Ye Qingxuan looked at the "Qingyun Chui Xun Tie" in his hand with a pained expression. His first task was to copy this document a hundred times. The text read:

To the junior disciples of the temple: You, being enlightened scholars, have entered the orthodox path of mysticism, and must possess the good roots of past lives, to achieve the blessings of this life and to cultivate the non-falling of future lives. If you have a sincere heart towards the Dao, you should follow the laws of the Supreme and abide by the rules of our Daoist sect. Alas, the disciples do not realize this, seeking only comfort and ease in their lives, or using martial arts for evil, causing trouble, not understanding the prohibitions of mysticism, and tarnishing the reputation of our Daoist sect.

All the things received in the temple are provided and supported by the people of the world. Every grain of rice and every coin we use is the result of the people's good deeds. They are the fat of the masses, the sweat of the farmers, and cannot be consumed without effort, nor can they be received without merit. You, being foolish and unreflective, do not know how to repay, and do not cultivate. As a result, you engage in deceit and immorality, harming others for your own benefit; or indulge in meat and wine, gambling, and corrupting the teachings; or turn to other sects, defaming the orthodox teachings; or practice false techniques, deceiving and misleading people; or act with violence, harming the innocent...

Such rascals, with their various despicable acts, are they what the orthodox teachings should do? Not to mention you, the later learners, even if the heavenly gods commit faults, they will lose their positions; if the earth spirits commit faults, they will be demoted; if the immortals commit faults, they will fall to the dust; if the ghosts commit faults, they will be destroyed; if the kings commit faults, they will lose their countries; if the officials commit faults, they will be punished; if the scholars commit faults, their names will be erased; if the common people commit faults, their blessings will be taken away... All faults and evils have their consequences. How can you, who commit such evils, escape retribution? The later disciples of our teachings should reflect in their hearts and minds, and not create more sins and debts.

The instructor, reflecting, renews his resolve, repents of his past wrongs, diligently practices martial arts, and bravely advances in the Dao. If you do not realize this early, you will surely lose your true nature, fall into the dark path, and sink into the sea of suffering, transforming into a different kind of being. At that time, regret will be too late. Wise and discerning people, think carefully, if you miss this life, the great path will be hard to follow!

The five hundred characters were clear and thought-provoking, and Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but admire the talent of his cheap master. However, for Ye Qingxuan, understanding the meaning of the text was not difficult, but copying it a hundred times was a matter of life and death. Not to mention a hundred copies, even one copy was extremely difficult. The soft brush was hard to handle, and he couldn't apply force to the tip, making the writing process extremely slow.

Is the youth of this little Daoist to be wasted here? Forget it, what punishment, no punishment, now is not the time to think about these things.

Ye Qingxuan waved the notice in his hand, sat down, and bit the brush, pondering the current situation.

Since the battle in front of the temple ended, several days had passed. Ye Qingxuan occupied the "Scripture Hall," which his sixth senior brother He Qingzhu loved but he hated. Although it was called copying scriptures, it was essentially a form of solitary confinement. In the battle in front of the temple, his way of handling the problem was too reckless. If it weren't for the help of the guests from Luoyang, the Qingyun Temple would have been in an irreparable situation.

However, the crisis of the Qingyun Temple was only temporarily resolved. Whether it was the Changkong Sword Sect or future enemies of the sect, the pressure was real. Before, the enemies of the sect were always in the shadows, with no actual interaction, so Ye Qingxuan always felt very relaxed. Now, the Changkong Sword Sect was like a sword hanging over his head, and the imminent threat made Ye Qingxuan feel the true pressure for the first time.

The Changkong Sword Sect would not let him off, and even the Iron Flag Sect would secretly resent him...

Ye Qingxuan was thinking and weighing... In the current situation, should he prioritize enhancing the sect's strength or focus on improving his own strength?

After much consideration, Ye Qingxuan chose to prioritize enhancing the sect's strength... On one hand, his bond with the Qingyun Temple was too deep to sever; on the other hand, the enemy's strength was too great, and his own strength alone was insufficient to deal with them; finally, the methods to enhance his own strength were limited. For example, in the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion," to obtain more advanced techniques, higher exchange conditions were required. Currently, he had 83 skill points and only 2 exchanges for blue-level martial arts, which were limited. If he exchanged for martial arts for himself, it wouldn't help much...

If he enhanced the overall strength of the sect, it would be different.

With this decision, Ye Qingxuan resolved to put in some effort and bring out the martial arts and techniques of the three major Daoist sects—Quanzhen, Wudang, and Xiaoyao...

He thought to himself: I don't believe that with the supreme martial arts of these three major sects, I can't revitalize the Kunwu Sect. If I can't, I'll change my name to something rotten!

Thus, Ye Qingxuan spent two days thinking about the limits of what he could do at this stage.

