"How can we let them know about this!"
As he spoke, his tone grew increasingly urgent. Looking at Yun Chu'an, he couldn't help but urge him repeatedly, "Just tell me, can you handle this?"
Yun Chu'an withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly: "Yes, of course I can do it. But, Second Brother, could you also do me a small favor?"
Diao De'er's eyes lit up: "Tell me, tell me!"
Yun Chuan said, "Second brother, to be honest, I've recently discovered that my skills in offensive techniques are too low. If we encounter danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat a strong enemy and protect my family."
"I've recently been studying magic in this area, and coincidentally, I've found the Huang Mang family's giant transformation technique to be quite remarkable, so..."
He tentatively asked, "Could I also have the honor of learning a thing or two?"
He said that in recent days, he has not only been arranging the evacuation of the field mouse family members, but also studying his new method.
After studying it, he had to admit that the petrification technique "Azure Dark Rock" did indeed have few accompanying spells, and to unleash its full power, he would probably have to rely on brute force.
Using it in conjunction with the Giant Transformation Technique should be quite effective. And as it stands, the Giant Transformation Technique of the Yellow Python Clan should be the most effective transformation spell he has access to, which is why he asked this question.
Diao De'er looked troubled, but after thinking about it, he realized that the Huang Mang family might not even be able to get past this hurdle, so it seemed absurd and ridiculous for him to talk about some "secret that is not passed down".
What's more, he needed the "Mickey Brothers" to help him escape. If he lost his life, everything would be over. So, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Alright! I happen to have the secret manual on me. Brother, look, this is it!"
He took out a booklet and handed it to Yun Chu'an, who took it, glanced at it briefly, and found that it was indeed what he wanted. He immediately smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Second Brother. Where are Second Brother and Fourth Brother now? Come with me, I will arrange for your evacuation."
Diao De'er was overjoyed. The two then discussed the details of their departure for a while. Afterward, the former turned and left to pick up his fourth brother. They mingled into the crowd of field mice and retreated together under the cover of night.
The field mice and the two Diao brothers walked all night and arrived safely on a small hill near Huai Mountain. They settled down there and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Chu'an warned them that this was not their original place, and that things were tense lately, so it was best not to go anywhere and to be careful. The two Diao brothers were now living under someone else's roof, so they dared not say anything and repeatedly agreed. Thus, they settled in and had no further worries.
After settling the two pythons, Yun Chuan returned to his mountaintop, took out the spell given to him by Diao De'er, and studied it carefully.
The next day, early in the morning, as the sun gradually rose in the east, he had already memorized most of the contents of the manual. Then, on the mountaintop, he chanted incantations, circulated his spiritual power, and experimented with making his body grow larger, turning him into a giant.
As he expected, the Yellow Python Clan's giant-enlarging spell was more advanced. If mastered to its fullest extent, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could enlarge their body to a height of 100 meters.
Unlike the enlargement spells used by other demon cultivators, some of which might enlarge someone to a maximum of twenty or thirty meters.
Having witnessed firsthand the effects of the pythons using this spell, he treasured it as if it were a priceless gem, and immediately began practicing it upon receiving it.
At the mountaintop, his body kept growing larger and smaller, sometimes more than ten meters tall, sometimes only two or three meters tall, in an endless cycle, but each time, it made his skills more proficient.
"call……"
As the sun approached noon, Yun Chuan, whose spiritual energy was almost depleted, let out a long breath. He was about to sit down cross-legged and meditate for a while to recover his spiritual energy before continuing his practice.
But at that moment, a brilliant flash of fire flickered behind him for a moment, followed by a sudden gust of wind.
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, and he looked up into the distance, where he saw Yan Shuiyi, dressed smartly, suddenly arrive on her sword and gracefully land in front of him, her body carrying a faint fragrance.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him, her crimson lips curved in a smile, and she continued, "Chu An, you looked so cool practicing the Giant Transformation Technique just now. Would you like to become my Daoist partner?"
Yun Chu'an immediately understood what was going on, and her voice was full of helplessness: "Fifth Sister! Stop fooling around, I'm cultivating!"
