Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

Chapter 789 - 795-796: Young Master Mo, Xuelan Likes You

If Tang Yichen truly wanted to hide his tracks, even if the Poison King Valley were given another hundred years, they wouldn’t be able to find him.After all, if he truly wanted to escape the assassination of the Poison King Valley, why would he take on the title of "High Priest" and make it so widely known in the Western Regions?

There’s even news spreading that the High Priest of the Western Regions is a traitor from the Poison King Valley.

Clearly, all of this is by Tang Yichen’s design, deliberately spreading such news in the Western Regions to lead the people from the Poison King Valley there.

In Baiyue, that is the home ground of the Poison King Valley, but in the Western Regions, he has been cultivating his influence all these years, and it finally comes in handy.

"Someone come." Tang Yichen, clad in a black robe, spoke in a hoarse voice.

Soon, a man in black entered from outside, respectfully saying, "Go and inform Scorpion to come to the Underground Palace tomorrow morning to meet me. After you’ve informed him, you don’t need to report back to me."

"Yes."

...

A half hour later, in the Third Prince’s study.

Behind the desk, Xingyin was slightly bowing his head, slowly sketching with a brush on paper. On the paper was an unfinished portrait of a woman. If Princess Deti were present, she would surely recognize that the woman in the portrait was her own mother.

Xingyin was very focused, and with each stroke of the brush, his facial expression subtly changed, as if he was pouring his emotions into this portrait.

Before finishing, Xingyin muttered to himself, "Why, in what aspect am I inferior to him, that you would rather die than fulfill my wish.

You think by dying, everything would end? No, De Yi has grown up, and she has a few of your charms from when you were young. De Yi is not like you; she is so weak, she can’t escape the palm of my hand."

The brush stopped, and once the ink was dry, Xingyin gently touched the face of the woman in the portrait with his fingers, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, Xingyin sensed something, his gaze turning cold as he lifted his head, hurling the brush in his hand forward like a sharp blade filled with killing intent.

But the visitor easily caught it.

"Not bad, my efforts were not in vain, teaching you was worthwhile, you’re becoming more vigilant, my disciple." A hoarse voice sounded.

Seeing the visitor, Xingyin’s face changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward, bowing with trembling voice, "Master, I didn’t know it was you, please forgive me..."

Tang Yichen waved his hand dismissively, handing the caught brush back to Xingyin. Then he walked to the desk, glanced at the woman in the portrait, and smiled sinisterly before saying, "My disciple, you’ve just killed her mother, and now you won’t spare even her?"

"Master, what do you mean? I truly like them. If it weren’t for her desperate resistance, how could I have failed?" Xingyin replied.

Tang Yichen was merely making a remark and was not genuinely interested in it. He knew that the royal families of the countries in the Western Regions were in great disarray. He said, "This time I’ve come to ask my disciple for a favor."

"Master, hasn’t your Divine Skill already reached Great Success?" Xingyin responded instinctively, thinking that he was here again to demand something from him.

"What, my disciple is unwilling to help?" Tang Yichen’s voice was very calm, almost devoid of warmth. He said, "Without me, you wouldn’t have achieved what you have today."

"I wouldn’t dare," Xingyin’s voice carried a tinge of panic as he quickly said, "Just instruct me, Master."

"I need you to..." Tang Yichen began to give low-voiced instructions.

"So many people?" Xingyin raised an eyebrow, asking, "Who are you planning to capture, Master? Even with your power, are you unsure of success?"

"If it’s not something you should know, don’t ask. Just do as you are told," Tang Yichen’s tone was icy. He continued, "Except for me, kill anyone who comes out of the Underground Palace without exception."

Tang Yichen flipped his palm, producing a small porcelain bottle to hand to Xingyin, "Coat the arrowheads with this potion to break through defenses of Innate Spiritual Qi. Remember, this potion should be applied when needed, not in advance, or it won’t be effective. Complete this task, and I will ensure you step into the Divine Power Realm."

"Thank you, Master," Xingyin said respectfully after receiving it.

Tang Yichen knew that to make a horse run well, you had to feed it properly, so he offered Xingyin some incentives. He pulled a small packet of Medicinal Powder from his bosom and handed it to Xingyin, saying:

"Use this Medicinal Powder along with the Seductive Fragrance I gave you before, and even the most chaste and virtuous woman will become your plaything. Moreover, it has a slight hallucinogenic effect. With prolonged use, it can even make her fall in love with you."

Xingyin’s eyes brightened.

...

Nighttime.

In the side room.

Chen Mo was exercising his body in cultivation on the bed. After arriving in the Western Regions, and with no women to warm his bed, Chen Mo spent almost all his free time on cultivation.

Opening the system panel.

"Tomorrow, the Vajra Skill should reach Intermediate..." Chen Mo clenched his fist, observing the faint traces of azure seeping into his arm, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

Without women, the progress in cultivation moved faster.

"Keep going..."

Chen Mo planned to seize the momentum and cultivate the Vajra Skill to Intermediate tonight.

Nalan Yiren and Si Song were both outside watching over the people, leaving Chen Mo alone in the room.
