Worthy of a peerless technique, truly!

Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique?

At first glance, Xiao Yu felt that the name of this technique alone sounded incredibly unreliable.

Adhering to the belief that anything produced by the system must be a masterpiece, he proceeded anyway.

Xiao Yu extracted the technique.

In an instant, a massive surge of information flooded into Xiao Yu's mind, making his head feel as if it were about to split open.

He braced his forehead and closed his eyes to digest the influx.

After a while, once Xiao Yu had fully grasped the technique, he opened his eyes, a look of shock flashing through them.

"It truly lives up to the name Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique! In a word: supreme!" Xiao Yu felt as if this technique had been tailor-made for him.

Cultivating this technique could enhance the cultivation levels of both parties involved.

The extent of this improvement would vary slightly depending on the strength of both individuals.

If the partner's strength was higher than Xiao Yu's, the effect on him would be even better; one night could be worth several days, or even months, of ordinary cultivation.

Simply put, if Xiao Yu could marry a Dou Saint wife right now, he could break through to the Dou Venerate realm in just one night.

This wasn't just a supreme technique; it was the absolute ceiling of living off a woman's success.

Because the technique was centered around Xiao Yu, the bonus he received was higher than that of his wife.

In other words, if he were a Dou Saint and took a wife who was still an ordinary person, she would only be boosted to the level of a Dou King.

However, even without a bonus as exaggerated as Xiao Yu's, the effect was still heaven-defying.

What's more, even a standard session was comparable to several days of diligent cultivation.

The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth stretched almost to his ears.

He could imagine how many women would want to take a shortcut if they knew he possessed such a powerful technique.

Who would be willing to toil away at cultivation when they could reap rewards without effort?

That would be far too dull.

Beyond the aspect of male-female dual cultivation, the Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique had other advantages.

For instance, this dual cultivation technique could delay aging and ensure eternal youth.

"If this got out, what woman could resist?" Xiao Yu sighed with emotion.

But his heart tightened immediately, and his expression turned cautious.

Secrecy!

He must keep it a secret!

If some old hag found out and snatched him away to be a boy toy, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

After calming his nerves, Xiao Yu immediately began to cultivate.

Even though he had the technique, he still had to practice it; otherwise, it wouldn't truly be his.

However, the entry barrier for this was no match for Xiao Yu.

Because his wife, Li Qian, had been providing him with experience points daily, and since these points couldn't be applied directly to his cultivation, he had been hoarding them.

Now, they finally had a use.

"Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique, add it for me!" Xiao Yu gathered his resolve and poured all his accumulated experience points into the technique.

The next second, he sat cross-legged in the pavilion, assuming a meditative posture.

Within his body, the Dou Qi that had been dormant in his Dantian immediately began to circulate autonomously, flowing along predetermined meridians.

At first, the Dou Qi was like a small stream, but as time passed and his meridians expanded, the Dou Qi grew increasingly majestic.

"Hm? That's Yu'er."

In the distance, having finished the banquet, Xiao Zhan walked into the courtyard and spotted the figure in the pavilion at a glance.

"You brat, you complain about hardship whenever I tell you to cultivate, but now that you're a father, you finally feel the pressure, don't you?"

Mistaking Xiao Yu's efforts for a sudden burst of determination, a look of relief crossed Xiao Zhan's face. He didn't disturb him, instead turning around with his hands behind his back and walking away.

He thought to himself that once the tournament ended tomorrow, he would ask his third son about it.

His third son was at Jia Nan Academy, where the teachers were knowledgeable and experienced; perhaps he would know why his youngest son's Dou Qi had vanished, or he could have his third son buy some medicinal pills from the academy to help with cultivation and send them back for the youngest.

In any case, his youngest was not yet sixteen and still young; as long as he was willing to work hard at his cultivation, it wasn't too late.

The night passed without incident.

When Xiao Yu finished his cultivation, the distant horizon had already brightened, radiating light.

"I actually cultivated for the whole night."

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yu found it incredible; he felt as if time had flown by, as if only a few minutes had passed.

