NOVPUBThese thoughts flashed through Wang Ba’s mind and were gone in an instant.
Wang Ba’s face still held respect, and he asked some more specific questions about cultivation.
When it came to the details of the dual cultivation practice between men and women, Yan Cai’er was well-informed. With just a few pointers, she greatly enlightened Wang Ba.
Yan Cai’er also recovered some of her confidence and smiled as she offered a reminder:
"Of course, no matter how much is said, it’s not as clear as experiencing the cultivation firsthand. How about I give you a practical taste?"
"Uh..."
Wang Ba’s expression froze for a moment before he smiled and said:
"I’m grateful for Sister’s care, but I regret I must decline. I have to visit Diwu Hall later and dare not delay too long."
"Is that so? That’s a pity. When Brother has time, you can come over. Other sisters might not understand, but when it comes to Spiritually Dual Cultivation, I am quite skilled."
Yan Cai’er showed regret on her face.
But this time, she didn’t make any guarantees.
Hearing Yan Cai’er’s words, Wang Ba quickly nodded.
However, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he pulled out a Storage Treasure from his sleeve.
"What’s this for?"
Yan Cai’er immediately showed displeasure.
Wang Ba said sheepishly:
"I have learned the unspoken secrets of Hehuan Peak from my sister, and also received her generous guidance—this is just a small gesture of appreciation; my gratitude cannot be fully expressed. You must accept it, Sister."
"Put it back; I taught Brother because he once saved Liu Lan, owing a favor to Hehuan Peak. Secondly, I also took a liking to Brother. There’s no need for such formalities."
Yan Cai’er firmly refused.
Wang Ba could only helplessly respond:
"Sister might as well take a look; after all, it’s a token of your brother’s sentiment..."
"No matter what it is, it’s merely the transmission of some cultivation methods. How can I accept something from Brother..."
Yan Cai’er said earnestly.
At the same time, a thought crossed her mind, and she sent her Spiritual Sense into the Storage Treasure.
Upon seeing a very familiar-looking jade porcelain bottle inside, her expression suddenly changed:
"Is this the long out-of-stock Youth Jade Liquid?"
With a thought stirring in her mind, she promptly coughed lightly:
"Well then, since it is Brother’s intention, I shouldn’t refuse any longer. Brother, do come often; there are still some important tips about cultivation that I haven’t shared with you."
Wang Ba smiled faintly and then gave a fist and palm salute: n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"Your Brother takes his leave."
With that, he rode his Flying Shuttle up into the sky and left.
Only Yan Cai’er, who could not wait to take out the Youth Jade Liquid, was left behind...
...
"No wonder Hehuan Peak doesn’t have a very good reputation," Wang Ba mused, shaking his head slightly as he floated in midair.
The practice of Spiritually Dual Cultivation, though it involves no physical contact, brings pleasure to the soul that far exceeds that of the flesh.
Because of this extreme pleasure, cultivators are more likely to assimilate with the world, thereby achieving the effect of harvesting and replenishing from the world.
Wang Ba wasn’t opposed to such a cultivation method, but that didn’t mean he would accept cultivating spiritually with Sister Yan.
After all, Spiritually Dual Cultivation, as attractive as it sounds, is, in practice, not much different from physical union.
And for this reason, after long periods of cultivation, the men and women of Hehuan Peak often develop deep affections for each other. Yet once there is a mismatch in cultivation base, they may change partners to pursue advancement in cultivation, which complicates relationships...
Thus, it isn’t surprising that the Sect holds a poor view of Hehuan Peak.
Although cultivators aren’t concerned with lifelong commitments, such casual switching of cultivation partners is indeed at odds with common ideas.
"I should go back and find Bu Chan," Wang Ba inwardly decided.
Those who have a cultivation partner naturally seek out their own companions.
Of course, the Qian Kun Returning Method is not limited to male-female dual cultivation; it’s just that he hasn’t fully figured out the method yet.
Soon he landed on Wanfa Peak.
Bu Chan, along with Wang Qingyang and Wang Yi’an, had not yet returned, and he was content with the quiet.
Alone in the spirit beast ground, he captured a Stone Lizard, most of whose body was purple, and initiated the Bloodline Identification Skill. After observing for a while, he still felt his vision was unclear.
"This Thunder Stone Lizard, after a couple more generations of breeding, should be able to purify its bloodline."
"Right, the Shenxu Beasts I caught in Chen State should also be bred by now..." Wang Ba contemplated.
He then let out nine creatures the size of calf-sized toads from the Spirit Beast Bag.
These Shenxu Beasts are Class III middle-grade with a peculiar look and eyes that were half the size of their bodies.
Wang Ba set a breeding range for these few Shenxu Beasts and then inserted some Lifespan into each of them.
The Spiritual Liquid produced from refining nine Shenxu Beasts could refine the eyes, developing Spirit Eyes that can see through illusion and falsehood.
In theory, as long as Shenxu Beasts are continuously available, the effects of the Spirit Eyes can also be continuously enhanced.
Of course, in practice, Shenxu Beasts are rare, and very few people have ever developed these Divine Illusory Eyes.
If not for his eagerness to master the latter two layers of the Bloodline Identification Skill, Wang Ba wouldn’t have been so urgent about it.
"It will probably still take some time..."
Wang Ba looked around at the spirit beasts again and noticed that the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, the mother, had given birth to some oddly shaped Stone Lizards.
After watching for a while, he didn’t pay much more attention.
Everything should be left to time, as only those who could survive on their own were worthy of being nurtured by him.
After all, his time was precious, and he had too many tasks to attend to.
Cultivation, Beast Control, and dealing with miscellaneous affairs within the Sect.
He glanced again at the thirty million mortals in the Pearl Dungeon.
After a brief review, he noted that over the past year or so, there had been quite a change in the dynamics. Without external interference, these mortals had formed their own small nations, even engaging in conquests among themselves.
