"No matter what you do, if you want to succeed, you must put in a lot of perseverance."
"How can one rise above others without a bit of ruthlessness?"
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
A skilled person is not scary; a person with a ruthless nature is not scary.
What I fear most are those ruthless people who don't even spare themselves!
If someone were to practice the Sunflower Manual over a thousand times, I would call him the strongest.
After exchanging a few lighthearted banter with the other martial arts practitioners, Li Chengqian continued recounting his experiences with the Sunflower Manual.
"Back then, the Sunflower Ancestor also discovered these 27 problems, and after decades of arduous cultivation, he still could not find a solution."
"In the end, the Sunflower Patriarch decided to rely on the power of the martial arts world."
"After all, the world is vast, and there may be one or two lucky people who can come up with a solution to the Sunflower Manual."
"So the Sunflower Patriarch gave the Sunflower Manual to a young eunuch who had left the palace, so that it could be circulated among the people."
"After the incomplete copy of the Sunflower Manual left the martial arts world, it changed hands several times before finally ending up in the Putian Shaolin Temple."
"It was the work of Zen Master Hongye. Zen Master Hongye felt that this technique was too insidious, so he decided to seal it away permanently in Shaolin Temple."
"However, coincidentally, at this time, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng from the Huashan Sect came to visit."
"After accidentally learning about the Sunflower Manual, the two secretly peeked at the manual, but in their haste, neither of them could remember it all."
"So we had to memorize them separately."
"But when the two returned to Mount Hua, they discovered that the other part of the Sunflower Manual they had produced did not match up."
"Thus, the two brothers became enemies."
"From then on, the long-standing conflict between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect began at Mount Hua."
After hearing this, everyone looked surprised.
The Huashan Sword Sect had been in decline for many years, and it was only recently, with the emergence of Feng Qingyang, that the Huashan Sword Sect gradually came into the view of the martial arts world.
At the same time, the conflict between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect of the Huashan Sword Sect has become a laughing stock in the entire martial arts world.
After all, a once-glorious sect declined because of a question about whether "techniques or internal strength are more powerful."
This behavior is incredibly stupid.
But no one expected that the Huashan Sword Sect had become like this because of the Sunflower Manual.
Previously, no one had even considered these two things.
After all, the Sunflower Manual was practiced by Dongfang Bubai, who was also the leader of the Sun Moon Cult.
The Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect are mortal enemies.
"I never imagined that the Sunflower Manual had any connection with the Huashan Sword Sect. Since the Sunflower Manual is in the Huashan Sword Sect..."
"Where did the Sun Moon Sect's Sunflower Manual come from?"
"Could it have originated from the Shaolin Temple?"
"You ask me? How would I know? Shut your mouth and listen to what Mr. Li has to say."
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Chengqian smiled and put down his teacup.
He said slowly, "Upon learning that the Sunflower Manual had been leaked, Zen Master Hongye immediately destroyed it."
"Later, the Sun Moon Sect launched a major attack on the Huashan Sword Sect, and the ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect died in battle at Huashan."
"This resulted in both sides suffering significant losses."
"This attack may seem like a feud between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect, but in reality, it is the Sun Moon Sect's attempt to seize the incomplete Sunflower Manual from the Huashan Sword Sect."
"It's a pity that the Sun Moon Sect chose the wrong time. At that time, the Huashan Sword Sect was at its peak."
"The Qi Sect and the Sword Sect have produced many masters, and their reputation and strength are comparable to those of Shaolin Temple and Wudang."
"After all, the conflict between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect has just begun. The Huashan Sword Sect is still able to maintain its restraint. Although the two sides are fighting openly and covertly, there are no casualties in the end."
"If it weren't for that battle back then, there would probably be another Mount Hua as a sacred place in the martial arts world today."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
Although the decline of the Huashan Sword Sect is reasonable, for some reason, this matter just feels a bit strange.
"Mr. Li, was it at this time that the Sunflower Manual was obtained by the Sun Moon Sect?"
“No!” Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile. “Although the casualties in that battle were heavy.”
"However, the Sun Moon Sect did not obtain the incomplete copy of the Sunflower Manual."
"The incomplete copy of the Sunflower Manual was circulated after the great battle."
"After the great battle, Zen Master Hongye was about to pass away, so he sent his disciple Duyuan to Mount Hua to ask for the incomplete copy of the Sunflower Manual."
"In his words, he didn't have much time left and didn't want this kind of martial art to be passed down in the world."
"However, the Huashan Sword Sect has suffered heavy losses, and Yue Su and Cai Zifeng have also died in battle."
"Although the Huashan Sect wanted to preserve the Sunflower Manual, they could not be sure of its authenticity."
