My filial piety will never change

The Balang group was shocked by this momentum, and almost at the same time thought: We must not let her make a move!

So the three of them attacked Gu Lingling together, intending to stop her.

"I am the eldest senior sister, and I will die first! Let my blood pave the way for my junior sister!" Gongsun Ningyu was fearless and stepped forward, sacrificing herself in exchange for Gu Lingling's chance to attack.

Balang and others felt their scalps tingling. It was the first time they had seen such a reckless woman.

It was foreseeable that the two women were doomed. But their best outcome would be at least a broken arm or a crippled leg. Or even death.

But the matter has already been exposed and there is no way to stop it, so I have no choice but to do it.

At this critical moment, a charming laugh spread out under the bright moon. "Hey, where did these three mice come from to covet my rice jar? They woke me up while I was sleeping!"

A feminine force spread across the battlefield, pulling Gu Lingling and Gongsun Ningyu back at the same time.

Gu Lingling's spell was interrupted, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. She nearly rolled her eyes and fainted. But it was better than dying of exhaustion after launching a move.

Gongsun Ningyu was also dragged backward, her hips colliding mercilessly with the ground. She rolled over on the spot, dizzy and dazed.

Ba Lang and the others missed their attacks at the same time. When they were stunned, a graceful figure passed through the darkness, and invisible spiritual power threads enveloped the three of them like a spider web.

Masked Number Two was frightened by the aura: "Damn it! Seventh level of the Divine Transformation! Run away!"

puff puff!

When the spiritual silk fell to the ground, Balang and Masked No. 1 died on the spot. Only Masked No. 2 had the most physical strength and had not been injured before, so he barely escaped with serious injuries.

Before he disappeared from the battlefield, he glanced back. He would never forget this scene!

I saw an extremely gorgeous demon figure slowly descending, like a witch of the dark night, and landed in front of the bodies of Balang and Masked No. 1. Her foxy eyes were staring at the direction he was fleeing.

Masked No. 2 was shocked physically and mentally, and he rolled and crawled into the darkness, while a thousand huge waves surged in his mind: Second Valley Master, Shengying!

Chapter 8 The Masters Look Very Bad

[Help Shengying heal once, filial piety value +10, favorability: 32, total filial piety value 10]

Congratulations on unlocking Shengying's first milestone: Bronze Filial Son. Receive an additional reward: a Lucky Dice. Use it in times of crisis to receive a random lucky help.

[Shengying's next milestone: Silver Filial Son. Required Favorability: 100. Achieve this milestone to receive even more generous bonus rewards.]

After Shengying left, the system sent a warm reminder.

But Zhao Yuchen was as steady as an old dog, sitting cross-legged on the bed, immersed in cultivation.

The yin and yang energies in the body circulate endlessly, and the cold and hot in the dantian alternate, becoming stronger and stronger.

He discovered that after using the Great Treasure Mirror to help Shengying heal her injuries, her cultivation had actually improved.

This means that the Great Treasure Book of Spiritual Veins is not just a simple service skill, but a special method of cultivation.

When he uses his yin and yang energies to help patients heal, they will be greatly consumed in order to adjust the patients' imbalanced yin and yang.

During this adjustment process of reducing the excess and replenishing the deficiency, the spiritual meridians throughout the body are exercised.

Every treatment is a test, and every recovery will make you stronger than the last.

For example, now, his strength was almost drained after treating Shengying just now.

But once you sit in meditation and regulate your breathing, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will enter your body twice as much, and the yin and yang energy that were originally consumed will immediately be produced continuously from your dantian, and will be even stronger than before.

All his limbs and bones shook violently.

Breakthrough! Second level of Qi Refining!

Even Zhao Yuchen couldn't help but take a breath.

Such a fast cultivation speed is simply shocking and makes ghosts and gods cry.

If he continues like this, he only needs to keep making great treasure mirrors for others, and his cultivation level will increase rapidly.

But he soon became worried again. Once he entered the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his three masters would probably devour him like jackals.

Although dual cultivation requires the willingness of both parties to achieve the greatest effect, there is no guarantee that one of the masters will lose control and force the issue.

My body, as small as a pony, cannot withstand being crushed by such a big cart.

I must find a way to hide my cultivation level. It won't be too late to reveal it when I truly surpass them.

No...even if my cultivation level is higher than theirs, I cannot expose it.

The filial piety system is deeply intertwined with them. Revealing one's transcendental strength would certainly render them unable to act, but it would also significantly alter their state of mind and attitude, significantly reducing their opportunities to fulfill their filial duties. It might even lead to the Tian Gang acting as the other way around, which would be truly absurd.

