"Sexual Cultivation."

    Ao Le nibbled her lips, whispering softly, "Father and my third brother, their cultivation is based on the Immortal Dao Method. My lord, if you wish to learn, Le''er will teach you."

    Feeling the warmth enveloping her palm, Ao Le looked up at Lu Qingfeng with her big watery eyes, waiting for a response.

    "Indeed."

    Lu Qingfeng thought to himself upon hearing this.

    He had suspected it from Ao Lie earlier, and now hearing Ao Le''s words, he knew his guess was correct. However, he wondered what Ao Lie would think if he knew his secretly cherished Immortal Dao Method was being offered up so freely by Ao Le.

    "Father asked me to choose between the paths of ''sex'' and ''life'', there must be a reason. If you teach me the way of the Immortal Dao, it may displease Father."

    Lu Qingfeng held Ao Le''s hand, feeling it as cold as cold jade, and shook his head with a smile.

    "It''s... it''s okay."

    Ao Le''s face panicked, and she hastily shook her head, "Father loves me, even... even if he finds out, he will not blame me."

    Lu Qingfeng looked at Ao Le, staring at her delicate face, which made Ao Le somewhat panicked and shy.

    Despite feeling the urge to lower her gaze and bury her head, she kept looking at Lu Qingfeng.

    Her soft eyes held a trace of determination.

    "Besides Father and my third brother, my lord, you are now the closest person to me. Since you are good to me, I..."

    Ao Le whispered softly.

    Usually a woman of few words, blurting out so much now made her seem timid and disjointed.

    "I understand."

    Lu Qingfeng could feel the goodwill Ao Le was trying to convey and couldn''t help but smile, "I heard from the third brother that the Dragon Clan has a long lifespan, so their cultivation methods are not ''Sexual Cultivation'' nor ''Life Cultivation''; it''s probably this Immortal Dao Method. But I am from the Human Clan, with a short life and limited talents. Cultivating the Immortal Dao might lead to no achievements, and after a hundred years, I would merely become soil, leaving you alone, wouldn''t I?"

    Lu Qingfeng knew that, given Min River Dragon Lord''s guilt towards Ao Le, if Ao Le wanted to teach him the Immortal Dao Method, she just needed to say a word, and the Dragon Lord would definitely not refuse.

    But as Min River Dragon Lord held the Immortal Dao Method in such high regard, granting it only to his children, if he practiced it, he might attract too much attention and lose his freedom in the future.

    It would be better to follow the path of ''Sexual Cultivation''.

    Sexual Cultivation covers.

    The Immortal Dao lies within.

    This way, it could also become an unexpected trump card in the future.

    "I..."

    Hearing these words, Ao Le didn''t know whether she should teach Lu Qingfeng the Immortal Dao Method.

    Lu Qingfeng stood up, not giving her a chance to hesitate, and took Ao Le to the study, saying as they walked, "Cultivation matters most. The third brother said ''Sexual Cultivation'' is tricky, the methods obscure. Before starting cultivation, one must fully understand these scriptures, grasp the essentials, calm the mind, only then can one start to cultivate properly. Don''t think too much, help me thoroughly understand these scriptures early, so I can commence cultivation sooner."

    Talking,

    He entered the study.

    Two huge stacks of scriptures as tall as a person were piled up, Ao Le blinked her eyes and did not bring up the matter of the Immortal Dao Method again.

    Helping Lu Qingfeng, clarifying doubts word by word as they studied the scriptures.

    Time passed.

    Lu Qingfeng was formally introduced to the ''Sexual Cultivation'' system in the Immortal Qin Realm, and during the process of studying the scriptures, his relationship with Ao Le quickly deepened, and their affections grew warmer.

    In a flash,

    Ten years passed.

    …

    Min River Dragon Palace.

    In the Prince Consort Mansion,

    Lu Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged in the cultivation quiet room, cultivating in peace.

    While in the Dragon Palace, under the watchful eyes of the Min River Dragon Lord, he dared not practice the Immortal Dao Method. During these ten years, he focused on researching the ''Sexual Cultivation'' method.

    He first studied the scriptures, understanding the principles of cultivation.

    It was only after that he began to cultivate.

    Min River Dragon Lord did not pass on the Immortal Dao Method to Lu Qingfeng, but he was generous with the method of Sexual Cultivation. On that day in the Luli Pavilion, from several top methods pointed out by Ao Lie, Lu Qingfeng chose one called Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique.

