Chapter 190: Chapter 87 I Have a Friend... [Thanks to Alliance Hierarch "Tangyuan Dad Loves Chicken" for the reward]_1

On the slopes of Silver Sword Peak.

The first team meeting of Chu Liang’s group was being held, with the enthusiastic Lin Bei and the three members from Yunyao Peak who were looking somewhat confused.

Shang Ziliang was still a little bewildered.

How did I, leader of Yunyao Peak, suddenly become a member of the Silver Sword Peak team?

It felt as if it was a decision made without my input.

I am the son of Yunyao Peak’s master. If even I am joining the enemy, what will the others from Yunyao Peak think?

I initially thought Chu Liang was alone, and that we simply needed to get him onboard. But who would’ve thought that even he wanted to form a team.

"Ahem." Chu Liang cleared his throat, saying, "I welcome everyone to our team at Silver Sword Peak. During the future Mountain God Festival, we will be comrades fighting side by side."

"I will now appoint myself as the team leader and Lin Bei as the deputy leader." Chu Liang pointed at Lin Bei as he spoke.

Shang Ziliang immediately objected, "Big brother, sure you can be the leader, but why is he the deputy?"

Chu Liang replied, "You three are all from Yunyao Peak, while there’s only one member from Jade Sword Peak. It’s only fair that we give him a little more power."

He gestured with his hand, pacifying, "Our team practices absolute democracy. All matters will be decided by voting in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ziliang’s face lit up. If the decision was made by voting, then the three of them grouping together would hold the absolute upper hand.

"Each of you three members has one vote, Lin Bei has two votes." Chu Liang arranged, causing the three from Yunyao Peak to chuckle. Even when their votes were added together, they still dominated over Lin Bei. But then, they heard Chu Liang continue, "I have three hundred and sixty votes."

"What?" The three of them opened their mouths wide in shock.

"Alright, the meeting is adjourned." Chu Liang stood up, "Let’s go to Tontian Peak to register."

"..."

As the group stepped onto Tontian Peak, they saw numerous disciples queuing for registration.

Just after they landed, a commotion broke out in the crowd and people started to make way.

Revealing a striking figure at the heart of the commotion.

Xu Ziyang, along with a team from Jade Sword Peak, emerged after finishing their registration.

Behind him were Fang Ting and two other Golden Core Realm experts. One of them was his sister - Xu Ziqing.

Ever since the news of Xu Ziyang stepping into the Fifth Realm broke out, his prestige within Shu Mountain has risen significantly, and disciples nearby didn’t dare to make direct eye contact.

Lin Bei quietly turned around to avoid drawing the attention of his colleagues from Jade Sword Peak.

Just then, a voice shouted from the crowd, "Jiangjiang is here!" "Senior Sister Jiang!"

Jiang Yuebai caused a different kind of stir unlike Xu Ziyang’s. Her arrival was like a spark amidst the crowd, igniting the entire square.

After her last teaching session, Jiang Yuebai had further solidified her popularity amongst the disciples. Not only was she liked, but some even revered her.

Chu Liang turned around to see an elegant figure, her face cold and aloof. She was leading four Golden Core Realm experts, walking straight towards them.

At their age, even if they’re a few years older, those who can step into the Golden Core Realm can usually be called a genius. If they were at some other sect, they would definitely be core disciples inclined towards the chief position.

The current generation at Shu Mountain only had about a dozen disciples at or above the Golden Core Realm, and these two teams took up nine places.

This, in itself, demonstrated the strength of Biluo and Jade Sword Peaks.

Just like a gathering of elites, wherever the two teams passed, the crowd automatically parted for them. The comings and goings of these two teams caught the attention of the whole square.

Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang’s eyes met for a moment, both nodded briefly towards each other, and without a word, they walked past each other.

The tension was palpable.

The spectators in the square were excited, hoping to see these two teams fight it out right then and there! Most of the disciples had already assumed that the winner would be from one of these two teams.

Only Chu Liang murmured softly, "Why doesn’t anyone have to line up?"

"Huh?" Lin Bei and the three others behind him were taken aback.

Indeed, no one had noticed this detail.

While the two teams were in a heated confrontation, stealing all the limelight in their face-off, you’re asking why they don’t have to line up?

...

After registering at Tontian Peak, Chu Liang dismissed them to return first.

Afterwards, he took a detour to the Law Protection Hall.

