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

Gu Hanyuan needed a way to threaten the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's divided soul without directly destroying her.

Either wait for the system to reward you with a divine artifact that can affect the primordial spirit of immortals and gods.

Either upgrade the "Myriad Yin-Yang Technique" again.

Waiting for system rewards isn't necessarily hopeless, after all, even divine stones and the Kongtong Seal have appeared.

But that is fraught with uncertainty.

The most reliable option is to upgrade the technique again.

And this time, the focus will be on elevating the spirit and soul.

Gu Hanyuan had this idea for a long time, and now he was just more certain of it.

The "Myriad Phenomena Yin-Yang Technique" focuses on the balance of Yin and Yang and spiritual power, but does not involve spiritual cultivation.

Strictly speaking, the fact that Wu Xingyun was invaded by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's divided soul when his body grew larger was also the fault of the "Myriad Manifestations Yin-Yang Technique".

When the body changes shape, the primordial spirit is not adjusted in sync, so the density of spiritual power naturally decreases.

In fact, Wu Xingyun's strength decreases when she grows larger; she is at her peak strength only when she maintains her petite size.

That's why he was so resilient when facing Gu Hanyuan and wasn't broken.

The integration of techniques is imperative.

There are quite a few techniques that can be used as materials for fusion.

The complete "Ode to the Great Compassion of Yin and Yang in the Intercourse of Heaven and Earth" is one of them.

However, the main spiritual cultivation method is somewhat difficult to implement.

Gu Hanyuan either needs to obtain the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique" or choose one from the system.

Gu Hanyuan took a liking to a cultivation technique within the system.

That cultivation technique belongs to the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) category, and its effects are even stronger than the "Dao Xin Seed Demon Technique".

However, the price is so high that it's prohibitive for most people.

Fortunately, there are many charming women in this world, and the villain points I get may be enough to exchange for that martial arts technique.

Furthermore, Gu Hanyuan also learned from Wu Xingyun about the World Will's targeting of her when she broke through to the level of a Land Immortal.

From now on, anyone who breaks through to become a terrestrial immortal will have a very high chance of becoming an enemy.

Even those veteran land deities might not necessarily be immune to his influence.

The spiritual energy of this world is reviving.

Breakthroughs in realms will become increasingly easier, and the means of the world's will may also become increasingly powerful.

It's not impossible for him to directly bewitch all the terrestrial deities into attacking him.

Gu Hanyuan immediately sensed the gravity of the situation and knew he needed to speed things up.

He exhaled a breath of fresh air, feeling refreshed, and instructed Shuang'er, who was wiping her lips:

"I'll leave Yun'er in Shuang'er's care."

Shuang'er blushed and agreed.

Gu Hanyuan dressed and washed up with her help.

He flashed into Wen Tailai's guest room.

He looked at Wen Tailai, who was breathing evenly but was unconscious, smiled knowingly, and pushed open the door to leave.

The first thing that catches the eye is Luo Bing, a beautiful wife with a haggard and tired face.

He said regretfully, under her expectant gaze:

"Madam, I have done my best."

Chapter 636: Su Quan and Luo Bing, vying for attention

Yesterday, Luo Bing saw Gu Hanyuan taking Wen Tai to heal his injuries.

I subconsciously felt relieved.

While Gu Hanyuan was busy having a passionate encounter with Wu Xingyun.

Shuang'er led Su Quan and Tao Hongying back to the courtyard after they had bathed and changed.

Tao Hongying actually had a very good background, after all, she was once a palace maid arranged by Empress Zhou, the wife of Emperor Chongzhen, for Zhu Meichu.

Moreover, Empress Zhou and Tao Hongying had a very good relationship, and Empress Zhou had even saved Tao Hongying's life once.

Besides taking care of the young Zhu Meichu, Tao Hongying was often kept by Empress Zhou's side and regarded as a confidante.

Empress Zhou was a woman of unparalleled beauty.

The poem "Chongzhen Palace Poems" records that she was "the Empress with a face like jade, who did not need makeup."

As the saying goes, a beautiful woman will be accompanied by another beautiful woman, because she is not afraid of being overshadowed by a supporting character.

Although Tao Hongying wasn't a stunning beauty in her youth, she was certainly quite outstanding.

If Empress Zhou hadn't kept a close watch on her, Emperor Chongzhen would have even considered taking her as a concubine.

This even led to a dispute between Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou was of a strong and resolute nature; she would never allow Emperor Chongzhen to harm a palace maid he trusted.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was a diligent and hardworking ruler who did not care for beautiful women.

Most of the concubines were taken in before he ascended the throne, and after he ascended the throne, only two imperial concubines besides Empress Zhou were favored.

It was just a casual remark, but even though Emperor Chongzhen felt it was an insult to his imperial dignity, he still backed down first.

There were many similar disputes, and each time Emperor Chongzhen was the first to back down, which shows the affection between him and Empress Zhou.

In short, Tao Hongying was an outstanding beauty when she was young.

After bathing and changing out of her formal palace maid attire, one could still vaguely see her youthful beauty.

However, the years have inevitably left their mark on her face.

Moreover, her years of undercover work have kept her constantly vigilant, her body tense, and her expression solemn.

In this state, one's appearance naturally drops drastically.

Of course, the focus at this moment is not Tao Hongying, but Su Quan, who is incomparably beautiful after washing away the dust of the journey.

Wearing a red dress, Su Quan's slender waist was graceful and her figure was charming.

With every frown and smile, she exuded charm and was incomparably beautiful.

Her captivating beauty was so stunning that even women would be moved by her.

Su Quan has already spoken with Tao Hongying.

They all felt they had no confidence that they could hide it from Gu Hanyuan.

However, the two women had different opinions.

Although Tao Hongying did not tell Gu Hanyuan the truth, which was suspected of being deception, given his hostile stance towards the Qing Dynasty, she could simply reveal everything she knew.

At least in dealing with the Qing Dynasty, their goals should have been aligned.

After taking a shower and calming down, I was no longer as panicked as before.

However, Su Quan is much more complicated than Tao Hongying.

Firstly, it was she who asked Gu Hanyuan for help at the time, so she definitely bears more responsibility for the deception.

Secondly, her identity as a member of the Divine Dragon Sect always made her feel uncertain.

She wasn't actually being hunted down after discovering the fake empress dowager's identity, as Tao Hongying guessed.

Of course, Tao Hongying also began to suspect Su Quan at this time, after all, she was just too beautiful.

Such a beautiful woman, living in the palace, would probably have died long ago if she hadn't been one of Emperor Kangxi's concubines.

The power struggles within the imperial harem were often fraught with bloodshed.

Therefore, Su Quan chose to use seduction to ensure her safety, first keeping Gu Hanyuan calm, and then seizing the opportunity to escape.

She was confident that with her methods, she could still maintain her innocence while keeping Gu Hanyuan calm.

There were more than just one or two people in the Divine Dragon Cult who had designs on her.

None of those people had a good ending; they were all dealt with by Su Quan using his own methods without relying on Hong Antong.

From then on, the followers of the Divine Dragon Cult were terrified by her methods and no longer dared to covet her beauty. They didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye on ordinary days.

It's no wonder that Su Quan resorted to such a foolish tactic as seduction.

The earth-shattering battle in the palace had truly shocked her.

She unconsciously felt a subconscious fear of Gu Hanyuan.

It's like putting a person and a well-fed tiger in a cage.

Even if you know the tiger won't eat you, fear is still inevitable.