A flash of dazzling firelight surrounded him, and the shy and adoring Yan Shui in front of him instantly vanished, transforming into a familiar girl with pigtails and wearing a fiery red dress. It was none other than Hua Caiyan.
The girl stared at him with wide eyes, somewhat puzzled: "I felt my magic was perfectly disguised, how could you tell it was fake?"
Yun Chu'an looked helpless: "Acting skills! Don't you think about it carefully? Is that how Yan Shuiyi usually talks?"
He tried to persuade her earnestly, but Hua Caiyan's attention was completely elsewhere: "Really? Wow, Yun Chuan, I didn't even realize it, you sound so familiar with the way Yan Shui Yi speaks..."
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, looking him up and down with a pointed remark.
Yun Chu'an reached out and gently patted her head: "Of course I have to study her. How can I know how to deal with her if I don't study her? You have to study her too, especially if you want to impersonate her."
Chapter 448 Don't pity me just because my cultivation level is low!
Hua Caiyan pouted and looked at him: "Then tell me, how should I speak to disguise myself as Yan Shuiyi?"
Yun Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try not to speak? Although you might not be able to hide it from me, in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Shui has always been aloof and cold, unapproachable person. If you pretend like this, you should be able to fool most people."
"I really don't know. Just think about Fourth Sister. How she usually speaks when she's serious. Just imitate her, and you can almost perfectly mimic Yan Shuiyi."
Hua Caiyan said sourly, "You really know Yan Shuiyi so well. You must have spent a lot of time with her in private, right?"
Yun Chu'an reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "I'm teaching you how to imitate her, where did your focus wander off to?"
Hua Caiyan didn't resist, letting him pinch her, and mumbled incoherently, "I was just praising you, praising your keen observation, boohoo, then I'll go find Fourth Sister and tell her that her way of speaking is very similar to Yan Shuiyi's, and ask her to say a few more words so I can learn from her..."
She mumbled a reply, and upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an's face fell again: "If you have nothing to do, don't bother Fourth Sister. She probably isn't feeling very well lately."
As he spoke, he seemed somewhat disheartened, withdrew his hands, and stopped pinching her round little face.
Hua Caiyan took his hand and blinked, "What's wrong? What happened to her?"
Yun Chuan turned his head away. He didn't want to tell Hua Caiyan about You Wensi's matter. With the playful little fox's personality, she was likely to let something slip: "Well, it's not good. Don't ask anymore. It should be fine in a few days."
Hua Caiyan's eyes darted around: "I have a guess, Chu'an, how long has it been since you and Fourth Sister cultivated together?"
Yun Chu'an stiffened: "Uh...it shouldn't be related to this..."
Hua Caiyan lifted her foot and lightly stepped on him: "I knew it! How can it not matter? Sigh, what have you been up to lately? Do you have someone else on the side, and now you're complaining that the flowers at home don't smell good anymore?"
Yun Chu'an felt even more guilty, after all, he had recently been obsessed with training You Wensi: "No..."
"Your eyes are clearly hiding something!" Hua Caiyan muttered. "So, it's been a long time since you consummated your marriage with her?"
Yun Chu'an explained in a low voice, "I've been breaking through a bit too quickly lately, and some of my spiritual energy is starting to get a little out of control. I'm also afraid of hurting you, uh..."
Hua Caiyan pinched him hard, making him wince in pain. Before he could say anything, the little fox suddenly leaped up and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground: "Don't show me any mercy just because my cultivation is lower than yours, come at me!"
"You still don't understand what I mean? Think about it carefully, how long has it been since we consummated our marriage? Come on!"
She muttered to herself, her tone thick with resentment that Yun Chu'an couldn't ignore. He snapped out of his daze, looking at the little fox's resentful face, and felt a pang of guilt. He hugged her tightly, saying, "You said it yourself."
As he spoke, he suddenly flipped over, pinning the girl beneath him, and reached out to tear open her clothes.
Then came a passionate and exhilarating lovemaking session.
After releasing himself inside her, the vixen curled up in Yun Chu'an's arms, her eyes alluring, her body glistening with sweat, a smile playing on her lips, her whole being radiating intense satisfaction.
