My filial piety will never change

A rough estimate showed that the vassalage personnel now totaled over 600 people, mostly cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, with only about 30 above the Spiritual Transformation Stage. Furthermore, all of them were below the sixth level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, with the majority being in the first to fourth levels.

Because they were not from the same sect, their overall combat power might be slightly weaker. They were still not as strong as the local forces in popular areas like Yuquan Market.

But overall, Fangyuan's forces can be integrated together, making it easier for them to make a living instead of having to make a living in a scattered manner like before.

If the Yin Yang Valley, which is the leader, can produce another cultivator who has reached the Return to Void Realm, it will be able to become a middle-level force within the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao City, and then it will be able to compete with the local guys in the major markets.

Chapter 38 Willing to Stay

Speaking of Xiaoyao City and the market, they also received new news during the raid.

Yuquan Market has now become an independent entity under the Lingmu Sect of Xiaoyao City, and the subordinate organizations of Guimu Mountain and Yuzimen assigned there have completely evacuated.

This caused the total number of commissioned tasks at Yuquan Market to decline again, falling to about 30% of the previous level.

It was said that the cooperation between the three major forces in Xiaoyao City had begun to crack, and they began to divide up the various markets, no longer co-managing with the other two. Even the business within Xiaoyao City showed a trend in this direction.

In addition, they each announced their joining plans, inviting the elite forces within a radius of more than a thousand miles to form an alliance with them, and they would share some of the profits at that time.

So now this large area has begun to become chaotic. The sudden decrease in commissioned tasks and the infighting among the three major forces have made the middle and lower-level forces very uncomfortable.

If we form an alliance, we won’t be strong enough and can only be cannon fodder. If we don’t form an alliance, we may not even be able to make a living.

The situation is similar for Yin Yang Valley. It is unrealistic to rely solely on the market's entrustment to maintain stability in the newly integrated situation.

So it’s time to make a choice.

The health care project must continue to develop, but in addition to this, they can also choose to join one of the major forces.

After discussion among the senior executives, each held his own opinion.

Some people expressed their intention to join the nearest Yuquan Market, which would mean belonging to the Lingmu Sect.

Some people said that the Lingmu Sect had recently lost a Return to Void Realm elder to the Demonic Woman, and their strength had been greatly reduced. It would be more promising to join the most powerful Yuzi Sect.

Some people also said that with the advantage of numbers, they could complete the tasks in the market and this would last for a while.

Everyone talked for a long time, but no one could reach a consensus.

In the end, Shengying's proposal was the one that was approved. She said, "Yin Yang Valley's foundation is not stable yet. If we rashly join one of the three major factions, we will only be cannon fodder. What we need to do now is not to take sides, but to observe the situation. We only need to take turns sending out two horses every day to take on tasks as usual, and complete as many as we can. Combined with the capital we have looted so far, it should be enough to sustain us for a few months. During this time, the health care project should be on the right track, and we can then adjust the operation direction based on the overall changes."

Gongsun Ningyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Second Junior Sister, what you said makes sense. We can also make detailed arrangements and integration of the existing personnel when we have time."

Gu Lingling asked, "What if someone is jealous of us and wants to mess with us?"

It is inevitable that it is difficult to live in peace and tranquility when you are in a chaotic place.

Gongsun Ningyu's eyes turned cold. "I believe everyone has the same answer to this question."

Everyone agreed with this and after discussing it for a while, they all left.

Zhao Yuchen did not make any speech during this period. After the meeting, the guests also came.

He started his hard work again today.

Since Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling had completed their mopping-up mission ahead of schedule yesterday, only one Shengying was dispatched today to lead the team in subsequent stability maintenance work. The other two were temporarily resting.

Time flies, and it is dusk again in the blink of an eye.

Every guest left with a satisfied smile. Presumably, after tomorrow, Zhao Yuchen's status as the heir to the "miracle doctor" would be fully established.

Today's total revenue is a little higher than yesterday's, reaching 85,000 low-grade spirit stones, with an average consumption of 8,500 per person.

The injuries of these monks were basically serious, so they were willing to pay so many spirit stones.

The system also received an update in due time.

[Contribute to the sect, filial piety +9, three masters' favorability +3. Total filial piety: 51]

[Favorability: Gongsun Ningyu 81; Shengying 64; Gu Lingling 29]

When the health care clinic officially opens, ordinary technicians will be in charge of the treatment, and each of them may only receive a few hundred spirit stones, and senior technicians may only receive a thousand at most.

However, by then the traffic will be large, and we can make small profits but quick turnover, so the total will still be a considerable number.

The most important thing is that after each technician completes the conditioning, his or her own spiritual veins will also be exercised to a certain extent, and the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved. Yin Yang Valley will cultivate a large number of cultivators who are comparable to cultivation geniuses.

This will establish Yin Yang Valley's unshakable position in the future.

night.

Today it is Gongsun Ningyu's turn to teach him.

She changed out of her martial arts uniform from the day and put on a black corseted silk dress, exuding a fresh and charming aura.

