Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Seeing her younger sister's excited expression, Cui Yuling sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Having learned that the Dongfang family was going to the Southern Kingdom, accompanied by people from the Wu Dynasty throughout the journey, and that humans and demons were currently in a generally peaceful environment.

Cuiyu Mingluan was the first to get restless and wanted to go to the Southern Kingdom to take a look.

It is said that medicine and poison are inseparable. For the leech demon clan, which is famous for its medical skills, the Southern Kingdom has always been a place of great allure.

Previously, there had never been any opportunity.

Now that she finally has the opportunity, and without having to worry about safety, Cui Yumingluan naturally doesn't want to miss it.

So he directly persuaded Cuiyu Xiaotan to take full responsibility as her caregiver, and also convinced the little girl to apply for the trip together.

And she, as a teacher.

It's my apprentice's first time doing long-term caregiving work, so naturally I have to be there to guide him.

On this basis, an application was submitted to Cui Yuling.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the leech demon clan had many things to do, Cui Yuling herself would have been quite eager to go on this trip.

Unfortunately, I simply didn't have the time.

"We don't have much to prepare, so please bring these along if you don't mind."

Tu Shan Honghong held a bracelet in her hand and handed it to Dongfang Huaizhu.

"There are some magical artifacts inside. Although we may not be able to use them, they will still be more convenient when we are out and about."

This is a storage artifact somewhat similar to the Endless Wine Jar.

But there are some minor differences.

It was created by Tu Shan after Lin Yu seized a large number of weapon-refining methods from the Li family in Taoyuan.

Compared to storage artifacts like the Endless Wine Jar and Li Quzhuo's Sword Box, which can only store a single item, this is a significant improvement.

The new storage artifact, after being tempered by pure Yang Flame, can now truly hold anything.

It's an absolute must-have for both travel and home life.

"Thank you."

Dongfang Huaizhu did not refuse; she simply smiled gently and accepted the gift.

"Regarding Pure Yang Flame, if the inventory in the warehouse runs out, just contact us directly, no matter when."

"I will have Huaizhu or Qinlan come back to supplement them."

Dongfang Guyue nodded to Lin Yu and spoke gently.

As long as the connection with Pure Yang Flame exists, the relationship with Tu Shan and Lin Yu will almost never be severed.

As a father, he can no longer protect his daughters, so he can only try his best to find other ways to help them.

Lin Yu smiled and agreed, then gently waved his hand at the group. A wisp of gray energy, like a cloud, enveloped them, flashed by, and quickly disappeared.

"The southern region is still in turmoil, and there may be some extremists."

"The Martial Alliance is not yet very strong. If the old manor lord goes there, it might provoke some people to seek revenge."

"I just left you with a safety net, which should be enough to last until we use the Thousand-Mile Pursuit Talisman."

Dongfang Guyue was not offended by Lin Yu's actions; on the contrary, she thanked him sincerely.

As for Lin Yu's claim that he insisted on using the Thousand-Mile Pursuit Talisman, that was simply him being modest.

With his newly acquired strength, this was the insurance he left for the group.

Even if Huan Du Qingtian were to unleash the power of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to break through in a short period of time.

In terms of security, it is more than sufficient.

Unless they offend the people of Aolai Kingdom, which is unlikely.

Everything was arranged and handled properly.

Under the watchful eyes of Lin Yu and the others, the figures of Dongfang Guyue and the others gradually disappeared into the distance.

"Stop looking! You already have three beautiful sisters by your side, aren't you satisfied?"

Seeing that the person had already walked away, Fengqi poked Lin Yu's waist with her elbow.

Tu Shan Honghong, standing to the side, listened to Feng Qi's somewhat reckless words, her expression remaining calm, though her fair face was flushed.

"What sisters? Don't spread rumors and make things up."

Tu Shan Ya Ya is as quick to anger as ever.

"Sister Honghong is mine, she has nothing to do with that guy!"

As he spoke, as if asserting sovereignty, he grabbed Tu Shan Hong Hong and held her tightly.

"You're right, aren't you, Rongrong, Rongrong?"

Just as Tu Shan Ya Ya was about to gain her sister's support, she turned around but found no one there. Then she saw Tu Shan Rong Rong standing silently beside Lin Yu, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she looked at her.

"Sorry, Sister Ya Ya, this time I'm on Brother Lin Yu's side."

Feng Qi snorted and looked at Tu Shan Ya Ya with disdain: "Miss Ya Ya is really smart. Keeping Miss Hong Hong by her side doesn't mean she doesn't acknowledge her relationship with Lin Yu."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Honghong looked down at Tu Shan Ya Ya.

Feeling her older sister's gaze, Tu Shan Ya Ya's face immediately turned red.

"What nonsense are you spouting? What gives you the right to slander someone's innocence? Who wants to associate with a guy like that?"

"It's a pity. I was planning to make hot pot tonight, but since Miss Ya Ya said such hurtful things, I guess I'll just skip it and not invite her."

Lin Yu touched his chin, his face full of regret.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Shan Ya Ya, who had been trying to defend herself, suddenly fell silent, her mouth agape like a thirsty fish.

After a long pause, she murmured softly, "If that's the case, then I'll sacrifice myself in place of my sister."

The sight of him speaking against his will made everyone burst into laughter.

After seeing off Dongfang Huaizhu's family, Lin Yu's life returned to its previous tranquility.

Cultivation is the most urgent task.

Especially recently, Tu Shan Ya Ya has somehow set her sights on the peaches he obtained from the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom through a bribe.

If I don't start using this for cultivation soon, this greedy girl might secretly show it all off one day.

He really has nowhere to cry.

It's not that I'm reluctant to give it up, but we're at a critical juncture for promotion, and time is really tight.

In the secret room.

Lin Yu sat cross-legged on a futon, a peach the size of a human head emitting a delicate fragrance in his hand.

I don't know how long ago these peaches were picked. They've been sitting for so long, yet they still look exactly the same, as if they were just picked.

Lin Yu held the huge peach, hesitated for a moment, and remembered that the Six-Eared Macaque also held it and ate it in the same way.

They immediately began to feast.

I just took my first bite.

A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the peach.

The aroma of peaches in the entire secret room instantly became many times stronger.

Sweet juice bursts out between the lips and teeth.

That exquisite flavor made one momentarily lose their senses.

Even though Lin Yu's culinary skills are quite high and he is extremely picky about food.

I was also momentarily stunned by the smell.

But then Lin Yu discovered that compared to its function, the so-called taste was really insignificant.

As the spiritual energy within the peach surged forth, a heat current, quite similar to that experienced during a system upgrade, suddenly appeared within Lin Yu's body.

This warm current kept washing over my body, as if thousands of tiny hands were massaging me.

Feeling this comfortable sensation, Lin Yu didn't have the mind to fully enjoy it.

Instead, he quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

Soon, as Lin Yu cultivated, the heat flowing through his body, seemingly trying to find and expel impurities, was quickly absorbed.

At the same time, a familiar system notification sounded in Lin Yu's ear.

[You have diligently practiced the Crystal Visualization Technique and gained some insight; your proficiency has increased by 16!]

[You have diligently practiced the Ten Perfections Martial Arts and gained some insights; your proficiency has increased by 16!]

'hiss. '

Looking at the notifications flashing on his system panel, Lin Yu gasped.

Isn't the effect of this peach a bit too exaggerated?

Even if I cultivate using the internal energy of a Great Demon King, I can only increase it by about a quarter.
