Chapter 3632 Zhang Qian Returns Home
After nearly ten years of waiting, Ren Anran has combined various cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang School and summarized and even deduced a 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; he simply followed the instructions of the Primordial Celestial Venerable and manipulated the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle.

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 be stuffed with 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 Two Qi Bottle held in his right hand. Multiple forces continuously extended the magical power, and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle spun in his right hand like a top.

At first, you could hear a faint sound of pebbles colliding inside the bottle, but later the sound disappeared completely.

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 threw 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 realms of the Yin-Yang school of thought, 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.

"Cure!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief response.

Zhang Xuezhou needs to be in top form to reach his true self.

He is exceptionally capable, but the Yang-locking effect in his body has not been completely removed, and Yi Shuo still needs to unseal it.

By combining the simulation provided by the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, Zhang Xuezhou's many shortcomings were gradually made up for.

There was still a lack of time. If possible, Zhang Xuezhou would certainly like to enter the realm of true self 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 the possibility of breaking through to the Self-Mastery 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 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 the person beside him.

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.

"cough~"

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. "Several tails have followed us here!"

"I was discovered by Wu 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 Huainan Prince's Mansion in Chang'an City must be keeping an eye on me!"

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

Zhang Xuezhou shrugged, indicating that Jin Chang had acted unethically, allowing the Prince of Huainan's mansion to dig up 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 it won’t die out in the future,” Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head. “You can report back to the Prince of Huainan. I look forward to meeting you!”

"Sect Leader, 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, while Jin Chang's face turned pale and red.

Jin Chang accomplished the task assigned by Zhang Xuezhou, but not quite properly. He was walking a tightrope between the Prince of Huainan's residence and the Yin-Yang School, trying to appease both sides.

Some people can walk a tightrope to 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 Prince of Huainan.

His residence was small, but it was truly a safe haven. As long as the fake Crimson Sky Sword hung in the main hall, no one dared to cause trouble, not even the Prince 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 quite good!"

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 category of external pills.

According to Li Shaojun, this quality of external elixir belongs to the top grade.

As long as it has a positive impact on advancing one's realm, Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't care about the toxic side effects of the Yin-Yang Secret Pill. After all, those who have entered the realm of sainthood in their 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 take.

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 Prince of Huainan's mansion across the street came with 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.

"Could it be that Wuchao has also come to Chang'an?"

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

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

Zhang Xuezhou once asked 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 Kingdom and had 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 Kingdom?"

Whatever happens in the Xiong Kingdom has almost no impact on Zhang Xuezhou. Zhang Qian's return to Chang'an is of little significance to Zhang Xuezhou, but Wuchao's arrival in Chang'an might be related.

Considering his current extremely prosperous fortune and such an obvious 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 stroked the three bottles of Yin-Yang Secret Pills that Jin Chang had brought back, then put them into his small Qiankun bag.

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

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

Liu Xuan didn't expect 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 watch the fun.

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

In the education Liu Xuan received, he did not 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 that my past education was a failure?"

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

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

Liu Xuan truly couldn't understand all of this.
