Hidden Moth-Chapter 561 - 320: Merging Yin and Yang into the Immortal Pot

Chapter 561: Chapter 320: Merging Yin and Yang into the Immortal Pot

Since He Kao had decided to take the pills, he was mentally prepared, but he didn’t expect Wei Luo to truly do it. At this moment, all he could do was cooperate, and keep his mind steady, to only experience and not entertain other thoughts.

In a fixed realm, no other interaction was possible, only maintaining the circulation of divine qi and... well, this was the most direct way to refine the Pure Yang Pill and Peony’s spiritual effects, but it deeply tested one’s willpower.

In fact, the experience cultivators have in a fixed realm doesn’t require male-female contact, yet it is far deeper and more profound than mere physical affairs; the corresponding techniques even remind cultivators not to indulge.

However, on the other hand, the joy that arises naturally in the fixed realm cannot completely substitute for real contact, and today, He Kao experienced both...

The whole process of taking a Pure Yang Pill lasts six hours, that is, twelve hours. The method of taking two Spirit Pills as alternate dominants theoretically takes exactly a day and night.

This final period was completed in an indescribable manner.

When the spiritual effects of the second Pure Yang Pill were finally refined and absorbed, at the moment of leaving the fixed realm, Wei Luo’s entire body trembled suddenly, then her body completely softened and collapsed, eyes closed as if fainted.

But she was not really fainted, just not daring to open her eyes, so she pretended to be unconscious. He simply gently supported her, shifting her into a more comfortable position, and casually cast a small technique similar to the Cleaning Skill.

He Kao did not speak nor asked why Wei Luo did that earlier. After a while, Wei Luo whispered against his chest with her eyes closed, "Back in college, the girls in the dorm used to say I was a monster, impossible to have a man.

Hmph, the truth is, I know very well they haven’t eaten anything good, nor will they ever taste anything good."

He Kao could not help but ask, "Do you mean, am I supposed to be what, good pork?"

Wei Luo replied, "You’re not pork, but Tang Monk’s Flesh, I am a Tier Five Wanderer, able to glimpse a bit of divine secrets, and I could see it. No matter what technique is practiced, I should have eaten and seen it, so it must come from my own thoughts."

At this point, she suddenly sighed, changing her tone, "Actually, they were right, I am indeed a monster; spiritual exchanges are manageable, but interactions in life’s affairs are unworkable.

This is not just my problem; Lingxi Sect’s cultivators have almost always been solitary, more like monks than monks...

These words He Kao could somewhat understand, if Wei Luo were to engage romantically as ordinary people do, the counterpart would surely suffer a lot.

The Lingxi Skill unlike Qi Observation Skill, does not detect relationships between people, nor like the Spirit Awakening Skill, does it perceive and guide one’s emotions, but it can perceive the origin of things and gauge various conditional trends.

Once, He Kao invited Wei Luo for a meal on the food street, Wei Luo could tell where each ingredient was grown, who processed it, and in what manner?

The scent on clothes, the dust on hair, could deduce their experiences, not to mention the lighter in the pocket... these were less significant; more importantly, she could deduce the trend of various things.

People must constantly make various decisions in life, and each decision might be imperfect, so should she need to remind the other—how can it be better?

If a reminder is given, it means always asking the other to alter their decisions; if no reminder is made, it means knowingly watching the other face unfavorable outcomes but just observing coldly.

Even if a hint is given and the other listens, it doesn’t prove she is right because the worse original result just didn’t happen in reality, not to mention the many restrictions on using the Lingxi Skill.

This is not about trust, honesty, or tolerance, but about the lack of a boundary within oneself; interacting with someone akin to a monster, daily life becomes unbearable for anyone...

While contemplating, He Kao suddenly remembered something, and gently patted her: "Wait a moment! My granduncle Xiao Guangnian is also a sorcerer of the Lingxi Sect, but when I first met him, I was told his wife and kids were vacationing in Hainan."

Wei Luo opened her eyes: "Have you ever thought why Master Xiao is over eighty and has a child only in middle school?"

He Kao replied, "His old age vitality?"

