The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 188. Ling Xiaoyue and Qin Yunzhu
Chapter 188: 188. Ling Xiaoyue and Qin Yunzhu
Upon hearing Fang Zhou’s request to learn a new technique, Ling Xiaoyue wasn’t surprised.
Each realm is different, and naturally requires different techniques. Some cultivators lack complete inheritance and can only cobble together fragmented methods. Although this can still lead to cultivation, the hidden dangers are immense.
Only techniques handed down in a complete sequence can lead to further advancement. This is one of the advantages sects have over scattered cultivators.
Ling Xiaoyue appears to be a scattered cultivator, but she claims her techniques are more advanced than the current immortal laws of the cultivation world. They are divine skills, naturally passed down in a complete sequence, from Qi Refinement to Ascension.
Ling Xiaoyue began to teach Fang Zhou the new technique for the Foundation Establishment Realm without mentioning payment this time.
The new technique is called Waning Moon, which indeed sounds like a continuation of New Moon, but the name left Fang Zhou speechless.
He now strongly suspects that Ling Xiaoyue’s so-called divine skills are just a load of nonsense, with names based on lunar phases.
The Waning Moon Chapter is specifically for Foundation Establishment. After listening, Fang Zhou realized that Ling Xiaoyue’s teachings were methodological, directly telling you what to do.
In contrast, Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique and Sword Control involve theories that require deep understanding before knowing what to do.
Both have their pros and cons; with Ling Xiaoyue’s technique, you know what to do straightaway, but don’t understand why.
Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique teaches you why first before you figure out how.
Fang Zhou was grateful that he possessed the Wise Time skill, allowing him to forcefully grasp Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique and Sword Control; otherwise, he wouldn’t have learned them in his lifetime.
Ling Xiaoyue seized the chance to ask Fang Zhou about the details of his Foundation Establishment. Ling Xiaoyue had achieved Foundation Establishment on her own, but she didn’t expect Fang Zhou to be the same.
After Fang Zhou recounted his process, Ling Xiaoyue felt a slight twinge of guilt. It was certainly her oversight not to teach Fang Zhou the Soul Stabilizing Technique beforehand.
However, she shouldn’t be blamed, as she calculated that Fang Zhou would need at least half a year to achieve Foundation Establishment. Who would have guessed that he also learned Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, speeding up the time so much?
If this money-earning disciple failed at Foundation Establishment and died, Ling Xiaoyue would be heartbroken. She would lose so much money.
Of course, Ling Xiaoyue wouldn’t admit to such minor mistakes. Facing Fang Zhou’s resentful gaze, she changed the topic and talked about the golden core in his chest.
This involves new knowledge. After Foundation Establishment, refined spiritual energy fuses with the modified body, resulting in Yin and Yang attributes.
Female cultivators are Yin, while male cultivators are Yang.
Tree Demons, being of dual genders, belong to grass and wood demons and typically possess Yin attributes.
After the Innate stage, spiritual energy transforms into Innate True Qi, involving the Five Elements.
Grass and wood demons inherently belong to the wood element of the Five Elements, so their golden cores embody both Yin and wood attributes.
The refined spiritual energy carries coldness, essentially possessing both Yin and wood attributes, which might be beneficial or detrimental to Fang Zhou.
Regardless of whether it’s spiritual energy or True Qi, the more attributes the better, assuming control is maintained, especially for conflicting attributes.
Fang Zhou, being of Yang attribute, benefits from Yin attribute spiritual energy if managed well, achieving Yin Yang Balance and receiving significant benefits. Many female demons seek Innate Yang Qi for this reason.
If poorly controlled, conflicting Yin and Yang can be fatal.
After hearing Ling Xiaoyue’s explanation, Fang Zhou felt a bit tense, realizing that absorbing Innate Yang Qi would require him to simultaneously absorb Yin attribute spiritual energy from his golden core for balance.
