The pills had naturally all been produced by He Pingsheng, but to make things seem plausible, he told others that his master had refined the third-grade pills.
As for his master?
He was an old immortal who loved wandering the world, a divine dragon whose head might be glimpsed but never his tail.
With that explanation, no one suspected a thing.
"Good, good, good... Hehehe..."
Lin Zifang chuckled, then lowered his voice. "Fellow Daoist Xu, the secret actually lies in that cultivation technique you gave me!"
"After our last trade, I took it back to my lineage and started practicing it without much thought!"
"Later, I brought a few women into my home to cultivate with me. Guess what happened?"
"Hehehe... I actually broke through a bottleneck!"
"What?" He Pingsheng was utterly astonished. "The... Harmonious Union Scripture can help people break through bottlenecks?"
This truly opened He Pingsheng's eyes.
"Of course!" Lin Zifang said. "There are two ways to practice the Harmonious Union Scripture. I used the harvesting method!"
"If you ever run into a cultivation bottleneck, Fellow Daoist Xu, you might as well give it a try!"
He Pingsheng nodded.
There were two paths to practicing the Harmonious Union Scripture.
The first was the art of harvesting.
The second was the art of mutual replenishment.
What was harvesting?
It meant harvesting yin to replenish yang, or harvesting yang to replenish yin. When a man and a woman cultivated together, one benefited at the expense of the other's origin.
This method of cultivation was far too overbearing. He Pingsheng certainly would not use it.
At least, not on Qiao Huizhu.
The second method was mutual replenishment.
When practicing mutual replenishment, a man and a woman replenished each other, with yin and yang nourishing one another.
That way, both benefited.
But
