Chapter 6

Late at night, Zhao Yun left his room.

Before leaving, he glanced at the Moon Goddess in his consciousness, his eyes somewhat strange.

In the future, if he really did something with Liu Ruxin, wouldn't this woman be able to watch it live?

Thinking about it this way, it was quite awkward.

"I still have some dignity."

The Moon Goddess glanced at Zhao Yun. He was young, but he had a lot of heart!

Zhao Yun chuckled and sat under the old tree.

Then, he stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth and began to practice the Muscle Cleansing and Bone Marrow Washing Classic.

Crack! Crack!

Immediately, he heard the sound of his body cracking, with a low, muffled roar, repeatedly.

He was doing two things at once, cultivating his body while also practicing the Primordial Heavenly Thunder Technique.

This technique was profound, occasionally producing a thunderous aura, with a fierce and dominant nature, complementing his body cultivation perfectly.

"Be careful not to go into a trance."

The Moon Goddess reminded him, thinking that this little guy was indeed bold, practicing two techniques simultaneously, which could interfere with each other, and a moment of inattention could lead to serious problems, such as going into a trance.

Zhao Yun did not respond.

As the young master of the Zhao family, he was exceptionally talented and could handle doing two things at once.

After all, he only had three months.

The Zhao family's descendants were not just the likes of Zhao Kang; there were many outstanding individuals. To catch up with them in just three months would be quite difficult, which was why he could not afford to relax for a moment.

"Do the Mortal World never have rain?"

The Moon Goddess was bored, and she had already muttered this phrase countless times.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhao Yun finally stood up.

For a long time, he did not move, but his body was filled with surging true essence, flowing into his major meridians.

"Venerable Dragon."

He heard a light command in his heart, took a step forward, and struck a palm forward.

The palm was powerful, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.

"Eightfold Divine Dragon Path."

The Moon Goddess murmured. The Venerable Dragon Palm technique Zhao Yun used had a deep connection with this divine path, or rather, it was a small branch. The true Eightfold Divine Dragon Path could collapse the heavens and destroy the earth in an instant.

"Has the Venerable Dragon Path Master ever been to this place?"

The Moon Goddess thought to herself.

But then she reconsidered and felt at ease. Gods were everywhere; who knew where they might wander.

Hmm...

On Zhao Yun's side, things were not so harmonious. His face was pale, and blood was spilling from his mouth.

The Venerable Dragon Palm was too fierce.

His small body was injured by the internal force, and his limbs, bones, and internal organs were in severe pain.

Speaking of this palm technique, it had a significant origin.

Before his meridians were connected, he obtained it from a dilapidated ancient temple during his travels.

The Venerable Dragon Secret Text stated that one should not use this technique until reaching the True Spirit Realm. He was too eager, and his foundation was not solid, so he suffered for it. If not for his body cultivation, his internal organs would have been shattered.

"Come, strike another palm."

The Moon Goddess, lying on the moon, said casually.

"It hurts."

Zhao Yun coughed and sat down, practicing the heart technique to soothe his body.

"I've already said, solidifying your foundation is the most important."

The Moon Goddess glanced at him. If you don't listen to me, look, you've been injured internally!

"Are you not going to... teach me some more secret techniques?"

Zhao Yun chuckled, looking at the Moon Goddess with eager eyes.

"Do you treat my words as mere wind?" The Moon Goddess glanced at him. "You can't handle too much at once."

"True, but we are symbiotic. If I die, you will be destroyed."

"So, teaching me some life-saving techniques is the most reliable. If I'm safe, you're safe."

"You are a god! You can do anything."

Zhao Yun started to persuade her, speaking non-stop, not like someone who was injured.

The Moon Goddess did not speak, but after a moment of reflection, she realized he was right.

Then, she waved her hand, and golden characters appeared, dazzling Zhao Yun's eyes.

"Earth Escape Technique, take it and enjoy it in secret!"

"Thank you, Senior."

Zhao Yun's eyes sparkled, memorizing the technique word by word.

Earth Escape, he had heard of it, belonging to the Qimen Dunjia.

However, he had only heard of it; even the heads of various families had never truly seen this technique.

Without much thought, he sat cross-legged and focused on understanding it.

This technique was not as complicated as he imagined, easy to learn and use. Imagine, when fighting and losing, using Earth Escape would be the best option. The technique the Moon Goddess taught was indeed a life-saving skill.

He didn't know when he finally stood up.

Escape!

With a light command, he used the Earth Escape technique.

However, the scene that followed was somewhat awkward. He managed to escape into the ground, but only his lower half was in the soil, while his upper half was still exposed, looking like a stake stuck in the ground.

"It's not a big deal."

Zhao Yun looked at it. After all, it was his first time using Earth Escape, and it was normal not to succeed. He needed more practice.

It was still awkward.

Half of his body was in the soil, and after a series of frantic movements, he still couldn't get out.

