Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

"My cat can do backflips, like the Thomas Flair, it's amazing! But recently it broke its leg and is recovering, and I have to take care of it, so I really don't have time!"

Everyone feels the same way about not wanting to work, but the reasons they give for not wanting to work are varied.

In short, it's not that they don't work, but that they find excuses to shirk their duties. If they really wanted to do something, they would, but they would always push it onto their disciples. They would only step in if their disciples were truly unable to do it. This is the life of these semi-retired elders of the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong.

But what could be done? So Yu Wanqing could only gather her disciples and do it herself.

However, she has now encountered a new problem, stemming from her body.

"Sect Master Yu, your health problems have become serious. If you don't find a way to cure them, at best your cultivation will regress, and at worst you will ascend to immortality on the spot."

"Ascension on the spot?"

"It means to die."

"Is there any way?"

"I do have a solution, Sect Master Yu. This pill of mine was painstakingly refined and can slow the spread of the illness. It's not expensive; it only requires about nine hundred and ninety-eight high-grade spirit stones..."

The old Chinese medicine doctor took out a bottle of pills and said calmly.

"If we don't eat, this might happen..."

Before me stood a middle-aged man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, dressed in a green robe and sporting a goatee. He made a choking motion, then rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

Very vivid.

But why does this seemingly venerable old gentleman look so unserious? It's really strange.

He looks like a very reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

boom!

Before Yu Wanqing could ask another question, a kick came flying, and the disciple was instantly sent flying, disappearing in an instant as a blur.

"Sorry, this guy has a bit of social butterfly syndrome. He's only been around for a short time but he's already pretending to make diagnoses."

Hua Tianyou walked over from the side, kicked the disciple who looked like an old Chinese medicine doctor away, and then smiled apologetically at Yu Wanqing.

"Who is this……?"

"The disciples who were recruited a few years ago are quite old after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, so they look like this. They look very reliable. I guess they can only rejuvenate for a while after reaching the Spirit Transformation stage."

"Why can't I sense his cultivation level?"

“He practiced the Yang-shrinking technique, but he went astray before. I’ve been helping him adjust it recently, so it seems like his cultivation has disappeared.”

Hua Tianyou answered very calmly.

Yu Wanqing was speechless, because she had almost been fooled. After all, this guy looked like a sage, and his cultivation level was unfathomable, which was really too intimidating.

Besides Elder Lu, there's only him.

Although Hua Tianyou is a doctor from the Righteous Alliance, he has been traveling between the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect and other sects during this period. One reason is to pass on his medical knowledge, and the other is to learn the medical skills of doctors from other sects.

Although my studies weren't very formal, I still learned something.

Of course, the physicians of the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect used rather crude methods in their treatments.

Hua Tianyou closed his eyes slightly, his mind filled with the scene of the doctor treating and saving lives.

Buzz!

"Your leg is ruined. I'll amputate it for you right now, and then you can buy a Rejuvenation Pill to help it grow back!"

A long, sharp, prototype-shaped cutting tool, with a rapidly spinning end, was slowly slicing down towards a disciple's leg.

The next moment, Hua Tianyou saw that disciple jump up from the spot, leaping three zhang high, and run towards the door like a madman.

"One Rejuvenation Pill is enough to pay off my debts for a thousand years! I don't even have that much lifespan! You might as well kill me!"

The disciple left those words behind and disappeared through the doorway.

"That cures it, doesn't it?"

The physician from the Yuantian Holy Sect laughed smugly.

"He's cured, but senior brother, did he pay the consultation fee?"

An apprentice next to him suddenly reminded him.

Then the doctor, who had been wearing a smug smile, suddenly changed his expression and ran towards the door like a madman: "You come back here! You haven't paid the consultation fee yet! Trying to get it for free?!"

Watching the doctor rush out, Hua Tianyou seemed to understand why there were no banners proclaiming "miraculous cures" hanging in this place.

Who dares to hang it?

"Sect Master Yu, please extend your hand so I can take your pulse."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Dr. Hua."

Yu Wanqing stretched out her hand, and Hua Tianyou immediately took her pulse, but his brows quickly furrowed.

