News of the Qingcheng Sect's night raid on the Fuwei Escort Agency, which ended in failure, spread quickly. It must be said that information in the martial arts world spreads very fast.

Although the attack started strong but ended weakly, and the attackers were mostly low-level disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, the sudden appearance of the mysterious top-tier expert and the hidden expert from the Lin family still attracted a lot of attention.

On this day, Li Daoyi brought the Lin family father and son back to the old Lin family residence in Xiangyang Lane, the place where Lin Yuantu lived when he first came to Fuzhou.

Pushing open the door, one is greeted by a yard full of weeds. No one has come here since the old man died.

"Sigh, I never expected it to be so abandoned." Lin Zhennan sighed as he looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, after all, this was the place where he grew up.

"Father, how come I didn't know our family had an old house here?" Lin Pingzhi asked in confusion.

"It was your grandfather's dying wish that you not tell anyone this is our Lin family's old residence. I never expected the Taoist priest to be so wise."

After speaking, he looked at Li Daoyi.

"Master, may I ask why you have brought us here today?"

"Do you want to know why your Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, which you've practiced for over twenty years, is no match for your father's?"

Lin Zhennan nodded quickly.

"The answer is inside."

Li Daoyi pointed to a room.

The father and son looked puzzled, not understanding what Li Daoyi meant, as there was clearly nothing in the room.

"Room beam".

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan rushed into the house and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a well-hidden gray package between the beams. It would be very difficult for anyone to find it unless they looked up specifically.

Soon, Lin Zhennan came out excitedly with the package in his hand.

"Master, could it be this?"

"Open."

"yes."

Lin Zhennan opened the package with trembling hands, and was stunned when he saw what was inside.

"A cassock?" Lin Pingzhi leaned closer to take a look and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Master, how come it's a cassock?"

With a wave of his right hand, Li Daoyi caused the cassock inside the bundle to fly up instantly, then unfold and hang on a wooden rack to the side.

"Dad, there are words on it."

The two quickly went forward to check.

"Evil-Repelling Sword Technique..."

"To master this divine skill, one must first castrate oneself..."

The father and son read it aloud in unison.

"Hiss..." Instantly, the two felt a chill run down their spines and stared at Li Daoyi in disbelief.

Li Dao nodded and then stepped forward.

The robe was covered with many characters, which were the internal energy cultivation method.

"The reason you can't master it is because you lack this mental technique. Only by using this technique to wield the sword can the power of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique be revealed. Otherwise, no matter how much you practice, you'll only have the moves in name only," Li Daoyi explained.

"Master, what is the meaning of these first few words?" Lin Zhennan asked.

"It means what you see."

"Why?" The father and son unconsciously squeezed their legs together.

"Haha, because the origin of this Evil-Repelling Sword Technique comes from a eunuch in the palace, created by a master eunuch."

"Then my father..."

“That’s right, Lin Yuantu castrated himself, and you were adopted by him,” Li Daoyi said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan's face turned deathly pale, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"I see, I see..." Lin Zhennan shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.

"Ding, a special cultivation technique has been discovered. Do you wish to collect it? Collecting it will earn you corresponding points." At this moment, the system notification sounded in Li Daoyi's mind.

"Hmm?" The system, which usually liked to play dead, actually spoke up on its own.

"This technique will bring harm for millennia; I, this humble Taoist, will take it from you!"

After saying that, Li Daoyi was about to grab the kasaya when Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but quickly step forward and put it away.

"Pingzhi, what are you doing?" Lin Zhennan was furious.

"Father...I..." Lin Pingzhi hugged the cassock with some reluctance.

"Give it to the Taoist priest. He's right, this thing can't stay in the Lin family."

“But…” Lin Pingzhi hesitated.

"You bastard, do you want my Lin family line to end?" Lin Zhennan cursed.

At this moment, Lin Pingzhi suddenly shuddered, as if he had just come to his senses, and hurriedly knelt on the ground holding up his cassock.

"I'm sorry, Daoist Master, I was just bewitched," Lin Pingzhi said quickly.

"Alas, it's only human nature. Anyone would be tempted by the prospect of becoming a top master. You and your son have quite good self-control. Don't worry, after you accept this robe, I'll see if I can help you improve your martial arts techniques."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to snatch the cassock from Lin Pingzhi's hand and hand it to Li Daoyi.

