Chapter 894. Joint Cultivation of the 4 Treasures

"Indeed, there is a connection."

Eldrin exchanged a glance with the others before striding into the grand hall.

Entering the main hall, their expressions darkened slightly as they beheld a treasure pearl hovering within, entwined with the hues of yin and yang.

Beneath the treasure pearl, 3 additional treasures radiated their brilliance.

Within those 3 treasures, the first was a Daoist scripture, the second a precious vase swirling with Yin-Yang essence, and the last a miraculous substance radiating 5-colored auroral light.

"This is!"

The moment Eldrin laid eyes upon the 4 treasures, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Among the 4 treasures, he knew nothing of the others, but the Yin-Yang Pearl contained fragmented divine patterns of cosmic laws. It was clearly no mortal artifact—rather, it was a near-immortal treasure, a rarity seldom seen in this world.

With this thought in mind, Eldrin immediately channeled his spiritual power to summon the treasure pearl, refining it through the Dual Yin-Yang Harmony Art.

This method proved truly effective, and before long, the treasured pearl was completely refined.

After refining the treasure pearl, Eldrin finally comprehended the origins of these several artifacts and this cave abode.

It turned out this abode was known as the Yin Yang Immortal Manor, left behind by the founding master of the Yin Yang Sect, Tongcan Patriarch, over 700,000 years ago.

Among the several treasures, the Yin-Yang Treasure Pearl, known as the 'Pearl of Yin-Yang Mutual Cultivation', was formed by the convergence of the primordial Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth. It contained the power of Yin-Yang laws, making it an exceptionally rare celestial artifact.

However, this object was incompletely formed, and even after refinement by Fellow Cultivator Tongcan, its grade only reached the near-immortal tier.

Yet even so, this near-immortal treasure still possessed astonishing and extraordinary wonders.

This artifact may not possess formidable combat prowess, but it stands as a supreme immortal treasure for cultivation assistance, offering immense benefits to practitioners in their spiritual endeavors.

That Fellow Cultivator Patriarch was born with rather ordinary talent, but in his youth, he was dashing and charismatic, particularly adept at attracting the admiration of female cultivators. It is said that throughout his life, he had taken over 3,000 individuals as dao companions and concubines.

He attained immortality by relying on the Yin-Yang Resonance Pearl, through continuous dual cultivation with his dao companions and concubines, unknowingly reaching the realm of ascension.

This individual pioneered the supreme cultivation method known as the Yin-Yang Communion Art, establishing the precedent for attaining immortality through dual cultivation in the Violet Realm.

"This Yin Yang Twin Comprehension Pearl can greatly enhance a cultivator's cultivation speed."

If combined with the dual cultivation method and aided by the Heaven-Earth Spirit Peach, 1’s cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

Eldrin murmured softly as he stored away the Yin-Yang Resonance Pearl, "It seems from now on, we might break through 1 cultivation realm every 3 to 5 100 years."

"Pah!"

Lyra and Qing Ji (Person Name) couldn't help but roll their eyes at his words, though deep within their gaze seemed to linger both delight and bashfulness.

Eldrin, however, remained utterly unperturbed, his gaze calmly shifting to the remaining few treasures.

Among the 3 remaining treasures, the scroll of Daoist scripture was the complete version of the Dual Cultivation of Yin and Yang.

This is the supreme method of the Dual Cultivation path, capable of cultivating a Dao Fruit that ascends to the immortal realm. It can truly be considered 1 of the world's most pinnacle techniques.

After examining the Yin Yang Mutual Attainment Scripture, Eldrin finally understood how the Patriarch of Mutual Attainment had managed to ascend to immortality.

This method can be considered profoundly mysterious, documenting various dual cultivation techniques that can rapidly enhance a cultivator's cultivation base, while also aiding them in condensing the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit.

However, Eldrin believed the most crucial aspect was that this method could draw on each other's strengths to achieve the legendary Yin-Yang complementarity.

According to the description of this method, when a man and a woman practice it together in dual cultivation, they can not only share part of their insights into the Dao but also draw upon each other's pure Yin and pure Yang energies, replenishing aspects of their foundation and innate talent.

