Sunflower Manual Shows Its Might (1)

Li Wei let out a long breath, and his clothes moved without wind. At this point, he had achieved a minor success in his internal energy cultivation.

But at this moment, Li Wei knew that the power of the Sunflower Manual and the Evil-Resisting Sword Manual within his body was several times stronger than when he had achieved minor success in the 'Innate Skill'. He believed that if he continued to cultivate, it would reach an extremely terrifying level.

Holding the steel sword he had previously seized in his hand, Li Wei infused it with his true energy, leaped up, and swung it a few times at the Rock Wall. Instantly, the rock was cut into small pieces like tofu and fell down.

"With my current strength, I should be able to overpower Yu Canghai even if we face him. There are only a few days left until Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony, so I should head over there first!" Li Wei sheathed his steel sword and walked out.

Meanwhile, Duan Yu, Duan Yu was cultivating in the outer cave, had also made some progress. Upon seeing Li Wei, he happily showed off his skills. With a flick of Duan Yu finger, an invisible stream of air burst forth, cleaving the weeds several meters away in two.

Li Wei nodded. Duan Yu now possessed some fighting strength, but to his Duan Yu, Duan Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Li, this isn't the Qi-Finger Sword you taught me, but my Six Meridian Divine Sword..."

Li Wei was taken aback.

He immediately remembered that when he acquired Duan Yu in the game, the kid was carrying the Six Meridian Divine Sword Manual. How could he have forgotten about that?

So, that sword energy just now was the Six Meridian Divine Sword?

"Brother Duan, could you lend me the Six Meridian Divine Sword Manual so I can take a look?" Li Wei suddenly felt a little itchy; the Six Meridian Divine Sword was a unique skill, and it would be a real pity not to see it.

Duan Yu casually took out a thread-bound booklet and handed it to Li Wei.

"The Six Meridian Divine Sword, a martial arts classic, rated A-level, is the highest martial art in the Dali Duan Clan family, created by Duan Siping, the founding emperor of Dali."

After glancing at the cultivation techniques in the booklet, Li Wei roughly memorized them, but then handed the sword manual back to Duan Yu.

Although the Six Meridian Divine Sword is powerful, Li Wei knew the principle of not biting off more than he could chew. He had many advanced techniques in his mind, but he only chose to cultivate the Sunflower Manual, and that was the reason.

Here, there are no skills that can be learned instantly; you can only rely on your own steady and diligent practice, step by step. If you want to become a master, you must be focused.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the True Qi-Controlling Formula, Li Wei was able to cultivate the Sunflower Manual smoothly. Moreover, Li Wei also felt that the divine skill he had cultivated seemed to be quite different from the legendary skill of Dongfang Bubai.

His own Sunflower Manual skill had absolutely no feminine energy; on the contrary, it was far more powerful and fierce.

Since Duan Yu has begun to cultivate the Six Meridian Divine Sword on his own, that's for the best. Judging from Duan Yu's current combat strength, he's not much weaker than me. He'll be a good helper when we fight enemies in the future.

Emerging from the nameless cave, Li Wei and Duan Yu headed towards Liu Zhengfeng's residence.

With their internal strength enhanced, their speed of movement was incomparable to before. In just half a morning, Li Wei and his companion arrived at a mountain tea stall, which seemed to be a place for travelers to rest and find a place to stay.

From a distance, Li Wei could see two or three travelers sitting at several tables in the tea stall. One of them was a short, stout hunchback, who looked to be around 40 years old. He had a hunchback sword at his waist and an ugly appearance.

Looking at the hunchback, Li Wei thought to himself that if he wasn't mistaken, this ugly hunchback should be the "Northern Frontier Camel," Mu Gaofeng.

To think that he would encounter this person here, Li Wei pondered for a moment and concluded that the other person must be on his way to attend the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony at Liu Zhengfeng's place in the Hengshan Sect.

Suddenly, a plan popped into Li Wei's mind.

Li Wei glanced at the hunchback and smiled slightly.

After Mu Gaofeng got up and left, Li Wei followed him. After a long while, Li Wei returned again, now carrying a faint smell of blood.

Just now, he ambushed Mu Gaofeng in the woods. Possessing the Sunflower Divine Skill, Li Wei directly infused the leaves with his true energy and threw them at his opponent. Although Mu Gaofeng had been famous for a long time, his martial arts skills were mediocre. In the first round, he was injured in the hands and feet by the hidden weapon, the leaf. Next, Li Wei directly used the Misty Cloud Thirteen Forms. Under the Sunflower Divine Skill, the power of the Mount Heng Swordsmanship greatly increased. In just over thirty moves, he cut down Mu Gaofeng with his sword.

Mu Gaofeng's clothes, weapons, and even the bone name tag all ended up in Li Wei's hands.

The reason Li Wei killed Mu Gaofeng was to use the hunchback's name to participate in the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony. Moreover, Li Wei had always disliked the hunchback. In addition, Li Wei wanted to test the power of his Sunflower Divine Skill. Therefore, Mu Gaofeng was unlucky and died without understanding why this highly skilled young man would attack him.

After resting briefly in the thatched hut, Li Wei headed to Liu Zhengfeng's residence in Mount Heng.

Along the way, we encountered many martial artists in a hurry. It seemed that they were all participating in this conference, which suggests that the Hengshan Sect holds a high position in the martial arts world.

