Guest of Jianghu (China)

  Lin Heng's doubts would not be answered by anyone, and he did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he carefully studied the Nine Yin Manual in his hand. This Nine Yin Manual was written entirely in the calligraphy of the Great Song Dynasty, which Lin Heng found easy to read through. For the first time, he discovered that the Nine Yin Manual was truly vast and profound. The complete Nine Yin Manual not only contained the things Lin Heng knew, but also recorded the characteristics of various martial arts schools and explained their weaknesses and ways to overcome them.

  These are exactly what Lin Heng is pursuing now. He really didn't expect that he would get it so soon after his training, and this was truly a great opportunity.

  "Hah... This time back to Quanzhen Sect, no need to worry about having nothing to do!"

  Smiling, Lin Heng put away the Nine Yin Manual and quickly rushed back to the Quanzhen Sect.

  As a disciple of Zhang Jue, Lin Heng's position in the Quanzhen Sect was special, but he wasn't considered an inner disciple, so other disciples didn't need to worry about him competing for anything. On the contrary, everyone got along with him and tried to win him over. However, Lin Heng had always been indifferent to others, so here too, he didn't have many friends. Of course, this wasn't because he didn't want to make friends, but rather that among all these people in Quanzhen Sect, there really weren't any who were worthy of being his friend.

  On this day, all the disciples of Quanzhen gathered together. In front, Ma Yu, Liu, and five others sat high, while Lin Heng, Yin Zhiping, Zhao Zhijing, and others respectfully accompanied them below. After about a quarter of an hour, everyone had arrived.

  Looking at the disciples sitting down, Ma Yun said: "My Quanzhen Sect was passed down from Chongyang True Man. Although it is respected as the first sect in Jianghu, there are not many disciples under the door. Now, I and several fellow masters have discussed and agreed to allow you to recruit disciples. After a while, you can pack up and leave the mountain. When you get to the foot of the mountain, be sure to be chivalrous and righteous, and if you see good disciples, you can also bring them back to the mountain gate. Do you understand?

  "Yes, disciple obey the order of the master!" Everyone nodded immediately and began to stand up and leave, only Lin Heng didn't move. He had already told Ma Yun that he didn't want to take on disciples or teach them because he felt his own cultivation was not enough. Ma Yun didn't force him, so he didn't let him leave. After everyone left, Ma Yun said to Lin Heng: "Heng Er, your cultivation is already quite strong, but since you don't want to take on disciples, I won't force you. However, you should know that teaching disciples is a process of reviewing and learning anew, so I still hope you can teach the younger generation in our sect."

  "I know, disciple!"

  Lin Heng nodded, indicating he understood.

  The Quanzhen School is not just limited to these indoor disciples, but also has many secular disciples. These secular disciples generally do not have a master, and what they learn is only the basic skills of the Quanzhen School. After studying for a period of time, they will go down the mountain on their own. Ma Yu's words meant that he hoped Lin would go to teach those secular disciples. Lin Heng did not suspect this.

  With a new task, Lin Heng naturally couldn't just stay in his room and wander around the mountains anymore. He also had to teach those secular disciples at fixed times, teaching them internal skills, basic moves, and so on. When teaching them, Lin Heng would sometimes practice with them too. After all, Ma Yu had said that teaching others was a process of reviewing and learning anew. This process couldn't just be observed; one had to take action, or how could the goal of learning anew be achieved?

  In the morning, one time, at noon, one time, every day two times to teach secular disciples, other times Lin Heng is either practicing martial arts or browsing Taoist classics, or going to the mountains and forests to take a walk, picking some medicinal materials, and appreciating the beauty of nature. Such days are dull, but Lin Heng lives quite satisfactorily, because he always has something to do and won't feel bored.

  This day, Lin Heng walked in the mountain forest, unintentionally returned to where he had built his wooden house. Standing here, he suddenly thought, why not go take a look at the ancient tomb? But then again, now that little dragon girl's master was still alive, if he were discovered by him, he would probably be unable to leave. Having this thought, Lin Heng gave up on entering the ancient tomb.

  Looking at the water pool, Lin Heng shook his head and was about to leave, but immediately he patted his own forehead and said: "I'm really stupid, how could I forget about the system?"

  Yes, Lin Heng had not summoned the system again since he started closing up here, and it seemed that he had selectively forgotten about the system. This made him very strange, after all, this kind of situation had never happened before.

  He immediately summoned the system and saw that familiar screen. With a light tap, he entered the adjustment system, where he saw a lot of information, one of which caught his attention. The message read: "Host enters the hall, initially understands the Taoist and martial arts essence." Such a simple sentence made Lin Heng extremely happy. This system had always been poorly evaluated, but this sentence was actually praising him!

  After being excited for a while, Lin Heng took another look at the information in front of him. This information was nothing more than reminders about the mistakes he had made before, including the True Sword Technique. It's just that at the time, he seemed to have forgotten about the system and didn't notice it. If these things were present, perhaps he wouldn't need to wait for Old Daoist's reminder to enlighten himself.

  "Whatever, I've already figured it out myself!" Lin Heng shook his head and continued to read for a while, only to find that they were just some mediocre reviews. He didn't take them to heart. However, now that he thought of the system, he wouldn't let this opportunity go to waste. Immediately, he picked up a nearby branch and began practicing his sword moves in the forest. After one round, he would summon the system and check its evaluation.

  If the evaluation is good, then it's all right. If the evaluation is poor, he will look for problems. Such a purposeful study can naturally make his learning more efficient.

  After fooling around for half a day, Lin Heng also felt hungry. He patted his belly and threw down the branch, walking back. After returning to Chongyang Palace, he hastily ate something and then took his long sword to continue practicing in the back mountain. In the evening, he found Ma Yu and told him that he wanted to retreat for a period of time, hoping to hand over the task of teaching secular disciples to others. Ma Yu nodded after listening, and Lin Heng left. He directly moved to the back mountain, found a cave and settled down.

  Here, he brought a lot of medicinal materials, brought medicine, brought Dan furnace...... While practicing martial arts, refining elixirs and feeding the medicine snake are his tasks now. With the help of the system, he can adjust himself well in places that are not right. In martial arts practice, it is so, and in alchemy and snake breeding, it is also the case.

  About half a year later, Lin Heng returned to Chongyang Palace again and asked for another trip. Ma Yun nodded without thinking. Thus, Lin Heng left Zhongnan Mountain again and traveled to Jianghu.

  In half a year, Lin Heng re-summarized his swordsmanship and made many changes to it. Even the relatively mature Quanzhen Swordsmanship was modified by him in some ways. This made him feel somewhat unaccustomed, but after practicing, he found that the power of these swordsmanships had greatly increased. However, without experiencing actual combat, he felt a bit uncertain in his heart. He came out this time also because of this reason.

  All the way, Lin Heng naturally became a heroic and chivalrous figure, while also facing challenges along the way. Soon, he became familiar with his swordsmanship and arrived in Xiangyang. For some reason, Lin Heng just wanted to come here, he always felt that he had forgotten something, and as soon as he arrived, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about Dugu Qiubai, a great god.

  First, he forgot the system, and then he forgot about Ling Yu's BUG-like defeat. Lin Heng really suspected that his memory was problematic, otherwise how could he forget such an important thing?

  Standing outside the city, Lin Heng sighed and turned around, walking westward.

  Dugu Qiubai's sword tomb is in the midst of a great mountain, Xiangyang west is where the Jing Mountains meet the Wudang Mountains' residual mountains, so the sword tomb is most likely to be there, hence he didn't even enter the city and directly rushed westward.
