Chapter 112: Unconventional Cultivation

"What do you want to do?" Bai Yuan said.

Bai Yu gazed at Bai Yuan, her wine-red big eyes blinking, revealing a hint of doubt as she said: "Master, have I not expressed myself clearly enough? I just want your Primordial Yang Qi, and to give you my Primordial Yin Qi."

Bai Yuan:???

He momentarily did not know how to answer Bai Yu.

Primordial Yang Qi, Primordial Yin Qi — for those who cultivate them as their main practice, one can swiftly increase through dual cultivation; Bai Yuan naturally understood this very well.

Primordial Yang Qi is possessed only by males who have not yet broken their purity; Primordial Yin Qi naturally belongs to females who have not yet broken their purity.

A female's Primordial Yin Qi for a male, and a male's Primordial Yang Qi for a female, are the best substances for dual cultivation.

"Master, you're unwilling to do something so simple?" Bai Yu pouted resentfully, her big eyes looking at Bai Yuan with grievance.

Bai Yuan said, utterly speechless: "Dual cultivation is not a simple matter; this must be a choice made with utmost caution."

Bai Yu asked doubtfully: "Dual cultivation? What dual cultivation? I merely want your Primordial Yang Qi, Master; how did it get dragged into dual cultivation?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Without dual cultivation, how can one exchange Primordial Yang and Primordial Yin?"

"Why not?" Bai Yu let out a soft "hng".

The next moment, Bai Yuan clearly felt a strange current within Bai Yu's body continually gathering toward her lower abdomen, then slowly rising and issuing from her cherry lips.

"Master, for you."

The intangible Primordial Yin Qi was gathered by Bai Yu through a special method, forming a cluster that, even if confined, continued to flow as colorless qi.

Bai Yuan nearly had his jaw drop.

Is this possible? He could clearly feel his own heart's yearning for that cluster of Primordial Yin Qi in Bai Yu's small hand.

This is the result after being influenced by the Yin Yang Creation Classic.

"Xiao Yu, can you use the same method to separate my internal Primordial Yang Qi?" Bai Yuan asked, as if he had found a guarantee.

Bai Yu lightly nodded, raised her head, and said: "Of course."

"Then let's begin!" Bai Yuan said with a smile.

Bai Yu also said nothing more; she withdrew her hand from Bai Yuan's, then placed it on her master's lower abdomen and closed her eyes.

Instantly, Bai Yuan felt his body ignite like fire; streams of intangible qi normally imperceptible converged toward the point where Bai Yu touched, then flowed along her slender jade hand into her body.

Not long after, Bai Yuan felt as if he had lost something, yet also as if he had lost nothing; the only change was his increased yearning for the Primordial Yin Qi in Bai Yu's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yuan circulated the Yin Yang Creation Classic, and the Primordial Yin Qi in Bai Yu's hand was instantly absorbed into his body.

Without paying attention to Bai Yu's changes, Bai Yuan first sat cross-legged, circulated the Yin Yang Creation Classic, and began his first dual cultivation.

The essence of dual cultivation is actually the exchange of yin and yang qi.

At this moment, Bai Yuan and Bai Yu truly qualify as dual cultivators.

Yin and yang qi merged within his body; Bai Yuan comprehended the Dao of Yin and Yang from it while simultaneously enhancing his cultivation.

After digesting Bai Yu's Primordial Yin Qi, the sky had turned completely dark, the high moon hung aloft, and stars dotted the night sky.

Slowly opening his eyes, what entered Bai Yuan's sight was a thirty-six-petaled blue lotus, resplendently beautiful.

Gazing at the blue lotus before him, Bai Yuan clearly felt that after she completed the yin and yang, she underwent a subtle transformation — an ineffable sensation.

Bai Yuan was very satisfied.

Thus time flew by swiftly.

During this period, Bai Yuan relied on Bai Yu's separation method and began the path of dual cultivation with Mu Junwu's five bodies.

Among Mu Junwu's five bodies, the earth body's cultivation of the Nurturing Yuan Classic is also a dual cultivation method; therefore, to aid his training, Bai Yuan also had Bai Yu daily separate his yang energy.

Under these circumstances, Bai Yuan's cultivation progressed rapidly, steadily advancing toward Foundation Establishment Perfection, far surpassing the previous reliance on disciples for improvement.

At the same time, during this period Bai Yuan elevated his personal spirit artifact to the third rank, gained 100,000 merit points, and became a Senior Artificer.

Furthermore, to strengthen his trump card, Bai Yuan refined sixty-three Blood Dragon Scale Swords into seven, granting them the power to slay god officials.

At the same time, eighty-one Black Dragon Scale Swords were likewise refined by Bai Yuan into nine, each fully unleashed possessing the power to slay god officials.

After over a month passed, Ditian finally brought the myriad medicinal herb seeds collected by the Spirit Hall to the Ice and Fire Two Instruments Eye.

As each seed was planted, and with the protection of the Five Elements Formation, Bai Yuan's stronghold was also completely constructed.

As for the human world, nothing major occurred; the Spirit Hall continued to pursue Bi Bi Dong, yet no one noticed.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, was wholeheartedly inheriting the Angel God Position.

However, because of Bai Yuan's reminder, she rejected Qian Daoliu's assistance, independently inherited the Angel God Position, and occasionally sought Ditian to practice combat.

At this time, Ditian had also become well-versed in the human world; nowadays, any Soul Scholar wishing to obtain a Soul Ring must undergo his approval.

Hunting Soul Beasts without approval is a criminal act.

This is what Ditian and Qian Renxue discussed.

Originally Ditian wanted to outright forbid humans from hunting Soul Beasts, but that would surely be opposed by Qian Renxue and others; thus, after consulting Bai Yuan, he chose to compromise.

As for the procedure after approval, it is carried out by ferocious beasts leading the way to observe Soul Beasts hunting each other; once a victor is determined, the beasts pause, and then a Soul Master performs the killing.

Finally, the remaining bones are returned to the victor.

This thus constitutes a mutually beneficial good deed.

Soul Scholars can obtain Soul Rings without danger.

Soul Beasts will not be wantonly slaughtered by Soul Masters.

Most importantly, Ditian in the human world has gained unparalleled authority, with countless nobles and dignitaries vying to curry favor with it.

However, the present Ditian does not understand these matters.

Therefore, he has paid no heed to the nobles' flattery.

He appears exceedingly aloof.

This lets the human elite who understand these matters feel especially reassured.

"Ditian, this is the Transformation Pill I refined earlier; I hand it to you, but remember, first feed it to my disciple."

Di Tian nodded and said: "This is natural."

Watching Di Tian's departing back, Bai Yuan gazed at the sky and sighed.

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

During these three years, Bai Yuan practiced dual cultivation through the Yin Yang Creation Classic, his cultivation already reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection, while Bai Yu and Mu Junwu's five bodies also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, Bai Yuan clearly understood that to reach the Golden Core stage, even if Mu Junwu, Bai Yu, and Wang Qiu'er all attained it, he still could not successfully break through.

Because the cultivation gap between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Perfection is not double or triple, but more than tenfold; even if Mu Junwu could fight five as one, he still could not reach it.

After that, a few more days passed, and Gu Yue Na arrived.

Moreover, he also gave Bai Yuan a precious gift.

It was a dark blue ring.

But upon seeing it, Bai Yuan was greatly shocked!
