Chapter Fifteen: Honesty and Integrity

  Li Yunfei walked out of the room and unexpectedly saw that, apart from Ma Xiuzhen, several others were also waiting for him. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked: "Ma Xiuzhen, why are they here too?"

  Ma Xiu Zhen felt a bit depressed and said in a downcast tone, "My three junior sisters also want to go down the mountain to buy things. They want to come with us."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Alright then, let's all go together, shall we?"

  All the way, Li Yunfei walked to the street, looking at the crowd on the street, looking at the shops all around. It seems that the business in Ming Dynasty is very prosperous and it's a dynasty where people are very rich. Because the common people are very rich, they can afford to go shopping. So there are many people on the street.

  These four beauties don't look like female knights at all. Haha, laughing and playing around. Found the legendary Wangji Baozi shop. Invited the four beauties to have breakfast inside. The buns from this Wangji Baozi shop are really delicious. Li Yunfei ate eight buns in a row.

  At this time, Sun Xiuying said: "Li Yunfei, you are so greedy, eating so much."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said, "In this life, one must pay attention to eating, dressing, using things, and living. So I want to eat the most delicious food, wear the most comfortable clothes, use the best things, and live in the most comfortable house."

  Looking at the four beauties of Mount Emei, Li Yunfei smiled and said: "I'm not greedy for food yet. Lu Xiaofeng that guy would travel thousands of miles to eat zongzi at Wind and Moon Tower in Beijing every year around this time. Compared to him, I'm far behind."

  Shi Xiuyun asked: "You have delicious food and good wine, everything is of high quality, where does your money come from?"

  Li Yunfei sneered and said, "There are always people who don't know what's good for them in this world. I have many enemies, and they all want me to die. So I fight back, even if I don't kill them, but they still pay the price. That's why the money and goods on their bodies often come cheaply to me."

  He closed his eyes to rest for a while, then said: "Moreover, there are many mountain bandits and robbers in this world. Killing them doesn't give me any psychological burden, they're quite wealthy after all. So I can also live a good life."

  Li Yunfei sighed and said: "Let's go!" And then he led the way out of the baozi shop.

  It can't be said that women of any dynasty are the same, but when it comes to shopping, they all have a strong endurance and not a single complaint. But Li Yunfei was exhausted with backache and waist pain.

  Maybe modern men are all like this. Li Yunfei didn't have any feelings, but a few beauties were moved.

  Before long, the morning was over. The five of them casually found a restaurant to eat at. They entered a place called Huayun Inn, and the waiter hurriedly came forward, bowing his waist and asking: "Sir, are you here for a meal? Please go upstairs to the elegant seat."

  After a few people sat down, the shopkeeper said: "Welcome to our humble restaurant, I don't know what you'd like to order. Our signature dishes are very famous. Would you like to try some?"

  Li Yunfei said: "Alright, bring out eight signature dishes, four hot and four cold. And a jug of good wine. Hurry up."

  "The waiter said: 'Don't worry, sir, the dishes will be served immediately. Just a moment!'"

  The dishes were served quickly, and the waiter reported the names of the dishes one by one. The four hot dishes were: Pistachio Rabbit Dices, Original Flavor Lung Slices, Sour Spicy Ribs, and Spicy Crispy Duck.

  Four cold dishes are: Pepper and sesame chicken slices, Sesame sauce phoenix tail, Lotus meat slices, Fragrant sauce whole chicken.

  The noodles were fresh and delicious, and several people quietly started eating. Just then, a sudden noise was heard from downstairs.

  Li Yunfei and others walked down the stairs, looking at a monk talking to someone. The monk said: "I never lie, honest monk is honest, I really don't have money, otherwise, I'll wash dishes for you. I ate your bowl of noodles, I'll help you wash dishes for a day."

  But the boss still wouldn't give in. Li Yunfei couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Boss, put his meal on my account."

  The boss saw that Li Yunfei and his men were all armed, so he didn't dare to provoke them. He hastily said: "Alright, I'll put it on the account of that gentleman."

  Li Yunfei said to the honest monk: "If the monk hasn't eaten enough, he can come up and eat together."

  The monk walked up and sat down, then picked up a chicken leg with his hand and started eating without using chopsticks.

  Shi Xiuyun said: "How can monks still eat meat?"

  The monk ate and laughed: "Amitabha! The monk is helping them to transcend, so that they can be reborn as soon as possible."

  Ye Xiuzhu found it somewhat strange and asked: "Why is it called 'early birth'?"

  "Honestly, some people enter the animal realm and are reborn as animals. Monks eating more means letting an animal be reborn earlier, monks have boundless merit. Moreover, whether I eat or not, there will always be someone who eats, as the saying goes: 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the Buddha's heart.'"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Honest monk, indeed one of the four great monks, Buddhist law is really superb." After finishing, he also lowered his head to eat.

  Ye Xiu Zhu asked again: "Since you are one of the four great monks, how can you still be troubled by a small boss? Don't you know martial arts?"

  Li Yunfei said: "The honest monk's iron head skill is unparalleled in the world, how can he not have martial arts skills."

  At this time, Ma Xiuzhen also became curious and hurriedly asked: "Why didn't you fight back?"

  The old monk lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he was too embarrassed to talk. Li Yunfei snorted and said: "Even if it's not the four great monks, even if it's Ximen Blowsnow, the master of Hanshan Mountain Villa, or Ye Gucheng, the master of White Cloud City, if they eat without paying, they would be scolded by others and wouldn't be able to fight back."

