My filial piety will never change

The content of the meeting was to formulate a new management plan for Xiaoyao City.

Their proposal was to implement the principle of cooperation based on zoning management. This meant that trade and personnel could flow normally, and new rules would be followed, and vicious competition and fighting between districts would be strictly prohibited.

The above proposal has become a joke since the conflict between the three major sects. Because times and resources are constantly changing.

The reason why the three major sects split up was because of limited resources, fierce competition, and uneven distribution of benefits.

Although Lingmu Sect has now been incorporated into Yuzi Sect, Yinyang Valley has made a strong move in, and the resource situation around Xiaoyao City has not improved. So how long can this false illusion of peace last?

However, the Yuzi Sect, recognized as the strongest and most established faction in Xiaoyao City, was clearly not so naive. They likely had other motives in releasing this proposal.

However, even so, all participants, including Yin Yang Valley, agreed to the proposal.

The Yin Yang Valley needs time to develop, and Guimu Mountain cannot compete with the Yuzi Sect without the assistance of the Yin Yang Valley, so it can only follow.

As for the other lower-level forces, seeing that the three major leaders all agreed to the plan, they dared not oppose it and just had to survive for the time being.

The four masters and apprentices gathered together, analyzing the situation and ultimately coming to the conclusion that the Yuzi Sect must be truly intent on taking control of Xiaoyao City, and everything they were doing was paving the way for this goal. Maintaining the status quo meant they needed time.

Then, it depends on who is better prepared.

Zhao Yuchen said, "Xiaoyao City is different from the area surrounding Yuquan Market. It's too large, and there are countless forces stationed there. We can't truly control the outcome by relying solely on the top few fighters. So, in addition to improving our own strength, we must also make preparations on the other hand. We must try to pull the middle and lower-level forces to our side. Even if the battle ends in a draw, we will still gain a lot of support and gain a greater advantage."

Gongsun Ningyu agreed and said, "Chen'er is right."

Gu Lingling blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Then what should we do?"

Sheng Ying said calmly, "Benefits and a comfortable environment are always the key to winning people over. At this meeting, an area in the south of the city was allocated to us for management, including the original commissioned market. We will use this as a foundation and integrate it into the Yin-Yang Market. Beyond our established revenue quota, we will reduce rents for merchants and provide guarantees. We can also create exclusive identity cards for the south of the city, enjoying benefits such as conditioning discounts, commission reward bonuses, and spirit stone subsidies."

Zhao Yuchen smiled and said, "What makes us different from other forces is the sustainability of our core business income. We are not afraid of giving up some of the profits. After these resources are distributed, they will eventually circulate within our jurisdiction. In fact, the loss is not as much as you think."

The strategy has been finalized. The next step is to determine one's own strength.

When Gongsun Ningyu and Sheng Ying heard that a new way of dual cultivation had been found, they were both moved and cast charming glances at Zhao Yuchen.

Zhao Yuchen coughed lightly and said, "I've already practiced dual cultivation with Third Master today, and I haven't digested the benefits yet, so..."

This was the first time he had touched the hurdle of harmony with the Dao. He was unable to continuously cultivate his spiritual consciousness on the same day, let alone practice with several others.

However, once he officially enters Hedao, his ability to withstand spiritual power will be greatly enhanced, and it will only be a matter of time before the four of them can practice together.

The two masters felt a little regretful, but they really couldn't force it. If Zhao Yuchen went astray due to excessive spiritual training, it would be a big loss.

After the discussion, everyone returned to their rooms.

Tonight, the three masters surprisingly did not come to attack at night. They probably didn't want to disturb him from digesting today's gains.

Zhao Yuchen naturally did not let down his masters' invisible care and was completely immersed in concentrating his mind and regulating his breathing.

When he woke up the next day, he felt that he was one step closer to the Dao.

Today, Shengying went to implement the policy finalized yesterday, while Gu Lingling conducted a simple inspection of the area that had just been allocated here.

Gongsun Ningyu and Zhao Yuchen stayed at Yinyang Peak to take charge.

The subordinates took care of the trivial matters, and the master and disciple walked hand in hand in the valley.

