Chapter 549 Leading the Way
??Not long after refining the pill, without waiting for any other disturbances like Gu Zhen’s sudden visit before that could delay him, he swiftly left for the Yin Yang Unity Palace with Wu Mengqi, Luo Mingyu, and Gong Cui.
Upon arriving he was met by Qiu Yilao, who has achieved Mortal Transcendence Realm.
“Greetings, Daoist Wu”
“Hahaha, we would have to find other ways to call each other, Palace Master Qiu.
But in the meantime, I have arrived with the Dual Cultivation technique I told you about, and of course duplicates for everyone”
He chuckled and produced a small piece of jade from within his Spatial Ring, handing it to her along with a separate low-level Spatial Ring.
“This is…?”
Qiu Yilao looked at the piece of jade, noticing that complex patterns and symbols were intricately carved into it, but unreadable to her as she did not have any knowledge of Symbol Arts. She then turned to him with a raised eyebrow, in light confusion.
“I finally had the opportunity to create jade slips, which is a more secure as well as overall superior way to pass on knowledge.
After all, this technique is way too sensitive for anyone outside of us knowing it.
Try running your Spiritual Qi through it”
He chuckled, and as she did as he told her to, her eyes widened with shock. Knowledge of the technique in its purest form flowed into her consciousness.
“This jade now is bound to your Spiritual Qi, so it is your personal one. If anyone tries to use it, it will shatter so make sure not to lend it to anyone
Plus you may notice that if you try passing this knowledge to anyone, it would come out as pure gibberish, which is a common way to protect legacy”
He then added an explanation.
“But… why didn’t you do the same with the technique you gave us before?”
She asked with astonishment. She now remembered that there were ancient damaged relics looking somewhat like this jade slip found from ruins, but no one has ever reported it having any such effect.
“You see, my cultivation was insufficient to create them before, though it still technically is. But as I had a little more time, and the help of two Mortal Transcendence Realm experts, it was finally possible to produce them.
Regarding the technique before, this jade slip also has it, so I would appreciate if you retrieved and destroyed all of the scrolls”
He chuckled.
“…? But… this version is slightly different…”
Qiu Yilao noted after a quick confirmation that the technique they used as their main cultivation method was in the jade slip as well.
“I had some time to improve it so I did. The previous one was mostly focused on fixing the flaws in your previous one, which is why it is alright even if it is somehow leaked, but this one is far superior”
She looked at him with wide eyes for a moment, and then made a wry smile, shaking her head in forfeit.
The words he told her before, ‘You have to get used to it’, reverberating in her mind as she finally understood that being shocked at every turn would only exhaust her, and decided to just accept everything as it was, going with the flow.
Wu Mengqi, Luo Mingyu and Gong Cui chuckled, recognizing that expression. They knew it very well, as someone who made the same one at one point or another.
That inevitable acceptance of the absurd and inconceivable was something people around Wu Long had to go through. Life was much easier that way for them.
It took some time for the members of the Frozen Garden Palace to learn the Dual Cultivation technique, since even if the way it was given to them in a form which was far more efficient and easy to get, it still had to be comprehended. And not only was it a foreign concept entirely for them, but it was also quite advanced, raising the difficulty of learning it.
The ones struggling with it were assisted by Luo Mingyu while Gong Cui helped Wu Mengqi explore and shape her own sword, at the same time polishing her skills with the Zither.
However, the first two to completely master the techniques were not surprisingly Qiu Yilao and Grand Elder Qu, as they both were known for superior comprehension skills among the Sect.
“Well then, shall we proceed to the cultivation chamber? It is only natural that you lead the way for others as the ones leading the Sect, so in a way this outcome is very fitting”
He then chuckled, as the two widened their eyes, and looking at each other. They then gulped, and slightly nodding to each other, turned and gave him a firm nod with determined expressions.
The side intended for the Frozen Garden Palace members in the cultivation facility of the Yin Yang Unity Palace was divided into chambers that held ten or less people.
And by design, they were all connected to a big cylindrical hall that led to one specific cultivation chamber at the bottom of the hall, which, unlike other ones had a big and soft bed and nothing else in it.
The two beautiful ladies followed Wu Long into the room with slightly red cheeks, but at the same time, there was an almost imperceptible, well hidden curiosity in their eyes.
“You do not need to get nervous, we can start slowly, and I will gradually introduce you to Dual Cultivation.
Trust me, by the time you experience it, you will find out it is far more natural and intuitive than you may have imagined”
Wu Long spoke with a light smile, his voice having a naturally calming effect as there was no tension or any notes of persuasion in his tone.
“Then… who would be first?”
Qiu Yilao asked with a slight shiver in her voice.
“…I will go first, Palace Master”
Unexpectedly, Grand Elder Qu spoke up after taking a deep breath. Wu Long could see that she did so partially because she noticed that Qiu Yilao was not ready to go first, and a gentle smile touched his lips.
“Very well, Grand Elder Qu…”
“Qu Mian… you can simply call me by name…”
She interjected, as she somehow felt that the way he addressed her was too formal in these circumstances.
“Would be glad to, feel free to call me by name as well, Qu Mian”
“…Thank you”
The always strict and proper Grand Elder of the Frozen Garden Palace revealed a slightly shy look under the gaze of the astonished Palace Master.
“Then…”
Wu Long approached the beauty who slightly gulped, but did not retreat.
