If not handled well, one would be taken for flirting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Li was stunned on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is actually someone in this world who dares to flirt with the State Preceptor to her face! And it's the first time they've met, and he's going all out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Emperor wouldn't dare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the number one in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let her ask you questions to help you win a stroke of fortune, Lu Xingzhou, do you know what you are saying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Ye is naturally \"Ye\" (Night), but when people mention this surname, as long as it's not specifically explained, everyone will naturally think it's \"Ye\" (Leaf). It wasn't her intention to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan often goes out in disguise, calling herself only \"Lady,\" in order to see the people's situation for herself, so as not to be like Gu Zhanting, who relies on subordinates for all information, which is too closed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, she would visit the homes of trusted officials to inquire. Meng Li, of course, had met the State Preceptor and recognized her. This time, he heard that Huo Lu was about to be escorted here, so he thought of coming to Meng Li's place to ask about the specific case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how bad the Huo family is, using a frame-up is inappropriate. If they are caught in a flaw and bitten back, neither the Pei family nor the Meng family will end up well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This case is about to stir up a storm of blood, and she needs to be well-informed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intentionally pointing out Lu Xingzhou's cultivation is even less something that can be exchanged for a mere answer. It's because her precious disciple went into seclusion not long ago, saying she wanted to break through to the Third Grade. Before going into seclusion, fearing her master would worry about losing contact, she sent a letter. In the letter, she summarized the training process, mentioning that she had been ambushed by the Harlot Joy Sect and was fortunate to have Lu Xingzhou's help. This battle also played a big role in her breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this Lu Xingzhou owes her precious disciple a big favor, and giving him some pointers can be considered repaying this karma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, this guy opens his mouth and talks about Yin and Yang... Ye Tinglan's eyes sank slightly, and she stared coldly at Lu Xingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharpness and power in her eyes made Lu Xingzhou's heart tremble slightly. This is a woman who has long been in a high position; she is definitely not just a \"relative,\" and even if she were, she's likely the one in charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which noble family is run by a young woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lu Xingzhou showed no shrinking on his face, still looking at the other party earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan watched for a while and finally said faintly: \"You know it's abrupt? Since you know it's abrupt, why ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou sighed: \"I have no choice. I'm just anxious to study this topic right now... I'd rather My Lady were a man; it wouldn't be this awkward to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan smiled: \"Because your current cultivation technique is of this nature? But you are only a Sixth-Grade cultivator. Wanting to break through to the Fifth Grade is not a big hurdle. You can ask anyone; Instructor Meng can easily give you pointers. Are you sure you want to waste this opportunity on this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou shook his head: \"It's not for a breakthrough. I'm thinking that my current technique theoretically has some advantage over the Harlot Profound Technique, but I don't know how to exert this advantage in a targeted way, whether it's possible to ensure that even if my cultivation is not as good as the opponent's, I won't be invaded by the Harlot Profound Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan was stunned: \"You have confidence that your technique has an advantage over the Harlot Profound Technique? Let me take a look at your cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou reached out his hand frankly. Ye Tinglan extended a finger to point at his palm, frowning as she sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Li looked sideways. How are you really researching it with him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this is a regular topic for cultivators. The cultivation of Yin-Yang harmony and how to deal with demonic cultivation techniques can be discussed openly. As long as you have no ghosts in your heart, it's a straightforward matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan sensed for a moment, and her beautiful eyes sized him up again: \"Your technique is very strong, and its origin is probably quite mysterious. You really show it to me like this, without any avoidance of leaking secrets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"My Lady is a big figure whom even Instructor Meng respects, and this is a rare opportunity for Lu. If I don't seize the opportunity quickly at this time and hide things, wouldn't I be a fool? In fact, my technique is still incomplete. If My Lady knows where to find the rest, I would be very grateful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan said: \"Your ability to climb up the pole is much stronger than your cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The incomplete part of your technique can only exist in some ancient immortal ruins. That depends on your fortune; I can't provide any information.\" Ye Tinglan mused: \"But as for dealing with the Harlot Profound Technique... your technique does have a great advantage. I do have some ideas I can discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was overjoyed: \"Please give me your guidance, My Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, you have to tell me what level of invasion you are trying to deal with... If it's a conventional battle, your own Yin-Yang rotation is extremely stable, and general charm techniques are hard to shake through battle. Unless you are ambushed and injured, and your own universe is scattered, that's not a problem with the technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"I already know this, which is why I feel my technique has some advantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what you want to ask about is intercourse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Lu Xingzhou was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Li's eyes bulged. State Preceptor, what are you doing, State Preceptor? Discussing Yin-Yang is fine, but why even talk about intercourse? Is this something you should say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that Lu Xingzhou, you really want to have intercourse with a Harlot demonic cultivator? Why don't you go and mount a tiger? Researching how to pull a tiger's teeth is more stable than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan was expressionless: \"Then my opinion is not to have intercourse. The massive Yin energy of the Harlot Profound Technique