In the past, that Elder Tongcan was not considered a heaven-defying prodigy, and by all reasoning, his path to immortality should have been nearly impossible. Yet, against all expectations, he transcended the mortal realm and ascended as an immortal.

The fundamental reason was that during his dual cultivation with his 3,000 dao companions, Patriarch Tongchan continuously mended the flaws in his foundation, ultimately breaking through to the realm of immortality in 1 decisive leap.

"By harnessing the complementary forces of Yin and Yang, 1 may mend the flaws in their foundation."

"Although Patriarch Tongcan was not exceptionally gifted in innate talent, he could still be considered a man of remarkable comprehension."

Eldrin murmured under his breath, then revealed a faint smile.

He refrained from making excessive comments on the romantic affairs of his senior. However, with the aid of this method, he could now impart his insights into the 5 elemental secret forces to Lyra (Person Name) through the Dual Cultivation Art.

With this assistance, Lyra's hope of comprehending the Profound Chaos Force in the future could be considered significantly enhanced.

Among the 4 treasures, both the Daoist tome and the mystic pearl were supreme artifacts, while the remaining 2, though slightly inferior, remained extraordinarily exceptional.

The third treasure was a vial of 5-Colored Divine Marrow, the essential component for cultivating the 5-Colored Divine Light and the very artifact Lyra (Person Name) had sensed through her spiritual connection.

Finally, within that treasure vase lay 9 glazed elixirs. These pills were known as the 'Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pills'—a sixth-tier, lower-grade treasure of pure Yang essence.

When consumed alone, this pill offers only the most ordinary effects of a low-grade sixth-tier elixir. Yet when paired with the Yin-Yang Mutual Attainment Art for dual cultivation between man and woman, its efficacy becomes extraordinarily exceptional.

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, this pill alone would suffice for a Primordial Spirit, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator. If refined through dual cultivation with a female cultivator's primordial spirit, it could save nearly 2 1000 years of arduous cultivation.

Eldrin took the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Pills, keeping 1 for himself and distributing 3 others to Lyra, Qing Ji, and Lila respectively.

With 5 pills remaining, he handed 2 of them to Yan Zi Ji and Seraphina Qu (Person Name), then said, "With the great battle imminent, you may refine these pills consecutively."

"Even without employing the dual cultivation method, the effects after refinement would be halved, yet this remains sufficient to greatly advance your cultivation."

Seraphina Qu (Person Name)和宴紫姬闻言，当即也接过了宝丹。

Lady Yan Ziji accepted the treasure pill, glanced at Eldrin, and seemed on the verge of speaking, yet held her words unspoken.

Seraphina Qu, however, gritted her teeth, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and resolve as she performed a graceful curtsy. "This battle is fraught with extraordinary peril," she said. "Only with greater strength can we truly secure victory."

"This humble 1 is willing to reveal myself to you, young master, to aid your cultivation in advancing further, that you may slay the black dragon and quell this calamity."

Beside them, Lyra was inwardly taken aback by these words, whereas Lila and Qing Ji (Person Name) seemed to have already grasped the situation, offering no further remarks.

Eldrin (Person Name) froze momentarily, then shook his head in the very next instant. "Though resisting demonic cultivators is crucial, it does not warrant such immense sacrifice."

"Even if we merely refine this pill, I daresay our cultivation will advance significantly."

"Young master..."

Seraphina Qu's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she wished to say more, yet found the words lodged unspoken within her heart.

Seeing her request denied, Yan Zi Ji stole a glance at Lyra (Person Name) and Lila (Person Name), a complex and inexplicable emotion stirring within her.

"This battle is perilous. To ensure our chances of victory, should you be willing to become my husband's concubine, we may refine this elixir through the Dual Cultivation method."

Lyra remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

To be fair, she was reluctant to share her Dao Companion with others, yet among all the cultivators under heaven, how many male practitioners were without concubines?

