Yuan Weiyang was surprised. After the locust flower entered her stomach, she felt a warm sensation, as if the sunlight was shining through her bones!

The Yuan family's spiritual knowledge was unparalleled, and they had a method of refining the body with spiritual knowledge. However, it was a profound technique exclusive to the Yuan family. Unexpectedly, a locust flower could have the same effect, which amazed her.

Not only that, after eating the locust flower, she felt her elemental energy fluctuating and her cultivation improving. She finally realized how much benefit Xu Ying and Yuan Qi had gained during these few days of fooling around!

The two of them, along with the snake, quickly finished roasting and eating the large branch. They felt a surge of heat throughout their bodies, and Yuan Weiyang's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. The elemental energy flowed through her body, cleansing her meridians and marrow.

Xu Ying stood up and performed the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Gong, practicing the eight postures of Tai, Yin, Yuan, Yu, Yi, Yang, Yong, and Zhen.

The snake was also in a cocoon-like state, seemingly practicing the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Gong. Sometimes, its body formed the shape of the Chinese character "乙," and sometimes it formed the shape of the character "凹." After a while, it formed the shape of the character "凸."

Yuan Weiyang sat and watched, faintly hearing the flow of elemental energy and spiritual knowledge within Xu Ying and the snake's bodies. She could also hear the mysterious and unpredictable whispers of their souls, as well as the rustling sound coming from their bone marrow.

It seemed as if there was light within their bodies, gradually rising and circulating through their various acupoints. Divine light permeated from their acupoints, projecting the internal structure of each acupoint into the air. Every detail was clear and vivid. Yuan Weiyang was astonished to find that the internal structure of these acupoints resembled natural caves or palaces!

"This technique is extraordinary. The longer you practice it, the more it changes. It is indeed much better than the Taoist Immortal Book!"

Yuan Weiyang silently observed, and when she saw the projection of these acupoints, she had a realization in her heart. She thought, "From these acupoint projections, I can combine the 'Yuan Dao Sensing of the Heavenly Realms' and the method of internal observation and visualization to create a Divine Treasury technique! Each acupoint in my body will house a divine being, forming a total of 365 divine treasures."

With this idea in mind, inspiration surged within her. She suddenly felt that obtaining the Tai Yin Yuan Yu Gong was no longer important.

"However, I need a clear understanding of the internal structure of these acupoints to perfect the Divine Treasury," she thought to herself.

"You seem a bit pale. Brother Yuan, let's go catch some loaches!"

Xu Ying reached out and pulled Yuan Weiyang up, running towards the river on the tree trunk. Yuan Weiyang stumbled as she was pulled and hurried to catch up with him.

"Why would there be loaches here?" Yuan Weiyang looked at the river in front of her in surprise.

Xu Ying let go of her hand and shouted, "Yuan Qi, go upstream and block the water! We'll dig for loaches downstream. We'll give you two extra!"

Yuan Qi agreed and swam upstream, using his massive body to block the river.

The water flow was not very strong, but due to the slope, a section of the river quickly emptied, leaving only ankle-deep water.

However, the mud was quite deep.

Xu Ying rolled up his pants and said, "Brother Yuan, roll up your pants like this to avoid getting them dirty. Oh, your legs are so fair!"

Yuan Weiyang bent down and rolled up her pants, revealing fair and delicate skin. Xu Ying couldn't help but touch her leg, praising, "As smooth as silk."

Yuan Weiyang felt a little flustered by his touch, but fortunately, Xu Ying had already withdrawn his hand.

Xu Ying then taught her how to roll up her sleeves without them falling down. After that, he jumped into the river, and the mud only reached his knees.

Seeing this, Yuan Weiyang felt relieved and carefully entered the river. She saw Xu Ying digging in the mud with his hands and wondered, "Are there really loaches here? We are at a much higher location than most mountains in the world. How could there be loaches in such a place?"

Xu Ying whispered, "There are. The loaches here are quite large and delicious. You can't find them on land... I found one!"

He quickly pulled his hand out and grabbed Yuan Weiyang's hands, placing them in the mud. He smiled and said, "Try touching it, be careful not to startle it."

Bending over, Yuan Weiyang cautiously touched the mud and exclaimed, "There's nothing here... Oh, it's so big!"

She shouted in surprise, "It's so thick... I can't hold onto it!"

The more she tried to grab it, the more she couldn't. The loach slipped away from her grasp.

Suddenly, the mud churned, and with a snap, a "loach" about five or six feet long jumped out of the mud. It opened its huge mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and lunged towards Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang!

Ordinary loaches were no more than a foot long, with small mouths and whiskers. But this "loach" was astonishingly large, with a dragon-like mouth, dorsal fins, and long whiskers fluttering at the corners of its mouth. It was extremely ferocious.

