I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

"Naturally remember."

Xie Yuan had already vaguely guessed Yun Xing's intention and nodded:

"How can your Excellency help me?"

"Gather a dozen or so masters from your Xie family and go with me to destroy her!"

Yunxing blinked.

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"Your Excellency, please be realistic."

Yunxing chuckled:
"Well, you alone will be enough... I'll trouble Patriarch Xie to accompany me personally."

Xie Yuan said in a deep voice:
"You haven't told me who you are dealing with? Is it one of the other four envoys?"

"You'll know if you follow me."

Xie Yuan frowned and asked again:

"So, should we kill him, capture him, teach him a lesson, or what?"

"You'll know once you get there, but you can't tell until you get there."

Yun Xing spoke slowly, but he kept his mouth shut.

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment.

This guy refused to say a word and knew nothing about the situation. How could Xie Yuan dare to agree to go with her?
He didn't think that the four envoys of the Kitchen God Cult were his friends and allies. If they weren't in the Xie clan's territory, Xie Yuan might not even meet her alone.

"Emissary Yun, you are making it very difficult for me to make a decision."

Xie Yuan exhaled and shook his head:

"If you don't explain clearly, I can't go with you."

"Ah, you actually want to regret it?"

Yun Xing shouted exaggeratedly, with a sad face:
"If I had known you were such a heartless man, I shouldn't have listened to you..."

As she spoke, she picked up her sleeve and pretended to wipe the purple smear on the corners of her eyes.

Xie Yuan was speechless. He had never promised anything.

In fact, it was not necessarily Yun Xing's own intention to send him Wanbing Zhuying last time and to help him divert Wang's attention this time; even if it was, Xie Yuan had not made any promises. If he wanted to learn from those old foxes and do things according to his status, it would not matter if he ignored her.

But after all, Yun Xing had helped him, and Xie Yuan didn't want to owe her a favor. After all, she and the people behind her were very mysterious and powerful, which made him very wary.

They can ruin the Wang family's affairs, and they can also make the Xie family's situation worse.

At least now it seems that Yun Xing is friendly, so Xie Yuan has to do his best to maintain this relationship.

He sighed:
"Emissary Yun, I am willing to help you, but I have a heavy burden on my shoulders. If you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Chen County easily."

"Who said you should go away?"

Yun Xing immediately put away his pretentious expression and said with a smile:
"That's nothing, but the rules are the rules. If you don't agree to participate in it...

"If you know the contents of the ritual, you will die."

Yun Xing smiled, but a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

Xie Yuan frowned immediately:

"ceremony?"

Hearing her say this, it doesn't feel like a good thing. It may even be a big event in the Kitchen God Cult, which is why this honorable envoy is so serious.

Yun Xing said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm just looking for your help, I'm not going to do anything to you."

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Emissary Yun, I can do my best to find other conditions and help, whether it is precious medicines, skills, spiritual objects or magic weapons. But I am sorry that I cannot comply with such an unclear request."

“What a wealthy family!”

Yun Xing raised his thumb, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth:

"But do I need that thing from you?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was a little awkward, Xie Yuan took a breath and said sincerely:

"Emissary Yun, you know my situation. If this 'ritual' is so special that I cannot tell you in advance, then I have my reasons. Given my current situation, it is necessary to plan carefully before taking action."

"Really? That's not necessarily true."

Yun Xing smiled:
"I think you'll still come with me."

"You are joking, Envoy Yun. I don't think there is anything that can cause me to take such a risk."

Xie Yuan said without comment.

"Then what if I say..."

Yun Xing said leisurely:
"What can I tell you about the cure for amnesia?"

"what?"

Xie Yuan's eyes widened.

Rather than being a disease, amnesia actually means that the soul of a strong person has been severely damaged.

This kind of damage might have been cured in the ancient times when the practice of martial arts flourished, but in this age when martial arts are respected, there is really nothing that can be done to the soul, and one can only rely on luck to recover on their own.

As for the few sects that have preserved the ancient methods, such as Prajna Temple, Xuanzhen Sect, and the illusory Zhikong Mountain, Cui Pingjun had already sent people to ask for advice and also invited experts to take a look, but unfortunately there was no good solution.

Now the person in front of me actually said that there is a way to make Xie Yi recover?
Xie Yuan's voice became three points higher, and he asked anxiously:
"Is this true?"

"If the Xuanzhen Sect of the Prajna Temple doesn't have such a method, where else in the world do you think it can be found?"