As for Li Wei, if it weren't for accepting Qi Lao's mission, he wouldn't have wasted his time here. The Book of Heaven "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was in Dongfang Bubai's hands; he could have simply killed Dongfang Bubai to obtain it.

Liu Residence, Li Wei found a place to change into Mu Gaofeng's clothes. The task on the Black Paper was to ensure Liu Zhengfeng's survival, which was a physically demanding job, and Li Wei needed to be well-prepared.

Meanwhile, a large number of martial arts figures had gathered inside the Liu Residence. The host, Liu Zhengfeng, was receiving them one by one, with servants occasionally reading out visiting cards aloud to highlight the guests' prestige.

"Master Zhikong of Shaolin has arrived..."

"Master Dingyi of Mount Heng in the North has arrived..."

"Sect Leader Yue of the Mount Hua Sect has arrived..."

"..."

"The great hero of the Northern Frontier Camel, Mu Gaofeng, has arrived..."

Upon hearing this name, everyone was taken aback, but then smiled disdainfully. The reputation of this hunchback had been circulating in the martial arts world for over a decade. He was known by name but never by appearance, and very few people had actually seen him. It was said that he was mediocre in martial arts and ugly in appearance. They wondered why he had the time to come here today.

Sure enough, a short while later, a hunchback wearing a straw hat walked in from outside the door, followed closely by a man in blue. Everyone guessed that the man was probably the hunchback's disciple.

"Look, this hunchback really doesn't dare to show his true face!" A disciple from a major sect whispered to his fellow disciple beside him with a laugh.

"Yes, he might not even be a match for you, Senior Brother!" another disciple said with a smile.

Mu Gaofeng was utterly insignificant compared to the many prestigious sects, so he quickly went unnoticed. However, another hunchbacked man in the crowd stared at Mu Gaofeng with a glint in his eyes.

The welcoming ceremony continued for a while longer, and basically all the reputable sects that could make it had arrived. At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting to everyone, and said, "Thank you, fellow disciples, sect leader, and renowned figures of the martial world, for attending my retirement ceremony..."

The imposter in the crowd, pretending to be Mu Gaofeng, was Li Wei. He shook his head, thinking to himself that Liu Zhengfeng had no idea he was in deep trouble!

Looking in the direction of the Mount Hua Sect, Li Wei didn't find Linghu Chong. In the story, Linghu Chong should have been injured by Tian Boguang and was outside at the moment. After rescuing Liu Zhengfeng, Li Wei decided to find Linghu Chong, because he couldn't deal with Dongfang Bubai without him.

Afterwards, he would take Linghu Chong to the back of Mount Hua to find Feng Qingyang to practice the Nine Swords of Dugu, thus gaining another powerful ally.

As for the Nine Swords of Dugu... Li Wei, hunched over, stroked his chin under his straw hat, wanting to see what was so special about this peerless sword technique.

At this moment, the Golden Basin Hand-Washing Ceremony had reached its climax. Li Wei knew that Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand from Mount Song, would soon come to disrupt the proceedings. At that time, Liu Zhengfeng's entire family and the Demonic Sect Elder Qu Yang would all be seriously injured and then die.

Li Wei certainly couldn't let that happen. If it did, his mission to 'save Liu Zhengfeng's would be considered a failure, and the penalty for failure would be a reduction of half of his attributes. Just for that reason alone, Li Wei absolutely wouldn't allow Liu Zhengfeng to die.

Even if it involves the use of force.

Having mastered the minor version of the Sunflower Manual, Li Wei, while not reaching the level of a top-tier master, was already a force to be reckoned with, easily surpassing the leaders of minor sects. Moreover, with Duan Yu by his side, ensuring Liu Zhengfeng's survival should be more than enough.

At this moment, a sudden situation startled everyone.

"Who are you, daring to ambush me!" A furious voice rang out from the side.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei was secretly delighted, for it was the voice of his cheap master, Yu Canghai.

Everyone present looked over there and saw that a hunchback had been grabbed by the wrist by Yu Canghai and was squatting on the ground, his face contorted with pain from the wrist.

Even so, the hunchback still endured the pain and cursed, "Hmph, you old dog Yu, you shameless scoundrel, everyone has the right to kill you!"

Yu Canghai, being the leader of a sect, had never been insulted like this before. He was so angry that his face turned red, and he increased the force of his grip by ten percent.

The little hunchback gritted his teeth in pain, cold sweat already streaming down his forehead.

"Speak! Who are you? Who instructed you? You have insulted me, and I will seek justice before all the heroes of the world!" Yu Canghai said solemnly.

"Hmph, justice? You old dog Canghai, you call yourself a grandmaster, but all you do are despicable things. Bah!" The little hunchback's words made his wrist hurt even more.

Yu Canghai wasn't stupid. He looked at the hunchback's attire and was taken aback. He asked, "You... what is your relationship with Mu Gaofeng Mu Gaofeng of the Northern Frontier Camel?"

It's no wonder Yu Canghai was suspicious; the little hunchback's attire was too similar to that of the Northern Frontier Camel, which is why he asked that question.

To everyone's surprise, the hunchback laughed heartily, "You, Yu Gou, dare to address Master Mu by his name? Master Mu is a true grandmaster. Not only is his martial arts superb, but his character is also far superior to that of you Qingcheng Sect dogs..."

"Fine, fine, I'd like to see just how this esteemed Master Mu is better than me!" Yu Canghai laughed angrily, turning his head to fix his gaze on another hunchback wearing a straw hat in the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "What, Master Mu, aren't you going to say something?"
