“???”
Upon hearing this, Li Qianfan almost choked on his own saliva; he looked at Ye Ling’er with a shocked face, as he had never anticipated that she would make such a request.
Dual cultivation?
As for the meaning of these two words, Li Qianfan was all too familiar, as he was a cultivator who relied on performing dual cultivation with women to enhance his realm.
He didn’t expect to encounter a fellow practitioner!
Could it be a joke?
Li Qianfan carefully examined Ye Ling’s expression and found her completely serious, not at all like she was joking. He hesitated for a moment, then feigned ignorance, “Do you mean ‘sleeping’ by dual cultivation in your words?”
“No…”
Suddenly, Ye Ling’er’s face turned red, and she became excited, “We’re just practicing our fists together, not sleeping together like your dirty mind suggests!”
Chided, Li Qianfan protested his innocence, “Instructor Ye, it’s wrong for you to scold me. In most people’s minds, dual cultivation does refer to sleeping together, doesn’t it? So, other than sleeping, how else can one perform dual cultivation? I’m very curious.”
Seeing Li Qianfan’s innocent look,
Ye Ling’er explained, “Dual cultivation has many forms, not just physical merging. There is also soul dual cultivation, cultivation techniques dual cultivation, martial arts dual cultivation, to name a few. Anyway, ours is not the physical merging kind.”
Hearing so much from Ye Ling’ er, Li Qianfan’s knowledge was certainly broadened. After inheriting the “Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill”, he had thought dual cultivation was only about ‘sleeping’; he hadn’t realized there were so many other forms.
However, the dual cultivation method in Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill involved legitimate physical merging.
Li Qianfan asked, “Then I would like to know, which type are we looking into?”
Ye Ling’er seriously said, “From childhood, my grandfather taught me a martial art called Dragon Phoenix Fist. This technique is divided into two sets, men practice Dragon Fist and women practice Phoenix Fist. Both sets complement each other and are indispensable; meaning, to practice this technique, we must do it together.”
Is there really such an amazing martial art in the world?
Must men and women practice it together?
But soon, Li Qianfan understood; with mystical techniques such as the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill in the world, there certainly must be many wonderful martial techniques.
Both the Dragon and Phoenix Mystery Skill and Dragon Phoenix Fist contain the words ‘Dragon and Phoenix’.
This made Li Qianfan ponder whether there was any connection between the two.
“Li Qianfan, why are you silent?”
Seeing that Li Qianfan was not talking, Ye Ling’er urged him, “Do you intend to practice the Dragon Phoenix Fist?”
This pulled Li Qianfan back to reality. After snapping back to his senses, he smiled bitterly, “So, you wanted me to stay just to help you practice the Dragon Phoenix Fist.”
Her thoughts being transparent, Ye Ling’er felt a bit awkward, but maintained a serious face, “How can you say it’s all about helping me? Practicing Dragon Phoenix Fist is beneficial to you too—it’s not just any fist technique. You can directly practice the Dragon Fist and I’ll even be your free cultivation partner. It’s a win-win situation.”
“Is the Dragon Phoenix Fist that powerful?”
Li Qianfan asked about what mattered most to him.
After all, he was a second layer Qi refining cultivator; if it was just a normal technique, he honestly didn’t want to pursue it as it would be a waste of his time.
“My grandfather said that Dragon Phoenix Fist was created by a very powerful cultivator”
Ye Ling’er seriously stated, “Only a true cultivator can unleash the greatest power of Dragon Phoenix Fist. Though we are not powerful cultivators ourselves and can’t unleash its full potential, it’s still stronger than any ordinary technique.”
A technique created by a cultivator!
Instantly, Li Qianfan grew intensely interested. Although he had become a cultivator, he always lacked a handy martial technique. Having Dragon Phoenix Fist would allow him to maximize his True Qi.
Thinking this, Li Qianfan didn’t hesitate and immediately replied, “Okay, I’m willing to help you practice. But first, I want to know, how do we practice this technique?”
