Insufficient balance

  Tang Hao lay alone on the sleeper of the train, actually he could have taken a plane, but for some reason, he wanted to calm down and think carefully, perhaps the train was the best choice.

  Zhong Ying's storage bag had nothing but some clothes, some medicine and spirit stones. Of course, there was also her cultivation technique called Hunyuan Jindao, but Tang Hao didn't know how to open the gate of the law, nor did he have any way to start.

  Tang Hao's current body has the advantages of both Liangzi and Zhongying, with Zhongying's appearance paired with Liangzi's perfect figure making him a stunning beauty. However, Tang Hao doesn't have the mood to appreciate this, perhaps Qin Sihan has somehow entered his heart, although he is unwilling to admit it as he thinks only of meeting Yunxi.

  "Lin Yundan!" Tang Hao suddenly spat out these three words. "What kind of person are you, anyway? Why do I feel like I don't recognize you at all?"

  Tang Hao was taken aback, even if Lin Yun Dan really was the one who had sent him, what could he do? Lin Yun Dan's strength was such that even Ning Yan, sleeping in his hand chain, couldn't match her, let alone himself. Moreover, even if Lin Yun Dan really did allow Tang Hao to kill her, Tang Hao wasn't sure if he could bring himself to do it, and at this point, he had even thought of various excuses to acquit her.

  But Tang Hao knew that first of all, he had to investigate the matter clearly. If Lin Yun Dan was really that kind of person, Tang Hao believed that he would not show mercy either.

  Tang Hao returned to the Sea of Consciousness and saw two white light clusters. Tang Hao knew that these were the souls of Liang Zi and Zhong Ying. As long as he swallowed Zhong Ying's soul, he would be able to obtain Zhong Ying's memories, and he would also be one step closer to the truth.

  However, Tang Huan would never do that. He still remembered what Yun Xi said before he left: he must not absorb other people's memories, or else he would no longer be himself.

  Tang Hao's current cultivation has reached the peak of the fifth layer of Qi Refining, and now that he has become a formal disciple of Lingxiao Sect, Tang Hao is no longer afraid of not getting the skills he wants.

  "Where are you from, beautiful?" A man who looked somewhat handsome on the opposite bed asked Tang Hao.

  If it were the old Tang Hao, he would have been delighted to chat with others to kill time on the train. However, after all that had happened, Tang Hao was already tired of these things.

  Tang Hao became more introverted and was unwilling to have too much contact with people who were unrelated, perhaps this was also a way of self-protection.

  Tang Hao gave the man a cold glance and didn't say anything.

  The man suddenly felt a chill down his spine and stopped flirting, turning his head away, not daring to look at Tang Hao.

  Although that's the case, Tang Hao's ideals and goals have never changed. However, he knows that to achieve his goals, he must constantly improve his strength and become more mature and stable. He can't easily trust anyone, or else he'll still be deceived by others.

  At the same time, for those treacherous and cunning people, Tang Huang is now resentful to the bone. Tang Huang will not leave any face anymore, but will use even more treacherous means to deal with them.

  After several days of traveling, Tang Huan finally returned to the foot of Fengyun Sect, only to find that he had become Zhong Ying instead of Tang Wan'er. Tang Huan put on a white palace dress and didn't dare wear his old clothes, but the cyan silk ribbon and jade hairpin remained unchanged. The cyan silk ribbon was too important, and the significance of the jade hairpin was also extremely significant. Of course, Tang Huan did not forget to wear that inconspicuous-looking decorative wristband either.

  "Zhong Shimei, how's the task completion?" Wu Lian had come forward early on, while Song Congwei stood behind him, wearing a plain-colored palace attire, her complexion several shades paler than before, but the aura emanating from her body was greatly changed, needless to say she had successfully built her foundation.

  Tang Hao shook his head, "Sorry, we encountered Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although we managed to get rid of them with a trick, the other three are unaccounted for and probably have no chance of survival. It's all my fault, I'm willing to accept punishment."

  Song Ningwei's face was filled with fatigue, and she comforted her, "Don't worry too much, cousin. After all, you encountered a foundation-building cultivator, and it's already good that you managed to keep your life. Don't worry, the rewards you deserve will still be yours, I'll make arrangements with the Duty Office."

