Chapter 575: Jiang Xuan's Merits

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Jiang Xuan felt a surge of joy, "Many thanks, Daoist Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly, "If you have encountered any difficulties in your cultivation, Daoist Friend Jiang, speak them out; Wang will certainly do his utmost to help."

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoist Friend Wang, your cultivation speed is so astonishing—do you have a special method of cultivation? Could you impart it to me?"

Having said this.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, her heart filled with trepidation.

Matters of cultivation are a taboo among cultivators.

Asking so bluntly would very likely provoke Wang Jianqiang's resentment.

But she had little time left now and truly had no other way.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang frowned.

He revealed a look of contemplation.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Jiang Xuan sighed inwardly, "Daoist Friend Wang, this question of mine was indeed somewhat abrupt, but I have my own hidden hardships; I hope Daoist Friend will not take offense."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang looked at Jiang Xuan.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled, "Actually, it is nothing; it is no harm to tell you. Wang possesses a Secret Technique that can accelerate cultivation speed."

"Moreover, this method can not only accelerate my own cultivation speed but can also assist others."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's response, Jiang Xuan was overjoyed.

He truly had a special means!

"Then, Daoist Friend Wang, could you help me?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Wang Jianqiang with some nervousness.

Hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face.

Jiang Xuan's expression tightened, "Daoist Friend Wang, I know this request is very excessive, but for certain reasons, I must break through as soon as possible. I beg you to help me."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he said slowly, "Daoist Friend Jiang, you must have heard that Wang hails from the righteous sect, the Junzi Sect."

"The Junzi Sect has strict rules and places the greatest importance on decorum."

"Wang's method for accelerating cultivation is a top-secret technique of the Junzi Sect, and it is strictly forbidden to use it on any cultivator outside the sect."

Jiang Xuan's expression dimmed, "Since it is truly difficult for you, Daoist Friend, then let us drop the matter."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression became conflicted.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth hard.

"Daoist Friend Jiang and I share a deep friendship; if you have a request, Daoist Friend, I would truly feel uneasy if I did not help."

"I shall make an exception for you this once, but I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Jiang Xuan was overjoyed and bowed to Wang Jianqiang, "Many thanks, Daoist Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "When does Daoist Friend Jiang intend to begin?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better," said Jiang Xuan.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Since that is the case, there is no time like the present; let us do it today."

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Wang Jianqiang looked around and gazed toward a mountain range a hundred miles away, "This is not the place to perform the technique; let us go to that mountain range."

"Good."

Jiang Xuan did not suspect anything.

The two figures flashed and vanished at the same time.

The next moment.

The two appeared above the mountain range.

Wang Jianqiang waved his hand, and a magnificent Palace Artifact manifested.

He looked at Jiang Xuan beside him, "Daoist Friend Jiang, let us go in."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

The two flew into the palace.

The next moment.

Spirit Light flashed on the Palace Artifact, and it shrank to the size of a grain of rice, falling into the mountain range.

Inside the Palace Artifact.

Wang Jianqiang and Jiang Xuan had arrived in a spacious hall.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the expectant Jiang Xuan.

He smiled, "Now, let us begin."

Jiang Xuan nodded, "Good."

"Put away all your Dharma Robes."

"Good—ah? What?"

Jiang Xuan had just readily agreed, but then reacted, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a blank face.

"Put away your Dharma Robes."

Wang Jianqiang looked at her as if it were a matter of course, "My Secret Technique requires me to channel Spiritual Power into you using special finger techniques to form the corresponding Dharma seals before the acceleration effect can be produced."

"There cannot be the slightest obstruction during the process, otherwise the Dharma seals will not be perfect, and the acceleration effect on cultivation will be greatly discounted."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan's face turned bright red in an instant, "But..."

Wang Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "But what? Hurry up. You are a grown man; do you think I would take advantage of you?"

"Even if you wanted me to, Wang does not have that hobby."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the clothing on Jiang Xuan's chest.

Jiang Xuan froze on the spot.

"Huh."

The next moment, Wang Jianqiang's palm suddenly tightened, and he looked at Jiang Xuan in surprise, "Daoist Friend Jiang, you look so thin and weak, I didn't expect you to be hiding so much meat; your muscles are actually so well-developed."

Wang Jianqiang's words jolted Jiang Xuan out of her stupor, and she looked down at Wang Jianqiang's palm.

A shrill, piercing scream immediately rang out.

Wang Jianqiang covered his ears with both hands.

He only lowered his hands once the screaming stopped, looking at Jiang Xuan with some helplessness, "Daoist Friend Jiang, you are a grown man, why such a huge reaction?"

"It's fortunate that there is no one here, otherwise I, Wang, would likely be unable to explain this clearly."

Jiang Xuan's expression faltered, and the look on her flushed face shifted rapidly.

Could Wang Jianqiang have already seen through her Disguise and was intentionally taking advantage of her just now?

No~

That couldn't be.

Her method of Disguise was of a very high level; even a Cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Stage would be unable to see through it.

Furthermore, it was she who had taken the initiative to suggest that Wang Jianqiang guide her; it had nothing to do with Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang must have been unintentional.

Thinking of this.

She took a deep breath and calmed her emotions.

She cupped her hands in a salute to Wang Jianqiang, "I am sorry, Daoist Friend Wang, it is my fault. I, Jiang, have some mysophobia and am somewhat unaccustomed to being touched by others."

"So that's how it is." Wang Jianqiang nodded, then his brows furrowed tightly, "However, during the process of my Secret Technique, if the Dharma Robe is not removed, it will only affect the results somewhat, so it can still barely be performed."

"But physical contact is unavoidable."

"If Daoist Friend Jiang is truly unwilling, I fear it cannot be performed."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

However, she did not remove the Dharma Robe.

Instead, she chose to proceed while wearing it.

Wang Jianqiang secretly crushed the Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill into powder, applied it to his fingertips, and pressed them against various acupoints all over her body.

He secretly circulated his Spiritual Power to refine the medicinal efficacy into her body.

Under these circumstances, the effect was naturally far inferior to direct consumption, but it could still barely retain thirty percent of its efficacy.

Half an hour later.

Wang Jianqiang finished "performing the Technique."

"Alright, that will do."

"For the next day, your speed of absorbing the Desolate Source Liquid will increase."

"However, because the Dharma Robe obstructed it, the power of the Technique was significantly affected, and it can only exert half its efficacy."

"I have troubled you, Daoist Friend Wang."

Jiang Xuan stood up and nodded toward Wang Jianqiang.

At this moment, her face was completely flushed red.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and reminded Jiang Xuan with a face full of goodwill, "Daoist Friend Jiang, I just discovered a problem."

"What problem?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Wang Jianqiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Your body is a bit too soft. As a man, this is somewhat unseemly. If you have the chance, you should train specifically to address that."

As he spoke, he seemed afraid that Jiang Xuan would be angry.

He added with a smile, "Of course, it's not that you don't have any merits; at the very least, your pectoral muscles are quite well-developed."
