After nearly ten years of waiting, Ren Anran has combined various cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang School and summarized and even deduced Realm Technique leading to the True Self Realm. Whether Zhang Xuezhou can succeed in cultivation depends on repeated attempts based on the information.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't seek breakthroughs at the last minute; instead, he manipulated the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle as instructed by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

He held the nearly human-sized Yin-Yang Qi bottle in his palm and shook it back and forth.

Just like the Purple-Gold Gourd he used in his early years, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle can also hold things, except that what comes out of the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle is wastewater and residue.

Liu Xuan reached out and threw in a pebble. Zhang Xuezhou slowly moved his left hand toward the Yin-Yang Bottle held in his right hand. Multiple forces extended the Law Power, and the Yin-Yang Bottle spun like a top in his right hand.

At first, a faint sound of pebbles colliding could be heard from inside the bottle, but later the sound completely disappeared.

What are you still missing?

From the initial vibrations of the pebbles within the Yin-Yang Bottle to their current steady control and dissolution, Zhang Xuezhou's skill in manipulating the Yin-Yang Bottle has improved at an alarming rate.

Liu Xuan picked up a pebble and tossed it back into the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, inevitably asking further questions.

He was cooperating with Zhang Xuezhou in everything he did, and he wanted to witness it as soon as possible to see how Zhang Xuezhou would act.

"I still have half a month left!"

Zhang Xuezhou slowly and steadily shook the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.

If one considers oneself as the bottle, and the yin and yang energies within the bottle represent the two Realm Technique of the Yin-Yang School, then his hand-controlled shaking is an adjustment and fusion, gathering the yin and yang energies into a single force, thereby turning the pebble into ash.

"What will you do in half a month?" Liu Xuan pressed.

"Treat the illness!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief response.

Zhang Xuezhou needs to be in top form to reach his True Self Realm.

He is exceptionally capable, but the effects of the "locking yang" technique in his body have not been completely removed, and he still needs Yi Shuo to unseal it.

By combining the simulations provided by the Yin-Yang Two-Qi Bottle, Zhang Xuezhou's many shortcomings were gradually overcome.

There was still a lack of time. If possible, Zhang Xuezhou would certainly like to enter the True Self Realm during this time travel cycle, thereby providing a practical foundation for his real self.

However, removing the last 20% of the body's yin energy cannot be solved by simply saying a few words; it requires Yi Shuo's painstaking and continuous treatment.

With Ren Anran's assistance and the help of elixirs, Yi Shuo is currently seeking to break through to the Sole Self Realm in order to provide Zhang Xuezhou with the best treatment.

Everything was progressing smoothly, including Zhu Jiuyin's explanation of the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture and the Yang Corporeal Soul Transformation Technique.

With Ren Anran informing him in Hongjun's name, Zhu Jiuyin cooperated fully. Apart from the Empress Dowager's extremely abnormal expression, there were no other problems.

"Uncle-Master, you arrived a little slower than I expected!"

Zhang Xuezhou melted three more pebbles before speaking to someone nearby.

As Liu Xuan looked surprised, a person emerged from the shadows next to Zhang Xuezhou's chair and stood beside Zhang Xuezhou as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem~"

Jin Chang's face was flushed, and when he took out the three pill bottles, he couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Uncle-Master, your strength is lacking," Zhang Xuezhou said, "You've left several trails behind!"

"I Wu Bei when I was retrieving the elixir, and I was poisoned by Li Shang and then struck by Mao Bei, which slowed me down a bit," Jin Chang said through gritted teeth. "The King of Huainan's Household's Mansion in Chang'an City must be watching me now!"

"They've got their eyes on me too!"

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged, indicating that Jin Chang's actions were unethical, allowing the King of Huainan's Household to uncover the source of the problem.

"It's my fault," Jin Chang said, bowing his head.

"Our lousy school of thought is worthless. You don't need to be caught in the middle. I've already thought of a way to pass on our knowledge so that our school won't die out in the future," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said. "You can report back to the King of Huainan. I look forward to meeting you!"

"Master, you..."

"They're discussing a pretty good technique in that room over there. Martial Uncle, you could go listen in; you never know when you might need to use it!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to where Zhu Jiuyin and the others were, and Jin Chang's face turned pale and red.

