Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 113: Cultivation Technique - Integrated Union, Advanced Grade

"We have received reliable information that Xin Zhuo and his group will pass through here!"

The one speaking was Old Man Murong Zhe, his face carrying an inscrutable gloominess. "Xin Zhuo is already finished, but the Four Families of Fufeng have lost all face. We must settle the debts and grievances with him!"

His current mood was actually quite complicated. When his grandson, Murong Xiu, defected, it caused the Murong Clan to lose face that had been built up over hundreds of years. He had originally intended to kill Xin Zhuo, but was stopped by Master Li. At the time, he believed that the Autumn Palace Pavilion had taken a liking to Xin Zhuo.

That matter could have been left at that. Xin Zhuo entering the Autumn Palace Pavilion would still be a way out, and he could find a way to resolve it in the future.

Afterwards, the Four Families discussed and prepared to marry Xin Zhuo, giving him a background. This would be a way out, after all, the Four Families had been attacked by thieves, how could they save face?

Who would have expected that the Autumn Palace Pavilion and the Water Moon Nunnery would plot to kill Xin Zhuo!

Yuan Mo'er's failed proposal, regardless of the reason, once again caused the Four Families to lose face.

"That's right! It's time to settle with him!"

Yuan Jia's family head, Yuan Haozong, had the appearance of a gentleman, stroking his three strands of long beard, his eyes revealing a hint of sharpness.

This time, Yuan Jia had lost the most face. The marriage alliance between the Four Families and Xin Zhuo was originally a negotiated matter, but unexpectedly, his granddaughter, Yuan Mo'er, volunteered to marry Xin Zhuo. How could he not know that the girl had taken a liking to Xin Zhuo?

What a pity!

That girl has always cared about face and is competitive. Regardless of the outcome this time, the marriage alliance did not happen. After returning home, she went on a hunger strike for seven days and was already in a state of decline.

"It's only right!"

Song Jia's family head, Song Wei, and Chen Jia's family head, Chen Qi, nodded in agreement.

In fact, it was unnecessary for the four family heads to take action against a disabled Xin Zhuo. It was just that family clans valued face and ceremony.

Punishing Xin Zhuo was secondary, what was more important was to rectify the reputation of the family that had repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of bandits and to educate the younger generation.

Behind them were hundreds of young men and women, the pillars of the Four Families. Murong Lei, Chen Guiyan, and Song Dongxi were among them, attending as spectators this time.

...

"Ding Ling Ling..."

The carriage slowly moved forward accompanied by the sound of wind chimes. Cui Ying'er had already adjusted her mood and went out to switch with Han Qianniang.

Driving the carriage was tiring, and Han Qianniang's face showed some fatigue. After entering the carriage and seeing the head of the family, who had removed the silver needle and was in a daze, she stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm so tired, head of the family."

Saying that, she covered the blanket tighter for the head of the family, then carefully curled up at the other end of the blanket, resting her head on the head of the family's legs, and fell asleep.

The contrast was stark.

Xin Zhuo remained silent, his gaze focused on the Lunar Serenity Well in front of him:

[Cui Ying'er, eighth rank.]

[Han Qianniang, eighth rank.]

[Huang Dagui, lower eighth rank.]

[Bai Jianxi, lower eighth rank.]

[Han Jiulang, lower eighth rank.]

[Xiao Huang, elementary spirit communication, flash strike, third class.]

These were the attributes of the first six spirits, cultivated for the second time in the Lunar Serenity Well, steadily improving.

[Murong Xiu, seventh rank.

Talent: Disguise. (Not shared with the well owner.)

Can eliminate.]

After cultivating for the second time last night and drinking the Lunar Serenity Well water, he not only broke through to the seventh rank today, but also immediately awakened his talent. He truly deserved to be a scion of a prestigious family, sweeping through the nine realms with a single sword!

Then he looked at the other Yikui House members, their eyes radiating dazzling light.

[Bai Xuanji, debt 100, 18 years old, remaining lifespan 90, sixth rank, beautiful appearance, cold temperament, skilled in warfare, strategic.

Martial Art: Profound Battle Soldier Art.

Technique: Profound Thirteen Swords of the Skilled Warrior.

Profound Hidden Mysterious Soldier Body Technique.

Mahayana's Hundred Shifting Steps.]

[Huo Liansheng, debt 100, 21 years old, remaining lifespan 59, sixth rank, handsome, skilled in battle formations, steady, strategic.

Martial Art: Profound Formation Gathering Art.

Technique: Profound Opening Tiger Splitting Style.

Profound Astonishing Martial Three-Part Step.]

