When Xue Ming and Xuan arrived back in the capital, she begged him to keep what happened between themselves.
Maybe she didn't know; dual cultivation can't be hidden. Like using a lotion that changes your skin, those around would definitely find out.
And Xuan did not correct her misconception of what she thought about dual cultivation, so he agreed with her.
It was after they arrived that Xuan got the chance to concoct the medicine he had talked of. Right now, the sick emperor was holding the bowl of medicine.
"This would only last for a few hours, about three," said Xuan.
"But after I cultivate with the technique I would be fully on my feet, right?" Emperor Woo asked, but Xuan disappointed him.
Medicines don't work that way. Now the emperor had to take the medicine three times a week and practice the technique at least once a week.
The medicine was for him to be on his feet for three hours, while the cultivation technique was to replace the grease in his rusting meridian yin.
