My filial piety will never change

Zhao Yuchen asked, "What did Sister Huang want to say just now?"

Huang Li looked at Gongsun Ningyu and smiled, "I was thinking, if you're not busy, you can come to Biling Fairy Garden as a guest. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. See you later."

The master and disciple watched Huang Li leave. Zhao Yuchen sighed, "If Biling Xianyuan could directly help us take Xiaoyao City, it would save us a lot of trouble."

Gongsun Ningyu said calmly, "They are ultimately in business, so they can only intervene to mediate. If they directly participate in regional struggles, how will they survive in the industry in the future?"

"Ha, that's right. It's still early, I should go back and regulate my breathing and digestion." Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Zhao Yuchen pinched her buttocks and then left casually, causing Gongsun Ningyu's pretty face to blush.

...

After regulating his breathing, Zhao Yuchen felt that he was only a little bit away from entering the state of harmony. If the dual cultivation with his second master went smoothly tomorrow, there shouldn't be any problem.

It was already late at night, and he planned to continue recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's 'battle'.

But Shen Suxin quietly slipped into his room, almost frightening him to death, "Sister, why are you sneaking around?"

Shen Suxin's beautiful eyes flickered in the darkness, and she stepped forward and asked, "Have you been busy these past two days?"

Zhao Yuchen took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her slender waist. "Didn't Sister say that I should use the Yin-Yang Dafa that I'm focusing on to raise my cultivation to the Hedao realm? So I've been discussing this with the masters these past two days. I'm so sorry for neglecting you."

As he spoke, his little hand gently stroked her dantian.

Shen Suxin said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm not the kind of petty person. It's okay if I don't practice sword for a few days. But I received a message from my senior sister today. She and my senior brother are in trouble and need my help. I'm just a little bit away from the second level of Hedao. I hope to improve my realm before I set off."

Zhao Yuchen said solemnly: "What's the trouble? Do you need help?"

Shen Suxin was relieved at first, then glanced and said, "This is our own business. You don't even have the ability to combine with the Dao, so you can't help. If you can save your own life before I come back, it will be a great help."

"Then sister, you must bring the communication stone and contact us at any time. Oh, and don't forget the teleportation scroll."

"Yeah." Shen Suxin was already extremely excited. She pulled Zhao Yuchen into the deserted forest and reached out to grab the artifact. "Come on!"

Another dragon and phoenix entanglement...

...

The next morning, Shen Suxin packed up and set off. The communication stone she brought with her was a trial product for the spiritual base project. It could only be used for text transmission, but it was enough.

Last night, her cultivation had reached the second level of Hedao. Coupled with her own good foundation, it was not difficult for her to kill a third level Hedao cultivator. She could even put up a fight against a fourth level Hedao cultivator.

The one staying at Yin Yang Peak today is Sheng Ying.

Zhao Yuchen impatiently pulled her to the cave spirit pool.

The reason for being so anxious is that Shen Suxin's brief departure has greatly reduced the security of Yin Yang Valley, and someone must enter the Hedao realm as soon as possible.

...

"Ah! Little boy~ You are particularly cruel today! Do you want to kill me?" Sheng Ying's hands were tied and she was forced to lie on the edge of the pool with her buttocks raised for support.

Each attack of the divine weapon was powerful, opening the heart of the flower and thrusting into the divine palace. Even the torture-loving Saint Oriole could hardly bear it. Her mouth was oozing, her eyes rolled up, and she was almost fainting.

But Zhao Yuchen showed no mercy, and the more the divine weapon fought, the more courageous it became. At the same time, he lashed at Shengying's jade back fiercely, "Second Master, time is running out, please bear with it for a while!"

Chapter 25 Breakthrough! The First Level of Hedao!

In the spirit pool of the cave, Shengying's excitement at the beginning turned into a weak and indistinct voice, because her consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

The divine fluid released in turn by the divine weapons almost filled her temple, and even her lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

It was not until now that Zhao Yuchen officially merged with her qi and spiritual consciousness.