Splash!

Suddenly, disordered water droplets fell, and a cold wind blew.

Zhao Yun instinctively looked up.

At this sight, he was stunned. He saw a person crawling out of the ancient well opposite him.

To be precise, it was a woman.

She had long, disheveled hair, glowing green eyes, a bloody mouth, and nails that hadn't been cut for years, long and shiny, emitting a sinister light, and she was grinning at him.

"Xiu'er, is this a female ghost?" Zhao Yun said.

"Yes, it is."

"Did you know there was a ghost in the well?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want to."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's face turned completely black.

"Such pure qi and blood."

The female ghost licked her blood-red tongue, her laughter causing chaos in his mind.

"Wait for me to get out."

Zhao Yun struggled, but his Earth Escape technique was not working well, and half of his body was still in the soil.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out.

The female ghost, however, had already crawled out of the well, the cold wind blowing in his face.

"Father... um..."

Zhao Yun called out. In such an awkward situation, he needed help.

Unfortunately, before he could fully call out "Father," the female ghost moved. Her long hair, like a black shadow, wrapped around his neck, and his call turned into a silent sound.

Um...

Zhao Yun grunted, his face turning red, and veins bulging on his forehead, feeling his neck about to be twisted.

The Moon Goddess watched with interest, not planning to help, and couldn't help even if she wanted to.

If Zhao Yun couldn't even deal with a female ghost, he would truly be a waste.

"Such pure qi and blood."

The female ghost laughed, green saliva dripping from her mouth, emitting a foul odor.

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, grabbed the female ghost's hair with his hands, and used it to pull himself out of the soil. Then, he forcefully pulled the female ghost towards him.

At the same moment, he swung his hand, delivering a powerful Venerable Dragon Palm.

Ah...

The female ghost screamed and fell back into the well.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Yun stepped forward. Although the female ghost fell into the well, her long hair was still partially outside, and he grabbed it, pulling her out again.

"Let you laugh."

Zhao Yun raised his hand and slapped the female ghost's forehead.

This time, the world was silent.

The female ghost stopped moving, turning into a mist, and faint cries could still be heard.

"Where did the ghost in the well come from?"

Zhao Yun leaned over the well, straining his eyes to look inside, thinking there might be more.

"Don't look, there's only one."

The Moon Goddess said, supporting her cheek, looking at the vast sky, lost in thought.

Zhao Yun stopped looking, still pondering.

Wells are extremely yin places, and it's normal for evil spirits to appear.

It's certain that in some era, something extremely tragic happened in this well, such as someone being pushed in, and in the extremely yin environment, the spirit did not dissipate, eventually becoming a fierce ghost.

It was a coincidence that he encountered it.

Thinking about it now, he still felt a chill. If he hadn't dealt with it, and it had happened after he left, the blind Liu Ruxin and the two maids in the garden would have been in great danger, becoming the female ghost's prey.

Without much thought, he moved a large stone and smashed the well.

A well that had produced a fierce ghost was unsettling, and the water in it could no longer be used.

"Yun'er?"

A voice called from outside the garden. It was Zhao Yuan, who had heard the noise and came to check. As he reached the door, he heard the sound of stones breaking, not knowing what Zhao Yun was smashing, but the sound was quite loud.

"Father."

Zhao Yun opened the door, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Zhao Yuan looked Zhao Yun up and down. It was late at night, and he was covered in dirt and sweat.

"I got up to urinate." Zhao Yun coughed.

"Get some rest." Zhao Yuan smiled, patting Zhao Yun, noticing that his body had become more robust.

"Father, after I leave, can you find someone to help Liu Ruxin recover?"

"Father will take care of it." Zhao Yuan smiled and turned, already having arranged for a guest female elder to help. Since Liu Ruxin was recognized as his daughter-in-law, she was family, and a father wouldn't be stingy.

Zhao Yun closed the door, staggered, and spat out blood.

The Venerable Dragon Palm was fierce, and he had used it three times tonight, causing significant injury. This made him realize the importance of a solid foundation. If he had used this technique before, at the third level of the Essence Condensation Realm, his meridians would have been severed.

"I have a question. Why can't Father see that my spirit meridians have been connected?"

Zhao Yun wiped the blood from his mouth, puzzled.

"Vision is a good thing." The Moon Goddess's answer was as profound as always.

Zhao Yun coughed and found a place to heal.

The night quietly passed.

It was not yet fully light when he stretched and got up.

He hadn't slept all night.

The Muscle Cleansing and Bone Marrow Washing Classic had been practiced for two full cycles, and to his delight, the internal injuries caused by the Venerable Dragon Palm had healed significantly, and his muscles and bones had undergone a qualitative transformation.

"Truly fierce."

Zhao Yun laughed, took a step, and instantly sank into the ground.

It was the Earth Escape technique.

After a sleepless night,
