Mu Dan giggled and turned to leave, already having a rough idea that Wang Jixuan's dual cultivation this time wasn't with Lingtong.

This put her at ease.

If it were otherwise, knowing the boss had a wandering eye, she'd have added some sexier elements to her maid outfit.

...

Wang Jixuan, Gao Huating, and Amina soon began their retreat in the same room.

Wang Jixuan wasn't in a rush to start serious dual cultivation; he first researched with Amina on how to help Gao Huating improve her strength.

Under the intentional protection of the Ancient Remnant Spirit He Ruli, Gao Huating was now akin to a rough jade in cultivation.

She had no Spiritual Energy Circuit or Core Circuit within her, which wouldn't interfere with her cultivation state;

Her body had been nourished by Spiritual Energy for a long time, making the first two steps of cultivation come naturally;

Even her unique trait of singing that brings peace of mind was an extraordinary ability that could develop into her own divine skills as her cultivation deepened.

Innate divine ability born with her soul, a power even Wang Jixuan envied.

Gao Huating herself was already quite calm.

Having weathered many storms, Wang Jixuan's guidance in her cultivation no longer excited her; rather, it made her feel a bit disappointed.

After all, they would henceforth address each other as mentor and disciple.

Master Wang first instructed Gao Huating on how to meditate, teaching her the basics such as acupoints, meridians, Dantian, Qi Sea, and guided her through a systematic cultivation path.

"Qingping Technique" is a cultivation technique that Wang Jixuan cannot casually pass on.

This was the last bit of respect the Daoist had for his sect.

Wang Jixuan found a Five Elements Wood Attribute cultivation technique in his own scripture library, which matched Gao Huating's natural talents.

This technique was called "Evergreen," once the core cultivation method of a prestigious Immortal Sect's Sect Leader's direct lineage.

Later, that Immortal Sect was destroyed, and for some reason, the technique circulated to Wangxian Valley. Due to its cross-verification with the Qingping Technique, it was categorized as one of the scriptures only for 'Golden Core Realm Late Stage Inheritor Disciples' to comprehend.

Gao Huating's cultivation talent was naturally not low.

In just over an hour or so, she had entered the cultivation realm, hearing the rustling of the wind through the forest in her ears.

The Spiritual Energy in the air seemed to have developed spirituality, laughing and rushing toward Gao Huating with joy.

This was Gao Huating's first earnest cultivation with a proper technique, yet a faint glow surrounded her.

Wang Jixuan sharply noticed that the Spiritual Energy concentration in the entire hall area was slowly rising.

Behind this was undoubtedly He Ruli's aid.

The Daoist's mouth twitched slightly.

What a Great Pioneer... after all, he was still an outsider.

However, the Daoist was also cautious.

"Evergreen" once being the core technique of an Immortal Sect, it naturally had a characteristic—inner and outer parts, superior and inferior sections.

The disciples of an Immortal Sect often had hierarchies, with different levels corresponding to different cultivation techniques, advancing step by step.

The cultivation technique Wang Jixuan provided was only the first three layers, allowing Xiao Hua to cultivate to the Jiedan Realm.

This wasn't to guard against Xiao Hua;

He was simply being cautious of He Ruli, the former opposition, rebel army.

Once Gao Huating entered deep meditation, Wang Jixuan signaled Amina to prepare.

Amina obediently changed into a beautiful mermaid skirt, her graceful figure always somewhat distracting to the Daoist. Her simple makeup and those eyes that seemed to conceal the entire night sky exuded a charm enough to settle the years.

She was like a goddess born in the night sky.

Master Wang quickly sobered up, proposing, "Why don't you transform into your smaller form? That way... hmm, it might be more relaxing during cultivation."

"Hmm?" Amina wore a faint smile on her lips, intentionally saying, "I am not bound by human ethics and morals."

"I just don't want to let Lingtong down, in a hundred years, in a hundred years."

"Is this the grand promise you're making?"

"We'll talk about it in a hundred years," corrected Master Wang in his rhetoric.

Amina chuckled lightly, saying softly, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll cancel the Spiritual Energy Circuit that amplifies my charm."

