Banshee Family Training Record

As he spoke, his emotions became slightly agitated: "This snake demon family is clearly not that powerful. My Great Jin Kingdom could easily crush them into dust with a little effort, yet we have dragged it out until now without resolving the issue. Isn't the reason that these unscrupulous merchants only care about themselves and not the country?"

Upon hearing this, the Princess of Jin's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, saying, "Good, good, good! Brother Yun's righteousness makes me feel ashamed of myself."

Yun Chu'an broke out in a cold sweat, but said modestly, "No, I was actually doing it for myself. The sooner the snake demon threat is eliminated, the sooner I can cultivate in peace."

Sheng Linglong smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, once those unscrupulous merchant families who have wreaked havoc in this area are punished, that day will come."

Yun Chu'an's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately connected it to the actions of the Gongsun family. He had this suspicion, but his face still showed confusion: "Brother Gao, do you have inside information?"

To this, the princess of Jin simply smiled and said nothing more: "...a man's intuition."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance, changing the subject: "Look, a golden sheep!"

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Yun Chu'an did not intend to press her further. Following her finger, he looked into the distance and saw, sure enough, a sheep covered in golden wool was standing on a hillside not far away, grazing.

“The Golden Sheep are bait that the Bull Demon King deliberately set up in this trial area,” she said. “These sheep are not physical entities, but creations of spiritual energy. The pure power within them could probably allow you to break through directly to the ninth level of Qi Refining.”

She turned to look at Yun Chuan and smiled, "Their strength is probably only around the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, so they are not easy to deal with."

"Furthermore, even if we manage to catch it, the process will likely consume a significant amount of spiritual energy, because this creature moves swiftly and is unaffected by the strong winds here," she added. "Do you have any ideas?"

Yun Chuan weighed the options carefully, then rubbed his hands together, his expression eager to try.

“I plan to try and catch it,” he said. “I’m not afraid of the cost; I have plenty of spirit stones in reserve, so the cost won’t be a problem.”

His eyes burned with fervor: "But I'm about to break through, and this might be an opportunity."

The princess of Jin looked at him calmly and said, "Alright, I'm not good at hunting, but I'll use a spell to help you. Go, and I wish you success!"

As she spoke, she silently recited a spell, and instantly a gentle breeze enveloped Yun Chu'an's body.

The oncoming gale no longer seemed to affect his movements. His face lit up with joy, and he said "Thank you." Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward and used the Shrinking Earth Technique to arrive in front of the golden sheep in the blink of an eye!

Golden lightning flashed across his body, and endless thunder propelled him forward, making him even faster.

Sheng Linglong's original intention was to see his strength. Upon seeing this, her eyes lit up. Just this speed alone was comparable to the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Could it be that Yun Chuan is not only a shrewd and far-sighted businessman, but also a gifted cultivator?

Is his combat talent also top-notch?

As she thought this, Yun Chu'an, who knew her identity, was determined to show off his excellence and was holding nothing back.

He rushed towards the golden ram and raised his large cleaver to strike. Sensing the danger, the ram leaped forward with all four legs, appearing beside him. Instead of running away, it lowered its head and rammed its horns into his side!

Chapter 253 My Jin Kingdom needs people like this!

Little did the golden sheep know, this was exactly what Yun Chu'an had planned. The princess had just warned him about the golden sheep's agility; how could he not be on guard? His attack was a feint; immediately afterward, a golden light shone from his body—he had become indestructible!

clang--

The golden ram's horns butted into him, and the immense force of the impact made him dizzy. He took a half step back, and Yun Chu'an immediately flipped over, his greatsword crackling with boundless lightning as he slashed at the creature!

"What-!"

The golden ram let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground. Its head and limbs rapidly turned into specks of light and vanished, while its wool continuously curled inward, eventually transforming into a huge, golden, wool-shaped mass that landed on the ground, no longer posing any threat.

One hit, instant kill.

Yun Chu'an breathed a sigh of relief, just as he heard applause from behind: "Congratulations!"

He turned his head and saw Sheng Linglong walking towards him with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration: "That strike was truly beautiful, clean and decisive, ending the battle without any hesitation!"

Yun Chu'an didn't know if she was sincere or how he was perceived by her. He simply said modestly, "It was just luck. Not only did the golden sheep not run away, it even dared to fight back. I sell Vajra Talismans, and my specialty is defense and counterattack. This was exactly what I wanted."

As he spoke, he looked at the golden wool, gritted his teeth, took out his spirit stone bag, and handed it to her: "Brother Gao, this golden sheep is what we hunted for practice, but I really need this golden wool to break through."

"I'll use these 20,000 spirit stones to buy your share. I hope you'll agree."

The princess was taken aback, then put on a stern face: "Brother Yun, don't be like this. I never intended to take this from you. We are friends, and we will have to help each other in the future. You're being so polite and distant over such a small matter. If you continue like this, I'll get angry!"

He pretended to be unhappy, and Yun Chu'an then added, "Brother Gao, don't misunderstand. This is not just a thank-you gift, but also a request for you to protect me."