Tonight she seemed even more silent than usual. During the day, they all had their own work to do and didn't talk much.

Zhao Yuchen didn't dare to speak carelessly and followed her to the back mountain of Yin Yang Valley. There were lush vegetation and a small path leading to the darkness.

Next to the path was another stream in the valley. Following the stream upstream, they came to a small artificial pond with a wooden bridge across it. Gongsun Ningyu came to the center of the bridge. The evening breeze blew her hair and skirt, making her look like a goddess of the night.

"Master, the environment here is very nice. This is my first time here."

"This is the place your master built for leisure. I will come here to meditate in my spare time."

She leaned on the bridge railing, her deep and beautiful eyes gazing at the water in the pool in the dark night.

When Zhao Yuchen wanted to say something, she gently patted the railing beside her and said, "Come here."

"Yes." Zhao Yuchen came to her side obediently and leaned against her like her. His waist and arms were in close contact with hers.

At such a close distance, Zhao Yuchen could smell every scent emanating from her body, and looking to the side and below, he saw her slender, snow-white legs.

Gongsun Ningyu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but her thigh moved towards his side, just touching the back of his hand.

It’s really slippery!

Zhao Yuchen was secretly pleased and was about to say something when Gongsun Ningyu said calmly, "Your third master told me everything."

"Ah? What did you say?" The first thing Zhao Yuchen thought of was that he and Gu Lingling were 'playing games' in the deep pool.

"She told you the purpose of our adoption."

Zhao Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Third Master must have conveyed my thoughts to you."

"Yes." Gongsun Ningyu's beautiful eyes looked at his childish face. "Master needs to confirm again. Are you really willing to stay and continue to develop Yin Yang Valley?"

"Definitely and definitely!"

"Okay!" Gongsun Ningyu's eyes flickered as she said, "Don't worry about your Second Master. I can protect you. But she also reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm today, and that's all thanks to you."

Zhao Yuchen said, "I have discovered a method to maximize the effect of the treatment, and it will definitely help Master to achieve another breakthrough in cultivation. How about I help you with the treatment after I finish learning the spiritual skills?"

Gongsun Ningyu subconsciously shuddered, then quickly regained her composure. "Yes. If you can learn my Jade Mysterious Fire Fist tonight, I'll tell you another great secret about Yin Yang Valley."

Zhao Yuchen said expectantly, "Then Master, please teach me faster!"

Gongsun Ningyu, who had looked indifferent just now, blushed slightly, took his hand and pressed it against her chest.

Zhao Yuchen's body trembled at the soft touch, "Master, what are you doing?"

Chapter 39 Let's Start Here

Gongsun Ningyu slightly increased the strength of her grip, her red lips parted, and she exhaled hotly, saying, "The Jade Mysterious Fire Fist mobilizes the fire of the heart's yang. Master is letting you feel its beating."

Zhao Yuchen indeed felt that the part where his hand was pressing was not only soft and elastic, but also the beating of his heart, like a small hot iron ball, hitting his palm.

Zhao Yuchen suppressed the ripples in his heart and said, "Master's warm heartbeat seems to be different from the normal heart rhythm."

Gongsun Ningyu's breasts were being pressed like this, and even without mobilizing her Heart Yang Fire, she felt a surge of heat within her. Her thighs rubbed against each other slightly, but she remained calm as she spoke, "This is exactly why I'm letting you experience this. To mobilize the Heart Yang Fire, you must control your heart rate according to the formula, allowing the heat it generates to flow through the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and into your fists."

Zhao Yuchen pondered, "The twelve meridians are interconnected and circulate throughout the body. Can the power of the heart yang be transmitted to other meridians, not just the fist?"

Gongsun Ningyu said, "This idea of ​​yours has been shared by all generations of learners. However, the power of Heart Yang is limited and can only be concentrated in one place to achieve maximum effect. Furthermore, since its main channel is the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, concentrating it in the hands and attacking with fists and palms is the best option."

Zhao Yuchen continued to ponder, "Then Master, please teach me the mantra."

"Don't let your hands leave your master's chest. Continue to feel the heartbeat there with the help of the mantra. After you have memorized all the rules, you can try it yourself." Gongsun Ning immediately conveyed the mantra bit by bit.

After the story was told, Zhao Yuchen's hand reluctantly left her chest and then he took his own action.

Following the mantra, he began to control his heartbeat and mobilize the fire of heart yang.

At this moment, Gongsun Ningyu placed her delicate hand on his left chest. "Master will always pay attention to your heart rate and ensure that you gain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Zhao Yuchen was almost heartbroken by the touch of this soft and boneless hand, but fortunately he had great willpower and quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

What shocked Gongsun Ningyu was that Zhao Yuchen was able to accurately control his heart rhythm and mobilize the heart yang fire on just his first try.

Although he had heard of his talent from his two junior sisters before, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Before she could calm down, Zhao Yuchen's hands had already been attached to the mysterious fire. Although the intensity was not high, he had learned it.