"Sect Leader Yu, how old are you this year?"

"This……"

"Never lie to a doctor."

"Probably three or four hundred years old, I've forgotten the exact age..."

"Have you ever had a Daoist partner?"

"No, it never happened..."

Chapter 232 Not resolving one's life-long commitment can be fatal.

Yu Wanqing was a little puzzled, wondering why Hua Tianyou would ask these questions.

However, Hua Tianyou did not offer an explanation, but instead continued to ask, "Are you interested? Is there anyone who is interested?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head and replied, "No, I don't know what Dr. Hua means by that. I don't quite understand."

"You should find a Daoist partner, Sect Master Yu. The spiritual energy within your body is already disordered."

After Hua Tianyou uttered those words, Yu Wanqing fell silent.

"Excuse me, Dr. Hua, what did you say?"

“I’m telling you, you should find a Daoist partner. The spiritual energy in your body is already disordered. You need to cultivate together to cure the root cause. Otherwise, you can only dissipate your power and start over.”

Hua Tianyou didn't say anything else, but went straight to the point.

Yu Wanqing exclaimed in shock, "Dr. Hua, you can't say things like that! How could that be..."

Hua Tianyou stroked Yu Wanqing's hand, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "You learned your cultivation technique from your parents, right? Yuqing Gong? Or Taixu Gong? Something feels off about it."

Yu Wanqing sighed, "Alas, Dr. Hua, you were right, I have learned both of these techniques."

Hua Tianyou nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "You've learned both techniques? No wonder..."

He sensed that the spiritual energy within Yu Wanqing's body was disordered. Although the two spiritual energies were compatible, they were now in disarray, much like a couple arguing. Although they were on the same bed, they were fighting on the bed.

Although they are combined, they are in disarray. This means that the spiritual energy generated by this technique, although different, has been largely integrated together. However, a problem has arisen, and it has begun to repel each other again.

Hua Tianyou asked with great confusion, "Why do you want to learn both of these techniques at the same time?"

Most people only practice one fundamental skill in their entire lives. That's the fundamental principle. It's rare to practice two skills at the same time. Not only is there not enough time, but even if someone is exceptionally talented, it's easy to practice the wrong skill.

If you practice it incorrectly, at best you'll lose your skills and have to start over, at worst you'll die and your cultivation will be destroyed, because the effects of the practice are subtle and gradual.

“It was arranged by my parents. One said this exercise was better, and the other said that exercise was better. In order to prove whose exercise was stronger, they taught me this in the morning and that in the evening.”

Hua Tianyou was speechless, thinking how unreliable these two were: "Aren't you afraid of accidentally practicing the wrong techniques while learning two different cultivation methods at the same time? Or suffering a qi deviation?"

Yu Wanqing thought for a while and said, "I have a pretty good talent and a very good physique. I have the Taiyin Sacred Body. In addition, the spiritual medicine I received was also in good condition. Although there were some problems at the beginning, I was able to start practicing it later."

Hua Tianyou finally understood. This was his talent and physique. His parents had given him all the guidance he needed, and he had also provided plenty of spiritual medicine. That was why he was so complacent and proud.

Otherwise, if an ordinary person cultivated like this, they would probably get stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage, or even have to start all over again due to the loss of their cultivation.

It's just that Yu Wanqing was incredibly lucky, otherwise she would have been gone long ago.

Seeing Yu Wanqing's half-naive and half-doubtful look, Hua Tianyou could only say that good luck really can make you do whatever you want.

Yu Wanqing persisted, unwilling to give up, and asked, "Is there a way to solve this problem without dual cultivation?"

“Then you either have to abandon one of your cultivation techniques or start over from scratch. There’s no other way,” Hua Tianyou sighed. “But your two cultivation techniques have already merged together. Abandoning one of them is the same as abandoning the other. You’ll lose your cultivation and it will also greatly damage your talent.”

Rebuilding one's skills after dispersing them is the only way to do so without the help of others, but this method is also risky. If it damages one's foundation and talent, then rebuilding may not be so easy.