Jin Chang accomplished what Zhang Xuezhou had arranged, but not quite quite. He was walking a tightrope between the King of Huainan's Household and the Yin-Yang School, trying to appease both sides.

Some people can walk a tightrope and please both sides, but Jin Chang clearly cannot.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about the potential troubles, after all, he had already planned to find the King of Huainan.

His residence was small, but it was truly a safe haven. As long as the fake Red Empyrean Sword hung in the main hall, no one dared to cause trouble, not even the King of Huainan.

Zhang Xuezhou was safe in the mansion, even if he lay in bed for the next fifteen days.

"The Yin-Yang Secret Pill is excellent!"

He touched the bottle, and after opening the sealed cork, Zhang Xuezhou saw eighteen pills the size of beans inside.

These pills are small in size, dark in color with a golden sheen, and belong to the Outer Core.

According to Li Shaojun, this quality of Outer Core belongs to the top grade.

As long as it has a positive impact on advancing one's cultivation level, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't care about the toxic side effects of the Yin-Yang Secret Pill. After all, those who have entered the Saintly realm in terms of physical body possess the strongest resistance in the Three Realms, and their endurance far exceeds that of ordinary people. There's no way that Jin Chang can't take the pills he can't.

Zhang Xuezhou even took a Yin-Yang Secret Pill and put it in his mouth, slowly experiencing its effects.

"Zhang Qian is back!"

When someone from the King of Huainan's Household across the street came carrying a large gong and a heavy hammer, shouting to announce the news from the surrounding area, Zhang Xuezhou suddenly remembered a friend from many years ago.

"Has Wu Chao also come to Chang'an City?"

Zhang Qian was sent as an Western Regions to seek an alliance with the Greater Yuezhi Kingdom to jointly attack the Xiong State.

The Greater Yuezhi Kingdom was being chased like a rabbit by the Xiong State and kept retreating westward. The answer to this matter was already known before Zhang Qian's mission.

Zhang Xuezhou once Wu Chao to take care of Zhang Qian, and Wu Chao also infiltrated Zhang Qian's mission as a guide to the Western Regions.

Wu Chao once mentioned that Zhang Qian was enjoying good food and drink in the Xiong State, and even married a wife and settled down. Zhang Xuezhou once thought that the matter was over, but he did not expect that Zhang Qian would come back.

Could something have happened in the Xiong State?

Whatever happens in the Xiong State has almost no impact on Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Qian's return to Chang'an City is of little significance to him, but Wu Chao's arrival in Chang'an City Zhang Xuezhou be related.

Considering his current extremely prosperous fortune and such a clear reminder, it would be considered slow-witted of Zhang Xuezhou to ignore it.

Regardless of the situation, Zhang Xuezhou felt he could go over and see what was going on.

He reached out and gently placed the three bottles of Yin-Yang Secret Pills that Jin Chang had brought back into his Lesser Heaven and Earth Bag.

"Why would you go and join in the fun at a time like this?"

He stormed into the Emperor Qin's Mausoleum and fought with the Emperor Qin, then gathered the high-ranking officials of the Great Han Dynasty to push Huo Qubing into the Sole Self Realm, thus paving the way for his own True Self Realm.

Liu Xuan was surprised that Zhang Xuezhou would still be interested in watching the excitement at a time like this, and actually followed the sound of gongs and drums to go out and join in the fun.

He truly found it difficult to understand Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou's behavior, his thought process, and why such a person could force the Emperor Qin to back down.

Based on the education Liu Xuan received, he didn't even believe that someone like Zhang Xuezhou could succeed.

"Don't stay cooped up at home, you can go out and have some fun!"

Liu Xuan called out, and Zhang Xuezhou's response lingered in his ears before disappearing outside the mansion.

"If he succeeds, wouldn't that mean my past education was a failure?"

While observing the inspection on behalf of the Emperor Qin, Liu Xuan would also reflect on his own actions.

There is certainly no single way to succeed in the world, but Zhang Xuezhou's behavior is almost the opposite of the education Liu Xuan received, even though Zhang Xuezhou's network of connections is from the bottom up, which is completely opposite to the superior-subordinate relationship of the royal family.

Liu Xuan truly couldn't understand all of this.