However, facing Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang, these two young experts, the "loach" had no chance to attack and was knocked unconscious. Both of them were splattered with mud.

"It seems to be a dragon loach!"Yuan Weiyang carefully observed and exclaimed, "It's really a loach! I've seen it in the Yuan family's records. The loach has four whiskers on each side of its mouth, with the head of a dragon and the body of a loach. It's extremely rare! It's recorded in the 'Thousand Ways Record,' 'Supreme Dao Emperor Chronicle,' and 'War Saint Chronicle'!"

Xu Ying threw the loach onto the shore and his eyes sparkled. "Does the book say how to eat it?"

Yuan Weiyang stammered, "N-no, it doesn't say."

Xu Ying shook his head. "The books you read must not be serious. Serious books would introduce how to eat it."

Yuan Weiyang was frustrated. "How is that possible?"

Feeling a bit guilty, Xu Ying changed the subject and said, "Yuan brother, when you touch it, be careful of the pores on the mud. Don't touch the areas with pores. The area below is the head of the loach, and if you touch it, you'll get bitten. The slightly concave area is its tail."

He taught Yuan Weiyang step by step and then caught another loach, letting Yuan Weiyang try to catch it on his own.

Yuan Weiyang's heart was pounding. Although she was much stronger than the loach, the excitement, uneasiness, and the fear of losing something she had never experienced before were truly stimulating.

The two of them dug a section of the river and caught seven loaches. The water upstream kept rising, and Yuan Qi blocked the river, but he couldn't resist it. Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang quickly went ashore.

Yuan Qi released the river, and the water rushed in.

Xu Ying looked at the mud on his body and smiled. "Yuan brother, let's jump into the river and wash ourselves!"

Yuan Weiyang was startled and exclaimed, "Wash? Wash what? How do we wash?"

Xu Ying was puzzled. "Of course, we take off our clothes and jump into the river to wash off the mud on our bodies. How else would we wash? City people are really strange. Later, I'll turn around, and you can help me wash my back. After that, you turn around, and I'll help you wash your back."

He quickly took off his shirt and then went to take off his pants.

Yuan Weiyang's face turned red, and she said, "How can you take off everything?"

Xu Ying looked down and sighed helplessly. "Another one grew!" He said as he forcefully pulled it.

Yuan Weiyang widened her eyes and before she could cover them, she saw Xu Ying, the great demon king, running around naked and happily jumping into the water!

This scene was too shocking, and she couldn't recover for a while!

Xu Ying rushed into the deep water, with the water reaching his neck. He jumped and splashed water towards Yuan Weiyang, laughing, "Yuan brother, come down and play!"

Yuan Weiyang's face turned red, and she lowered her head and walked upstream, shouting loudly, "I'll go wash over there. I'm not used to washing with others..."

Her footsteps became faster and faster as she ran straight to the upstream.

"City people have strange rules. We wash together in the countryside," Xu Ying shook his head.

Yuan Weiyang walked for several miles and almost reached the source of the river before she stopped. She looked around and used her divine sense to search. There was no one around, so she began to undress.

She thought of Xu Ying undressing without hesitation, and her face turned red.

She also thought of Xu Ying running into the river naked, and her face became even hotter.

She took off her last piece of clothing, neatly folded it without a single wrinkle, and stood up carefully, holding her hands in front of her chest. Suddenly, she looked down and used two fingers to pinch a hair, laughing out loud.

She ran towards the river like Xu Ying, shouting and jumping in with a splash of water!

A girl in the river splashed water forcefully, creating splashes and laughing, "So carefree!"

After a long time, she remembered to wash off the dirt on her body. She rubbed and wiped herself repeatedly. She then came to the shallow water and used her divine sense to create a mirror that surrounded her body, checking repeatedly to see if she was clean.

She gently rubbed the areas that were easy to hide dirt, such as under her breasts and the bends of her legs. She even checked the gaps between her toes and her fingernails very carefully before going ashore and putting on her clothes one by one.

She groomed herself in front of the mirror, and after a while, the girl turned into a handsome young man.

Yuan Weiyang returned along the same path and arrived at the place where Xu Ying was bathing. Xu Ying and the big snake were not there, but the scent of delicious food wafted over, making her mouth water.

Yuan Weiyang followed the scent and saw Xu Ying and the big snake using the big bell as a pot. The bell was filled with water, and the loaches were already inside.

The big bell was still shouting, "A short mouth can't eat much, and a short hand can't reach. No one is allowed to talk about today's events, otherwise, I'll smash their skulls!"

Yuan Weiyang hurriedly walked over, feeling both shocked and amused.