With a flick of his hand, Li Daoyi's cassock vanished.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique Internal Strength Chapter, reward 500 points."

"Awesome..." Li Daoyi was overjoyed.

More than half a month passed quickly. During this time, the Qingcheng Sect seemed to have disappeared and did not cause any more trouble. Moreover, people from all walks of life came to visit Fuyuan Escort Agency, trying to find out Li Daoyi's identity. Now that people know that the Lin family father and son personally welcomed Li Daoyi into the mansion that day, they connected him with the expert who repelled the mysterious man in black.

However, those who came during this period were mostly second- or third-rate sects in the martial arts world, which Lin Zhennan could barely handle on his own.

Outside Fuzhou City, Yue Lingshan, who had regained her true appearance, and Lao Denuo were waiting anxiously. Yue Lingshan looked innocent and cute, with snow-white skin, bright eyes and white teeth. If she weren't so young, she would definitely be a top beauty.

Suddenly, Yue Lingshan's eyes lit up.

"Second Brother, look."

A group of about twenty people approached from a distance, each carrying a sword and looking travel-worn. Leading them were a man and a woman. The man resembled a scholar and had a refined air about him, while the woman was a mature and beautiful woman in her thirties or forties.

"Father, Mother!" Yue Lingshan ran over excitedly.

"Shan'er." The woman also showed joy.

The newcomers were from the Huashan Sect. The scholar-looking man was Yue Buqun, and the beautiful woman was Ning Zhongze, known in the martial arts world as the Heroine Ning, who was also Yue Buqun's wife.

The little girl cheered and rushed into her mother's arms.

"Greetings, Master and Mistress." Laudenuo also came over to greet them.

"Cough cough..."

At that moment, one of the disciples suddenly coughed.

Yue Lingshan raised her head, her eyes showing joy.

"Senior Brother." She was about to pounce on him, but Yue Buqun stopped her with a look, and she stuck out her cute tongue.

A man of about twenty years old walked out from behind Yue Buqun, with a handsome appearance and a touch of nonchalance.

“Master, look, we’ve arrived at Fuzhou City. Let’s go in,” the man said.

"Chong'er, you are the senior brother here. Don't forget my words, and don't overindulge in alcohol," Yue Buqun said.

The man was none other than Linghu Chong, who immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Master, please rest assured, your disciple would never dare to disobey your orders." However, his words seemed somewhat insincere, and he even winked at Yue Lingshan after speaking.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun shook his head helplessly. His disciple was good in every way, but he was addicted to alcohol.

"Senior brother, should we go straight to the Lin family or...?" Ning Zhongze asked.

Ning Zhongze was actually very puzzled as to why Yue Buqun would suddenly pay attention to the Lin family and even send his daughter and second disciple to Fuzhou in advance. This time, he was going down the mountain to Hengshan to attend Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony, but he did not expect to deliberately detour to Fuzhou.

"Back then, Lin Yuantu had a relationship with my master. This time, I discovered that the Qingcheng Sect intended to harm the Lin family, so I took precautions," Yue Buqun said, making up an excuse.

Although Ning Zhongze still had some doubts, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Alright, let's go inside first and head straight to Fuwei Escort Agency."

After saying this, the group entered the city.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the blue ox was leisurely grazing, while Li Daoyi was studying the things in the system.

"One word: expensive. Two words: damn expensive." Looking at the pile of goods, Li Daoyi couldn't help but complain.

He's already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, but even seeing the Foundation Establishment Pill worth ten thousand, he couldn't help but want to curse. Not to mention the other things; even the cheapest Spirit Binding Talisman costs a hundred, not to mention the other treasures.

"Sigh, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long. It seems I'll have to make a big splash," Li Daoyi thought to himself.

"Master Daoist, Master Daoist."

At that moment, Lin Pingzhi rushed in.

"What is it?"

"Master, someone's here! It's the Huashan Sect, the Huashan Sect!" Lin Pingzhi exclaimed excitedly. This was currently a top-tier sect in the martial arts world, and he had just seen the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun. He couldn't help but be excited.

"Huh? The plot has changed again." Li Daoyi was somewhat surprised.
