Mu Jixue's mind was about to explode, she couldn't take it anymore.
She wanted to go back quickly.
She had no time to sleep tonight.
Chapter 54: Huang Mao and the Protagonist Will Attract Each Other
The night was quiet, and the sun rose.
Yun Zhonghe had only rested briefly this night, but he couldn't stand it. As soon as dawn broke, he took his sword and went to the courtyard to practice.
Perhaps because Mu Jixue had finally completed her Cultivation Technique transfer and then leveled up, entering the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, Yun Zhonghe was so energetic that he didn't want to rest at all.
The deduction of Limitless Swordplay had begun. Using brute force, he tried each move one by one, not just for show, but actually expending spiritual power to perform the sword moves. If a sword move could smoothly connect with the first ten moves after they were successfully performed, it meant that was the eleventh move.
Therefore, this kind of deduction heavily relied on resources. Without enough pills to replenish spiritual power, one would likely be drained of spiritual power after only a few attempts.
Just like a young man who rewards himself to death, he would become dry and shriveled.
So, only Yun Zhonghe could afford to play this way.
This also made Yun Zhonghe deeply realize what a failure he was, despite having such a great advantage in the original plot, he still managed to mess it up.
While deducing the swordplay, Yun Zhonghe could also practice the proficiency of Limitless Swordplay along the way.
He planned to spend the following days like this.
The task of building good relationships with Huang Aotian and the female lead was temporarily put aside. He had gained quite a bit of favor recently. Being too eager for quick success was not good. Digging too deep all at once would only cause pain. He needed to let the other party adapt to his presence first. Only after they got used to it could he slowly grind, which would become more comfortable.
Three days passed peacefully.
Only on the first day, Yun Zhonghe practiced swordplay until noon. He was called out by Tao Jiu'er to go shopping, had a meal at a restaurant outside, and then bought two sets of Neon Clothes Spell garments at the market in the east of the city.
This was the promised compensation from the previous day.
So-called Spell garments refer to clothes that reach the quality of magical tools, usually woven from special materials, and have the effect of increasing defense and magic resistance.
If they reach the quality of Magic Treasures, they can also enhance the Cultivator's Spell attack damage and other more Advanced effects, and some can even increase cultivation speed.
However, in Cangzhou City, being able to buy a Spell garment of Magic Treasure quality was considered quite good.
But for Tao Jiu'er, what she cared about was not the practicality of the Spell garment, but whether it looked good.
The female Cultivator Spell garments produced by Treasure Pavilion were all fashionable and trendy, the favorites of female Cultivators.
He accompanied Tao Jiu'er to eat and buy clothes, and afterwards, they watched a shadow puppet show, ate sugar-coated hawthorns and pastries.
Yun Zhonghe's wallet became increasingly thin, and his heart ached a little.
Indeed, no matter in which world, going out with girls was the most expensive activity.
But Yun Zhonghe had a change of heart, wasn't he and Tao Jiu'er on a date?!
In his previous life, he was a young man until his death. Before being sent away by the truck, he was still single and had not experienced the feeling of a woman. And now he could even date a beautiful girl...
Thinking this, he suddenly felt much more balanced and began to enjoy the date.
Besides buying clothes and dating with Tao Jiu'er, Yun Zhonghe also went to the Immortal Alliance halfway through to check on the task he had previously entrusted the receptionist to post.
Since he had given benefits to the Immortal Alliance, they naturally handled matters reliably. It was said that the person Yun Zhonghe had specified had already been arranged to collect Sky Dew Grass in Creek Water Town three days ago.
Once he went there, he wouldn't be back for at least ten days to half a month.
Yun Zhonghe felt relieved.
Afterward, Yun Zhonghe went home to practice swordplay until the next day when Mu Jixue was finally free and came to find him. Yun Zhonghe dealt with this White-haired Loli briefly and arranged for her to stay with Lin Zhongyu.
