Chapter 123 Joint Cultivation
The curtains on the carriage windows were drawn, and one could see what was happening outside.

Strings of lanterns light up the streets.

The streets are bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, three times more lively than during the day.

Passersby saw the carriage and looked at it with surprise or envy.

With so many guards and attendants surrounding him, and with such a gorgeous carriage and fine horses, it was clear that there was a distinguished person inside.

There are many dignitaries in Yujing, but not many of them are so grand. He is obviously an important figure among important figures.

Chu Zhiyuan also didn't want to show off.

But after all, it was the first time for him to accompany his wife who had not yet married him, so he couldn't be too embarrassed. It would be too much of a spoilsport. Sufficient pomp and decency was also a form of respect.

After you get familiar with it, it won’t be too late to dress casually.

The light from outside came in through the windows.

As the carriage moved forward, the light inside the carriage became brighter and dimmer.

Xiao Ruoling, sitting in the flickering light, became more and more charming.

There was a faint fragrance in the carriage.

Xiao Ruoling asked with a smile: "So this matter is over now?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "After all, it's just a small matter. It's enough to get so many benefits. Don't keep nagging about it."

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently: "There are some elixirs in the mansion. If you need any, you can come here and get them."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hands hurriedly.

Be extremely careful when taking things from your father-in-law's house.

What's more, now we have the Dragon Blood Pearl and the Magic Spirit Pearl. We don't need anything else in the short term. It won't be too late to become a Grandmaster first.

"I will be in seclusion these few days and will not be able to split myself up. If you leave the house, you may as well let my guards follow you... When you become a Grandmaster, we will go out of the city to play."

"You're going to become a Grandmaster so soon?"

"During this retreat, I will strive to achieve innate perfection within ten days. As for the Grandmaster, it's hard to say." Chu Zhiyuan said, "It may be quick, or it may take some time."

There is no way to predict now.

The variable lies in the Dragon Transformation Technique.

The improvement of the Dragon Transformation Art has strengthened the barriers in the body, and the last level of the Jade Tower is exceptionally solid. Who knows if it will affect the path to becoming a Grandmaster.

"Innate perfection..." Xiao Ruoling raised her jade-like face and looked out the window with emotion, her bright eyes blurred as if in a dream.

As far as she knew, it took him only two months from entering the innate realm to reaching the perfection of the innate realm. This speed of progress was truly astonishing.

If he could reach the Grandmaster level again, and go from innate level to Grandmaster level within a year, that would be even more amazing.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I have a good understanding. Do you want me to help you comprehend it?"

"That couldn't be better." Xiao Ruoling agreed readily.

She got the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Skill from her ancestors. It was related to Yaoyue Palace but not related at all. Moreover, Chu Zhiyuan was not an outsider, so it was not considered a side story.

Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and stretched out her hand.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her left hand.

The fluctuating light did not affect his vision.

It really looks like a work of art carved from mutton-fat white jade.

It is delicate and lustrous, with a faint luster, and is well-proportioned. It is slender yet plump, and so beautiful without a trace of worldly air.

He resisted the urge to caress her gently and placed his fingers on her wrist.

A breath of air entered her body, and suddenly everything inside her body became clearly visible, as if she was illuminated by a hole.

"Practice Qi." Chu Zhiyuan said.

Xiao Ruoling practiced the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Technique, and her skin immediately lost its rosy color and turned into white jade, becoming more and more crystal clear and white.

The alluring blush on her cheeks quickly faded.

The confusion in the bright eyes quickly faded away, and the depth also faded away, leaving only clarity and calmness.

Chu Zhiyuan observed all her changes and found that her fair wrist became cool, like touching a piece of cold jade.

The breath in the meridians is fresh.

The exercise route is as complicated as the third level of the Dragon Transformation Technique.

He couldn't help but be amazed. It was almost impossible to master such a complicated technique without a strong enough soul and mental strength.

This is just the route of the practice. There is also a strange aura in her meridians, which is different from ordinary true qi. It should be condensed from the special aura in the void.

Therefore, if you want to practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu, the first thing you need is a keen sense, and the second is a strong spirit.

The two complement each other, and a strong spirit often leads to keen perception.

But the third point is different, it requires unobstructed and wide meridians.

There are many branches along the route of the exercises that are rarely used by ordinary people. The meridians are not wide and smooth enough, so a cycle cannot be completed.

In addition, he felt that it also needed a bit of artistic conception to match it.

The aura of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's Kung Fu will affect one's mind, and if one wants to get started one must match the state of mind. If the state of mind is not in harmony, one will not be able to sense the aura.

Only when these four points are combined can one enter the realm of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu.