The arrangement in the hall seemed to be unchanged for thousands of years. Once entering, one had to pass through a corridor to see a square-faced Senior Brother Yuan reading a book.

"Junior Brother Chu." Once Yuan Zhuo saw him coming, he put down the book in his hand.

"Senior Brother Yuan." Chu Liang said, "I want to find a divine skill method. Do you have one?"

"What type?" Yuan Zhuo asked.

A little embarrassed, Chu Liang laughed and described it: "One where two golden cores circulate and merge, mutually supplementing and promoting each other..."

"Oh." Yuan Zhuo responded, "so, a dual-cultivation method, right?"

"Yes." Chu Liang nodded.

As the name dual-cultivation suggests, it is actually a practice involving two people. At some point, it became specifically referred to as a special practice between Taoist couples, which made Chu Liang feel a bit awkward.

But in all seriousness, dual-cultivation is an extremely profound way of communication.

The deepest exchange between a man and a woman goes no further than seizing every opportunity.

Dual-cultivation, however, requires both parties to open up their Qi Seas, allowing them to merge into each other’s Zhou Tian cycles, thereby combining their entire cultivation to form one entity.

During this process, the degree of openness and danger far exceeds anything else. It’s akin to entrusting each other with their lives and fortunes. Only the most trusted person can be completely open in this manner.

No wonder dual-cultivation gradually became a synonym for Taoist couples.

"You have already successfully formed your Golden Core, right?" Yuan Zhuo looked at Chu Liang and asked, "What Golden Cores do you and the other party have?"

"Ah..." Chu Liang replied, "I have the Shao Yang Golden Pill, and the... the other one is Shao Yin Golden Pill."

"Quite a good match indeed." Yuan Zhuo remarked, "Let me think about what methods suit the Shao Yin and Shao Yang Golden Pills."

"By the way." Chu Liang added, "I have one more thing to ask."

"Is there any divine skill where if I slash a shadow with a knife, I could kill a man by cutting him in half at the waist?" Chu Liang asked.

Ever since he was killed by a masked man in the Immortal’s Lake, he still had lingering fears.

"There are thousands of connections between light, shadow, and the human soul. If you want to hurt the soul by slashing the shadow, there are at least seven to eight divine skills that can do that. But if you want to hurt the physical body by doing so..." Yuan Zhuo mused for a moment, before answering, "The only one I know is the Black Light Shadow Slicing Secret."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan, for the information." Chu Liang said.

"I’ll find you a suitable dual-cultivation method. Wait a moment.." Yuan Zhuo replied.

Saying so, he got up and went into the rows of bookshelves behind to search.

While Chu Liang was waiting, a clear, crisp voice suddenly rang from behind, "Senior Brother Chu Liang!"

"Hmm?" He turned around and saw a clever and charming figure approaching, "Junior Sister Ziqing?"

"You’re also here to find a cultivation technique? What a coincidence." Xu Ziqing gave a sweet smile.

The two had not seen each other for several days, and Chu Liang laughed and said, "Yes, it’s been a long time."

"You never come to Jade Sword Peak to visit me, of course you won’t see me." Xu Ziqing tilted her head and complained.

"Jade Sword Peak... I dare not go." Chu Liang laughed.

"Hmph."

The young girl made a pouting sound, and as she was about to say something, Yuan Zhuo returned, disrupting their conversation.

"Junior Brother Chu, this is the dual-cultivation method you wanted."

He handed over a book instead of a jade slip, which explained why he had to fetch it himself. The book seemed to have been around for a while, given its yellowing and tattered appearance.

The title on the cover read: "The Yin Yang Fusion Technique."

"This method is ideal for dual-cultivation of Shao Yin and Shao Yang Golden Pills. The mutual benefits of Yin and Yang, connecting heaven and earth, can greatly benefit both parties." Yuan Zhuo continued, "But I still want to remind you, although dual-cultivation is good, you also need to be mindful of restraint. Historically, many talented people claimed to be dual cultivators, but they depleted their kidney Yang every day, ultimately delaying their cultivation and becoming mediocre..."

As he continued to speak, Xu Ziqing’s brows furrowed, and she looked at Chu Liang with a strange gaze.

"That..." Chu Liang noticed her gaze, and with a grin, laughingly said, "I’m buying this for someone else! Yes...I have a friend..."
