Rong Shan was in a good mood, but then he noticed the way Zhang Huaidan was looking at him. He didn't know why, but he felt that it wasn't very polite.

Zhang Huaidan withdrew his gaze: "Ninth Brother, you are on the right path by cultivating the Golden Light Warrior. Just keep going and go for it. I have no suggestions to offer."

Rong Shan was overjoyed and ignored the strange feeling he had just had.

Since Huai Dan has said so, it seems that this Golden Light Warrior technique is indeed a top-tier secret technique tailor-made for him!

He laughed and said, "Huai Dan, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

Zhang Huaidan ignored him and dismissed him, saying, "Since that's the case, you can go back now."

"No, I'm not in the way sitting here, Lingyu, Chulan, don't you agree?"

Large, flesh-colored and gold hands rested on their shoulders.

Zhang Lingyu didn't react much, only her eyes twitched slightly. Zhang Chulan, whose cultivation was much lower, grimaced as if his bones were about to fall apart.

Rong Shan smiled sheepishly and quickly dispersed the Golden Light Warrior.

Zhang Huaidan ignored him and asked, "Chu Lan, who goes first, you or Ling Yu?"

Zhang Chulan was still rubbing his shoulder when Zhang Lingyu said, "Let me go first."

After saying this, he circulated his internal energy, displaying his life cultivation without reservation. The golden light that manifested externally covered his body, making him look like a gilded sculpture.

Zhang Huaidan nodded: "You haven't slacked off in your cultivation during this time."

Zhang Chulan immediately took action and felt that the layer of golden light was tangible and extremely tough. He was amazed and said, "Junior Uncle, I don't know how many years it would take me to reach your level."

Rong Shan lightly tapped the protective golden light, producing a dull sound, and adopted the demeanor of an expert: "Not bad. When I was your age, the level of refinement of the golden light was about the same as yours now."

Zhang Lingyu couldn't stand being praised. Hearing the three of them talking at once, she quickly shook her head and said, "No way, you're flattering me too much."

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "Alright, Chu Lan, it's your turn."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's expression turned solemn. He circulated his true qi, revealing his cultivation level, and golden light manifested.

It was also a protective golden light, but the difference between it and Zhang Lingyu's was obvious to the naked eye. It didn't have that substantial feeling; it was as if a layer of gold paint had been applied to the body.

Rong Shan tapped lightly, but no sound came out. Zhang Chulan's golden light seemed to be a layer of golden film, and it dented slightly.

"Chu Lan, you're way behind. Have you been practicing your skills diligently?"

Zhang Chulan gave a wry smile: "Joining the company means there will be many tasks, so where will I find the extra time to cultivate?"

And more importantly...

Zhang Lingyu said, "Ninth Senior Brother, you know that because of Uncle Huaiyi, Chu Lan has been cautious for ten years and dared not unleash his cultivation. Now that he has reached this level, it is actually quite good."

Rong Shan thought about it and realized that this made sense.

Zhang Chulan breathed a sigh of relief. He had just been thinking about how to explain that his junior uncle had unknowingly helped him.

"Brother Dan, look..."

Zhang Chulan's heartstrings trembled slightly!
Zhang Huaidan's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes seeming to see right through him, leaving no room for his ulterior motives to hide.

"Chu Lan, there are no outsiders here."

No more words were said.

Rong Shan and Zhang Lingyu are confused. What's going on?
Zhang Chulan took a deep breath: "Yes, I was wrong."

After saying that, he circulated his true qi again, and the golden light manifesting on his body solidified by more than double in the next moment!
Even if she's not as good as Zhang Lingyu from before, she's not that much worse.

In this situation, the two were well aware of the situation. Rong Shan frowned deeply: "You concealed your cultivation level just now!"

Zhang Lingyu said, "Is it necessary? Even if we know your true cultivation level, we won't do anything to you." Zhang Chulan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles: "It's my fault, Junior Uncle, Junior Uncle Rongshan, I shouldn't have hidden my cultivation level."

If it were only Brother Dan and Sister Bao'er here, Zhang Chulan would never do something so meaningless.

Zhang Lingyu and Rong Shan weren't really that familiar with each other.

Zhang Chulan subconsciously wanted to hide something.

Rong Shan sneered: "Since you're not on the same page, why don't you secretly go find Huai Dan tonight?"

Zhang Chulan was in an even more awkward position.

Zhang Lingyu shook her head: "Although it's somewhat unexpected, it makes sense for you. You face a lot of pressure wherever you are. Being able to hide it a little might play a crucial role at some point. Besides, Senior Brother Rongshan is a big..."

Zhang Lingyu shut her mouth.

Rong Shan's eyes widened: "Big what?"

Zhang Lingyu chuckled twice. Rong Shan was about to press further when Zhang Huaidan said, "You have no self-awareness at all. Everyone on Longhu Mountain knows you have a loud voice!"

Rong Shan blushed and argued, "Who said that? I... I just..."

Zhang Chulan praised, "Uncle-Master Rongshan is truly upright and honorable!"

Rong Shan's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, declaring firmly, "That's right, I'm upright and honest, I have nothing to hide!"

He glanced at Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan smiled awkwardly. Why was he still being attacked even though he had spoken up for Rong Shan?

Zhang Huaidan said, "Chu Lan, it's right to keep things to yourself. It shows that you are cautious and rational. However, too much of a good thing can be bad. You are not on any other path, but on the path of cultivating both body and mind. Since you have embarked on this path, you must understand that those who cultivate body and mind should be upright and honest. Show what you can and don't hide what you can. Only when your mind and path are in harmony can you achieve twice the result with half the effort."

A warm feeling welled up in Zhang Chulan's heart. As his cultivation progressed, he did indeed sense a certain bottleneck.

Just like the secret Yang Five Thunder Technique, which is clearly strong and sharp, it becomes somewhat sinister in his hands.

At first, he was quite pleased with himself, thinking that he had improved Yang Wu Lei.

However, these ideas no longer exist.

If one only seeks to harm others, Yang Wu Lei will never reach the level of Yin Wu Lei.

This has nothing to do with whether or not it's improved; the very nature of Thunder Magic dictates it.

Just like a chicken, no matter how much it imitates the habits of a duck, it is still a chicken and will not become a duck.

Cultivating both body and mind is one of the traditions in the world of supernatural beings. It places certain demands on the mindset of the cultivator. Zhang Chulan increasingly felt that his own mindset was not quite in line with these requirements.

You must either change your mindset or change your path; either way, it's incredibly difficult.

As for the fact that his cultivation progress has not only not slowed down, but is actually catching up with Zhang Lingyu, there is another reason.

Rong Shan seized the opportunity and said, "If you don't know how to do it, just learn from me."

"That's right, that's right. The noble character of Uncle Rongshan is something everyone should learn from."

Zhang Lingyu is funny; he's trying to coax a child!

Wait a minute, Senior Brother Rongshan is beaming with joy, he seems to have really been coaxed into being happy.

"I knew it, Chu Lan, your taste is different from others!"

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Zhang Huaidan smiled, "I've also learned a few secret techniques, each with its own strengths. Which aspect would you two like to learn?" (End of Chapter)