    [Cultivation Technique: Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique]

    [Grade: Refined Level]

    [Description: A secret method passed down by the Yunfu Sect. After the destruction of the Yunfu Sect, it was acquired by the Min River Dragon Lord and stored in the Min River Dragon Palace''s Luli Pavilion. It ranks ninth among 320 Sexual Cultivation marvelous methods in the Dragon Palace, capable of cultivating to the third realm of Sexual Cultivation—Unity Realm. Visualization of the talisman nurtures the spirit, and successful cultivation allows one to draw talismans in the void, summoning the Golden Tiger and White Dragon, with the Great Method Mysterious and infinite might.]

    In the quiet room,

    Underneath Lu Qingfeng was a meditation mat made from Cold Jade, mined from the depths of the North Sea, polished over ten thousand years. Imprinted by a Sexual Cultivation master from Min River Dragon Palace with calming and focusing talismans, it doubled the efficacy of cultivation, its value immeasurable.

    By the side, incense called ''Nourishing Spirit Incense'' was burning. Originally made from twenty-four types of calming spiritual medicines such as Nourishing Spirit Grass and Calming Flower, after being worshipped with incense fire in the temples of Min River Dragon Lord for three hundred years, its marvelous uses increased more than tenfold.

    A stick of Calming Flower Incense, even practitioners in the third realm of Sexual Cultivation, Unity Realm, greatly sought after it.

    By Lu Qingfeng''s side, positioned in a nine-star arrangement, were nine sticks of Calming Flower Incense burning simultaneously. Inside the quiet room, his Life Soul was stable, and external demons did not arise.

    Between his knees,

    There were two large seals, one dragon and one tiger.

    The tiger was the Golden Tiger, and the dragon was the White Dragon, each harboring powerful energies, with layers of talismans both inside and out, obviously two treasures of considerable value.

    [Grade: Sixth Rank]

    [Description: A treasure of Yunfu Sect, consecutively forged through generations using the Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique. When activated according to the method, it can summon the ''Golden Tiger'' to subdue demons and suppress evil. It contains mysteries that can aid in cultivation.]

    …

    [Magic Artifact: White Dragon Seal]

    [Grade: Sixth Rank]

    [Description: A prized treasure of Yunfu Sect, refined generation after generation using the ''Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique''. When activated, it can summon the ''White Dragon'' to subdue demons and vanquish evil. Contains mysterious powers that aid in cultivation.]

    These two Sect Magic Artifacts, were collected from all directions by the Min River Dragon Lord seven years ago, taking a year to acquire, and gifted to Lu Qingfeng to assist his cultivation.

    The path of Sexual Cultivation.

    Concentrate and calm the mind, deeply meditate, and when the Life Soul is strong enough, one can Open Acupoints and separate the soul from the body.

    At this moment, one steps into the first realm of Sexual Cultivation—Opening the Acupoint Realm.

    For those with excellent inherent ability, starting from concentrating and calming the mind, it typically takes three to five months, or as little as several days, to reach the Opening the Acupoint Realm.

    Lu Qingfeng had no prior accumulation.

    He spent three years immersing himself in reading various scriptures, mastering the method of Enlightenment. In three years, he traversed the sexual cultivation scriptures in the Dragon Palace, his initial accumulation far surpassing ordinary cultivators by tens to hundreds of times.

    Then he began his cultivation—

    One day to Open the Acupoint.

    It caused a sensation in the Dragon Palace, and he was personally praised by the Dragon Lord, who called him a ''rare genius once in a thousand years''. A grand banquet was held in celebration, and people were ordered to search for the Golden Tiger Seal and White Dragon Seal as important treasures.

    One year later, both treasures were delivered into Lu Qingfeng''s hands.

    To have the Life Soul open the Acupoint is merely the entrance to Sexual Cultivation.

    It''s called Opening the Acupoint, but in reality, it''s fragile and cannot even perform the simplest Daoist Skill. Sёar?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    One must continue to strengthen the Life Soul.

    To strengthen the Life Soul, there are three methods.

    The first, soul-traveling throughout the starry night, entering the dream of the great thousand.

    It sounds mysterious, but it actually involves taking advantage of the night to covertly enter the dreams of all beings. All living beings have thoughts, and these are most lax during dreams, without much guard. Initially, visit the dreams of plants, fish, and insects, whose thoughts are pure and most stable, selecting and devouring them. Once the Life Soul has grown strong and the temperament refined, one can then enter human dreams.