You should know that the higher the level of exchange for items in the Filial Piety Shop, the more ridiculously powerful they become. Before squeezing out these items to obtain sufficient protection, it is better to be cautious.

Furthermore, as long as you don't show your strength, you can always use them to take the lead, while you can hide behind them and develop secretly.

Ever since these three women treated him like a fat pig in the hope of filling their stomachs one day, they had no right to blame Zhao Yuchen for his current plan.

Therefore, being able to hide one's true cultivation level is of utmost importance.

So, how should one hide one's cultivation?

Each realm has a corresponding aura that is revealed. Although ordinary cultivators can restrain their aura to make themselves appear weaker, at most they can only suppress one or two minor realms. Only those who are extremely powerful at the level of Hedao or Yuhua can completely restrain their aura.

But once you start, it will be like flying at the door, impossible to stop.

Try it!

Zhao Yuchen took a deep breath and concentrated his mind, hiding the yin and yang energies deep in his Danqiao. In an instant, not a drop of breath was leaked, and he looked no different from an ordinary person.

This was not enough, he needed to maintain his realm at the first level of Qi Refining, so he slowly released his Qi, and his realm was revealed bit by bit.

After reaching the aura of the first level of Qi Refining, he stopped immediately.

Zhao Yuchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be so easy to control.

This is actually due to his physique of perfect yin and yang, which achieves an absolute balance of yin and yang, and combined with the exquisite control of yin and yang by the Great Treasure Mirror of the Spiritual Veins, he has achieved the breath control technique that only top cultivators can master.

He can even hide some of his Qi inside and fight only with the external Qi without revealing his true level.

Whether it is in battle or in daily life, it will be extremely confusing.

As long as the enemy is deceived by his external cultivation, he will be at a fatal disadvantage.

Speaking of cultivation...

Second Master's realm seemed to have improved after he completed the Great Treasure Mirror. It could even be said that the improvement was significant.

The description in the Great Treasure Mirror does state that spiritual vein conditioning will strengthen the subject's spiritual veins, but long-term conditioning is required to achieve better results.

The second master only did it once, and not only did his injuries recover, but his cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds, entering a whole new level.

Is it only for the masters who also practice the Yin-Yang Dharma that the extra benefits come, or does it have the same effect on other patients?

The reason behind this may require more experimental subjects to explore.

The outer hall of Yin Yang Valley.

The three valley masters sat in their respective seats.

Gongsun Ningyu's clothes were torn, and her snow-white skin was half black and half purple due to the erosion of bloody wounds. Her breathing was still not steady, and her breasts were rising and falling, obviously she was overdrawn.

Sheng Ying returned to her pale state, lying on the big chair like a dead snake, her jade hand supporting her forehead, her beautiful eyes dim, as if all her energy had been sucked dry, completely devoid of the proud demeanor she had when she killed Balang and Masked No. 1 in one move.

But the two mentioned above are in relatively good condition. The most miserable one is Gu Lingling.

She bore the most wounds. Her once lively eyes were lifeless, her lips as white as her teeth. Her top was covered in blood, her skirt torn, and her two white legs beneath it were crisscrossed with scars. And these were only the external injuries. Because she had forcibly held back her last desperate move, her Dantian was damaged, and her Qi was scattered throughout her spiritual meridians. Without the aid of a top-tier elixir, it would be difficult for her to even recover, let alone improve.

The three sisters looked at each other, and all smiled bitterly with mixed feelings.

The good news is that they have survived this ordeal and the three sisters are still alive; the worry is that they don’t know what the future holds for Yin Yang Valley.

Although they won the battle today, more than 20 disciples died and more than 20 were injured. More than 10 of the disciples who rushed back later expressed their intention to withdraw on the spot.

These people were smart. Even though one of the Second Valley Masters unexpectedly broke through to the seventh level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the other two Valley Masters were in a semi-invalid state. The disciples were also severely injured.

After tomorrow, several other forces that are eyeing the Yin Yang Valley will take advantage of the situation and move in. What can we do to stop them then?

"Three Valley Masters, the battlefield has been largely cleared. The wounded have been taken care of." Hall Master Sophie's face was also exhausted, but she wasn't seriously injured and could temporarily handle the aftermath on behalf of the three Valley Masters. She stepped forward and said, "We've also identified the masked man. His name is Ma Dangshui, and he's one of the Zui Qing Gang's retainers from Yuquan Market. Ba Lang frequently visited the Zui Qing Gang's brothel, and likely met Ma Dangshui that way, promising him some benefits to help him."

The Zui Qing Gang, a major gang in Yuquan Market, owns casinos, brothels, and Lingshi Manor. They rely on the Lingmu Sect of Xiaoyao City, and few dare to provoke them within a radius of hundreds of miles.

