Chapter 27 Water Cultivation
"No."
Lu Bai refused without even thinking.
The System had already reminded him that before reaching six red hearts, it was not advisable to engage in indescribable relations with the entangled target.
You Lianruo was stunned.
She had thought Lu Bai might refuse, but she didn't expect such a decisive refusal, as if he was 'avoiding her like a plague.' Am I that terrifying?
At this moment, You Lianruo felt deeply hurt and wanted to cry from the grievance.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said, "The Dual Cultivation I'm talking about isn't actual intercourse, but cultivating together. That will help me recover from my injuries."
"Oh, that's fine then."
Lu Bai readily agreed.
You Lianruo bit her silver teeth, wanting to kick him.
"How exactly do we do it?"
"First, find a pond."
After speaking, You Lianruo got up and shot out of the cave.
Lu Bai could only follow, puzzled.
Half an hour later, the two appeared in a valley.
In a corner of the valley was a secluded pond, neither large nor deep, with very clear water.
You Lianruo suddenly said, "Turn your back."
Lu Bai felt inexplicable, but he still complied.
Then, he heard rustling sounds behind him, followed by a 'plop,' and ripples spread across the pond water.
Lu Bai turned his head to look and immediately couldn't take his eyes away.
He saw You Lianruo squatting in the water. Since the pond water wasn't deep, it only reached her shoulders, so everything above her collarbone was exposed. Faint starlight sprinkled down, illuminating her delicate face, making her look like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.
Seeing Lu Bai staring blankly, You Lianruo felt a hint of smugness inside.
"Come down!"
She cleared her throat and urged him.
Only then did Lu Bai realize he also had to go down. He smiled and said, "What, you didn't let me look at you just now, and now you want to look at me?"
You Lianruo's face flushed. She turned around in the water, presenting her jade-like back to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai quickly stripped naked and jumped into the pond as well.
You Lianruo turned back around.
"You, you, don't need to be this close."
Looking at Lu Bai, who was just an arm's length away, You Lianruo felt a little flustered, having completely forgotten how much closer they had been in Sangyu City.
"Alright!"
Lu Bai moved back a bit and curiously asked, "Can we Cultivate like this?"
You Lianruo didn't give a direct answer.
Instead, she spoke to herself, "When I mention Dual Cultivation, the first thing you probably think of is the intimate acts between men and women, right?"
Lu Bai remained silent, as he couldn't deny it.
"But in reality, that's just one of the simplest methods! The Yu Xiang Sect, being among the Ten Great Holy Sects of the Eastern Region, certainly has more to it than just that."
"Oh?"
"There are many deeper levels. I can only tell you once you and I officially confirm our Dao Companion relationship for Dual Cultivation. Today, as a temporary measure, I will teach you one. You must not leak it."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't leak it."
You Lianruo found his words a bit strange but didn't think much of it. She continued, "This art is called the Water Cultivation Art. When bathing together, by circulating your Cultivation Technique, you can achieve the effect of vital energy flowing through the water."
"I see."
You Lianruo didn't waste time and immediately explained the incantation and key points.
Lu Bai quickly grasped it, his high Comprehension Ability astonishing You Lianruo.
"Then let's begin!"
"Wait."
You Lianruo threw all the Medicinal Pills Lu Bai had given her into the pond, then said, "With the medicinal effects supplemented by Dual Cultivation, my recovery speed will greatly increase."
Subsequently, the two, three meters apart, simultaneously began circulating their Cultivation Techniques.
Soon, mist began to rise from the secluded pond.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bai couldn't help but recall some hot spring movies he had seen in his previous life, which sparked his imagination.
"Focus."
At this moment, You Lianruo's serious voice came from beside him.
Lu Bai quickly composed himself.
After a while longer, he felt a cool Qi seeping into his pores from the water, making him extremely comfortable.
Is this the Yin Qi of the demoness?
My Yang Qi must have also passed over, right? Will she feel hot?
Hmm?
At this moment, Lu Bai suddenly discovered that his vital energy had increased significantly, almost as fast as when he absorbed Spirit Stones using the 'Devour' skill.
Terrifying!
Lu Bai no longer needed prompting; he focused with all his might and fully circulated his Cultivation Technique.
On the other side.
You Lianruo's face was flushed, feeling dizzy from the scorching Qi.
At this time, she recalled what her Master had once said: the effectiveness of Dual Cultivation is not primarily determined by the opponent's Realm, but by the degree of compatibility.
If that's the case, Lu Bai and she are simply a match made in heaven.
No wonder he is the one who can cause a reaction in the Heavenly Profound Charming Bone.
Thump!
Speak of the devil.
You Lianruo suddenly felt her Heavenly Profound Charming Bone tremble violently, with a greater amplitude than previous times.
She was overjoyed.
Could it be caused by the Water Cultivation Art?
With this thought, You Lianruo circulated her Cultivation Technique even more diligently, and the trembling of her Heavenly Profound Charming Bone also intensified.
At a certain moment.
When the Heavenly Profound Charming Bone vibrated to a certain extent, You Lianruo began to feel a slight headache.
However, it was still within the tolerable range.
She ignored it, unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.
But the pain intensified.
Finally, You Lianruo couldn't bear it anymore and clutched her forehead.
The Heavenly Profound Charming Bone was precisely located on her forehead.
"Ugh!"
You Lianruo cried out in pain, and her circulation was interrupted.
Lu Bai, who was nearby, immediately noticed the abnormality. He turned his head and asked, "Are you alright?"
But there was no response.
You Lianruo gritted her teeth, still enduring the torment.
Lu Bai pondered for a moment, then immediately swam over to You Lianruo's side, supporting her shoulders and calling out to her.
"What's wrong? Wake up!"
