"Xinghu Xiaozhu?" Li Muchan smiled and said, "The name sounds very elegant."
"This Xinghu small building is somewhat similar to our Canghai Mountain. Most of them are women. Their swordsmanship is exquisite. They also recruit male disciples. The women practice swordsmanship and the men practice swordsmanship. The swords and swords are combined and complement each other." Master Zhu Zhao said.
Li Muchan frowned.
Seeing this, Master Zhuzhao smiled and said, "Why, you are dissatisfied with a woman being the head of the family, are you?"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Master, is the owner of Xinghu Xiaozhu a man or a woman?"
Master Zhuzhao said: "It is said that she is a young and beautiful girl, similar to Yin Yue. She is also a powerful person and should not be underestimated."
Li Muchan shook his head: "Let's forget it, Master. Just like our Canghai Mountain, Canghai Magic Skills are mostly practiced by women, and men are always pushed to the side."
Master Zhuzhao gave him a blank look: "You brat speaks so directly! Why are you so stubborn? The martial arts in Canghai Mountain are more suitable for women to practice. What can we do about this!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Our Canghai Mountain is like this, and Xinghu Xiaozhu must be like this too. The sword technique is not as good as the sword technique, so what's the use of learning it?"
Knife skills are not as good as sword skills, and he is inherently weak. No matter how strong he is, his achievements will be limited. After practicing Qi, but being overpowered by others, it is better not to learn.
Master Zhuzhao hummed: "Xinghu Xiaozhu's sword skills are very exquisite. It's a great opportunity for you to learn it. However, you can't get in at all! There are only a few disciples in Xinghu Xiaozhu, so it's better to be lacking than to have too much."
Li Muchan said: "Is there no other master of swordsmanship?"
Master Zhuzhao shook his head: "There are many sword masters in Nanli, but these people will not accept disciples easily. It will not be easy for you to sneak in."
Li Muchan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Master, I'll go take a look before talking."
"Well, that's fine, you can adapt to the situation." Master Zhuzhao said with a smile and looked him over: "But your outfit is not suitable. The climate in Nali is humid and warm, so there is no need for leather clothes."
Li Muchan lowered his head to look at it, touched the soft fur, and laughed.
He made up his mind not to go to Xinghu Xiaozhu in any case. The female-dominated sect looked very beautiful, with many beauties, and it was very eye-catching. Only when he actually entered did he realize that it was not the case at all. He was inferior to others in every aspect.
It's hard for him, who is so chauvinistic, to endure it.
He cupped his fists and said: "Master, that disciple will go away for at least a year and a half, and at most three to five years. During this period, I will not have any contact with the mountain."
"Well, if anything happens to you, just send me a message." Master Zhuzhao forced a smile.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Disciple, take your leave."
He cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and strode out quickly.
***************************************
"Wait a minute!" Master Zhu Zhao shouted.
Li Muchan had reached the door, stopped and turned around: "Master, what else do you have to say?"
"You brat, I almost forgot, come here!" Master Zhuzhao waved.
Li Muchan walked closer and Master Zhuzhao took out a piece of plain paper from her arms: "Here you go."
Li Muchan took it, lowered his head and smiled: "Master is still thoughtful, disciple is ashamed!"
"The customs in Nanli are unique. Without official guidance, it is difficult to move forward, and without household registration status, it is impossible to gain a foothold." Master Zhuzhao said.
Li Muchan raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Master, isn't this name a bit too plain? Li Zhu..."
"You are a poor boy from the countryside. Your parents are both honest farmers. It's good to have this name. Just be satisfied!" Master Zhu Zhao said with a pursed smile.
"Alas..." Li Muchan shook his head.
"From now on, your name will be Li Zhu, remember it." Master Zhu Zhao chuckled: "Li Zhu! Li Zhu!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You still haven't agreed!" Master Zhuzhao couldn't stop laughing.
Li Muchan touched his nose: "Master, just spare me!"
Master Zhuzhao pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Okay, I'll spare you for once!... Nanli's martial arts has a strict hierarchy and strict system, which is different from our Dayan's looseness. Don't rush to do anything else when you go.
Well figured it out."
"Yes, Master." Li Muchan nodded.
"Don't be in a hurry to kill Lin Ping. Stand firm first and then take it step by step. If you can kill him, kill him. If you can't kill him, forget it. Don't force him." Master Zhu Zhao said.
Li Muchan said: "Yeah."
Master Zhuzhao warned worriedly: "Zhanran, you have to be careful. We won't be able to help you much when we get to Nali."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, I will be careful, you have said it several times!"
"You brat!" Master Zhuzhao gave him a blank look.
Li Muchan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Then disciple takes leave!"
"Okay, let's go." Master Zhuzhao waved his hand angrily.
Li Muchan turned around and left, strode out of Wuji Hall, and walked straight up the stone steps down the mountain.
Looking down with his void eyes, Wen Yinyue was pacing in her courtyard, the expression on her jade face changing, showing the endless struggle in her heart.
