Chapter 139: A Deal with Zhang Sanfeng

"Young friend, you claim you have a method to heal my third disciple? Could you please share it with me?" Zhang Sanfeng was quite affable. Even though he was the founder of the Wudang Sect, and his cultivation was undeniably unrivaled in the contemporary martial arts world, he remained incredibly courteous to Ye Xiu, Lu Xiaofeng, and the others.

Of course, this was partly due to his desire to obtain the method to heal Yu Daying from Ye Xiu, but Zhang Sanfeng's naturally easygoing personality was also a factor.

"Of course, I've come to see you for this very purpose," Ye Xiu replied calmly.

"Then I'd like to thank you in advance," Zhang Sanfeng said, clasping his arms and bowing to Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu hadn't expected Zhang Sanfeng to act this way. No, it was more accurate to say that no one present had expected Zhang Sanfeng to do this.

Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Sanfeng's second disciple, had a drastic change of expression: "Master..."

"Senior, there is no need to do this." Ye Xiu quickly turned sideways, although compared to Zhang Sanfeng's action, Ye Xiu's action of turning sideways was a little late.

"Senior, actually I do have something to ask for."

Hearing what Ye Xiu said, Zhang Sanfeng laughed instead: "It's normal to have something to ask for, but no matter what, for this old Taoist, healing my three disciples is the most important thing, so in my opinion, I am the one who has taken advantage of it."

"Senior is really open-minded. As far as I know, there are two ways to heal Yu Sanxia's injuries. One of them is a martial art called Shen Zhao Jing. This martial art does not have too strong lethality, but it is quite effective in healing. I met a person who practiced this martial art before. He was poisoned and then had his scapula pierced, but because of the Shen Zhao Jing, he was not affected at all. There was even a person who hanged himself for more than half an hour, but was still brought back to life by the Shen Zhao Jing." Ye Xiu explained.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up when he heard about the abilities of the Shenzhaojing. "So, this Shenzhaojing sacrificed its other properties to focus on healing? I wonder if you would be willing to hand this Shenzhaojing over to me? Of course, I will do my best to fulfill any request you make." "

I came here to hand over this Shenzhaojing to you, senior." Ye Xiu pulled out a book from his bosom. It was the Shenzhaojing he had written down earlier.

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Zhang Sanfeng smiled. "Okay, from now on, you will be a benefactor of our Wudang Sect. If you have any requests, we, the entire Wudang Sect, will absolutely do our utmost to help you." Zhang Sanfeng

said as he took the Shenzhaojing from Ye Xiu. However, despite his deep concern for the Shenzhaojing, he simply held the Shenzhaojing secret book in his hands and did not immediately read it.

"Thank you, Senior. I have a second method, and these two methods can complement and enhance each other. If we use both methods together, we can definitely significantly shorten the time it takes for Yu Sanxia to recover," Ye Xiu continued.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up again, a joy he couldn't conceal in the slightest. He wasn't worried at all about whether Ye Xiu would ask for too much due to his attitude.

"Actually, this second method is an ointment from the Western Regions Vajra Sect. It's called Black Jade Intermittent Ointment, and it's very effective for treating bones and meridians."

"Western Regions Vajra Sect?" Zhang Sanfeng thought for a moment, as if he had never heard of this sect before.

"Actually, the Western Regions Vajra Sect was founded by a Shaolin traitor who fled to the Western Regions. The martial arts the traitor secretly learned in Shaolin were all external Shaolin techniques, like the Vajra Finger and the Vajra Palm. However, lacking the internal training techniques, practicing them was particularly dangerous. To better cultivate these external skills, the Western Regions Vajra Sect specifically sought out medicinal formulas, researched, and modified them, ultimately creating the Black Jade Fracture Ointment to aid in the practice of these techniques. Applying this ointment can heal broken bones and damaged meridians." "

So, if Senior can obtain the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, and combine it with the Shenzhaojing, combining internal and external elements, Yu Sanxia's injuries should be healed in a very short time," Ye Xiu said.

"Black Jade Fracture Ointment, Western Regions Vajra Sect, Vajra Finger? This Western Regions Vajra Sect—" Zhang Sanfeng frowned. He sensed something amiss in Ye Xiu's words.

"The Western Regions Vajra Sect is probably the culprit that caused Yu Sanxia to be in his current state. After all, the Western Regions Vajra Sect had long since surrendered to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty," Ye Xiu added.

"It seems that it is necessary for this old Taoist to go to the Western Regions Vajra Sect." Zhang Sanfeng nodded slightly.

Of course, without evidence, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't conclude whether Ye Xiu's statement was true or not. But this didn't stop Zhang Sanfeng from going to investigate.

