Chapter 373: In the Mirror
Mu Qingtong attempted to invade the Divine Seal to gain some control. Under the engulfing power of her abyss-like mental strength, the character ‘Gong’ gradually dimmed and lost its luster.
However, this was, after all, a divine imprint. She couldn’t find a breakthrough, and the character ‘Gong’ soon regained its radiance.
It wasn’t a major issue, though. She had plenty of time over these three days.
Let the Eternal Day Goddess feel a sense of participation.
Xia Feng didn’t expect Miss Mu’s vengeful psychology to be so strong.
It seemed every time the Eternal Day Divine Seal lit up, Miss Mu would get excited.
Xia Feng ignored her. After removing the ‘Suppress Curse,’ he had enough energy to focus on improving his cultivation.
[A-class Yin-Yang Mirror (Optimized Version)]
[All things Yin and Yang, is Tai Chi, generates Two Forms, Two Forms generates Four Symbols, Four Symbols generates Eight Trigrams.]
The Yin-Yang Mirror’s appearance was that of a rectangular floor-standing mirror, indistinguishable from a fitting room mirror in a cloakroom.
At this moment, in the mirror, a silver-haired woman sat on a man’s waist, quietly staring at her reflection. The scene was so eerie that it made her ear roots burn, and she coldly turned her gaze away.
Xia Feng patted her round thigh. “Miss Mu, let’s begin. We’ll try it once and see the effect.”
“Mhm,” Mu Qingtong replied softly.
As spirit pressure increased in the later stages, cultivation became more time-consuming. It was no longer possible to reach the peak of the current stage in less than a month, as before.
After entering the Fourth Stage, she estimated it would take her another three months to reach the peak.
However, if the Yin-Yang Mirror could help shorten this time, she didn’t mind borrowing external power.
What’s more, she now had a very suitable cultivation partner.
“Miss Mu, will you lead, or should I—”
“I will,” Mu Qingtong said softly before he finished speaking, then turned her gaze back to her own reflection in the mirror, her silver hair disheveled and damp.
The basic function of the Yin-Yang Mirror required a man and a woman with similar overall attributes to achieve harmonious physical sensations and mental synchronization. When both simultaneously reached the peak of their mental and physical sensations, one of their comprehensive attributes would receive a random increase of 0.1 to 1 point.
Achieving harmonious physical sensations and mental synchronization was actually very difficult.
It was akin to two people jointly operating a large and extremely complex Time-Space Ship, ensuring safe high-speed travel while experiencing the same physical and mental pleasure from the exhilarating ride, without the slightest deviation.
However, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong cooperated surprisingly well during their first cultivation session.
It was just that the amplified attribute values were a bit low.
[Two hours, you gained a 0.3 point increase in Strength Value.]
” …?” Outrageous! This little increase cost me so much energy?! Xia Feng’s eye twitched slightly.
After a few more trials, Mu Qingtong quickly discovered the pattern.
Under the same conditions, the faster the Time-Space Ship traveled, and the stronger the exhilaration from the high-speed ride, the higher the amplification.
Under Mu Qingtong’s hands-on guidance, Xia Feng quickly mastered the pattern and practical experience.
They began the seventh experiment.
[Half an hour, you gained a 1 point increase in Agility.]
[Half an hour, you gained a 1voc increase in Spirit Pressure.]
[Half an hour, you gained a 1soc increase in Mental Power.]
“Stop, Miss Mu. Let’s move on to the next item’s experiment first.” Xia Feng felt a bit overwhelmed. This damn cultivation was exhausting for so little gain?
It was faster than him absorbing power from Miss Evil Dragon.
However, fortunately, the Yin-Yang Mirror had a second function.
[Tai Chi: It can infuse a large amount of spirit power in advance and simultaneously sacrifice a pair of Light-Dark Obsidian. After refining, it will generate Tai Chi power within the Yin-Yang Mirror.
—Tai Chi power: When cultivating before the Yin-Yang Mirror, one can choose to be nourished by the Tai Chi power. It will automatically help both parties sort out their internal Spirit Particle Structure, greatly increasing their Spirit Pressure state, providing a 100-1000voc amplification to Spirit Pressure. Simultaneously, all injuries to the body and soul will be rapidly repaired, and curses will be cleared.