Zhao Yuchen developed a dual cultivation plan based on her characteristics. Shengying, in this state of ecstasy, was actually more able to stimulate the coordination of her divine consciousness. This was her characteristic.

The master and disciple entered that wonderful world.

The world of the Holy Oriole is very empty, without any color, and even the feeling of cold and heat cannot be felt.

She is such a smart and colorful person, but her spiritual world is so empty.

As the romance progressed, the world began to feel a little warmer.

The bodies in the outside world also reached their peak. The divine palace could no longer hold so much divine liquid, and it could only be squeezed out and splashed out continuously during the friction and training of the divine weapon. Coupled with the valley where the honey springs were surging, it was like a turbid rain.

This training session was the longest one Zhao Yuchen had ever experienced, and he did not stop from morning until midnight.

He also didn't know where the problem lay. Was it that he needed to accumulate more insights to enter the Hedao, or was it that Shengying was just being too greedy for pleasure and unwilling to let go?

During this time, Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling both came back. They also saw this scene. They were thirsty and did not dare to step forward to disturb them.

...

Time flew by and it was morning again. Zhao Yuchen and Sheng Ying were still lost in that wonderful world. However, the tides in their bodies had stopped. Now it was simply a fusion of their spiritual thoughts, and the flow of Qi had also stopped.

The situation was a bit strange, and Gongsun Ningyu decided that if they didn't wake up by noon, she would intervene forcibly.

...

But before noon, the situation in Xiaoyao City had changed.

Gui Yuzhen, the young master of Guimu Mountain, came personally to report that his father, Gui Wen, had been attacked by an unknown individual while returning to Guimu Mountain from work the previous night. The individual was at least a cultivator of the First Level of the Hedao Realm. If it weren't for the support of the sect's top-tier magical weapons, he would have perished instantly.

In the end, Gui Wen managed to escape, but at the cost of severe injuries and a significant reduction in his cultivation. He is now in a coma. He hopes that Yin Yang Valley can help treat him.

Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling looked at each other and both realized the seriousness of the problem.

After being injured by Shen Suxin, Happy Taoist of Xiaoyao City announced his retirement, and Bai Langzi who was hiding in Lingmu Sect was also killed.

There shouldn't be any Hedao cultivators in Xiaoyao City right now.

So what is the origin of this Hedao cultivator, and why did he specifically target the master of Strange Tomb Mountain?

"This may be the reason why Yuzimen has been so low-key recently." Zhao Yuchen walked out with a radiant look.

This made Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he woke up on his own, otherwise, who knows what would have happened if outside intervention had occurred.

For some reason, Gui Yuzhen's nervous heart calmed down a little after seeing Zhao Yuchen, and he asked, "Is this related to the Yuzi Sect?"

Zhao Yuchen repeated the information Huang Li had provided and continued, "The Yuzi Sect has been so quiet lately, waiting for this Hedao cultivator to come out of seclusion. Regardless of who he is, when he attacked the mountain master, he had already begun to implement his plan. Because of the existence of the Demonic Woman, they didn't dare to attack us directly, so they started with our ally, Guimu Mountain. But this is only part of the plan. Next, they want to get rid of me."

The three women were all shocked.

"The kid's guess is very likely." Sheng Ying came over dressed smartly, the blush on her face had not completely faded, adding a touch of spring to her charming temperament.

Then she said quietly, "The reason why we in Yin Yang Valley have been able to make it this far is thanks to the little ghost's miraculous healing techniques. No matter how serious the injury, it can be healed, and the speed of cultivation is as fast as lightning. In just a short period of time, we have leapt from the bottom of the ants to the giants of Xiaoyao City. Who wouldn't be terrified by this? The Yu Zi Sect clearly realizes that if they don't eliminate the little ghost, Yin Yang Valley will sooner or later devour Xiaoyao City. However, due to our overall strength, they have to wait until a He Dao cultivator is in place before they dare to take action. Therefore, they continue to show goodwill to maintain stability."

Gui Yuzhen said: "Then why didn't they take action before you defeated Ling Muzong?"