  The monk honestly still lowered his head and ate his own food, as if everyone was talking about someone else.

  Li Yunfei asked: "What did Old Honest Monk come to Emei for this time?"

  The monk said: "I am here to see my nephew. I will go up Mount Emei."

  Ma Xiu Zhen asked: "You also have a nephew?"

  The monk smiled and said: "Monks can't have nephews, I didn't come out of a stone crack. How can there be no relatives?"

  Li Yunfei asked: "Who is your nephew, monk?"

  The honest monk said: "My nephew is Zhang Yingfeng, who is one of the three heroes and four beauties."

  Ma Xiuzhen exclaimed in surprise: "Your nephew is Zhang Shixiong! I am Ma Xiuzhen of the Three Yings and Four Xius. They are Ye Xiuzhu, Shi Xiuyun, and Sun Xiuying. However, Zhang Shixiong is not at the mountain gate. He was sent out by Master to temper himself. You've come too late, Master."

  The monk smiled and said: "Monks travel all over the world, everywhere is home. Even if my nephew is not here, I won't starve to death."

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "Never mind, I won't interfere with your business either. Beauties, let's finish eating and go." After finishing speaking, he put the money on the table and led the way out.

  Emei Sihou followed behind and walked out. Only Laozhi Shang was eating alone, looking very hungry. When Laozhi Shang saw Li Yunfei leaving, he didn't make a sound.

  Li Yunfei looked at the four beauties and hadn't had enough, so he suggested buying them some things. He accompanied the four beauties to buy a lot of cosmetics and gold and silver jewelry. They strolled until evening, and when they saw that it was getting late, they decided to return to Mount Emei.

  Li Yunfeng was thinking about his swordsmanship all the way back, and he realized that "Crazy Wind Fast Sword" could only be considered the worst swordsmanship among high-level martial arts. So if he wanted to become stronger, he must practice his inner strength well and also change his swordsmanship.

  In Li Yunfei's heart, the strongest swordsmanship in the world of Lu Xiaofeng is undoubtedly Ye Guicheng's Tianwai Feixian and Ximen Chuiyun's Hanmei Swordsmanship. Therefore, no matter which set of swordsmanship he obtains later, it will be incredibly powerful.

  But it's just a wild idea after all, getting their martial arts skills is really too difficult. It's just a luxury to think about.

  However, what is needed now is to practice the Mingyu Gong well, because if the Mingyu Gong is practiced to level 6, it can reach the realm of a top-notch master, which is the peak of acquired skills. As long as you break through the bottleneck, you will enter the legendary innate realm, which is equivalent to having a top-level master. If you break through the innate, you may be able to compress your internal energy to form a golden elixir. You will become a legendary terrestrial immortal, and after breaking through the void, you will become an immortal, and it's the kind with the highest combat power.

  The next day, Li Yunfei found Dugu Yique. He wanted to try his hand with Dugu Yique. Moreover, fighting against such a master would increase his experience and reduce the difficulty of breaking through his bottleneck.

  Dugu Yiyue's swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world, his skills were extremely high. Li Yunfei and he exchanged blows, but it wasn't even a match, not even ten moves could withstand. Li Yunfei felt somewhat stifled in his heart. It seemed that there was still a huge gap between himself and top-notch masters.

  "Your swordsmanship is among the best of your peers, but remember that a good sword not only needs to be fast, it also needs to be stable. To become a top-notch swordsman, you need to have both speed and stability in your strikes. I've heard that Ximen Chui Xue, a young swordsman from the new generation, has a sword that is both fast and stable. He's known for being able to kill without spilling a single drop of blood. That shows just how good his swordsmanship is."

  After listening to Du Gu's words, Li Yunfeng suddenly realized that his swordsmanship was only pursuing speed, speed, and speed. He had never emphasized stability before. So he closed himself off to improve his swordsmanship.

  Then Li Yunfei wanted to retreat for a period of time, and practice the Mingyu Gong well. He remembered that in The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Qiao Feng relied on his profound internal energy to use an ordinary Arhat Fist to defeat a group of experts, making them fall like flowing water. It can be seen that having a deep internal energy is very useful.

  After a month and a half of closed-door training, I finally broke through to the 6th level of Mingyu Gong, and Kuang Feng's Fast Sword also reached its maximum level. Its power has greatly increased, and it seems that I have already reached the peak of the post-heavenly realm. Among top-notch masters, I am now considered invincible.

  Just couldn't reach the innate boundary, so he went out of the pass.

  Arrived at Emei Grand Hall, saw Dugu Yiyue sitting there, so Li Yunfei went up and greeted him.

  Dugu Yijue saw Li Yunfei coming out of the pass and said, "Congratulations, Young Master Li's kung fu has made great progress. It's a joyous occasion."

  Li Yunfei said: "Thank you, Dugu, for your praise. I have come this time with an important matter to attend to. I will be leaving soon and won't be able to bother you again, please forgive me."

  Dugu Yuelong burst out laughing and said: "Li Xiaoyao is being polite, I don't know what business Li Xiaoyao has that requires him to leave."

  Li Yunfei said: "My good friend Huamanlou's father is sixty years old today. I want to go and congratulate him."

  Dugu Yijue said: "Young Master, you're too polite. I'll send someone over when the time comes."
