The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Since Zi Nu completely pledged allegiance to Jiang Chuan, she has been using her unique methods to help Jiang Chuan gather information about the Yin Yang School. To ordinary people, the Yin Yang School is very mysterious, and their information is very difficult to obtain.

...... 0 ...

However, Zi Nu was originally a member of the Yin-Yang School, so she had her own methods for gathering information about the Yin-Yang School.

A secret intelligence report.

Many years ago, Xiangjun and Xiangfuren of the Yin-Yang School encountered problems while practicing their skills and eventually left the Yin-Yang School headquarters. They chose to live in a secluded valley, using the unique geological environment of the valley to heal their injuries and hoping to recover from their state of demonic possession.

Over the years, many people have accidentally wandered into the valley, and in the end, they all mysteriously disappeared.

Over time, some terrifying rumors began to circulate about this valley.

After learning this information from Zi Nu, Jiang Chuan immediately thought of the special chapter "The Emperor's Descent" in the original work, and at the same time, he also learned the name of that valley.

Its name is Xiaoxiang Valley.

But he wasn't quite sure of the exact location of this valley.

Zi Nu then told him the location of the valley.

Now that he knew the location of the valley, Jiang Chuan naturally didn't mind coming here to cause some trouble.

If we could take this opportunity to eliminate one or two of the five elders of the Yin-Yang School, it would serve as a warning to Donghuang Taiyi.

If possible, eliminate all of Donghuang Taiyi's allies. No matter how strong he is personally, he will only be a lone wolf.

Chapter 378: Woman in the Valley

To the south of Xianyang City lies Nanshan, the central section of the Qinling Mountains. Its towering peaks and steep cliffs form a natural barrier to the south, creating a magnificent landscape described as "layered peaks overlooking the Wei River, and green cliffs piercing the distant sky."

To the north, the Yaoshan, Huanglongshan, Cuo'eshan, and Liangshan mountains form the winding and continuous Beishan mountain range, which stands in stark contrast to the Qinling Mountains.

On the vast fertile plains demarcated by these mountains, the city of Xianyang stands majestically, surrounded by the Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Yu, Hao, Chan, and Ba rivers, which flow around it like a string of sparkling, swaying beads. These eight rivers not only provide Xianyang with abundant water resources but also bring it unparalleled convenience in transportation.

Xiaoxiang Valley is located on the side of the Jing River, one of the eight rivers.

This place is actually quite far from Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state.

After all, the Jing River is not a small river; its basin is quite long.

The fact that Xiangjun and Xiangfuren of the Yin-Yang School chose to live here suggests that the problems Xiangfuren had were quite serious, and only the special ley lines of this place could alleviate her internal issues.

The Jing River meanders past the valley, and thick fog shrouds the area in front of it, obscuring the view and creating a sense of mystery.

Jiang Chuan went alone again this time, without anyone else in his party.

The difference was that the longsword he carried on his back had changed.

Now, the longsword he carries is the Jingni Sword, as sharp as frost.

The sword was given to him by Ru Shuang on her own initiative.

According to Ru Shuang, he had already given her the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, such a profound heavenly book, to study, so of course she had to give back. Her husband was powerful, but his sword was just ordinary. An ordinary sword could not unleash powerful moves, so Ru Shuang forced the Jing Ni Sword on Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't know what to say.

He didn't actually pursue famous swords. If he had wanted to, he would have acquired many famous swords, including the Ganjiang sword, which is ranked fifth in the sword manual.

But since it was Ru Shuang's heartfelt wish, he finally accepted it.

And so, carrying the Jingni Sword on his back, he arrived here.

The main reason I'm still alone is that it's easier to move around when I'm alone.

Moreover, at this level, the significance of group fights is no longer very obvious; one person is enough to handle everything.

Jiang Chuan stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at the valley in front of him.

Finally, I chose to step into it.

The fog in the valley was very thick, which was very strange. Logically speaking, even if there was fog, it should be a thin fog, but the fog in Xiaoxiang Valley was so thick that you could not see the road ahead.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but think of the scene in the special episode where the man being chased by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) broke into the valley.

It was probably because of the mystery and dense fog of this valley that he chose to enter it during his escape, hoping to avoid the net. However, he never expected that after finally escaping the net, he would end up in a deadly situation.

Of course, all those in the Net who were hunting him down also died.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually not a loss.

The thick fog didn't have much of an impact on Jiang Chuan. Even with his eyes closed, he was able to stay on the right path and continue forward. He also sensed some special features of this valley.

This valley is situated beside the Jing River, where the water's essence is abundant, as evidenced by the thick fog that fills the valley.

However, after careful perception, Jiang Chuan discovered that beneath Nongyu's watery aura, there was also a scorching heat, with water and fire mixed together in a strange way.

"It is a place of creation where yin and yang coexist harmoniously."

