Chapter 4 Shake
【Teaching】This skill is equally important whether it is "teaching" or "learning".

If you want people to learn wholeheartedly, it is obviously not enough to just rely on words. What is more important is to teach by example!

This is why Li Anran did so much preparation.

Whether it is the "speed" of "countering speed with speed" at the beginning, or the "strength" of "using force to break cleverness" later, it all comes down to "Qi", or internal strength.

People are born different, with different strengths, different speeds, but their inner strength is almost omnipotent!

It can make people stronger, faster, tougher, and their five senses sharper, and they can even detect invisible murderous hostility!
Li Anran wholeheartedly agrees with the Huashan School's core principle of being based on Qi, and has devoted most of his energy in recent years to cultivating internal skills.

This is also the reason why his [Internal Strength] stands out as high as level 6, and the experience value even exceeds the sum of all other skills!

Other people in the Huashan Sect also know the key point of "taking Qi as the basis".

However, most of them regarded this sentence as a slogan. They shouted it loudly but did not really agree with it in their hearts. They would rather spend their energy on sword skills that would produce quick results.

Li Anran corrected it many times, but it was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Having encountered such a good opportunity today, he naturally would not let it go!
With the experience of his fight with Linghu Chong in mind, the weight of his words was completely different from before!

With the help of the system's skills, he is confident that he can reverse the misconceptions of all Huashan disciples in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the entire Youshuobuweixuan instantly became quiet.

The system also gives up to 45 experience points!
For a moment, not to mention the Huashan disciples like Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, even Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze fell into deep thought.

"If you stick to sword techniques and fist techniques, you will fall behind and betray the Huashan Sect."

Linghu Chong only felt a flash of lightning in his mind, and countless inspirations burst out, as if a whole new world had opened its door to him, and he trembled with excitement.

Yue Buqun was also chewing over these words in his mind.

However, his focus is on the word "authentic".

Because of the dispute over sword energy, Yue Buqun's attitude towards swordsmanship has been very contradictory over the years.

On the one hand, in order to improve his strength, he had to practice hard day and night, but on the other hand, he regarded swordsmanship as a scourge and was afraid that he would become addicted to it and go astray.

After hearing what Li Anran said, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"If my faith is strong enough, why would I worry about myself getting addicted to swordsmanship and going astray?"

For an instant.

Yue Buqun's face changed drastically, and he felt as if struck by lightning, with cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

Ning Zhongze noticed that Yue Buqun looked a little strange, and asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Buqun calmed himself down and made an excuse: "I have been traveling these days, so I may be a little tired."

He also reminded all the disciples, "What your senior brother just said is not wrong, but it is still too far away for you. Don't aim too high, just concentrate on practicing Qigong first, that is the right way."

"You must be tired on the journey, so go back and rest early today. We can discuss the rest tomorrow."

All the disciples took their leave and left.

Yue Lingshan wanted to stay, but was also driven out by Ning Zhongze.

"Shan'er, your Junior Brother Lin has just arrived. You and your Third Senior Brother should help him put away his luggage and take him for a walk."

After everyone left, Ning Zhongze stepped forward and closed the door, then asked, "Brother, what happened to you just now? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Yue Buqun sighed deliberately and said, "Looking at Ran'er and Chong'er, I can't help but think of Brother Liu Zhengfeng's family and disciples who died tragically. For a moment, I felt a little sad."

Ning Zhongze was puzzled and asked, "Brother, why do you have such an idea? Liu Zhengfeng made friends with the evil sect and was exterminated by the Songshan Sect. Our Huashan Sect is upright and honest. How dare the Songshan Sect take the risk of the world's condemnation to attack our Huashan Sect?" Yue Buqun smiled bitterly and said, "Junior sister, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext! Zuo Lengchan is ambitious and has long been dissatisfied with the position of the leader of the Five Mountains. I'm afraid he has long wanted to merge the Five Mountains sword sects into one and become the head of the Five Mountains."

Seeing that Ning Zhongze still didn't quite believe it, Yue Buqun continued, "Hengshan and Songshan are thousands of miles apart, but the Songshan Sect knew about Liu Zhengfeng's friendship with Qu Yang, and captured everyone in Liu Zhengfeng's mansion in a short time. Don't you find it strange?"