This is an undeveloped area with lush vegetation and the chirping of insects.

The tree trunks and branches blocked the sunlight from the clear sky, making the surroundings appear cool and dark.

When they reached the depths of the dense forest, Zhao Yuchen quietly took Gongsun Ningyu's hand and tickled her palm mischievously.

Gongsun Ningyu's delicate body felt slightly numb, but she pretended to be calm and said softly, "Chen'er, why did you come to such a remote place?"

Zhao Yuchen set up a concealing method around him and explained seriously, "Of course, I want to practice dual cultivation with Master. The more dedicated you are, the easier it will be to succeed. So I chose this place so that Master can devote himself wholeheartedly."

As he spoke, his hands had already wrapped around her waist and were massaging her side.

Gongsun Ningyu blushed and said, "Well, it's not convenient in the wild."

Although she said it was inconvenient, her waist was already leaning on Zhao Yuchen, and her red lips were pressed against the corner of his mouth, as if she was going to start tasting him.

"But Master loves the outdoors. Whenever you're out in the wild, you always get particularly excited, just like now. I can feel the moisture from the garden through your skirt." Zhao Yuchen's other hand had already reached into the garden, touching a small ditch in the dense bushes. An idea suddenly struck him, "Ha, I have a great idea. Master will definitely like it!"

Chapter 23: Evil disciple!

"Chen'er, Master can't see anything anymore."

Gongsun Ningyu's eyes were shielded by talismans, and even her consciousness was sealed within her body. She could only rely on smell, sound, and touch to perceive information from the outside world.

Zhao Yuchen let her lie on the soft grass and gently lifted her shirt. Under her towering underwear were her breasts that he never tired of playing with.

"Don't you feel excited when you can't see anything?" Zhao Yuchen's hand gently fiddled with the tip of the peak.

"Hmm~" Gongsun Ningyu's cheeks were already flushed. Because she couldn't see anything, her nerves had become much more sensitive. The slightest touch made her feel numb, but she didn't want to admit that she actually liked this feeling. She could only bite her thin lip and keep silent.

Zhao Yuchen had another flash of inspiration. "Ha, Master likes heat and hates cold, so he must be more sensitive to cold things. How about this?"

He concentrated his icy sword energy, and a chilling icy aura appeared at his fingertips. The aura condensed into tiny ice beads, which fell from the air and struck Gongsun Ningyu's snow-white, flat belly. They quickly turned into ice water and dispersed.

"Ah~" Gongsun Ningyu's delicate body twisted in fear, "Evil disciple~ Don't bully your master like this~ Ugh~"

Before she could finish her scolding, Zhao Yuchen kissed her sweet lips with ice water in his mouth and fed her the water.

"Gulu~"

Gongsun Ningyu could only be forced to drink the icy liquid. She should have been afraid of the cold, but her emotions were aroused by the hot kiss and the stimulation. The interaction between cold and heat made her feel something different.

Ice beads continued to fall, like a drizzle, covering her body. Zhao Yuchen's hands were covered with frost, and every touch made her body twitch. When his fingers reached the spring in the valley, she hugged Zhao Yuchen tightly, trying to use the warm spring water to wash away the cold air.

"Chen'er~stop~stop..." Gongsun Ningyu couldn't bear this torture anymore and begged for mercy for the first time.

In this complete darkness, she focused all her attention on the sensations of her body, which doubled the pleasure. Adding to this the mischievous play of Zhao Yuchen, she felt as if her body was about to collapse. If this continued, she would definitely lose her composure.

It's not like she had never lost her composure in front of Zhao Yuchen before, but she clearly felt that this time would be different, and the last bit of her dignity would be gone.

Zhao Yuchen sat on her upper abdomen, releasing the divine tool, passing over the peak and placing it under her nose, letting her breathe in the unique scent. The cold hand still roamed in the valley, and even her legs could not escape it.

"Master, don't be afraid. Only if you completely let go and enter the state, can our subsequent spiritual and mental dual cultivation be successful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

As he spoke, he used his other hand to play with her breasts, letting the cool air penetrate into the most sensitive area.