  Cousin! Zhong Ying is actually Song Ningwei's cousin, but thinking about it, there's nothing strange about it. The influence of inherited spiritual roots is still quite large, and many cultivators are often relatives. It's not surprising that Zhong Ying is Song Ningwei's cousin.

  However, Tang Hao wouldn't use this as a bargaining chip. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Uncle. I don't know where Lin is."

  "Don't mention that traitor again, she actually poisoned Song Shizu and ran away!"

  Song Ningwei finally couldn't help but burst into tears, saying: "That cheap woman somehow got her hands on some strange poison, and now my father is dead and can't even be buried, he can only be sealed away forever. Just a few years ago my brother died, just a few months ago my dual cultivation partner died, and now even my father has left me, why is my life so bitter!"

  Tang Hao still couldn't accept this reality, although he wasn't very familiar with Song Shizu, every time they met gave him a good impression, and he was extremely trusting of Lin Yundan. Lin Yundan could actually do such a thing, it seemed that Lin Yundan was really not the same as before, but just a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

  Tang Hao comforted him: "Master Uncle would be sad and adapt to changes. If Master Uncle were still alive, he wouldn't want you to be like this either."

  Song Ningwei nodded and said: "I know, Lin Yundan! I must kill you."

  Tang Hao bid farewell to the two and arrived at the duty house, where the Ling Feng Sect issued door missions. The three wanted posters were also hung in the most conspicuous place.

  Tang Hao, swallowed the Lingmo body, good at seizing people's bodies, and turned them into puppets. Task difficulty: Yellow level, task reward: Heavenly level.

  Lin Yundan, a deceitful and unfilial disciple, poisoned his master by putting toxic medicine in his prescription. Mission difficulty: mysterious level, mission reward: earthly level.

  Lust Demon, a demon of lust and evil, skilled at manipulating human hearts. Currently hiding in the body of an armless woman, waiting for an opportunity to switch to a new host. Task difficulty: Earth level, task reward: Earth level.

  ……

  Tang Hao couldn't help but smile wryly, never expecting their names to be so similar again.

  Tang Hao received the task reward and took Zhong Ying's identity token, entering the Book Pavilion.

  Tang Hao was flipping through the books in the library, but he didn't see any complete set of five-element kung fu techniques.

  "Xiao Yingzi, didn't you have the Hunyuan Golden Manual? What are you still looking for?" An old man appeared behind Tang Hao.

  It's okay, Tang Huan had inquired beforehand that he was the Venerable of the Book Pavilion, and no one knew his true cultivation, so they simply called him Venerable.

  "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, I'd like to see if there's something more suitable for me." Tang Hao made up an excuse.

  Wen Shu burst out laughing: "You little girl has started treating me like a monkey, the kung fu you're practicing is the complete set of Five Elements Kung Fu's Metal Element Kung Fu. If we talk about Yellow Grade Kung Fu, then this book of yours is probably the best one. How could you bear to exchange it?"

  Tang Hao was slightly delighted, not expecting that Zhong Ying had already practiced, which saved him the effort of condensing his spiritual power. However, Tang Hao couldn't open the jade scroll, so he said: "I've encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I want to take a look at the other four books to see if I can gain some inspiration."

  "Ah, these five manuals complement each other," said Fang Shu, nodding. "Who knows, they might spark some inspiration. However, you know that you've already inscribed the Hunyuan Golden Manual; the others can't be inscribed, so you can only read and understand them." Fang Shu reminded him.

  Tang Hao nodded, no big deal if he had to come a few more times, anyway he could enter and exit freely, and it wasn't necessarily necessary to record.

  Man Gong brought Tang Hao into the inner chamber of the first floor, where there was an incense table with five jade slips on it, undoubtedly the Five Elements Technique.

  "You take a look yourself, it's just for looking, don't think you can get away with it." The old man continued to remind him.

  "Thank you, Uncle Fan." Tang Hao saw Uncle Fan off and began to examine the five jade slips.

  Tang Hao finished reading the first jade slip, overjoyed and surprised that he had memorized it all, thinking that Song Yingwei could easily call out his name that day, was this a family inheritance? It seems that swallowing Zhong Ying was indeed the right thing to do.

  It wasn't long before Tang Hao had memorized all five jade slips, and he was overjoyed. His mom wouldn't have to worry about his studies anymore.
