Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 26 Emei Secret Treasure
Lin Pingzhi used his broken sword to exchange for an ordinary long sword from Zhu Ting's shop for a five-day short-term rental.

The three of them returned home, and Lin Pingzhi finally asked the questions in his mind.

“Brother Lu, why do you want me to rent this sword?”

Lu Ping was silent for a long time, and did not directly answer his question. Instead, he said, "From now on, you can just call me Boss. The words 'Brother Lu' really sound weird. If you don't know me, you might think I'm a pervert."

"Uh... well."

"Although the Armor and Martial Arts Manual can be learned quickly, I cannot guarantee that you will not make mistakes in the process, so I want you to start practicing from today, and let me see the results!"

"I...I know."

As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi took the sword he had just rented and began to practice the moves of the Earth Scroll in the courtyard.

His internal strength was weak, and when he swung his sword his moves were empty and powerless, and his moves were extremely unskilled. It was obvious that not only had his muscles and bones not been well strengthened before, but he also did not possess much talent in martial arts.

On the other side, Xiao Yuer finally found an opportunity to speak.

"I'm going to get out of here."

"Oh?"

"Life here is indeed not bad, but if I stay here forever, I will just move from the Valley of Evil to another place to settle down. I have lived this kind of life for more than ten years and I don't want to live like this anymore."

Xiao Yuer laughed and said, "The world is so big, I want to go out for a walk!"

"Then where are you going?"

"Do you remember the 'Yan Nantian Treasure' I told you about before? The location shown on the treasure map is in Emei. I plan to go there and take a look!"

[System prompt! Trigger the main quest 'Emei Secret Treasure']

[Current Task]: Go to the foot of Mount Emei and inquire about the news

Lu Ping immediately became interested and pulled him over: "Such an interesting thing, how could you leave us two good brothers behind?"

Xiao Yuer was stunned: "Ah...what do you mean?"

Are you going too?
"Go, go to Emei! Not only that, but the third brother and I will go with you, too. Let's just think of it as a team-building activity!"

Lu Ping patted Xiao Yu'er's shoulder and pulled him into the house. "Pack your things, we'll leave tomorrow!"

“Hey…wait…wait…!!”

The main quest triggered by the system this time is different from the previous ones.

In some online martial arts games, as the game version is constantly updated, long main quests will appear one after another in the game world, and players will slowly promote the development of the plot through these quests.

If I am not mistaken, the main quest [Emei Secret Treasure] given by the system this time is of this type.

Based on his many years of experience in playing martial arts games, Lu Ping believes that when he arrives in Emei, he will continue to trigger tasks such as 'Investigate the Secret Treasure' and 'Seize the Secret Treasure', and maybe even 'Uncover the Conspiracy' and 'Become Famous in Emei'.

Regarding Yan Nantian's secret treasure, Lu Ping couldn't deny its existence outright. After all, the world was different now. Maybe Yan Nantian really left something behind? Although the probability was low...

Then, Lu Ping also wanted to see whether there was any underground treasure at the bottom of the cliff at the back mountain of Emei.

In the original novel, the treasure in the underground palace was Xiao Yuer's chance. He obtained the secret book of "Five Absolute Divine Skills" from it, and his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds afterwards.

Lu Ping also couldn't guarantee whether the treasure existed or not, but he had to try his luck.

Even though in terms of power, the 'Five Absolute Divine Skills' are not as good as the 'Six Styles of Heavenly Absolutes' and 'Weaponry and Armor Martial Arts' that he is practicing now, it should still have its merits.

What's more, he had long wanted to go out for a walk, so he might as well take this opportunity to go out and have a clear direction, which would at least be much better than walking around aimlessly.

……

The next day, Lu Ping rented a carriage and took Xiao Yuer and Lin Pingzhi to officially set out for Mount Emei.

"Emei Peak is located in 'Shuzhong County', one of the seven counties of the Suzaku Dynasty. It will take us about three days to get there."

Along the way, Lin Pingzhi and Xiao Yuer took turns driving the carriage, while Lu Ping was responsible for teaching the two people who were new to the world and knew nothing about it, some basic common sense.

The Suzaku Dynasty occupied 70% of the area of ​​Southern Wulin and had strong capital. It nominally governed more than a hundred martial arts sects. Among these sects, Emei was one of the most prominent ones.

In this world, the founder of the Emei Sect is naturally not Guo Xiang in the Jin worldview. Lu Ping doesn't know exactly who it is. He only knows that it has been passed down for more than ten generations.

"Many years ago, due to differences in ideology, the Emei Sect split into two. Up to now, it has become the 'Northern Emei' led by Dugu Yihe, and the 'Southern Emei' led by Nun Miejue."

"Among them, the majority of the disciples in North Emei are male, while the majority of the disciples in South Emei are female. Although the two sides are only separated by a mountain, they seldom interact with each other. They only hold a small competition every three years and a big competition every twelve years to determine who is better."

"After the small competition, the loser will be forced to leave the mountain for three years. In the following three years, all matters related to the Emei Sect will be managed by the winner. The Twin Peaks Competition will determine who will serve as the 'Emei Sect Leader' for the next twelve years."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuer couldn't help but ask: "You said that Emei was split into two because of the concept, and it has continued to this day, so what exactly is the reason for their separation?"

Lu Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know the details, but I heard it was because of a question like 'Should Emei let a man or a woman be the head of the sect'?"

Men and women quarrel all the time over gender issues. This happens in every world and every country, the only difference is the degree. Lu Ping is not surprised at all.

"In the eyes of most people in the martial arts world, North Emei is full of sloppy old bachelors, while South Emei is full of stubborn old nuns. No matter which one they are, they are all ruthless people."

"But there are exceptions to everything. After all, the two peaks are from the same lineage and are close to each other. There is also a grand event that takes place every three years. It is inevitable that young men and women will accidentally fall in love, and it is also common for them to move to another place for their loved ones."

"In recent years, the number and status of this kind of people in the Emei sect have become increasingly important, and they have become a third-party force that can fight against the 'old bachelors' and 'old nuns'. At one point, they even called for the 'unification of the two Emei sects.'"

Lu Ping could talk about the gossip about Emei Mountain all day long, but in order to avoid the journey being too boring, he only said a little bit each time and then stopped.

He learned this technique from Old Man Sun, and it was very effective. It whetted Xiao Yu'er and Lin Pingzhi's appetite and made their tempers worse and worse. Several times, they almost couldn't help but use force to force him to continue.

Soon, three days passed and the three finally arrived in Shuzhong County.

In a small town at the foot of Mount Emei, Lu Ping returned the carriage to the "Suda Carriage Company" which was spread across the seven counties of the Suzaku Dynasty, and then took Xiao Yuer and Lin Pingzhi to the nearest inn.
