Chapter 1693 - 1690: The Benefits of Dual Cultivation
At the moment Ye Qiu bowed in respect, Xu Wendong’s gaze was drawn to the view at her neckline.
The skin at the edge of the neckline was as delicate as sheep jade, exuding a soft sheen, and under the light, it subtly revealed a hint of warmth.
Her neck was long and fair, elegant like a swan, revealing a graceful curve in its slight bend.
As Ye Qiu bowed, the skin at her neckline was slightly stretched, exhibiting a natural tension.
Her chest gently rose and fell, forming a rounded and full curve under the cover of the cheongsam.
That full chest slightly trembled, like a flower about to bloom, exuding an enticing allure.
Xu Wendong’s gaze involuntarily moved along the edge of the neckline, the slightly exposed fair skin appearing particularly dazzling under the light.
The skin at the neckline contrasted with the fabric of the cheongsam, forming a unique aesthetic.
As Ye Qiu straightened up, her chest, held high, caused the cheongsam to swell into a full arc.
The contour of her chest looked particularly rounded under the cheongsam, like a smooth pearl, evoking a desire to grasp and caress.
Her fair skin exuded a faint pink tint under the light, as if it were dyed by the sunset into a rosy glow.
The delicate skin’s subtle sheen reminded Xu Wendong of dewdrops at dawn, sparkling and crystal clear, emanating a bewitching aura.
After a brief distraction, Xu Wendong casually said, "What happened today wasn’t the Ye Family’s fault; someone used their reputation to act unruly."
Ye Qiu respectfully said, "Rest assured, Mister Xu, the Ye Family will certainly restrain the clan’s behavior in the future and prevent similar incidents from happening."
She paused for a moment, then added, "I noticed Miss Liu’s shop has excellent cheongsams in both style and material, so from now on, we’ll have the clan order clothes here. It will also make up for Miss Liu’s loss."
After a brief chat, Ye Qiu took her two cousins and left.
As for the other women, they were all measuring themselves and picking their preferred fabrics.
Liu Shimei was so busy she didn’t even have time to speak to Xu Wendong.
"Sister Shimei, you go ahead, I’ll return to the shop," Xu Wendong greeted Liu Shimei before driving to the Mystic Spirit Pavilion on Antique Street.
The sky was gloomy.
A massive dark cloud floated in the sky, giving the illusion of a brewing storm.
A terrifying heavenly majesty also pervaded the world.
"Is someone undergoing tribulation?" Xu Wendong muttered to himself, understanding well that many cultivators had emerged on Earth, so it was only natural for someone to undergo tribulation.
The foot traffic on Antique Street was not very high; except on Saturdays and Sundays, there wouldn’t be many people, especially today as the sky was so overcast, making the street appear even more deserted.
Upon entering the Mystic Spirit Pavilion, a wave of refreshing air greeted him, like a thin veil gently brushing over his skin, bringing a slight coolness.
Xu Wendong quickly scanned the pavilion and immediately spotted Zhang Nian meditating on the sofa.
A cold aura surrounded Zhang Nian, like a wind blowing from a distant icy land, enveloping her in strands.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, her posture upright, her hands placed on her knees, palms facing up.
The cold aura around her wasn’t constant, but fluctuated between strong and weak.
The cold aura behaved like a living entity, wandering around her body.
Sometimes it spread powerfully, causing the surrounding air to seemingly freeze instantly with a chilling sensation.
Sometimes it would weaken, as if restraining itself, yet that cold aura continuously lingered around her.
Seeing this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but speak, "If you can’t calm your mind, don’t try to cultivate, or you’ll likely undergo deviation."
At the sound of Xu Wendong’s voice, Zhang Nian slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes resembled a deep, profound cold pool, both chilling and clear, her vibrant pupils exuding strands of coldness.
She frowned slightly, confused, and said, "Why do I feel a thick cold energy inside me, like a torrential river, yet I can’t control it?"
Xu Wendong slightly furrowed his brows, doubting Zhang Nian’s words.
He extended his right hand, his fingertips radiating a faint glow, which was his soul force. As he released his soul force, he slowly probed it into Zhang Nian’s body.
In an instant, an icy, piercing coldness surged forth.
That coldness felt like numerous sharp ice spikes, fiercely stabbing at his soul force. His soul force seemed trapped in an icy environment, experiencing intense discomfort, even feeling frozen.
Xu Wendong quickly withdrew his soul force, staring at Zhang Nian in shock, "When did you develop this terrifying cold energy inside you?"
Despite Zhang Nian’s extremely rare Chaos Cold Ice Body, the emergence of this thick cold energy still left Xu Wendong utterly astonished.
At Xu Wendong’s words, Zhang Nian’s face flushed with a hint of crimson. She lowered her head slightly and, suppressing her inner shyness, said, "Yesterday, I underwent deviation. After our dual cultivation, this cold energy appeared within me."
Xu Wendong’s face reddened; he hadn’t expected this profound cold energy within Zhang Nian to be born from their dual cultivation.
With a change of thought, he was no longer puzzled.
After all, he practiced the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, which boosts a partner’s cultivation level in dual cultivation.
Zhang Nian was no exception.
But the benefits she received were beyond what he had imagined.
Pausing for a moment, Xu Wendong said, "First, calm your mind. I’ll teach you how to guide this cold energy."
He understood.
The Chaos Cold Ice Body differs from ordinary cultivators; she doesn’t cultivate True Qi or Golden Core.
For when the cold energy within her forms into a core, it transforms into an ice sphere, similar to a Golden Core for ordinary cultivators.
Zhang Nian nodded seriously.
Xu Wendong steadied his emotions and began, "Close your eyes, focus internally, and feel its presence."
Zhang Nian closed her eyes, furrowing her brows, striving to feel the cold energy within her.
Xu Wendong continued, "The cold energy is like a rushing river; you must learn to control its direction. Use your mind to guide it, don’t try to force control, but rather follow its natural flow."
"Now, start from the dantian, slowly moving the cold energy along the meridians. Be careful not to let it rush out all at once; let it flow gradually, like water in a stream."
Following Xu Wendong’s instructions, Zhang Nian began channeling the cold energy within her body.
She could feel the cold energy steadily moving inside her, like a cold stream flowing through her body.
Yet, there was no discomfort!
Xu Wendong continued: "When the cold energy reaches the junction of the meridians, let it pause briefly, then push through to widen them before continuing to guide it."
Watching Zhang Nian’s body slightly tremble, the pain evident on her face, he couldn’t help but say, "Don’t rush, take your time. You need time to adjust to this cold energy, and of course, you need enough patience!"
"Try to see if you can gather this thick cold energy in the dantian to form a core!" As he said this, Xu Wendong held his breath, a strong sense of anticipation rising within him.