rushes into your body, and your own universe will definitely be in chaos, especially when your cultivation is not as good as the opponent's. You can only be completely dominated, without any suspense. If the other party is still a virgin, the purity of the primordial Yin can defeat enemies across grades; it's their trump card. You still want to counter-cross grades? Blinded by lust, you don't know what you're talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said weakly: \"I'm just worried about situations like being captured or deceived, whether there can be any surprises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you must have a surprise, there is only one way... You prepare a treasure with extremely strong Yang energy. When the other party invades, you suddenly draw the treasure's Yang energy into your body to counter-charge it. The rest depends on your technique's own harmony ability... This move is not for ordinary people. The sudden clash of external Yin and Yang energy in the body will make the meridians unable to bear it, and you will definitely be crippled. Only your technique can be slightly expected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou was thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Tinglan turned and left: \"This suggestion is only for you to deal with accidents... If you rely on having some methods and take the initiative to hunt Harlot demonic cultivators... then when the waves surge and the boat capsizes, no one will sigh for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Tinglan leave, Meng Li looked at Lu Xingzhou as if looking at a god: \"You... you actually discussed the topic of Yin-Yang harmony with her, and she, she actually didn't get angry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou said: \"Because it really is a topic about how to deal with demonic cultivators. Sincerity is the ultimate skill... The Harlot Joy Sect has this nature, so the discussion naturally involves these things. Lady Ye is high-minded and open-hearted, so she won't dwell on it. By the way, whose family is she from...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Li: \"...You don't even know whose family she's from, and you're already calling her high-minded and open-hearted? She's gone, she can't hear you, no need to flatter her behind her back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm speaking from the heart. That demeanor and insight, one can tell it's extraordinary. Besides, Instructor, you are so respectful to her, she must be a First-Grade noble family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, yes.\" Meng Li stiffened his face: \"It's not convenient for me to discuss others behind their backs. Since you've met, ask her yourself in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Ye Tinglan smiled slightly and drifted away. Sorry, I can hear you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to give Lu Xingzhou these pointers, not entirely because of being high-minded and open-hearted, but because she felt that Lu Xingzhou provoking the Harlot demonic cultivator should be because of her own disciple. With this karma, she should naturally help him; otherwise, no matter how open-hearted she was, she wouldn't discuss the topic of Yin-Yang harmony with a man she met for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, this man is open-hearted, and he has knowledge... but he is still lustful. He wants to take in Harlot demonic cultivators. Since ancient times, men who have had such thoughts haven't had a good end. It's better to let her good disciple stay away from him, so as not to get splashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qingli probably doesn't need a reminder. Once she breaks through to the Third Grade, she will be an even bigger iceberg, and it won't matter who comes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Lu Xingzhou bid farewell to Meng Li and returned to the inn, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A treasure with extremely strong Yang energy—he doesn't even need to look for one, because his fire leg is exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The efficacy of these two legs has far from been fully excavated. So far, they have only served as an energy source and a \"foundation of the earth's veins,\" gradually transforming his bones. As for the energy contained within them, it is too vast and cannot be fully exerted by his current Sixth-Grade cultivation, so it can only be sealed in the leg bones for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once released, the fire leg is an extremely massive source of Yang energy, and the water leg is an extremely massive source of Yin energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own universe possesses Yin and Yang, and his foundation is truly better than anyone else's, just waiting to be gradually developed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, if Pei Chuyun's primordial Yin invades, and he releases the power of the fire leg, will it be useful? And can his technique catch this Yin-Yang impact in time and smooth it out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it can, the Harlot Profound Technique will completely lose its meaning to him. Only then would he dare to open his heart and do whatever he wants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it can or not needs to be tested... How to test this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the inn's courtyard, Pei Chuyun was nowhere to be seen. Going to her room, the little enchantress was still sleeping soundly on the bed, hugging a pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, gently brushing away the messy hair on her cheek, watching her sleeping like a little cat. After a long time, he sighed and whispered to himself: \"Actually, you were right before. The reason I brought you to the capital was just to see if I could get a big favor from the Pei family, not truly for you. I have no sincerity myself, so naturally, I will only be more suspicious of others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, he whispered again: \"But when I saw your timidity last night, the thought of finding the answer for you already exceeded utilitarianism. I don't know if you believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm hoping even more now that I can find the answer tonight. Then you will have no reason to follow me, and I won't need to have any more thoughts. We'll part ways and be done with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether she was asleep or heard him, he had said what he wanted to say. Lu Xingzhou didn't dwell on it and returned to the table to take out his alchemy notes and start studying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's questions were too damn hard, giving him a sense of urgency... Other things couldn't be solved in a short time anyway, so why think so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bed, Pei Chuyun quietly opened a slit in her eyes, watching his back as he held the scroll and read leisurely. Watching and watching, she lay on her side, supporting her chin, and remained silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>",2208,"2026-06-18T01:46:09.112Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","862cc672fed3e6857c9dda77688dd4b89e18a44a351974bcd9c7c93630e3e7e5","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-106","the-grain-of-mountains-and-rivers-chapter-104",325,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmountains-and-rivers-of-the-imperial-granary-cover.jpg"]
