaf from the ground and flicked it out.

This move employed the Sunflower Manual; the originally fragile leaves were now as if forged from steel, piercing the stone wall inside the cave with lightning speed, completely disappearing into it.

"The Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Expelling Swordplay truly live up to their reputation as martial arts manuals; they are indeed powerful. I never imagined that by using the True Qi-Controlling Formula to assist in cultivation, I could cultivate these supreme martial arts without castration. I've really struck gold."