Mu Jixue was relieved to see Lin Zhongyu safe and sound, with her chastity intact.
...
The beautiful days of practicing swordplay passed in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day to carry out the mission. Yun Zhonghe had prepared the necessary items early and packed them into a portable Qiankun bag.
The Qiankun bag and the storage ring serve the same purpose, but the former can only be considered a magical tool, while the latter is a Magic Treasure, and their effects are not on the same level at all.
Yun Zhonghe's Qiankun bag only had a space of one cubic meter. Although it wasn't large, it was enough for Yun Zhonghe.
Don't underestimate this small Qiankun bag. Among magical tools, this is the highest grade. After all, it incorporates the power of spatial Laws, which is enough to surpass most magical tools.
Only someone with Yun Zhonghe's status could afford to wear this thing.
He put on his Spell garment, wore his golden sword, and kept his Qiankun bag securely.
Today, the weather was excellent, the sun was bright, and the sunlight shone on the distant mountains shrouded in thin mist, bringing an exceptionally fresh feeling.
Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath. What a natural oxygen bar.
It had to be admitted that the air in this world was truly fresh. Although technology in his previous life was developed, environmental damage was severe, and the air quality was far inferior to here.
Feeling refreshed, it felt like everything would go smoothly.
Yun Zhonghe was confident and had great faith in this mission.
Before leaving, he said hello to Tao Jiu'er, lest his older sister blame him for sneaking away without a word.
However, Tao Jiu'er told Yun Zhonghe that it seemed Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu had also left early in the morning, and they were also fully armed like Yun Zhonghe, but she didn't know what they were going to do.
Yun Zhonghe hadn't interacted with them much in the past two days and wasn't aware of the inside story. He probably thought they wanted to gain more experience before heading to Xuantian Sect.
After all, once they entered Xuantian Sect, there wouldn't be many opportunities to go down the mountain.
Yun Zhonghe didn't pay too much attention to this matter. He had to take care of his own affairs first and head to the Immortal Alliance in the east of the city to gather.
After a while, Yun Zhonghe arrived at the Immortal League Branch.
Looking from a distance, he could see that someone was already waiting in the open space next to the Immortal League Branch.
"Uh..."
Yun Zhonghe suddenly froze because he saw two familiar faces in the crowd.
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu!
Why are Huang Aotian and the female lead here too!
In the original plot, this mission should have had little to do with them. Mu Jixue might have just happened to pass by at the end, then used a cheat to help deal with the mission BOSS, and also saved the villain cannon fodder Qin Hongye.
But why...
Yun Zhonghe noticed the two girls, and they also noticed Yun Zhonghe.
Lin Zhongyu's calm and pretty face suddenly sparkled, while in contrast, the White-haired Loli looked as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
Damn it! What the hell! Why is this Huang Mao everywhere!
Mu Jixue took Lin Zhongyu out on a mission precisely because she didn't want Lin Zhongyu to stay in the Yun Mansion, so the two of them agreed to go out and gain some experience.
She even chose a mission that felt like it would take a long time, so she could spend a few less days in the Yun Mansion.
But she didn't expect to run into Yun Zhonghe here again!
Mu Jixue was about to lose it!
She now wished she could tell Lin Zhongyu: This Yun Zhonghe must be following us, he has ulterior motives!
But remembering Lin Zhongyu's lecture to her before, and the help Yun Zhonghe had always given them, she really couldn't bring herself to say it.
But her intuition felt that this journey would be full of danger.
Having grown up, this was the first time Mu Jixue felt like she was about to cry from anxiety.

Chapter 55: Huang Mao is Too Perfect
It was truly unexpected that Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu would also be in the team.
One could only say that the current plot had gone wild to the point where he had no idea what would happen. The original plot was almost losing its reference value, with only some background settings being useful.
Oh well, he could only go with it.
"What a coincidence, you two are here too."