As he rose from the ground, a series of "crackling" sounds erupted from his body, like popping beans.

At the same time, he discovered a significant amount of black, viscous substance oozing from his body, and he began to reek.

"Is this the Cleansing of the Marrow?" Having read many books, Xiao Yu felt no panic at these changes; instead, he was overjoyed.

After a thorough wash, Xiao Yu felt refreshed and invigorated. Even his already impeccable appearance seemed to have improved, his temperament becoming refined and ethereal.

Bathed in the sunlight, Xiao Yu looked like a god descended to earth, a figure to be admired from afar but never approached with irreverence.

Several maidservants responsible for the courtyard's daily chores caught sight of Xiao Yu, and more than one walked straight into a pillar before snapping back to reality.

They scrambled to their feet in a daze, scurrying away as if they had lost their souls.

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, gaining a newfound appreciation for the word "Supreme."

This technique... is incredible!

Beyond the changes to his appearance and internal state, Xiao Yu discovered that his physique—his physical strength—had also improved drastically, as if he had been training specifically in body-tempering arts.

As for this phenomenon, Xiao Yu found an explanation within the technique itself.

Simply put, to achieve a harem of three thousand, mere desire was not enough; one required a sufficiently powerful physique.

On this point, the Supreme Dual Cultivation Technique had delivered.

"With a single punch now, I fear even a three-star Dou Practitioner specializing in body tempering wouldn't be able to take it." Xiao Yu stared at the wall he had just struck.

The wall was constructed from an extremely hard boulder found outside the city; it was said that even Dou Masters had to use sharp weapons to split these stones during extraction.

Against this kind of stone, an ordinary Dou Practitioner might not even leave a mark, even with a Dou Technique.

Yet, Xiao Yu had effortlessly left a spiderweb of cracks across the surface with a single punch.

He had wanted to test his strength further, but the sound of an infant crying reached his ears, and Xiao Yu abandoned the thought.

Throughout the entire morning, Xiao Yu stayed by his wife and child's side.

Though he was a father for the first time, Xiao Yu was not flustered; the Xiao Clan employed specialized wet nurses who were highly professional in caring for infants.

With them present, Li Qian and the baby were well looked after, leaving Xiao Yu feeling somewhat redundant.

Li Qian glanced at her husband, who was standing beside their sleeping son, and said softly, "Xiao Yu, have you thought of a name for the baby yet?"

"Not yet. Do you have any suggestions?" Xiao Yu asked in return.

Li Qian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go ask Father?"

Ask him?

Xiao Yu paused, the names of his four brothers flashing through his mind; it seemed Xiao Zhan's naming skills weren't exactly high-tier.

Li Qian continued, "Father is very fond of the baby. Asking him would show our respect."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at her.

Li Qian's eyes were filled with encouragement.

Xiao Yu nodded. "Alright, I'll go find him now."

Inside the room, Li Qian leaned against the bed, murmuring in a voice only she could hear, "I hope the baby can make Father value us, so our little family won't have to be driven out of the Xiao Clan."

Li Qian had not forgotten that in a short while, Xiao Yu would be coming of age.

According to the rules of the Xiao Clan, if one did not reach the seventh stage of Dou Force by the age of sixteen, they would be expelled from the main family to manage the clan's businesses.

After marrying Xiao Yu, Li Qian did not despise his low strength, but she worried that if the child were born without the protection of the Xiao Clan, they would suffer greatly.

On the other side.

Xiao Yu understood the meaning behind Li Qian's words; after all, he was not truly a child.

Come to think of it, his actual age was greater than Li Qian's.

Arriving at the front hall, Xiao Yu searched around but did not see his father's figure.

He then remembered that there was a tournament between the Xiao Clan and the Jialie Clan today; Xiao Zhan and the elders were likely at the arena.

With that thought, Xiao Yu decided to go and take a look.

He felt a sense of anticipation.

His third brother had been training at Jia Nan Academy for two years; he wondered how much his strength had improved and if he had advanced to a Dou Master.
