Pan De glanced at it. "You've cited three books in one go, you're quite knowledgeable, look like you've done your research."

"I know a little bit," Si Ming quickly replied modestly.

"This book was written by a senior who witnessed the union of a dragon and a phoenix. He drew upon this observation to understand the principles of Yin and Yang, and through this insight, he specially penned this Cultivation Method."

Si Ming asked curiously, "Aren't phoenixes male? Could it be a male phoenix and a female dragon?"

Pan De said helplessly, "People are used to saying 'dragon and phoenix bring good fortune,' and most people use 'feng' to refer to the phoenix, not 'huang.' Just assume it's a female phoenix."

"But they're different species. Dragons should belong to amphibians, while phoenixes are clearly birds. Is it really okay for them to interbreed?"

"This is a mythical creature, don't try to apply it to real-world species. Besides, dragons are inherently promiscuous, otherwise where do you think the saying 'the dragon has nine sons' came from? Dragons and carp can produce carp-dragons, and they're at least similar to phoenixes in size," Pan De slapped his forehead. "Sigh, you've steered the conversation off-topic. Anyway, I've given you the Cultivation Method, take it or leave it."

"I didn't say I wouldn't learn."

Something is worse than nothing. These days, without the internet, there are no experienced drivers or secret codes. If you want to watch adult films, you have to rent them, but the selection is too limited, restricted by the tastes of the rental shops. It's far less free than the internet.

Although Si Ming had seen a lot in his previous life, the physical qualities of people in the two worlds were different, so the variety of activities they engaged in could not be generalized. Even the adult films here were made for ordinary people and were not exclusively for martial artists.

For example, although Si Ming caught Murong Qing off guard yesterday and knocked her down, Murong Qing did not obediently admit defeat. While the spear fighting was going on below, the sword fighting was still going on above. Whoever could gain the upper hand in the sword fighting would gain the initiative in the spear fighting, and vice versa.

Si Ming had never seen such a difficult technique in his previous life, and he couldn't learn it even if he wanted to. As the saying goes, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing. In the first two rounds, Si Ming was able to gain the upper hand and suppress Murong Qing. But his momentum waned, and once Si Ming's edge was gone, Murong Qing immediately took the initiative and suppressed him. If it weren't for the Stem-Snapping Hand technique that reversed the situation at the end, he would have been completely defeated yesterday.

However, the Stem-Snapping Hand technique is ultimately just an Outer Dao method and cannot be relied upon in the long run. Therefore, Si Ming decided to ask Pan De for advice on Cultivation Method related to bedroom arts.

There's no way around it; this is the consequence of having a wife with high sexual prowess. In sexual intercourse, the man is the one who gives, and the woman is the one who receives. Therefore, the woman naturally has the advantage. Don't be fooled by the man's aggressive approach; in terms of endurance, the woman still has the upper hand.

If it were just Murong Qing alone, Si Ming wouldn't be worried. The initial setback was just due to a lack of experience. He was confident that he could show his prowess once he became more skilled. But what could he do when he was so greedy?

One should always plan ahead. It should be noted that Murong Qing is not the one with the highest cultivation level. Hongdou's cultivation level is much higher than hers. This is really a problem. Si Ming does not want to appear in an ugly state of begging for mercy in bed. He can only try to improve his cultivation level in bed.

If you want to build a harem in a world of extraordinary martial arts, having good kidneys is far from enough.

"One is never too old to learn."

Si Ming sighed sincerely, then opened the seemingly unreliable book, "One Fuck for Ten Thousand Myriad Years," and saw that the very first sentence read:

"The infant and the maiden unite yin and yang, lead and mercury harmonize to divide the sun and moon. The dragon of Li and the tiger of Kan are harmonized, the spirit tortoise absorbs the blood of the golden crow. The kidney water circulates into the Jade Pool, the inner light shines inward to replenish the Dantian. The three flowers gather at the crown to return to the root, the five energies converge to the origin and the acupoints are opened."

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. This single sentence was enough for Si Ming to know that this book was genuinely substantial, not just a sham. He didn't know if the author had actually witnessed the union of dragon and phoenix, but he was certain that the author had a profound understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang.

Intrigued, Si Ming continued flipping through the book, only to find that the profound and complex principles it contained far exceeded what could be summarized as mere bedroom arts, leaving him in awe.

It should be noted that his knowledge is extremely diverse, and he has seen countless Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method. In addition to the martial arts native to the Sea Continent, he has also mastered the top-level Daoist and Technique Method of the Barbarian Continent, the spells and scriptures of the Six Paths Sect from other worlds, and the Super Martial Dao series that transcends the confines of martial arts and whose origins are unknown. In terms of the breadth of martial arts knowledge alone, there are probably few people in the Sea Continent who can surpass him. He can instantly understand the changes in moves of ordinary martial arts with just a glance.

Even so, the contents of this book, "One Fuck for Ten Thousand Myriad Years," still amazed him. After reading half of it, he understood why both he and Murong Qing's Internal Cultivation had improved after their first taste of forbidden fruit.

According to the theory in the book, the cause lies in the contact between the primordial yin and primordial yang, but the primordial yin and primordial yang are not the main cause. They only play a role in igniting the firewood. The real fuel for the fire is the Cultivation Body of Si Ming and Murong Qing.

Just as ordinary men and women who have never been intimate possess primordial yin and yang, but they experience no improvement after tasting the forbidden fruit, it is because they lack firewood to burn, or rather, they have too little firewood, only a few pages of paper, which quickly burn to ashes, releasing negligible heat.

