Yaoguang Fairy Path

After the crowd dispersed like a tide, Li Yunxiao leisurely walked up to Ye Xirui and the others.

He gently stroked his slightly bulging belly, a hint of a smile on his lips as he said to Li Yuru and the other disciples, "You all should go back and practice. I'll take care of things here."

The younger generations bowed respectfully and left one after another.

Ye Xirui then turned her gaze towards Li Yunxiao. Her bright eyes moved in the night, twinkling like stars, yet tinged with a hint of sadness. "My husband, Yao'er's talent is too outstanding. I'm worried that she will cause unnecessary trouble. I've asked Yan'er to repeatedly instruct the disciples of the Li family that what happened today must not be leaked, but what if..."

Li Yunxiao looked up at the horizon. The dark night sky was dotted with stars, just like the determination flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, his face calm and resolute, as if everything was under control. "Madam, excessive worrying is of no use. The road to becoming a strong person has always been paved with thorns. Throughout a cultivator's life, he must not only fight against the heavens and the earth, but also compete with countless talented people."

Then, Li Yunxiao's eyes were as deep as the night, flashing with a calm and sharp light. "It is precisely those challenges and hardships that allow us to rise and transform into true powerhouses. Although Yao'er is not related by blood to you and me, and may not have a deep sense of belonging to the Li family, as long as we extend a helping hand at the right time, with her character and talent, I believe that this will only be a help to Yu'er, not a hindrance."

He paused slightly, his eyes revealing a deep fatherly love. "Xirui, we only have Yu'er in this life, so I naturally have to make every possible plan for her future. If I can provide a little help to Yu'er on Yao'er's path to growth, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for our Li family."

When Ye Xirui heard this, the worries in her heart slowly dissipated like a shadow illuminated by the sun.

She frowned slightly, as if in deep thought, then the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a warm smile, as warm as the spring sun: "Yunxiao, I adopted Yao'er as my daughter simply out of my genuine love and gratitude for her. You can't use her as a pawn."

After hearing this, Li Yunxiao showed a gentle smile on his face. He gently held Ye Xirui's hand and said softly, "Xiri, I'm afraid you misunderstood me."

I'm certainly not someone who would do anything to achieve my goals. As a husband, I simply hope that one day in the future, Shuyao will be able to help Yu'er when she's in trouble. My original intention was also to hope that this child would be able to overcome all obstacles and become a truly strong person.

Ye Xirui smiled lightly, a hint of apology in her eyes: "I was overthinking it. Since you already have such a plan, there is no need for us to be too deliberate. If we are too deliberate, it will make Shuyao feel uneasy."

Seeing this, Li Yunxiao raised the corners of his lips slightly with a hint of cunning. He lowered his head and whispered in Ye Xirui's ear, his voice full of pampering and joking: "Well, but as long as I am in your eyes, that's enough. As for the rest, I will worry about it." There was a hint of smile in his words, which made Ye Xirui blush and her heart beat faster.

Ye Xirui's cheeks instantly turned red like ripe apples. She looked around shyly, and when she saw that there was no one around, she dared to glance at the man next to her and said angrily, "You are so shameless." After saying that, she gently twisted her slender waist, turned around and left, leaving Li Yunxiao grinning foolishly there.

Li Yunxiao quickly put away the smile on his face and quickly followed Ye Xirui's pace: "Madam, wait for me..."

In another quiet place, Ye Shuyao was completely unaware of the noise from the outside world.

She was closing her eyes and concentrating. The yin and yang energies in her body were like two swimming dragons, slowly flowing through her tendons and veins, interweaving and blending, and finally calming down. Her face was calm and peaceful, as if the whole world had stopped and she was the only one resonating with the heaven and earth and blending with the universe.

After a while, Ye Shuyao seemed to wake up from deep meditation. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an exquisitely decorated room.