Gongsun Ningyu had recovered by now, understanding the events of the incident. She said calmly, "At that time, they probably didn't have this plan. They simply wanted to use us to consume the Lingmu Sect and reap the benefits. But we directly dealt a heavy blow to the Lingmu Sect and even suppressed Ling Baoguo. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the situation. After taking on the Lingmu Sect, they changed their usual behavior and maintained stability and sought peace, so that this Hedao cultivator could come out of seclusion and stabilize the world."

Gui Yuzhen still had doubts: "If we attack my father, wouldn't that alert the enemy? He could just lie low and wait for Yu Chen to leave Yinyang Peak."

Shengying answered for them, "Because they know that Yin Yang Valley's strength is growing day by day. If they delay for another ten days or half a month, they're afraid that something unexpected will happen again, so they're taking a risk."

Gu Lingling also had a flash of inspiration and said, "Then the mountain master didn't escape by luck last night, but was deliberately let go in order to let Yu Zhen come for help and force Xiao Yuchen to help. Then he could intercept and kill him on the way."

Gui Yuzhen suddenly realized, "That makes sense. Father's injuries are all in his spiritual veins, with very little damage to his internal organs. What should we do now?"

Sheng Ying narrowed her eyes and said, "Our advantage lies in the fact that the other side doesn't know our hidden cards. Take two teleportation scrolls back and teleport your father here. The little ghost will heal him. And then, after two or three days, the situation will completely change."

Gui Yuzhen was puzzled and asked, "Why not just let the Demonic Woman take action?"

To appease her, Zhao Yuchen said, "If they dare to covet my life, they must also be able to deal with the demon girl. We can take a few days to make all the necessary preparations. What you need to do now is to send your father here for me to treat him. Don't worry about the rest."

Gui Yuzhen's eyes were filled with sincerity, and he nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Gui Yuzhen left with two teleportation scrolls.

The four masters and apprentices sat at separate tables as if they were in sync with each other.

Gu Lingling patted her chest and said, "Xiao Yuchen, what's going on between you and Second Senior Sister? I almost thought you would die in her belly."

Zhao Yuchen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, it's hard to escape once you enter this state. Perhaps Second Master can give you an explanation."

Sheng Ying said resentfully, "According to others' explanation, the fusion of our spiritual thoughts and dual cultivation makes me unable to stop, so I can't bear to let you go."

"Let's solve the current problem first." Gongsun Ningyu said that the Yuzimen issue needed to be properly handled.

Zhao Yuchen said, "After practicing dual cultivation with Second Master, I will surely enter the Hedao realm today. In the next two or three days, I will also help the other masters to enter the Hedao realm as well. By then, with four Hedao cultivators in charge, no matter how fancy the Yuzi Sect's tactics are, they will suffer a major setback."

After practicing with Shengying, the total filial piety value reached 223; Shengying's favorability was 374.

After a few more rounds of dual cultivation, not only will the masters be able to reach the state of harmony with the Dao, but their filial piety values ​​will also increase a lot, and the minimum guarantee measures will be increased.

After a brief discussion, Zhao Yuchen returned to his room and began to absorb the spirit stones and pills, rushing towards Hedao.

Near noon, the tiger's body shook, and it felt that the world had a new glow, and the realm of its soul had risen to a higher level.

Breakthrough! The first level of harmony!

Chapter 26: Diligent Practice

When Zhao Yuchen came out of the room, Gui Yuzhen had been waiting there with his old father for a long time.

Under her eager gaze, Zhao Yuchen walked to Gui Wen and first observed his condition with the Eye of Insight.

He noticed that the opponent's attacks were very measured. Almost every blow was near a key acupoint, but it also barely left a sliver of room for movement, allowing Gui Wen to have the strength to escape. However, once this sliver of strength was used up, the injury would instantly worsen, the spiritual energy would be completely blocked, and he would enter a near-death state, making the situation critical.

