Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Closed-door Meditation
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang practiced cultivation together, but it wasn’t true dual cultivation, so there was no fear of others observing.
Under the urging of Qin Huai’an, the two calmed their minds and pressed their palms together, beginning to circulate their cultivation technique.
As the cultivation technique operated within their bodies, a new Circulation World formed between them, achieving Yin Yang unity.
The power elements from the surrounding heaven and earth continuously poured towards them from all around, drawn into their bodies by the acupoints opened along their martial meridians, and slowly refined by the circulation of their cultivation technique into True Yuan.
Qin Huai’an watched carefully from the side. Although he couldn’t see the inside of their martial meridians, he could sense a great deal.
He couldn’t help but be astonished.
Such a terrifyingly effective method of cultivation was truly alarming.
Since stepping into the Innate Realm, Qin Huai’an felt as though he had entered an entirely new domain of cultivation, attaining a wondrous sense of longevity akin to that of heaven and earth.
It wasn’t just him; all martial artists who’d stepped into the Innate Realm felt the same.
It was as if they had entered a brand new world.
Yet after many years of cultivating in the Innate Realm, these people found that their potential for progress wasn’t as grand as imagined; instead, they experienced an overwhelming difficulty in breaking through.
With each session of cultivation, they could feel their bodies absorbing the purest essences from the heaven and earth.
But compared to the power absorbed by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang during their cultivation, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Their cultivation was like plundering the power elements from heaven and earth—it was simply too insane.
What kind of cultivation technique had the Fatty Taoist imparted to the two of them, and why was it so domineering?
Qin Huai’an found it hard to calm his emotions for a long time.
After a while, he finally calmed down, glanced at their faces with a complex expression, and said, "Alright, I’ve understood now."
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang stopped their cultivation at the same time.
The two had developed a tacit understanding during their time training together, even sharing a kind of mutual comprehension.
"Grandfather, did you really understand?" Qin Yanyang looked at Qin Huai’an with some anticipation and said, "If you really understood, I could cultivate with you later, maybe it could make your strength progress even faster."
Hearing this, Qin Huai’an gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "Silly girl, do you really think dual cultivation is that simple?"
"Dual cultivation?"
Qin Yanyang was startled, and her pretty face flushed red.
As a martial artist, how could she be ignorant of the term?
She had never thought in that direction, but now that the elder had pointed it out so bluntly, she instantly felt indefensibly embarrassed.
Qin Huai’an nodded, "Yes, that’s correct, your practice constitutes true dual cultivation. To achieve such effects requires a foundational cultivation technique. The technique that the Fatty Taoist passed down to the two of you is a dual cultivation technique, which is why you both can have such miraculous effects when practicing together. If you were to cultivate with someone else, you wouldn’t achieve the same results."
The corner of Yang Fei’s mouth twitched.
He thought of his dual cultivation with Tong Yunshu.
He nearly let slip.
It seemed that what Qin Huai’an had said was not wrong.
His cultivation with Qin Yanyang was incredibly effective.
But when he cultivated with Tong Yunshu, although the effect was better than cultivating alone, it was merely tolerable and not as good as with Qin Yanyang.
However, it wasn’t completely ineffective.
If the results of his dual cultivation with Qin Yanyang were to be quantified as a hundred percent effectiveness, then his dual cultivation with Tong Yunshu would be fifty percent.
Qin Huai’an was incredibly excited, and suddenly he thought of something, his expression becoming grave as he looked at the two and said, "From now on, you two will stay with me here."
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang were both taken aback, looking at him with confusion.
Qin Huai’an said, "The Zhang Family has become more and more arrogant. Once Zhang Wenfeng comes out of seclusion, his strength will undoubtedly be enough to crush ordinary Innate Realm Martial Artists. At that time, no one will be able to suppress him, and the entire situation in the Divine Continent Country will drastically change.
