LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 2
Chapter 2: The Mysterious Yin Physique, Advancing Together:
“What a long name! And it’s even called a divine technique. This must be an incredible technique, right?”
Lin Yuan asked instinctively.
“It is indeed quite powerful.”
Gu Shuqin responded softly, her face slightly flushed.
Noticing her reaction, Lin Yuan asked in confusion, “Master’s wife, what’s wrong?”
Gu Shuqin hesitated for a long moment, struggling internally before finally making up her mind. She spoke with difficulty, “Yuan’er, I need you to cultivate this technique with me.”
“Huh?”
Lin Yuan was puzzled. “Why does the technique need to be cultivated together? Can’t it be practiced alone?”
As he said this, a sudden realization struck him, and he blurted out, “Could this be a dual cultivation technique!?”
Gu Shuqin’s expression showed a brief flicker of panic before she immediately denied it. “Of course not! I am your master’s wife. How could I possibly teach you such a technique?”
Lin Yuan was still confused. “Then why must we cultivate it together?”
Gu Shuqin quickly regained her composure and replied calmly, “Because practicing this technique as a pair leads to faster progress. One can practice it alone, but the effects are far inferior compared to cultivating together.”
“I see.”
Lin Yuan suddenly understood and then asked, “So how exactly do we cultivate this technique?”
“Come here first. I will teach you slowly.”
“Alright.”
Lin Yuan stepped forward and sat beside her.
He then saw her take out a book of scriptures.
“Master’s wife, is this the technique you mentioned?”
“Yes. Passing it down through spiritual transmission might be incomplete, so I am giving you the original manual. This way, you can comprehend it more effectively.”
Gu Shuqin’s expression remained calm, but there was an undeniable hint of unease in her voice.
This was her first time being alone with a man other than her husband, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Alright, I’ll study it first.”
Lin Yuan took the manual and carefully flipped through it.
As he read, he quickly grasped the cultivation method of the technique.
It was indeed not a dual cultivation technique, but rather a harmonized cultivation method—just as she had described.
For this technique to work, a man and a woman had to first open their hearts to each other, then press their palms together until their energies intertwined, achieving a balance of yin and yang within their bodies.
“Wait… isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
The difference between harmonized cultivation and dual cultivation was subtle at best. The sudden revelation left Lin Yuan feeling at a loss.
Though Gu Shuqin was undeniably beautiful, he had always seen her as an elder and never had any improper thoughts about her.
Now, he was suddenly required to engage in such an intimate act with her. How could he not be flustered?
Gu Shuqin also knew this was improper, but at this point, there was no other choice.
She was at 9th stage Vein Opening Realm, just one step away from breaking through to Condensing Core Realm.
With just one session of harmonized cultivation, she could successfully advance.
Once she reached Condensing Core Realm, not only could she ensure the Qin family’s safety, but she could also continue to support Lin Yuan within Cloud Mist Sect.
If she had to cultivate with a man, she would rather choose someone she trusted than fall into the hands of those lecherous elders.
After much thought, her disciple was the only suitable choice.
Handsome, kind-hearted, hardworking, and respectful to his elders.
His talent might be a bit lacking, but that could always be compensated for.
With the power of this Yin-Yang Divine Technique and her guidance, Lin Yuan’s future achievements would surely be remarkable.
Besides, a woman as sought after as she was—how could she let herself be taken advantage of by some other man?
If it had to benefit someone, it might as well be her own disciple.
The only problem was their master-disciple relationship, which left her feeling uneasy.
But in the end, she hardened her resolve.
“A disciple of my husband doesn’t really count as my disciple. If it becomes a problem, I’ll just expel him from my tutelage in the future. Then, it won’t be an issue anymore.”
With that thought, Gu Shuqin steeled herself and loosened the sash at her waist. “There’s nothing wrong with this. Just do as I say.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened as he unconsciously scanned her fair and curvaceous figure, mumbling, “But…”
His bold gaze made Gu Shuqin’s cheeks flush. She quickly urged, “Stop hesitating! Take off your mourning clothes. You can’t expect your master’s wife to be the only one fully honest here, can you?”
“…Wouldn’t that be taking advantage of you?”
“I’m not an outsider. What’s wrong with you taking a little advantage?”
“But—”
“Enough with the excuses! I’m a woman, and I’m not afraid. Why are you, a man, acting so timid?”
Since she had already said this much, how could Lin Yuan refuse?
He followed her instructions.
Under Gu Shuqin’s guidance, they began harmonized cultivation.
Their palms pressed together as their bodies gradually moved closer, channeling the yin and yang energies, allowing them to circulate and merge within their bodies.
The refined energy transformed into pure essence, which they absorbed into their dantian.
Logic told Lin Yuan that this was improper.
But since they had already started, there was no turning back.
“I’m sorry, Master…”
With no other choice, he silently apologized in his heart, cleared his mind of distractions, and focused on cultivation.
It was unclear how much time had passed.
When the session ended, Gu Shuqin sat cross-legged, absorbing the refined energy.
Lin Yuan, on the other hand, lay beside her, utterly exhausted.
Cultivating this technique was far from easy.
Especially since Gu Shuqin’s cultivation was higher than his, leaving him in a passive position for most of the process, completely at her mercy.
This left him feeling aggrieved. He made up his mind that once he grew stronger, he would take control next time.
Wait—what was he thinking!?
Lin Yuan was startled by his own thoughts.
His master had only just passed away, and it hadn’t even been seven days. How could he be so disrespectful toward his master’s wife?
That would be utterly disgraceful!
Shaking off the ridiculous thought, he focused on sensing the changes in his body.
Though the process had been exhausting, the benefits were immense.
His cultivation had skyrocketed from 5th stage Body Refining Realm to 9th stage Body Refining Realm in one go!
He was ecstatic.
For ordinary cultivators from humble backgrounds, each advancement in Body Refining Realm required a huge amount of resources.
Yet he had just broken through four minor stages in a single session of cultivation.
This was unbelievable!
Was the technique really this powerful?
If he continued cultivating with it, wouldn’t he be able to reach Vein Opening Realm and Condensing Core Realm in no time?
At that moment, Gu Shuqin finished her meditation and opened her eyes.
Her skin now seemed even more luminous, her aura more ethereal. The energy she exuded was clearly much stronger than before.
Lin Yuan immediately asked, “Master’s wife, did you break through?”
Gu Shuqin smiled radiantly. “Yes. Thanks to this cultivation, I’ve successfully advanced to 1st stage Condensing Core Realm.”
Lin Yuan was overjoyed. “That’s amazing! Now that you’ve reached this level, we don’t have to fear the Lei and Xie families anymore!”
At the mention of the two families, a cold glint flashed in Gu Shuqin’s eyes. “If they dare to touch the Qin family, I will make them pay the price.”
Hearing her chilling words, Lin Yuan felt a bit worried. “The heads of the Lei and Xie families are probably above 1st stage Condensing Core Realm. If they join forces, can you handle them?”
Gu Shuqin playfully tapped his forehead with her slender finger. “You silly boy, you’re still in Body Refining Realm, yet you’re worrying about me?”
Lin Yuan spoke with genuine concern. “Master’s wife, aside from my parents, you’re the person closest to me. Of course, I worry about you.”
Gu Shuqin’s expression softened. “Don’t worry, Yuan’er. I possess a special physique. My combat power is far superior to ordinary cultivators.”
“A special physique?”
“The Mysterious Yin Physique.”
“So that’s why I broke through four stages at once! It was all thanks to you, Master’s wife!”
