Whooosh—
A gentle breeze rustled the treetops, creating a soothing sound that masked the secret noise within the rainforest.
Yu Qinghan bit her lower lip, her gaze fixed on Zhao Huai as if she didn’t want others to hear the indecent moan.
However, as time passed, her expression gradually changed, her face flushed, her breath unsteady, and beads of sweat appeared on her white forehead.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai felt both amused and smug, and he took the opportunity to appreciate her up close. Without a closer look, he wouldn’t have noticed.
Madam’s original cold complexion had long since disappeared, replaced by a radiant and glowing pinkish-white hue. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were crystal-clear, making her look tender and affectionate.
Her cheeks were flushed, looking stunningly attractive, like a fairy from the Heavenly Palace descending to the mortal world.
Zhao Huai asked himself.
Madam was indeed the type that grew more appealing the more one looked. At first glance, she was strikingly beautiful, and now more so than ever, he couldn’t get enough of her.
Yu Qinghan stared at the handsome face close to her and immediately clenched her fists, pounding Zhao Huai’s chest once. She felt unbearably stuffy, her Immortal Spiritual Root radiating a white light, emitting a faint immortal air, but without guidance, the immortal air slowly dissipated.
It was then that Zhao Huai realized something.
While both of them were Daoist partners, they had never practiced dual cultivation together.
Was it because he didn’t want to?
No, it was because he didn’t know how.
Dual cultivation was a method of cultivating, helping both parties improve and increase their cultivation levels quickly.
Meanwhile, dual cultivation could also be categorized into several subcategories, initially divided into spiritual and physical aspects. Male and female dual cultivation involved both the spirit and the flesh body.
Moreover, there was an obscure form of dual cultivation between individuals of the same sex. Zhao Huai was shocked when he first heard about this category; indeed, life was full of surprises!
Same-sex dual cultivation primarily focused on the spiritual aspect of cultivation, and its efficiency was naturally far inferior to that of male-female dual cultivation.
Therefore, dual cultivation was a profound art requiring cultivation techniques as a supplement to achieve the best results.
When Exquisite Fairy Qiu Yueqing first approached Zhao Huai, she intended to practice dual cultivation with him to boost her own cultivation skills.
Exquisite Fairy Qiu Yueqing also mentioned that the success of dual cultivation required mutual trust and respect, mental harmony, and equality between both parties.
If this rule were to be broken, it would no longer be dual cultivation, but a melting tripod instead, involving Gathering Yin to Supplement Yang or Gathering Yang to Supplement Yin. These were the devious means employed by the Devil Sect, undesirable and detrimental in the long run.
True dual cultivation must follow the principle of equality, complementing and benefiting each other substantially.
Instantly, Zhao Huai recalled the dual cultivation technique taught to him by Exquisite Fairy Qiu Yueqing.
The Exquisite Nine Spheres.
This ancient technique from the Exquisite Palace was said to have miraculous effects. Zhao Huai remembered Qiu Yueqing’s explanation.
The technique could make the dual cultivators’ bodies and magic powers more pure, robust, and balanced, thus allowing mutual growth in strength.
It could significantly improve the cultivator’s abilities and constitution.
However, a prerequisite was that both practitioners could truly trust and care for each other, reaching a wondrous state of spiritual connection.
Zhao Huai, now reunited with Madam, couldn’t help but wonder whether this technique was as incredible as the Exquisite Fairy claimed. He was eager to try it.
Without hesitation, Zhao Huai asked directly:
“Madam, have you ever heard of the method of dual cultivation?”
“Hmm…dual cultivation. I’ve heard of it vaguely. What are you trying to do? Do you want to practice dual cultivation?”
Yu Qinghan turned her head and looked at him with curiosity.
Zhao Huai nodded and said, “Let’s give it a try. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises.”
“I’ll teach you the technique first.”
After speaking, Zhao Huai first wiped away the sweat from Yu Qinghan’s forehead, then pointed a finger at her smooth forehead. He transmitted the technique to her through his spiritual power.
A mass of obscure text suddenly flooded Yu Qinghan’s mind.
Unlike Zhao Huai’s instantaneous comprehension, Yu Qinghan read through the text for a while, pondering over its contents, and mumbled quietly:
“Yin Yang Nine Forms, each form surpassing the previous one. Advanced practitioners should focus on their spirit.”
“What a profound technique… but the name sounds so familiar…Exquisite Nine Spheres?”
“Hold on, isn’t this the dual cultivation technique from the Exquisite Palace?!”
It seemed Yu Qinghan had realized something. She immediately raised her head, looking at Zhao Huai with resentful eyes, and questioned:
“Tell me, where did you get this technique?”
Hearing the jealousy in Madam’s tone, Zhao Huai rubbed his forehead with some headache as he had almost forgotten about that. He steeled himself to say, “An Exquisite Fairy from the Exquisite Palace gave it to me. At that time, Yan Country had not been established, and the national fortune had not emerged. The Exquisite Palace protected my path and sent a female disciple to serve as my servant. But I didn’t accept her; I solemnly refused. However, the palace master persisted, so I had no choice. But I assure you, I didn’t lay a finger on that fairy!”
Upon hearing this explanation, Yu Qinghan’s expression relaxed, and she was half-convinced.
Given her husband’s status at the time, it was very likely that the birth of Yan’s national fortune would attract the attention of the Immortal Sect, and the Exquisite Palace might try to tie him down with a beautiful woman.
She just hadn’t expected her husband to be so close to her all along.
With the emergence of the national fortune, the restoration of the Yan, and the enemies at the gates, she hadn’t paid attention to the news during that time. If she had been more concerned, she might have discovered her husband’s identity earlier..