“That’s more like it.” She wrapped her delicate arms around Yun Chu’an’s neck, rested her head against his chest, breathed softly, and didn’t forget to give him some bad advice, “Chu’an, let me tell you, you should be like this, a little more domineering…”
"If your fourth sister gets angry with you, don't say anything. Suddenly go up to her, pin her down on the bed, and give her a torrent of sex. Once she's satisfied, she'll be completely obedient to you..."
Her offering of such terrible advice clearly showed she was looking for trouble. Yun Chu'an looked helpless, reached out and pinched her cheek, and said, "What if she doesn't want to and gets even angrier?"
Hua Caiyan said with great interest: "That means you didn't use enough strength; you haven't conquered her yet!"
Yun Chu'an rolled his eyes: "If I believed you, it would only escalate the conflict."
Hua Caiyan reached out and climbed onto his shoulder: "Hey, you believe me, I won't lie to you."
"Anyway, my fourth sister and I have long been your women. I can guess what she's thinking. Sometimes it's actually quite interesting when you're a little domineering. It's really boring to always be so polite to each other."
She muttered to herself, and what she said only made Yun Chu'an more suspicious: "Really? I don't believe it at all."
Hua Caiyan pouted: "How about I accompany you to Fourth Sister's cave to investigate?"
Yun Chu'an wanted to see her humiliated in front of Zhu Yunqing, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, then go over there. You speak, and I'll observe."
The two hit it off immediately, got up, changed their clothes, and used their shrinking-earth-to-inch technique to travel to Zhu Yunqing's cave.
Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed. When they arrived at Zhu Yunqing's cave, they discovered that she wasn't there at all.
Where did she go?
The two were unsure what to do, but there was nothing they could do, so they returned dejectedly. Yun Chu'an sent Hua Caiyan off to cultivate, while he himself returned to the mountaintop to continue practicing his new spell.
Meanwhile, on the opposite bank of Wei Lake, at the Qingyun Sect's headquarters.
Yan Shuiyi was practicing swordsmanship to change her mood.
Recently, she has been researching and practicing how to use the Soul-Trapping Mirror. After several days of experimentation, she has gained a deeper understanding of this magical artifact and is now studying how to use it to selectively modify the souls of small animals.
Infuse it with positive qualities or transmit negative emotions to it in order to correct its soul to the degree you desire.
Once she has mastered the technique, she will be able to use the Soul-Binding Mirror on herself and see her true self.
Unfortunately, she wasn't fully prepared to use this magical artifact on herself as an experiment.
She needed to calm her mind by practicing swordsmanship. In the steady swordsmanship, she felt her heart becoming more peaceful.
She was practicing diligently when a figure suddenly rushed in from outside. It was Dongfang Yue: "Senior sister, Yun Chuan'an's fourth sister has arrived. She says she has something to ask you."
Yan Shui sheathed her sword and turned to look outside: "Who's there?"
But then she realized: "Zhu Yunqing?"
Dongfang Yue nodded: "Yes, it's her. It seems that she manages all the affairs, big and small, of the Huai Shan family."
For a moment, Yan Shui hesitated. Although she knew of Zhu Yunqing's existence, she wasn't very familiar with him and hadn't interacted with him many times.
The other party's sudden appearance puzzled her: what could they possibly want?
"Please let her in," she said, then put away her magical artifact and stood up to go outside.
On ordinary days, many people actually plan to visit her and try to get close to her under various pretexts, but most of them are stopped by Dongfang Yue, and no one gets to see her true face.
But today, considering that the other party is Yun Chu'an's sister, she agreed to meet her. Otherwise, Dongfang Yue would have simply sent her away.
Dongfang Yue did not delay, turned around and went outside to invite Zhu Yunqing in.
But then, the girl turned away to do her own thing. In this quiet courtyard, only Zhu Yunqing and Yan Shui remained, gazing at each other.
Yan Shui looked at the woman in front of her. She was not dressed extravagantly, and her hair, which was tied up, was not decorated with many precious hairpins. Her face was simply made up with tear stains. Combined with her slightly anxious eyes and expression, it made people feel sorry for her.
