From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

The Yellow-grade martial arts technique was still very attractive to Zhang Yu, and he was even more interested in the so-called Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Zhang Yu guessed that the number of disciples he would take on would increase after he became a True Qi Realm martial artist.

Since the other party can be the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect, there must be something special about her.

"With Senior Brother Zhang participating, our chances of capturing the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect are much greater this time," Sima Rui exclaimed with delight.

"Senior brother, I want to participate too." Li Feifei gently tugged at Zhang Yu's clothes.

Zhang Yu glanced at her, remembering that she was applying to her family to have a top-tier cultivation technique copied for him, so he nodded: "Alright!"

"Thank you, senior brother." Li Feifei gave a sweet smile.

Sima Rui didn't actually want to take Li Feifei, a disciple of the Rock Outer Academy, with him, but since Zhang Yu nodded, he had no choice but to agree.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I received information through my family that the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect is most likely in the Misty Rain Pavilion in the capital, and is very likely one of the eight most beautiful courtesans," Sima Rui said.

Actually, this isn't exactly a secret; every martial arts family already knows about this rumor.

A third-rate martial arts family: The family has one martial artist at the True Qi Realm.

Second-rate martial arts family: The family has one Qi Cultivation Realm martial artist.

A first-class martial arts family: The family has one martial artist at the Gangqi Realm.

The highest realm in the Western Wilderness Continent is the Qi Condensation Realm. As for the three realms above, for some unknown reason, there have never been any martial artists there.

"Hmph, this news has been circulating for ages. If the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Heart Sect were truly one of the eight most beautiful courtesans of the Misty Rain Pavilion, she would have been found out long ago." Li Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "You think you can get Senior Brother Zhang to team up with you based on some common knowledge?"

"Senior brother, our family is in the capital, and I know this news. If this Senior Brother Sima only knows this much, I don't think it's necessary to bring him along," Li Feifei said to Zhang Yu.

Sima Rui glared at Li Feifei, then hurriedly said, "I also know that the ultimate skill of the Heavenly Heart Sect is the Heavenly Heart Illusionary Star Song. When practicing, it can draw upon the power of stars to temper the body, and when attacking, it can instantly trap people in an illusion."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Let's go to the capital right away."

The Celestial Illusionary Star Melody can draw upon the power of stars to temper the body, and can also use its melodies to instantly transport people into an illusion.

It would be a disservice to his Holy Master System not to bring him under his command.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yu and his two companions rode three Crimson Flame Steeds away from Lingyin City, heading towards the capital.

As soon as Zhang Yu left the city, a beggar-looking man at the city gate immediately turned around and walked into the shantytown. After several twists and turns, he came to a low house and clasped his hands in greeting: "Boss, Zhang Yu from Lingyin Academy has just left the city."

"Understood. Go and inform the Ye family immediately, and send Jia Jiu to complete the mission." An old man's hoarse voice came from the shadows.

"yes!"

News of Zhang Yu's departure from the city quickly reached the Ye family.

After Ye Ditian's death, Shi Cangyue overpowered the Ye family patriarch and made a harsh statement, leaving the Ye family with no choice but to swallow their anger.

Their apparent silence didn't mean they weren't up to something behind the scenes. They contacted the people of the Withered Soul Palace and offered a spirit crystal for Zhang Yu's head.

After Zhang Yu won first place in the Green Eagle Tournament, his spirit crystals increased to three, indicating that the Ye family had invested heavily this time.

The Hall of Withered Souls, an ancient assassin organization, is rumored to be headquartered in Central Continent.

Jia Jiu glanced at the newcomer: "A mere martial artist who has just entered the Transformation Realm, and you want me to take action? Is Old Man Ya getting more and more senile as he gets older?"

Jia Jiu, a half-step True Qi Realm cultivator, failed to break through the barrier two years ago, but he didn't completely fail either. True Qi has already begun to grow within his body, but his dantian is only half open, and the True Qi is quite mixed.

Even so, it is still beyond the reach of martial artists who have mastered the Transformation Realm.

"This is Ya Tou's order, and the other party defeated Gu Zhibei of the Gu family in the Lingyin Academy's Green Eagle Tournament."

"Alright, I'll make the trip," Jia Jiu said, stretching.

……

After leaving the city, Zhang Yu and his companions enjoyed the scenery along the way. Sima Rui actually wanted to hurry on their journey, but Zhang Yu didn't want to; he hadn't had a chance to properly appreciate the beauty of the Western Wilderness.

"Senior Brother Zhang, are you tired? I brought some fruit wine. Would you like to take a rest? There's a stream ahead; it's a good place to cool off," Li Feifei said, noticing beads of sweat on Zhang Yu's forehead.

She was sharp-tongued and sarcastic towards Sima Rui, but devoted herself wholeheartedly to Zhang Yu, taking meticulous care of him.

Zhang Yu didn't use it at first, but over time he gradually got used to it.

He was wary, but it smelled so good that he couldn't resist.

Zhang Yu thoroughly enjoyed being waited on hand and foot, with someone immediately asking if he was thirsty and peeling fruit for him whenever he wanted.

In particular, Li Feifei is very beautiful and knows how to provide emotional value.

They take care of your life, provide you with emotional support, and it's a real, all-in approach—you simply can't resist it.

"Looks like I can't be Niu Mancang's wife. I'll keep her by my side as a maid." Zhang Yu realized that his life was becoming increasingly inseparable from Li Feifei. She took such good care of him, saving him a lot of energy.

If you try to be clever, Zhang Yu will just hand Li Feifei over to Niu Mancang as his wife, since the latter is destined to be a family man and protect his business.

But Li Feifei openly lets you know that she is currying favor with you with a purpose, but at the same time she is giving her all without regard for the cost, even risking her own life.

This makes things very difficult.

Zhang Yu finally stopped hesitating, followed his heart, and decided to keep Li Feifei by his side as a maid.

Li Feifei made him feel more comfortable and at ease than Chu Qingwen.

When Chu Qingwen was around Zhang Yu, she would always subtly or unintentionally engage in ambiguous relationships, which made Zhang Yu very uncomfortable.

Li Feifei always managed to bring him food whenever he wanted to eat, and water whenever he wanted to drink.

Just now, Zhang Yu was a little tired and thought he would rest under the shade of the trees by the stream in front of him, so Li Feifei made the suggestion.

No one could refuse it.

Zhang Yu had no idea that his decision today would create an arrogant and domineering female demon in the future.

She was obedient and cute in front of Zhang Yu, but in front of others, she was a female demon.

By the stream, under the shade of a tree, Zhang Yu was drinking chilled fruit wine, while Li Feifei peeled fruit for him beside him.

Sima Rui wanted to ask for a glass of fruit wine, but the stingy Li Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "No!"

Sima Rui was so angry he wanted to curse, but at the same time he was very envious of Zhang Yu: "I wish I had a woman like Li Feifei by my side."

Zhang Yu suddenly felt a chilling aura approaching, and his heart skipped a beat. He glanced silently into the depths of the woods behind him.

"Is anyone there?"

"Does he intend to kill you?"

"To deal with oneself?"

"True Qi Realm?"

"It shouldn't be. If it were the True Qi Realm, they wouldn't hide their true nature."

Zhang Yu's mind raced with thoughts in an instant.

A moment later, a cold voice rang out behind them.

"He really knows how to enjoy himself. It makes me angry. Woman, I'll kill him in a bit, then you can come with me. I'm much better than him. You'll get your rewards if you serve me well." Jia Jiu's figure emerged from the woods.