Gui Wen is a cultivator of the ninth level of Huanxu who has been famous for many years, and he is also protected by the magical instruments passed down by the sect. If the other party is a cultivator who has just broken through to the Hedao realm, he would not be able to control his injuries so accurately.

Then the other party is very likely to be a veteran of Hedao, or even a second-level Hedao expert.

Without time to think, Zhao Yuchen directly injected the yin and yang energies into it and began to recuperate and repair Gui Wen's injuries.

Now, his cultivation has reached the first level of Hedao, and it would be much easier for him to treat a cultivator whose realm is lower than his. After two quarters of an hour, Gui Wen's complexion improved greatly and he opened his eyes.

Gui Yuzhen was quite excited, "Father! How do you feel?"

Gui Wen glanced at the surroundings and Zhao Yuchen, and said weakly: "I feel pretty good now. Thank you...Brother Zhao."

Zhao Yuchen nodded slightly: "The mountain master's injury is only temporarily stabilized. He will need several rounds of conditioning in the future before he can circulate his spiritual power on his own. With the help of spiritual herbs and pills, he will be able to recover within half a month."

If the several masters were injured like this, they would be able to recover within two days. However, the cultivation method practiced by outsiders is very different from the Yin-Yang Dharma, so it is amazing that such an effect can be achieved.

Gui Yuzhen looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if she was going to pledge herself to him the next moment, "Thanks to you this time, Yuchen..."

Zhao Yuchen couldn't stand her gaze and changed the subject, "To conceal our presence, you and your daughter will temporarily stay at Yinyang Peak for the next few days until the masters and I take care of the murderer."

Gui Wen asked worriedly, "Can we really deal with this person?"

Zhao Yuchen first shared Huang Li's information and his own speculations, then said, "Mountain Master, please first tell us in detail what happened during the battle with this person last night, and we will formulate a plan."

Gui Wen recounted the story in detail and continued, "I can conclude that this person is definitely not the Happy Taoist. It's someone else."

"As far as the Mountain Master knows, is there anyone in the Yuzi Sect who can enter the Hedao realm within this time?"

"The strongest person in Yuzi Sect is Sect Leader Hua Modao. Like me, he's been stuck at the ninth level of Huanxu for a long time. His ceiling is almost here. Forget about the others. Perhaps he's recruited another Hedao cultivator."

Zhao Yuchen pondered for a moment, "We will make a decision. You guys take a rest. I will come back tomorrow to help you recover."

After saying this, Zhao Yuchen walked out of the door.

"Yu Chen." Gui Yuzhen followed closely behind and called softly.

Zhao Yuchen turned around and saw that the wild young master had spring water in his eyes and a slightly red face.

"Any thing else?"

Gui Yuzhen looked around and quietly stepped forward. "You haven't come to see me since we parted at the Yin Yang Peak opening ceremony... I wanted to come to you, but I just don't see why."

Zhao Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm busy practicing all day and really don't have time, but Yuzhen, you can come to me anytime. We are friends, do you need a reason to come to me?"

Gui Yuzhen smiled and said, "As long as you are not afraid of being disturbed by me, I will definitely come often..."

The atmosphere calmed down, and Zhao Yuchen asked sarcastically, "Have the aftereffects of your love poison improved?"

Gui Yuzhen smiled and then lowered his head shyly, "It's a little better, but not much... If you have time, can you help me again?"

Her shy and delicate appearance was so beautiful that Zhao Yuchen could only smile awkwardly and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish dealing with the current matter. You should take good care of the mountain master first."

"Ah."

...

Nearing dusk, Zhao Yuchen, Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling took off their clothes and stepped into the spirit pool.

Zhao Yuchen planned to try the three-person practice of blending their spiritual thoughts together. If that worked, he would move on to a four-person practice, completely returning to their previous efficiency level.

Both masters have merged their spiritual thoughts with Zhao Yuchen, and their attributes are relatively similar. With Zhao Yuchen making adjustments in the middle, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But before that, you still have to get into the state.

"Xiao Yuchen~ Is that so? How embarrassing... Senior Sister, please stop staring at me!"
