Chapter 71 Background

"Yu Yan, do you want to break through?"

"Can I do it too?"

"certainly."

Li Mo pulled Wang Yuyan up, walked into the room, sat cross-legged on the couch, and their palms faced each other.

With a thought, an extremely small wisp of true essence transformed into true qi, which was then tempered by true fire, becoming even smaller, and then transmitted through the palm to Wang Yuyan's meridians.

The two already had experience in joint cultivation, so their work went extremely smoothly.

Wang Yuyan sensed the true energy in her dantian and felt that it was perfectly compatible with her, without any discomfort.

This is the true energy of the Lesser Formless Skill. I never expected that the true energy simulated by Li Langju would be the same as the internal energy I cultivated myself!

This is amazing!

It's important to understand that even with the same cultivation method, different people will develop different results, each naturally possessing its own unique characteristics.

A person who appears foolish but is actually wise possesses a profound inner strength; a person who is clever and quick-witted possesses a more vibrant inner strength.

When your personality and training methods are compatible, you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort.

But now, this pattern has been broken.

Is this due to the wonder of the Lesser Formless Skill, or to Li Lang's innate talent?

She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have time to think about it.

As that wisp of innate true energy merges into the dantian, the internal energy cultivated by oneself gathers there and merges into that wisp of true energy.

Once all her internal energy was integrated, the true energy in her dantian had grown considerably stronger.

With a thought, this wisp of true energy obediently began to circulate within the meridians.

As her inner energy flowed through her, she felt an extremely comfortable sensation rising in her body, and even her soul felt a warm, comforting feeling.

One cycle of practice is as efficient as several hours of regular cultivation.

So fast!

"I'm currently in the Acquired Realm, but my body contains Innate True Qi. What realm am I in?"

Just then, Li Mo said, "Alright, stop cultivating."

Wang Yuyan opened her eyes and looked at Li Mo with a puzzled expression.

Li Mo: "You are not a congenital expert, so you cannot absorb external energy. When you cultivate, you can only refine your own essence. One cycle a day is the limit. If you continue to cultivate, you will be depleted of qi and blood."

Wang Yuyan's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to save a lot of time?"

The thought of having more time to spend with Li Mo made her happy.

"Okay." Li Mo nodded. "Use the extra time to practice martial arts such as palm techniques and swordsmanship. Internal strength alone is not enough."

Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes: "Yes."

Why has Li Lang turned into a block of wood at this moment?!

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Li Mo stop and pull him close.

Wang Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nestled into his arms.

early morning.

The sun shone warmly, and Murong Manor was bathed in the morning light.

As soon as Li Mo woke up, he sensed a familiar footstep, and a figure appeared in his mind.

"Yu Yan, wake up, your mother is here!"

Wang Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, "My mother's here! So fast?"

The next moment, a familiar voice rang out from outside.

"Li Mo, Yu Yan, come out here!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Upon seeing the two lying together, Li Qingluo's expression turned extremely ugly!

"Mother!"

Li Qingluo sneered, "So you still know how to call me 'mother'! What, now you're not saying I'm defying the heavens?"

Wang Yuyan felt ashamed when she recalled the letter she left behind before she departed.

I was angry at the time, and it felt really good to write it.

Now, being questioned by her mother to her face, she was speechless.

Li Mo asked, puzzled, "Yu Yan, what do you mean by defying the heavens?"

Wang Yuyan said awkwardly, "Um—we'll talk about it later."

He looked at Li Qingluo.

"Mother, Li Lang and I are already together, you can't take him from me anymore!"

Li Qingluo sneered, "What do you mean 'I'm fighting you for it'? In terms of first come, first served!"

Wang Yuyan was taken aback and looked at Li Mo, only to see that he had already looked elsewhere.

Okay!

Li Lang is so wicked!

She couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Li Mo's waist.

Li Qingluo was even more displeased when she saw this.

"Get up, I have something to say."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Wang Yuyan shook Li Mo and said, "Li Lang, shall we run away?"

"Let's go see her." Li Mo hugged Wang Yuyan. "Don't worry, I'm here!"

Considering Li Mo's strength, Wang Yuyan felt relieved.

After getting dressed and stepping out of the room, I saw Li Qingluo sitting in the courtyard.

"Madam, it's been a long time."

"Hmph, it's only been a day or two." Li Qingluo sized up Li Mo, her many grievances vanishing in an instant. "I didn't expect you to be so bold, actually managing to kidnap Yu Yan!"

Wang Yuyan protested, "It was I who abducted Li Lang, Mother, you mustn't slander him."

Li Qingluo looked Wang Yuyan up and down: "So alike, so incredibly alike!"

"Like what?" Wang Yuyan asked, puzzled.

Li Qingluo: "You look a lot like your mother."

Wang Yuyan: "————"

Something about that sounds weird.

Li Qingluo: "Actually, I'm not your biological mother."

Wang Yuyan: "Mother, are you saying this in anger?"

"No." Li Qingluo shook her head and looked at Li Mo. "Li Lang should have been mentally prepared for this."

Li Mo nodded.

Li Qingluo sighed and began to recount the past.

"Eighteen years ago, when I first entered the world of martial arts, your great-aunt, no, I should say your maternal grandmother—"

Wang Yuyan frowned slightly: "Grandma?"

Li Qingluo nodded: "She is the younger sister of my maternal grandmother, whom I told you about before. She came to our door and gave me a baby girl."

Was that baby girl me?

Li Qingluo nodded: "Mm."

Wang Yuyan: "Then who is my father?"

Li Qingluo: "It's Wang Yan from the Wang family. Eighteen years ago, Wang Yan accepted a mission to investigate enemy positions in the Khitan and never returned. Your mother missed him so much that she fell ill and passed away not long after giving birth to you. Your maternal grandmother was worried about the Wang family, so she entrusted you to me and obtained some property from the Wang family to raise you."

Wang Yuyan's eyes reddened slightly: "Is my father dead?"

Li Qingluo shook her head: "I don't know, he's probably dead. Although the martial arts masters of the Khitan are not as good as those of the Central Plains, they should not be underestimated. For a man from the Central Plains to go to the Khitan to scout the enemy, his chances of survival are slim."

Li Mo pondered, "Yu Yan's maternal grandmother suspects that the Wang family used someone else to kill Wang Yan?"

Li Qingluo nodded: "That's true. If Wang Yan hadn't died, he would have been very likely to inherit the position of head of the Wang family, and they might have harmed him."

"If there's such a suspicion, wouldn't it be dangerous for Grandma to leave me in Jiangnan?"

"Hmph. The Wang family might dare to harm your father, but they might not dare to harm you." Li Qingluo said proudly. "You should know that you are the successor of the Xiaoyao Sect, your maternal grandmother. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to have any improper thoughts."

"The Free and Unfettered Sect?" Wang Yuyan asked, puzzled. She had never heard of this sect before.

Li Qingluo explained, "The Xiaoyao Sect is a reclusive Taoist sect, and its founder, Xiaoyaozi, is an unparalleled expert. According to your grandmother, the founder may very well have already broken through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal."

Wang Yuyan was shocked: "A realm of immortals on land?"

As the daughter of a martial arts family, she knew all too well the power of this level.

This is a pillar of strength for the nation.

Without a powerful being at the terrestrial immortal level to suppress them, they can't be considered a strong nation at all.

Li Qingluo nodded: "Yes. Of course, this is just your grandmother's guess, but there is no doubt that Ancestor Xiaoyaozi was already a Celestial Realm expert many years ago."
