Chapter 10 - Dual Cultivation Partner

nA smile appeared on the face of Zhan Chan as he saw the faint image appearing on his dantian.
"Success
", he shouted inside his mind.
nHe observed the faint image on his dantian and saw the kui fish type pattern appeared on it.
n
"It is more easier than I have expected. Seems like the Yinyang divine diagram will be complete only when I absorb the energy of moonlight
", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
nHe opened his eyes and an anxious little Tao came to his view.
"Little Tao, what is the matter?
", he smiled at the little girl.
n
"Young master, are you okay?
", she asked with concern in her eyes.
n
"I am more than okay. You don't need to worry about me. Just prepare a bath quickly
", Zhan Chen said with a smile.
nPerhaps she also got affected by the jovial mood of Zhan Chen, Little Tao quickly forgot about her worries. She quickly ran outside to arrange a bath after seeing the sweat drenched clothes of Zhan Chen.
nZhan Chen took out his robe and threw it nearby. He felt slightly uncomfortable after seeing the sticky black substances all over his body.
n
"The Celestial Yang sutra is indeed a good technique. I have managed to flush out the impurities in just a single cultivation session
", he thought to himself.
nHe bathed properly after Little Tao arranged his bath. Upon finishing, he took out a blue robe and wore it.
nHe felt perplexed after turning his back. Little Tao was looking at him in a dazed appearance.
"Little Tao, why are you looking at me like this?
"
n
"Young master, you are more handsome than before
", Little Tao replied while blushing.
n
"Huh
", Zhan Chen became dumbfounded for a moment. He raised the nearby mirror and observed his face.
n
"Damn it, what is going on?
", he cried out upon seeing his face. He was already one of the most dashing young man of the Red cloud city. Although in others eyes, his talent was poor but when it came to look, he was always in foremost in the Red cloud city.
nThis time, his face had turned more fairer. Previously, there were some marks of injuries on his face but now everything was gone. His skin was looking spotless. It was looking so good that even the face of little Tao would be pale until n comparison.
n
"Damn it, is a man's skin supposed to be so smooth?
", he murmured in a dumbfounded look.
"Forget it. Even if I turn into a ghost, I will practice this technique
", he thought to himself.
nThe day got past peacefully as no one came to visit him. He asked Little Tao and learned that his big sister and mother had entered seclusion. He knew the situation of his family. So, he could understand the urgency of everyone.
n
"Just give me few more days. I will definitely crush all our enemies
", he murmured to himself.
nAfter dinner, he again went to his courtyard. Dazzling moonlight cascaded on him as he sat cross-legged. He operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and absorbed the energy of moon into his body.
nThe energy operated in an illusory path and flowed thorough his four meridians. Finally, it gathered into his dantian from all over his body. Zhan Chen felt a cool and smooth sensation after absorbing the moon energy.
nGradually, he felt more cold but it was not so unbearable like the energy of sun. Zhan Chen operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and energy of moon continued to pour inside his body. He could feel an anomaly when he was cultivating the Celestial sutra. The amount of moon energy he could absorb was much lower compared to the energy of sun. He persisted on and continued to operate the Celestial Yin Yang sutra.
nGradually, another kui fish shaped pattern lit up on his dantian and when it completely appeared, he knew he had successfully cultivated the first step of Celestial Yin Yang sutra.
nZhan Chen didn't relax at all and continued his cultivation. This time, he didn't pull in the moon energy specifically. He absorbed the natural energy of heaven and earth like regular cultivators.
nIf it was his previous cultivation technique, then the heaven and earth energy would have charged towards the unopened meridians but now with the Celestial Yin Yang sutra, it was different.
nThe Yinyang divine diagram glowed faintly on his dantian. It absorbed the pure essence of heaven and earth and expelled the unrequited energy of heaven and earth. Zhan Chen was observing the changes in his dantian through his soul consciousness and he felt surprised after seeing the changes. He kept absorbing the heaven and earth energy and gradually a globular shaped mass of energy gathered in his dantian.
nThe globe of energy was made of two colours. One was glowing white and another was pitch black in colour. According to the description of the Profound path of dual cultivation book, white represented Yang while black represented the Yin. Thus the energy flowing inside his body was the purest heaven and earth energy.
nZhan Chen kept cultivating and he stopped only after feeling the warm rays of morning sun. What frustrated him was the pitiful amount of energy he could gather in one cultivation session. What he could absorb now was one third of his previous capacity.
nHe stopped his cultivation but he didn't open his eyes. Instead, he pondered about his future path of cultivation. The Yinyang divine diagram expelled more than half of the heaven earth energy, each time he cultivated. Although he could cultivate the most pure energy of heaven and earth now, it effectively reduced the amount of energy he could take in each session. If he normally cultivated now, he would take three times of a normal cultivator to reach a breakthrough.
n
"It looks like dual cultivation is the only pheasible option for me. No wonder Evil emperor was so famous in his entire life. The amount of yin energy one can cultivate from moon is pitifully low. The only option is dual cultivation but the crux is a woman is needed for everyday cultivation
", Zhan Chen massaged his head after thinking about the problem he would face in his cultivation.
n
"Whom should I choose first. Although I like big sis, she is still hesitant about our relationship. As for my other crushes in the city, they are still little girl in my eyes
", he thought to himself.
n
"Forget it, I will first read the books which are stored in the diagram space. My coming of age ceremony is coming in few days. After it, will be an adult. I will choose for my partner's then.
nGirl or woman I don't mind but they must have cultivation level higher than me
", Zhan Chen decided in his mind.
