With a “click” sound.

The wine gourd in Linghu Chong’s hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the amber wine spilled all over the floor. He widened his eyes and looked at Qin Shuang in front of him in disbelief.

“Brother Qin, you just said that we are destined to be together?” Linghu Chong’s voice trembled a little, and the sword in his hand unconsciously tightened a little. He had never thought that he would have any special connection with this powerful man from another world.

Qin Shuang smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes: “Yes. I feel a special breath from you, that is…”

“Big Brother!”

A clear and pleasant voice suddenly interrupted Qin Shuang’s words. Linghu Chong looked back and saw Yue Lingshan, holding up her skirt, running towards him. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on her pretty face.

“Junior Sister,” Linghu Chong subconsciously showed a doting smile, but then he remembered Qin Shuang’s words just now, and the smile froze on his face again.

Yue Lingshan ran over and looked at the two of them curiously: “Big Brother, Daddy is looking for you. This is…” She tilted her head and looked at Qin Shuang, her pair of almond-shaped eyes sparkling as if filled with starlight.

Qin Shuang’s gaze lingered on Yue Lingshan for a moment.

The girl was about 16 or 17 years old, wearing a light pink dress that made her skin look like snow, and a light yellow ribbon tied around her waist that fluttered gently with her movements. The most eye-catching thing was her pair of lively eyes, so clear that you could see through them at a glance.

“Who is this girl?” Qin Shuang asked knowingly.

Linghu Chong came back to his senses and quickly introduced: “This is my junior sister Yue Lingshan. Junior sister, this is Senior Qin Shuang.”

“Hello, Senior Qin!” Yue Lingshan bowed sweetly, the pearl hairpin in her hair swaying gently with her movements, making crisp sounds.

Linghu Chong looked at the innocent junior sister, and then at the unfathomable Qin Shuang, with mixed feelings in his heart. Qin Shuang’s words just now were like a stone, weighing heavily on his heart.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?” Yue Lingshan asked with concern, reaching out to touch Linghu Chong’s forehead.

Linghu Chong subconsciously took a half step back: “No, it’s okay. Junior Sister, go back and tell Master first, I’ll be there soon.”

Yue Lingshan pouted: “So mysterious.” She smiled sweetly at Qin Shuang, “Senior Qin, please come to Huashan when you have time!” After that, she skipped away.

After Yue Lingshan walked away, Linghu Chong couldn’t wait to ask: “Brother Qin, you just said that there is a connection between us, what is it?”

Qin Shuang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes far away: “Do you know that there is a trace of the blood of the ancient sword immortal flowing in your body?”

“What?” Linghu Chong was struck by lightning. “How is this possible?”

“I feel a familiar sword spirit in you.” Qin Shuang said slowly, “Perhaps, this is the fate between us.”

Linghu Chong stood there in a daze, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. A mountain breeze blew in from afar, picking up a few fallen leaves, which swirled around his feet.

now.

Yue Buqun and Yue Lingshan stood a hundred feet away from Qin Shuang and Linghu Chong, watching them talking with gloomy eyes. His heart was filled with turmoil.

“Another world? Who exactly is this Qin Shuang?” Yue Buqun frowned, thinking secretly in his heart, “If I can get some opportunities from him, perhaps my strength can be further improved.”

He recalled his efforts over the years to revitalize the Huashan Sect, but he was unable to break through the bottleneck. Now, a strong man from another world suddenly appeared, which was both an opportunity and a threat to him.

“This person’s strength is unfathomable, and he must not be offended easily.” Yue Buqun thought to himself, “But if I can make friends with him, maybe I can use him for my own benefit.”

He straightened his clothes, put on a gentle smile, and walked towards Qin Shuang.

In the main hall.

Yue Buqun stepped forward, bowed to Qin Shuang and said, “Master Qin, I have long heard of your great name. I wonder what you want to teach me this time?”

Qin Shuang smiled faintly: “Master Yue, you are too polite. I came here just to take a walk and see the charm of the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer.”

Yue Buqun’s eyes gleamed with a gleam of light: “Mr. Qin is from another world, so he must have a wide range of knowledge. I wonder if he can exchange some ideas with my Huashan Sect?”

Qin Shuang glanced at him and understood: “If Sect Master Yue is interested, then of course it’s fine.”

Yue Buqun was delighted, but his expression remained calm: “That’s great. Mr. Qin, please follow me to the hall to have a chat.”

Ning Zhongze personally poured tea for Qin Shuang, his attitude respectful but not without enthusiasm: “Mr. Qin, please have some tea. This is our Huashan’s unique cloud tea, I wonder if it suits your taste.”

Qin Shuang took the teacup, took a sip, and praised, “Good tea. Miss Ning, you are too polite.”

