Chapter 122 She Wants to Cultivate Together
Jiang Changsu switched from defense to offense, her eyes darting around. Luo Sifan dared not bring up the matter again, and suppressing her nervousness, she got down to business:
"Sect Master Jiang, when I said I had gained something, it was naturally about the method for your Yin-Yang Nascent Soul phenomenon. I have no way to use advanced methods, but I have calculated two simpler ones."
Jiang Changsu's burgeoning feelings vanished instantly. She gazed intently at Luo Sifan, her joy barely contained, and said:
"Elder Lin certainly doesn't disappoint. I'm all ears for these two methods!"
Seeing that she had become much more serious, Luo Sifan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly began to speak after some thought:
"Sect Leader Jiang's Nascent Soul is complete, making it difficult to exert external force. Your sect's method of internal Yin-Yang cultivation is against the will of Heaven from the very beginning. It is not the path of cultivation, but rather a narrow path leading to a deep pool at night! The slightest carelessness will cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang, leading to all sorts of accidents!"
Jiang Changsu listened intently and unconsciously nodded in agreement with Luo Sifan's words.
Seeing that she was serious and showed no resistance, Luo Sifan felt reassured and continued with his own speculation:
"Sect Master Jiang is exceptionally intelligent and maintains an excellent balance between Yin and Yang. His cultivation progressed smoothly from Qi Refining to Golden Core, but this also sowed the seeds of a major disaster for his advancement to Nascent Soul."
"Now that Sect Leader Jiang's Yin and Yang Nascent Souls are evenly matched, and the position of Divine Lord is unique, the outcome will inevitably be difficult. If we want to eliminate this worry, I can think of two methods."
"The first is to reconstruct the cultivation method and integrate Yin and Yang. The essential principles of the cultivation method should transcend Yin and Yang and point directly to the source of heaven and earth, the beginning of Yin and Yang."
Luo Sifan happens to possess such a technique: the Taiyi Qingxuan Divine Skill. He has reduced and refined it, combining it with the technique practiced by Jiang Changsu. If he diligently cultivates it daily, it is feasible to merge the two Nascent Souls into one after three to five years, completely eliminating the Yin and Yang nature.
Jiang Changsu also thought it made sense, but she frowned slightly, worried about where to find a high-level cultivation method that could resolve the conflict between yin and yang.
"Sect Master Jiang, there is no need to worry. I, Lin, can handle this matter! However, cultivating this path will likely take three to five years. By the time I achieve enlightenment, my path of dual cultivation with your sect will probably be completely different."
Seeing her distress, Luo Sifan offered words of comfort.
Jiang Changsu was surprised and suspicious. In the past, she would have scoffed at Luo Sifan's confident attitude. But now she believed him to be 80% and placed a lot of hope in him.
Luo Sifan not only has an amazing background and a terrifying backing, but his performance in reading scriptures these past few days has also surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Jiang Changsu has long been secretly impressed by him.
"The second one is faster-acting, and the nature of the nascent soul can be preserved, which is more in line with your sect's practice of dual cultivation..."
When Luo Sifan mentioned the second method, his face flushed slightly as he hesitated.
Jiang Changsu was quick-witted; her thoughts flashed through her mind, and she blurted out:
"Elder Lin, is this second method perhaps about you and me cultivating together?"
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Changsu covered her troublesome red lips in embarrassment and annoyance.
Despite holding the title of sect leader of the Hehuan Sect for decades, Jiang Changsu, who was born and raised here and has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, is still a virgin. When this matter is mentioned, she feels not only ashamed but also somewhat afraid.
Luo Sifan hadn't expected Jiang Changsu to react so strongly. His face flushed, and he said in a flustered voice:
"This is merely a feasible solution; I mentioned it as soon as I thought of it. Sect Leader Jiang, please don't take it to heart!"
Since the seven days and seven nights in Fangyuan City, Luo Sifan's state of mind seemed to have changed. He was no longer hesitant about this matter. This master's state of mind made him focus on cultivation, and he spoke up as soon as he thought of it.
However, matters between men and women are not as simple as cultivation.
