Chapter 186: Everything Stays the Same!

Li Qingluo also understood that they were family now, so it was inappropriate for her to dwell on anything.

Dao Baifeng had already taken the initiative to toast her; what more could she say?

After three cups went down, it seemed all previous grievances vanished entirely within those three drinks.

The two women exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with relief.

Seeing that they were getting along harmoniously, Yu Xian felt relieved and prepared for his seclusion.

He still had two Fusion opportunities left!

However, he had to do them one by one, and since returning this time, he wouldn’t be going out temporarily.

This was because Huang Rong’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the time he spent traveling outside was particularly long.

If he left now, by the time he returned, he would probably miss the child’s birth.

Therefore, he planned to use both remaining Cultivation Technique Fusion opportunities at home to see if he could achieve a Breakthrough to the Land Immortal Realm.

If he succeeded, he would have more confidence when going out to sign in, and he wouldn’t fear those Old Monsters who had survived for so long.

This time, he intended to fuse the Swordsmanship first, followed by the Lightness Skill.

Although he knew many Palm Techniques, like the recently acquired Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms which was quite good, he was still accustomed to using a sword.

Even though he had already reached the state of ‘no sword surpasses the sword,’ he still preferred the sword.

Now, in the familiar seclusion space, the pain from the previous Cultivation Technique Fusion was still vivid in Yu Xian’s memory.

He hadn’t even started fusing yet, but he already felt his body beginning to ache.

Yet, he had no choice but to continue fusing Cultivation Techniques.

He just didn’t know if this time would be like the last, twisting his body violently.

Yu Xian organized his thoughts, then focused entirely and began fusing the Cultivation Techniques: Lone Nine Swords, Bie Xie Swordplay, and Six Veins Divine Sword.

He wanted to see if he could combine them into a Swordsmanship that offered both offense and defense, with even sharper Sword Qi.

After all, Six Veins Divine Sword was a technique that converted finger strength into Sword Qi, so using it with a sword should also be effective.

After confirming the Fusion, the familiar three types of True Qi churned within his body.

Yu Xian gritted his teeth and endured, daring not to complain about the System again.

Mainly because after he complained last time, A Zhu, Wang Yu Yan, and A Bi hadn’t produced anything particularly special.

Fortunately, after he later visited Langhuan Blessed Land, the System’s mood improved.

Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss!

So this time, he absolutely dared not complain secretly.

After a long period of agony, the Swordsmanship finally fused successfully.

It truly merged into a Swordsmanship that offered both offense and defense, allowing the user to unleash Sword Qi whether holding a sword or not.

Yu Xian named it the Nine Revolutions Profound Sky Sword Technique.

The previous Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique he fused was called Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill, so he was too lazy to pick a new name and simply reused the previous technique’s name.

This was partly because Lone Nine Swords also contained the character ‘Nine’.

He felt he was truly incapable of naming things (in reality, it was the author who was incapable), so he didn’t bother arguing about it; as long as the technique was useful, that was enough!

He still hadn’t achieved a Breakthrough, but his power accumulation had increased significantly.

Yu Xian wondered what the trigger for a Breakthrough was.

However, after recovering this time, he didn’t have that surge of evil fire from last time that required him to find someone to release it into.

Yu Xian speculated that the previous Cultivation Technique Fusion involved Nine Yang Divine Skill and Innate Skill, both being pure Yang techniques, while the Nine Yin Manual countered them, leading to an excessive buildup of Yang Qi that caused him to feel burning hot.

This time, the Swordsmanship was different.

But… Yu Xian recalled the question The Women had asked him before he went into seclusion:

If he had the same situation this time during his seclusion, would they need to prepare?

Last time, they were caught unprepared, which resulted in a messy situation for everyone in the end.

What had Yu Xian said back then?

He didn’t know, perhaps the same problem would occur, so he told them all to prepare.

It could be imagined that as soon as he emerged from seclusion, they would be waiting for his arrival…

So, did he want the same situation as last time?

Although last time was an unexpected event, that feeling… he was still savoring it!

Under normal circumstances, it was hard for him to gather so many people!

After all, although The Women at home doted on him, they didn’t allow him to act recklessly in every way.

Yu Xian smacked his lips; no, if this time couldn’t be like last time, it would be hard for him to find an opportunity to gather everyone!

Therefore, he decided: everything stays the same!

With that, he circulated his power to make his Dantian burn hotly, and the evil fire instantly surged into a certain part of him!

He couldn’t do it any other way; The Women at home were too smart.

If this time differed from the last, they would definitely notice, his plan would fall through, and there would absolutely be no next time!

When Yu Xian felt his body was ready, he flashed out of his seclusion spot and headed straight for the bedroom Ning Zhongze had already prepared.

Having experience, the preparations were naturally quite thorough.

Thus, without arousing suspicion, Yu Xian experienced a joyous affair once more.

Fortunately, The Women had experience this time; only Dao Baifeng was tricked into going first.

This was actually a prank by Li Qingluo, who laughed heartily after succeeding.

Only after Yu Xian severely disciplined her did she shake hands and make peace with Dao Baifeng.

Huang Rong was still responsible for all the arrangements.

There was no choice; her condition didn’t permit otherwise.

However, this time she didn’t wait outside; after making the arrangements, she returned to her own courtyard, preferring not to see it.

Afterward, Yu Xian still went to Huang Rong’s courtyard.

The first thing Huang Rong said nearly made Yu Xian lose his composure: “You seem a little different this time.”

Yu Xian could only play it off: “It is a bit different; I have experience now.

But the harvest was still huge.

Last time I researched a new Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique, this time it’s a Swordsmanship.

When the child is born, you also need to raise your strength.”

“Oh, I thought you were pretending, just to gather everyone together for fun,” Huang Rong said meaningfully.

“No!” Yu Xian reacted quickly.

“Who knows? But you are right; the sisters’ strength has improved quickly, I need to work hard too,” Huang Rong said languidly.

Yu Xian:…

“I really didn’t,” Yu Xian explained again.

“If you say it again, it starts to sound like an attempt to cover up,” Huang Rong kept smiling.

She was the clearest-headed person during both instances and naturally perceived the abnormality.

But even knowing it, she didn’t expose Yu Xian, as she wasn’t participating in it anyway.

Yu Xian:…

The Women in the house being too smart put a lot of pressure on him!

“I received news—the incident at the Beggars Sect headquarters in Luoyang, was that your doing?” Huang Rong asked.

Although on the surface, Qiao Feng used martial force to suppress them, making Bai Shijing, Quan Guanging, and Kang Min confess their crimes, how did Qiao Feng know about the secret dealings between them?

Moreover, how did he know to start with Bai Shijing to directly dismantle the relationship between several people?

And Elder Xu even hanged himself afterward.

Huang Rong suspected Yu Xian’s hand was involved in all of this.

“Sister Rong, why are you so smart? That’s right, I told Qiao Feng about those matters between them.

I also informed him about Bai Shijing’s internal struggle, and that starting with him was the best approach.

I also told him the method to get Bai Shijing to talk,” Yu Xian stated plainly, without any hint of pride.