"Ah~" Gongsun Ningyu opened her jade mouth slightly, and the jade liquid flowed out from between her lips and teeth, dripping down her cheek into the grass.

It was the first time that Zhao Yuchen saw Gongsun Ningyu so sensitive. Just a little play made her reach the state of heavenly tide.

"Don't be so loud, Master. It would be bad if other disciples saw us." Zhao Yuchen said deliberately, "I can't guarantee that the concealment technique will be effective."

The cold air grew stronger, covering the entire valley and even sending an ice bead into her backyard door.

"Chen'er...you are really...hmm~"

When Gongsun Ningyu heard this, she felt stimulated by the invasion of foreign objects in her backyard. Her body, which had just reached its climax, was about to usher in another wave. She had reached her limit of endurance.

The scent of the artifact kept wafting into her nose, making her feel lost. "Chen'er~ Take it away~"

"Why, Master, don't you like it?"

"do not like."

"Really? That disciple just won't take it away."

Zhao Yuchen became more and more aggressive and blocked her nostrils with the head of the artifact.

"Evil disciple~"

Gongsun Ningyu hummed softly, raised her chin slightly, took the artifact into her mouth, and at the same time hugged Zhao Yuchen's waist with both hands and launched a fierce attack.

"Ah~ Master... this is too intense... the artifact will break!" Zhao Yuchen didn't expect the python to attack suddenly, and he almost lost his soul.

The repeated entanglement and playfulness, coupled with the shielding of light and spiritual consciousness, made Gongsun Ningyu abandon her last bit of perseverance. In a rare moment of relaxation, she said, "You are the only one who is allowed to disrespect the teacher, and I am not allowed to punish you?"

"Master, your teaching is correct! Disciple... next time... next time I will definitely be more careful with my words and actions..." Zhao Yuchen felt that the power of the artifact was about to be squeezed out, and begged for mercy, "Please have mercy on me."

Gongsun Ningyu has entered the state of selflessness, so how could she let him go easily? Naturally, she would make further efforts, and finally squeeze out the divine liquid full of energy, and absorb it all without leaving a drop.

Zhao Yuchen retreated in panic, then fell on her lap.

This was not the end yet. Gongsun Ningyu sat up, pressed it under her body, and sat down facing the somewhat tired artifact.

"Master...what's wrong with you..." It was the first time that Zhao Yuchen saw Gongsun Ningyu act so crazy. Even Sheng Ying was a little inferior to her.

In the past, her expression was one of reluctance and aloofness. But now, it seemed to be driven by desire.

Was it because he had gone too far, or was it because her spiritual eyes were blindfolded that he let go completely?

Gongsun Ningyu's mouth, which had just swallowed the divine fluid, had already come forward. As their tongues battled against each other, they mumbled, "Aren't we going to start yet? Dual cultivation of divine thoughts..."

Zhao Yuchen felt dizzy from the kiss, and in a daze he urged his energy to enter Gongsun Ningyu's body and merge with her.

Gongsun Ningyu cooperated exceptionally well. In just a short moment, she was able to integrate her spiritual thoughts into the Qi, achieving a deep fusion.

The fusion of her spiritual thoughts with Zhao Yuchen was even faster than Gu Lingling's, and the matching was completed almost instantly.

Zhao Yuchen once again entered a mysterious realm. Unlike Gu Lingling's ethereal world, this one was filled with passionate clouds that enveloped the two of them. The bodies in the outside world were constantly in the tide of fusion.

Melted, completely melted!

The Dao brought by Gongsun Ningyu was wrapped in endless heat, giving a new understanding.

The master and disciple immersed themselves in it, allowing the training of their qi and spiritual thoughts to reach the extreme.

With a slight jolt of the body, the two severed their connection, and it felt as if they were in another world.

It turned out that several more hours had passed.

[Help Gongsun Ningyu improve her cultivation, filial piety value +10; favorability 403; total filial piety value 213]

Zhao Yuchen looked at Gongsun Ningyu, who was covered in filth, and his mind still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Gongsun Ningyu tore off the talisman, her vision and consciousness were released. She looked at the mess at the scene and felt a little surprised at her previous crazy behavior.