[Li Xiyue, debt 100, 19 years old, remaining lifespan 48, sixth rank, beautiful appearance, masochistic, strategic.

Martial Art: Three Yin Returning to Origin Art.

Technique: Profound Floating Shadow.

Profound Northern Cang Soul-Stealing Needle.]

The three of them were all sixth rank, frighteningly high, and their martial arts were also extremely transcendent.

However... Li Xiyue enjoys masochism? I really didn't see that.

Continuing to look down, the remaining five new spirits were all lower sixth rank or seventh rank, with various martial arts and techniques.

After that, there was a long string of "?????".

This is the remaining twelve people who have already drunk the Lunar Serenity Well water, qualifying for the ritual, but unable to cause the ritual to take place in order.

That's right! The position of the Lunar Serenity Well ritual is not enough, and it can actually be queued up. From a testing perspective, this is also due to the personal ability of the well owner.

Xin Zhuo took a deep breath and stretched lazily.

Steady!

Not in vain for this life and death experience!

Absorb:

[Intricate Battle Soldier Art!]

[Intricate Hidden Strange Body Technique!]

[Intricate Opening Tiger Splitting Style!]

[Intricate Floating Shadow!]

These are the most outstanding qualities shared from Bai Xuanji and the other two. Two from Bai Xuanji, one from He Liancheng, and one from Li Xiyue.

The focus is on one hidden and one empty.

Next:

[Intricate Three Elements Dragon Hand]

[The 36 Marvelous Palms of Mahayana]

[The Astonishing Practitioner Transformation Technique of Mahayana]

...

[Third-grade Dog Strike Talent]

[Deep and rich sixth rank state]

...

Han Qiniang moved her little head comfortably at Xin Zhuo's feet, causing his legs to ache.

Xin Zhuo didn't care about anything else, already feeling dizzy from the dazzling array of cultivation techniques before him.

Absorb!

Integrated Union!

Exchange!

After half an hour, the individual abilities in the well emerged:

[Well Owner: Xin Zhuo]

[Moonlight: 3/100]

[Realm: Sixth rank (Eighteen out of ten into sixth rank), True Qi flowing like a vast ocean]

...

[Method: Yin & Yang Battle Exchange Mad Tyrant Heart Technique, Note: Can temporarily exchange technique state with a practitioner within a higher realm during a decisive battle.]

[Technique: Xiaoxin Flying Daggers (Third-grade)

Crazy Dog Strike, a series of bewildering palms. Note: Can manipulate strength and weakness.

Tiger Riding Dog Killing, Shadowless Mad Spear.

Empty and Hidden Nine Transformations Light Body Technique.]

Xin Zhuo's face was filled with the pain of exchanging techniques.

His realm had advanced to the sixth rank, just a little short of advancing to the Advanced Grade sixth rank!

However, he absorbed the Integrated Union of the cultivation technique very seriously, but the name was still a mess.

Since he started practicing martial arts, besides stabilizing his realm, he sometimes couldn't even remember the names of the cultivation techniques.

Could it be that there are too many and too diverse techniques, and even the Lunar Serenity Well itself is a bit confused?

He looked at the little yellow dog that had run tired and been thrown up beside him, not knowing when.

The little yellow dog looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

They looked at each other, wordlessly.

Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the sound of horses neighing came from outside.

Cui Ying'er and Murong Xiu's breathing became slightly heavier.

...

"This road is blocked!"

The setting sun cast a golden glow on the more than one hundred people from the four major families, and the sharp knives and swords shimmered with a chilling light.

Song Dongxi coldly swept a glance at Murong Xiu, Huang Dagui, and the others, then looked directly into the carriage. His mood was different from anyone else's. Being defeated and captured by Xin Zhuo was a lifelong shame for him, as well as a disgrace to the Divine Spear Villa.

Although Xin Zhuo was already injured and unable to regain his face through force, he was not the kind of person to kick someone when they were down. But he wanted an attitude, a sincere apology.

This was reasonable!

Old Master Murong Zhe glanced at Murong Xiu, his gaze complex. Then he picked up a teacup from the nearby table, elegantly and calmly took a sip, and said, "The four major families have coexisted with the Zhou Dynasty for more than three hundred years. They cultivate their moral character internally and uphold their rules externally. These rules are the rules of the aristocratic families. Although bandits are vulgar, you must also understand that the dignity of the aristocratic families cannot be offended. Rewards and punishments must be measured. This is the knowledge I am teaching you today."

These words were meant for the young members of the four families to hear.

PS: There are three more chapters. I'll update in the morning. I've outlined them and set a subscription goal of 200. It's embarrassing.
