Banshee Family Training Record

Page 194

Watching the disheveled figure of the Golden Core Serpent, You Wensi did not give chase, but her eyes grew increasingly disdainful: "Heh, just a few beasts!"

Even though she herself was just a locust tree spirit, her most accepted identity was that of a "disciple of the Corpse Driving Sect," and she held the most contempt for demon cultivators like Huang Mang.

They are just powerful demons created with massive amounts of resources, and most of them are physical cultivators who don't even know any magic, making them the easiest to control.

She also looked down on him the most.

The invading snake demons fled in disarray, and the invasion came to an abrupt end. Yun Chu'an breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was protected by the cold air around him, he had still taken several blows, and now there were obvious wounds on his body.

If he were to be attacked a few more times, he might not be able to withstand it and would have no choice but to use his true skills to kill them all.

Fortunately, things didn't turn out that badly after all; these demon cultivators all escaped with their lives. Congratulations!

He felt fortunate and looked up to see You Wensi slowly descending back to the ground. Her gaze swept over the three of them before finally settling on him.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on his body, looking him up and down as if she were admiring a delicious dish on a table, which sent chills down Yun Chuan's spine.

After scrutinizing him for a moment, the woman looked away, nodded slightly, and uttered two words: "Not bad."

After speaking, she deliberately turned her head to look at Nie Ningshuang and Zhu Yunqing, and nodded slightly: "You both performed well in today's battle. Hard work always pays off. Although I dare not say that you are very strong, you should have no problem dealing with these wild mountain demons."

Nie Ningshuang's face flushed. The innocent girl was overjoyed by such verbal praise: "Hehe, thank you, Patriarch! Actually, I didn't do much; they were the ones fighting in front..."

She chuckled, thoroughly amused. Beside her, Zhu Yunqing frowned, looking worried: "What happened today is probably not an isolated incident. The python and the bull demon, as well as the conflict with the Jin Kingdom, are escalating. There's probably not much room for us to remain neutral in these mountains; similar harassment will definitely increase."

"Those who do not submit will be destroyed. We should also choose a side as soon as possible to ensure our safety."

She was worried, then turned to look at Yun Chu'an, who was now her true pillar of support.

Yun Chu'an didn't rush to say anything, pondering and frowning without speaking. You Wensi, however, wasn't worried much and said directly, "What's there to be afraid of? Although the Huang Mang family is powerful, how many Golden Core cultivators would they send specifically to our family?"

"I wouldn't say I could kill every single one of these ordinary Golden Core demon cultivators I see, but as long as they dare to come, I can make them suffer a bit and then escape."

She spoke with confidence, her face held high as if she were radiant, but in her heart she felt a sense of shame: to have fallen so low as to not even be able to kill such a demon cultivator on a whim, it was truly a disgrace!

Fortunately, I'll be back to my peak condition soon...

She glanced at Yun Chu'an beside her out of the corner of her eye, which sent chills down his spine and gave him goosebumps. He felt as if he were being watched by some venomous snake.

Nie Ningshuang completely failed to grasp his emotions. Upon hearing You Wensi's words, she excitedly cheered, "Yay—Long live the Patriarch!"

Chapter 414 Late at Night, My Mother-in-Law's Invitation

Zhu Yunqing's worried expression eased a little. She nodded gently and said, "Yes, that's good. With the patriarch here, our family is safe for the time being."

But then she added, "Even so, we need to make plans early and hope to be absolutely certain of success. Chu'an, do you have any ideas?"

Yun Chu'an snapped out of his reverie and continued, "Yes! I think our best option is to unite with other people and other families to create a greater momentum, letting them know that we are not to be trifled with, and then declare neutrality and not get involved in the conflict between the snake demons and the black bulls..."

"Scare them off, make them too afraid to make a move in the first place, that way we can minimize our losses..."

He spoke eloquently, presenting his plan. You Wensi turned to look at him, her gaze filled with admiration, but when she thought about what she was about to do, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

It's a pity that such a talented person cannot be used by me.

After all, his spiritual root is just too tempting...

She looked away with some regret, lowered her head, and said softly, "Just do as Yun Chuan said. Yun Qing, Ning Shuang, just do as he arranged for now. We can talk about the rest later."

She said, turning to leave, "I have things to do, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, her body transformed into a blur and flew away. Nie Ningshuang maintained a smile throughout, and only after You Wensi had gone far away did she turn around and look at Yun Chuan with great interest: "Chuan, you were amazing just now! Wow, several demon cultivators whose cultivation was a level higher than yours attacked you, and you were able to fight them off on equal terms!"

"Wow, I can't even imagine, are you capable of that... being invincible among your peers?"

Her large eyes sparkled, and her light pink hair trembled with her movements. Yun Chu'an slowly snapped out of his worry, thinking to himself, "What do you mean by invincible among those of the same level? If I weren't worried about exposing my secret weapon against You Wensi, I would have slaughtered all these demon cultivators long ago."

He then forced a smile and said, "Oh, Third Sister, you're joking. Today, I'm really grateful for your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the courage to even engage in close combat with them from the very beginning."