If the information was false, then Zhang Sanfeng would only come to borrow some Black Jade Fracture Ointment. However, if Yu Daying's injury, as Ye Xiu said, was caused by the Western Regions Vajra Sect, then Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't mind making the Western Regions Vajra Sect disappear from this world.

"So, my friend, what do you mean by 'something to ask for'?" Zhang Sanfeng's attitude became very kind when facing Ye Xiu.

"I am a disciple of Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect. Our Huashan Sect is currently in a precarious situation, so if possible, I would appreciate the assistance of the Wudang Sect. Furthermore, I have a request for Rama's remains. If you can obtain Rama's remains, I wonder if you could uncover the secrets within and grant me a portion of the Rama Internal Skill?" Ye Xiu pleaded sincerely.

"I see. Okay, young master, I agree to your request. From now on, the Huashan Sect will be an ally of the Wudang Sect. As for the Rama Internal Skill, if I can obtain it, I will grant you a portion," Zhang Sanfeng said generously.

In reality, if Zhang Sanfeng had the Rama Internal Skill, the two methods Ye Xiu had given would have been completely unimportant, or even useless.

After all, the Rama Internal Skill was even more miraculous than the Divine Illumination Sutra in healing injuries, capable of regenerating severed limbs.

With the Rama Internal Skill, the Divine Illumination Sutra and the Black Jade Ointment would have been less important.

However, Zhang Sanfeng still agreed to give Ye Xiu a copy of the Rama Inner Power after obtaining it, and also decided to let Wudang Sect and Huashan Sect form an alliance.

Wudang Sect is not comparable to the so-called Five Mountains Sword

Sect. The so-called Five Mountains Sword Sect is just a combination of some second- and third-rate sects, which barely have a bit of the formation of a first-rate sect, but compared with the real first-rate sects, they are still much weaker, not to mention the top sects like Wudang Sect. If

Huashan Sect and Wudang Sect form an alliance, then Huashan Sect can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step.

After hearing Zhang Sanfeng's promise, Ye Xiu was also very happy.

After all, although Ye Xiu knew that he would definitely stand at the top of the world in the future, that was only in the future.

The current situation of Huashan Sect is not so good. Although Yue Buqun has become a master because of the Sword Manual of Exorcism. However, given the Huashan Sect's size, it wouldn't necessarily gain any advantage against the Songshan Sect, not to mention the fact that, besides the Songshan Sect, there are also forces like the Shaolin Temple, who might also be eyeing the Huashan Sect covetously.

With the Wudang Sect as their ally, the Huashan Sect is truly safe.

In fact, the Huashan Sect's situation isn't as simple as just the Songshan Sect's.

The Huashan Sect was initially targeted. Its leader was ambushed by the Iron-Galled Divine Marquis, who drained away his power. Later, Shaolin inexplicably allowed the Huashan Sect to obtain fragments of the Sunflower Manual. This led to the Sun-Moon Divine Sect's targeting, killing many of its members and stealing the fragments. Later, internal strife over the sword energy dispute nearly wiped out the Huashan Sect.

This was a deeply hidden conspiracy:

the Shaolin Temple.

The Huashan Sect was so powerful back then that it even showed signs of threatening Shaolin.

Back then, the Huashan Sect was almost comparable to the current Sun-Moon Divine Sect and Yihua Palace.

After all, before Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue reached Grandmaster status, their cultivation levels were limited to the ninth level of Grandmaster Realm, with Dongfang Bubai even slightly less powerful.

As for the Huashan Sect, its leader was already a formidable cultivator, having reached the sixth or seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm. The Huashan Sect also boasted an even more formidable master, Feng Qingyang, known as the Sword Saint.

Feng Qingyang's mastery of the Dugu Nine Swords was nearly unrivaled among Grandmasters.

After reaching the ninth level, Feng Qingyang remained undeterred. If nothing went wrong, he could easily break through to the ninth level and become a Grandmaster.

Consider the fact that some of the most prominent sects are primarily Grandmasters.

If Feng Qingyang achieved this breakthrough, the Huashan Sect would leapfrog into a major sect, almost rivaling the Shaolin Temple.

The Shaolin Temple's status might even be impacted. Just like the Wudang Sect, founded by Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation continued to soar. By the time Shaolin Temple realized what was happening, Zhang Sanfeng had already become a Grandmaster. Shaolin Temple, in turn, had to start to be wary of the Wudang Sect. They even came up with the slogan "Shaolin in the North, Wudang in the South." For a time, the status of Shaolin Temple was affected.

Feng Qingyang, with his unique skill, the Dugu Nine Swords, even showed signs of being on par with Zhang Sanfeng. Of course, this was just an appearance. However, it still made Shaolin Temple aware of the crisis.