However, even if ordinary male and female martial artists were to improve, they wouldn't improve as much as Si Ming and Murong Qing. Si Ming directly broke through the most difficult Spirit Transformation Threshold, and due to his previous accumulation, he was already at the peak of level thirteen, just a little short of entering level fourteen. Murong Qing also saved himself several years of hard work and didn't need to stabilize his Early Spirit Transformation realm, so he could continue to advance.

The key lies in the fact that Si Ming and Murong Qing's Cultivation Body are mutually exclusive. Si Ming's Blazing Yang Battle Art is of the Yang attribute, while Murong Qing Glacier Divine Art is of the Yin attribute. Normally, when these two True Qi come into contact, they either conflict or cancel each other out. It would take at least ten years of practice to achieve a fusion of Yin and Yang, a transformation of mutual restraint and mutual generation. However, at the moment when the primordial Yin and Yang merged, their Cultivation Body achieved a perfect fusion without any resistance.

Generally speaking, a single-attribute Cultivation Body can only produce the effect of yin arising from yang or yang arising from yin when it is cultivated to its extreme. Si Ming and Murong Qing were far from reaching this level, but thanks to the mutual fusion of primordial yin and primordial yang, the two enjoyed this benefit ahead of time, and as a result, their cultivation level increased dramatically.

This principle is the same as the Unity of the Sacred and Evil of the Beast King Anye. The Power of Anomalies and the Evil-Slaying Sword Intent cannot be fused under normal circumstances. Only when the Beast King Anye possesses the sect leader Wan Yebai and becomes one with him can he take advantage of the situation to fuse the two opposing forces.

Si Ming and Murong Qing were also "united as one," but their unity would eventually end, so the increase was only quantitative, unlike the breakthrough achieved by the Unity of the Sacred and Evil.

"So my first choice of Murong Qing turned out to be an accidental gain?" Si Ming recalled the women's Cultivation Body and realized there were other possibilities. "No, the Blazing Sun True Qi and the Power of Anomalies are also incompatible, so replacing her with Hongdou would have yielded the same benefits. Moreover, Hongdou's cultivation level is higher, so theoretically her cultivation could have increased even more."

However, it was just a thought, Si Ming didn't feel sorry. After all, he didn't choose his life partner for this reason. There was no need to mix too much utilitarianism into matters of the heart, especially since he didn't make a living from Internal Cultivation arts.

Si Ming then flipped through "One Fuck for Ten Thousand Myriad Years," which, in addition to the principles of Yin and Yang, went on to elaborate on the principles of life and death, proposing the concepts of being born from life, being born from death, dying from life, and dying from death.

"The human body, this illusory mortal body, is even less valuable than a stone or a piece of wood. It is extremely fragile. How can people not cherish it? Isn't that tragic? If one dies a natural death, though the body dies, the spirit does not perish; though the form decays, the principle remains. One dies in a place of life. To die a natural death is to die a good death. After death, the Divine Sense is free and the body and mind are at ease. This is what is meant by dying in life."

If one spends one's life indulging in unrestrained desires and reckless actions, failing to overcome worldly desires, and with death brewing in one's heart and evil thoughts constantly taking root, one will lose one's life due to greed for life and harm one's body due to reckless actions, just like a moth drawn to a flame, bringing about one's own demise. This is what is meant by "dying at the cost of one's own life."

The more Si Ming read, the more something seemed off. This theory sounded a bit like Buddhist School, but wasn't this book supposed to be Daoist School scriptures?

"It's a mix of Buddhism and Daoism, somewhat similar to the Cultivation Method of the Six Paths Sect."

Despite his doubts, Si Ming continued reading, since he had experience with both Daoist Gate and Buddhist School and had no difficulty understanding them.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Ming finally turned the last page. He closed the book, stood there, and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Pan De, burping after lunch, came over and stood in front of Si Ming. He waved his hand, but seeing no reaction, he asked in confusion, "That's strange. This manual is from the orthodox Xuanmen sect; it doesn't contain anything exciting. Is there any need to be so shocked?"

He had read this book when he was young, but he lost interest after reading half of it. The content was not only difficult to understand, but it also only discussed the principles and not the techniques, which disappointed him, as he was full of curiosity about bedroom arts.

It should be noted that the "Master Dongxuan" records thirty-six unique freehand techniques, which can be used not only in bedroom arts but also in actual combat. Their power is considerable, attracting countless teenagers to follow in their footsteps. After all, after learning them, one can eloquently refute the criticisms of others. Among them, there was a genius with outstanding talent who refined and perfected these techniques, creating the unique skill "Eight Strikes of Sanshou", which became famous in the Daoist Daoist Gate.

Si Ming snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked Pan De, "Senior, has anyone in your Daoist Gate ever gleaned martial arts insights from this book?"

"It's just a book on bedroom arts, the theories are very esoteric, don't be too confident... Wait a minute! You mean, you've figured out martial arts from this book?"

Now it was Pan De's turn to be shocked. To glean martial arts knowledge from a purely theoretical book was just as difficult as comprehending martial arts from the Tao Te Ching, let alone a book on bedroom arts, which was far inferior to a masterpiece like the Tao Te Ching.

Si Ming nodded, his tone almost incredulous, and said, "Yes, I've learned a technique called 'Great Yin-Yang Heaven-Severing Hand'."

Despite the lack of any hints, Si Ming instinctively knew he had learned a martial art after reading it. He could roughly guess that this was due to his talent for sudden enlightenment; even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of learning it, as long as the possibility existed, he would definitely learn it.

The author of "One Fuck for Ten Thousand Myriad Years" must have dissected "The Great Yin-Yang Heaven-Severing Hand" and hidden it within the theories of this book. It is not easy to find. Only by reading this book ten thousand times and thoroughly understanding its contents can one discover this martial art from among the many theories.
