The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 450 - 196: Spiritual Intercourse and Dual Cultivation (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Originally, Feng Wu intended to merge with Xu Qing in Divine Union when he broke through the Possession Realm, to aid him in smoothly advancing, but her husband succeeded on his own.
Now the situation has reversed; it is Xu Qing who helps her reach higher levels of the Annihilation Scripture, allowing her Divine Soul Cultivation to ascend toward the peak of Manifestation.
Of course, Xu Qing can further comprehend the Alchemy Dao through the dual cultivation of Divine Union.
The dual cultivation of Divine Union between a man and a woman is also a form of holding the alchemical elixir, mutually complementing to perfection.
The Heavenly Sound and Earth Sound of the Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique act as a catalyst. Now, as both their Divine Souls enter a higher level of Divine Union, the stimulation and experience far exceed that of physical dual cultivation by a thousandfold.
In reality, practicing the Xuantian Marvelous Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique and cleansing the marrow and replacing the blood is also a process of complete transformation.
This feedbacks from the Divine Soul to the physical body.
Transforming Qi with Deity, transforming essence with Qi.
It can be said that a Refining Internal expert is still mortal, while a Martial Arts Grandmaster is transcendent, and a Martial Saint enters sainthood.
Xu Qing’s Divine Soul is at the Possession Master Level, and during his comprehension of the Grandmaster Realm in Martial Arts, his transformation is even more thorough.
In reality, as humans are the most intelligent beings, the true strength lies in wisdom, the brain, the Divine Soul, where our physical body falls short compared to many fierce beasts and birds.
Especially the birds.
A bird, weighing several tens of pounds, dares to hunt animals weighing hundreds of pounds.
Recently, Xu Qing has been studying and discovered ancient texts with many mysterious bird-shaped characters, aiming to communicate with the heavens. And he has carefully observed birds, noticing one thing.
The physical structure of birds is very streamlined.
In fact, whether it’s the physical structure of humans or many other animals, one can find some flaws, but birds have a significant advantage in this regard, and it’s hard to find flaws.
For instance, when a bird’s wings contract upwards, each feather turns vertically, ensuring a barrier-free air current and preventing too much resistance when the wings are raised, facilitating liftoff.
This also shows that bird muscles can control each feather.
So even if humans were to make wings from birds’ feathers and flap forcefully, they wouldn’t be able to fly like birds.
Controlling the direction of each feather, when applied in Martial Arts, is having a strong and delicate control over one’s own muscles.
The principle of Martial Arts is to move from form to intention.
By observing these flying birds, or powerful animals, one discerns the subtle principles and integrates them into Martial Studies.
This is the power of wisdom.
Xu Qing and Feng Wu return to their room, from Divine Soul to physical body...
This is a true integration of spirit and flesh.
Both reaching a grand harmony of life’s zenith.
After finishing, Feng Wu, despite feeling utterly relaxed, ensures none of the True Essence leaks.
This is something the Dongming Princess sought strenuously but couldn’t attain.
Ah, the frightening competitive spirit of a woman.
Xu Qing secretly chuckles.
Before leaving, he uses all sorts of tricks to please his beloved wife.
The next day, Xu Qing, looking bright and spirited, sets off.
He takes Su Lianqing with him, as the follow-up matters of the Sea Sand Gang needed her attention.
Xu Qing and Su Lianqing first visit the Sea Sand Madam’s villa outside the city, a place with rural charm surrounded by villages bustling with people.
Passing through the villages, Xu Qing notices many people practice Kung Fu, although most are quite basic.
But their practiced skills have some essence, with shadows of Taoist Martial Arts.
Upon arriving at the villa, in the outer courtyard are many ferocious beasts and birds; among them, eight Tibetan mastiffs are the most terrifying.
With these mastiffs keeping watch at night, even a Divine Soul Expert skilled in Exorcism wouldn’t dare to enter rashly.
"Madam, Xu Jieyuan and Miss Su have arrived."
Su Lianqing and the Sea Sand Madam have had many dealings, and the steward here is aware of her presence.
The courtyard is filled with a strong fragrance of many flowers and plants.
At this time, it is spring, and the flowers are in full bloom.
Living in such a manor is indeed very pleasant.
Xu Qing has never cared much for luxuries, but at this moment, he also feels sinking into a haven of tenderness.
One must admit, a single wealthy widow without a man’s nourishment can only rely on flowers and plants, clearly a major concern in this regard.
A girl around fifteen, dressed as a boy and clearly skilled, appears and looks at Xu Qing with hostility.
"Yan’er, Xu Jieyuan and Miss Su are here to help us; don’t be rude."
"Yes, mother."
The Sea Sand Madam comes out to greet them, welcoming Xu Qing and Su Lianqing.
The person called Yan’er is her daughter, Jin Yanzi.
The Sea Sand Madam’s late husband was a live-in son-in-law, so her daughter takes her surname Jin. Her father, also deceased, was the former gang leader of the Sea Sand Gang. Her husband died in a sea accident.
Alone, she could not hold onto the family business and thus became a concubine under Prince Yu’s courting.
Originally supported by Prince Yu, she had a comfortable life for a while, but now, due to Xu Qing’s grip, she has angered Prince Yu, and her life has become difficult again.
Jin Yanzi naturally knows these matters, hence her great hostility toward Xu Qing and Su Lianqing.
Xu Qing, of course, wouldn’t take offense at a child, proceeding to the hall.
The Sea Sand Madam invites him to sit in the host seat.
Jin Yanzi serves tea.
The tea is boiling hot, still emitting white steam.
Xu Qing picks up the scalding tea cup, playfully stating, "Madam, do you still have the tradition of serving Kung Fu tea here?"
The Sea Sand Madam couldn’t help but feel awkward.
Jin Yanzi says, "If you’re afraid to even drink this bowl of tea, how can you help us?"
Xu Qing smiles, "Your charm as a young lady isn’t small; everyone come out now."
He sits in the host seat, with the statue of the Heavenly Official deity behind him.
People going out to sea face unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes. Hence, they like to worship the Heavenly Official, who governs human fortunes, praying for the deity’s blessing while at sea.