She suddenly walked a few steps quickly to get out of the small courtyard. Just when Yuzu was about to step out of the threshold, she took back her foot, gritted her teeth, turned around and went back to the courtyard, walked a few steps, couldn't help but leave the small courtyard, but went back.
After entering and retreating several times, when she finally stepped out and arrived in front of the Wuji Hall, she could no longer see Li Muchan.
Li Muchan's void eye saw her, and when he saw her staring at the foot of the mountain with a sad expression, he shook his head, he and his senior sister were destined to be destined to have no connection, and it would be useless to argue with her anymore.

Nanli Baiyun City Yanfei Tower
Yanfei Tower is one of the largest restaurants in Baiyun City. It has three floors and is as high as the clouds. The foundation is extremely high. The first floor is already more than ten meters high. You can sit on it and look down at the scenery below.
The first floor is the most lively, with people coming and going, and it is noisy. The second and third floors are private rooms, where most of the literati gather, and they are not used to such noise.
On the first floor, there were mostly gangsters, traders and lackeys, gathering together, drinking and eating meat, being generous and generous, talking and laughing loudly.
"Have you heard that Master Lin Shaotan has entered Xinghu Xiaozhu?" someone shouted loudly.
Someone laughed loudly: "You didn't realize it until now, it's already eight poles too late!"
"It's such a blessing that Mr. Lin Shaotan can enter Xinghu Xiaozhu!" A thick-bearded man patted the table and sighed with envy on his face.
"No!" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks next to him laughed and said: "Xinghu Xiaozhu is full of beauties, it is simply a gentle town!"
"Monkey, you've got it wrong. All the beauties in Xinghu Xiaozhu have thorns. You can't bear it even if they are sent to your door!"
"Hehe..." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks laughed and shook his head.
"Yeah..." An old man took a sip of wine, shook his head and said: "The world has really changed, and women have become so powerful. People's hearts are really old! People's hearts are not old!"
"Old man, this woman from Xinghu Xiaozhu has always been so powerful, not just for three to five years, but for the past hundred years." A loyal man chuckled.
"Just like this, there are still countless people vying for and desperately trying to marry a disciple of Xinghu Xiaozhu!" someone sighed.
"Old Huang, do you know why this is like this?"
"It seems that the women in Xinghu Xiaozhu are all beautiful because of their martial arts practice."
"Hey, it seems you don't know, does anyone else know?" A middle-aged man smiled, stroking his beard, shaking his head and scanning the crowd.
There is only a young man sitting at a table under the southeast window. He wears a sapphire blue gown, a melon skin hat, and a mustache. He has an ordinary appearance. At first glance, he looks young. But if you look closely, you can see the vicissitudes of life between his features.
He put the knife on the table, held the wine cup and sipped it slowly, smiling half-smilingly as he listened to the noise of the crowd.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, he suddenly put down his wine cup and said with a smile: "Master Bai, is it because of the power of Xinghu Xiaozhu?"
The middle-aged man turned to look over and said with a smile: "Master Li guessed wrong."
"Oh——?" Mr. Li raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What's the reason for that?"
This Mr. Li was none other than Li Muchan, and he was extremely curious at this time.
The middle-aged man glanced at everyone and laughed.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "Second servant, give Daxia Bai a altar of Gaoshanqing!"
"Okay -! A altar of high mountains and green mountains!" the waiter not far away shouted hurriedly.
The South Altar of Sanxiaotang is located in Baiyun City. Outside Baiyun City are rolling mountains. Li Muchan built a hut on a high mountain and opened up a piece of wasteland. However, it was winter and nothing could be planted. He could only wait until the next spring.
He lives here quietly by himself. He usually cuts some firewood and sells it in the city to buy some daily necessities. The rest of the time he practices swordsmanship.
He fought several gangsters and competed with some masters in the city, gaining a bit of fame. He gave the impression that he was not a master of martial arts, but he was also a master of swordsmanship.
His appearance has changed drastically now. His mustache has become darker and shinier, his eyebrows have also become darker, hair has grown on the top of his head to cover up his ring scar, and his whole temperament has also changed drastically.
Even those who were close to him did not dare to recognize him as Li Muchan.
After he came to Baiyun City, he found that what his master said was true and not exaggerated. Although his martial arts was strong, when he arrived in Baiyun City, he was not top-notch.
There are dozens of masters in Baiyun City alone. He tried to challenge a master, but was defeated in the end. He could only be regarded as a second-rate master.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li!"
Li Muchan waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter and not respectful. Let's talk to us, Master Bai."
"Okay!" The middle-aged man agreed happily and said with a smile: "This is the secret of secrets. Don't say it was me who said it!"
"Master Bai, don't show off!" someone shouted impatiently.
"Haha..." The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "It is said that the women in Xinghu Xiaozhu practice a strange skill called Taiyin Magic. It cannot break the body. Once the body is broken, all the skills will be injected into the opponent's body.
...So, hehe, the woman who marries Xinghu Xiaozhu will immediately become a martial arts master and reach the sky in one step!"
