Chapter 416 Go with the flow
In an attempt to stop her brother's physical decline, Ye Yirui even set her sights on the Life Tree of Medicine King Valley. However, after the elders of Medicine King Valley discovered this, they no longer gave her any chance to approach the Life Tree.

The Vitality Tree of Medicine King Valley is one of the few remaining in the Weiyu Realm, and it is also the main ingredient for refining Vitality Pills in Medicine King Valley. The proceeds from the auction of Vitality Pills each year can supply half of the sect, so the elders will never allow Ye Yirui to act recklessly.

Having no other choice, Ye Yirui could only place her hopes on Wei Yunxi of the Haoran Sect. When she learned that Wei Yunxi had taken the lightning tribulation for Venerable Yuling and was seriously injured, she was more anxious than anyone else, but she could not show it too obviously. It was not until she received the news that Wei Yunxi had come out of seclusion that she was finally relieved.

After waiting for another six months, she couldn't wait any longer. Her younger brother's health couldn't be delayed any longer, but she couldn't rashly take him to the Haoran Sect. So she entrusted Tianlin Shipping to send a message jade slip, explaining her brother Ye Yuchen's condition, and preparing to seek medical treatment at their home.

The message was sent, but no reply was received, and Ye Yirui's heart grew colder and colder.

Just then, the Medicine King Valley token at her waist vibrated twice. Her divine sense probed into it, and her eyes finally regained their light. Her eyes reddened as she stroked the ice coffin, saying:
"Yu Chen, Wei Yunxi is coming to Medicine King Valley in the Central Region. You must hold on. I will definitely find a way to help you recover completely!"

After saying that, he stood up, waved his hand to create a barrier, and then left the underground chamber where the ice coffin was stored.

Haoran Sect Cultivation Pavilion
Yunxi spent a day choosing three secret techniques, each corresponding to her three elemental roots: wind, thunder, and ice. These techniques encompassed escape, forcibly boosting cultivation, and a desperate gamble, achieving her goal of selecting secret techniques. However, she still felt a pang of regret when she had to spend her sect points.

Upon returning to Lingxue Peak, Yunxi took out three jade slips and began to study them one by one.

The secret technique used for escape is called "Omnipresent," which involves transforming oneself into the wind, making oneself omnipresent and ubiquitous, thus avoiding the enemy's spiritual sense and achieving the goal of escape.

Using this secret technique depletes her spiritual root. As long as your spiritual root is thick enough, you can use it an unlimited number of times. However, no cultivator's spiritual root can withstand such frequent abuse. Once the spiritual root is severely depleted, it will become a completely useless spiritual root.

The secret technique for forcibly enhancing cultivation is called "Snow's Lament." It involves using one's spiritual energy to mobilize the ice spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand miles after one's spiritual energy is exhausted, thus making it work for oneself. This provides a short-term, continuous supply of spiritual energy to kill the opponent, but it can only last for half an incense stick's time (about 2-3 minutes). The price paid is irreversible damage to one's spiritual energy.

The secret technique for a desperate last stand is "Thunderous Fury." When spiritual power is exhausted and divine consciousness is damaged and cannot be used, one sacrifices the thunderous spiritual root bestowed by the Heavenly Dao to summon heavenly lightning. This is tantamount to perishing together with the enemy, and it is a secret technique that should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Dian Dian stayed by Yun Xi's side and read the contents of the three secret techniques. Then, she twitched her ears and said:

“Master, these secret techniques are powerful, but the price is too high. Please don’t use them unless it’s absolutely necessary, otherwise I’m afraid we won’t be able to find any powerful rare and precious materials to repair your damage.”

At this moment, Dian Dian's desire to advance suddenly became strong.

Yunxi smiled slightly and rubbed Dian Dian's little head, saying:

"I know, this is just in case. There are very few cultivators in this world who can force me to use secret techniques, not to mention that I have my master backing me up."

Didi twitched its ears in satisfaction and began to study the secret technique with its owner.

