Karmic Fortune Increased

"Given a probability of success, the likelihood of it happening will inevitably increase significantly!"

Emerging from the Mount Li, Zhang Xuezhou performed a ritual with both hands.

He had previously tried to use his Aging Technique repeatedly without success, unable to age his body which had been rejuvenated by consuming the Longevity Fruit. Now, however, he was able to transform himself with ease.

When the familiar face appeared before Liu Xuan, he still couldn't believe it.

"Cousin, do you have a chance of reaching your True Self?"

"There's absolutely no chance right now!"

The Aging Technique is Technique Method that Zhang Xuezhou has used for many years, and his level is already quite high. He could advance further if needed, but it is truly impossible for him to break through to the True Self Realm at present.

"I need to check on Xiao Huo's condition first, and then find my martial uncle to see how to use these two beads. Only then can I plan my cultivation level and refine my Technique Method!"

The array artifacts of the Yin-Yang Secret Land are two precious pearls. Zhang Xuezhou's expertise in array formations is well-known. He is adept at destroying large arrays, Principle is his weakness. He will not act recklessly at the moment, but will seek a safe and secure solution to proceed.

The matter will not be difficult for Zhang Xuezhou.

After asking Rong Tianding for a set of cloth clothes, Zhang Xuezhou quickly removed the silks and satins from his body to avoid being mistaken for a pervert when he entered Chang'an City.

What do you want with Xiao Huo?

Liu Xuan's expression was solemn. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou shouldn't visit a child when his luck was at its peak.

Liu Xuan could understand why Zhang Xuezhou was visiting his own child, but he couldn't understand why Zhang Xuezhou was visiting someone else's child.

He felt a sense of anxiety, almost wishing he could see the beings like Houtu that Zhang Xuezhou had mentioned immediately.

"Liu Xuan, do you have any ideas to help? Regardless of whether Xiao Huo's cultivation is stable or whether he has real strength, try your best to push his cultivation into the Sole Self Realm," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Pursuing higher realms without real strength will make you useless," Liu Xuan frowned and said. "You can't just let children cause trouble!"

"There are very few cultivators in the world at the Sole Self Realm who are truly useless!"

Zhang Xuezhou agreed with Liu Xuan's point of view, but he did not think that cultivators who only possessed a certain realm were useless. Even if there were some great cultivators whose realm did not match their strength, these great cultivators were still towering mountains that ordinary people could never see the end of in their entire lives.

For example, the powerful Prefect Wen Weng was still a prefect of the Great Han Dynasty, no matter how weak he was. He was an indispensable talent for the Great Han Dynasty to control the southwest, and even now, no one can replace him.

Even if Huo Qubing was weak when he entered the Sole Self Realm, he could still suppress cultivators two realms lower. If he could enter the True Self Realm, he could kill cultivators in the Divine Ability Realm.

If placed among Huo Qubing's contemporaries, the opponent would be invincible and able to infiltrate the high-level cultivator group.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't think that raising one's cultivation level would be a waste. Reaching this level of cultivation was almost like taking it one step at a time, and he would definitely seize any opportunity that came his way.

He has come this far by seizing every opportunity.

"It's not up to me, and it's not up to you either. Why don't we ask Xiao Huo?" Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "If you have a solution, then bring it out and we can work together!"

"Okay," Liu Xuan nodded, "But I need to know your purpose in doing this!"

"My cultivation journey has been a bumpy one, and I've encountered some tricky problems that require me to refer to the cultivation methods of other cultivators," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Xiao Huo is my most important case study!"

"You actually placed your hopes for breaking through to the True Self Realm on a child?"

Liu Xuan found it hard to believe Zhang Xuezhou's motives; after all, it was unreliable to place the hope of breaking through cultivation levels on a child.

But he had to believe this fact: Huo Qubing, at the age of thirteen, was already a cultivator at the Divine Ability Realm. This speed of cultivation at such a young age even surpassed that of the Emperor Qin back then, not to mention him.

Even emperors could not achieve this level of spiritual progress. Huo Qubing was indeed helped by someone behind the scenes, who even paid a great price to promote his spiritual practice.

Liu Xuan fell silent, simply following Zhang Xuezhou and the others as they rode the wind.

"Those golden dragons almost covered the Chang'an City. Each one was as thick as a pillar of our city gate, its scales shimmering with golden light, and its roar was like a thunderclap!"

