Chapter 5: Thinking of Climbing the Cliff
The wedding was postponed as he wished on the Cliff of Reflection. The next day, he received the Hunyuan Art from Ning Zhongze. Lin Pingzhi immediately made a request to Yue Buqun, saying that he wanted to go to the Cliff of Reflection to cultivate in seclusion.
Yue Buqun knew that Lin Pingzhi wanted to avoid the crowd and practice the Evil Repelling Sword Technique, but he was confident that with his own foundation, even if Lin Pingzhi also practiced the Evil Repelling Sword Technique, he would not be able to escape from his grasp, so he gladly agreed.
Thus, on the morning of the third day after returning to the Huashan Sect, after bidding farewell to Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, and the group of senior brothers, Lin Pingzhi brought all his living supplies to the Cliff of Reflection.
The Cliff of Reflection was a dangerous cliff at the peak of the Peak of the Jade Maiden. The cliff was bare, without a single blade of grass or tree. Other than a cave, there was nothing else.
Mount Hua was originally a place of lush greenery and serene scenery, but this cliff was an exception. The reason why the Huashan Sect's founder used this cliff as a place to punish his disciples was mainly because there was no grass, no trees, no insects, and no birds here. When the punished disciples faced the wall to reflect on their mistakes, they would not be disturbed by external objects and be distracted.
Now, Lin Pingzhi chose to practice his swordsmanship in seclusion here for the same reason. In addition, he had another plan, which was the sword moves of the Five Mountains Sect hidden in the secret cave of the Cliff of Reflection and the method to break them.
Back when he was still the leader of the Five Mountain Sword Sect on Mount Hua, there was once when the ten elders of the Demonic Sect led a group to Mount Hua to challenge the Five Mountain Sword Sect's experts. The battlefield was on the Peak of the Jade Maiden.
The ten elders of the Demonic Sect were all top-notch experts. The ten of them joined forces and beat the experts of the Five Mountain Sword Sect into a mess. Unfortunately, when they won, they fell into the trap of the Five Mountain Sword Sect and were trapped in the secret cave of the Reflection Cliff.
Before they died, the experts of the Demonic Sect were full of resentment and had no way to vent. They simply left a picture on the stone wall of the secret cave and broke the sword moves of the Five Mountain Sword Sect from beginning to end.
As a disciple of Huashan Mountain and having climbed the Reflection Cliff, if he didn't search for this legendary secret cave and learn the Five Mountains Sword Style carved on the stone wall as well as the method to break it, how could he be considered a qualified transmigrator?
Lin Pingzhi wasn't the original Lin Fan. He wouldn't be so confident in his family's Evil-warding Sword Technique that he thought he would be invincible after learning it. In fact, if one could learn the Five Mountains Sect's sword technique carved on the stone wall of the secret cave thoroughly and practice it to the peak, it might not lose to the Lin family's Evil Repelling Sword Technique.
As he was thinking, he entered the cave and saw a big smooth rock on the ground. Lin Pingzhi thought that this was where the Huashan Sect seniors who had made mistakes sat quietly. Now, his cheap senior brother Linghu Chong, who was in the limelight in Jianghu, had also sat here. He did not expect it to be his turn today.
Sitting down cross-legged, Lin Pingzhi faced the stone wall. He immediately saw the three words "Feng Qing Yang" carved on the left side of the stone wall. It was carved with a sharp weapon. The strokes were vigorous and half an inch deep, and there was a faint sharpness.
He was once the number one master of the Huashan Sword Sect, the inheritor of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, and the number one hidden master in the martial world. Lin Pingzhi had naturally heard of Feng Qingyang's name. It was not just a simple one, but it was deafening!
Why was Linghu Chong able to command the winds and clouds in the pugilistic world and make a name for himself? Wasn't it all because of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords that Feng Qingyang had passed to him?
If I can learn the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords
Thinking of this, Lin Pingzhi's heart suddenly burned with passion. Compared to the Evil Repelling Sword Art, which had many flaws, the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords was the real peerless sword art!
However, it was not easy to learn this sword technique. Lin Pingzhi did not think that he was as lucky as Ling Huchong to be able to get Feng Qingyang's favor.