As she spoke, her allure slightly decreased.

Master Wang didn't get too distracted anymore.

Mainly, he truly couldn't live as long as these spirit cultivators.

This thing, if not settled for worldly attachments when ascending, could have a slight impact with a small probability.

Ascension...

Wang Jixuan suddenly felt despondent when he thought of those words, as if his dreams were crumbling into emptiness.

Amina seemed to notice his sudden drop in mood and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you need me to keep the related Spiritual Energy Circuit open?"

"No need, I'm just a bit frustrated. The hope of ascension seems distant, and I'm not sure why I'm still holding on. Ultimately, I will either die in a Heavenly Tribulation or ascend to the Immortal Realm; there is no third option."

Wang Jixuan sighed gently and began today's topic.

"Let me guide you through the spiritual energy circulation. I have experienced this in the Stone of the Past and learned how to help the Yina people with it. I estimate you are quite similar."

Amina nodded gently.

Suddenly, she said, "If it becomes impossible... take away eighty percent of my power."

Wang Jixuan was taken aback.

Amina closed her eyes and sighed, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"My father is Hei Yao. Although I don't want to admit it, he arranged for us gene bearers to become spiritual cultivators across different fringe forces, surely with some scheme in mind.

"Rather than becoming a part of his plan, I might as well help you resolve these issues and protect the civilization that can still be protected.

"My power can be restored over time, but it might take a thousand years, as I've thoroughly verified."

Wang Jixuan's gaze flickered slightly.

Instead, the desire in his heart faded away.

"Amina?" Wang Jixuan called out.

"Hmm?" Amina opened her eyes.

Master Wang smiled and said:

"If I take your power, I'll completely lose the chance to step into the Immortal Realm. Every shortcut comes with a price.

"However, when my strength surpasses yours later on, I will help you break through your limits.

"Alright, don't overthink it. I need your power for harmonization, which will also benefit you. Let's start with healing you.

"If later, we truly face annihilation, I won't hesitate. I can take your power in half a day."

"Alright, fine."

Amina nodded gently, displaying an air of compliance at this moment.

A light flickered from Wang Jixuan's fingertip.

He hadn't told Amina earlier.

He was now a Nascent Soul Cultivator and possessed a Primordial Spirit, allowing him to heal most of Amina's internal injuries quickly and help Amina refine her soul to enhance some of her strength.

He was willing to trust Amina; they were old comrades after all.

As for Nierdamon;

Wang Jixuan did not intend to intervene in his injuries.

The hundred billion souls on Earth, those persecuted by Spiritual Ability City, would not allow him to heal Nierdamon.

'Later, I can recruit a few spirit cultivators as my underlings.'

Master Wang mused idly.

Since Xiao Huating couldn't sustain fasting, Mu Dan regularly entered this place to deliver meals.

Three days passed in a flash, and suddenly a strong light flickered in the hall, with thousands of stars sparkling in a partial area above Cloud City.

This seemed to announce the return of a powerful spirit cultivator.

Nierdamon looked up at the sky, his expression shifting between bright and dark.

He knew about Wang Jixuan and Amina's dual cultivation and had a rough idea of its content. Now, Amina's core circuit was fully reactivated once again, and her own Qi fluctuations had recovered to eighty percent of her peak.

This put Nierdamon in a state of hesitation.

Of course, he wasn't considering asking Wang Jixuan for a session of dual cultivation; that seemed too absurd to him. His boundaries, principles, pride, and character would never allow this strong man to do such a thing.

What Nierdamon was actually pondering was about other injured female spirit cultivators who couldn't restore their strength in a short time.

However, Nierdamon quickly dismissed these unnecessary thoughts.

The Earth was now shielded by a barrier; they weren't part of Hei Yao's group and had no means to reach Earth.

"Sigh."

This strong man sighed and continued to look down at the gossip magazine in his hands.

He enjoyed reading these Yina people's tabloid stories.

The half-month deadline set by Wang Jixuan was quickly approaching.

However, within this small elite group of the human camp in Cloud City, it was uncertain at the moment; whether disaster or emergence would arrive first.