Yunxi was practicing her secret techniques on Lingxue Peak, while the sect's selection process was in full swing. The competition among the Golden Core stage disciples was particularly exciting, and the Foundation Establishment stage disciples had the most applicants, making the competition the most intense. Every day, a dark horse would emerge and attract attention. Yunxi only kept track of the participating disciples' situations through the sect's message jade slips.

As the selection process drew to a close, Dian Dian suddenly ran to deliver the news to Yun Xi:
"Master, Dian Dian's friend on Spirit Beast Peak has discovered traces of the Shadow Gray Python."

After hearing this, Yunxi put down the information jade slip in her hand. That uneasy feeling returned, and she raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Is that shadowy gray python hiding in Wei Yunqing's cave?"

This time, Dian Dian was surprised:

"Master, how did you know? Who informed you in advance?"

Yunxi rubbed her temples:
"That's my guess. Wei Yunqing wants to compete with me in everything, and she wants to snatch everything from me. The announcement says that the Shadow Gray Python is mine. Even if she found out, she wouldn't tell me. Besides, I haven't formed a contract with the Shadow Gray Python, so she'll definitely want to keep it for herself." Dian Dian nodded repeatedly.
"Master is so clever, he guessed it right away."

"Who discovered the Shadow Python's tracks?"

“It’s a red-maned horse from Spirit Beast Peak. It has some connection with its master. It said that its master and another boy saved it, and it even carried the two of you back to the sect. In just over twenty years, its master has already become a True Lord, while it was still a child. It chatted with Dian Dian for a long time.”

Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes flickered, and she remembered the red-maned horse that she and Zonghao had rescued from the iron thorn bushes during the entrance test. That red-maned horse was very intelligent, and she never expected it to help her in this way.

How did it find it?

"The red-maned horse likes to wander around on Spirit Beast Peak. During the day, it would bask in the sun on a hillside and fall asleep. When it woke up, the moon was already high in the sky. It was too lazy to go back, so it decided to spend the night there. However, it found that the Shadowy Gray Python was cultivating by breathing in the moonlight. It remembered Dian Dian's instructions and did not disturb the other party. After confirming that the other party had entered Wei Yunqing's cave, it asked the Flying Cloud Butterfly to send me a message."

“I understand. I’ll handle the rest. Go ask Redmane what kind of reward he wants, and then take the reward to him later.”

Also, tell your friends on Spirit Beast Peak to pretend they know nothing about this and not to approach Wei Yunqing's peak unless absolutely necessary, lest they become food for the Shadow Gray Python.

"Yes, Master!"

Diandian jumped off the jade table and went to Spirit Beast Peak to find her friends.

Yunxi then vanished from Lingxue Peak and went to Law Enforcement Peak to see her master.

"Master, the Shadowy Gray Python is in Wei Yunqing's cave."

Yu Ling said calmly:
"Yes, I have received the message."

Yunxi sat down to the seat below Yu Ling and asked directly:

"Master, what are your plans? Do you need me to make a trip there?"

Yu Ling glanced at the eager Yun Xi and said:

"What, you're really going to rob it? It's not like it's anything good."

"Hehe, I'm just afraid that bad guy will instigate that idiot Wei Yunqing to do something that would harm the sect!"

"Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble for now. We're not doing anything because Wei Yunqing is also going to the Immortal Transformation Sect in the Central Region to participate in the competition. The Ancestor wants to play the long game and see what the other side is really up to by using Wei Yunqing as a cover."

Yu Ling did not hide anything and told Yun Xi about Hao Yi Ancestor's decision.

Yunxi instantly understood the ancestor's intention. Since the evil cultivators wanted to cause trouble and kill the elite disciples of the Five Domains, the best approach was to coordinate from within and without. Therefore, the Shadowy Gray Python had to be kept alive.

　My darlings, I really can't sit still any longer. I need to rest for a bit. There are two more chapters before 10 PM, I'll update as soon as I finish writing them. Thank you all for your support and patience. My back injury has flared up again these past two days, but I'll try my best to resume my regular update schedule once I've recovered.
