Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 261 - 258: Assistant Coach

```html

Outside Yujing City, there is a pine forest.

There is a clearing.

This was the place where Chu Zhiyuan and his companions gathered back then.

At this moment, on this clearing, stood a graceful and sweet young girl and a beautiful woman with enduring charm.

"Master, why isn’t he here yet!" The sweet young girl looked at the sky, then towards the South City Gate, worriedly said: "Is he not coming?"

"He will come."

"But he..."

"Alright, Yingying." The beautiful woman smiled and said: "He will come."

"Really?"

"Really." The beautiful woman Xu Suying had a helpless look: "Just wait quietly for him."

"I’m afraid he won’t come." Xu Yingying snorted: "Then I can’t ask him for help in comprehending the next level."

"Yingying, the Fourth Prince’s identity is different now." Xu Suying said: "Don’t be so commanding to him, or he might truly refuse to help."

"Who’s commanding him." Xu Yingying instantly denied, dissatisfied, and said: "Master, whose side are you on?"

"Alright, alright." Xu Suying said: "Just be more mindful."

"I know, I’ve always been very mindful." Xu Yingying said proudly.

Xu Suying laughed lightly.

It was unnecessary to say more; Yingying always speaks her mind, not flattering because Chu Zhiyuan is strong, nor looking down on him because he’s weak.

That’s not a bad thing.

"He’s coming!" Xu Yingying suddenly waved her hand excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.

Chu Zhiyuan rode the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse, like two beams of golden light, instantly arrived in front of Xu Yingying.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse stopped steadily, its eyes full of spiritual energy curiously looked at Xu Yingying and Xu Suying.

"Oh? This is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse?" Xu Yingying suddenly widened her bright eyes, reaching out to touch them.

Xu Suying hurriedly reached out to stop her: "Yingying!"

Xu Yingying stopped her hand and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Can’t I touch them?"

Xu Suying seriously stared at the horses: "What kind of temperament do the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses have, how can you touch them?"

Not only had she heard of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse, but she had also seen them firsthand, witnessing how the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse fended off Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters in Da Zhen.

In short, regardless of who, male or female, beautiful or ugly, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses recognize no one.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "They are much better now, you can try touching them."

Xu Yingying immediately extended her small hand, as white and smooth as white jade, gently reaching out to one of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses’ snouts.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse snorted loudly, turning its head away.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled.

Xu Yingying immediately glared at the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse in dissatisfaction, reaching out to the other Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse.

That Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse also snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Your hand is too fragrant, their sense of smell is keen, and they find it pungent."

"My hand is not fragrant!" Xu Yingying withdrew her jade hand, sniffed it herself, and pouted: "It’s not fragrant at all."

But Chu Zhiyuan knew her hand was indeed fragrant.

She naturally emitted a fragrance, but she had never realized her own scent.

Xu Suying whispered: "The Princely Heir being able to tame these two horses is truly remarkable."

This was a sincere praise.

Throughout Da Zhen, whether a Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster, along with many horse trainers, none could tame the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse was famous, but no one could truly tame them, which was a joke in Da Zhen.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It was just luck, not a skill, achieving Great Grandmaster is the true skill."

"The Princely Heir will have no problem with that." Xu Suying said.

Xu Yingying immediately chimed in: "Are we going to talk about business? Chu Zhiyuan, are you ready?"

"Miss Xu, are you prepared with the Spirit Pill?"

"The Heavenly Ganoderma Building Jade Pill is here!" Xu Yingying took out a small jade bottle from her chest, tossing it in her hand, smugly: "Want it?"

"Alright, where do we cultivate?"

Chu Zhiyuan was curious about what use the Third Grade Heavenly Ganoderma Building Jade Pill would have for him, if it could enhance his meridians.

"We have a manor in the mountains, we can go there, dare you?"

"Afraid of Miss Xu eating me?"

"Hehe... Eat you? Am I a demoness?" Xu Yingying immediately giggled: "Eat you, hehe..."

