As Qu Feiyan glanced at Dongfang Bubai, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "He's a master at the peak of the Celestial Realm, yet he's always eavesdropping on other people's conversations."

However, as Dongfang Bubai's gaze gently shifted to Qu Feiyan, a bright smile bloomed on Qu Feiyan's face.

There wasn't a trace of dissatisfaction with Dongfang Bubai on his face.

At this moment, Chu Qinghe asked Xiao Zhao to take out the wooden box that was on the desk in the room.

A few moments later, after Xiao Zhao placed the wooden box on the table, Chu Qinghe opened the box, revealing eight wooden carvings that he had made yesterday and today.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Qinghe moved the seven wooden carvings in the box to their respective positions. He then said, "I have adjusted the Mingyu Gong, the Sunflower Manual, and the Divine Water Technique, upgrading them from mid-grade Heaven Rank to high-grade Heaven Rank."

"I have sealed the specific cultivation path inside the wooden carving. After you are familiar with these cultivation paths, you can switch your cultivation techniques."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai, and the others' eyes lit up, and they all picked up the wooden carvings.

Only Wanwan looked left and right, and finally pointed to herself, saying, "Where's mine?"

In response to Wanwan's question, Chu Qinghe said, "You still have a lot to cultivate right now. There's no rush for cultivation techniques. Let's talk about them after you've improved your sword intent and other martial arts!"

Chu Qinghe only received three "Cultivation Technique Advancement Cards" this time.

Moreover, Dongfang Bubai and the others had already mastered several sword intents at the perfect level.

The Four Symbols of Heavenly Will, the Steps to Immortality, and the Sword of Innate Formlessness have all reached the level of "returning to simplicity and authenticity".

Wanwan had only been in the Ming Dynasty for a short time with Chu Qinghe and the others.

There is much for Wanwan to learn and practice in terms of sword intent and martial arts.

Compared to Dongfang Bubai and the others, it wouldn't be too late to improve Wanwan's "Heavenly Demon Great Art" after obtaining the cultivation technique advancement card from the system later.

Upon hearing this, Wanwan simply said "Oh" and didn't seem to care.

Anyway, now that Zhu Yuyan has sent her to Chu Qinghe's side, there's no rush for many things.

A moment later, as the true essence within the wooden carving circulated through the bodies of the group along a more complex and profound route, Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji had all memorized the path of this new cultivation technique.

But compared to the others, Dongfang Bubai's face showed a greater degree of joy when he opened his eyes.

After the true energy in her body subsided, Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe with a slight puzzlement and said, "Since brother-in-law had already adjusted our cultivation method before, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

In response to Lianxing's question, Dongfang Bubai said calmly, "Because she doesn't want to interfere in the battle between me and this stupid woman, lest she appear to be biased."

Hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Lianxing, Qu Feiyan, and the others all looked puzzled, clearly not understanding the meaning behind them.

However, Yaoyue and Shuimu Yinji, who were standing to the side, seemed to have guessed something based on what Dongfang Bubai had just said, and their faces showed a hint of realization.

In response, Jellyfish Yin Ji said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that after Sister Dongfang's 'Sunflower Manual' is upgraded to the upper-grade Heaven Rank, it will be of greater help to improve Sister Dongfang's strength."

As she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe with a beaming smile.

Meeting Jellyfish Yin Ji's gaze, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "More or less!"

Unlike Yaoyue's "Mingyu Gong" and Shuimu Yinji's "Shenshui Jue", which are both pure internal energy cultivation methods.

Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Manual" is a set of martial arts. After it is upgraded to the upper-level Heaven Rank, both the internal energy cultivation method and the accompanying martial arts are improved accordingly.

Therefore, for Shuimu Yinji and Yaoyue, improving their cultivation techniques meant improving the quality of their true essence. However, for Dongfang Bubai, it meant an overall improvement in the quality of the martial arts he cultivated, which undoubtedly contributed to his strength.

Before Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue have decided who will win, Chu Qinghe's act of handing over the upgraded Sunflower Manual to Dongfang Bubai at this time does indeed seem somewhat biased.

This is inconsistent with Chu Qinghe's usual behavior when facing Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.

The main point is to treat everyone equally and distribute affection equally.

Then, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "This cultivation method is adjusted based on the original 'Sunflower Manual' and 'Bright Jade Skill' that you practiced. It won't take you too long to successfully switch to the new cultivation method. Let's leave after you have finished switching to the new cultivation method!"

Upon hearing this, neither Dongfang Bubai nor Yaoyue refuted it, but obediently nodded in agreement.

Taking in the reactions of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, Shuimu Yinji sighed inwardly.

Perhaps, only Chu Qinghe in this world could make Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue so obedient.

And she, Jellyfish Princess, also wanted to become the second person like that.

"The thought of Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue being so well-behaved in front of me is so exciting!"

As she pondered the matter, Jellyfish Yin Ji, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue before her, and the smile on her face gradually deepened.

29.

As the morning sun rose, after breakfast, Qu Feiyan watched as Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, Xue Qianxun, and Lianxing left. Then, she put her hands on her hips.

"Finally free!"

Seeing Qu Feiyan's excited and happy appearance, Shuimu Yinji and Lin Shiyin couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.
