Chapter 119: Let’s Sleep Together

“It’s getting late, and it’s time to sleep. Get on the bed,” Shangguan Yun said, patting the mattress.

Those in the Qi Refining stage still needed sleep, though they slept for a shorter time than mortals — about four or five hours was enough.

There was only one bed, which meant dual cultivation partners had to sleep together. Although they had already bathed together, Mu Yanxi still felt a bit of resistance toward sleeping in the same bed.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Yun had already begun undressing on her own.

She hadn’t put her qipao back on after the bath, opting for a loose bathrobe instead. As she took it off, her seductive, jade-like body was revealed.

“Wait! Why are you undressing?” Mu Yanxi asked in surprise.

“Don’t people undress for sleep?” Shangguan Yun asked back curiously, as if sleeping naked was the natural order of things.

“Uh, well, yes, but shouldn’t you wear a nightgown?” Mu Yanxi continued to ask.

“I don’t wear those. We practice a dual cultivation technique, and sleep is the best time for double cultivation. How can we do it with clothes on?” Shangguan Yun said matter-of-factly.

Mu Yanxi clutched her head. It seemed that was truly the case.

Although the Fake Phoenix Art allowed for double cultivation without penetration, it still required complete, skin-to-skin contact so that mana could pass between them.

Any clothing would interfere with the efficiency of the double cultivation, leading to impure mana.

That was why Shangguan Yun had taken Mu Yanxi to the bathroom earlier to guide her through double cultivation.

Furthermore, when she watched the recording of the Fake Phoenix Art in the Heavenly Tome Library, the two female immortals demonstrating it hadn’t been wearing clothes either.

“Maybe I should just meditate over there instead,” Mu Yanxi suggested. Cultivators could sleep while meditating, so they didn’t need to lie in bed, and they could even cultivate at the same time.

“Stop talking nonsense and get over here.” Shangguan Yun reached out her hand, and a layer of mist enveloped Mu Yanxi, pulling her directly onto the bed. She was completely unable to resist.

Then, with an incredibly practiced and miraculous technique, Shangguan Yun stripped her naked in an instant, and her clothes flew into the wardrobe. Mu Yanxi hadn’t even had time to process it.

“Ah!” By the time she reacted, she was already lying on her side. Shangguan Yun embraced her from behind and said, “Don’t look back. I’ll demonstrate the effects of the Lingyue Art for you.”

The Lingyue Art was the primary cultivation method of the Spiritual Moon Palace, while the Fake Phoenix Art was merely a supplementary one.

Moreover, the Fake Phoenix Art was an open-source technique, but the Lingyue Art was not. It wasn’t even for sale; only disciples of the Spiritual Moon Palace and its affiliated schools could practice it.

Shangguan Yun’s slender, jade-like hand pressed against Mu Yanxi’s Elixir Field. The Elixir Field’s Qi Sea was the most important location for a Cultivator.

Ordinarily, one would never let another person touch it so easily, but since Mu Yanxi was currently powerless to resist Shangguan Yun, she could only accept it silently.

Then she felt something miraculous. Shangguan Yun’s spirit sense was guiding the movement of her mana. How could someone else’s spirit sense control her own mana?

Under Shangguan Yun’s guidance, the spiritual energy gushing from Mu Yanxi’s Life Spring began to circulate through her Meridians.

After completing one heaven cycle, it automatically transformed into mana and flowed into the Elixir Field’s Qi Sea. With every completed heaven cycle, her mana grew significantly deeper.

‘Is this the effect of the Lingyue Art? Someone else can help circulate and breathe mana for me? If that’s the case, I don’t need to cultivate at all.’

‘I just need a girl who practices the Lingyue Art to lean against my back, and she can help me cultivate all the time!’

However, this was also extremely dangerous.

Handing control of one’s mana to someone else meant that if the other person had malicious intent, they only needed to cause the true qi to stray slightly, and it would lead to a cultivation deviation and death!