—Specific conditions: Each strand of Tai Chi power requires the refinement of 100 servings of True Martial-grade Spirit Particle quantity and a pair of Light-Dark Obsidian (no need for harmonious physical sensations and mental synchronization from both parties).
Current stored Spirit Particle quantity: 710 servings of True Martial-grade.
Currently refined Light-Dark Obsidian: 4 Light Obsidian · 4 Dark Obsidian.
—Tai Chi Fruit: Under the effect of Tai Chi power, there is a 10% chance of condensing a Tai Chi Fruit.]
This amount of Spirit Particle quantity and Light-Dark Obsidian was the result of Che Tai Xian’s hard work accumulating for two years.
Che Tai Xian would likely never have imagined that not only would the A-class Spirit Artifact be taken by Xia Feng, but even the Tai Chi power, which he had painstakingly accumulated for so long with immense resources, would become a stepping stone for someone else.
With a flicker of Xia Feng’s thought, black and white flowing water gradually appeared in the floor-standing mirror, circulating smoothly in a Tai Chi Yin-Yang pattern.
Finally, as the man and woman in the mirror held each other tightly, the black and white water fully merged, forming two black and white intermingled Tai Chi fish, which then flowed into the foreheads of the man and woman in the mirror, respectively.
At the same time, Xia Feng, who was leaning against the mirror, stiffened. He felt the dense Spirit Particles in his soul space beginning to move with the Tai Chi fish, their movement causing ripples of spirit waves. They began to change their structure autonomously!
Optimization began.
Within the limited soul space, the density of Spirit Particles became increasingly concentrated. As space was freed up, new Spirit Particles would be born, filling the space, pressing in, and then filling again, repeating this cycle, causing the Spirit Pressure to rapidly increase!
Xia Feng felt as if “+999+999+999” experience points were constantly popping out above his head, leveling up at an incredible speed.
[Mu Qingtong is reconstructing her own Spirit Particle Structure, perfectly absorbing the Tai Chi power—]
[Your Spirit Pressure has been greatly enhanced by 1000voc, approaching late-stage levels!]
!
If the Fourth Stage was divided into 6 levels, he had jumped directly from level 2 to level 4.
And this was only the effect of one strand of Tai Chi power.
There were still three more strands remaining.
Mu Qingtong, with her fine legs straddling Xia Feng’s thighs, closed her eyes to quietly sense the enormous increase in Spirit Pressure before slowly opening them.
Her golden pupils looked down from above. She lightly hooked the man’s damp jaw, which was close at hand, with a delicate finger and praised with satisfaction:
“Mr. Xia, I must say, the effect of your Spirit Artifact is indeed quite good. It has saved me a lot of trouble.”
“Tch—You know that already.”
Xia Feng pushed her hand away and glanced at the bright sunlight outside the glass curtain wall. “We’ve been cultivating for quite a while. Let’s rest for now.”
“No need,” she replied, shaking her head. She directly took Xia Feng’s hand and placed it on her soft waist, her cool, beautiful eyes serious. “Let’s continue.”
“…”
Placing her hands on his shoulders, Mu Qingtong looked at her reflection behind Mr. Xia in the mirror. Her reflection was also holding Mr. Xia’s shoulders, her disheveled silver hair framing a beautiful face, her golden eyes, filled with a hidden coldness, meeting hers.
Xia Feng’s mocking voice echoed beside her ear: “Miss Mu, it seems you really do enjoy cultivating~”
“Naturally. If I can easily enhance my strength, why wouldn’t I like it?”
“Heh heh~”
“Shut up.”
“Miss Mu, you’re so hot~”
“Mr. Xia, you’re dead—”
“But I like it so much~”
“…?”
Mu Qingtong was momentarily stunned. Then, she tilted her small face and said softly, “What, you admit you like me now?”
“I mean—” Xia Feng gripped her slender waist and leaned in, chuckling by her ear. “I really like this alluring appearance of yours, Miss Mu. Can you be even hotter?”
“Mr. Xia.”
“Hm?”
“You’re dead!”
