Chapter 987: Chapter 987 Dual Cultivation

    Xian Yin’s movement technique was incredibly fast, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Steps were top-tier movement Divine Skills, and the Red Luan Silk-Grasping Hand was also top-tier Divine Skills.

    She cultivated the Burning Moon Immortal Scripture, something these people couldn’t compare to at all. In terms of Cultivation Technique or Divine Skills, even the major sects on the Central State couldn’t measure up.

    “Bang bang bang”

    Four palm prints struck the person, light blossomed from his body, and a low-grade protective garment emitted a glow, shielding his whole body.

    This was a protective garment his family had treasured for hundreds of years, given to him for the competition, hoping he would achieve a good ranking.

    But the protective garment shattered in less than three seconds.

    “Pfft”

    The person spat out blood and their figure was thrown off the stage.

    The crowd widened their eyes in disbelief, an Early Stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator managed to knock away a Late Stage Grandmaster Realm expert, what on earth was happening today? How could an Early Stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator be this overwhelmingly powerful?

    The previous one could be excused, after all, he grasped Sword Intent, making his attack power incredibly terrifying, but this one hadn’t grasped anything, how could he be so terrifying?

    There was only one explanation, this person’s Cultivation Technique and Divine Skills far surpassed others, otherwise he wouldn’t be so formidable.

    Xian Yin flew back from the stage and landed beside Qin Hao, many eyes were drawn to them, seeing Xian Yin standing affectionately next to Qin Hao, revealing envy and jealousy in their eyes.

    A beauty as such forming a lifelong partnership would be a great happiness indeed.

    It seemed this beauty had someone in her heart, a beauty paired with a hero, no one could say it was inappropriate.

    The competition that day ended at six in the evening, nearly half the people were eliminated, only five from Yuxing County advanced to the next round: Qin Hao, Xian Yin, Gao Linglong, Dong Mengqi, and Fan Zhenzhe, while the others were sadly eliminated.

    In the evening, after returning to their accommodation and having dinner, Xian Yin smiled and said to Qin Hao, “My lord, the moonlight is nice tonight, why don’t we go upstairs and admire the moon? Xian Yin will play a tune for you.”

    Qin Hao nodded slightly: “Sure, I’ll trouble you then, Xian Yin.”

    “You are too kind, my lord.”

    Ling’er laughed knowingly and said, “Master, I will go cultivate, you and Sister Xian Yin can take your time appreciating the moon.”

    Xian Yin’s face flushed slightly upon hearing her words, thinking this girl was truly clever, understanding so much at such a young age.

    Qin Hao shook his head with a wry smile, “Then make sure to cultivate well. After the dynasty’s competition is over, I’ll take you to see the vast and boundless Southern Continent.”

    “Yes, Master.” Ling’er’s eyes showed a glimmer of anticipation.

    Qin Hao and Xian Yin went to the second-floor terrace of the pavilion, from there they could clearly see the bright, perfectly round moon in the night sky, like a jade disc.

    Both of them looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and a homesickness welled up in Qin Hao’s heart.

    Xian Yin slowly sat down, first setting up a soundproof barrier, then laying the guqin across her lap, her slender fingers plucking the strings, a melody resonated, touching the heart.

    She played that piece “The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix”, a tune about matters between couples!

    A few minutes later, after finishing the piece, Xian Yin looked up at Qin Hao’s figure, who stood there unmoving, lost in thought.

    Xian Yin observed his back, her beautiful eyes continuously shifting in emotion.

    Qin Hao had already made his mark in the dynasty, and would surely attend the competition at the Southern Continent Heaven and Earth Academy, where more young talents and beautiful ladies would gather.

    Although Xian Yin was confident in her appearance, she had little confidence when she reached the central region of the Southern Continent.

    Ling’er had told her in the past few days that if she didn’t seize the opportunity, once in a broader world, many would pursue the master, and if Sister Xian Yin liked the master, she should seize the opportunity early.

    Currently, many beauties already surrounded Qin Hao, including Gao Linglong, the Commandery Prince’s daughter, the National Duke’s granddaughter, having eminent status, and most importantly, beauty and figure that didn’t lose to anyone. Apart from knowing Qin Hao earlier, she had no advantage.

    If delayed any longer, with Qin Hao’s extraordinary talent, he might attract even more beauties in the future, making her chances even slimmer.

    A myriad of thoughts flashed through Xian Yin’s mind, and finally, a look of determination appeared in her eyes.

    She decided to let go of the last shred of restraint and fight for her own happiness.

    Xian Yin put away the guqin, stood up, and slowly walked to Qin Hao’s back, extending her arms to embrace him from behind.

    Qin Hao reacted, his body stiffened, and he sighed, “Xian Yin, why must you do this.”

    He wasn’t foolish; he had long understood Xian Yin’s feelings towards him.

    Xian Yin said, “I know you have a partner, but I don’t care; I only wish to remain by your side for a lifetime, and I’ll do my best to let your partner accept me.”

    Qin Hao: “They are not in this world.”

    Xian Yin was taken aback, not in this world? What did that mean?

    She didn’t ask further and said, “For the rest of my life, I wish to accompany my lord.”

    Qin Hao turned around to look at her, and Xian Yin also looked up at him, her flawless face full of seriousness.

    Just then, Xian Yin suddenly stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Hao.

    Xian Yin had a peerless visage, although her figure wasn’t extremely voluptuous, her aura was ethereal, making her an absolute beauty. Had she belonged to a prominent family, she would definitely be a fairy or goddess among countless cultivators.

    A few minutes later, the two separated, Xian Yin’s face was bright red.

    She nestled her head into Qin Hao’s chest and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, “My lord... Xian Yin is ready.”

    Qin Hao took a deep breath, picked her up and carried her into her room, setting her on the bed before arranging a soundproof barrier.

    “My lord, remember to operate your Cultivation Technique, the first time balancing yin and yang greatly aids in enhancing power.”

    When a male and female cultivator became partners, during such activities, operating their Cultivation Techniques to balance yin and yang increased their power, which was commonly referred to across the continent as Dual Cultivation, providing significant benefits to cultivation.

    Their Cultivation Techniques operated, with massive yin and yang essences entering both sides’ meridians.