Yun Xing said with a smile.

If we have to say that there is a place in the world that is better than Prajna Temple and Xuanzhen Sect, and whose heritage is longer than those of the two sects.

That can only be the Kitchen God.

Hope suddenly ignited in Xie Yuan's heart.

They had naturally thought about it before, but the Kitchen God Cult and the Xie family were mortal enemies, and Xie Yi was injured by Situ Wan, so how could they possibly save him?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan was happy for a moment, then quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice:

"Even if you have it, can you really give me a way to treat my second uncle?"

Yun Xing smiled and said:
"In fact, the Holy Church has never said that it must be an enemy of you. As for the master...she actually doesn't care whether Xie Yi lives or dies."

Xie Yuan's heart beat fast when he heard this, and he began to hesitate.

Given his current status and responsibilities, he naturally cannot put himself in danger, whether for the Xie family or for himself.

However, if there is really a possibility of saving Xie Yi...

Xie Yi was not only his uncle, but also treated him with almost no reservations. After bringing him back to the Xie family, he never treated him unfairly. He had all the resources and skills he needed, and his treatment and status were raised to the highest level despite the pressure and rumors, helping him practice. If it weren't for him, Xie Yuan would never have been able to get in touch with top-notch Xuanbing such as Jiaohun and the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear Technique.

And just to say that when Xie Yi first rescued him from the Yao family in Jinling, it was a real life-saving favor. Although Xie Yi said that he didn't want any reward from him, it was impossible for Xie Yuan to be ungrateful.

Yun Xing saw that Xie Yuan was very interested, smiled slightly, and added another handful of firewood:

"Also, perhaps the thing you have always wanted to know can be answered in the church."

"what?"

Xie Yuan showed a puzzled look. For a moment, he couldn't think of any unanswered questions.

Yun Xing looked at him and said slowly:

"Regarding the truth about the annihilation of the Mu family in Beidu Mountain...don't look at me like that, I don't know."

Seeing Xie Yuan staring at him with eyes wide open, Yun Xing waved his hands repeatedly:
"Look, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Do you have any clues? Are you... the one who did it?"

Xie Yuan frowned.

Yun Xing chuckled and said:
"The Holy Church's attention has never been above one family. As for the clues, I don't know, but there are always people in the Church who pay attention to major events in the world. If you follow me, maybe you can find some clues."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan pondered for a long time.

Mu Chaoyun’s next step was to investigate the Kitchen God Cult. She also felt that if no clues could be found elsewhere, the Kitchen God Cult might have the answer.

If he could get into the Kitchen God Sect and find out something, perhaps he could help Mu Chaoyun sooner, and also let her reduce the use of the secret technique of interfering with the heavenly secrets and shortening people's lifespans.

After hearing Yun Xing's last words, Xie Yuan finally made up his mind.

"I asked the master before I came here, and she tacitly agreed to let you help me. If there is a chance, she also wants to see you again."

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"In that case, please allow me two days to prepare, and I will set off with you."

Yun Xing smiled immediately, her eyes painted with purple eyeshadow were as bright as a crescent moon:
"Don't worry, it will take some time anyway. I will come here to pick you up in half a month."

After she finished speaking, she blinked and said with a smile:
"I hope you won't let me down."

After Yun Xing left, Xie Yuan let out a long breath and thought to himself:
“Given the strength of the Zao Cult and Yun Xing’s cultivation level, they still want me to help them. I’m afraid this won’t be a simple matter.

"But if the rewards are as she said, then it's worth the risk."

He considered it slowly and was a little hesitant about whether to tell Cui Pingjun the truth about this matter.

If he told these elders who supported him, they probably would not agree easily. Even Cui Pingjun might not let him seek the skin of a tiger.

But seeing Xie Yi's condition, he might sleep for the rest of his life without any external interference. Xie Yuan could not tolerate this happening.

Besides, there are other reasons...

Xie Yuan shook his head:

"There is still half a month left, let's prepare first."

After that, Xie Yuan completely closed the door to visitors. Except for his closest friends like Xie Lingyun, who were allowed to see him from time to time, he ignored other people and other things and just practiced martial arts.

He stayed longer at the Xie family arsenal every day, and the Ten Thousand Soldiers Candle Shadow was in full effect from time to time. In addition to guiding him in spear training with all his might, Xie Fu would also agree from time to time to let Xie Yuan take out the original version of the "Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear" for him to study and comprehend.