Ye Ling’er said, “Before I met you, I practiced Phoenix Fist alone and never really explored the method of dual cultivation fists. Let me find out the method first, then I’ll tell you.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your message!”

Li Qianfan suddenly thought of something important and asked, “By the way, I heard that the main style practiced at Four Seas Martial Pavilion is the Ferocious Tiger Fist. Does the master allow us to practice other styles?”
“Of course he does. The master even encourages us to explore other ideas. Although Ferocious Tiger Fist is formidable, it’s not suitable for everyone. What suits one is the most important,”
Ye Ling’er explained seriously.
“Master Qin’s vision is truly broad.” Li Qianfan’s impression of Qin Sihai had increasingly improved. Although this old man held a high status in the martial arts world, he never relied on his position to force the younger generation into doing things they didn’t want to. There was a reason this old man had come this far.
“Master Qin is a very good person.”
Ye Ling’er said, “Oh, there’s something I need to tell you. Other than the tutors, who need to come to the pavilion daily, students aren’t required to come every day; you only need to come three days a week if you’re not on a mission. Of course, if you want to come every day, that’s also an option.”
Li Qianfan asked, “Do students get a salary during their training period?”
Ye Ling’er rolled her eyes, “The pavilion doesn’t charge you tuition, which is already pretty good, and you’re thinking about getting a salary? You only get a salary once you are capable of undertaking missions, and you’ve just joined the pavilion and aren’t qualified to accept missions!”
Curious, Li Qianfan asked, “So how does one become qualified to accept missions?”
Ye Ling’er patiently explained, “If you want to take on missions, you have to pass the master’s assessment, which is quite straightforward. He will select five out of ten tutors to spar with you, and if at least three tutors think you are good enough, then you can start taking on missions. However, as your tutor, I can’t assess you!”
Actually, Li Qianfan was already in a position to go through the assessment now.
However, Li Qianfan considered that going for the assessment now would be too high-profile, so he decided to wait for a while.
Before he could take on missions, he had to return to work at the massage parlor for a while.
“Okay, then I’ll come three days a week.”
Li Qianfan continued, “When I’m qualified to accept missions, I’ll come more often each week.”
“Up to you,” Ye Ling’er said indifferently. “As long as you collaborate with me on practicing the Dragon Phoenix Fist.”
Hearing this, Li Qianfan felt rather used by Ye Ling’er, but thinking about being able to practice the Dragon Phoenix Fist made him feel better.
The most crucial thing was that he would get to practice the technique together with Ye Ling’er.
He just didn’t know what the method of dual cultivation was.
After Li Qianfan left, Ye Ling’er immediately took out her phone and called her grandfather. She said, “Grandpa, I found the man you mentioned who has ‘True Qi’ inside him. He can help me cultivate the Dragon Phoenix Fist. Now, can you tell me the cultivation technique?”
“It seems your destined partner has finally arrived!”
A voice full of magnetism responded over the phone, “Break the wooden box I gave you. Inside it, you’ll find the method for dual cultivation.”
“Grandpa, don’t joke around. How could he be my destined partner? He’s just an applicant at Four Seas Martial Pavilion. No tutor accepted him, so I did. We just want to purely cultivate Dragon Phoenix Fist,”
Ye Ling’er explained her relationship with Li Qianfan with a serious face.
“Okay, I got it.”
Before hanging up, her grandfather said, “By the way, bring this young man over for a meal sometime; I want to see what this cultivator of the Dragon Fist is like.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Ye Ling’er couldn’t wait to head over to her desk, where she pulled out the wooden box her grandfather had given her and took out two manuals. She then lifted the box and smashed it on the ground.
With a ‘crack,’ the wooden box instantly shattered.
A square-folded piece of paper emerged among the debris.
Seeing this, Ye Ling’er’s face lit up with surprise, and she immediately squatted down to pick up the paper. After browsing the dual cultivation technique, her face turned red, looking as enchanting as a blooming rose, captivating to behold.
This method was embarrassingly intimate…
