Dual Cultivation Could Be Divided into Literary and Martial Cultivation!

After Jiang Yingyue left, Lu Chen stared at the black "marble" in his hand, speechless for a long while.

"It takes ten thousand strands of Yin-Yang Essence..."

"I..."

Lu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He never could have imagined that the pitch-black "marble" Jiang Yingyue had given him was actually a Failed Spirit Transformation Pill.

Of course, he knew what a Spirit Transformation Pill was.

It was a supreme divine pill that could help a Nascent Soul patriarch at the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul Realm break through into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Moreover, in this age, the formula for the Spirit Transformation Pill had long been lost.

In Jiang Yingyue's hands, this Failed Spirit Transformation Pill was useless.

But in his, Lu Chen's hands, it was entirely different.

Yet Lu Chen could not bring himself to feel happy at all.

Damn it, restoring this Failed Spirit Transformation Pill required ten thousand strands of Yin-Yang Essence.

Ten thousand strands!

How was he supposed to get that?

How many times would he have to dual cultivate to gather ten thousand strands of Yin-Yang Essence?

This was practically a rhythm meant to drain him dry and kill him.

Lu Chen was truly speechless.

Before long, Zhao Hong returned with Little Xixi.

Lu Chen put away the Failed Spirit Transformation Pill in his hand.

Jiang Yingyue had actually delivered her to Zhao Hong long ago.

"Little brother master..."

Little Xixi was overjoyed to see Lu Chen and immediately pounced on him, wrapping her arms around him.

Lu Chen liked Little Xixi as well.

But he could not teach Little Xixi right now.

What was he supposed to do?

He thought of Yun Feiyan, the Joyful Union Sect's senior sister.

But Yun Feiyan had already returned to the mountain.

Then he thought of Liu Yan'er, the Blissful Sect's holy maiden.

No.

He immediately cut off that thought.

Little Xixi possessed a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root. If she fell into the hands of the Blissful Sect, that would be disastrous.

"Yun Household..."

Lu Chen thought of the Yun Household in Hehuan Town.

If there truly was no other way, he could only secretly send Little Xixi to the Yun Household first.

After all, the Joyful Union Sect was about to hold its Sect Grand Tournament.

And once the Joyful Union Sect's Sect Grand Tournament ended, the Black Tortoise Sect would strike against the Joyful Union Sect.

The Joyful Union Sect certainly would not obediently let itself be swallowed by the Black Tortoise Sect.

War might very well erupt between the two sects.

This would be a great upheaval.

He had to prepare for the worst.

"Little Xixi, go back with the white-bearded grandpa and see your father and mother first, so they won't worry."

Lu Chen said to Little Xixi.

"Mm, little brother, then I'll go see Father and Mother first!"

Little Xixi was very sensible.

After Little Xixi left, Lu Chen immediately summoned Bing'er, Huo'er, and Qing'er.

He wanted to dual cultivate with the three women and obtain Yin-Yang Essence.

This time, it would be proper dual cultivation.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged facing Bing'er. Their hands pressed together as they simultaneously circulated their dual cultivation technique.

The Joyful Union Sect's dual cultivation technique was absolutely the finest dual cultivation technique in the cultivation world.

The vital essence in their bodies flowed through their hands, forming a great cycle through both of their bodies.

Lu Chen discovered that every time their vital essence completed one great cycle, another strand of Yin-Yang Essence appeared within the Yin-Yang Cauldron in his dantian.

Sure enough, as long as he dual cultivated, he could obtain Yin-Yang Essence.

And who said proper dual cultivation was impossible?

Now that he had received the Yin-Yang Cauldron's inheritance, dual cultivation did not necessarily require that sort of thing.

This pure and restrained form of dual cultivation benefited both of them.

Moreover, every time the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture completed one Greater Celestial Circuit, the Yin-Yang Cauldron would produce a strand of Yin-Yang Essence.

Through this kind of dual cultivation, Lu Chen could help Bing'er open the meridians in her body and allow her to break through directly into the Qi Refining Realm.

He could gain Yin-Yang Essence while increasing cultivation—killing two birds with one stone!

Once Bing'er successfully broke through into the Qi Refining Realm, Huo'er took her place.

Lu Chen then helped Huo'er open her meridians and break through into the Qi Refining Realm.

Then Qing'er took her turn.

The three women took turns one after another.