Ordinary members of the Xie family, even elders who are qualified to practice on the eighth level, cannot hold the original in their hands every day.

Finally, this day.

Xie Yuan held the holy book of spearmanship in his hand. The candlelight on his left arm emitted a gentle heat that made his mind clear and his ears and eyes sharp. He could identify the spear shadows on the book very clearly and gained new insights every day.

He was immersed in it, but then he felt something, stood up and took the gun.

Gun shadows flashed in the space of the eighth floor, and every stab released a terrifying force that seemed to be able to penetrate everything in front of it.

The heart-pounding energy was automatically annihilated when it hit the surrounding books and walls without causing any ripples. The protection of the Xie family armory was indestructible, and it was a good place to practice martial arts.

Xie Fu was standing nearby, twirling his beard and watching, his eyes twinkling, his lips tightly pursed, not uttering a single glance, nor making a single sound to correct him.

Not until Xie Yuan had practiced the entire set did he suddenly retract and release his spear.

The eighth floor seemed to darken for a moment. There was no longer any bookshelf or stone wall, no old man or young man. The whole world was dark. Only a blazing gun shadow suddenly appeared, separating the sky and the earth and illuminating the world.

Xie Yuan paused his spear and let out a long breath.

"Clap clap-"

A round of loud applause sounded, Xie Fu's face turned red, and he laughed:

"Great, great! I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, your spear skills could actually reach the level of 'mastery'! So proficient, so integrated, if the spear skills of the sixth and seventh levels could reach this level, it would be enough to be proud of, not to mention the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear!
"Many of the guys who practiced this spear technique are only at your level, but what is your level? How long have you been practicing it? If they were to compare with you, they wouldn't even be able to match you by a hair! Xie Yuan, you were born to be a spearman!"

Xie Fu was overjoyed and praised repeatedly, even relegating others to the dust compared to Xie Yuan.

The little fellow who practiced the spear he mentioned was naturally one of the younger masters of the Xie family. In terms of spearmanship level, he was only comparable to Xie Yuan at the moment.

Xie Yuan kept being modest. He knew that he was not so talented in spearmanship...it was fine if he had other talents.

Carelessly touching his arm, Xie Yuan said to Xie Fu, since his spearmanship had also broken through:

"Elder Fu, I have also gained some insights in my cultivation recently. I may need to retreat for a while. I can no longer come to the armory every day to ask for your advice."

Xie Fu was so happy when he heard this that he waved his hand:

"It's okay. You have entered a new realm now. You can go back and comprehend the spearmanship. It will be difficult for you to go further with your current level of cultivation. Once you have digested your gains, you should try to comprehend a new move next time."

He continued to praise Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan said a few humble words before saying goodbye.

It has been almost half a month. Before setting out, Xie Yuan had mastered the first move of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, and he felt more confident.

Once this peerless spear technique is mastered, the quality of the blood will also be slightly improved, which will naturally increase the overall strength significantly.

There were not many people of the same level who could handle this kind of spear technique, and the huge consumption of energy could be compensated by Xie Yuan's internal strength at that time.

He said goodbye to Cui Pingjun again, saying that he would be away from the Xie family for a while, but he did not tell the whole truth.

Cui Pingjun was not a simple person. When she heard that he was leaving at this time, she knew that there must be something hidden. She asked a few questions and when she heard that he wanted to seek Dharma for Xie Yi, she suddenly lost her composure and her voice trembled uncontrollably:
“Where else in the world can we find such a method?”

Her mind raced, and she instantly thought of something and frowned.

Before she could speak, Xie Yuan spoke first:
"Aunt, don't worry, I know what's important. This time it was also invited by a friend, I trust her, and my safety should be no problem."

Cui Pingjun's expression was calm, but she was a little hesitant. She said that this friend was Situ Qin, so Xie Yuan's personal safety was indeed guaranteed.

But Xie Yi had already been injured by the Kitchen God, and now he had to go to the Kitchen God to seek Dharma, and Xie Yuan had to take risks for himself. Cui Pingjun was really conflicted.

However, looking at Xie Yi lying on the bed, Xie Yuan kept making promises, so Cui Pingjun had no choice but to acquiesce.

He also told Xie Lingyun that he would be back soon, and Xie Yuan would meet Yunxing on the outskirts of Chen County fifteen days later.

"Ready?"

Yun Xing looked at Xie Yuan, and a mysterious smile appeared on her charming face with purple makeup:
"Come on, I'll take you to the Holy Church."
