Chapter 168: (4th update)
Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised.
The Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art was considered to be on par with the Taiqing Wuji Technique. Xia Ningxue had actually begun cultivating the ninth level so quickly; it seemed she indeed was a peerless genius rarely seen in a hundred thousand years.
Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was willing to pour all its resources into her.
It had been a hundred thousand years since Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had produced a Great Expert capable of ascending to the Immortal Realm like Fairy Qingxia.
Inquiry Immortal Pavilion wanted to raise a second Fairy Qingxia.
Xia Ningxue’s defiance of the heavens’ aptitude was perfectly suited for the Dual Cultivation System.
Aware of the arrival of Xiao Meng’er and Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue knew they must have had matters to discuss, so she ceased her cultivation and said, “The ninth level of the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art is still too difficult for me.”
Xia Ningxue stepped out, with her senior sister Xiao Meng’er and Lu Changsheng from Mount Shu waiting outside the wooden door.
“Xia, I have brought the person here; you two have a good chat,” Xiao Meng’er said to Xia Ningxue, then winked at her before placing her hands behind her back, whistling casually, and strolling away as if nothing was amiss.
“You, looking for me, for what matter?” Xia Ningxue asked, not expecting Lu Changsheng to take the initiative to seek her out.
“I have a matter of great importance to discuss; let us talk inside,” Lu Changsheng responded.
If the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills that Lu Changsheng had obtained were to spread, the four major Demon Sects, especially the Joyous Union Sect, would probably set various traps just to kill him to acquire this cultivation technique that surpassed that of the Immortal level.
Lu Changsheng certainly didn’t want to increase the difficulty for himself.
“Hmm.”
Xia Ningxue let Lu Changsheng into the room, where a faint fragrance lingered in the air.
“I have accidentally obtained a set of Supreme Skills,” Lu Changsheng said mysteriously.
“Obtaining a cultivation technique is your serendipity; why do you feel the need to tell me?” Xia Ningxue sat upright and looked at Lu Changsheng, but inwardly she wondered how she had so easily allowed a man enter her temporary private chamber.
“Ahem, this Supreme Skill is very special, requiring dual cultivation. I wish to cultivate together with Fairy,” Lu Changsheng finally blurted out with a thick face.
The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills were too defying of the heavens, capable of returning additional cultivation and insights. Lu Changsheng had no reason to forgo such an extraordinary Immortal-level technique.
“Oh… ah?” Upon hearing the latter part, Xia Ningxue’s fair face flushed red, and her ears felt hot with embarrassment, “How, how could you cultivate the skills of the Joyous Union Sect!”
“Please, Fairy Xia, don’t be agitated. Take a moment to appreciate the profound nature of this technique before making a decision. I, Lu Changsheng, would never force anyone,” he said, taking out the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills.
Xia Ningxue took the Cultivation Technique with her face glowing red.
The very name of this technique suggested it was one of those indecent techniques from the Joyous Union Sect!
Xia Ningxue took a deep breath and began to read through the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills.
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng discreetly observed Xia Ningxue’s level of cultivation. She was cultivated by the entire resources of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion and enhanced by a Supreme Elder who had harmed his own cultivation to perform a Power-infusing Initiation on her, and her current level was the second layer of the Void Refinement Realm.
Nevertheless, Xia Ningxue’s blush and shy demeanor presented a charming sight.
“Hoo…” After reading through the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills, Xia Ningxue realized they were not the Demonic Cultivation Skills of the Joyous Union Sect, but rather Supreme Skills. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
“This technique is indeed marvelous. Cultivating together, one can obtain additional cultivation and insights. It must have been created by an Immortal, not a Mortal,” Xia Ningxue thought the Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills too inconceivable.
The Joyous Union Sect wouldn’t be able to create such a heaven-defying technique, not even the Joyous Union Ancestor who founded the sect.
The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills transcended the scope of normal techniques, and without harming the natural order or morality, they didn’t seem to align with any crooked path or wicked practice.
“The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills are divided into the Yang Spell and Yin Skills. We can cultivate them separately to swiftly improve our cultivation and insight. Now that Fairy Xia is aware of the wonders of this technique, would you be willing to cultivate together with me?”
“I naturally have… no problem.”
Xia Ningxue’s pretty face still blushed slightly.
Although the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” was a legitimate cultivation technique, its name still made it difficult to mention.
“Then let’s start practicing the first layer to see the effect.”
Lu Changsheng split the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” in half to cultivate separately.
The two were sitting opposite each other, meditating and cultivating.
Lu Changsheng circulated the Yang Spell, while Xia Ningxue circulated the Yin Skills.
The “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills” was divided into eighteen levels, and just the first level was considerably challenging.
Lu Changsheng emitted Yang energy, while Xia Ningxue emitted Yin energy. One Yin and one Yang, Yin governing death and Yang governing life, they entwined and merged, transforming into chaos.
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue, both peerless geniuses, secluded themselves for three days, and still hadn’t grasped the first level.
“Strange, how come Lu Changsheng has entered Xia’s room and hasn’t come out for three days?”
Fairy Duanmu, Xiao Meng’er, Zeng Yeqiu, and other sisters from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion couldn’t help but wonder.
If it weren’t for sensing their auras, these people might have barged in by now.
Having seen much of the world, Fairy Duanmu said, “Perhaps they are discussing the profound truths. For us cultivators, each cultivation session, whether short as several days or long as dozens of years, flies by.”
“It’s not impossible. Both are unrivaled geniuses; discussing with each other might lead to enlightenment.”
The crowd suddenly understood.
“The first layer of the ‘Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills,’ success.”
Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue opened their eyes at the same time, and after three days, they finally mastered the first layer.
Both were somewhat surprised.
To think that both, being Void Refinement Realm geniuses, actually took three days just to enter the doorstep.
“This feeling of interlinked hearts…”
Xia Ningxue covered her chest with her left hand, feeling a reassuring warmth.
As long as one reached the realm of interlinked hearts, additional cultivation progress and insights would be returned.
The higher the level of the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skills,” the greater the cultivation level improved by the partner, and the more cultivation progress and insights would be returned.
“Now that the divine skill is achieved, just keep it running, and cultivation will speed up.”
Lu Changsheng thought about having both the disciple returning and dual cultivation returning buffs in the future, wouldn’t his cultivation level soar?
Although he couldn’t take Xia Ningxue as a disciple, it seemed to be developing in another direction…
“I should go.”
“Mm.”
Xia Ningxue thought about how she actually agreed to dual cultivate with Lu Changsheng, and her ears heated up again.
Xia Ningxue saw Lu Changsheng out, while Fairy Duanmu, Xiao Meng’er, Zeng Yeqiu, and the other senior sisters from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were outside indulging in gossip, making Xia Ningxue even more embarrassed.
She carefully considered that despite nothing happening between her and Lu Changsheng during the three days of cultivation in her boudoir, who knew if the senior sisters would get the wrong idea?
Lu Changsheng bid farewell, ready to return to Qingyun Peak with his disciples and continue cultivating.
Xia Ningxue hurriedly explained to Xiao Meng’er and the others, “My senior sisters, please don’t misunderstand…”
“No need to say more, junior sister, we understand,” interrupted Xiao Meng’er, giving Xia Ningxue a look.
Zeng Yeqiu said, “Apart from Mount Shu’s Lu Changsheng, no one from the six major sects is worthy of our Xia.”
Then Fairy Duanmu sighed softly, “Ah, to be young is wonderful. Back in my day, I too had a love so deep it was etched in my heart, and when it laid before me, I did not cherish it…”