Ning Zhongze was shocked: "Brother, do you mean that the Songshan Sect has planted spies in the Hengshan Sect?!"

He suddenly thought of Yue Buqun's wink at him earlier and asked, "Does our Huashan Sect have one too?"

Then, a name flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, "Laodenuo?"

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Except for the Songshan Sect, I'm afraid he has people planted in the other four sects."

Ning Zhongze also connected the events of the past two years and suddenly realized: "No wonder you cancelled the internal competitions in the past two years, it turns out that you were afraid that he would get a glimpse of the Huashan Sect's strengths and weaknesses, so you arranged various tasks for him and sent him down the mountain for this reason! I thought..."

Yue Buqun smiled and took over the conversation: "Do you think I respect him because of his rich experience? He is a few years older than me. Even if he has rich experience, what's the use? How many years can he be useful? It's just a last resort!"

Ning Zhongze gnashed his teeth and said, "What a wicked and heartless fellow! It's a pity that I felt sorry for him and even persuaded you, brother, to take him in!"

Yue Buqun consoled her, “Junior sister, don’t blame yourself. Since the Songshan Sect is determined to plant spies in my Huashan Sect, even if there is no Lao Denuo, there will be Li Denuo and Zhang Denuo. They may even try to win over our disciples and turn them against us.”

"With Lao Denuo at the forefront, we will be much more relaxed. We can also use him to pass some false information to the Songshan Sect to paralyze Zuo Lengchan."

Ning Zhongze asked, "Brother, since you have decided to hide your strength and pretend to be nice, why didn't you stop Ran'er today?"

Yue Buqun looked solemn: "Since Zuo Lengchan has already attacked Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect, it means that he can no longer hold back and is ready to attack our four sects. It is no use pretending to be nice now. We can only fight back when the enemy comes."

Ning Zhongze stopped talking, but his expression showed his worry.

The Huashan Sect has long lost its former glory. She and Yue Buqun are the only two disciples of the first generation, and the rest are second-generation disciples.

The Songshan School is full of talented people. In addition to Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Five Mountains, there are also the famous Thirteen Guardians, and the rest of the disciples are countless.

Ning Zhongze said: "Brother, should we tell the others about this matter..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Zhongze stopped talking.

In the absence of solid evidence, rashly saying that Zuo Lengchan had ill intentions would be tantamount to handing a knife to the Songshan Sect.

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment and said, "Junior sister, I want to pass on the Purple Cloud Magic Skill to Ran'er and Chong'er. What do you think?"

Ning Zhongze's eyes lit up, and he expressed his approval without hesitation: "If Ran'er Chong'er can master the Purple Cloud Skill, our Huashan Sect may be able to compete with the Songshan Sect."

Yue Buqun hummed and said, "Junior sister, please help me arrange the incense and candles. I will go to the back hall to report this matter to the ancestors of our sect."

In just a moment, Ning Zhongze had made all the arrangements.

The two walked to the back hall.

As they were walking, Ning Zhongze discovered that Yue Buqun had stopped.

Turning around, he saw Yue Buqun staring at the plaque on the beam that read "Control the Sword with Qi" in a daze.

"Senior Brother?" Ning Zhongze asked doubtfully.

Yue Buqun came back to his senses, smiled at Ning Zhongze, indicating that he was fine, and walked directly to the incense table in the back hall, kowtowed respectfully, and did not get up for a long time.

Ning Zhongze just thought that Yue Buqun was preparing to break the rule of his master's sect that the "Purple Cloud Divine Art" was only passed on to the sect leader and the sect leader's successor, and was apologizing to the ancestors.

Little did they know that Yue Buqun was examining and reflecting on his inner self——

When did you begin to doubt and waver in the Qi Sect's principle of "controlling the sword with Qi"?

Is it the time when Zixia's magic power has reached a bottleneck and its strength is increasing slowly?
Was it during the "Sword Qi Contest" when you saw those Sword Sect disciples easily killing their fellow Qi Sect brothers?
Or was it even earlier, when he saw those Sword Sect disciples rapidly improving in strength while he could only stay in the house and meditate silently?