“The road ahead is still long, but I want to go back to the forest we just left in first, break through to the next realm, and then continue our journey.” He continued, “This is already a great gain for me, but Brother Gao may miss many opportunities, so I think these spirit stones as compensation are very reasonable. If Brother Gao does not accept them, I will be too embarrassed to say it.”

He said this with genuine sincerity in his eyes. Sheng Linglong opened her mouth, only to find that his theory was perfectly self-consistent, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Yun Chu'an, he is so thoughtful and considerate.

Her gaze softened as she looked at him, her pupils sparkling, and she hesitated slightly.

Should we choose him to be the royal family's appointed red-hat merchant, who will then exclusively do business with the Jin royal family?

Thinking this through, she hesitated, bit her lower lip, and finally decided to be more cautious.

No, we can't see much yet. Although he is kind-hearted and considerate, we don't know if he is too kind-hearted, or if he can deal with those ruthless aristocratic families.

Moreover, his cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage. Although breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is not a problem for him, if he wants to consider such a thing, he must wait until he reaches the Golden Core stage, or until he is certain that he can break through to the Golden Core stage.

She calmed herself down and was just about to make a move when the grass rustled in the distance. Three cultivators dressed in gray robes came rushing over, panting heavily.

There were two men and one woman. One was obviously younger, very tall, bald, and muscular, clearly a body cultivator; the other was a thin, middle-aged man who squinted and darted around, constantly observing everything around him.

Another was a heavily made-up woman with bright red lipstick, playing with a golden needle in her hand, which was her hidden weapon, ready to ambush people at any time.

The three arrived, but when they saw the Golden Fleece in Yun Chu'an's hand, they were all taken aback. Then they stared at him with unfriendly expressions: "Fellow Daoist, this Golden Fleece was originally our prey. We chased it all the way here and finally exhausted its strength, but you just took it by surprise. Isn't that inappropriate?"

The burly man said in a deep voice, and then the middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Of course, we won't let you work for nothing. Twenty thousand spirit stones, let's make friends. Give us the Golden Fleece so that it doesn't look bad for anyone."

The two exchanged words in harmony, while the woman's eyes fell on Yun Chu'an. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "This fellow Daoist is handsome. I suppose he's not the stingy type? What I like most is to be friends with people like you."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, and she gave him a flirtatious wink, as if to seduce him.

Princess Jin squinted at the three men, a sense of disgust rising in her heart. However, she could also tell that the three men were all cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and on the surface, they were not easy to deal with for Gao Tianci and his companion.

She remained calm and watched Yun Chu'an perform. Then she saw the man's expression turn serious for a moment, and then he laughed: "The two of us finished hunting the golden sheep and have been standing here for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The three of you have only just arrived. With such speed and efficiency, you probably can't even catch a hair of the golden sheep. So don't say that this is your prey. You're just making a fool of yourselves here."

He spoke rudely, which made the three men's faces change color. The burly man clenched his fists: "What a big mouth! You just got lucky and got our prey, and you dare to be so arrogant?"

He took a step forward and deliberately released his Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation: "If you're a man, fight me. If you win, we'll let you go; but if you lose, the wool is ours!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man fixed his gaze on the large cleaver in Yun Chu'an's hand. After looking at it for a couple of seconds, his expression suddenly changed, and he gave the woman a wink.

The latter understood and realized that the weapon was extraordinary. He knew that if they continued to fight one-on-one according to the usual rules, he would probably not come out on top. So he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Second brother, calm down. There's no need to get angry and ruin your health. Fighting and killing is not good."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on the burly man's arm and gently squeezed it twice, thus conveying their secret signal.

The burly man squinted and nodded slightly, but at that moment, the woman suddenly turned around and flung her small hand away!

whoosh-

The golden needles, infused with deadly poison, pierced through the air. The woman said she didn't want to fight, but in reality, she was turning her back to Yun Chu'an to conceal her weapons, making it easier to launch a sneak attack from the front!

The golden needle flew swiftly, aimed directly at Yun Chu'an's throat. It was so despicable and vicious that even the princess of Jin was slightly taken aback. She couldn't believe that the three people who had been exchanging pleasantries just moments before would now harbor murderous intent!

Yun Chu'an, however, was prepared. His body suddenly transformed into lightning, flashing to the side and leaving only a blur in his place!

brush--

He perfectly dodged the golden needle, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and he roared, "Brother Gao, help me!"

Before he finished speaking, golden lightning rose from his body, transforming into golden, translucent bones that enveloped him!

He actually managed to dodge this sudden sneak attack. Despite being only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, his reaction surprised Sheng Linglong. It was as if she had seen a three- or four-year-old child who could easily lift a stone roller!

This wasn't a misjudgment on my part; he really is incredibly talented!

Thinking this, she didn't delay. She chanted an incantation and used the blessing spell she had just used. She leaped away to create distance, withdrew from the battlefield, and became a spectator.