As the host, Yan Shuiyi did not delay and invited Zhu Yunqing to sit down in the room. She then poured her a cup of tea. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhu Yunqing took out a frozen Jade Lotus Elixir from her storage bag and handed it to her: "I am delighted to hear that Fairy Yan Shuiyi has broken through to the Golden Core stage. This small gift is just a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
The Jade Lotus Elixir is not very effective for Golden Core cultivators, but it is considered an extremely precious treasure for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
In short, it can invigorate a cultivator's muscles, bones, and flesh, clear away hidden injuries, inject vitality, and make the cultivator live longer. Even young cultivators who take it can feel themselves suddenly becoming more energetic and their spiritual power flowing more smoothly.
Chapter 449 Yan Shui Yi Yao's Goat Milk?
However, the Jade Lotus Elixir is extremely prone to spoilage and very difficult to preserve, so it is almost always made and consumed immediately, which is extremely troublesome.
Zhu Yunqing had put in a lot of effort to have the Nalan family refine this pill, and then asked Nie Ningshuang to seal it properly. Only today was the pill successfully placed in front of Yan Shui.
Yan Shui's eyes flickered slightly. She expressed her gratitude, reached out to take the item, but did not put it into her storage bag. Instead, she placed it on the table next to her.
Then, she got straight to the point: "What is it, sister? Please speak freely. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
She said this and then sat down in front of Zhu Yunqing. She and Yun Chuan were friends, and she wasn't that old. Since Yun Chuan was her brother-in-law, it wouldn't hurt for her to call him "sister".
As she looked at Zhu Yunqing, the latter was also observing her, sensing the profound and unfathomable cultivation around her. Looking at her simple and elegant yet ethereal attire, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the woman in front of her was truly like a celestial being descended from heaven.
No wonder that in addition to admiring her abilities, people are also captivated by her beauty.
Without further ado, she immediately said, "Fairy Yanshui has keen insight. I have indeed come here to ask for your help."
"I wonder if the Qingyun Sect has any secret methods for nourishing the spirit and calming the mind? Recently, someone in my family has been troubled by evil thoughts, and is constantly troubled day and night. As the elder sister, I am very worried, but I am powerless to help. So I have come to ask for your help."
Yan Shui's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Who is being troubled by evil thoughts?"
Zhu Yunqing weighed the options for a moment and said, "It is Yun Chuan. He obtained a pill by chance before, and after taking it, he successfully broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
"However, ever since then, he has been anxious and unpredictable, causing complaints throughout the house. I have no way to deal with him, so I came to ask if the Qingyun Sect has any experience in resolving this matter."
Yan Shui lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... a demon in my heart?"
Zhu Yunqing also stood up, reached out and took her hand, and sat down together. He continued, "I also have my suspicions, but it doesn't seem like it. It seems to be just a side effect of the pill. However, I don't understand pharmacology, so I really don't know how to deal with his condition. That's why I came to ask for your help."
She looked at Yan Shuiyi with expectant eyes, hoping she could give her a reliable answer.
However, Yan Shui then said, "Since you say so, there's nothing I can do. Although the Qingyun Sect has a vast collection of books, I only know swordsmanship and not medicine..."
Zhu Yunqing immediately looked disappointed, but then Yan Shuiyi said, "Unfortunately, I happen to have a magic weapon on hand right now. Perhaps I can observe the state of his soul first and confirm whether he is possessed by a demon or is just feeling unwell due to the side effects of the drug, which is causing his restlessness."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunqing's eyes lit up: "What kind of magic weapon is it?"
Without delay, Yan Shui immediately took out the magical artifact she had been researching these past few days, the Soul-Binding Mirror.
“It’s this,” she said. “It can draw a person’s soul out of their body, and then we can observe the composition and state of their soul, thereby judging their mental state and whether it is a demon in their heart.”
"Even if the situation is relatively mild, I can use some methods to directly eliminate the negative emotions that are bothering him and allow his mind to return to peace."
Zhu Yunqing's expression changed drastically: "This... isn't this a bit too dangerous? To directly operate on the soul..."
Yan Shui nodded: "There is indeed a certain degree of danger, just like an ordinary doctor trying to open a person's head to perform surgery without any magical powers."
Zhu Yunqing's heart pounded: "...The mortal who is to be affected by the spell will certainly not agree."