Within Lu Chen's dantian, the Yin-Yang Essence in the Yin-Yang Cauldron grew increasingly abundant.

Lu Chen also took out pills for them to consume.

In just one night, Bing'er's cultivation broke through to Qi Refining, Third Level.

Huo'er broke through to Qi Refining, Second Layer.

Qing'er was the most incredible of all, breaking through all the way to Qi Refining, Fourth Level.

That was talent.

Others could only envy it.

After all, whether it was one's Spiritual Root or bloodline, both were innate.

These were not things one could acquire through later effort.

This was the bad thing about Spell Cultivation. From the moment a person was born, the difficulty of their path in Spell Cultivation had already been decided.

Body Cultivation was different.

Body Cultivation did not look at one's bones or bloodline.

Even an ant could rise powerfully through acquired effort.

But the path of Body Cultivation was far more arduous than Spell Cultivation.

Through this kind of dual cultivation, Lu Chen successfully obtained eighty-two strands of Yin-Yang Essence.

"Master, why are we dual cultivating like this? Does Master no longer like us?"

Bing'er could not help asking.

"Silly girl, how could Master not like you?"

Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you tonight..."

Bing'er trailed off, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"This is proper dual cultivation!"

Lu Chen sighed.

He was not some starving lust demon.

"Dual cultivation can also be divided into Literary Cultivation and Martial Cultivation. This time, we'll try Literary Cultivation; next time, we'll do Martial Cultivation!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chen stopped cultivating and rose from the ground.

"What? Dual cultivation can be divided into Literary and Martial Cultivation?"

Bing'er and the others were all dumbfounded.

It was their first time hearing that dual cultivation could be done this way.

Lu Chen began setting up the array platform.

He placed one array platform in the inner bedroom, then put the other into his storage pouch.

As long as he set up the other teleportation array platform somewhere hidden in Waste-Pill Valley, he would no longer need to run back and forth.

Furthermore, something major was about to happen in the Joyful Union Sect.

If he set up the teleportation array first, he could flee for his life if the situation became critical.

Before dawn, Lu Chen quietly departed.

Meanwhile, Bing'er and the others continued cultivating.

After all, the spiritual energy in the Number One Heavenly Room was far denser than outside.

Lu Chen carefully returned to the mountain.

He had expected Su Qingqing and the others to come punish him.

Yet he spent an entire day in Waste-Pill Valley, and no one came looking for him at all.

"What is going on?"

Lu Chen was very curious.

There were still three days until the Joyful Union Sect's Sect Grand Tournament.

Lu Chen could not be bothered with that. He directly set up the teleportation array platform inside Number Eighteen Waste-Pill Room.

Who would have thought that he would set up the teleportation array platform inside a Waste Pill Repository?

After setting up the teleportation array, he began restoring the failed pills.

At this time, the Joyful Union Sect's sect master issued a sect master's decree, summoning back all Joyful Union Sect Inner Sect Disciples who were outside.

The entire Joyful Union Sect was preparing for the Sect Grand Tournament three days later.

At the rear mountain.

Within the Joyful Union Secret Realm.

Jiang Yingyue sat cross-legged before an alchemy furnace.

Before her hung the two lines Lu Chen had spoken while putting on airs.

Jiang Yingyue had written down those two lines and hung them up.

She stared at them for an entire day.

Yet she still could not comprehend the supreme principles of the Great Dao contained within them.

"Is my comprehension insufficient?"

Jiang Yingyue was frustrated.

Ye Chenyu, the Joyful Union Sect's sect master, arrived.

When she saw the two lines before Jiang Yingyue, she too was shocked by them.

So that masked fellow truly was an unparalleled master.

From those two lines alone, one could see that the other party's understanding of the Dao stood far above theirs.

It was fortunate that she had not attacked that person.

Ye Chenyu had opposed Jiang Yingyue returning Little Xixi, who possessed a Supreme Heavenly Spirit Root, to that mysterious person.

But Jiang Yingyue had stubbornly insisted on doing so.

The two of them had become somewhat displeased with each other.

Yet Ye Chenyu ultimately compromised.

At this moment, Ye Chenyu secretly rejoiced.

If they had offended this person, the Joyful Union Sect would have been in grave trouble.

Since this person was so formidable, why not ask him to refine Nascent Soul Pills for them?

Lu Chen could never have dreamed that the unparalleled master he had impersonated would become the Joyful Union Sect's lifesaving straw.

Ye Chenyu was coming to find him.
