Not long after, Yun Miao picked up the phone, but obviously, even she was a little confused as to why Yang Cheng suddenly took the initiative to call her.
"What's the matter?" Yun Miao asked faintly.
Yang Cheng laughed awkwardly, "I want to ask about something, but I think the only one who knows better is you, so I'm sorry to bother you."
"Hmph, it's rare for you to ask me for help. Just say it, don't beat around the bush," Yun Miao chuckled.
"It's like this, I plan to start teaching people to cultivate … Uh … It's the goal of reaching the Xiantian Realm, starting from the basic inner force, but I only know the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, which obviously can't be learned by everyone. So, I want to ask if there are other inner force methods, I'll get some for reference, "Yang Cheng chuckled.
Yun Miao hesitated for a while, "Don't tell me the people you want to teach are your women?"
"Abbess, how do you know this?" Yang Cheng was stunned.
"Hmph," Yun Miao said disdainfully, "With your virtue, other than for the women around you, why would you be so kind as to think of ways to guide others to cultivate? That's a thankless task."
"Hehe … Abbess really knows me, but … Where can I get inner force? By the way, didn't you say that you came from Shu Mountain? Where is the Shu Mountain Sect, is there a place to store inner force books? "Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Yun Miao sighed softly, "Yes, of course there is. Other than the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, which is passed down orally from generation to generation, other martial arts are mostly recorded in books. However … Because of the sparse population in our Shu Mountain Sect in the past hundred years, the sect has long been moved from Mount Emei. When I practiced martial arts with Senior Brother, it wasn't in the real Shu Mountain Sect. In the past ten years, I brought Hui'er to cultivate in Emei, and we just used a Taoist temple. "
Yang Cheng was stunned, so this Shu Mountain Sect was just an empty shell! Only Song Tianxing and Yun Miao were left!?
"Abbess, aren't you kidding me? How can this be called a sect!? "
Yun Miao snorted, "Why, so what if there are fewer people? Hua Xia's Ancient Martial Arts had declined. Only Kunlun Sect, Shaolin Temple, Mao Mountain, and other sects with a large number of people were left. Although the other sects had ancient scriptures passed down from ancient times, there were too few people who had the ability to comprehend and could endure hardship. Many of them had withered away. Even if only Senior Brother and I were left of our Shushan lineage, our Shushan's secret arts are not inferior to any other sect. What's there to be ashamed of? "
Yang Cheng was at a loss. "Then … where are those ancient books stored?"
"What's the hurry? I was just about to say it." Abbess Yun Miao said slowly, "Actually, you shouldn't be looking for me. You should be looking for the Cai family's Ning girl, Flower Rain."
"Ning 'er?"
"Not bad." Yun Miao said, "In our Sichuan lineage, most of the sect's scriptures are directly stored in the Tang Sect of Sichuan, which is also known as the Tang Fortress. It can be said that the Tang Fortress is the gathering place for all the sects in Sichuan. There are no distinctions between the sects in Sichuan. As long as one passes the screening and is accepted into the sect, he or she will be taught different techniques according to his or her aptitude.
Back then, Cai Ning entered the Tang Sect at the age of eleven because her aptitude was indeed suitable for the Tang Sect's techniques and hidden weapons. Otherwise, I would have accepted her into Shushan as well. That girl's aptitude is extremely high. Even if she were to cultivate the Nebula Sword Technique that I'm proficient in and the Shushan Sword Cultivator's internal force, she would still be able to shine … "
Through Abbess Yun Miao's explanation, Yang Cheng finally had a general understanding of the Ancient Martial Arts of Hua Xia.
Because of the changes in the past few hundred years, there were fewer and fewer people who could calm down and not be tempted by the outside world. Moreover, there were very few who could cultivate to a high level, so it was inevitable that the Ancient Martial Arts would decline.
Although the various sects had their own inheritances, they couldn't form their own sects like in the past. In addition to the current Hua Xia, the Ancient Martial Arts Sects mostly provided the core fighting power of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. Therefore, they were directly linked to the expert training that the country needed.
The government of Hua Xia secretly provided all sorts of support in terms of resources and policies. They also helped select talented children with good backgrounds to enter the various sects to cultivate.
For example, Cai Ning and Yang Lie were among the outstanding ones.
The advantage of this was that there were no conflicts between the various sects. Everyone provided talents for the country, and the country allowed the various sects to continue passing on their skills. It was the best of both worlds.
However, in order to not affect the stability of society, the Ancient Martial Arts Sects gradually disappeared from the masses. This became a reality.
After listening, Yang Cheng asked, "Does this mean that I have to make a trip to the Tang Fortress in Sichuan?"