Besides, at this age, cultivation also depends on age.

Children's meridians and physical bones are not yet fully formed, making them more suitable for cultivating immortality. Adults' meridians and physical bones are already solidified, and unless they are exceptionally gifted or have extraordinary opportunities, there is simply no way to solve this problem.

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to looks. As long as you have the blood of a lucky person, you'll be popular anywhere.

Yu Wanqing, still unwilling to give up, asked, "Are there any other ways?"

Hua Tianyou shook his head and said, "No, this isn't a market, you can't haggle here, Sect Master Yu."

Yu Wanqing asked another question: "Why did my parents practice martial arts with each other without any problems?"

Hua Tianyou was taken aback when he heard this: "Your parents also practiced martial arts with each other, what does that mean?"

Yu Wanqing explained, "My parents used to compare the merits of their respective cultivation methods every night. Eventually, neither of them could convince the other, so they started exchanging cultivation methods to practice."

Hua Tianyou was stunned: "So intense? Aren't they afraid of messing up their techniques by practicing like this?"

Yu Wanqing thought for a moment: "In order to ensure that their respective techniques could convince each other, the two guided each other in their practice, laughing at each other as they practiced. Each of them was afraid that their technique would cause the other to make a mistake and then be laughed at. So, in this way, they actually succeeded..."

Hua Tianyou was so shocked when he heard this that he almost jumped up. There's such a way of comparing things?

The fact that these two are still alive is a blessing from God.

What happened next?

Hua Tianyou was extremely curious; he really wanted to know what would happen after the two of them exchanged their cultivation techniques and practiced together.

"The two of them broke through to the next level. Although there were some problems along the way, it was fine. However, their skill levels were indistinguishable, so they set their sights on me."

"They've got their eyes on you?"

Hua Tianyou had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

“My father said his technique was better, and my mother said hers was better. They argued back and forth, and finally, they decided to let me practice both techniques at the same time.”

Hua Tianyou was speechless, thinking that this was truly an outrageous reason.

This couple just wanted to compete to see who had the better cultivation method. They couldn't determine who was better in their own cultivation, yet they wanted their daughter to practice it in order to determine who was better. Wasn't that just absurd?

"So logically speaking, they also practiced two martial arts techniques, so why..."

"Alas, because they are husband and wife and have already cultivated together, their cultivation methods have been balanced, so nothing bad happened." Hua Tianyou sighed and said, "If you hadn't done that, you would have had to disperse your cultivation and start over. Now you are the vice sect leader of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect and the vice leader of the Righteous Path Alliance, so I suppose you wouldn't have time to disperse your cultivation and start over, would you?"

Yu Wanqing nodded in agreement: "That's right, I won't have time to disperse my cultivation and start over. The situation is critical right now, how can I disperse my cultivation and start over?"

"Then Sect Master Yu needs to find a Daoist partner as soon as possible. Moreover, the spiritual energy generated from the cultivation method should ideally be compatible. If the cultivation method and spiritual energy are incompatible, finding just anyone will not work."

"Isn't that treating people as tools?"

"There's nothing we can do about that. If Sect Master Yu has someone he thinks is suitable, he can bring them to me for a look, and I can judge whether they meet Sect Master Yu's requirements."

It sounded like they were selecting merchandise, as if they were going to show it off to others. Although this made Yu Wanqing uncomfortable, she could do nothing about it.

Yu Wanqing fell into deep thought. She had never imagined that this life-altering matter would escalate to the point where not marrying would cost her her life.

Hua Tianyou looked at Yu Wanqing's worried face and offered a suggestion: "Speaking of which, Sect Leader Yu, I have a few candidates whose spiritual power might be suitable for you. You can also consider them."

Yu Wanqing's eyes lit up: "Go ahead and speak!"

"The first one..."

Yu Wanqing shook her head.

"The second one..."

Yu Wanqing shook her head again.

"The third one..."

"The sixth one..."

Yu Wanqing shook her head again, and Hua Tianyou felt his mouth was about to dry.

Damn it, if it weren't for the compassion of doctors, who would be here acting as a matchmaker?
