This Cuiyun Mountain has a spiritual vein?” Wang Yu’s spirits lifted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it does. Though it’s only a Tier One small spiritual vein, it’s more than enough to sustain a family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This room is a side chamber in the clan lord’s residence; the spiritual energy here is even purer than elsewhere. Cultivate well here—I’ll have Xiao Mei prepare cultivation aids for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every bit of progress you make now will greatly help during the entrance trial.” Yin Linglong instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu naturally agreed at once, but then requested to see the Yin family’s collection of miscellaneous texts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Linglong thought for a moment, then agreed, handing him a key to the clan lord’s library within the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, a pale yellow meditation cushion beneath him, and beside him stood a blue incense burner with a brown incense stick smoldering inside, releasing a soothing sandalwood fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s eyes were half-closed, his hands resting on his knees; with each inhale and exhale through nose and mouth, faint threads of cold qi flickered faintly over his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stared wide-eyed at the bowl and plate on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bowl held large, pale yellow rice grains, each as big as a finger, translucent and plump, instantly whetting the appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plate held a palm-sized chunk of crimson meat, coated in a layer of emerald-green liquid, exuding a strong medicinal aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spiritual rice,” “demon beast meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu murmured these words several times, his face filled with blissful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a room of fifty to sixty square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood before towering shelves of books, rapidly flipping through a thick volume in his hands, faint glimmers of crystalline light visible deep within his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book’s cover bore the title: “Introduction to Herbalism.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month later, one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu was seated in his room, meditating and drawing in spiritual energy, feeling his internal qi slowly increase, when suddenly a commotion and hurried footsteps erupted outside his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Meng, you can’t go in—this room is for the clan lord’s guest!” came the panicked voice of the maid Xiao Mei trying to block him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of my way! I want to see who this guest is that my sister gave my cultivation resources to—now I can barely make any progress!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furious teenage voice rang out, followed by a loud “Crash!” as the door was kicked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in brocade robes, his face covered in pockmarks, stormed in, pointed a finger at Wang Yu on the bed, and glared fiercely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu didn’t wait for the boy to finish—he flashed off the bed, moved in a blur, and appeared behind the boy, grabbing his collar and casually hurling him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy was tossed like trash beyond the door, landing face-first among the courtyard flowers, unable to rise for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu shut the door again, and his calm voice drifted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I’m only warning you. Next time you enter, I break your arm. The time after that, I break your leg. If you dare make noise outside, I’ll smash your mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, silence fell at once, broken only by the boy’s low moans—he seemed truly frightened, too afraid to cry out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re extremely domineering. Do you know who you just hit? Even as the clan lord’s guest, you can’t get away with this!” came another unfamiliar man’s voice, strained with suppressed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not convinced, come in and try it yourself,\" Wang Yu said with a sneer, already back in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had killed Qi Condensation mid-stage opponents and escaped from sect disciples—he wouldn’t be intimidated by this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, fine, fine—I’ll test your mettle first.” The man outside laughed bitterly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, a scarred young man entered, muscular and swinging a thick wooden club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s eyes flashed with cold light; he leapt from the bed in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred youth inhaled deeply; his arms swelled visibly, and his club blurred as it hurtled toward Wang Yu’s head with a vicious wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Yu’s lips twitched slightly—but he didn’t dodge at all. He raised his right hand and seized the club’s tip firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred youth was stunned—he knew the force behind his strike, and immediately roared, his arm tendons bulging as he tried to fling Wang Yu into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Yu didn’t budge an inch. He grunted, clenched his fingers tightly, and simultaneously shot his leg forward like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack!” The club’s tip shattered into splinters; a gust of wind swept through as Wang Yu’s iron-like thigh slammed into the scarred youth’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred youth screamed, flying backward over seven or eight meters before crashing heavily into the courtyard—but he immediately rolled up into a fish leap and stood, face deathly pale, utterly drained of color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Third cousin… you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brocade-robed boy jumped back in shock, trembling as he tried to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarred youth said nothing, turned, and walked away without a word, vanishing from the courtyard in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s face turned ashen; he barely managed to rise, then bolted away as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-dressed maid standing outside had watched, mouth agape. She stared at the tightly shut door, speechless for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a meal’s time, Yin Linglong entered and, seeing Wang Yu, said directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first one who came was my useless younger brother—he was merely manipulated. The one who attacked after was a cousin of mine; he’s trained in body tempering arts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They wanted to test your strength. I didn’t want to waste more time arguing—I’ve arranged a match in three days. If you defeat their chosen fighter, you may enter our Yin family as a son-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. Perfect. I’ve always believed whoever has the bigger fist holds the truth.” Wang Yu replied, unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you want to know who your opponent is?” Yin Linglong wrinkled her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who? As my future wife, you’ll tell me anyway.” Wang Yu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xiaoming of the Yu family. He’s twenty-six, already at Qi Condensation Sixth Layer. They made me promise—if Yu Xiaoming defeats you, he replaces you as my husband and enters our Yin family.” Yin Linglong spoke slowly, a flicker of anger crossing her beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1171,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","66816e33506152c2e913e757edc6f31935180a877b2bd6b93cdd7a2523cc2fa8","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-59","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-57",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