Coincidentally, the leader of the Huashan Sect encountered an accident at Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain. As a result, Shaolin Temple began to secretly plot against the Huashan Sect, letting Yue Su and Cai Zifeng of the Huashan Sect know that Shaolin had obtained a very powerful martial art called the Sunflower Manual.

These two people happened to want to compete for the position of leader. In order to obtain the position of leader, they began to go to Shaolin Temple and try to steal the Sunflower Manual. Then, people from Shaolin Temple secretly leaked the news that the Huashan Sect possessed the Sunflower Manual to the Sun Moon Divine Sect, and the Huashan Sect was once again robbed.

As if that weren't the end of it, the Shaolin Temple ruthlessly instigated further conflict, forcing the Huashan Sect to split into two sects, the Sword and Qi Sects, and a fierce battle ensued.

In the end, nearly all of the Huashan Sect's disciples were wiped out, and Feng Qingyang, deeply troubled by this, remained stuck at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm for his entire life, unable to break through to the Grandmaster realm. He even went into seclusion, rarely appearing in public.

Therefore, with the Huashan Sect and the Wudang Sect now allied, the Shaolin Temple's schemes would be significantly reduced for the Huashan Sect, giving it more time to develop.

Ye Xiu left with a smile on his face.

After all, the Huashan Sect was Ye Xiu's home, and with his home now more secure, there was no reason for Ye Xiu not to be happy.

In fact, Ye Xiu had previously considered whether the Huashan Sect should form an alliance with the Sun Moon Sect and the Yihua Palace.

After all, Ye Xiu's relationships with Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue had reached this point. If Ye Xiu had approached Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue about an alliance, they probably wouldn't have refused.

However, the Sun-Moon Cult and the Yihua Palace were indeed powerful, but their reputations weren't exactly stellar.

Yihua Palace was relatively safe, as its disciples were all female and they rarely roamed the martial arts world. Therefore, despite its shady reputation, it wasn't considered a demonic sect. However, the Sun-Moon Cult had long been labeled a demonic sect.

If the Huashan Sect allied with these two factions, it would undoubtedly be severing ties with the righteous path.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Ye Xiu didn't want the Huashan Sect to become associated with the Sun-Moon Cult or the Yihua Palace.

Now, with the Wudang Cult's protection, the Huashan Sect was safe, and Ye Xiu had finally lifted a heavy burden.

He had no reason to be unhappy.

Filled with joy, Ye Xiu smiled throughout the rest of the day.

Witnessing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou understood Ye Xiu's feelings.

However, Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai felt that Ye Xiu's behavior was a bit strange. They even couldn't help but wonder if Ye Xiu had found another woman behind their backs. Otherwise, why would he be so happy? However

, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were not in a position to proactively question Ye Xiu about this.

Instead, Huang Rong, with a look of curiosity, asked Ye Xiu the reason.

Ye Xiu smiled and told them that he had met Zhang Sanfeng and had reached an agreement with him, and that the Huashan Sect and Wudang Sect had formed an alliance.

After hearing this news, they suddenly understood.

Compared to the others, Yue Lingshan was even more overjoyed.

After all, Yue Lingshan was a disciple of the Huashan Sect. The alliance between the Huashan Sect and Wudang was absolutely a great thing for the Huashan Sect. If she was not away from Huashan, Yue Lingshan would have been celebrating long ago.

...

"Good news, really good news!"

"Today, through Hua Manlou, I met Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect. Then, I reached an agreement with him in exchange for the Shen Zhao Jing, the Western Region Vajra Sect, and the Black Jade Duanxu Cream. From now on, the Huashan Sect and the Wudang Sect will be allies. Also, Zhang Sanfeng promised me that if he gets the Rama Internal Power, he will give me a share." "

In other words, this time when I came to Nanjing, not only did I find a backer for the Huashan Sect, but the Rama Internal Power is also like a snail with three fingers - pinching and grasping it with your hands. This Rama Internal Power can no longer escape."

"Although I paid a lot, I also gained a lot. To be precise, I should say that I made a fortune this time."

"After all, with Zhang Sanfeng here, who can snatch it from him?"

"The next step is to wait for the arrival of the Kongtong Twin Swords. By then, Zhang Sanfeng should also make a move to snatch Rama's body. After Zhang Sanfeng takes away the lower half of Rama's body, I will quietly go to Yunhe Temple, take out the upper half of Rama's body that Xiyu buried there, and then go find Zhang Sanfeng." "

After all, even if it is a deal that has been agreed upon, if I do nothing and leave it all to Zhang Sanfeng to complete, I still feel that it will be a bit too, uh, too... "

"Each of us will take out a part, this way it will be more fair and stable."

"Okay, it's decided, let's do it. But it's better to set off early to get Rama's body. After all, the plot is out of control now, and we don't know how it will develop later."