"After all, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng had been arguing about this matter for many years, so the Huashan Sword Sect decided to consult Du Yuan."
"After all, Du Yuan is a disciple of Zen Master Hongye, so he should be able to distinguish between the genuine and fake Sunflower Manual."
Who would have thought?
Halfway through his sentence, Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head.
"Who would have thought that Du Yuan was completely unaware of the Sunflower Manual, after the Huashan Sword Sect took out the Sunflower Manual."
"Du Yuan had a ulterior motive. He made up his own interpretations while memorizing the Sunflower Manual."
"After Du Yuan copied the entire Sunflower Manual onto his own cassock, he directly said that the Sunflower Manual in the hands of the Huashan Sword Sect was fake."
"The Huashan Sword Sect had no doubts whatsoever when they saw 060's condition, and they immediately burned the Sunflower Manual in their hands."
"After all, only Yue Su, Cai Zifeng, and Zen Master Hongye have seen the Sunflower Manual in this world."
"Yue Su and Cai Zifeng both said that the Sunflower Manual was fake. Now, with the testimony of Master Hongye's disciple, who would doubt it?"
"After Du Yuan obtained the Sunflower Manual, he did not return to Shaolin."
"Instead, he hid away and only reappeared in the martial arts world after Zen Master Hongye passed away, changing his name and identity."
"At this time, Du Yuan changed his name to Lin Yuantu, which was also his name before he became a monk."
"Lin Yuantu's Seventy-Two Styles of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique terrified people in the martial arts world, and he also founded the Fuwei Escort Agency with the help of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique."
"But during his time wandering the martial world, Lin Yuantu's Sunflower Manual was eventually taken away by the Sun Moon Sect."
"Ren Woxing was unwilling to cultivate this technique, so he rewarded it to Dongfang Bubai."
"This move has two purposes: one is to encourage Dongfang Bubai so that she can properly lead the Sun Moon Sect."
"At that time, the backlash from Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique was already very severe."
"Secondly, it was to prevent Dongfang Bubai from becoming too ambitious, since women who cultivate the Sunflower Manual will inevitably die anyway."
"I didn't have to worry about her rebelling at all. It's just a coincidence that things turned out this way."
"That concludes the complete account of the Sunflower Manual."
Chapter 330 A Shocking Plan, the Timid Lin Yuantu
Li Chengqian recounted his entire experience with the Sunflower Manual in one breath.
Such a wonderful story left everyone in awe.
As expected of the martial arts world, everyone here is cunning and shrewd.
Such a complex matter is probably only something that Mr. Li can explain clearly.
After a moment of reflection, two more questions arose in my mind.
“Mr. Li, both Yue Su and Cai Zifeng say that the Sunflower Manual in the other’s possession is fake.”
"But Fairy Dongfang succeeded in cultivating it. If that's the case, then it means that the Sunflower Manual is real."
"Why is there such a situation?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Chengqian waved his folding fan and laughed, "Actually, neither of them faked anything."
"The reason why they believe that the Sunflower Manual of the other party in the novel group 811 is fake is entirely because they never thought that the Sunflower Manual would be so ingenious."
"The Sunflower Manual is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on internal energy cultivation, and the second part focuses on swordsmanship."
"The most essential part is in the upper part."
"The upper part of the Sunflower Manual is divided into four layers, with the first layer following the path of extreme Yin."
"The second level follows the extremely yang route, but the third and fourth levels were never passed down by the Sunflower Ancestor."
"Yue Su and Cai Zifeng both knew that the first part of the Sunflower Manual was the essence, so they each memorized half of it."
"After returning to Mount Hua, both sides presented the martial arts techniques they had memorized."
"If one moves to the extreme of Yin and the other to the extreme of Yang, then naturally they won't match up!"
"If the kung fu doesn't match, of course you'll assume the other person is faking it. After all, normal kung fu techniques don't alternate between extreme yin and extreme yang."
""
Everyone in the inn looked bewildered. Who would have thought that the Huashan Sword Sect would have internal strife over such a ridiculous reason?
However, upon further reflection, everyone expressed their understanding.
If you and another person were to steal the secret manual, because of the urgency, each of you would memorize half of it.
When he came back, he discovered that he had written in a feminine style, while the other had written in a forceful style.
He considers himself to have a good temper if he doesn't use a knife, since the clash of yin and yang can lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.
At this moment, Huang Rong, who had been listening to the story in the corner, suddenly remembered something.
He quickly raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Li, Lin Yuantu also practiced the Sunflower Manual."
"But why do I feel that his martial arts skills are not as good as Sister Dongfang's?"