"The dragon and phoenix bring good fortune; those scholars all say His Majesty is the chosen one!"

"The Xiong State on the west bank of the Yellow River are fleeing for their lives, and we've won another victory on the border!"

"I heard that several thousand Xiong State were beheaded at Yanmen Pass, their heads hung in rows!"

"This is truly an auspicious sign from heaven!"

Ordinary people are busy making a living every day, and they are very slow to obtain information. Few people chat about national affairs; they talk more about trivial matters such as neighborhood gossip.

However, in these years, Confucian School, in cooperation with the imperial court, has been continuously promoted, making almost every region aware of the major events in the world.

One incident after another was brought up, and many people recounted them vividly as if they were witnessing the events firsthand.

Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the mansion with his men without making a scene, because he needed to bring people with him to find Huo Qubing.

"Master Dong has a deep understanding of Xiao Huo's cultivation and can explain the integration of Confucian School Refining Techniques into the Nascent Soul stage. An Ran can assist me in transitioning him to the Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique. From Xiao Huo to Master Dong Master Dong, then to An Ran, and finally to me!"

Ren Anran mentioned that Dong Zhongshu preached at the Confucius Temple of Confucius, Temple of Confucius was close to his old residence in Old Tree Alley. Zhang Xuezhou led the group from West Market into Old Tree Alley.

"Teacher?"

Before even reaching No. 17 Old Tree Alley, Zhang Xuezhou looked Zou Bugui walking out with someone arm in arm, then hailing a carriage at the intersection.

Zhang Xuezhou had a moment of doubt, but then quickly realized what was going on.

"Uncle-Master, you really can't change your ways!"

There's only one person in the world who can Zou Bugui, but such an arm-in-arm is more likely to be a bad situation.

Zhang Xuezhou slipped and leaped more than ten zhang away.

With just three steps, he quickly approached the two people by the roadside.

As his gaze swept across the room, Zhang Xuezhou saw Jin Chang's face as he approached Zou Bugui.

He didn't care what had happened between Jin Chang and Zou Bugui. He focused his control over speed and slowness, and then flicked three fingers towards Jin Chang's right arm.

"Nephew!"

Jin Chang's astonishment and counterattack were as swift as he had imagined; a deep purple Law Power light instantly illuminated almost his entire arm.

Before Jin Chang could even release the puppet string from his left hand, Zhang Xuezhou's left hand also grabbed it.

When the two collided, Jin Chang's Law Power shone brightly, accompanied by muffled groans from both of them almost simultaneously.

"You... you..."

In the brief moment of contact, Jin Chang's hands were almost crippled.

His face showed shock and disbelief. He had just hunched over the ground when he felt an excruciating pain in his groin, as if he had been kicked to pieces. His face contorted in agony, and he was unable to use any Technique Method.

"Uncle-Master, it's been years since we last met. Aside from your cultivation reaching the True Self seem to have made no other progress!"

With three fingers, Jin Chang's right hand was broken, making it difficult for Jin Chang to entangle the puppet silk. The left hand grabbed and restrained Jin Chang's left hand. By the time Zhang Xuezhou added a kick, Jin Chang had suffered three consecutive defeats.

Zhang Xuezhou is poor at close combat, but Jin Chang, who relies on Puppet Technique, is even worse.

If Jin Chang cannot use the puppet silk to restrain his opponent, his martial arts skills are utterly pathetic.

It's not that Jin Chang isn't improving, but rather that Jin Chang Puppet Technique and puppetry are so perfectly coordinated that they've become almost instinctive. When his Puppet Technique is broken, he performs worse than an ordinary person.

"Impossible! I am True Self Realm cultivator, one of the strongest cultivators in the history of the Yin-Yang School! I cannot be defeated by you!"

The intense pain in his lower body caused Jin Chang's back to arch, but he couldn't move his right hand, and his left hand was held down by Zhang Xuezhou, so he couldn't even use both hands to hold his lower body to alleviate the pain.

The torment of pain surged into his heart, and even though Jin Chang was not afraid of the torment, he was instantly covered in cold sweat.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou in disbelief. Faced with the choice between the King of Huainan and heeding Zhang Xuezhou's advice, Jin Chang chose the former after experiencing various events in Shouchun City.

But he never expected his choice would lead to such a terrible outcome.

After being ambushed by Zhang Xuezhou, he fell to the ground again, even faster than before.
