Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak

Chapter 10: Meng Wuya’s Decision

Chapter 10- Meng Wuya's Decision

Inside the Contribution Hall, Meng Wuya was sitting at his desk with a frown on his old face.

'We're running out of time, there are only ten days left, I need to make my decision by tomorrow. It's either Su Mu or Yang Kai.' Meng Wuya thought, confusion visible on his face.

To help his disciple, Xia Ning Chang, those two were his main options. Not only did both Su Mu and Yang Kai show promising growth in their cultivation, but both of them also cultivate a Yang Attribute Secret Art, making them perfect for what Xia Ning Chang needs.

Not only is he aware of their personalities, but he also asked Xia Ning Chang to tail both of them for a while. But what surprised him was that his disciple wasn't able to make a decision, which made things difficult for him. It wasn't that Xia Ning Chang wasn't able to choose between the two of them, it was just that she wasn't ready to choose either of them to help her.

'But Su Mu already knows about Ning Chang's special physique and never told anyone about it.' At first, Meng Wuya even considered killing Su Mu, but he was stopped by Xia Ning Chang. But after listening to her request, he noticed that Su Mu never told anyone about Xia Ning Chang's physique, making him trust Su Mu more. That was the reason why Meng Wuya was more inclined to ask Su Mu to help Xia Ning Chang.

'But I have already tested the purity of Yang Kai's Yang Yuan Qi, and it's probably unmatched within the Separation and Reunion Realm. Can Su Mu's Yang Yuan Qi match up with it?' Meng Wuya once again thought.

"What are you thinking so hard about, Treasurer Meng?" Hearing Su Mu's voice, Meng Wuya snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Su Mu, who was standing in front of him.

'How did he?' Meng Wuya was visibly shocked. No matter how distracted he was, it's simply impossible for an Initial Element cultivator to slip past his Divine Sense.

'Forget it, let's just go with him. There's no time to waste.' Meng Wuya thought.

"Why are you here?" Meng Wuya asked. Since Su Mu didn't reveal anything about Xia Ning Chang's Physique, Meng Wuya won't lower himself to such a level and ask how Su Mu knew about her physique, to begin with. Who in this world doesn't have secrets?

"I came here to buy all the Enflamed Yang Stones that the Pavilion has." Su Mu replied, making Meng Wuya raise an eyebrow.

"Why do you need so many Enflamed Yang Stones?" Meng Wuya asked.

"I plan on cultivating, what else?" Su Mu replied as if it stating the obvious, making Meng Wuya embarrassed about asking something like that.

After a while, Meng Wuya brought a bag full of Enflamed Yang Stones before giving it to Su Mu.

"How much will that be?" Su Mu asked.

"Before that, can you answer my questions?" Meng Wuya asked in return, making Su Mu smile while nodding.

Leaning forward, Meng Wuya brought his hand near his mouth and whispered. "You're still a virgin, right?"

"... I am." Su Mu replied after a good few moments. If Su Mu told Meng Wuya about how many maidens he had tainted throughout his lifetime, which most likely exceeded the number of people Meng Wuya met in his lifetime, Su Mu was doubtful that Meng Wuya might end up dying from a heart attack. A Peak Saint Realm cultivator dying from a heart attack would be embarrassing, to say the least.

"Are you sure? It's crucial knowledge. Have you ever done 'that' with a girl?" Meng Wuya asked again.

"I already told you. Want me to prove it?" Su Mu said, grabbing the stash of his robe.

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, YOU DIRTY CHILD?" Meng Wuya shouted, taking a step back.

After taking a deep breath, Meng Wuya asked. "Can I ask you for a favour?"

"Is it about Senior Sister Xia?" Su Mu asked, already knowing the answer.

"Indeed." Meng Wuya nodded.

"I'll hear you out, but don't expect too much. And make it quick or I'm going back." Su Mu replied, not accepting the offer just yet.

"Alright, alright. Don't act like I'm forcing you to do it, you will be compensated well, just tell me what you wish. As long as it's not unreasonable, I will do everything in my power to grant that wish. Now then, stretch out your hand, I want to check your Yang Yuan Qi." Meng Wuya didn't dare to drag it out any further and directly stated what he needed.

Su Mu didn't say anything, extending his hand for Meng Wuya to check whatever he needed to.

Meng Wuya used two fingers and placed them on Su Mu's wrist, then with a solemn face he started probing about. His face was a flurry of expressions, the first one was indifference, the next one was stern, while the one after that was amazement, and finally, he looked shocked.

'How is this possible? I thought Yang Kai was a good option, but Su Mu's Yang Yuan Qi is far purer than even Yang Kai.' Meng Wuya thought, making up his mind and disregarding the idea of asking Yang Kai for help completely.

"Very well, stay here for a while." Meng Wuya said, leaving the Contribution Hall.

'How troublesome.' Su Mu thought, taking a seat on Meng Wuya's chair.

