In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Chapter 17: Yin Susu Takes the Initiative to Visit

Gu Hanyuan first spent 2000 villain points to upgrade the Elementary Puppet Technique to the Intermediate Puppet Technique.

Intermediate-level puppets can already accept some simple commands, but they are still mainly controlled by the consciousness of the main body.

Even if it gets injured, it won't disappear immediately; it just won't bleed. In reality, it still has a lot of weaknesses.

However, there is no cooldown period, so it can last for a whole day.

The biggest improvement is the addition of a new feature, "location teleportation," which allows you to instantly swap locations with your original body.

The only trouble is that you need to prepare an extra set of Wutian's clothes and Shura mask as a backup.

The maximum control distance is a thousand miles, which is enough to allow the puppet to detach from the main body and do some things.

Although the function of the puppets had made new breakthroughs, it was not enough to satisfy Gu Hanyuan, at least not for his future plans.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan spent another 4000 villain points to upgrade the intermediate puppet technique to the advanced puppet technique.

Advanced puppets are already capable of executing more complex commands.

Although it can't talk on its own yet, it already saves Gu Hanyuan a lot of energy, at least he doesn't have to keep an eye on it all the time.

Furthermore, when the puppet is retrieved, the user can choose whether or not to receive the memories of the clone.

For example, when sending puppets on a journey, the scenery along the way can be stored as memories for Gu Hanyuan when the puppets are retrieved. It can even be used to practice external martial arts techniques and improve proficiency.

The puppet will be injured and bleed when attacked. If the damage is too severe, it will disappear completely, and the lost memories cannot be recovered.

It can persist for up to a month, and its maximum control distance reaches tens of thousands of miles, enabling it to cross national borders.

With the ability to cross national borders, Gu Hanyuan could use puppets for long-distance "location teleportation".

Now we're just waiting for Yin Susu to send intelligence from various countries before deciding which country the puppet will go to.

We have 1670 villain points left, which we'll keep for later.

After several days of treatment, Zhang Wuji's condition showed no improvement. Although Zhang Sanfeng's profound internal energy temporarily suppressed the rampant cold poison, preventing it from spreading throughout Zhang Wuji's body.

However, the attempt to eliminate the cold poison failed.

The cold poison had become completely entangled with Zhang Wuji.

If the cold poison were completely removed, Zhang Wuji's dantian and meridians would be shattered, and even his heart meridian would be damaged, which would be no different from committing suicide.

Moreover, after several days, apart from Zhang Sanfeng, all the other masters, including Mu Daoren, were extremely exhausted.

Even Zhang Songxi, whose cultivation level was relatively low, suffered a backlash from the cold poison. If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't intervened, there would probably have been one more person afflicted by the cold poison.

Fortunately, a few days later, Yin Susu finally took out the Blazing Sun Pill that she had obtained from Gu Hanyuan.

The only excuse they could give was that it was sent from the Eagle Cult specifically to treat cold poison.

Of course, the side effects have also been mentioned. They won't cause any problems in the short term, but they will become more troublesome in the long run.

But now we have no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

In fact, the fact that the Sky Eagle Sect had both received intelligence and sent pills on these two occasions surprised everyone.

They even misjudged the speed of the Sky Eagle Cult's development in recent years, thinking that the Sky Eagle Cult's power had greatly increased.

Even Zhang Sanfeng praised the White-browed Eagle King's remarkable skills.

Yin Susu was extremely embarrassed by this, but there was nothing she could do. She would just keep it a secret for as long as possible.

Just try to prevent his father, Yin Tianzheng, from having any contact with the Wudang Sect.

Finally, Zhang Sanfeng decided to take Zhang Wuji to the Northern Shaolin Temple and Emei Temple to seek the "Nine Yang Skill".

Back then, Master Jueyuan passed on the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" to Qin Sirong (originally Guo Xiang), Zen Master Wuse, and Zhang Sanfeng. Due to different interpretations, it was eventually divided into "Emei Nine Yang Skill", "Shaolin Nine Yang Skill" and "Wudang Nine Yang Skill".

If Zhang Sanfeng could borrow the "Nine Yang Skill" from Northern Shaolin and Emei, he would be fully capable of restoring eighty or ninety percent of the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" with his current skill level.

As long as Zhang Wuji practices the "Nine Yang Divine Skill", he will be able to neutralize the cold poison on his own.

After seeing that Zhang Wuji was no longer in immediate danger, Zhang Cuishan began to worry about Xie Xun.

Although Wutian told her that Xie Xun was dead that day, she came to the same conclusion as Yin Susu.

