Both of them had witnessed the peak period of the Huashan sect and experienced the struggle between the two sword schools, and saw the decline of the Huashan sect.
When taking over this mess of a sect, how desolate they felt. For so many years, they had always taken reviving the Huashan sect as their mission, and now, they had finally persevered and could officially embark on the path of revival.
How could they not be excited?
Lian Cheng could understand this feeling. Moreover, the current Huashan sect truly needed more disciples; otherwise, development would be impossible to speak of.
However, was it not during this period that Zuo Leng Chan sent Lao De Nuo?
They couldn’t afford to be unguarded.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately suggested, “Master, Mistress, since we are going to recruit new disciples, I think the Huashan sect should make some changes.”
“Oh? What are your thoughts?”
Yue Buqun didn’t mind his disciple’s suggestions, especially since it was his most treasured disciple.
Lian Cheng said, “Master, our performance should have made the Demon Cult and the Songshan sect wary of us. They can’t get any information about our Huashan sect, so they will definitely take this opportunity to arrange for spies to join the Huashan sect disguised as new disciples. We must be careful!”
The three elders exchanged glances, all nodding.
Indeed, that was true.
“However, there are thieves for a thousand years, but no defenses for a thousand years. We can’t tell who the spies are, and it is difficult to defend against them. Why don’t we divide the sect into inner and outer disciples? Inner disciples are those who are currently within the sect, including myself and Senior Brother. We all joined the Huashan sect early on and were raised by Master and Mistress. We are the most loyal to the Huashan sect and can be absolutely trusted. Moreover, since most of us are orphans, we cannot be manipulated by the Demon Cult and Songshan sect through our families.
Newly recruited disciples will be tentatively classified as outer disciples. Outer disciples will only be taught the basic Huashan swordsmanship and the Mixed Origin Skill. They cannot access superior martial arts and cannot inquire about the sect’s important matters.
In this way, the spies will naturally have less information they can obtain, and the information they obtain will not be sect secrets.
Won’t these spies be useless?
Moreover, the sect can regularly select some outer disciples to become inner disciples, which can encourage the progress of outer disciples. Through selection, we can choose disciples with excellent qualifications and high loyalty to enter the inner sect, learn deeper martial arts, and thereby strengthen the inner sect, making inner disciples truly become the sect’s foundation!”
After hearing this, the three were stunned for a long time.
But their eyes were full of brilliance.
Linghu Chong was the first to praise, “Second Junior Brother, your suggestion is fantastic!”
Ning Zhongze also smiled, “Yes, the benefits of dividing into inner and outer disciples are enormous! Moreover, the selection system is excellent too. What we need most are disciples with good qualifications and high loyalty! The spies will definitely try their hardest to squeeze into the inner sect. When we select them, we will definitely examine them more carefully, and it should be easier to discover their presence. They are delivering themselves to us, saving us the trouble of finding them!”
Yue Buqun also nodded repeatedly, praising the suggestion.
He pondered for a moment and made a decision: “In that case, the Huashan sect needs to be restructured. I will consider it further and write down the new system in a few days. We will discuss it together then. Now, everyone go to rest.”
Lian Cheng and Linghu Chong immediately took their leave.
Yue Buqun immediately pulled his wife close to him and showed her affection. After being in seclusion for so long, he naturally wanted to get intimate with his wife.
Everything else can wait until tomorrow!
As soon as Linghu Chong stepped out, he went straight to the Cliff of Reflection. Since there was an opportunity to learn more advanced swordsmanship, he couldn’t waste even a second and had to learn as soon as possible.
Lian Cheng returned to his own room and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
He had been comprehending the “Great Profound Scripture” for the past few months, and his brain had been working at high speed, so fatigue was inevitable.
Now that he was finally able to rest, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down and slept very soundly.
But perhaps because his internal strength was too powerful and his blood was too abundant, he hadn’t slept for long before he woke up. Moreover, he was full of energy, clearly well-rested.
He looked at the sky and realized it was midnight.
“Forget it, I can’t sleep. Let’s go outside and look at the stars.”
Lian Cheng was completely determined to relax, so he didn’t have any good plans, and it was late at night. Apart from looking at the stars, there was nothing else to do.
When he reached the roof, he frowned and his expression became strange.
Perhaps because he had become much stronger and his senses had become sharper, he could now hear a sound coming from Master’s courtyard, clearly Mistress’s voice!
Well, Master had been in seclusion for half a year, and after being separated for so long, the couple naturally wanted to be close to each other.
Moreover, he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but Mistress’s voice seemed louder than usual.
Lian Cheng felt his face heat up and quickly pressed his hand against his pants. He was speechless: “I’m almost fifteen years old. In ancient times, that’s considered an adult. No wonder I have a reaction. But it’s not my fault. Who made Mistress’s voice so loud and so pleasant? And I’ve heard it before, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
After persuading himself, Lian Cheng let go of his hand.
Then he lay on the roof, looking at the stars and listening to the beautiful symphony, feeling happy. It would have been even better if his mind hadn’t been filled with random thoughts.
However, Master might have reached the peak of first-rate realm, so it seemed to be longer than before.
Hopefully, Mistress will quickly conceive another child. Having only Yue Lingshan as a daughter is not enough.
The sky gradually turned white.
Lian Cheng had been up all night and immediately sat cross-legged again, facing east and starting to circulate his internal strength cultivation method.
However, his current internal strength cultivation method was different. It was using the Great Profound Skill to drive the Purple Mist Skill, which was much faster and more efficient than the pure Purple Mist Skill.
As the sun rose, the ray of purple Qi generated by the transition between black and white flickered instantly.
Lian Cheng realized that a trace of the purple Qi seemed to be sucked into his dantian, and the internal strength in his dantian instantly boiled, starting to charge towards some acupoints.
Oh, so he could use the purple Qi of heaven and earth to cultivate!
This discovery delighted Lian Cheng.
Indeed, the “Great Profound Scripture” was definitely a cultivation martial art. Even with only half of it, it could still change the Purple Mist Skill, enabling the Purple Mist Skill to take a step further and absorb the purple Qi of heaven and earth into the body to assist in cultivation.
As long as he absorbed a trace of the purple Qi of heaven and earth every day during the transition between black and white, and persisted for a long time, breaking through to the peak of first-rate realm would not be far off!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With the impact of internal strength, several acupoints in Lian Cheng’s body were broken through, and his internal strength became even more abundant. This progress was very obvious, making Lian Cheng’s spirit soar.
“But acupoints cannot be charged casually, otherwise it’s easy to get hurt, so I need to learn more about acupoints.”
Lian Cheng made plans for what to do next, then jumped off the roof and began to practice his swordsmanship.
Even though he was familiar with the swordsmanship, he had to practice every day to prevent his body from becoming rusty.