'From how his Divine Sense felt, he should have enough control and comprehension towards the Heavenly Way to break through to the Saint King Realm, but he didn't. This either means that his cultivation was sealed by an enemy before could break through and that's how he ended up escaping to this lower world or...' Su Mu's face was somewhat gloomy as he leaned back on the chair.

'The world Meng Wuya is from is another weak world with Saint Realm being its peak. And the confidence he has in his eyes most likely means that it's the latter. Well, no point thinking about it now.' Su Mu sighed.

---

After around ten minutes, Meng Wuya returned to the Contribution Hall along with Xia Ning Chang.

"Long time no see, Junior Brother Su." Xia Ning Chang said, greeting Su Mu.

"But I remember Senior Sister Xia following me around in the Black Wind Trade Area." Su Mu replied with a smile, causing Xia Ning Chang to blush in embarrassment.

"Ahem." Meng Wuya coughed, interrupting the two, making Xia Ning Chang even more embarrassed. While she was embarrassed, she also moved to hide behind Meng Wu Ya, defensively positioning her hands.

Looking at it, Su Mu chuckled before he asked. "What does Senior Sister Xia need from me?"

Instead of replying, Meng Wuya turned to his beloved Disciple and inquired. "Are you sure he is okay?"

Xia Ning Chang's delicate earlobes suddenly reddened, lowering her eyes one could see her long eyelashes were trembling. Only after a good while did she tentatively nod her head.

Seeing her act like this, Meng Wu Ya couldn't help but let out a small sigh of exasperation. "Stop, stop, stop. Since time is limited, it will be him."

After that, Meng Wuya proceeded to explain how Xia Ning Chang's Special Physique worked and how he was suppressing her cultivation to make her foundation stronger.

"This time, for her to break through into the next boundary, she needs to refine and form something within her body. As for this thing, she is unable to do it herself."

"And what's that thing?" Su Mu asked.

"Nine Yin Dew Crystals. These things are extremely helpful to those in the True Element boundary. So if she were able to refine and form this thing, then it would help to prevent anything from hindering her cultivation."

To go from the Separation and Reunion Realm into the True Element Realm, one must change their Yuan Qi into True Qi, which is far more pure and powerful. This was also a process that all cultivators needed to undertake, and if this process was accompanied by some precious treasure, then the transformed True Qi would be more powerful than normal.

This Nine Yin Dew Crystals were clearly such a precious treasure and were definitely one of the best treasures.

"The Nine Yin Dew Crystals are naturally a spirit essence, and obtaining them is extremely hard. And if it were used by people who were not suitable, then it would immediately melt and disappear. Only those who cultivated Yang Qi would be able to control them. Not to mention, the purity of their Yang Yuan Qi must reach a certain degree. That is also the reason why we need your help."

While Meng Wuya was explaining how heaven-defying The Nine Yin Dew Crystals were, Su Mu was trying his best to remember what they actually were.

'Oh, the crystal they used to feed the fishes.' Su Mu thought, finally remembering what they were.

"So where is this thing?" Su Mu asked.

"It's in Black Wind Mountain. Over there, some Nine Yins have gathered. And only on the 7th of July, will the Nine Yin Qi truly gather, and only then would you be able to retrieve its Yin Qi."

"After 10 days, huh?"

"So if you don't have anything to do, then I would like to hurry over now. Otherwise, we would have to wait another year for it." Meng Wu Ya spoke solemnly.

"I will agree to your offer. But I have one question. Why me?" Su Mu asked with a smile.

Seeing him agree, Meng Wuya sighed in relief while knowing that he will owe a debt to Su Mu, which he planned on paying back when the time came. "At first, I had two people in mind. Yang Kai or you. It's just that you had better qualities than him."

After hearing his words, Xia Ning Chang added. "Master, Yang Kai's background is unusual. When he was about to break through into the Initial Element Realm, the Sect Master personally helped him with his breakthrough."

"Is that so?" Su Mu muttered, a smile appearing on his face. "Well, I'll help Senior Sister Xia, so you don't have to worry about that."

Hearing his words, Xia Ning Chang blushed once again, hiding behind Meng Wuya while trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Then come to the Contribution Hall to find me in two days, because I still need to prepare some things." Meng Wu Ya warmly replied, happy to see that Su Mu was willing to help his disciple.

"Then, I'll be taking my leave." With those words, Su Mu left.

Looking at the front door, Meng Wu Ya let out a small sigh, his expression oddly queer. You couldn't tell what he was thinking, and only after a good while did he speak. "My Disciple, are you certain that you want to do this?"

Xia Ning Chang's clothes fluttered as she nodded her head. "Yes, Master."

Meng Wu Ya continued: "If you truly aren't able to refine the Nine Yin Dew Crystals, you are still able to break through, it's just that your future power would be slightly weaker."

Xia Ning Chang lightly laughed. "But, if I want to help master, then wouldn't it be better with purer True Qi? Master, you saved me and raised me so this Disciple wants to help you."

"Just in case, why don't you think over it again?"

The reason for the two-day delay was that Meng Wu Ya wanted Xia Ning Chang to think it over again.