Jiang Chuan sighed.

I gradually began to understand why Xiangjun and Xiangfuren chose to stay here instead of leaving the Yin-Yang School.

This place is indeed very special.

The Yin-Yang School's cultivation methods have extremely high requirements for heaven and earth. It can be said that they are ruthlessly plundering the power of heaven and earth. This is completely different from the Daoist principle of following the natural way. Following the natural way means that humans and nature coexist harmoniously. The Yin-Yang School, on the other hand, directly takes itself as the master and forcefully plunders everything. If one cannot perfectly control the power of heaven and earth, one will go astray and become possessed by evil spirits.

Under normal circumstances, going into a state of demonic possession would inevitably lead to death.

However, in certain situations, it is possible to restrain oneself.

For example, if one finds a place of great potential, one can use the special nature of the earth's veins to nourish one's own meridians and borrow the power of heaven and earth to reverse and resolve one's own chaotic energy.

By now, Jiang Chuan's understanding of the Yin-Yang School is quite extensive.

As we continued our journey, we found ourselves in a very deep valley.

He passed through the thick fog, and suddenly what he saw became bright.

Within the valley, a hidden paradise unfolded, with vibrant, dazzling flowers in full bloom. Not far from the flowers lay a dense bamboo grove, its bamboo no ordinary species, speckled with tear-like marks. This bamboo is known as "Xiangfei Bamboo." Legend has it that Emperor Shun's two wives, Ehuang and Nüying, traveled a thousand miles to find him. Upon reaching Junshan, they learned of his death and embraced the bamboo, weeping bitterly. Their tears turned to blood, leaving spots on the bamboo, hence the name Xiangfei Bamboo, also known as Spotted Bamboo or Tear Bamboo.

Jiang Chuan did not step into the bamboo forest, but instead came to the side of these flower petals.

These flowers were no ordinary flowers; they were entirely crimson, incomparably alluring, and like these bamboos, they also had a name: "Red Spider Lily." Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered, and he reached out and grabbed at the ground.

Suddenly, the ground was torn up, and all the beautiful spider lilies were destroyed.

The soil cracked open, revealing what lay beneath.

Beneath the beautiful red spider lilies lay piles of white bones.

These spider lilies are nourished by these corpses.

"How ruthless!"

0.5 Jiang Chuan said softly, then flicked his sleeve, and dust swirled up, reburying the exposed bones.

Then move forward.

He walked through the bamboo forest and finally came to a beautiful courtyard.

The courtyard, situated at the end of a bamboo grove, looked rather strange; it was hard to imagine who would live there.

Jiang Chuan stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"

At this moment, apart from the long sword he carried on his back, Jiang Chuan looked like an ordinary tourist.

After a knock on the door, a few moments later, a series of crisp footsteps sounded, and the door slowly opened, revealing a woman's figure to Jiang Chuan.

No matter how you look at it, she is a beautiful woman.

Chapter 379 By day she is Ehuang, by night she is Nüying!

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with her long black hair styled in a languid bun, her eyebrows delicately arched, her nose straight and elegant, her cheeks pale as paper, and her oval face exquisitely beautiful. Two strands of hair fell beside her face, swaying gently in the valley breeze.

A string of colorful gemstones adorned her elegant neck, further accentuating her snow-white skin. A tight-fitting dress exuded an irresistible allure. Her sharply defined shoulders and flat stomach were exposed, her alabaster skin seemingly dripping with moisture.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, a strange light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she then softly asked him, "Sir, where do you come from?"

Upon seeing the woman before him, Jiang Chuan said with some delight, "I was being chased and accidentally wandered into this valley. I was surprised to find traces of other people in the valley, which is why I came here."

"I apologize for troubling you, young lady."

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression remained unchanged. She spoke softly to Jiang Chuan, "This place is called Xiaoxiang Valley. No outsiders have come here for a long time. Since you have been chased and accidentally wandered into this place, you may rest here for a while."

"Excuse me, miss!" Jiang Chuan said to the woman.

"nothing."

The woman was extremely kind.

And just like that, Jiang Chuan moved into the house with ease.

After entering the house, the woman brought Jiang Chuan a cup of tea and said, "This is a very simple place in the mountains. We can only offer you coarse tea. Please forgive us, sir."

Jiang Chuan accepted the tea and shook his head, saying, "You're too kind, young lady."

After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Chuan feigned curiosity and asked the woman, "This valley is extremely remote, and the entrance is shrouded in thick fog. It's hardly a suitable place for seclusion. I'm curious, why do you live here alone, young lady?"

After hearing Jiang Chuan's question, the woman remained silent for a moment before asking him, "Sir, have you ever heard of the Yin-Yang School?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded. "I've naturally heard of the Yin-Yang School, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought."

The woman said, "My name is Ehuang."