"It really is a coincidence. I didn't expect Yun to participate in this mission as well. It makes me feel much more at ease."
Lin Zhongyu was clearly much more normal today. She should have completely gotten over the embarrassment of hugging Yun Zhonghe before.
However, when talking to Yun Zhonghe, she still intentionally or unintentionally brushed her hair, and even she didn't realize she was tidying her clothes.
After Lin Zhongyu finished speaking, she specifically looked at Mu Jixue.
Yun is here, why aren't you saying hello?
Although she didn't speak, Mu Jixue could sense Lin Zhongyu's reproach.
"That, that... Yun, what a coincidence," Mu Jixue said with tears in her eyes, as if she had been kidnapped and forced to greet someone.
"What's wrong, Xue'er? Your tone is strange?"
"Nothing... My throat is just a little uncomfortable..."
"..."
Looking at Mu Jixue's obviously lying appearance, Lin Zhongyu didn't know what to say about her.
She had said before that she would get along well with Yun Zhonghe, but now she was acting like this again.
Yun Zhonghe was clearly very good to them!
Was it necessary to be so resistant?
It seemed that after returning, she would have to have a deep conversation with Xue'er...
After greeting Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu, Yun Zhonghe also had to get to know the other teammates.
A total of seven people were needed for this mission. Besides Yun Zhonghe and the two girls, Yun Zhonghe was not familiar with the other four.
One male Cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, two female Cultivators in the late Qi Refinement Stage, and one male Cultivator in the late Qi Refinement Stage.
Yun Zhonghe stepped forward and greeted them.
Among them, one male and one female were siblings, named Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue respectively, from the Xiao family, both in the late Qi Refinement Stage.
The two were very enthusiastic and recognized Yun Zhonghe at a glance, after all, Yun Zhonghe was now a famous person in Cangzhou City.
They didn't expect to be able to team up with the Cangzhou Three Heroes at the same time.
"Cangzhou Three Heroes?"
"That's right, Yun, this is the title for you, Lin, and Mu. You are now the most outstanding young talents in our Cangzhou City!"
Yun Zhonghe smiled and nodded, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on the other two young women beside Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue.
Perhaps Yun Zhonghe had developed a habit. When he saw female characters who had contact with Huang Aotian, he would first check if they were one of the female leads.
Fortunately, Yun Zhonghe didn't recognize either of them, so they should just be passerby characters.
Xiao Yang and Xiao Yue were very enthusiastic and immediately introduced Yun Zhonghe to the other two young women.
Among them, the female Cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage was named Song Ziwei. She was not a local Cultivator of Cangzhou City, but from another place, a Disciple of Heaven Sword Sect, who happened to be gaining experience here in Cangzhou City and accepted this mission.
Song Ziwei was dressed quite luxuriously and looked unapproachable, holding her sword and not speaking, but when she met Yun Zhonghe's gaze, she still nodded very politely.
The other female Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage was named Luo Qing, a rogue Cultivator from Cangzhou City. She didn't belong to any aristocratic family or power and relied entirely on her own efforts to Cultivate to the late Qi Refinement Stage, which was very difficult.
She looked very shy and nervously stepped forward to greet Yun Zhonghe when she saw him.
These seven people were all the team members for this mission.
Yun Zhonghe thought he had gotten up quite early, but he didn't expect to be the last one to arrive. He immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag, poured out the pills contained inside, and gave a few to each person.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I overslept."
Yun Zhonghe was generous, giving out Grade 2 pills. All his Grade 1 pills had been given away to Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu before.
"Yun is too kind, we didn't wait long either."
Xiao Yang, Xiao Yue, and Luo Qing were all embarrassed. For them, these Grade 2 pills were too precious.
"It's what I should do, and if there are any accidents during the mission later, these pills might save your lives."
Yun Zhonghe, who knew in advance that this mission was full of risks, felt it was necessary to provide some protection for his teammates.