Ye Shuyao was slightly stunned, looking around in confusion. She remembered that she should be cultivating in the Xuanshuang space, so why did she suddenly appear outside? But then, she shook her head, temporarily suppressing the doubts in her heart.

She looked at her hands with satisfaction, as if she could feel the subtle power surging between them.

He muttered to himself, "The art of formations is indeed profound and extensive. This first chapter contains ten exquisite formations, each of which contains endless mysteries."

Ye Shuyao sighed softly, a somewhat complacent smile on her face: "Although I have just stepped into the ranks of primary array masters and can only practice the array in the first chapter, and cannot unlock the secrets of the last two chapters for the time being, but even if the Liangyi array can only exert the primary strength now, its power is enough for me to cope with many challenges.

The levels of formation masters are divided into: primary formation master, intermediate formation master, advanced formation master, formation master, formation saint, and formation saint.

Ye Shuyao couldn't help but feel puzzled, wondering what level Fifth Uncle's formation had reached.

She sighed slightly, as if she could hear the voice in her heart echoing: "Fifth Uncle, you are my guide in the art of formations. How can I repay you?" Her thoughts drifted away, and her heart was filled with respect and gratitude for Fifth Uncle.

Then, she shook her head, bringing her thoughts back to reality, and decided in her heart: "Forget it, when I return to the sect, I must visit my fifth uncle at the Formation Peak more often and show my filial piety to him." Her principle, Ye Shuyao, is to repay a favor, and she never forgets anyone's kindness.

Ye Shuyao took a deep breath and began to look inward at her dantian.

There, her golden elixir stood quietly, but what was shocking was that the golden elixir was no longer golden, but a mixture of black and white, with a yin-yang fish pattern on the surface.

This bizarre scene was like a thunderclap ringing in Ye Shuyao's mind: "My...my golden elixir has mutated?"

She widened her eyes in surprise, her heart filled with confusion and anxiety.

But then, he calmed down and began to think carefully: "Perhaps it is because of my recent practice of the Liangyi Formation that the golden elixir has undergone this mutation.

However, it doesn’t seem to have any adverse effects on me.”

After calming down, he decided not to delve into this issue for the time being. His cultivation was still shallow, and there were many things he could not understand.

When I return to the sect, I will go to Master to ask for advice and find out what exactly is going on with this golden elixir mutation.

After saying that, Ye Shuyao entered the Xuanshuang space again and sat in the thatched hut. She took out the thunder cultivation technique from the storage ring that Luo Yunhan gave her and stuck it on her forehead. The technique turned into a stream of light and entered her sea of consciousness.

Deep in her consciousness, an ancient and solemn cultivation technique slowly unfolded - the Nine Tribulations Thunder Technique.

This spell is divided into three levels, and each level contains the ultimate mystery of thunder energy.

The first level, Lightning Release: Chidori: Concentrates spiritual energy in the palm of your hand to kill the enemy with one blow, and its attack power is strong enough to penetrate the human body.

The second level, Thunder Net Binding: Using the power of thunderstorms, you can weave a thunder net to bind the enemy and restrict their movements.

The third level, the Nine Tribulations Thunder Domain: After forming a field filled with thunder energy around the cultivator, it can not only enhance the cultivator's own attack power, but also cause continuous suppression and weakening of the enemy.

After scanning through the three levels of spells in her sea of consciousness one by one, Ye Shuyao began to practice the first level - Thunder Release: Chidori.

She walked out of the thatched hut and came to the purple bamboo forest at the back. This purple bamboo forest was formed after she moved the purple thunder bamboo into the space. Now it was lush and green, more numerous than before, and became an excellent place for cultivation.

Ye Shuyao took a deep breath of fresh air, closed her eyes, and began to practice according to the instructions on the spell.

She first adjusted her state of mind to the best state, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only herself and the weak thunder spiritual power. She then sensed that the air around her was filled with strands of thunder spiritual power, which were like naughty elves, jumping and shuttling in the air.