    Humans harbor complex emotions and desires, resulting in intricate thoughts.

    During sleep, thoughts scatter around the body, and one can select and devour these to strengthen one''s own Life Soul.

    If one progresses step by step, it''s most stable; minor achievements, revealing a few hands of Daoist Skills in front of others, pose no problems.

    But there are also drawbacks.

    First, the progress is slow.

    Second, the temperament is unstable and easily influenced. Losing control and devouring thoughts in disarray can lead to infiltration and corrosion by these thoughts, subtly altering one''s character, which is a common occurrence.

    This is why ordinary practitioners of Sexual Cultivation often have queer and extreme dispositions, causing trouble without being aware of it, ultimately leading to the demise of both body and soul. This is the ill consequence of inheriting nothing substantial and recklessly devouring thoughts.

    The second method, however, is more cruel—devouring souls.

    Devouring souls!

    Especially the souls of the newly deceased.

    The transition between life and death harbors great terror, where emotions and thoughts from just before and after death are most intense and dense, still lingering within the soul.

    Devouring at this time, surpasses consuming three to five months'' worth of dream-induced thoughts, rapidly enhancing the Life Soul and cultivation.

    However.

    One must also endure the emotional impacts much greater than the former method. While the former retains cultivation and temperament, allowing one to control one''s true intentions, the latter''s impact is overwhelming, with an inevitable change in disposition.

    Moreover, this method is evil and cruel; Karma will entangle, and the sin is not small. Though the Heavenly Court will not intervene, there are many heroes and righteous scholars on earth, Taoist priests subduing demons and eliminating evil, and if encountered, only death awaits.

    Such are the demon cultivation practitioners who are denounced by everyone.

    Lu Qingfeng, with the support of the Min River Dragon Palace, naturally does not need to resort to these two methods.

    He takes the orthodox path—

    Nourishing the soul through the law, cultivating in peace.

    Ordinary Sexual Cultivation lacks cultivation methods, merely wishes and wild thoughts.

    Lu Qingfeng is different; he possesses the ''Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique''. If he were in Yunfu Sect, he would receive talismans gifted by a master—either tangible or imprinted in the heart, using this for cultivation, nourishing the Life Soul, and rapidly strengthening it.

    Now that Yunfu Sect is destroyed.

    But within the Min River Dragon Palace, there are experts in cultivating the ''Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique''. Being the Dragon Palace Prince Consort, who wouldn''t show respect? Ao Lie calls, and immediately several masters of the Unity Realm cultivating the ''Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique'' offer talismans refined over many years for Lu Qingfeng''s cultivation.

    Within a year, Lu Qingfeng made rapid progress.

    The Life Soul strengthened, able to perform simple Daoist Skills, and capable of drawing simple talismans. Just discussing his aptitude in Combat rule, he almost caught up with the True Qi Realm of Immortal Dao.

    Even though Lu Qingfeng relies on the Dragon Palace, with various conveniences at hand.

    Yet in just one year, to parallel the True Qi Realm of Immortal Dao, one can see how quickly and divinely fast the achievements in the path of Sexual Cultivation can be.

    Only the physical body remains weak, merely slightly better than an untrained mortal. And the Life Soul is limited, only able to exert maximum combat power under the starry night. Revealing form during the day, first, it is greatly suppressed, the power of Daoist Skills significantly reduced. Second, the scorching sun burns, and the Life Soul can also be injured.

    Only when Opening the Acupoint reaches Perfection, stepping into the Soul Condensation Realm, and condensing the Human Soul, can one reveal form in daylight without fearing the scorching sun.

    One year later.

    Having acquired the Golden Tiger Seal and White Dragon Seal, Lu Qingfeng''s cultivation sped up even more.

    With the two seals suppressing, visualizing the Golden Tiger and White Dragon, the Life Soul travels freely under the starry night, devouring the heavens and earth, with moonlight and starlight falling, the Life Soul swiftly enlarges.

    To this day, the Life Soul is robust, and the opportunity for Soul Condensation has arrived.

    "Manifest!"

    Under the starry night.

    A mass of Life Soul appears in the sky, continuously transforming. Outside, the Golden Tiger roars and the White Dragon meanders, guarding the Life Soul, warding off evil demons.

    The Life Soul keeps transforming.

    Moonlight sprinkles down, starlight descends.

    From within the Life Soul, a faint, indifferent voice emerges—

    "Human Soul, Condense!"
