Chapter 333 Dual Cultivation
Liu Xing pondered for a long time and could not make a decision.
Based on his current understanding, it was already on par with an average Nascent Soul Elder. Aside from his main technique, the Wind and Thunder Manual, none of the other techniques he had encountered were as sophisticated as the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. In particular, its mana-boosting speed was twice that of top-tier techniques, comparable to ordinary elixirs. This was a truly alluring technique for Liu Xing. The only thing he couldn't figure out was why no one in the Hehuan Sect had successfully cultivated it for so many years.
Especially among the Nascent Soul Elders of the Hehuan Sect, none of them practiced this technique. Could it be that this technique would hinder practitioners from advancing or forming a Nascent Soul?
Liu Xing's heart skipped a beat as he thought of this. Reading a lot and having a flexible mind were good things. He had actually been able to analyze something.
The thought of the possibility of not being able to conceive a baby frightened him.
"It's almost certain. It seems that the Hehuan Sect has bad intentions. They want to stop me from forming a baby. The old thief Chu has such a cruel heart!" Liu Xing cursed fiercely.
Now that he had guessed what the other person was thinking, he calmed down instead. Without being completely sure, no matter how tempting this technique was, he couldn't practice it easily.
Liu Xing came out of seclusion and brought Nie Xiaoqian to live in his cave. Since they were already married, they could naturally live together and take care of each other.
"My dear, 'The Art of Yin and Yang Harmony' is a practice from the upper realm. I have studied it thoroughly and translated it into text. However, there may be unknown risks that hinder practitioners from forming a fetus. We cannot practice blindly and take risks." Liu Xing held his lover's hand and gently explained the results of his research in seclusion.
Nie Xiaoqian leaned into Liu Xing's arms and enjoyed a moment of tenderness.
"Qian'er, the martial arts mentioned that maintaining a virginity is beneficial for breaking through the realm. So, although I really want to share the joy of marriage with you, for your future, we have to remain restrained and at least break through to the late stage of Jindan, so that we will be more capable of fighting for the opportunity to form a baby. Only when we both succeed in forming a baby, both our lifespan and strength will be greatly improved. That is the time for my wife and I to enjoy the world." Liu Xing was rarely impatient, but just hugged his wife and spoke tender words.
"Brother Liu always thinks of me. Qian'er is so touched, but my husband has to bear with me." When Nie Xiaoqian heard him say that he was willing to accept loneliness in order to break through, she burst into tears and kissed Liu Xing on the lips.
After a long separation, Nie Xiaoqian said, "Husband, can you lend me the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique for a while?"
"Of course! You can use it as a reference, but remember not to practice it casually." Liu Xing handed the technique to his wife and emphasized this.
After a brief moment of tenderness, Liu Xing and Nie Xiaoqian separated and went to their respective training rooms for retreat. Their cultivation was still urgent. Both were over two hundred years old, not young anymore. They had to successfully form a fetus before the age of five hundred, otherwise their lifespans would run out and they would eventually turn into dust.
Liu Xing refined the spiritual medicines he had collected over the years, especially the large amount of materials sent by the Dragon Queen, into finished pills, and began a boring secluded life of taking medicine and meditating.
Nie Xiaoqian studied the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique" line by line, following Liu Xing's translation. Her knowledge was inferior to Liu Xing's, and her comprehension was much slower. It took her five or six years to fully comprehend it. She discovered that this technique was many times more powerful than her own. It made sense, considering her previous master had only reached the early stages of the Core Formation stage, and the techniques he taught her were mediocre. Now that she had become Nangong Yan's disciple, he had naturally imparted a more advanced technique, though it still fell short of this higher-level technique.
Nie Xiaoqian is a fiercely determined woman. Though exceptionally gifted, she lacks a top-tier cultivation technique, and will only hinder her husband's future. Since arriving at the Qianji Sect, she has gained a new appreciation for the rumors and strengths of her husband, Liu Xing. His mana and consciousness, capable of transcending realms, are unprecedented in his talent. If she wants to further her husband's journey, she must rise above mediocrity.
"Brother Liu said that this practice might be risky, so of course I believed it." She muttered.
"Then let me test the law myself and take this risk for him!" She seemed to have made a decision. Heaven had gifted them a top-tier martial art – what a great opportunity! There are no foolproof strategies in the world; often, a desperate struggle is necessary.
"Brother Liu, I hope you won't blame Qian'er for her recklessness. I will bear all the consequences myself. It is enough for Qian'er to be married to you in this life." Nie Xiaoqian said silently. Finally, she made up her mind and took the risk to practice the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique".
There is no time in the mountains, and there is no year in the cold weather.
Thirty years later, Liu Xing finally opened his tightly closed eyes.
"Alas, I'm still a little short of breaking through to the late stage. The higher the level of cultivation, the more exponentially the demand for elixirs increases!" He muttered regretfully.
According to his original estimate, this batch of pills should have helped him break through to the late stage of Jindan, but things did not go as planned. As the jade flute converted spiritual energy into compressed mana, he found that his consumption of pills had increased significantly, leading to his miscalculation.
However, the transformation of the jade flute into a spirit gave him an inspiration, that is, why he could practice the "Wind and Thunder Manual", a martial art from the upper realm, smoothly without any side effects. Was it because the jade flute had produced extraordinary spiritual power?
Thinking of the magical effect of the spiritual power, it can not only cleanse the meridians and marrow, but also help him generate strong wind to refine the spirit. No similar existence has ever been heard of in the world. Could it be that this is the power from the upper realm?
With this analysis, he was 70% sure that he could practice the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique because he possessed such a special spiritual power. The inspiration struck him, making him extremely excited.
He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that his wife was in seclusion, so he did not disturb her to avoid affecting her.
He was already familiar with the secret manual of the "Yin Yang Harmony Technique", so he began to try to practice this technique while waiting for his wife to come out.
Liu Xing found it quite easy to practice, and discovered that it did stimulate his stagnant spiritual power, which actually began to grow slowly. This made him so excited that he wanted to cheer out loud.
For the first time since he established his foundation, he found the feeling of improving his cultivation without the help of elixirs. How could he not be excited?
However, this is a secret technique of dual cultivation. According to his judgment, if the yin and yang are harmonized, the magic power should increase faster.
After another three years, Nie Xiaoqian finally emerged from seclusion and switched to a top-level technique. Her magical power improved rapidly, reaching the peak of the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm. She discovered that if she practiced both yin and yang, she would definitely be able to break through to the later stages.
After emerging from seclusion, the couple finally embraced each other and shared their insights. Nie Xiaoqian told Liu Xing that her rapid progress was due to her practice of the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique, and asked Liu Xing not to blame her for not listening to him.