He let go of her hand and looked at Xiao Ruoling with emotion: "It's not unfair that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Kung Fu was lost forever."

It is very similar to the three ancient inheritances that I have practiced.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Am I practicing correctly?" "There's nothing wrong with it, but your technique..." Chu Zhiyuan thought about it and found an appropriate description: "It's too yin."

Xiao Ruoling asked: "Too much yin energy?"

"Loneliness and yin cannot last long. After a while, one will inevitably become depressed and feel that everything is boring and the mundane affairs are like floating clouds."

“…Yes, that’s true.”

Xiao Ruoling pondered and nodded slowly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Besides practicing, everything else is boring, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Ruoling nodded.

He usually plays the piano, chess, and reads books. He also built a pleasure boat on the lake for his own entertainment, and grows flowers and plants and feeds fish.

Despite trying hard to adjust my mood, I still feel bored.

Fortunately, I can practice qigong. When I practice, time passes very quickly and my mood becomes peaceful and happy, as if I have returned to my mother’s arms.

Chu Zhiyuan's mind was full of flashes of inspiration, like starlight. Every time he caught a ray of starlight, it was a new and interesting idea.

He has been refining the aura of the Wonderful Spirit Pearl, changing his brain, improving his thinking, and making him more agile, lighter, livelier and faster.

The brain is always in a state of bursting with inspiration.

"Fortunately, you are not alone." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "If you were alone, you would probably end up living in seclusion in the wilderness and becoming a hermit."

There are no Taoists or monks in Dajing, but there are many hermits who pursue happiness beyond the secular world and want to forget the pain they have suffered in the secular world.

"Well, my father and my little brother do put me at ease."

“This technique… it’s only natural that it should be passed down to the next generation.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed.

I am afraid that the more I practice, the more indifferent I will become, and I will even become disgusted with the world, to the point where I will kill others if I don’t kill myself, and stop taking life seriously.

That is evil practice.

"Are there any future consequences?" Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly, like Xi Shi holding her heart, which could arouse others' sympathy.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "There should be a solution."

Yaoyue Palace is not an evil sect, so there must be a way to deal with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman's Power.

Do I have to go to Yaoyue Palace?

However, the relationship between Yaoyue Palace and Dajing is extremely delicate. Even if I go to Yaoyue Palace, Yaoyue Palace will not pay any attention to me.

It's no use asking.

Then you can only find it yourself.

A light bulb went off in his head and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiao Ruoling said: "If it really doesn't work, then just give up your martial arts."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Are you willing to give it up?"

"Anyway, it's just the innate realm. After it's abolished, the secret teachings of the Duke of Lianguo's Mansion will be the same." Xiao Ruoling said.

After practicing this, I read the secret teachings of the Duke's Mansion and suddenly felt it was easy and simple. I started practicing again, and it didn't take too long to reach my current level.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is a last resort. I won't take this step until the very end. There is always a way. Let's give it a try."

I now have a wealth of martial arts knowledge, super senses, and the Magical Spirit Pearl. I don't believe that I cannot solve this problem.

"Okay." Xiao Ruoling nodded slightly.

-

The two of them quickly returned to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, but Chu Zhiyuan did not say goodbye directly. Instead, he entered the mansion and went to the back garden.

The two came to the small pavilion on the rockery.

This small pavilion is located in a unique terrain. Standing in the pavilion, you can overlook the entire back garden and also see part of the Duke's Mansion.

Looking down, lanterns are hung everywhere in the Duke's Mansion, like stars in a patchwork.

Lanterns are everywhere in the back garden, illuminating the flowers and trees, creating a colorful interweaving of light and shadow.

The pavilion was brightly lit.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down beside the stone table, and suddenly a small stone flew out from his sleeve.

"Swish!" The pebble shot into the lake in the distance.

"boom!"

A column of water shot up into the sky from the lake.

The rain fell down and shattered the bright moon in the water.

This is the Heart-Searching Sword Technique, which instantly drains the true energy of the Great Purple Yang Technique in the Dantian.

Xiao Ruoling was startled and shocked by its power.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and stretched out his hand.

Xiao Ruoling stretched out her jade hand and let his fingers rest on her wrist. A warm and cool breath was injected into her wrist and entered her meridians.

Xiao Ruoling found that before she could practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Art, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Art was activated by itself, and gurgling cold air rushed towards Chu Zhiyuan's breath.

The two auras merged silently and suddenly became warm and soft.

This warm and gentle breath quickly merged with her original breath and quickly strengthened itself. After a while, her whole body was filled with warm and gentle breath.

When practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Technique, the breath is no longer cold and clear, but warm and soft, and the speed of the breath is faster and smoother.