Chapter 1 The biting northern wind swept across the mountain range, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Snowflakes danced wildly in the air, blanketing the jagged peaks in a layer of pristine white. At the summit of the highest mountain, a solitary figure sat cross-legged upon a massive bluestone, motionless as if carved from ice. Lin Feng had been meditating here for 3 full years. His black robes were tattered, his long hair matted with frost, yet his eyes remained closed in deep concentration. The spiritual energy around him swirled like an invisible vortex, causing the falling snow to veer away before touching his robes. "Finally..." Lin Feng's eyelids fluttered open, his pupils flashing with a faint golden light. "The ninth level of the Frozen Soul Art is complete." He slowly rose, joints cracking like popping beans after years of immobility. With a casual wave of his hand, the accumulated snow and ice covering him instantly vaporized into mist. [Congratulations, Host, for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The system has unlocked the mission function.] A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind. Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. This mysterious system had appeared when he transmigrated to this cultivation world 15 years ago, yet it had remained dormant until his breakthrough today. "Show me the mission," he commanded inwardly. [Mission: Investigate the ancient ruins at the foot of the mountain. Reward: 1,000 spirit stones, 1 random low-grade magical treasure.] A translucent interface materialized before his eyes, displaying the mission details. Lin Feng's brow twitched slightly. A 1000 spirit stones was no small sum for a rogue cultivator like him, not to mention a magical treasure. He gazed toward the foot of the mountain where, according to local legends, an ancient cultivation sect's ruins lay buried beneath the snow. Many had ventured there seeking fortune, yet few returned. "Seems the system won't let me rest even after breaking through," Lin Feng murmured, a faint smile touching his lips. With a light step, his figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light descending the mountain. The wind whipped past his ears as he moved, the scenery blurring around him. This was the advantage of reaching Foundation Establishment—the ability to travel by sword flight. Though he didn't yet possess a flying sword, his movement speed had increased tenfold. Within a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Before him lay a massive collapsed stone gate, half-buried in snow. Faded, mysterious patterns were carved into the stone, hinting at its former grandeur. Lin Feng landed lightly, his spiritual sense spreading outward like ripples on water. Immediately, he detected several auras hidden in the surroundings. "Fellow cultivators, since you're already here, why hide?" Lin Feng said coolly, his hand resting on the hilt of the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss at his waist. Hearing his words, 3 figures emerged from behind nearby boulders. The leader was a burly man with a scarred face, holding a gleaming broadsword. "Not bad, kid, to detect us," the scarred man said with a rough laugh. "But this place is ours now. Scram if you know what's good for you!" The 2 behind him chuckled, their eyes scanning Lin Feng with undisguised greed. Lin Feng's expression remained placid. "According to the rules of the cultivation world, treasures belong to those fated to obtain them." "Fated?" The scarred man snorted coldly. "Then let me see if you have that fate!" As his voice fell, the broadsword in his hand burst into fiery light, transforming into a crimson blade aura shooting straight toward Lin Feng. The surrounding snow instantly melted under the scorching heat, steam rising in clouds. Facing the attack, Lin Feng showed no sign of panic. His right hand formed a seal, and the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss flew out from its scabbard, its blade glowing with an eerie blue light. "Break!" With a light shout, the blue sword light collided with the crimson blade aura. A deafening explosion echoed through the mountains. The scarred man's expression changed dramatically as he watched his blade aura shatter like glass. Before he could react, the blue sword light had already reached his throat. "How... how is this possible..." The scarred man stared in disbelief at the sword tip at his neck, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "You're merely at the ninth level of Qi Refining..." Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Who told you I'm at Qi Refining?" As he spoke, he released a trace of his spiritual pressure. The overwhelming aura of Foundation Establishment instantly enveloped the 3 men. "Fo... Foundation Establishment!" The scarred man's face turned deathly pale, his legs giving way as he knelt in the snow. "Senior, please spare us! We were blind not to recognize Mount Tai!" The other 2 also dropped to their knees, kowtowing repeatedly. Lin Feng withdrew his flying sword, speaking calmly, "Get lost." The 3 scrambled to their feet and fled as if their lives depended on it, disappearing into the snow in the blink of an eye. Watching their retreating figures, Lin Feng shook his head. In the cultivation world, strength reigned supreme—this was an eternal truth. He turned and stepped through the collapsed stone gate, entering the ancient ruins. The system interface in his mind flickered, displaying a new line of text: [New mission: Explore the main hall of the ruins. Reward: 3,000 spirit stones, 1 mid-grade magical treasure.]