Zhang Cuishan still harbored doubts simply because of the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Even if Xie Xun is dead, Zhang Cuishan will still go back to Icefire Island to see if he can find Xie Xun's remains.

He didn't believe that Wutian would be so kind as to kill someone and then collect Xie Xun's body.

Yin Susu knew the truth, but she didn't know how to explain it.

Should she reveal her relationship with Gu Hanyuan?

In the end, all they could do was try to stop Zhang Cuishan from going to Icefire Island, and they stopped dwelling on the conflict between the two of them some time ago.

"Fifth Brother. Brother Xie's martial arts are very strong. He even broke through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster on Icefire Island. Wutian's power was not so strong that it was irresistible. He is not a Grandmaster. Even if the Dragon-Slaying Saber was taken away, it was mostly due to a sneak attack. Rather than going back to Icefire Island now, it would be better to take Wuji to treat his cold poison first."

"Although Brother Xie's martial arts skills are indeed not weak, he is blind after all. If he were poisoned, he might not be able to detect it. We should go back to Icefire Island to put our minds at ease."

Zhang Cuishan was a man who always valued loyalty, and he was truly sincere towards Xie Xun.

"So you're just going to abandon Wuji?"

Yin Susu was somewhat annoyed, after all, a woman's heart is always more concerned with her own little family.

If Zhang Wuji is cured, and Zhang Cuishan returns to Icefire Island to meet Xie Xun, she might even go with him.

Unfortunately, Zhang Cuishan was, in today's terms, a complete straight man.

"No need to say anything more. Wuji is not in immediate danger. If he is still not cured when I return from Icefire Island, I will take him to seek medical treatment."

The two parted on bad terms in the end.

That night, for the first time, Yin Susu took the initiative to go to Gu Hanyuan's room.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

Gu Hanyuan was also somewhat surprised.

These past few days he's been busy learning martial arts from Zhang Sanfeng and the Seven Heroes, who are available, to make up for his shortcomings, so he hasn't had time to pay attention to Yin Susu.

His already proficient "Thirteen Swords of the Divine Gate," "Cotton Palm," and "Ladder Cloud Leap" techniques were even rapidly improved to a level of mastery. Everyone was amazed by his comprehension.

Even Yu Daiyan taught Gu Hanyuan the "Tiger Claw Hand" technique during his recovery from injuries.

Of course, I was quite surprised when I first heard about Gu Hanyuan's deeds at the birthday celebration.

Now that his injuries are improving, he was in a good mood and didn't say anything, just offered a few words of encouragement.

Yin Susu's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"Didn't you want intelligence? I've brought it to you."

Just then, the intelligence from the Sky Eagle Sect arrived during the day, which was originally intended to be handed over to Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan took the scroll from Yin Susu's hand and began to read it.

Yin Susu stood quietly to the side, waiting.

The intelligence contained a lot of information, but not much of it was actually useful.

Just as Yin Susu had said before, the details within the Ming Kingdom were relatively detailed, but as for other countries outside the country, it was only a general overview.

Chapter 18: Free for All Tonight

After reviewing all the intelligence, Gu Hanyuan had a general understanding of most of the national powers.

A conclusion was drawn after induction.

Beginner Level: Song Kingdom, Qing Kingdom

High difficulty level: Ming Dynasty

Hell difficulty level: Sui Dynasty

Completely Unknown Level: Mongol Yuan Dynasty

As for small countries like Dali and Western Xia, their national strength was weak, and their martial arts reputation was nominal but not real. Most of their masters were gathered into the royal family.

While the Jin and Liao dynasties may have had considerable military strength, they were already showing signs of decline.

Therefore, the best places to take down the villains are the Song and Qing kingdoms.

Compared to the Song Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would be more troublesome, since it would be too conspicuous for Han Chinese to come to the Qing Dynasty, and he had no intention of shaving his head and tail.

Anti-Qing organizations such as the Heaven and Earth Society, the Red Flower Society, and the Mu Prince's Mansion were everywhere.

Therefore, the storyline of Wei Xiaobao should exist.

Currently, Oboi is still at the height of his power in the Qing Dynasty, so the real story has not yet begun, and there is no rush.

While it's unclear how far the plot has progressed, the overall strength of the martial arts world in the Song Kingdom is not as great as that in the Ming Kingdom. Moreover, there are many undiscovered martial arts manuals and treasures that one could take advantage of.

After making his decision, Gu Hanyuan was about to plan carefully when he saw that Yin Susu showed no intention of leaving.

After a little thought, I managed to guess most of it.

After all, she had changed into a clean white dress, her hair was still damp, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her makeup was exquisite, making her even more stunning than the night before.