However, possessing both Waning Moon and Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique divine skills, the risk isn’t too high.
...
On the night of her return, Ling Xiaoyue left Moon Viewing Peak, quietly arriving at the Thousand Swords Palace at Heavenly Sword Peak.
Without alerting anyone, Chang Kong was already waiting at the palace gate.
"Hey, Chang Kong, long time no see."
Ling Xiaoyue chuckled at Chang Kong, casually tossing her a small item: "Here’s a gift for you, don’t mind it."
If Fang Zhou witnessed this scene, he would be shocked that the stingy Ling Xiaoyue actually gave someone a gift.
Chang Kong caught the gift from Ling Xiaoyue.
It was a sword grinding stone.
Despite knowing Ling Xiaoyue couldn’t possibly give anything valuable, seeing the sword grinding stone still made veins pop out on Chang Kong’s forehead.
A faint sword light flickered from her, but ultimately receded.
Chang Kong coldly said to Ling Xiaoyue, "Thanks, the Sect Master has been expecting you for a long time."
"Whoa, did she bring out her thousand-year-old wine?"
Ling Xiaoyue jumped off her jug and swaggered into the Thousand Swords Palace.
Chang Kong hesitated briefly with the sword grinding stone in hand, but ultimately put it away instead of discarding it.
Inside the Thousand Swords Palace, Qin Yunzhu was curled up in her den, holding the latest issue of Heavenly Sword Daily.
Ling Xiaoyue entered, and Qin Yunzhu remained motionless, her eyes fixated on the serialized novel in the newspaper.
She was reading a sensational story published by Xuan Ling, engrossed in it.
Ling Xiaoyue plopped down in front of the throne, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and began splurging on them.
Although Qin Yunzhu seemed to ignore Ling Xiaoyue, several jugs of wine were already placed beside the throne.
Ling Xiaoyue glanced at them with disdain: "Yunzhu, you’re too stingy. Every time you serve me foot-wash-grade wine? Bring out your thousand-year-old wine, let’s drink to our hearts’ content tonight."
Without raising her eyes, Qin Yunzhu replied, "I can only drink a bowl of that wine when I became the Sect Master. If I sneak two sips, Sword Control will fight me to death. You want a drink? Ask Sword Control."
Ling Xiaoyue brashly said, "We drink it secretly, then replace it with something else. How could she possibly notice?"
"Drink if you like, otherwise get lost!"
"No drink, no gain."
After a good while, finishing the latest Chapter of the novel, Qin Yunzhu relaxed and stretched: "Have you found the person you’re looking for?"
Ling Xiaoyue shot melon seed shells like a machine gun, scattering them everywhere.
Chang Kong, entering from outside, coldly observed the melon seed shells all over the ground, veins popping on her forehead again.
"The world is vast; such a person cannot be found easily."
Pretending not to notice Chang Kong’s murderous gaze, Ling Xiaoyue bent down to grab a jug: "Let’s stop talking about depressing things. Drink up, drink up."
Qin Yunzhu didn’t ask further. Knowing Ling Xiaoyue had been searching for someone long before they met.
After cultivators practice Fasting, it doesn’t mean they stop eating. On the contrary, they enjoy sating their appetites more.
Both Qin Yunzhu and Ling Xiaoyue were such people.
Along with Chang Kong, they ate and drank till the moon set and stars faded. Ling Xiaoyue and Qin Yunzhu were already drunk. They drank not foot-wash-grade wine but high-quality wine that could intoxicate even Golden Core Realm cultivators.
"I... tell you... the moon... is mine... one day I’ll pull it down, show it to you..."
Ling Xiaoyue slurred to Qin Yunzhu.
Qin Yunzhu, face flushed, with half of her clothes torn open, chuckled: "The entire cultivation world... is mine. Who can’t brag...?"
Chang Kong knee-sat on the side, silently sipping wine, listening to the two drunk fools brag.freewēbnoveℓ.com
