Chapter 35: Alliance?

  As soon as Ye Wen's words came out, Yue Hang immediately became excited and shouted at his son: "Don't you serve tea yet?"

  Although Yue Ning was not very old, children at that time were sensible and mature early, let alone the strict family education of the Yue family. This child was also very clever and understood as soon as he came in and listened to a few words that his father had found him a master.

  He had thought it was that old Taoist with a goatee at first, but he didn't expect it to be this young man who seemed to be only a few years older than himself.

  But he would never dare to say such a thing, let alone that he had also heard his father's words and would not have any doubts about his father's judgment. Since his father asked him to worship this person as a teacher, there must be his father's reason.

  Without hesitation, he immediately took the teacup from the servant's hand, knelt down and handed it to Ye Wen with both hands, saying softly: "Master, please have some tea!"

  Yue Wen took the tea cup and then took a sip: "You go pack up now, and follow me back to the mountain gate later. Only after you've paid respects to our ancestors will you be considered a true member of Wushan Gate!"

  "I understand!"

  "Get up, go and tidy up!" Ye Wen nodded, then watched as his first disciple after becoming the sect leader slowly left. Afterwards, he said to Yue Hang: "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking Ning'er up the mountain soon, and in the future, Yue Ning will probably have to live on the mountain for a long time!"

  Yue Hang also understood this truth and immediately waved his hand to indicate understanding: "But why did Ye Zhangmen leave in such a hurry? It wouldn't be bad to stay for a few more days before returning to the mountain!"

  Ye Wen shook his head and didn't respond.

  Others may not know why, but he himself understands. Yaoyao's sale contract has never been taken out and is still held by Tianle Gang. Although she says on the surface that she doesn't care, in reality, she is still a little worried.

  He's quite familiar with the situation in his own sect, and for now, he considers himself a good hand, and his junior sister is also a good hand. If the Tianle Gang really comes to grab people, he doesn't have confidence that he can definitely defeat his opponent.

  "No matter how I think about it, it's still because of my own lack of ability!"

  Although he has now fully mastered the Quanzhen Heart Method and is considered a top-notch expert in this mountainous region, if he were to compete with others in the entire Pingzhou province, he would be no match.

  To say nothing of others, the Liu Qingfeng present has a much deeper inner power than himself. In recent days, he has also communicated with Liu Qingfeng a lot and learned that the Huoyang Dan Qi of the Hushan Sect is very powerful and overbearing. This Liu Zhenren has already practiced this set of internal skills to a considerable extent.

  It's just that Ye Wen found it strange that since Hu Shan Sect was a sect with internal strength cultivation techniques, why were their disciples' attainments so weak?

  Actually, Ye Wen didn't know that the internal skill of Hu Shan Sect was just this one set of Hu Yang Dan Qi. This set of skills was created by the founder of Hu Shan Sect when his own internal skills had reached a certain level. Therefore, this set of internal skills has a problem that makes Hu Shan Sect disciples feel both depressed and helpless - if their internal skills are not good enough, they can't practice!

  The Hu Shan Sect doesn't have any entry-level internal skills, all the disciples rely on a rough and crude breathing technique that is only slightly better than what Ye Wen practiced in the past. After years of practicing this breathing technique, they can finally cultivate their internal energy to the level where they can practice the Tiger Yang Dan Qi, which is the sect's ultimate skill.

  That is to say, Hu Shan Sect has an embarrassing problem of broken martial arts files. They have a barely usable introductory breathing method and the top-level skills of the sect, but they don't have that set of skills in between that can connect the upper and lower levels.

  This results in the disciples of Hu Shan Sect being only slightly stronger than those who practice tricks on the streets before they learn Hu Yang Dan Qi, with only one or two exceptionally talented ones possibly doing better. Only then can they start learning Hu Yang Dan Qi and leave their fellow disciples far behind. It is not until then that they are considered to have entered the eyes of some top masters.

  Liu Qingfeng is considered to be quite talented in the Hu Shan Sect, and he started practicing the Hu Yang Dan Qi at an early age. Now, after a long period of cultivation, he has mastered this set of powerful internal energy skills with ease. In the Ping Zhou region, he is also considered a top figure.

  Compared with Hu Shan Pai, Ye Wen is undoubtedly much luckier. His Quan Zhen Xin Fa has no entry restrictions and can be cultivated as long as he has a little bit of internal skill foundation.

  Moreover, before that, Ye Wen's body had already practiced the basic method of Tu Na, and had a bit of Qi feeling. Later, he also used the foundation internal skill to lay down the foundation for his rest internal skill, and then cultivating the Quanzhen Heart Method was a matter of course, and there was no restriction on his progress speed due to some messy cultivation.

  Moreover, the moves summoned by his ring are basically what he can currently use. It won't summon a move with decent power that he can't cultivate (at most it will just summon some inexplicable things!)

  At this point, Ye Wen has a huge advantage, and believing that this advantage will also become the advantage of Shu Shan Sect. After all, when a sect has a complete ladder-like martial arts system that can be improved, it is almost only a matter of time for the sect to become a first-rate sect.