Ning Zhongze smiled slightly: “Mr. Qin is from another world, I wonder if you can share with us what you have seen and heard in other worlds?”

Qin Shuang nodded: “Other worlds are different from the world of Swordsman. There is abundant spiritual energy there, and cultivators can fly into the sky and hide underground, and even live forever.”

Ning Zhongze listened attentively, his eyes full of shock: “It turns out that there is such a magical place in the world.”

Yue Lingshan sat aside, holding her chin with both hands, staring at Qin Shuang intently: “Brother Qin, are those cultivators you mentioned all like gods?”

Qin Shuang smiled and said, “You can say that. But the road to becoming an immortal is long and difficult, and requires great effort.”

A trace of determination flashed in Yue Lingshan’s eyes: “I am not afraid of hard work! Brother Qin, can you accept me as your apprentice?”

Linghu Chong joked, “Junior sister, you are trying to steal my limelight.”

Yue Lingshan stuck out her tongue and said, “Big Brother, you are already so powerful, just let me go.”

Everyone couldn’t help laughing when they heard this.

On the top of Mount Huashan, Qin Shuang stood with his hands behind his back, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. He looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the distance, with a faint smile on his face.

“Master Yue, since you are so interested in immortal arts, why don’t I show you my skills?”

Yue Buqun immediately cupped his hands and said, “I couldn’t ask for more! I couldn’t ask for more!”

Qin Shuang gently raised his right hand, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his fingertips. The golden light turned into a lifelike golden dragon in the air, circling around the main peak of Huashan. The dragon’s roar resounded through the sky, shaking the entire Huashan Mountain slightly.

“This, this.” Yue Buqun widened his eyes, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground with a “click”.

Qin Shuang’s body shook, and he was suspended in mid-air. He walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step as if he were walking on flat ground. Yue Buqun was terrified, fearing that this immortal would accidentally fall down.

“Master Yue, watch out.”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Shuang suddenly leaped up, and the whole person shot straight into the sky like an arrow. He flipped continuously in the air, sometimes turning into a stream of light, and sometimes falling gently like a feather. Finally, he landed steadily three inches in front of Yue Buqun, and even the corners of his clothes were not messy at all.

“Immortal magic!” Yue Buqun was so excited that he was shaking all over and almost kneeled down.

Watching Qin Shuang’s display of magic, Yue Buqun’s heart was filled with turmoil. In his mind flashed the image of Zuo Lengchan’s arrogant face and those people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect who looked down on him.

“If I could learn this magic,” Yue Buqun’s eyes flashed with enthusiasm, “Zuo Lengchan, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, all of them must kneel at my feet!” He seemed to have seen himself flying with a sword, breaking all the magic with one sword. What’s the point of unifying the Five Mountains? With this magic, dominating the martial arts world is not a dream!
Qin Shuang looked at Yue Buqun with a half-smile: “Master Yue, it is not difficult to learn immortal arts, but there is a condition.”

“What conditions?”

Yue Buqun asked impatiently, “As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

“It’s very simple.”

Qin Shuang stretched out a finger, “Sacrifice your soul and blood, kneel down and pledge your loyalty, and help me unify this world. I will teach you the immortal arts, and all I want is the luck of this world!”

Yue Buqun was shocked. Giving up his soul and blood meant that his life and death would be in the hands of others from now on.
Beads of sweat oozed from Yue Buqun’s forehead. He thought of how he had worked hard for many years just to make a name for himself one day. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, was he going to give it up just for a little dignity?
“Dignity?” He sneered in his heart, “When I learn the magic, who dares to say that I have no dignity?”

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Yue Buqun’s eyes.

“I promise!”

Yue Buqun knelt on the ground with a plop. “Yue Buqun is willing to sacrifice his soul and blood and swear to be loyal to Master Qin until death!”

Qin Shuang nodded with satisfaction and tapped Yue Buqun’s forehead with his finger. A drop of crimson soul blood slowly floated out and was collected in Qin Shuang’s palm.

“Very good.” Qin Shuang put away the soul blood, “From now on, you are mine.”

Yue Buqun kowtowed three times: “Disciple greets Master!”

Qin Shuang waved his hand casually, and a golden light sank into Yue Buqun’s brow. Yue Buqun felt that there were suddenly many mysterious spells in his mind, which was exactly the method of cultivating immortals that he had always dreamed of!
“Is this the magic of immortality?” Yue Buqun was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

Qin Shuang said calmly: “This is just the most basic method of drawing Qi into the body. As long as you perform well, more advanced techniques will naturally be available to you.”

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Yue Buqun kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead turned red.

Qin Shuang stood with his hands behind his back: “Now, tell me your plan. How can you help me unify this world?”

