Since ancient times, Huashan has been saying that "the most dangerous mountain in the world". After coming out of the martial arts training ground, walking along a tortuous stone path for more than ten miles, a small courtyard appeared in front of you.

The courtyard is built against the mountain, with nature as a refuge, and is integrated into Taoist culture, with hidden beauty, secluded elegance and staggered style.

When you enter the courtyard, you will see two middle-aged men fighting on the chessboard. The blue smoke from the tea next to you has a bit of a fairy-like smell.

The two who played chess were Li Mu's master Zhou Qingyun and his uncle Yu Qingfeng. The two were also considered alternatives to the Huashan Sect. They did not have the edge of the people in the world at all, but instead looked like two Taoist priests who saw through the world.

Just as Li Mu was hesitating whether to go forward, Liu Bufan, who was walking with him, walked over casually, bowed to the man in green on the left, and said, "Master, Junior Brother Li has brought him here."

In addition to lamenting the straightforwardness of the children of the world, Li Mu could only salute: "Disciple Li Bumu, I have seen Master, uncle!"

After a "hmm", the two continued to play chess, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Liu Bufan pulled Li Mu back a few steps and whispered: "Junior Brother Li, let's take a break first!

I don’t know what happened, but Master and Uncle Yu have been obsessed with chess recently. They will not give up until they finish playing, and they don’t even pay much attention to the affairs in the sect.”

Li Mu was slightly stunned. He really didn't know this. Although he was under the same master's sect, he was also close and distant. Compared with Senior Brother Liu, who was raised by one, the other disciples were obviously far behind.

There is nothing to envy, this treatment was exchanged for by Liu Bufan's parents.

The children of the world are inevitably surprised, especially the Huashan Sect, who is the vanguard of fighting the Demon Sect, and the casualty rate of disciples is even higher.

Liu Bufan's parents died in a mission. As an orphan in the family, they are naturally treated with preferential treatment. As long as they are qualified, they will be trained in a key manner.

Generally speaking, these disciples are often the most loyal to the sect.

"Oh! But because of the battle in the sect?"

Unlike Liu Bufan, who is simple-minded, Li Mu thought of having more people in his two lives. There are so many people in the Huashan Sect, and it is normal for a few of them to not want to intervene in the fights.

The two major camps of sword energy have long been established. They will be passively involved no matter whether they want to or not. They cannot avoid it and cannot change it, so they can only find a way to escape.

Liu Bufan replied angrily: "It's all those bastards in the Air Sect, who don't have a trace of heroic spirit. If you lose the fight, you won't admit it. You actually..."

After figuring out the whole story, Li Mu had no intention of sharing the same hatred of the enemy, but only had a helpless look on his face.

The Huashan Sect originated from Quanzhen. Although it has evolved for hundreds of years, the characteristics of Taoist sect's internal strength and slow cultivation have been inherited.

In this context, the disciples of the Sword Sect who pay more attention to swordsmanship naturally crushed the Qi Sect in the early stage. When the disciples of the Qi Sect burst out and turned around, it is often the case after the age of thirty or forty.

That is, he is young and energetic and cannot stand the stimulation. If he is a little more rational, the disciples of the Qi Sect will not accept this "contract fight" that is destined to be abused.

In Li Mu's opinion, it is not necessarily because the disciples of the Qi Sect lost the competition and went to call their parents.

Young people are very proud of their face. Unless they have no choice, under normal circumstances, people will not publicize their own dark history, let alone tell their elders.

Since it is a fighting, accidents are inevitable. Especially when both sides are not good at learning skills, the probability of accidents is even greater.

If you are not careful, the wounded will appear and you can't hide it. In order to reduce your responsibility, you will inevitably add fuel to the fire and push the blame to the other party.

It just so happened that the top leaders of the Sword Qi sect fought hard, so they took the excuse and did not investigate the truth of the incident in depth.

There are already many conflicts, and if it continues like this, it will sooner or later cause a disaster.

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world. Li Mu can see the problem. The middle and senior officials who have been in the world for decades will naturally discover it.

Maybe it was because I was too confident, or maybe it was because I was blinded by the interests, and everyone chose to pretend to be confused in a tacit way.

After all, no one would have thought that the two Sword Qi Sects would eventually break out of a war that almost died together because of these piles of conflicts.

...

After all, he is a man in the world and cannot truly be idle. The game of chess ended much faster than Li Mu expected.

After seeing off Master Yu, Zhou Qingyun's attention was then focused on Li Mu. He held one hand on his back and touched his beard with the other, and his eyes kept looking at Li Mu.

"The breath is thick and solid. It seems that you have put in some effort recently."

Even though he tried his best to hide it, the expression between his eyebrows still betrayed his inner joy.

There are many disciples in the Huashan Sect, so naturally there is no shortage of a disciple of the second-rate realm, but there are not many who can break through the second-rate realm at the age of Li Mu.

Genius is always easy to attract attention, so it's fine at other times, but now Li Mu is never willing to show off.

But there was no way. I had just broken through the realm and could not perfectly restrain my breath, so I could not hide it from Zhou Qingyun's eyes.

"It's all the master's teachings well, and the disciples are just lucky..."

Before Li Mu finished speaking, Zhou Qingyun interrupted: "Don't say these nonsense, it's all my teachings. Why is it you who broke through, not others?"

While speaking, he glanced at Liu Bufan. The meaning of regret that he was not strong enough was simply beyond words.

At most, this is the only way. No one wants to encounter a bottleneck in martial arts, but it is impossible to avoid it.

Once you encounter it, you either use natural treasures to assist in breakthroughs, or you can only rely on time to slowly grind it in order to "accumulate and make a fortune".

Generally speaking, the better the qualifications, the easier it is to break the realm. If it weren't for the help of Jade Disk, Li Mu would probably have been at the third-rate peak for several years.

Perhaps because he realized his incompetence, Zhou Qingyun waved his hand: "Okay, since you have already broken through, then this time, you should have a place for you.

In the Sword Sect, you only need to pay attention to Wang Buding and Cheng Buyou. In the Qi Sect, you need to pay attention to Yue Buqun, Ning Buzhou, Zhang Bucheng, and the rest are not worth mentioning."

At its peak, there were thousands of disciples of the Huashan Sect, so naturally it was impossible that there were only these good seedlings. In order to ensure the inheritance and development of the sect, the Huashan Sect opened the mountain gate every three years.

Even for the same generation of disciples, the time span between the earliest disciples and the latest disciples may be more than ten or twenty years apart, and it is obviously meaningless to force them to compete together. Therefore, the competitions within the sect are often only held among the same batch of disciples.

When you see a leaf, you will know autumn. Among the disciples who were in the same batch as Li Mu, there are so many good seedlings, which is enough to show the prosperity of the Huashan Sect at its peak.