  Because this means that a sect can cultivate a group of good hands with similar levels in batches, and with many disciples with excellent martial arts skills, this sect will naturally become a top-notch sect in the Jianghu.

  In the entire Pingzhou, neither the Hu Shan Sect nor any other sect has a complete martial arts system like this, so they often need to rely on luck when trying to cultivate top-notch experts.

  These things were only known in detail by Ye Wen after a period of time. At present, he is still wondering why the gap in martial arts between the disciples of Hu Shan Pai is so obvious.

  After bidding farewell to Yue Hang and others, Liu Qingfeng also took his two apprentices to continue wandering around. He originally thought that this trip would allow him to stay outside for a good while, but Xu Xian's sudden change of mind disrupted his plan to let his apprentices gain experience. Now he can only take his two apprentices on the road to see what the current martial arts world is like.

  Lao Dao left Yueshan Escort Agency with Ye Wen and they exited the county town together. Before parting ways, Lao Dao had a few words with Ye Wen in private.

  "Does Ye Zhangmen think his martial arts skills are how?"

  "It's barely enough to get started, it doesn't count for anything!" Ye Wen has also read many characters, and his own skills are nothing to brag about. Let alone being a master, even if he were to grab a random Quanzhen disciple from the original work, he wouldn't be any worse - but those Quanzhen disciples in the original work ended up in a tragic mess.

  Liu Qingfeng nodded: "What does Ye Zhangmen think of my kung fu?"

  During this period, Ye Wen and Liu Qingfeng were not very familiar with each other, but they roughly understood each other. After that day, the two people also discussed martial arts - Ye Wen wanted to take the opportunity to understand what level the Hu Shan School was at, and it was also during that time that he gained a deeper understanding of Liu Qingfeng's cultivation.

  The old Taoist also gained an understanding of Ye Wen's martial arts during that time, and only then did he realize that he had misjudged Ye Wen's martial arts on that day. However, he also saw that Ye Wen's internal strength was the kind that was steady and reliable, although progress was slow but won in stability.

  Unlike the kung fu he had learned before, Hu Yang Dan Qi has many restrictions, but once it is practiced, its power is extraordinary. However, the progress afterwards will slow down, and the extent to which one can practice depends on individual talent. Yewen is different, even if the talent is average, as long as you work hard and practice diligently, you will be able to see progress.

  So he knew that Ye Wen's kung fu was not as high as he had imagined, but like Yue Hang, he was very optimistic about Ye Wen's future.

  Moreover, he also saw that Ye Wen's inner strength seemed to have no entry restrictions. If so, as long as he joined the Shu Mountain Sect, it would be sooner or later become an internal family expert. Such a sect could eventually find its own place in the Jianghu.

  It's just...

  Before Ye Wen could speak, Liu Qingfeng directly said: "Don't laugh at me, Ye Zhangmen, my skills in Pingzhou are still decent, but if I really went to the Central Plains... Hehe..." The rest was not spoken, but from Liu Qingfeng's expression, Ye Wen also understood.

  But this conclusion made Ye Wen somewhat surprised, could it be that the Pingzhou martial arts world was so far behind the mainstream forces of today's Jianghu?

  As if seeing Ye Wen's doubts, the old Taoist nodded and replied: "The gap is indeed very large. I suppose Ye Zhangmen also understands why I care so much about that matter as soon as it involves Tianle Gang!"

  "That day, Le Bang had a lot of private dealings, but he was able to stand firm in the current martial arts world and even opened branches everywhere, showing that his power was not ordinary. This time, Ye Zhangmen stood on the side of reason, but offending Tianle Gang would bring a lot of trouble in the future!"

  Ye Wen nodded, this time he realized that the enemy he was about to face would be even stronger than he had expected. This conclusion gave him a sense of urgency, and he couldn't wait to return to the mountain to cultivate his skills further, so that when trouble came, he would have more confidence.

  Liu Qingfeng also saw that Ye Wen was thinking of a way to deal with it, and said: "Ye Zhangmen doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. Although it can be considered as offending the Tianle Gang, after all, it's just a small conflict. I think they won't take it too seriously at first. Besides, they want to investigate Ye Zhangmen, but it's not something that can be done in a short time!"

  "Moreover, as an old Daoist, I will also be implicated and cannot escape. At that time, my Hu Shan Sect will not sit idly by and ignore justice and righteousness!"

  Having heard this, Ye Wen finally understood that Liu Qingfeng wanted to say so much to him, and it all boiled down to the fact that Tiger Mountain Sect was involved. However, Tiger Mountain Sect was afraid of not being able to take on Tian Le Gang alone, after all, their powerful influence was overwhelming, so they wanted to pull in his own Shu Mountain Sect.

  This is also why Liu Qingfeng saw the development potential of Shushan Sect and made such a move. On the other hand, it can be said that the other party recognizes that their sect and Hu Shan Sect are equal forces that can negotiate with each other.

  Moreover, this matter is not bad for the Shu Shan Sect either. When facing a strong enemy, it's always better to have someone by your side, so Ye Wen nodded and replied: "I understand! I hope that at that time, Senior will be able to uphold justice with the Hu Shan Sect and speak out for righteousness!"