His praise made Nie Ningshuang burst into laughter: "Oh dear, I'm not that amazing... although my cultivation is indeed a little higher than yours, hehe..."

As she smiled, Zhu Yunqing, seeing her relaxed smile, was also infected and couldn't help but smile back, her mood naturally becoming a little more cheerful.

But she quickly suppressed her joyful feelings, took Yun Chuan'an's arm, and said, "Let's move over and discuss in detail what we should do next and finalize the details."

Yun Chu'an snapped out of his daze and nodded, but his deepest worry was still the look in You Wensi's eyes just now.

My cultivation level is improving day by day. She probably has no chance of waiting until my cultivation level surpasses hers before making a move. That would be too risky.

It should be soon, at the latest, after I break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage...

What time will You Wensi choose?

He wasn't sure, but he could sense that the moment of their decisive battle was fast approaching.

Meanwhile, You Wensi left, but instead of returning to her usual place to cultivate, she went straight to her secret base, the Corpse-Raising Valley that she had meticulously created.

This deep canyon is lined with locust trees, blocking out the sun and filled with a chilling aura that sends shivers down one's spine. Even though there are no living creatures inside, ordinary people cannot venture through it. The chilling aura alone is enough to take a person's life, turning a perfectly healthy person into a zombie!

At this moment, You Wensi landed here, reached out to sense the Yin spiritual power inside, closed her eyes, and then nodded gently.

Yes, the spirits are plentiful, the environment is ready, and it can be activated at any time.

only……

Should we really kill him now?

Mid-Foundation Establishment is sufficient, but if we wait until late Foundation Establishment to seize his spiritual root, the benefits will be greater.

Although the risks are greater, but... um...

Her delicate brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, she wavered for a moment, but finally made up her mind.

Alright, let's do it now!

The threats from both inside and outside the mountain are rapidly approaching, leaving no time for more thorough preparations. I urgently need to improve my cultivation level; otherwise, I will be unable to cope with the challenges that are about to unfold.

Moreover, the abilities of a Heavenly Spiritual Root cannot be judged by ordinary standards. If we wait until he reaches the late stage of Foundation Establishment, who knows how many unexpected troubles will arise.

Moreover, refining this spiritual root will take an unknown amount of time, so the sooner we start, the sooner we can refine it.

Hmm, I'll make my move on the next moonless night, when the yin energy is at its strongest. By the time I've completed the initial refining, they should all be back...

She had already made up her mind.

Time marches on, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, as the sun gradually set in the west, darkness gradually enveloped the earth. There was no moon or stars tonight; the entire land was shrouded in darkness, the moment when the power of Yin was at its strongest.

Yun Chu'an sat cross-legged atop his mountain, cultivating alone. At that moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew up, and then a tall figure suddenly appeared behind him.

Yun Chu'an, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He turned his head sharply and saw You Wensi standing behind him, smiling at him.

She was still dressed in that noble yet sexy attire, a gentle smile curving her crimson lips, but it sent chills down his spine.

Her full, firm breasts, with their diamond-shaped openings revealing a fair yet deep cleavage, instantly captivated his attention with their alluring beauty, making it impossible for him to look away.

He struggled to shift his attention, lowered his head to show respect: "Mother-in-law."

Having taken in his reaction, You Wensi smiled and stepped forward gracefully: "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you've already reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

As she walked forward, a faint fragrance wafted over his senses, stirring his heartstrings and stimulating his nerves, making him restless yet deliberately trying to force him to relax.

You Wensi's eyes were full of tenderness as she looked up at him, like a loving mother looking at her successful child.

Although she was a mature woman and not short at all, standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, she was still about half a head shorter than Yun Chu'an and had to look up to see him.

Yun Chu'an's heart pounded, and an uneasy premonition lingered in his mind: "It is all thanks to the cultivation of the family head and the careful care of my sisters that I have achieved what I have today."

You Wensi nodded slightly: "You know how to be grateful, that's the best thing, and that's the core reason why I chose you and took you in as my son-in-law."

Who knows how this woman could have discerned Yun Chu'an's admirable quality of "gratitude" without ever having met him? This was probably just her way of comforting herself. Yun Chu'an held his breath, not daring to be careless: "A grateful heart is the foundation of a person's character, and I, Yun, will naturally never forget it."

You Wensi nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "It is because you have such wonderful qualities that I am willing to entrust my daughter, as well as the best resources I have, my pills and dojo, my savings, and even this family to you."

But then she changed the subject: "Unfortunately, not now. Although your cultivation has improved rapidly, it is still not enough in the grand scheme of things."

Chapter 415 Midnight, Valley

Yun Chu'an continued, "I will do my utmost to study and practice diligently to improve my cultivation as soon as possible."

You Wensi shook her head slightly, her face bitter: "Under normal circumstances, your idea could be considered a righteous path. However, now that the threat of the python has reached the vicinity of our mountain, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to deal with the enemy who is so close at hand."

Yun Chu'an's expression shifted: "Then... Mother-in-law, do you have a good plan?"

You Wensi said, "Yes, there is, but..."