Lin Qianxiu watched the two of them making faces and saying bold things as if they were putting on an act, and she was already so angry that she rolled her eyes.
After her initial embarrassment and anger subsided, Jiang Changsu bit her lip and pondered quietly, gradually setting aside her romantic feelings. Her thoughts turned to matters of great importance concerning her sect and her cultivation.
After much deliberation, with various emotions swirling within him, Jiang Changsu found it difficult to make a decision.
Jiang Changsu dragged Luo Sifan into the discussion of sect responsibilities, cultivation choices, and even the sect's future. She subtly compared them, and Luo Sifan stood calmly in front of her, his nonchalant demeanor only irritating her more.
"Little Susu, why think so much? If it were me, I'd win him over first!"
Bai Lanzun had been observing for a long time, and now he sent a message urging Jiang Changsu to make a decision quickly.
Upon hearing this, the restless Sect Leader Jiang calmed down. Bai Lan was her guiding light, an invincible lord whom she both respected and feared. Since Bai Lan had spoken, it was not an exaggeration to take it as an order.
However… Jiang Changsu felt a slight fear and replied to Venerable Bailan:
"Your Majesty! Isn't Elder Lin your younger brother? He holds a very high position. If... if I were to cultivate with him, would Your Majesty truly not mind?"
Bai Lan was somewhat speechless at Jiang Changsu's caution. After a few breaths, she finally transmitted her voice faintly:
"Susu, don't worry about me changing my mind later. My brother is very capable, the more the merrier. Why would I care how many women he has? It's you who should put more effort into keeping him tied down in the future. You'll benefit immensely. Also, don't embarrass me in front of other women."
Bai Lan gave a meaningful chuckle, her attitude seemingly very encouraging towards Jiang Changsu.
Jiang Changsu was now unsure whether it was voluntary or due to Bai Lan's pressure. In any case, there was only one path to choose from, saving her from overthinking and indecisiveness.
With swift and decisive action, Jiang Changsu's delicate demeanor vanished, replaced by the imposing aura of a sect leader and the overwhelming power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Luo Sifan blinked, looking a little confused.
Jiang, the sect leader, is a fickle person. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a shy and worrisome girl next door into a ruthless and lewd sect leader who preys on those she chooses to devour.
"Elder Lin, my mind is made up. Although the divine skill is good, I am ultimately reluctant to give up the path of the Hehuan Sect. I am unwilling to bear the responsibilities of the sect and the hopes of the disciples for my own selfish reasons. Therefore, I trouble Elder Lin to condescend to cultivate with me, so that I may prolong my life and attain the Dao, and glorify the cause of my sect."
Jiang Changsu spoke eloquently, her mind filled with wild thoughts related to Luo Sifan. Her face flushed and her heart pounded, fearing that Luo Sifan had seen through her true feelings.
Luo Sifan naturally didn't speculate on the supernatural powers of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He found Jiang Changsu's suppressed excitement quite reasonable.
"Sect Leader Jiang, you still prioritize the sect. It's tough on her."
As Luo Sifan pondered, he couldn't help but feel a greater respect for Jiang Changsu.
Luo Sifan rose solemnly and bowed slightly to Jiang Changsu in a sincere manner.
"The Dao has no hierarchy; following the will of Heaven and responding to the needs of humanity is my Great Dao. Sect Leader Jiang's intention is to dedicate himself to the sect and forge ahead with determination; his path may not necessarily be flawed. I, Lin, am fortunate to cultivate alongside the Sect Leader, and I will certainly do my utmost to explore the mysteries of the Dao together."
Jiang Changsu treated Luo Sifan as Bai Lan's younger brother. Despite his noble status and the imminent start of dual cultivation, she remained humble and polite, and her anxious thoughts were calmed down considerably.
"In that case, we will leave it to Elder Lin to decide."
Jiang Changsu slowly extended her jade-like hand from beneath her elegant dress, reaching towards Luo Sifan. Her eyes, both bright and dim, flickered slightly as she fixed her gaze on Luo Sifan.
Jiang Changsu had seen and heard a lot about proper dual cultivation, but when it came to actual practice, he was still a complete novice. He could only expose his shortcomings and let the veteran Luo Sifan take the lead.