First, the "Quanzhen Heart Method" and "Jinyan Gong" must be popularized. These two techniques are undoubtedly the best choices for the foundation-building stage and make up for the lack of low-level techniques in the sect.

Second, the sect lacked a powerful offensive technique. The "Qingyun Thirty-Six Swords" were good, but they focused more on basic sword skills and improving the feel of the sword. In combat, their killing power was insufficient.

After much consideration, Ye Qingxuan set his sights on the Huashan Sect's killing technique—the "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords."

The "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" is a high-level green-level martial art from the novel "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" by Jin Yong. It is one of the sword techniques of the Huashan Sect and one of the sword school's ultimate techniques. During the sword competition on Yvnu Peak, the sword school disciples used these three sword techniques to kill several qi school experts. After the sword school's defeat, the qi school experts carefully analyzed these three sword techniques, pointing out that they were demonic, focusing only on the subtlety of the sword techniques and forgetting the qi school's principle of "controlling the sword with qi." However, they secretly admired its power. During the sword competition with Linghu Chong at Shaolin Temple, Yue Buqun, in a hurry, used this sword school technique, which he usually despised, but was still outmaneuvered by Linghu Chong.

This technique involves three continuous sword strikes, executed in one breath, making it extremely swift and decisive.

However, this sword technique has a significant flaw: it lacks a corresponding internal cultivation method.

As is well known, in the Divine Martial Continent, a sword technique consists of basic moves and a matching internal cultivation method. Without the internal cultivation method, the sword technique is powerless.

In the world of Jin Yong's novels, which is a low-level martial world, relying on the subtlety of the sword technique, one can still achieve success even without internal strength. However, the Divine Martial Continent is clearly a high-level martial world, as evidenced by the fact that the "Xiaowuxiang Gong" is only classified as a red-level technique.

Taking the "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" as an example, this sword technique is purely a set of sword moves. If facing a foundation-building stage opponent, the opponent's defense is insufficient, and this sword technique has great power, capable of taking the enemy's life in an instant. However, if facing a later-stage expert, whose body is protected by internal strength, the physical defense is strong, and this sword technique without internal strength support might not even pierce the opponent's body, significantly reducing its killing power. If facing a pre-natal stage expert with innate qi protection, it would be a waste of effort, and the sword might not even touch the opponent's skin.

The "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" is rated as a high-level green-level technique, which shows the power of its killing moves. If it could be evolved using the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion" to derive a matching internal cultivation method, it would undoubtedly become a powerful weapon for the sect.

Deciding to act, two days ago, Ye Qingxuan used 10 skill points to exchange for this martial art through the "Langhuan Lingmiao Pavilion," and then used the "Martial Art Evolution System" to evolve a matching internal cultivation method, which cost him another 10 skill points and two days.

Thus, on this day, Ye Qingxuan obtained a high-level blue-level sword technique. The evolved "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" not only has sharp moves but also a matching internal cultivation method, significantly increasing its killing power. The evolved internal cultivation technique is particularly ingenious.

The key to the evolved "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" lies in the phrase "one breath, three strikes." This means using a single breath of internal strength to execute three sword techniques in rapid succession.

When ordinary people use martial techniques, they usually match each move with a corresponding internal strength. However, the circulation of internal strength requires time and speed. The reason ordinary people cannot maximize the speed of their sword techniques is not just because their sword speed is insufficient, but often because the speed of internal strength circulation cannot keep up with the speed of the sword.

The Huashan sword school's approach is to abandon the coordination of internal strength and rely solely on increasing the speed of the sword. When facing true experts, the power is limited. To have a swordsman simultaneously increase the speed of both the sword moves and internal strength circulation to the extreme, it would require years of arduous training, and those who can achieve this are all renowned experts.

Of course, there are special techniques that can achieve this, such as the "Piyi Sword Technique" derived from the "Kuihua Manual," which is known for its swift and bizarre movements.

The reason the evolved "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" can achieve this goal is due to the newly evolved internal circulation method, which allows the user to instantly increase internal strength output. When attacking with one sword, there is enough internal strength to support three continuous strikes, executed in one breath. This way, both the sword speed and attack power are instantly tripled.

Ye Qingxuan's martial arts talent is remarkable. He noticed that the "one breath, three strikes" internal circulation method of the evolved "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords" has a profound connection with the "Xiaowuxiang Gong" method of expanding meridians and acupoints. This unique internal strength burst technique makes this sword technique a unique pure killing technique in the Qingyun Temple.

As long as the user can withstand the shock of the internal strength burst, any swordsman can instantly achieve "one breath, three strikes," and even exceed this limit, striking more times and maximizing the speed of the sword technique.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the three stacks of densely written papers in his hand, which were three martial arts manuals: "Quanzhen Heart Method," "Jinyan Gong," and "Death-Dealing Three Immortal Swords."

After some thought, he finally made up his mind and called out to the window, "Please ask my third senior brother Qingsong to come over—"