But when I think back on it, my body feels extremely satisfied, as if my soul has gained true freedom.

Just when she was about to say something, some disciples nearby were calling out to the Young Master and the Great Valley Master.

Zhao Yuchen got dressed first and walked out.

"Young Master! We've finally found you," the disciple reported. "There's a female cultivator named Huang Li, who claims to be from the Biling Immortal Garden, and wants to see you and the Great Valley Master."

Chapter 24: Particularly Fierce

Zhao Yuchen arrived at the living room first, where Huang Li was leisurely drinking tea.

She was wearing a white corseted dress and was still so pretty and charming. The moment she saw Zhao Yuchen, her beautiful eyes lit up and her smile blossomed.

Zhao Yuchen smiled back and said, "Sister Huang, I hope you are all right."

She nodded and said, "Since you left, Biling Fairy Garden has been run by Garden Master Huang Yu, and things have gradually stabilized. I, your sister, am still managing the original branch."

Zhao Yuchen recalled, "I remember my sister said that the branch of Biling Xianyuan in Xiaoyao City is also under your management. So what are you here for?"

She couldn't look Zhao Yuchen in the eye and kept her gaze outside the door. "First, I missed you after not seeing you for a long time, so I came to visit you. Second, I heard that Yin Yang Valley has settled in Xiaoyao City and has a great influence. They have also opened a market dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry. My branch sent me a message asking if I would like to open the store in the market to facilitate subsequent operations. I agreed on the spot. You are really something. You should directly inform Biling Xianyuan about this matter. We will definitely support you strongly."

Zhao Yuchen smiled and said, "I just think this is a trivial matter and don't want to trouble you. If you really want to open a branch store in the market, I will send someone to hand it over to you."

She nodded happily and continued, "I also heard that you had a conflict with the Medical Alliance?"

Zhao Yuchen briefly recounted the incident and shrugged, saying, "Simply avoiding them will only put Yin Yang Valley under their control, so we might as well just put up a brave fight."

Huang Li said solemnly, "Then you must be careful. While they're unlikely to start a war over the remote Xiaoyao City, there's a good chance they'll send one or two Hedao cultivators to punish you. If you really run into trouble, you can notify Biling Xianyuan. If the garden master is here, they'll be willing to show some respect."

What she said was similar to what Shen Suxin said, but as long as no Yuhua realm cultivators were sent over, they could still hold on under the protection of the derivative formation.

Zhao Yuchen nodded: "I will find you if I need anything."

"By the way, the owner of the garden also told me something specifically."

"please say."

"Are you planning to expand your spiritual vein conditioning business? We at Biling Xianyuan have branches in major cities across the south. Based on this, we can act as your agent for this business. You provide the technology and personnel, and we handle the management and operation. We'll share a certain percentage of the revenue."

Zhao Yuchen smiled and said, "To be honest, sister, we do want to move in this direction. Yin Yang Valley can't swallow up the entire continent's market on its own, so we will eventually expand through franchising and cooperation. Biling Fairy Garden has a huge influence in the south, and with you joining us, we will develop faster. However, we haven't officially settled down in Xiaoyao City yet, and we can't assign personnel. But we can finalize the details first, and when the time is right, we will start implementing it."

"Then I'll go back and make a report to the Garden Master, and I'll be the one to hand over the work to you later." Huang Li leaned forward and lowered his voice. "Finally, I have a piece of news to tell you, I don't know if it's useful or not. A month ago, the Yuzi Sect ordered the materials for refining the Ningdao Pill. This pill has two functions: one is to assist cultivators in advancing to the Hedao stage, and the other is to help Hedao cultivators recover from injuries. It was originally an industry secret, but Yinyang Valley has done us a favor, so I hope you'll be prepared."

Zhao Yuchen nodded solemnly, "Thank you! This information is very useful!"

Huang Li pretended to glance at Zhao Yuchen casually, "Then if my brother is not busy..."

Before she could finish her words, Gongsun Ningyu walked in.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Li couldn't help but be shocked by Gongsun Ningyu's cultivation level. In just over a month, she had already entered the ninth level of Return to Void.