In terms of scale, even ten Yin Yang Valleys combined cannot compare to it.

Fortunately, this was a private job taken by their retainers. If they were formal internal members, Yin Yang Valley would probably be razed to the ground in an instant.

Gongsun Ningyu said calmly, "Master Su, thank you for your hard work. I'll let you know if there are other arrangements."

"Yes."

Sophie retreated.

Gongsun Ningyu looked at Shengying and asked hopefully, "Second Junior Sister, what do you think?"

Sheng Ying squirmed her delicate body and said lazily, "The best way is to pack up and leave."

Although she had inexplicably broken through to the seventh level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm with Zhao Yuchen's help, she still hadn't recovered from her injuries by 10-20%. She had exhausted her remaining strength in the fight to kill Ba Lang, and her current combat power was not much higher than that of her senior and junior sisters.

Even if we exhaust our family resources to recover our strength before daybreak, it would be difficult to save the situation.

Gu Lingling raised her half-dead eyelids and said, "Yin Yang Valley is our foundation that we have run for many years. How can we... Well... let the two senior sisters decide."

She also knew that staying here would only lead to death. Unless a miracle happened and the three sisters could recover within a day, everything would be in vain.

Gongsun Ningyu was also somewhat unwilling, but as the eldest sister, she had to be the first to make a decision.

She took a deep breath and prepared to speak.

"Masters, you all look so pale! Do you want me to help you heal?"

Zhao Yuchen came out from the back hall, blinking his big eyes and speaking with full filial piety.

Chapter 9: Conditioning Gu Lingling

While resting from the battlefield, Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling had already learned from Shengying that Zhao Yuchen knew how to cultivate his spiritual veins. This had even helped Shengying's realm to improve.

The three sisters were all confused by this phenomenon.

But as soon as he rolled out, their expressions changed, as if they saw a ray of hope.

Gongsun Ningyu was the first to speak: "I heard from Second Junior Sister that your spiritual vein conditioning techniques are quite impressive?"

Zhao Yuchen looked around at his three masters. Sheng Ying threw him a coquettish glance, while Gu Lingling chuckled and waved to him weakly.

He walked into the hall and said spontaneously, "After breaking through the first level of Qi Refining, I had a sudden idea to combine Master Jia Tengyin's massage finger techniques with the Yin and Yang energies. I found that the two complemented each other very well. I dared to try it on Second Master, and it did indeed have an effect on healing the injuries to his spirit veins. Masters, this may be a great invention!"

The three sisters looked at each other in bewilderment, having never heard that mortal massage techniques could be combined with spiritual energy.

But then he thought, many spiritual skills are also derived from mortal martial arts. Zhao Yuchen accidentally created this skill, which is not illogical. It's just that the logic is not very clear.

If it were that easy, the profession of spiritual doctor could be completely eliminated. Why would it take dozens or even hundreds of years of training?

If I force an explanation, I can only say that it is related to his yin and yang constitution, and the way he practices Yin and Yang, a mental method that touches upon the origin of philosophy and is very inclusive.

The three sisters, based on the Yin-Yang Dharma, each learned a completely different spiritual skill, which was enough to demonstrate the high compatibility of the Dharma.

But it is undeniable that Zhao Yuchen, at the age of only twelve, had already created this method of regulating spiritual veins, which was truly amazing.

Gongsun Ningyu pondered and said, "Then I'll help your Third Master recuperate first."

Gu Lingling said: "It's okay, Senior Sister, let you go first, I can handle it..."

"You look half dead, do you think you can hold on?"

"All right..."

Zhao Yuchen was already very happy in his heart, he could make a lot of money again!

Outwardly, he remained solemn as he spoke, "Disciple will definitely not hold back! However, the conditioning is extremely exhausting, and my cultivation is still shallow. Both I and the one being conditioned will need some replenishment. Otherwise, even if it works, it will be difficult to recover our physical strength."

He had heard the conversation between the three women before he came in. If he wanted to get through the next few days safely, it was not enough to just recover from his injuries, he also needed to reach peak physical strength.

Gongsun Ningyu made a quick decision and said, "I'll have Sophie use up all the spirit stones and elixirs in stock. You can just go ahead and do it."

These reserves were originally intended to be used to train Zhao Yuchen to break through to the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as possible, but at this moment of life and death, who would care about so many things?

"Yes!"

Zhao Yuchen obeyed the order and helped Gu Lingling's petite body up from the chair. "Let's go, Third Master. I'll take you back to your room."

"Ah."

Gu Lingling was not polite and her soft body lay on Zhao Yuchen.