Now that you two have achieved such effective cultivation results, you must cherish them and not waste any time. In the coming period, stay here to cultivate, and I will act as your protector, so that the outside world does not discover this secret of yours."
Yang Fei, upon hearing that he had to stay here all the time, couldn’t help feeling uneasy and said, "Is that really necessary?"
Qin Yanyang also had other affairs to attend to and did not want to be confined here, saying, "Yeah, we have been cultivating every day without slacking, so there’s no need to stay here."
Qin Huai’an shook his head and said, "Girl, haven’t you realized that you are about to make a breakthrough? For us martial artists, advancing to a higher realm is the most important matter. You’ve recently been cultivating with this young man, your cultivation has been solidified, your realm stabilized, and there is already a faint sign of breakthrough. It would be better to take this opportunity and break through in one fell swoop to the Innate Realm. With your grandfather as your protector, coupled with this young man’s assistance in Dual Cultivation, your chances of success are very high."
Qin Yanyang’s eyes lit up, clearly persuaded by Qin Huai’an’s words.
Seeing that Qin Huai’an had recognized the signs of Qin Yanyang’s breakthrough and wanting to keep them here for her sake, Yang Fei no longer objected and nodded, saying, "We might as well give it a try."
In fact, he understood Qin Yanyang’s condition better than Qin Huai’an.
When the two of them practiced Dual Cultivation, they honestly showed each other their realm conditions, so nobody knew better than him whether Qin Yanyang was at the verge of breakthrough.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Fei felt that Qin Yanyang would qualify to enter the Innate Realm in a month’s time.
But if the two of them entered closed-door cultivation here, the time could be reduced to a third.
With the guarantee of his Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique, Qin Yanyang’s entry into the Innate Realm shouldn’t be difficult.
Seeing Yang Fei speak in this manner, Qin Yanyang was also inevitably excited.
The Innate Realm was the ceiling of the Martial World.
If she could step into this realm this year, she would become the youngest National Guardian Level in the Divine Continent Martial World of the past century.
The lure of that glory alone was hard to refuse.
She couldn’t help but look at Yang Fei and asked, "This might delay many days – you... you don’t have a problem with that?"
Yang Fei said, "What could I possibly have to worry about. But I do need to make a phone call to Li Xuantong to ask for leave in advance. I also need to inform Yang Wen and my second uncle’s family, so they don’t look for me when they need something."
There was one thing he did not say; he would have to secretly send a message to Tong Yunshu, asking her not to call or message him during this time.
After all, in the coming days, he would be with Qin Yanyang incessantly, and it would be a disaster if Tong Yunshu were to call or send a message with words that Qin Yanyang shouldn’t see.
...
In the Zhang Family’s backyard.
Zhang Yunqing had been in seclusion for many days.
Ever since he had resolved to break through to the Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade, Zhang Yunlong had asked their grandfather, Zhang Wenfeng, and then secured a few elixirs, personally acting as protector for his younger brother to help him with his breakthrough.
Half a month had already passed.
Calculating the time, in another seven days his brother could emerge from seclusion, by then possessing the strength of Energy Transformation Realm Ninth Grade, or possibly even stronger.
Although such methods had damaged his foundation, meaning that even if he later progressed into the Innate Realm, he would be among the weakest, given his natural talents, having the cultivation of the Innate Realm was already his limit.
"Hmph, Qin Yanyang, you actually brought that kid to Imperial City, and the Qin Family even allowed him to enter their domain, showing no consideration for the face of the Zhang Family." Zhang Yunlong thought of the information he had previously gotten, his face darkened, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.
After his brother comes out of seclusion, first, he will fight that kid in the Life and Death Platform and publicly kill him.
Then, when grandfather emerges from seclusion, it will be time to take care of that old man Qin Huai’an, completely crushing the Qin Family underfoot. At that time, who within the Divine Continent Country would dare to oppose the Zhang Family?
With this thought, a smug smile appeared on Zhang Yunlong’s face.
