Dual Cultivation-Chapter 1142: Preparing for the Eternal Yin Yang Caves
After Disciple Ouyang left, Su Yang returned to his own business and continued preparing for the upcoming Eternal Yin Yang Caves.
Lin Xinyi woke up from her slumber a few hours later and turned to look at Su Yang, who was quietly cultivating beside her.
Without even opening his eyes, Su Yang spoke, "Good morning."
"Good morning…" Lin Xinyi mumbled as she sat up on the bed, her lower body still sore from their previous cultivation session.
"This may sound sudden, but how would you like to cultivate with me in the Eternal Yin Yang Caves?" Su Yang said.
"Huh?"
Lin Xinyi's eyes widened, but her face looked doubtful, almost as if she couldn't believe what she'd just heard.
"I-I think I misheard you just now… Can you repeat it?" she asked.
"The Eternal Yin Yang Caves. I'd like you to enter it with me," he said.
'I didn't hear wrong!' she cried inwardly.
"B-But isn't that something only the Sect Elders are allowed to participate in…? I'm just an Outer Court disciple," she said.
"I got permission from the Sect Leader. It's my reward for defeating Mystic Delight Pavilion. Although she didn't mention anything about bringing a partner, it'd be more beneficial for me to have a partner to speed up the process. I'm sure she wouldn't mind, either, but I'll ask her later just in case."
While Su Yang could cultivate in the Eternal Yin Yang Caves alone, it had the name 'Yin Yang' for a reason.
"But why me…? I'm just an Outer Court disciple. My cultivation is also lacking. I don't qualify. Wouldn't it benefit you more to go with a Core Disciple instead?" Lin Xinyi asked.
Su Yang smiled and said, "So what? You're my partner. That's the only qualification you need. And while it may benefit my cultivation if I go with a Core Disciple, the benefits aren't as vast as you think."
"Xiao Yang…" Lin Xinyin was speechless, but she looked at him with adoring eyes.
"Then it's decided. I'll speak with the Sect Leader later. For now, prepare for the caves."
"Okay," she nodded.
A few days later, somewhere in the Inner Court, a handsome man just finished his cultivation session with a female disciple.
"I heard an interesting rumor when I arrived. Is it true that there's a disciple here who can use Sword Will?" asked the handsome man, who was not a disciple but a guest.
It was common for cultivators from outside to visit dual cultivation sects. In fact, disciples spend most of their time outside to make connections just for this purpose.
"Oh, you mean Disciple Xiao? Yeah, he can use Sword Will… probably. We can't really confirm it since nobody else in the sect can use it," said the female disciple who was there to witness the deathmatch.
"Can you describe what you felt and saw?" the man continued.
The female disciple nodded and recalled everything she saw and sensed during the deathmatch.
"I see… how intriguing…"
"You're from the Limitless Sword Sect, right? Is that why you're interested?"
The handsome man smiled and said, "Of course. Our sect is always looking to recruit talented people, especially those talented with the sword. If this Disciple Xiao is truly that talented and can use Sword Will, I'd love to talk to him."
"Honestly, it would be for the best if the Limitless Sword Sect took him in. He's too much for us. His arrogance knows no bounds," sighed the female disciple.
"Arrogance, huh? I think I like him even more now. The most important trait in being a great swordmaster is having confidence, or what some call arrogance."
"If you're serious about recruiting him, you should speak with an elder."
"I'll do that right after this."
Shortly after the handsome man left the disciple's living quarters, he went straight to speak with a sect elder.
"You want to speak with Disciple Xiao? Why do you want to speak with him?"
"I heard about his talents with Sword Will and wanted to confirm it myself."
The sect elder shook his head and said, "I wouldn't get involved with him if I were you. He'd only bring nothing but trouble. As for him being able to use Sword Will… I still cannot believe it. I mean, he's a dual cultivator. How can someone like that know Sword Will? It's simply too outrageous."
"Perhaps it's all a misunderstanding, but I won't know until I speak with him. Where can I find him?"
"You can find him at the Outcast Peak."
"I understand. Thank you." ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Meanwhile, numerous sect elders began to gather outside the Eternal Yin Yang Caves, following the Sect Leader's announcement of its early opening.
"Why do you think the Sect Leader decided to open the Eternal Yin Yang Caves early this year?"
"Who knows? Maybe the caves recovered their resources faster this time."
At the Outcast Peak, Su Yang and Lin Xinyi had just left their house and prepared to head to the Eternal Yin Yang Caves.
"W-Wait!"
Just as they prepared to fly away, a handsome man rushed over to stop them.
"Are you Disciple Xiao?"
Su Yang didn't immediately respond and looked at the man's outfit.
"You must be from the Limitless Sword Sect. How can I help you?" Su Yang could recognize their outfit at a glance from miles away due to how much he had dealt with them in the past.
"Oh? To recognize my outfit so quickly, you must be interested in swords, too. I heard that you could use Sword Will and came here to see whether it was true or not."
Su Yang smiled and said, "So what will you do once you confirm that I can use Sword Will? Are you going to try to recruit me? Even though I am already a disciple of the Boundless Yin Yang Sect?"
The handsome man was quite surprised by Su Yang's guess. It was almost as if he could read minds.
"You seem to know a lot about our Limitless Sword Sect. Did you research us in hopes of joining us?" the man had to ask.
