Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

When Hu Qing returned to Haitian City, it was still dark. He knew he needed to process the hides of the wild forest boars as quickly as possible; if they rotted, his two days of work would be in vain.

Hu Qing crossed the busy streets and came to the city's workshops, where many craftsmen gathered, their shops filled with various tools and materials.

Hu Qing's eyes swept across the many shops and finally stopped in front of a leatherworker's shop.

He walked into the shop and saw the leatherworker, a middle-aged man, busy at work. His hands were covered with calluses, but his movements were remarkably deft.

Hu Qing walked forward and took out 31 skins of wild forest boar from the storage box and placed them in front of the leatherworker.

The leatherworker stopped his work and looked at the leather with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He obviously didn't expect that someone would bring so many wild forest boar skins.

"These... these are the skins of wild forest boars?" There was a hint of surprise in the leatherworker's voice.

Hu Qing nodded: "Yes, I need you to process these leathers as soon as possible, making them soft and tough."

The leatherworker carefully examined the leather and nodded. "I see. These leathers need special treatment to become soft. However, this will take some time."

Hu Qing took out 15 silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the cobbler: "This is a deposit. I hope you can finish it as soon as possible."

The leatherworker took the silver coin and nodded. "Don't worry, I will deal with the leather as soon as possible."

Hu Qing left the shoemaker's shop and felt a little relieved.

Now the most difficult thing has been done. If he had not come into contact with leather in his previous life, he would not have to spend money to find a leatherworker. He doesn't have much money on him.

He decided to go to a restaurant and have a good meal to celebrate his successful hunting.

However, when he turned around and prepared to leave, Hu Qing suddenly smelled the stench of decay and blood on his body.

His nose wrinkled as he realized he needed a hot shower first.

"It seems I need to go home and take a shower first." Hu Qing said to himself.

I was just about to go home, but then I remembered that I didn’t have a bathtub at home, so I had to go buy one.

Hu Qing came to a carpenter's shop and bought a big bathtub for one silver coin.

He carried the bathtub on his shoulders and returned to his home.

After returning home, Hu Qing immediately began preparing hot water. He placed the bathtub in the corner of the yard and bathed right on the remains of the tree, hoping that the water would nourish it and perhaps even bring new life to the tree.

Soon, the hot water was ready and Hu Qing began to add water to the bathtub.

He undressed and stepped into the hot water. The water enveloped his body, washing away the fatigue and stains of the past two days. Hu Qing closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort of the bath.

As he soaked in the hot water, Hu Qing felt unprecedented relaxation.

His body became soft in the hot water and the soreness in his muscles gradually disappeared.

Slowly, slowly, snoring sounds came from the bathtub.

One night passed in a flash...

When the morning light shone through the window onto Hu Qing's face, he woke up from his deep sleep.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying in the bathtub, his body white and wrinkled from being soaked. The water was already cold, but his body felt surprisingly relaxed.

Hu Qing sat up and looked around, then he realized that he had fallen asleep in the bathtub last night.

He shook his head and smiled awkwardly. He felt a little guilty because he hadn't practiced last night. He felt a little uncomfortable not doing something he had been doing for a long time.

But Hu Qing soon adjusted his mindset and felt that it was necessary to relax occasionally.

After all, what has been done has been done, and there is no medicine for regret in the world. If you keep regretting, it will only make you more anxious and there will be no benefit.

Ever since he took over Gu Yang's body, his nerves have been tense and he has never had a real rest. He needs this kind of relaxation to adjust his state.

Hu Qing stood up from the bathtub and stretched his body. He was surprised to find that his skin had become whiter, and its elasticity and toughness had improved.

He recalled the scene when he first met Gu Yang. At that time, Gu Yang had dark skin, but now, his skin has become white and smooth.

"This...is this the wonder of cultivation?" Hu Qing said to himself, his heart full of surprise.

As his body moved, Hu Qing felt an unprecedented hunger.

He realized that after practicing, his appetite had also become bigger, perhaps because his body needed more energy to support the practice.

"It seems I need to replenish my energy." Hu Qing smiled and decided to go out to the restaurant for dinner.

Hu Qing quickly tidied himself up, put on clean clothes, and walked out of the house.

His mood was light and cheerful, and his steps became brisk. He walked through the familiar streets and came to Qianweilou, a famous restaurant in Haitian City.

Qianweilou was bustling with activity, and the aroma of various delicacies filled the air. Hu Qing found a seat and sat down, ordering a few of his favorite dishes.

He enjoys delicious food, feels the satisfaction that food brings, and enjoys the fun of life.

As dishes were served one after another, Hu Qing's hunger was gradually satisfied.

He savored every dish, feeling the deliciousness of the food and the comfort of his body.

After eating and drinking, Hu Qing felt particularly relaxed. He decided to go to the leatherworker's shop to check on the progress of the Huanglin Boar Hide processing.

Hu Qing walked into the cobbler's shop and found that the cobbler was busy working, but the progress was not as fast as he expected.

The leatherworker looked up at Hu Qing and said apologetically, "Sir, processing these wild forest boar hides is more complicated than I imagined. I've just finished the first one. The rest need to be processed, which will probably take about half a month."

The leatherworker looked at the craftsmen outside and said, "But sir, if you need it urgently, you can find a few more leatherworkers to help you."

Hu Qing thought about it and decided that if he hired more people, he would have to pay more money, but he was not in a hurry anyway.

At the same time, he also knows that high-quality work always takes time.

"It's okay. I have patience." Hu Qing said with a smile, "Half a month is fine. As long as the final result satisfies me."

After leaving the leatherworker's shop, Hu Qing decided to use this time to improve his cultivation level.

He began to focus on the second move of the "Life and Death Battle Method" - the Death Seal. This move was more profound than the Life Seal and required a higher level of spiritual power control.

Hu Qing returned to his residence and began to practice the Death Seal. He followed the instructions in the secret manual, mobilizing the spiritual power in his dantian and trying to form the Death Seal.

However, this move did not seem as easy to master as the Shengxi Seal. Hu Qing tried for several days but could not succeed.