Zhao Yuchen laughed and said, "Ha, Master, this is the Jade Mysterious Fire Fist."

Gongsun Ningyu nodded in satisfaction. "Chen'er, you are truly gifted. Given time, you will surely become a peerless powerhouse. Now that you have learned, there is nothing more for your teacher to teach you."

She withdrew her hand and continued, "Just now I said I wanted to tell you a big secret. This secret is related to the God's Tomb."

"God's Tomb?"

"Hmm." She said with a deep gaze, "In ancient times, the gods and the demons from outside the domain started a great war, which ended in a loss for both sides. The demons from outside the domain temporarily evacuated the continent, but before evacuating, they spent a huge price to imprison a large number of gods in the tombs of gods, giving themselves time to recuperate. The founder of Yin Yang Valley, Tai Jiu Zhenren, was one of the gods who escaped by chance. At that time, he was almost exhausted and could only hide here.

Heir to the primordial yin and yang energies, he holds the only power capable of opening the Tomb of the Gods. However, as he nears death, he places his hopes on his descendants. After the Tomb of the Gods is opened and the gods are released, the tomb-opener can lead them against the inevitable return of the demons from beyond the realm. This is the unspoken mission of Yin Yang Valley. Unfortunately, to this day, no disciple has been able to open the Tomb of the Gods. The prerequisite for opening the Tomb of the Gods is the Great Perfection of the Yin Yang Law. This is why we use you as our cauldron.

Zhao Yuchen said, "That's not right, Great Master. Didn't Third Master say that your Grand Master had reached perfection? Why didn't he go to open the Divine Tomb?"

Gongsun Ningyu said, "He did indeed cultivate the Yin-Yang Art to perfection, but before he could open the Divine Tomb, he was killed by his enemies."

Zhao Yuchen sighed, "It seems that even the perfection of Yin-Yang Dharma is not invincible."

"He wasn't supposed to die, but he found the only way to lose. The twists and turns involved could take three days and three nights to describe. But now, you are a brand new hope. Third Junior Sister and I have discussed this and decided to give up the idea of ​​using you as a cauldron and instead truly train you. But you must not reveal this secret to anyone. Otherwise, it will bring disaster."

"Yes."

Zhao Yuchen agreed with her reminder deeply. Not everyone in this world is a righteous person. Perhaps speaking out could attract help from some top forces, but on the contrary, there would be people who were eager for the arrival of demons from outside the domain and destroyed the Yin-Yang Valley in advance to prevent them from opening the Tomb of the Gods.

Even the demons from outside the domain have already planted spies in the Yuxuan Continent in order to eliminate this uncertain factor.

Zhao Yuchen instantly felt that the name Yin Yang Valley was not a good choice, and changing the name might be more convincing.

This setting should be considered an easter egg of the game. If you can really liberate the imprisoned gods and then become their leader, your overall strength will be greatly improved!

Think a little excited.

"Then why didn't the successive rulers of Yin Yang Valley give up this mission? This would save a lot of trouble."

"Every time a master accepts a disciple, he or she will make them swear a spiritual oath to do their best to complete the mission. Even if they cannot do it themselves, they must pass it on to the next generation. But there is no need for you to swear an oath now. Your other two masters and I are still young, and no one can predict what the future may hold."

“But I will do my best.”

This is the end of the matter regarding cultivation and secrets.

Gongsun Ningyu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked nonchalantly, "Chen'er, you said you found a way to increase the effect of the treatment. What is it?"

As she spoke, her body moved closer to him again, intentionally or unintentionally.

The atmosphere inexplicably became subtle, and Zhao Yuchen said, "As long as Master completely relaxes his mind and body, and allows my disciple's Qi to deeply blend with your spiritual energy, the effect will be perfect."

Gongsun Ningyu asked, "Then what does it take to completely let go of your body and mind?"

Zhao Yuchen looked at the snow-white thighs that were within his reach and said, "Master, please don't resist at all and just enjoy it..."

Gongsun Ningyu looked thoughtful, her delicate red lips slightly pursed as she spoke in a very calm tone, "Master still doesn't understand. Why don't you try it superficially without using your spiritual power first to see if I can get into the state."

Zhao Yuchen was so angry at these words, "How do I try it?"

"Come."

She took his hand and gently floated down to the bottom of the bridge. There was a pier there, and she leaned her back against it. "Let's try it here. Use your hands to perform the conditioning techniques, but don't use the Qi, otherwise it will be difficult for me to enter the state."

It was extremely dark under the bridge, and he could only see the outline of her graceful body with her arms and legs free to move. Zhao Yuchen couldn't help but think of the scene with her in the dark cave that day, and his mouth suddenly became dry.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Gongsun Ningyu seemed to be deliberately sending out this message, hoping that he would touch her.

How could he retreat at this point? So he reached out and pressed his hand on her thigh, "Well, let's start from here..."

"Hmm~" Gongsun Ningyu let out a charming hum. Her hands had been placed on Zhao Yuchen's waist without her knowing when. "Continue..."