"What if Xiyu suddenly wants to take Rama's body? Or even what if the people from Shaolin Temple use some means in secret? So we should go and see if Rama's body is there first. If it is, we can take it out. If it's not there, we can talk about it later. At worst, we can throw dirty water on Shaolin - well, it's not really dirty water. If Rama's body is not there, it's most likely the monks from Shaolin Temple did something wrong."

"Well, it's decided. If there is an accident, the Shaolin Temple will be dragged into it."

"This is the world of martial arts. There are always too many accidents and too many things that are uncontrollable."

"Now, the Huashan Sect has the Wudang Sect as an ally. With such a layer of protection, it can really develop steadily for a period of time. And I also need this time. Under the protection of the Wudang Sect, the Huashan Sect is safe and sound, and my strength is improving every day. It won't be long before my strength can reach the level of Zhang Sanfeng. At that time, it won't be so important whether there is the Wudang Sect to protect me."

"So, all I need is a period of time to develop in a wretched way."

"In addition to the amulet of the Wudang Sect, I have also agreed with Hua Manlou to hand over the treasure of Emperor Liang Yuan to the Hua family's Datong Silver Bank."

"The protection of the Wudang Sect, and then a large amount of silver for internal development. With these two approaches, the rise of the Huashan Sect is really just around the corner!"

"Well, in this way, I can be said to have lived up to my master--"

"When I think of my master, I think of my master practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism--"

"It's obviously a very tragic thing no matter how you look at it. But when I think about it, Master just castrated himself to practice sword skills by accident, I don't know what to say."

"Rama Internal Power, Rama Internal Power, I must protect my Master well and let him become a real man again!"

"Well, in this world of martial arts, there are countless kinds of magical skills. Master should be able to become a real man."

"Then, Master's wife can - cough cough, at this moment, a little evil idea actually emerged in my heart."

"Sin, sin, Amitabha, Amitabha! God, no, it's Buddha who should forgive me. Right!"

"No more, no more, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue talking about what happened today."

"Just like today, I met a woman who called herself Jiang Yuyan!"

"I don't know if this Jiang Yuyan is the same Jiang Yuyan. Anyway, she is really beautiful."

"Suddenly ran over, as if she knew me, and wanted to talk to me, but after chatting with me, she suddenly changed her words and said she recognized the wrong person."

"It feels like her eyes don't look like she recognized the wrong person - no, there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her eyes later, so she must have recognized the wrong person."

"According to the normal plot, Jiang Yuyan shouldn't be in Nanjing. She should be in Jiangnan now, and then she will be rescued by Hua Wuque, and then fall hopelessly in love with Hua Wuque - so, does it mean that Jiang Yuyan mistook me for Hua Wuque?"

"Calculating the time, I don't know if Hua Wuque has been released to wander the world."

"By the way, there is Lianxing. Lianxing started practicing after getting the Shenzhaojing. I don't know how her hands and feet have recovered. I don't even know if she is attracted by Rama's internal energy." "

After all, in terms of healing, Rama's internal energy is not inferior to the Shenzhaojing."

"It's normal if Lianxing wants to get Rama's internal energy for this reason - no, Yaoyue is in Nanjing now. So it should be Yaoyue who is taking action on the Yihua Palace side?"

"Uh, it seems a bit far-fetched."

"Let's talk about Jiang Yuyan. Jiang Yuyan said she recognized the wrong person. Did she mistake me for Hua Wuque? But I think that Hua Wuque and I don't look alike. At least I should be three points more handsome than Hua Wuque."

"But no matter what, no matter whether Jiang Yuyan recognized the wrong person or not. We still have to keep a certain distance from a woman like Jiang Yuyan."

"After all, no matter how beautiful Jiang Yuyan is, she is a rose with thorns. No, it should be said that she is a poisonous rose." "

After all, she is the only one who turned from love to hate and turned evil into Jiang Yuyan. It just so happens that Jiang Yuyan turned evil, and she is particularly powerful--" "

But speaking of it, the Liuren Divine Dice has been taken away by the Yihua Palace. Jiang Yuyan should not have the opportunity to open the Liuren Divine Dice, and naturally she will not be able to obtain the Wedding Dress Magic Skill." "

So, this time, Jiang Yuyan will not be able to become the vicious villain with air bangs."

"Speaking of which, in Gu Long's novels, this kind of female villain - no, Jiang Yuyan was not created by Gu Long. But after all, it's the same work, so it can be said to be from the same lineage."

"Think about it, Jiang Yuyan, Yao Yue, Lin Xian'er, Murong Qiudi, Lian Nishang - no, Lian Nishang is not from Gu Long, it's from Liang Yusheng - speaking of which."

"Forget it, forget it, anyway, they are not women who are easy to mess with. Now I'm already entangled with Yao Yue, and I must avoid, avoid, avoid the others!"