Chu Zhiyuan’s words inexplicably hit her funny bone, making her laugh uncontrollably.

Xu Suying shook her head helplessly.

This girl, truly doesn’t know how to control or restrain herself.

Others would see her as a silly girl, a crazy girl.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, letting her laugh unrestrainedly.

He liked Xu Yingying’s character.

Innocent and pure, untainted by worldly troubles.

In a thriving world of cultivation, truly rare.

Laughed for a while, stopped laughing, then started again.

Eventually laughed to the point of weakness, Xu Yingying finally stopped, by now her hair was disheveled, her jade face flushed, eyes teary.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Xu Suying beside occasionally frowned as she watched.

Xu Yingying finally stopped, laughed and said: "Chu Zhiyuan, you’re actually quite nice, let’s go then."

"Let’s go."

"Want to compete in Qinggong?"

"Compete."

"Let’s go!" Xu Yingying suddenly transformed into a wisp of smoke, drifting away.

Chu Zhiyuan closely followed.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse turned into two beams of golden light, effortlessly keeping up with the three of them.

──

In the mountains over a hundred miles away, halfway up the mountain was a manor, surrounded by farmland.

The manor was filled with elderly farmers and farm women tending to crops, with only a dozen skilled guards.

Over a hundred elderly farmers and farm women, it seemed like a leisure estate, a manor belonging to some noble family.

Chu Zhiyuan only realized upon entering this manor that it was actually a base of the Jiuli Divine Sect.

It truly didn’t look like it.

Xu Yingying and Chu Zhiyuan quickly sat in a small pavilion, on a small lake behind the manor.

The two sat facing each other, pressing palms, exchanging qi.

While Xu Suying stood nervously at a distance, not approaching too close to disrupt their cultivation.

Chu Zhiyuan felt her warm and gentle qi, nodding secretly.

Truly a prodigy, already at the Fourth Layer Heaven.

While he progressed, she also made swift progress.

And she was even younger, there might be a chance she could reach the Eighth Layer Heaven at his age.

Jiuli Divine Sect was truly not to be underestimated.

He looked with eyes open at the sweet face before him.

Xu Yingying was unaffected, maintaining a sweet yet serious expression, tense and solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

She was still a girl unaware of love.

However, this time it was good that, directly palm to palm, she didn’t find his hands dirty or fuss about propriety between men and women.

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the sweet face before him, letting his thoughts wander.

Unknowingly, he insightfully observed the mental method of the Jiuli Divine Sect, watching her Gang Qi surge, traversing through different meridians in her body without a fixed path, constantly exploring.

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

Could it be that Jiuli Divine Sect’s mental method wasn’t fixed, but one must explore and find their most compatible method?

If indeed so, it was truly mystical beyond compare.

Time slowly passed.

The exploration path of Xu Yingying’s mental method gradually ceased, having formed a stable path.

The Gang Qi circulated along this path, faster and faster, finally "boom!" breaking through one of her copper towers.

Thus, stepping into the Fifth Layer Heaven.

Chu Zhiyuan clicked his tongue, this was too easy, wasn’t it?

This Jiuli Divine Sect’s mental method was so astonishing?

If he practiced this mental method, with his comprehension and insight ability, wouldn’t he progress at lightning speed, faster by three times compared to practicing the Purple Sun Scripture and Jade Lock Gold Barrier Skill now?

Chu Zhiyuan couldn’t help but sigh.

As he opened his eyes, he found Xu Suying looking at him with a faint smile.

He smiled back at Xu Suying, hinting her to rest assured, he wouldn’t recklessly practice Jiuli Divine Sect’s mental method.

He understood why Xu Suying and Xu Yingying were at ease letting him see the operation of Jiuli Divine Sect’s mental method.

Because it lacked the most crucial visualization.

The visualization of Jiuli Divine Sect was profound, far beyond what ordinary people could see.
