Chapter Fifteen: When Friends Come

  Ling Jing was deeply immersed in his comprehension of the "Returning Wind and Falling Goose Sword Technique", unaware that it had been daybreak and sunset, but within this secret cave, only the faint light of the torches kept flickering.

  When the last move of "Windfall Goose Swordsmanship" was finally mastered, Ling Jing let out a breath and stood up with his sword in hand. The system prompted in his ear: "The host has learned the superior swordsmanship of Hengshan School, 'Windfall Goose Swordsmanship', through self-enlightenment."

  " Innate Tree Riding Martial Arts "Hui Feng Luo Yan Jian Fa" is lit up in advance, the current lighting progress is 2/9.

  "Quest: 'Martial Arts Collector' Current Progress 3/10"

  He felt a sense of relief in his heart when he heard the system's prompt, this strange encounter task reward was exceptionally generous, but since he accepted it, there had been no progress for a long time, now finally waiting for the progress to increase, naturally joyful in his heart.

  He looked at the Hengshan swordsmanship on the stone wall again, sighed and said to himself: "The superior swordsmanship is indeed not so easy to learn."

  Last time he learned that "Hengshan Yunwu Thirteen Styles" it was just about half an hour, but he also knew that it was because Mr. Mo Da was explaining to himself non-stop and pouring out his own understanding of practicing swordsmanship, so he could understand it that quickly.

  Now, when re-learning the more complex and profound "Hui Feng Luo Yan Jian Fa", I have encountered many difficulties. If it weren't for my own enlightenment being raised by a large margin, and also being able to refer to the wall's special martial arts that break down the Hengshan swordsmanship to find inspiration, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to learn this "Hui Feng Luo Yan Jian Fa" within today.

  And even if you've just learned the basics of this sword technique, you're only just getting started, and the progress on the talent tree is only "2/9" so far, still far from being able to achieve the level of "one sword strike nine geese".

  At this time, he looked into the cave again and saw that Linghu Cong was still sitting in his original position, as if he had not moved at all.

  He slightly shifted his gaze, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Lu Dahai's voice coming from outside the cave, shouting: "Big Brother Master, Little Brother Master, come out to eat!"

  Ling Jing suddenly felt a shock, and thought to himself: "I must not let Lu Houzi see this secret cave. This little guy is afraid of Master and Mistress to death, if he finds out about this place, it will be hard to keep the secret again."

  He was worried that Yue Buqun would occupy this secret cave for himself, with his character, for the sake of his Jianghu dominance, it's possible that he would do such a thing, and if so, wouldn't that be a great loss for him.

  Linghu Chong hastily called out to Linghu Chong to rush out of the secret cave.

  After exiting the secret cave, Ling Jing had not yet spoken, but a fatigued and dejected Lin Huichong hastily said: "Younger martial brother, the martial arts within this secret cave have many unorthodox aspects. If they were to be spread outside, I fear that our Hua Shan Sect as well as the Five Mountain Sword Sect would no longer have any standing in the Jianghu world. We must guard this secret and absolutely not let this news leak out."

  Ling Jing heard this and was delighted. Linghu Chong's words were exactly what he wanted to hear, so he happily said: "It's all up to Big Brother Master."

  Linghu Chong let out a bitter laugh, his face filled with helplessness and bitterness. Afterwards, the two of them hastily walked out of the cave and intercepted Lu Dahu outside.

  Lu Da Yu put the food box on the stone table outside and smiled: "Big Master Brother, Little Master Brother, have you figured it out?"

  Linghu Chong forced a smile, and Ling Jing, seeing that his expression was unusual, worried that he would reveal a flaw, so smiled and said: "Sixth Brother, I'm afraid I've troubled you. By the way, how is Shifu's body today?"

  Lu Da had a calm and peaceful shoulder, smiled and said: "Alright, who are we kidding, do we still need to be so polite?" Then he took out the food from the lunchbox by himself, and continued: "Little Shifu's body is fine now, it's just that Shifu and Shifus mother are worried about her after a big illness, so they don't let her move around too much."

  Ling Jing and Lin Hu Dung both let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, Lu Da You finally noticed Lin Hu Dung's abnormality, took two steps closer, looked him up and down, and exclaimed: "Big Master Brother, are you sick?" He stretched out his hand to touch Lin Hu Dung's forehead, wanting to check his temperature.

  Linghu Chong gently patted his hand and forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry unnecessarily."

  Lu Da had a hesitant "oh" and then urged the two to hurry up and eat.

  For several days after that, Ling Jing hid in the secret cave during the day to comprehend the martial arts on the stone wall. He could almost guarantee that he would be able to master a superior martial art every day. After six days had passed, he also learned several superior martial arts of "Hengshan School" and "Taishan School". The progress of this strange encounter task "Superior Martial Arts Collection Maniac" finally rose smoothly to "9/10", and as long as he learned one more superior martial art, he would be able to get the reward for this task.

  It will be a matter of course to open the second layer of the talent tree at that time.

  As for delivering meals, it has been Lu Da who has been doing it these past few days. According to Lu Hou'er, Yue Lingxuan has been confined at home by her parents in the mountain below and has recently been throwing tantrums at them.

  However, every day there are messengers from Lu Da You and Ling Jing, and the daily meals also need to be personally prepared before being sent up the cliff by Lu Da You.

  On the seventh day, Ling Jing arrived early in the secret cave to study martial arts. In these few days, he not only learned several top-notch sword techniques from the Five Mountains Sword Sect but also mastered some of the demonic sect's elders' self-created breaking techniques. He tried to integrate these moves into his own martial arts, feeling that his power seemed to have increased by a fraction. With excitement in his heart, it seemed that even his comprehension of martial arts had accelerated somewhat.

  This time he came in and went straight to the stone wall that recorded the sect's martial arts, selecting a sword technique to start practicing.

  However, after practicing a few moves, Linghu Chong also followed and came in, but he seemed to have no intention of learning the martial arts on this stone wall. He just kept circling around these stone walls, sighing constantly.

  Ling Jing seemed to have long been accustomed to such things, and was self-absorbed in contemplating martial arts, letting Lin Hu Duan sigh incessantly by her side.

  About four or five hours later, he had already grasped about half of the essence of Huashan Swordsmanship. At this time, however, he suddenly heard someone outside say in a loud voice: "Linghu brother, little ghost head, old friend comes to visit, why haven't you come out to greet me yet?"

  Ling Jing suddenly stopped in her tracks, a sword move that had only just begun was frozen in place, but soon, a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face.

  Linghu Chong was resting on one side, and now he muttered to himself in doubt: "This voice seems to be Brother Dong's, but how did he get here?"

  Ling Jing threw the long sword in his hand to the side and quickly walked out of the cave, Linghu Chong also patted the dust on his body and followed him out.

  Two people, one in front and one behind, came out of the cave entrance, and saw a handsome young man sitting at a stone table on the edge of the cliff. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Linglong.

  Ling Jing was overjoyed in her heart, and from the day she parted with him at Mount Heng, she thought it would be difficult to see this woman again, and she couldn't help but feel extremely lost.

  After all, this was the first woman to make his heart beat faster, and this feeling was different from his feelings for Yue Lingxuan. He had an instinctive admiration and fondness for Linglong, but towards Yue Lingxuan, it was mostly pity.

  He paused at the entrance, but saw Linglong winking at him, her appearance was indescribably charming and alluring, his heart skipped a beat again, his mouth slightly opened, but he felt his throat was a bit dry.

  The words reached the tip of his tongue, but all that came out were two words, and he foolishly said: "Ling...long..."