Wei Luo was amused, then sighed, "Because he finally resigned himself at nearly seventy, realizing no hope in reaching a higher cultivation realm, letting go mentally... but he still won’t always stay with family for long."

He Kao gently expressed, "Actually, just moments ago, I also commenced the cultivation of the Lingxi Skill."

Wei Luo lifted her head: "Really?"

He Kao replied: "I’m merely dual-cultivating the Lingxi Skill, barely managed to become a Tier One Observer..."

Actually, today He Kao not only commenced the Lingxi Skill’s cultivation; after the first Pure Yang Pill, his Observing Body Skill also broke through to Tier Four Cultivation, now already a ’Physician.’

Throughout the first Pure Yang Pill’s refinement process, whether for himself or Wei Luo, he observed the bone structure and organ composition—changes in vitality and divine qi—remarkably clearly.

Once the casting was complete, He Kao’s Observing Body Skill broke through to Tier Four Cultivation.

Cultivation doesn’t come from nothing; He Kao originally dual-cultivated the Observing Body Skill, warmly guided by Lin Qingshuang, previously already a Tier Three Healer, today merely achieving a breakthrough by chance.

The unique divine technique to be realized after the Observing Body Skill’s Tier Four breakthrough allows one to eliminate negative states within oneself, the Pure Yang Pill’s consumption process has similar effects.

The Observing Body Skill’s breakthrough is explainable, but the Lingxi Skill’s breakthrough seems somewhat inexplicable; that was solely after the second Pure Yang Pill’s spiritual effect was refined.

This process was led by Wei Luo, guiding the circulation of mana and divine qi; He Kao merely responded and cooperated. But after their cultivation session, He Kao’s Lingxi Skill came to fruition.

The seven technique inheritances that He Kao had received all along were dual-cultivated at varying realms, but only two techniques had yet to reach entry level, which were Qi Observation Skill and Lingxi Skill.

The reason Qi Observation Skill hadn’t reached entry level was simple—his energy couldn’t span over, hadn’t yet taken the time for refining it. As for Lingxi Skill, it was another matter; he truly endeavored in cultivating it yet couldn’t find entry.

Today amidst taking the pills, the Lingxi Skill came into entry.

He Kao sighed, "The karma and opportunity in cultivation are just so mysterious and indescribable..."

Frankly speaking, a Tier One Observer within the Lingxi Sect wasn’t too capable. The Lingxi Skill was not only difficult to cultivate but had little utility in low tiers, regardless of any applicable measures were greatly restricted.

In Tier One Cultivation, senses become greatly enhanced, becoming extremely acute, as with all sects’ sorcerers.

But for Tier One Observers, they can further perceive the trend of things’ changes. However, this perception is still shallow, sometimes even struggling to differentiate whether the conclusion originates from experiential judgment or skillful technique.

For example, seeing a seed, a keen ordinary person can also tell its potential to germinate; the observer’s advantage lies in arriving at conclusions more intuitively.

A seed with vitality placed in varying environments, processed differently, the sprouting conditions differ.

The Observer needn’t wait for its sprouting; switching different environments for observation suffices in deriving a broad judgment...actually, the Alchemy Sect has similar means, though the mysteries differ.

To symbolize it imagistically—should an Observer cultivate flowers on a personal balcony, each watering excessively or insufficiently would be immediately apparent, besides determining which flower will bloom in several days and which fruit will ripen...

He Kao’s lingxi skill’s entry-level perceptions are roughly along these lines.

Wei Luo laughed, "Don’t underestimate an Observer’s abilities, notably useful in laboratories, it belongs within the mysticism field..."

Friends who often pursue postgraduate and doctoral studies know the suffering of fabricating data when experimental results fail to align with presupposed directions.

For Observers, they needn’t even wait for the completion of experiments to assess a general trend; they cannot foresee an exact result but having a general assessment suffices.

The suffering at this point transmutes into the quandary on how to convey to the advisor—your guidance direction is off.

While laughing, Wei Luo traced circles with her fingers, "I always knew you’re capable, yet never imagined you’d be this adept!"