"So, let's put aside our unrealistic fantasies and focus on practicing the Evil Repelling Swordsmanship!”
If he wanted to improve his martial arts in a short period of time and become a master of the world, the Evil Repelling Sword Art was the best choice. Therefore, after a short period of daydreaming, he calmed down and began to circulate the Evil Repelling Heart Technique.
After being reborn, he had a martial body. Not only did his comprehension increase greatly, but his learning ability was also heaven-defying. Coupled with the Evil Repelling Heart Technique, he could quickly generate internal energy. His internal energy improved by leaps and bounds.
Apart from practicing Internal Strength, he naturally could not let go of his swordsmanship. In order to improve quickly, he temporarily put aside the Huashan Swordsmanship that his original body had learned and focused on practicing the Seventy-two Ways of Evil-Warding Swordsmanship, which also made rapid progress.
Ten days passed in a flash. Lin Pingzhi practiced his sword and meditated every day besides sleeping and resting. Anyway, he had brought a lot of water and dry food, so he didn't need to worry about food and drink for a while.
On this day, Lin Pingzhi was practicing his sword outside the cave when he heard a familiar shout,""Wang Lin!"
Lin Pingzhi subconsciously turned around and saw a girl in a light blue dress standing not far away with a rice basket. He couldn't help but shiver and smile stiffly."Senior Sister, why are you here?"
The newcomer was Yue Lingshan. She giggled and said,"I'm here to bring you food." At this point, she said with a bit of grievance,"Father and Mother insisted that you were training in seclusion and told me not to come up and disturb you, but I haven't seen you for more than ten days.”
"I miss you too."
Lin Pingzhi replied subconsciously, but he regretted it the moment he said it. So, he quickly tried to salvage the situation."However, Master and Mistress are right. I'm at a critical juncture in my martial arts practice. Senior Sister, you know that my enemy is the Sect Leader of the Qingcheng Sect. Yu Canghai's martial arts are very powerful. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't have any hope of revenge in this lifetime.”
"This... Alright then."
"I'll try my best not to come up and disturb you in the future. However, I'm already here today. You won't ask me to bring the food back, right?" Yue Lingshan compromised.”
"How could that be?"
Lin Pingzhi smiled." I'm sick of eating dry rations and dried meat every day. It's rare for you to send food over today. I want to have a good meal."”
The two of them entered the cave while chatting and laughing. Yue Lingshan opened the rice basket and took out a large bowl of rice and two plates of meat and vegetables. She also took out two sets of chopsticks and placed them on the big rock.
"Two sets of chopsticks?"
Lin Pingzhi raised his eyebrows, but Yue Lingshan smiled and said,"I'll eat with you. Look, what's this?”As he spoke, he took out a small wine gourd from under the rice basket.
"Wine?"
Although Lin Pingzhi wasn't as addicted to alcohol as Ling Huchong, he still liked to drink. Moreover, since he came to this world, he had never drunk alcohol. Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but say happily,"Thank you so much. It's been a while since I've had a drink.”
Yue Lingshan pulled out the stopper of the gourd and handed it to Lin Pingzhi. She smiled and said,"This is to reward you for your hard work in cultivation. It's just that it's a little too little. I can only steal this small gourd for you.”
"Enough, enough."
Lin Pingzhi took the gourd and slowly drank the wine in the small gourd before starting to eat. Although the food was not considered rich, it was still much better than him eating dry food.
As for Yue Lingshan, she thought that she was eating with the person she loved. Even if the food was simple, she ate with relish, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
After the meal, Yue Lingshan chatted with Lin Pingzhi for an hour. Seeing that the sky was already dark, she cleared the dishes and went down the mountain.
From then on, Yue Lingshan would bring food up the cliff every ten days to half a month. She would never forget to bring him a small gourd of wine when she came.
Lin Pingzhi took it as a leisure time after practicing martial arts. It wouldn't take up much time anyway. Besides, he was a modern man after all. If he were to leave the crowd and live alone on the Cliff of Reflection for a year or so, he would probably go crazy before he could master martial arts.
Right now, he would meet Yue Lingshan every half a month and go down the mountain every month to get his daily necessities. It was just right…
