Chapter 2094
Palace Master Chu, what are you doing here?
Chu Qingli was slightly surprised to feel the pressure emanating from Mu Yunxi, who was at the mid-stage of the Profound Realm.
Mu Yunxi only broke through to the Profound Realm this year, and in less than a year, she has already broken through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm. How did she do that?
Could it be that the Prince of Zhennan's mansion gave her some rare and precious treasure?
Upon considering this possibility, Chu Qingli immediately asked, "Was your breakthrough due to the help of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"
Seeing that Chu Qingli guessed it instantly, Mu Yunxi didn't hide anything and said directly, "Yes."
Chu Qingli looked puzzled. Was the Zhennan Prince's Mansion being so kind?
They actually helped Mu Yunxi improve her cultivation level. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is being so kind; perhaps it's because Mu Yunxi sacrificed something.
As for what she sacrificed, without a doubt, Mu Yunxi sacrificed her chastity.
The thought of Mu Yunxi being toyed with by Lu Chen filled Chu Qingli with guilt.
However, at this moment, Mu Yunxi continued, "Master, I have not only broken through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm, but I have also vaguely touched the threshold of the late-stage of the Profound Realm. Perhaps in less than two months, I will be able to break through to the late-stage of the Profound Realm."
"This……"
Chu Qingli could hardly believe what she was hearing.
He had only broken through to the middle stage of the Profound Realm, yet he had already touched the threshold of the late stage of the Profound Realm. How was that possible?
Even if the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion provided Mu Yunxi with enough cultivation resources, she would still need to slowly digest those resources. It was impossible for her to break through to another realm so quickly.
Spirit warriors cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy, which is very harmful to the human body and can erode it.
Even with the aid of rare and precious materials, human cultivation still relies on spiritual energy; this is unavoidable.
Refining spiritual energy requires a certain amount of time.
Although Mu Yunxi has a special constitution and the spiritual energy does not corrode her body as obviously, refining the spiritual energy is still a long process.
Chu Qingli looked at Mu Yunxi seriously and asked, "Yunxi, you haven't practiced some kind of evil technique, have you?"
Mu Yunxi replied, "Master, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a special dual cultivation technique for Earth Realm cultivators. After Lu Chen and I practiced it together, our cultivation level improved rapidly."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Dual cultivation techniques? As far as she knew, there were very few legitimate dual cultivation techniques. Even in Zhongzhou, righteous people rarely practiced dual cultivation techniques.
Spiritual warriors primarily rely on refining spiritual energy for cultivation. Although some spiritual warriors may engage in dual cultivation to harmonize yin and yang, they typically do not use any dual cultivation techniques.
For spiritual martial artists, dual cultivation is just a minor practice, something to be used occasionally. No one would create a dual cultivation technique specifically for it, unless they are evil cultivators who like to absorb yin to replenish yang or yang to replenish yin.
Upon hearing that it was a dual cultivation technique for the Earth Realm, Chu Qingli began to suspect that Lu Chen might be some kind of heretical cultivator.
Mu Yunxi naturally knew what Chu Qingli was thinking, and she continued, "Master, that dual cultivation technique is a bit special. Both parties in the dual cultivation will benefit. It is not a dual cultivation technique that takes from others."
"If it were a dual cultivation technique that involved taking, I would probably be a dried-up corpse by now."
Ever since Mu Yunxi became Lu Chen's woman, she has been constantly bothered by him.
If that dual cultivation technique were truly an evil art, she would have been dead long ago; how could she possibly have broken through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm?
Hearing Mu Yunxi's words, Chu Qingli remained skeptical. She asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me?"
Chu Qingli couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Mu Yunxi had been bribed by the Prince of Zhennan's mansion?
Is it really necessary to deceive myself here? But upon closer reflection, it seems unnecessary.
With a Heavenly Realm expert in charge of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, if Lu Chen really wanted to do something to Tianxuan Palace, he could simply have that Heavenly Realm expert take action; there was no need to lie to her.
In other words, what Mu Yunxi said is very likely true; perhaps Mu Yunxi really did improve her cultivation level while cultivating with Lu Chen.
A dual cultivation technique at the Earth Realm level allowed Mu Yunxi to break through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm in such a short time. If I were to obtain that dual cultivation technique and find someone to cultivate with, would she have a chance to break through to the Heaven Realm?
The dual cultivation techniques for Earth Realm cultivators were originally designed for Earth Realm cultivators, so their use by her would likely yield even more noticeable results.
Thinking of this possibility, Chu Qingli had some ideas about that Earth Realm cultivation technique.
However, it is, after all, a cultivation technique of the Earth Realm, and the effects of dual cultivation are so obvious. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will definitely not easily pass on that Earth Realm technique to outsiders. If she wants to obtain that Earth Realm technique, she will probably have to pay some price.
Seeing Chu Qingli's expression, Mu Yunxi knew that she had fallen for her.
She sighed inwardly, then said, "Master, this is something I've experienced firsthand. I have no reason to lie to you."
Chu Qingli fell silent.
Mu Yunxi really had no reason to lie to herself.
But what price should I pay to get that Earth Realm dual cultivation technique from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?
Wait a minute, it seems I don't necessarily need to exchange it from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
Since Mu Yunxi has already practiced this dual cultivation technique, why doesn't she just ask Mu Yunxi if she wants it?
Thinking of this, Chu Qingli stared intently at Mu Yunxi, her eyes burning with passion.
Seeing Chu Qingli's expression, Mu Yunxi guessed what she wanted to do. Sure enough, Chu Qingli spoke up the next moment, "Yunxi, could you teach me this dual cultivation technique?"
Mu Yunxi said, "Master, this Earth Realm cultivation technique was taught to me by Lu Chen. If I were to teach it to someone else without his permission, I'm afraid it would displease him."
Chu Qingli thought about it for a moment, and indeed, the techniques should not be passed on lightly, let alone such a heaven-defying dual cultivation technique.
Dual cultivation techniques are already very rare, and dual cultivation techniques that can improve the cultivation of two people with only benefits and no drawbacks are even rarer.
This is also a resource for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. If Mu Yunxi were to give it to them like this, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion found out, they might very well cause them trouble.
It seems she'll have to ask Lu Chen for it herself, but she doesn't know what conditions Lu Chen will propose.
Chu Qingli didn't think much of it and said directly to Mu Yunxi, "I would like to see Lu Chen. I wonder if he has time these next few days?"
Upon hearing Chu Qingli's question, Mu Yunxi's face revealed a strange expression. If there was anyone in the entire Zhennan Prince's Mansion who was the most idle, it would undoubtedly be Lu Chen.
As far as she knew, Lu Chen did almost nothing but indulge in pleasure with his women in the mansion every day.
Just as Mu Yunxi was about to say something, the voice of a female disciple from Tianxuan Palace suddenly came from the doorway: "Young Master Lu has arrived."
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi sighed slightly, wondering if Lu Chen came today because he heard that her master had come to see her, or if this guy was going to argue with her again.
The next moment, the door opened, and Lu Chen, dressed in a white robe with gold trim, stepped into the room. Seeing Chu Qingli inside, he showed a hint of surprise: "Eh, Palace Master Chu, what are you doing here?" (End of Chapter)
