Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 635  Variation?

They did not have much to do on the island anymore, and Wu Long wanted to erase the two remaining remnants of Gu Zhen's Transcendent allies, who were under Old Yen's surveillance, as early as possible, before they had the chance to cause any problems.

Thus they retreated to the ship and set sail further North, setting course for the Northernmost land, the Cloud Piercing Continent.

And since they had some time now before they reached their destination, they could concentrate on dealing with everything they postponed to do since he woke up.

First was the matter with the Grandmist Keepsake.

Wu Long helped Yu Huan direct the force of the blessing toward her Yin Root itself.

It was not hard to do, she just had to start cultivating her Yin Root's attributes, and the blessing would be drawn to wherever a change happened.

The version of improved Body Tempering physique that he made for his ladies was just perfect for the job, it just required a catalyst, which they also had.

After all, Yu Huan was not able to cultivate medicine made of Violet Retribution Hydrangeas before due to her volatile state of mind, and thus was the only one whose portion was still left.

Thus Wu Long's help was in ingesting the pills and sending their medicinal energy to her, as well as looking out for any trouble due to the transformations that the blessing brought on.

Unlike when he was concentrated on the process of reconstructing the core, he was able to see the cluster of mysterious mass in action, as it seeped into the core of Yu Huan's Yin Root, and produced a wondrous and profound reaction. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After she was done refining all of the medicinal energy, she still had a small amount of blessing left, but a transformation was already happening within her Yin Root.

"This is...", as she examined the changes, her eyebrows went up, and then she opened her eyes looking at Wu Long who sat in front of her.

"Nothing changed?", she asked, as it seemed to her that everything was normal.

"Haha, it feels very natural doesn't it? That was my feeling regarding the nature of my Core at first as well", Wu Long chuckled, as it was expected she did not notice anything different, "Though I must admit, your Yin Root itself did not go through much of a change. What changed is the nature of your Yin Qi"

"My Yin Qi...? Is it something like Sister Ziyan or Sister Luxiao's variant Yin Qi?", she was first surprised, but then a hopeful expression appeared on her face, as she looked at him, since their variations were not only helpful to them, but beneficial to Wu Long as well.

The fast accumulation of potent Yin Qi by Sui Luxiao gave her the ability to always give him more to cultivate with, and he always saved Hua Ziyan's tenacious Yin Qi for breakthroughs as its nature was incredibly useful in those moments for him.

"Mm, I cannot say for sure what that change is until we cultivate, but it is a type of Yin Qi that I have never witnessed. The absence of other changes usually classifies this as a variation", he nodded, confirming her guess as a happy smile bloomed on her face and she leaped forward into his arms.

"Hahaha, though not only is that good news for me, it can be helpful to you as well. Did you notice that Ziyan's variant physique affects her Spiritual Qi and fighting while Luxiao's doesn't?", he chuckled as he held her in his arms, turning to look down as she cutely raised her face to look into his eyes with surprise.

"Mm, I was just assuming that was because Sister Ziyan is a pure Dual Cultivator", she nodded and a proud smile appeared on his face.

"Absolutely correct, Huan'er. Luxiao benefits from her variant Yin Qi indirectly, as her cultivation method uses the Yin Root as part of circulation, thus allowing her to grow her Spiritual Qi's reserves faster than a normal cultivator using that technique.

Meanwhile, Ziyan's cultivation is directly tied to her Yin Root, just like mine is tied to my Yang Root, and thus her Spiritual Qi bears the characteristics of her Yin Qi, and mine bears those of my Yang Qi.

This is what causes the resonance of power between Dual Cultivators when they fight together. But Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art basically allows that process to happen without being in close proximity or using the same type of techniques to fight"

Wu Long sat the beauty on his lap, his arms still wrapped around her as she comfortably leaned to him.

"But the difference does not stop there, The standard fighting procedure for Dual Cultivators is to mix a small amount of their Harmonic Qi into their Spiritual Qi within the techniques, that allows the techniques themselves to resonate and produce greater output.

With Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art, that step can be omitted, because it happens with or without mixing in one's Harmonic Qi.

But as someone who was used to doing it from the very beginning of her cultivation journey, Ziyan continues doing so, which gives the Spiritual Qi in her fists that additional quality of her Yin Qi"

"Wouldn't Sister Luxiao benefit from doing that as well then? Not to mention, Sister Min, Sister Mingyu and Sister Bing...", Yu Huan raised her eyebrows.

"Hahaha, not exactly, we have experimented with that, but Luxiao's variation is in the Yin Root itself, and her Yin Qi on its own is, while being potent, not any different. As for Extreme Yin Physiques, that special quality of their Yin Qi is very limited in the Nine Mortal Realms. Thus for now, their physiques only make their Yin Qi very powerful for Dual Cultivation, and not much else. Although that will be different in the future.

Meanwhile Ziyan's variation is in the nature of the Yin Qi she produces, and not in the root, much like you", he answered with a light laugh as her confusion of why they did not use this knowledge before was very relatable.

As he said the last line, Yu Huan instantly understood what he meant by saying all of this.

"You mean to say that if I use my new variant Yin Qi and incorporate it into flame control or refining of alchemy pills...", her eyes widened and the lit with fire of curiosity and wonder.

"Hahahaha, exactly. You could gain yet unknown benefits from that in Alchemy. Though of course, we should first confirm the nature of your Yin Qi to be on the safe side", he made a delighted laugh as he saw that expression for the first time in a while.

It signified that she truly has conquered her worries and self-blame, and returned to being the slightly innocent and purehearted in relationships, as well as passionately curious and boldly adventurous alchemist he knew. This fact alone caused him to feel happy.

Hehe ^^
