Chapter 299: Dual Cultivation Miraculous Achievement

The three of them walked along the stone wall, and the light of the Ice Mirror and the Fire Spirit Sword illuminated the road ahead.

Liu Ruyan played with the Fire Spirit Sword as she walked, waving it from time to time, sending flames flying everywhere.

"Stop playing around." Zi Xiao frowned, "Be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Ruyan curled her lips. "With these two magical weapons in hand, I'm not afraid even if ten big, stupid guys like Tieshan come."

The Saint suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."

She raised the ice mirror, and ripples appeared on its surface. A blue light shot out, illuminating the stone wall in front of her.

A line of ancient characters appeared on the stone wall.

"This is..." Liu Ruyan leaned in to take a closer look. "What does it mean?"

The Saint Girl carefully identified it: "Ice and fire together, yin and yang united..."

"Dual cultivation technique?" Zi Xiao's eyes lit up.

"That's right." The Saint nodded. "This is a secret dual cultivation method that requires a practitioner with both ice and fire attributes to perform."

Liu Ruyan's eyes rolled. "Doesn't that mean we can practice together?"

"In theory, it is possible." The Saint said, "But this kind of practice..."

Before she could finish her words, the Ice Mirror and the Fire Spirit Sword suddenly vibrated at the same time.

The two magical instruments emitted dazzling light, forming a Tai Chi pattern.

"What's going on?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.

"The instruments are resonating," the Saint said. "It seems this technique is related to these two instruments."

She took out the jade slip and sensed it for a moment: "So that's how it is. These two magical instruments are meant to be a pair. They need to be practiced through this technique to unleash their maximum power."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Liu Ruyan said excitedly, "Let's start practicing now!"

The Saint hesitated and said, "But..."

"What's there to hesitate about?" Liu Ruyan said, "We need to find a way out anyway, so why not practice the technique first?"

Zi Xiao looked around: "It's indeed safer here, and I'm guarding outside."

The Saint thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

She drew a Tai Chi pattern on the ground, which completely overlapped with the light formed by the magic weapon.

"You sit here." The Saint pointed to the Yang position, "I'll sit in the Yin position."

The two women sat cross-legged at either end of the Tai Chi diagram. The Ice Mirror and Fire Spirit Sword hovered before them, emitting a faint glow.

"Remember," the Saint said, "we must practice the techniques simultaneously to maintain the balance of ice and fire."

Liu Ruyan nodded: "I understand."

The two women closed their eyes and began to practice their skills. Cold air and fire intertwined on the Tai Chi diagram, forming a perfect cycle.

Zi Xiao was watching intently from the side. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

The icy blue cold and the fiery red flames intertwined together, but did not cancel each other out, but instead formed a wonderful balance.

Gradually, the two forces began to merge. The light from the Ice Mirror and the Fire Spirit Sword grew brighter and brighter, until they completely merged together, forming a purple light.

"This..." Zi Xiao was surprised to find that the aura of the two women was also rising.

The coldness in the saint's body became more condensed, and the fire in Liu Ruyan's body became purer.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from a distance. Zi Xiao looked towards the direction of the sound with vigilance.

An old man in a gray robe came over, holding a cane in his hand, looking quite ordinary.

But Zixiao felt an unfathomable aura from him.

"Interesting." The old man looked at the two women who were practicing, "I didn't expect to see this scene here."

"Senior, are you..." Zi Xiao asked warily.

"Don't be nervous." The old man smiled and said, "I am Xuanji, the guardian of this secret place."

"Xuan Ji?" Zi Xiao was startled. "Is that the one who left the jade slip?"

"That's right." Xuan Ji nodded, "I've been waiting here for many years, just waiting for the right person."

He looked at the two girls and said, "These two girls were able to obtain the magical instruments and master them at the same time, and were able to comprehend the method of dual cultivation. It seems that they have a strong connection with this secret realm."

"Senior, the destined person you are talking about is..." Before Zi Xiao finished speaking, Xuan Ji waved his hand.

"No rush, let them finish practicing the technique first." Xuan Ji said, sitting down on a stone nearby, "This technique is called 'Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique', which I accidentally obtained when I was young.

It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to find a suitable successor.”

Zi Xiao looked at the purple light surrounding the two women: "This light is..."

