Chapter 2071: True Spirit of Black Jade

Lin Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had come to this ancient site specifically to find the fragmentary techniques of the Moon Murmur Heaven Witch, and now that he had found them, his heart was overflowing with joy. Moreover, there was a chance to treat YuanYuan's persistent illness.

Who said good fortune doesn't come in threes? At this moment, wasn't he experiencing two joys at once?

Of course, as he had just mentioned, the secret technique hidden among the fragmentary techniques of the Spirit Separation stage required further contemplation. He couldn’t make a hasty judgment; otherwise, if it turned out to be a false hope for both him and YuanYuan, they would be deeply disappointed.

When Lin Xuan said this, Peacock did not press further. She was not one to get impatient easily; her husband's decision was final on such matters.

After thorough searching, there were no other interesting items in the cave. The couple left together.

Once outside, Lin Xuan didn't rush to rest. He needed to refine YuanYuan’s residual soul, a significant task. So he took out the jade cylinder inscribed with the Moon Murmur Clan's techniques and began to deeply contemplate it.

Entering meditation for over two weeks, Lin Xuan skipped past the techniques related to the Spirit Separation stage. It was inappropriate to force growth; even if he studied them meticulously, they would be of no use to him. In these two weeks, he focused on the secret technique he had mentioned earlier: True Spirit of Black Jade.

The text detailed how to refine true spirit blood. However, the conditions were extremely stringent and not something a single person could achieve alone.

This was because the True Spirit of Black Jade was a dual cultivation technique requiring both male and female practitioners to work together for it to be effective.

Though Lin Xuan found this surprising, he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, in the vast world of cultivators, while many were single, there were also numerous couples supporting each other as they sought immortality.

This dual cultivation not only brought joy but could also enhance their cultivation. Thus, such techniques emerged.

However, True Spirit of Black Jade was more accurately described as a secret technique rather than a cultivation method. It required one partner to have true spirit bloodline. Only then, when refining the blood of other true spirits, would they be able to use their own lineage to suppress any backlash from the true spirit's blood. Otherwise, the cultivator would inevitably suffer an explosive death.

Such stringent requirements were indeed extreme, nearly as demanding as the Moon Murmur Heaven Witch’s requirement for pure spirit roots, if not more so.

Theoretically, it was possible, but in practice, this technique clearly stated that since its creation, only one couple had met all the criteria.

This strictness left no room for doubt. However, coincidences were common in the world of cultivation. After reviewing the conditions, Lin Xuan was pleasantly surprised; it seemed tailor-made for him and Peacock.

Dual cultivation required a human and an advanced spirit beast, with one having true spirit bloodline. All three conditions were met: YuanYuan not only descended from Great Brightness Queen Peacock but also had some phoenix blood in her. In other words, they surpassed the requirements.

Lin Xuan was naturally delighted. The secret technique itself wasn't particularly difficult or complex; he had already comprehended it word by word after two weeks of contemplation and study. All that remained was for Peacock to agree.

He needn’t worry about this. After all, YuanYuan was his wife, and they shared a deep bond. They had already consummated their marriage long ago, so dual cultivation was perfectly normal. Moreover, it would help mitigate the threat of residual souls, benefiting both him and her. How could she possibly refuse?

Thus, Lin Xuan happily presented the technique to Peacock.

When Lin Xuan explained his intentions, YuanYuan felt a mix of shame and joy. She was relieved that what he had said earlier was correct; the threat from the Golden-winged Phoenix’s residual soul could be eliminated. As for the shame… well, everyone understood.

Though she was bold and straightforward, dual cultivation couldn’t be easily accepted even by her. Even men might feel awkward about such matters.

"Alright, wife, what do you think?" Lin Xuan boldly asked, his heart full of longing after centuries apart.

In the heat of passion, dual cultivation seemed natural to him. Peacock was no different; even a bold and spirited woman would feel shy in such moments.

However, her straightforward nature made her finally extend her hand: "My lord, please show me the technique first before you decide if I’m being tricked."

This was actually an attempt to save face. Lin Xuan wasn’t foolish; he understood what she meant. The implication was that she had agreed but was still shy.

Lin Xuan’s heart leaped with joy. He couldn’t show any signs of excitement, or his wife would be upset. He needed to maintain composure.

Centuries passed in an instant, and Lin Xuan was no longer the naive young man he once was. Remembering how his clumsiness had infuriated Peacock back then, he knew better now.

With a serious expression, he said: "Of course, my dear wife, if you want to see the technique, I have no objections."

As he spoke, he reached into his waistband and produced the green jade cylinder. Peacock took it without hesitation.