She pursed her lips: "There might be some risks, but it can definitely help you improve your cultivation level quickly."

"Do you dare to try?"

Yun Chu'an's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, his whole body tensed up, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

coming!

This woman is going to make a move on me!

His fists clenched unconsciously, his face flushed with excitement, and his eyes, like copper bells, stared unblinkingly at You Wensi in front of him.

"I'm willing to give it a try!" he said. "For my family, I'd go through fire and water without hesitation. What's a little risk?"

You Wensi immediately exclaimed, "Good! For the sake of our families, we must try even the most dangerous things. That's the responsibility a real man should have!"

A look of satisfaction appeared on her face. She raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder, as if looking at a ripe leek: "Come on, come with me!"

With that, she turned around, used her Shrinking Earth technique, and walked ahead. To protect Yun Chu'an's cultivation level, she deliberately did not fly, but walked down the mountain and sped away into the distance.

Yun Chu'an quickly followed him into a forest. The surrounding environment grew increasingly dark, and the sky above was completely dark. Yun Chu'an felt the ground beneath his feet gradually soften, as if he were walking on something as soft as cotton. However, all he could see around him was a dense thicket of branches and leaves, and he couldn't see anything at all.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the branches and leaves on both sides suddenly disappeared, and the space in front of them opened up. Yun Chu'an looked ahead and saw the entrance to a deep canyon.

Looking up, countless large locust trees, each several decades old, grow on the mountaintops on both sides of the canyon's summit. Their lush foliage completely blocks out the sun, so even at the height of the day, not a single ray of sunlight can penetrate this canyon.

You Wensi continued forward, while Yun Chuan slowed down, walking here, opening his senses to perceive the density of spiritual energy around him.

Instantly, an endless surge of chilling spiritual energy rushed in, causing him to shiver involuntarily. This extremely yin place made him even more certain that this was the graveyard You Wensi had prepared for him.

What risk? It must be certain death, right?

He narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists slightly.

Suddenly, You Wensi turned around and looked at him, asking, "What's wrong?"

Yun Chu'an quickly adopted an honest and simple demeanor: "Mother-in-law, it's so cold here. I feel the yin energy around me is so heavy, it's corroding my body..."

You Wensi said, "It's right that it's cold and has a lot of yin energy. This is a place specially prepared for you."

Yun Chu'an looked puzzled: "What?"

You Wensi explained, "As the saying goes, 'A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.' Without enduring the oppression of an extremely yin and cold environment, how can you forge your extremely strong and yang 'Pure Yang Skill'?"

"Do you remember what happened on your wedding night with Qi Qiao? Extreme yin gives rise to extreme yang. At that moment, you were clearly just an ordinary person who knew nothing about cultivation, yet you were able to absorb Qi Qiao's cultivation to replenish yourself and step into the ranks of cultivators. What a miracle that was, what an impossible leap."

As she spoke, her tone grew increasingly excited: "And now, I have meticulously prepared all of this for you. If we successfully replicate the miracle of that night, you will immediately advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and perhaps even..."

She clenched her fist: "To directly step into the ranks of Golden Core cultivators and become a pillar of our Huai Mountain family, standing shoulder to shoulder with me!"

Yun Chu'an nodded, her expression showing excitement at what she had said, but her heart was ice-cold: "I understand, Mother-in-law. What should I do? When should we begin?"

You Wensi looked up and glanced at the sky. There were no stars in the dark sky at this moment, but she could tell from a little sense that the moment of extreme yin had not yet arrived, and it was not the perfect time to kill him.

“No rush,” she said. “Come in first, follow me into this canyon, and then I will teach you how to circulate your internal energy, drawing in the yin and evil energies into your body. Then, at the most yin moment, draw out the extreme yin to generate the extreme yang, helping you reach a higher realm…”

She spoke these words with earnestness and persuasion, guiding Yun Chu'an to follow her rhythm.

Yun Chu'an was wary, but didn't verbally resist. He followed her into the dark canyon, silently chanting incantations to absorb the deadly Yin energy into his body, and then...

When combined with his supreme yang spiritual power, yin and yang were in harmony, ultimately becoming balanced and peaceful, complementing each other perfectly.

Sensing the intensity of the surrounding Yin spiritual energy, he silently made an estimate and finally came to a conclusion.

It doesn't feel as powerful as... dual cultivation with Qi Qiao.

Since entering the Foundation Establishment stage, Qi Qiao's many abilities have been further developed. She is no longer as dull as she was when she was a zombie who could only move with her eyes closed. Instead, she can draw on a huge amount of Yin spiritual power anytime and anywhere to cultivate together with him.

Therefore, every time Yun Chuan cultivated with her, he could always feel a huge Yin spirit entering his body, merging with his spiritual power, assisting each other and complementing each other perfectly.

An expression of enjoyment appeared on his face, and the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations rose steadily. Not far away, You Wensi noticed that his expression was not what she had expected, and immediately raised an eyebrow, looking very puzzled.

what happened?

What kind of expression is that on his face right now?

Shouldn't he be in pain? Shouldn't he be cold? Shouldn't he feel uncomfortable?