Yun Miao said, "Of course, it depends on what kind of books you want to read. Most of the books in the Tang Sect are martial arts books from the various sects around Emei that specialize in attacking. There are also special skills from the Five Poison Sect and other sects, as well as the strange internal energy of the Tang Sect that is used with hidden weapons. Kunlun, on the other hand, mainly uses Taoism to nurture Qi. They have books from Qingcheng, Wudang, and other sects. Then there's Shaolin Temple, which has Buddhist techniques. Mao Mountain has cultivation methods supplemented with pills, as well as the art of Qimen Dun Jia … In short, there are many books passed down since ancient times. The key is what you want your woman to learn. "
Yang Cheng laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I have a photographic memory anyway. At most, I'll look through all of them and choose a fast and powerful one for my woman!"
"You … What's wrong with that pig brain of yours?!" Yun Miao suddenly said angrily.
Yang Cheng frowned. "Abbess, I respect you, but you can't just call me a pig. Just because I didn't listen to you and didn't want to be your grandson-in-law, you can't be so vengeful!"
Yun Miao almost choked on her anger. She took a few deep breaths and said, "I really don't get it. You rascal, how could you cultivate to such a high level? Do you think internal energy is child's play?! Do you think that internal energy cultivation is something that anyone can do?! Different martial arts have different attributes and characteristics. Some people's physiques are destined to be unsuitable for it. If you force them to cultivate, it will only lead to Qi deviation!
Do you think that my senior imparted the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture to you out of boredom? That's because your physique and aptitude are suitable for that godly martial art!
Moreover, do you think that those books are something that anyone can read? Do you know that the amazing martial arts of many sects are treasured books that are coveted by many foreign forces?! Since ancient times, I, Hua Xia, have established my foothold on the world's best martial arts left by my predecessors. How can I let you read them whenever you want? They have to go through layers of checks and tests before deciding whether or not you can enter the Sutra Pavilion to read the martial arts of the sects. "
"Oh," Yang Cheng mumbled, "I understand now. Abbess, you mean that I have to beat them all up before I can enter …"
"You … You … You pig brain! What the hell are you thinking?! "Yun Miao was about to explode as she screamed over the phone.
Yang Cheng looked at Shanshan innocently and said, "What do I mean …"
"If you force your way in, even if your cultivation surpasses all of them, how is that any different from a bandit? Hongmeng does not care about the secular world, so those martial arts masters are the mainstays of Hua Xia's world of martial arts. If you hurt them, it's no different from helping the enemy destroy Hua Xia! Therefore, to be on the safe side, I'm asking you to look for Cai Ning.
That girl is the cream of the crop in the Tang Sect. Her master, Tang Luyi, dotes on her very much. Tang Luyi is the younger sister of the Tang Sect's leader, and her cultivation is not any lower than mine. When I met her many years ago, she was already at the doorstep of the Xiantian Realm. After so many years, she must be a Xiantian Realm master. If you can convince her to help you, everything will be much easier. "
"Xiantian Realm?" Yang Cheng asked curiously. "Abbess, I remember hearing from the Dragon Division that there hasn't been a Xiantian Realm master for many years before I appeared, right?"
"What do you know? Do you think those Xiantian Realm masters wander around every day? Furthermore, most of the Dragon Division are from the military, so they don't know much about the martial arts world. In fact, every sect has a few Xiantian Realm masters, but they don't want to reveal it, so they cultivate in secret, hoping to cross the threshold … Senior Ling Xu Zi from Hongmeng only knew that he had entered the Xiantian Realm not long before he disappeared. He has been hiding it for many years. "
Yang Cheng was just asking casually. To him, the number of Xiantian Realm masters did not matter. Of course, he would not say this out loud, unless he met someone from Hongmeng. Otherwise, there was no need for him to risk attracting the Heavenly Tribulations and unleash too much of his cultivation. It was better to be safe than sorry. Since Hongmeng's appearance had caught him off guard, who could be sure that there were no stronger experts above Hongmeng? Preserving one's strength was always beneficial.
After clarifying the situation, Yang Cheng thanked Abbess Miao and hung up the phone.
Since Abbess Miao said that bringing Cai Ning to the Tang Sect would be of great help, Yang Cheng was more than happy to do so. Not only would it save him trouble, it would also be good to spend more time with Cai Ning to deepen their relationship.
Furthermore … Yang Cheng's heart was itching. He had yet to settle the matter with the sisters.
Just as he was about to give Cai Ning a call, he received a text. It was from his sister, Choi Yeon. "Wei Tinghao insisted on bringing me to the Western District's Tequila Clubhouse for a drink. I can't reject him since we have so many friends. We'll be there in 20 minutes, and I might get drunk …"
Yang Cheng's scalp went numb. He gritted his teeth. Dammit, he was already feeling stifled because of Lin Ruoxi, and now that pretty boy was trying to poach him?!