This big bell had its own consciousness and could even cultivate. It could communicate with people, clearly making it the highest-level treasure!

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying and the others were using it as a pot to cook loaches, and it didn't feel ashamed at all. On the contrary, it shouted that it would kill anyone who leaked the secret.This shameless style was unexpected.

"Is Master Zhong's injury better?" Yuan Weiyang asked.

Da Zhong praised, "Brother Yuan is considerate, unlike you two, who only want to eat after coming back and don't even ask me. My external injuries have healed, but my internal injuries are still there. The demoness is incredibly powerful, and I need to steal more vitality to erase the mark she left. Hmm, I also need to practice diligently."

"It's stealing vitality," Yuan Qi grumbled.

Da Zhong was furious, clanging loudly, "Stealing is not the same as pilfering! Pilfering, heh..."

The dragon eel soup was full of flavor, and when it entered their stomachs, it made them feel as if their vitality was surging like a dragon eel, clearing their meridians and making them extremely comfortable. The dragon eel meat was also incredibly tender and delicious.

Xu Ying made a bowl out of tree leaves and a chopstick out of the leaf stem. Yuan Weiyang had never thought she could eat so much. She felt that she had eaten and drunk more in this meal than in the past fifteen years combined!

After eating and drinking their fill, the two humans and one snake lay on the ground, sprawled out and motionless.

Da Zhong clamored for them to clean the clock, but they were all too full to even move a finger, let alone deal with such a troublesome task.

Da Zhong cursed and went to the river to clean himself.

After a while, Xu Ying, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Weiyang jumped up and began to practice simultaneously.

Da Zhong was furious and cursed, but he didn't know that the two humans and one snake were only practicing because they had eaten too much dragon eel and had accumulated too much energy in their bodies, making them feel bloated and swollen. It wasn't because they had suddenly become diligent.

Xu Ying and Yuan Qi practiced their guiding techniques while also adopting various strange postures. The two methods did not interfere with each other. Yuan Weiyang practiced the "Yuan Dao Heavenly Sensing" on the side, observing Xu Ying's acupoints and comparing them with the "Yuan Dao Heavenly Sensing". Gradually, a new technique was born in her heart.

When the energy of the dragon eel soup was completely digested, Xu Ying's soul and divine consciousness soared, reaching the first heaven of the Empty Silence realm!

Standing on the first heaven, he looked up and down the world, feeling a surge of pride in his chest. In this chaotic world, could there be a place for a snake catcher like him from Yongzhou?

They threw the locust branches and eel bones into the fire pit, destroyed the evidence, and cleaned up before descending the tree.

Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang jumped down the tree, stepping on the tree bark every dozen feet to borrow some force and continue jumping down, as light as a spirit fox and as agile as a pair of butterflies.

Yuan Qi moved quickly through the gaps in the tree bark and suddenly shouted, "Ah Ying, I've eaten too many good things, and I'm afraid I'll have to break through! This is bad, I might have to molt again!"

Xu Ying stopped and looked back, "Last time you molted, it took you several days to finish. This time, with both breaking through and molting, I'm afraid it will take even longer. You stay on the tree first, and Master Zhong will protect you. After you finish molting, come down and find me."

Da Zhong flew out from behind his head and came to Yuan Qi's side.

Xu Ying turned around and jumped down, speeding up to catch up with Yuan Weiyang.

"Brother Yuan, the Zhou family's ancestor is not a good person. You and Xiao Bo must seize the opportunity to escape when you can," Xu Ying whispered a reminder.

Yuan Weiyang's heart trembled slightly, looking at him with some confusion.

Xu Ying talked about his discovery of the stone chamber in Qin Yan Cave, saying, "He burned all the scriptures that he couldn't take away. If he treats scriptures like this, how would he treat people? Once we decipher the Tuo Lu Immortal Book, we will become the scriptures he can't take away."

Yuan Weiyang understood, "For him, leaving our lives is the same as leaving the scriptures in Qin Yan Cave back then. He burned the scriptures, and he will kill us for the same reason."

They arrived at the foot of the big locust tree and saw the old servant Xiao Bo in a green robe standing there with a serious expression, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

When Yuan Weiyang saw Xiao Bo, she landed and hid her girlish demeanor, returning to the elegant young master persona. She walked towards the old servant in the green robe and said gently, "Xiao Bo, have you been waiting for a long time?"

She turned her head and gave Xu Ying a slight smile, "Demon King Xu, let's meet again another day. I look forward to exchanging ideas with you."

Xu Ying bowed slightly, and Yuan Weiyang also lowered her head slightly.

Xiao Bo glared at Xu Ying fiercely and followed Yuan Weiyang away. However, he didn't know that once the long-imprisoned nature in her heart was released, how long could it be locked away again?