Although the three people in front of her were at the ninth level of Qi Refining, they posed no threat to her. If she wanted to, she could turn the tide of the battle at any time.

Chapter 254 The Princess's Heart

But Sheng Linglong didn't intend to do that. She was looking forward to seeing what this man's true fighting strength was and what he would ultimately do.

Whether he is worthy of my royal family's full support or not.

She was filled with anticipation, while Yun Chu'an was also eager to demonstrate his strength. Now that the princess was watching from the sidelines, he had to consider whether this was his only chance in his life to showcase his literary and martial skills to the imperial family.

Therefore, he immediately put his technique into full power!

hum-

Endless lightning manifested on his body, the blinding golden light terrifying the three men. Yun Chu'an looked up at the three and chuckled softly, "Heh, so clever of you!"

The woman turned to look at him, only to find her triumphant move had missed its mark, leaving her secretly embarrassed and annoyed.

The burly man grinned maliciously and stepped forward: "You charlatan, you think you can scare us away with such a little trick?"

"Since you're unwilling to die peacefully, then let me show you what cruelty truly means!"

He grinned maliciously, his massive body tearing through the gale as he charged straight toward Yun Chu'an.

Yun Chu'an looked at him with utter contempt; he naturally had no fear of a body cultivator like him. He glanced at the gaunt middle-aged man behind him out of the corner of his eye, then brandished his Guan Dao and strode towards the burly man: "You're courting death!"

The moment he moved, the burly man's expression changed drastically. At that moment, he suddenly realized that Yun Chu'an's speed was even faster than his!

Even faster than him, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, who was a level higher!

His years of experience fighting on the brink of death made him stop immediately. He suddenly crossed his arms in front of him, and golden arm armor appeared on his forearms. In an instant, he switched from offense to defense: "You, make your move!"

He had no intention of showing off for the sake of saving face. When he realized that the other party's methods were strange and that he couldn't handle them, he immediately called for backup, took a half step back, and did not intend to fight head-on!

Unfortunately for him, Yun Chu'an was faster and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye, slashing down from above his head with his broadsword!

"Ah!"

The burly man roared, channeling his spiritual power, and sharp points of light appeared on his arm armor. It was his magical weapon for self-defense, but then, the guandao (a type of halberd) unleashed a torrent of lightning as it slashed down!

Behind them, the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman who were about to make their move both paled in shock: "What?!"

What did they see?

The arm armor they bought at great expense, which was said to be able to block even attacks from Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, shattered under Yun Chu'an's strike!

The arm armor shattered into pieces, and endless lightning surged into the burly man's body, causing him to involuntarily let out a painful roar: "Ugh—!"

He screamed in agony, his hair standing on end, and then the blade cleaved him in two!

The charred corpse fell to the ground; the man was beyond dead!

"Second brother!"

The middle-aged man's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he looked at Yun Chu'an with the gaze of a maddened beast: "You're asking for death!"

Before he finished speaking, a long sword had already appeared in his hand: "Third Sister, kill him!"

He roared fiercely, jumped forward, and waved his hand, his long sword flashing with several sword flowers.

However, when Yun Chu'an swung his knife again, the blinding golden lightning made the man's heart tremble.

He was consumed by rage and only wanted to avenge his second brother. But now that he was facing Yun Chu'an directly, he belatedly realized just how immense the pressure the man in front of him was!

It was like Mount Tai pressing down on him, leaving him no room to resist, and his heart was trembling!

Invincible!

No, we can't be fooled by his imposing manner!

There is a chance, there is still a chance. As long as Third Sister's poisoned needle can hit him even once, we can win and get our revenge!

Second brother, your elder brother will definitely avenge you!

His eyes were bloodshot, his nerves were on edge, and he circled around Yun Chuan, trying to flank him with his third sister.

Unfortunately, Yun Chu'an didn't fall for his trick at all. He ignored the guy completely, turned around abruptly, and the lightning on his body propelled him into a streak of lightning, rushing straight towards the woman in the distance!

The woman was aiming, preparing to strike, when she saw Yun Chu'an suddenly charging straight at her. She screamed, "Die—!"

She hastily shot out the golden needle in her hand, but with the fierce winds of the grassland blowing, the needle's accuracy was already poor. Moreover, Yun Chu'an was now empowered by multiple forces, and he easily dodged it with a slight movement. Then, with a backhand slash, he cleaved the woman in two on the spot!

His own third sister was instantly reduced to two charred pieces. The middle-aged man felt no anger or hatred, only a chilling coldness.

monster!

evildoer!

Throughout the entire process, Yun Chuan's spiritual energy fluctuations remained at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Even when he unleashed a devastating attack, the peak of his spiritual energy fluctuations did not change at all. This proved that he was a genuine eighth-level Qi Refining expert and not some Foundation Establishment expert pretending to be young!

Yet this person was able to kill his two brothers and sisters who were at the ninth level of Qi Refining. In front of him, they were like little chicks, unable to put up any resistance!

The middle-aged man couldn't think of any words to describe it other than monster or monster!
