CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 436: THE DUAL CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE

"Then take me." Chu Miao wasn’t shy about what she wanted.

Since she was also struggling to control herself, she decided to just feed her craving.

Ye Xuan suddenly stiffened. He hadn’t expected his girlfriend to be so open-minded, but he wasn’t about to complain.

Soon, the two had their pants off with Chu Miao still pressed against the tree and Ye Xuan thrusting into her core like his life depended on it.

Both of them found it funny how it was their second time having sex and they were doing it in the forest in the middle of nowhere.

When they were done, they tidied up their clothes and continued to walk around the forest to investigate as if nothing had happened.

However, both of them had questions in their minds.

They weren’t lustful people and certainly wouldn’t go around romping like rabbits without a reason. So, why had they lost control so much that they couldn’t hold themselves back?

No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn’t find the reason why.

It was however clear that having sex the previous night had changed something in their bodies. They just didn’t know it yet.

Actually, when the two of them had been unable to control themselves the night before and Chu Miao ended up losing her virginity, they had unconsciously used the dual cultivation technique that Chu Miao found in the cave that used to belong to her ancestor, Chu Batian.

Unlike other dual cultivation techniques that had been modified and appeared in the later years, the one in that cave was an ancient and complete one.

Moreover, it was different because it didn’t suck one party’s cultivation dry to boost the other.

Instead, it helped both parties to improve their cultivation steadily with every session they engage in sex.

While they are doing it, spiritual energy would constantly enter their bodies through their pores like water.

However, this cultivation technique had its own benefits and drawbacks.

It can only be used when both parties are pure and had never engaged in sex before.

Also, the parties involved must have true feelings for each other, otherwise, even if they consciously practice it, it wouldn’t work.

This was done by the developer of the cultivation technique to prevent people with ulterior motives from using innocent and unsuspecting individuals as cultivation furnaces to improve their own strength.

Another requirement for this cultivation technique was that it must be used the first time the pure couple engaged in intimacy, otherwise, even if it was used later, it wouldn’t work.

In this case, Ye Xuan and Chu Miao had been lucky because they had taken time to study the cultivation technique and had thought of using it when their relationship improved and they became intimate.

They had not expected this decision to be engraved in their subconscious mind and they would just use the cultivation technique without thinking the first time they engaged in intercourse.

This cultivation technique also had another characteristic, which is that the people who used it would become closer both emotionally and spiritually.

Their feelings for each other would become stronger day-by-day, especially when they continue to get intimate.

It would also ensure that no matter what happens in the future, they could never betray each other.

The only drawback in this cultivation technique was its tendency to ignite fire that could not be put out easily.

The people who practice this technique would have a serious craving and longing for each other and the only way to quell it was to have sex.

This was the situation that Chu Miao and Ye Xuan had experienced in the forest.

The situation does not get better as the need for the two to be together and engage in intimacy would only grow stronger.

However, this would also help them to cultivate their minds and self-control. If their mental strength grows and their ability to control themselves also increases to a certain level, they would be able to control their urges and not necessarily need to have sex to suppress their need for each other.

This growth in mental strength and self-control would also help them in the advancement of their cultivation.

Their future breakthroughs would be smoother and cultivation speed would increase.

Thus, even though this cultivation technique has some questionable traits, it is beneficial in the big scheme of things and Chu Miao and Ye Xuan had been lucky that their subconscious minds had activated this technique without knowing.

"The trees and even weeds in this forest look more lush than before. Even though I have never been here before, it is obvious just by looking at the plants here that they are different from the plants seen anywhere before." Chu Miao commented after they had walked around for some time.

"Mmm...they look different from the regular plants found in this world." Ye Xuan looked around while still holding his girlfriend’s hand and replied.

He didn’t know why but he felt happy just being with Chu Miao.

Even when they were doing nothing, his heart was filled with a kind of ethereal feeling.

It felt as if after wandering around for a long time, his heart had finally found a home and settled.

Holding that small hand and feeling the warmth that came from it made him feel a sense of satisfaction that he never got from anything else, not even when he got medals for serving his country or when he signed contracts worth hundreds of millions before.

He didn’t want this kind of feeling to disappear and he felt as if holding the hand of the woman next to him for a lifetime was the best decision he could make.

If Chu Miao found out that the person she was talking to was thinking about such nonsense, it was not known what she would do.

As they were about to turn back to the road, they felt a weird kind of feeling as if they were being watched.

This didn’t make any sense since they kept sweeping their divine sense around them and had not found anything.

After looking for a while and not seeing anything, they two decided to go back to join the rest of the group.

When they arrived, they found the others already eating and more meat still sitting on the barbecue rack for roasting.

Li Kun put out a table and two chairs for the two lovers before serving them with a large plate of barbecue meat and vegetables.

The meat had been seasoned well and was tender even though they hadn’t had the time to marinate it.

It tasted good and was also filled with spiritual energy. With every swallow, one could feel a warmth that spread throughout the body before settling in the dantian.

Even though it was almost negligible, there was still some gain of spiritual energy.

Chu Miao didn’t like the greasy feeling of eating barbecue pork very much even though she thought it was delicious.

Thus, she brought out a container filled with tea leaves that had been grown in the Soul Ring.

The taste of the tea when brewed well was delicate and slightly sweet. The fragrance alone could open pores and make one feel refreshed.

After drinking it, any stomach discomfort will be smoothed and it also contains a significant amount of spiritual energy.

One cup was enough to restore spiritual energy by thirty percent if one’s spiritual power was exhausted.

This kind of tea wasn’t seen even in ancient times and Chu Miao had found it in the forest within the soul ring by accident when her entire family and Ye Xuan went to the cave to cultivate in the spiritual pool.

"Did you guys find anything in the forest?" Lei Ying asked curiously after everyone was done eating and they were resting for a bit before they set off again.

"No, there wasn’t anything in the forest. Except for the plants looking more lush, which is normal with the amount of spiritual energy present in the air, there wasn’t anything else." Chu Miao replied before taking a sip of her spiritual tea.

"That doesn’t make sense, with a forest like this, there should at least be animals even if there aren’t zombies. Why would there be nothing but plants?" Murong Yi asked with a doubtful expression.

It was at that moment that Chu Miao realized why she had felt that something was out of place when they were in the forest but couldn’t put her finger on it.

Murong Yi was right. How could a forest lack animals? They had walked pretty far into the forest but didn’t come across anything. Why was that?

Everyone looked at each other when they heard that. A forest that didn’t have a single animal didn’t sound good.

Ye Xuan didn’t wait for anyone to provide an answer before he got up and stored his chair together with the table he was sharing with Chu Miao in his space ring.

"Everyone pack up and move out." He said with a serious expression, his voice filled with authority.

The others didn’t ask questions and like the soldiers they were, everyone had packed the tables, chairs, dishes, and barbecue stands within two minutes, then headed to their respective cars.