Yue Buqun’s eyes sparkled: “Master, don’t worry! I have been working in the martial arts world for many years, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect has already made arrangements. As long as Master gives a little help, unifying the martial arts world is just around the corner!”

“Oh?” Qin Shuang became interested. “Tell me in detail.”

“First, we can start with the Five Mountains Sword Sect Competition.” Yue Buqun lowered his voice, “The leaders of each sect will be present at that time, and it will be a good time for us to catch them all in one fell swoop.”

“That old bastard Zuo Lengchan has always wanted to merge the five sects.” Yue Buqun sneered, “Let’s use his own tactics against him.”

Qin Shuang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: “Not bad, not bad. But…”

“Master, what do you think?” Yue Buqun asked hurriedly.

“It’s not enough to just suppress them with force.” Qin Shuang said meaningfully, “If you want people to submit willingly, you need some other means.”

Yue Buqun suddenly realized: “Master, you mean… elixir? Cultivation technique?”

“Smart.” Qin Shuang gave him an approving look, “I will give you some basic pills and exercises. You can use these to win people’s hearts.”

Yue Buqun was so excited that he was shaking all over: “Master is wise! This way, we can accomplish this without wasting a single soldier.”

The two conspired on the top of Huashan Mountain until late at night. The more Yue Buqun listened, the more frightened he became, and the more excited he became. Qin Shuang’s plan was closely linked, not only taking into account the various martial arts sects, but even the imperial court.

“Then it’s up to you.”

After Qin Shuang finished teaching the magic, he floated away.

“Master, Yue Buqun will definitely live up to your expectations!”

Looking at Qin Shuang’s back as he flew away on his sword, Yue Buqun paced back and forth on the edge of the cliff in excitement.

“Zuo Lengchan, ah Zuo Lengchan,” he muttered to himself, “Wait until the Five Mountains Competition, and see how arrogant you can still be!”

Thinking about the magic skills he was about to learn and the glory after unifying the martial arts world, Yue Buqun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The laughter echoed at the top of Mount Huashan, startling a flock of flying birds.

In the dead of night, in a hidden cave on the back of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun sat cross-legged with his hands in a seal. In front of him was an ancient book with a golden glow, which was the “Taixu Yinqi Jue” given to him by Qin Shuang.

“Draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the sea of ​​energy in Dantian.” Yue Buqun recited the formula silently, and a faint green light gradually appeared around his body.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if something was awakened. Yue Buqun was overjoyed: “Is this the spiritual root? I really have the qualifications to cultivate immortality!”

He followed the instructions of the technique and guided the faint spiritual energy to flow through his meridians. Although the process was extremely painful, Yue Buqun gritted his teeth and persisted, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Early that morning, Ning Zhongze came to Yue Buqun’s study with her morning tea, but found that her husband was not there. She searched all over Huashan Mountain and finally found Yue Buqun meditating in the back mountain.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Ning Zhongze looked at the green light surrounding her husband in surprise.

Yue Buqun slowly finished his training and opened his eyes. His pupils were deeper than usual, with a faint gleam of light.

“Junior sister is here.” Yue Buqun smiled slightly, “I am practicing immortal arts.”

“Magic?” Ning Zhongze almost dropped the tea tray in his hand, “Where did you learn it from?”

Yue Buqun stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said, “This was taught by Immortal Qin. Junior sister, do you know that with this magic, our Huashan Sect will be able to unify the Five Mountains in no time!”

Ning Zhongze’s face changed drastically: “Brother, are you crazy? The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same blood. How can you…”

“We are of the same blood?” Yue Buqun sneered, “How could that old bastard Zuo Lengchan ever take our Huashan Sect seriously?”

He grabbed Ning Zhongze’s hand and said, “Junior sister, when I unify the Five Mountains, the next step will be the entire martial arts world, and even this beautiful country!”

Ning Zhongze took two steps back in fear: “Brother, you are going to rebel! How can the court just sit there and watch?”

“The imperial court?” Yue Buqun laughed. “In front of the immortal arts, what are those mortals?”

“But.”

“No buts!” Yue Buqun suddenly said in a stern voice, “This is the instruction of Master Qin! Do you want to disobey the order of the immortal?”

Ning Zhongze was shocked when she heard the words “Master Qin”. She remembered the flying and hiding skills Qin Shuang had demonstrated that day, which was indeed a realm that no mortal could reach.

“Does Immortal Master Qin Qin really want you to do this?” Ning Zhongze’s voice trembled.

Yue Buqun nodded heavily: “That’s right. Immortal Master Qin said that if I help him unify this world, he will teach me more advanced immortal arts.” (End of this chapter)