"It represents the harmony of yin and yang," Xuan Ji explained. "The Ice Mirror and Fire Spirit Sword are originally a pair of magical instruments. Only by practicing this technique can their true power be unleashed."

He looked at Zi Xiao: "You are not simple, you can cultivate to this level at this age."

Zi Xiao quickly shook his head: "Senior, you are too kind. I just..."

"Huh?" Xuan Ji suddenly stood up. "Interesting."

Suddenly, the purple light in the Tai Chi diagram surged, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

The bodies of the Saint and Liu Ruyan floated up at the same time and hung in the air.

The Ice Mirror and Fire Spirit Sword also flew up and circled above the two women's heads.

The icy blue cold air and the fiery red flames intertwined together to form a huge cocoon of light that wrapped the two women inside.

"This is..." Zi Xiao said in surprise.

"Breakthrough." Xuan Ji smiled, "These two girls really have good aptitude. They were able to break through in their first training session."

Waves came from the light cocoon, and two completely different forces intertwined and merged in it.

Gradually, the light cocoon began to shrink and finally completely sank into the bodies of the two women.

"Huh..." Liu Ruyan opened her eyes, "So comfortable!"

The Saint also opened her eyes, with a blush on her face: "It is indeed wonderful."

"Congratulations, fellow Taoists." Xuanji came over with a cane, "You have achieved minor success in your cultivation technique."

"You are..." Liu Ruyan looked at Xuan Ji warily.

"This is Senior Xuanji," Zi Xiao introduced. "He's the one who left the jade slip."

"It's you, senior!" The two women saluted quickly.

Xuan Ji waved his hand, "No need for formalities. The fact that you have been able to obtain the artifact's recognition as your master and comprehend the method of dual cultivation shows that you have a connection with this secret realm.

I will pass on this "Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique" to you."

"Thank you, senior!" The two women were overjoyed.

"However..." Xuan Ji changed the subject, "This technique still has subsequent methods of cultivation."

"Follow-up?" Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. "What is it?"

Xuan Ji pointed to the depths of the stone chamber and said, “There is a secret room there, which contains the complete set of skills.

but..."

He looked at the two women and said, “To open the secret room, you two need to act at the same time.

Moreover, there are some tests in it.”

"What test?" asked the saint.

"I don't know about that either." Xuan Ji said, "The secret room was left over from ancient times, and I can't get in."

Liu Ruyan rubbed her hands together, "Whatever the test is, let's go and see!"

The Saint nodded: "Now that I have obtained the magic weapon and the technique, I must practice it to perfection."

"Okay." Xuan Ji said, "I'll take you there."

The four of them walked deeper into the stone chamber. On the way, Xuan Ji explained some key points of the "Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique" to the two women.

It turns out that this technique can not only enhance cultivation, but also enable two practitioners to communicate with each other's minds.

"No wonder I could sense the Saint's thoughts when I was practicing just now."

Liu Ruyan suddenly understood.

The Saint coughed lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Haha." Xuan Ji laughed, "That's normal. As your cultivation becomes more advanced, the connection between you will become closer and closer."

After walking for a while, Xuan Ji stopped and said, "We're here."

Ahead was a stone wall with intricate patterns carved into it. In the center of the patterns was a Tai Chi pattern, exactly the same as the one the two women had drawn during their training.

"Put the magic weapon on it and try it." Xuan Ji said.

The Saint and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their magical instruments. The light from the Ice Mirror and Fire Spirit Sword shone upon the Tai Chi diagram, and the stone wall immediately glowed with a dazzling light.

"Boom!" The stone wall slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black hole.

"Go in," Xuan Ji said, "Remember, no matter what you encounter, you must maintain a balance between ice and fire."

The two women nodded and walked into the cave entrance. Zi Xiao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xuan Ji.

"Let them seize their own opportunities," Xuan Ji said.

Zi Xiao had no choice but to stop and watch the two women disappear into the darkness.

"Senior." Zi Xiao asked, "Will they be in danger?"

Xuan Ji shook his head: "No. This secret room is specially prepared for those who practice the "Ice and Fire Dual Cultivation Technique".

As long as they can maintain a mutual understanding, there will be no problem.”

He looked at Zixiao: "But you seem to care about them?"

Zi Xiao blushed: "I..."

"Don't worry." Xuan Ji smiled, "These two girls are very lucky. Maybe they can get unexpected gains in the secret room."

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the secret room: "This is..."
