Chapter 282 Such a Good Thing Happened
(Sorry for the late update today, I had something to do.)
"Fellow Daoist Li, if I told you that I have never practiced any cultivation techniques during this period, would you... believe me?" Guo Huaifu swallowed hard, met Du Fan's sharp gaze, and said weakly.
"Guo Huaifu, you have to take responsibility for what you said. What you just said... was it true?" Du Fan's expression was quite interesting at this moment. It was hard to tell whether he was excited or angry. His facial muscles were twisted, and he looked a bit like someone who was constipated.
"It is absolutely true. If there is even the slightest falsehood, may I, Guo Huaifu, immediately perish, my body torn to pieces, my soul scattered!" Guo Huaifu said with an unprecedented solemnity, each word deliberate and resolute.
"Okay, I believe you."
Du Fan waved his hand weakly, remained silent for a moment, then frowned slightly and continued somewhat unwillingly, "So what have you been doing all this time? You can't expect to gain cultivation points just by eating a meal or breaking through after a nap..."
Guo Huaifu pondered seriously for a while, and after a moment, as if he had thought of something, his face turned slightly red, and he said shyly:
"It's not as exaggerated as Fellow Daoist Li described, but I've vaguely noticed that my cultivation level improves imperceptibly every time I've slept with a woman. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li has ever had a similar experience?"
"What did you just say?" Du Fan immediately opened his mouth wide and looked at Guo Huaifu in disbelief. He even doubted whether he had misheard.
"Ahem, what I mean is, after we parted ways that day, apart from sleeping with some women, I didn't do anything else particularly special." Guo Huaifu coughed awkwardly and patiently described it to Du Fan again in a different way.
This time, Du Fan understood completely. Speechless, a ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Such a good thing exists in the world? For the sake of cultivation and survival, should I also make a sacrifice...?"
"How many women have you slept with during this time?" For some reason, Du Fan asked this question as if possessed, and after saying it, he was even a little embarrassed.
"Well... since Fellow Daoist Li is interested, I'll tell you about it without hesitation."
"Starting from the second day after we separated, I've averaged a dozen or so a day. All told, I've slept with at least four or five hundred women during this time." Guo Huaifu hesitated only for a moment before winking and saying this, his expression revealing a hint of smugness.
"What? A dozen or so a day, four or five hundred in total!" Du Fan was stunned, his eyes becoming somewhat dazed.
"Hehe, and these five hundred-plus young ladies are all unique. After I've had my way with one, I move on to the next one." Guo Huaifu chuckled, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, clearly still feeling unsatisfied.
"Only one time with a woman?" Du Fan's lips twitched, and he murmured with a hint of envy.
"Let alone Fellow Daoist Li, I also have doubts about this matter. I don't know why, but after I slept with one woman, I lost all interest in her and just wanted to move on to the next one."
In this way, every time I finished, my cultivation would improve without me even realizing it, and even breakthroughs in my realm came about in this way.
When my cultivation broke through to the first level of Qi Refining, I felt a boom in my mind, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time and didn't know that I had broken through. It wasn't until my cultivation broke through to the second level of Qi Refining that I vaguely felt something was wrong, because the signs of the flow of magic power in my body were already very obvious!
I was startled and quickly pushed those young women aside. I immediately used my divine sense to examine my inner self and discovered that my cultivation level had reached the second level of the Qi Refining stage...
Fellow Daoist Li, your cultivation is profound and your knowledge extensive. Could you possibly determine what has happened to me? Have I been poisoned by some strange poison, or perhaps by some legendary curse-like secret technique? Guo Huaifu's expression was relatively normal at first, but by the end, his face had turned rather grim.
Du Fan rolled his eyes inwardly. This guy had broken through his cultivation level without even realizing it, and only realized it after his second breakthrough... He was utterly astonished that such a bizarre thing could exist in this world.
"What kind of strange poison is this! If there really is such a poison, then let me be poisoned by it too! A curse-type secret technique? I'll curse you right now so you'll never be able to get hard again!" Du Fan suddenly felt extremely frustrated and couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly jumped up, pointed at Guo Huaifu's nose, and cursed loudly.
Du Fan even suspected that this guy had come here specifically to annoy him...
Seeing that the other party was truly embarrassed and angry, Guo Huaifu wisely shut his mouth and stopped saying anything more.
After a long pause, Du Fan, still fuming, suddenly had a thought. His eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Yin-Yang Spiritual Root!"
"What did Fellow Daoist Li say?" Guo Huaifu was taken aback.
"I mean, the spiritual root you possess is very likely a Yin-Yang spiritual root!" Du Fan said with a slightly rapid breathing and a solemn expression as he stared at Guo Huaifu.
Seeing the other person's puzzled expression, Du Fan was about to ask something when he suddenly waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't ask so many questions yet. This is just my guess, and we need to verify it before we can be sure."
"How do we verify it?" A hint of confusion flashed in Guo Huaifu's eyes.
"If you truly possess the Yin-Yang spiritual root, you can cultivate the Five Elements spells. I happen to have two minor Five Elements spells with the attributes of metal and water here, which I will teach you. If you can cultivate them, the spiritual root you possess... will most likely be the Yin-Yang spiritual root." Du Fan glanced at Guo Huaifu and said this.
"Everything is up to Fellow Daoist Li!" Guo Huaifu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
Two hours later, the two had finished their tests. Du Fan sat on a wooden chair with his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, while Guo Huaifu remained silent, though the tension on his face was unmistakable.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, I am now 90% certain that the spiritual root you possess is the Yin-Yang spiritual root! However, something is a bit strange..." After a long while, Du Fan's eyes flashed as he looked at Guo Huaifu and said in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist Li, is there a problem with my spiritual root? Please tell me frankly." Guo Huaifu was initially delighted upon hearing this, but when he heard the latter half of the other party's words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His expression changed, and he hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting.
"Whether there's a problem or not is hard to say. However, among Yin-Yang spiritual roots, male cultivators are basically all Yang spiritual roots. But how could a Yang spiritual root cultivator have kidney deficiency? Fellow Daoist is even born with kidney Yang deficiency... This matter is somewhat strange, and I have never heard of it in my life." Du Fan showed a strange expression and looked at Guo Huaifu with a half-smile.
"Why can't a cultivator with a Yang spiritual root have kidney deficiency?" Guo Huaifu's face flushed instantly, and he stammered as he asked.
"Cultivators with Yin-Yang spiritual roots are somewhat special compared to other types of cultivators. They mainly improve their cultivation through dual cultivation between men and women, and the speed of their cultivation improvement is extremely fast. This is the main reason why I suspected that you possessed this kind of spiritual root."
When a male cultivator with a Yang spiritual root engages in dual cultivation with a female, he absorbs her Yin essence to replenish his own Yang essence, thereby transforming his magical power and enhancing his cultivation level. This is the method of absorbing Yin to replenish Yang.
"But replenishing yang by absorbing yin also requires the foundation of primordial yang. You already have kidney deficiency, so what kind of yin are you trying to absorb?" Du Fan rolled his eyes and patiently explained it to the other party in a simple way.
In Du Fan's view, Guo Huaifu's situation was truly extraordinary. The other party's body was not enough yang energy and was full of yin energy. It would be more accurate to say that he was replenishing his yin energy by absorbing yin energy.
But... this doesn't make sense either. Taoism says, "Isolated yang cannot produce, solitary yin cannot grow..." Leaving aside whether this phenomenon conforms to the laws of nature, if it's only yin, how can this guy even play? The key point is... he can't get an erection! Ugh, this is too wicked...
Du Fan shook his head violently, quickly dismissing the thought, and continued to ponder.
If one wants to conform to the laws of heaven and earth, theoretically there is only one explanation: Guo Huaifu must possess... a Yin Spirit Root that is unprecedented and unparalleled among male cultivators!
But... that doesn't seem to make sense either. A Yin Spirit Root should absorb Yang energy to nourish Yin energy. If it absorbs Yang energy, it would need to... you know... with men. But this guy doesn't seem like he's into homosexuality...
Du Fan felt his brain was not working properly. His mind was buzzing, and he was extremely tired. He often felt dazed, and even his face looked a little haggard.
"This matter is extremely profound and beyond my comprehension." In the end, Du Fan could only console himself with this thought.
"Fellow Daoist Li, forgive my ignorance, but is this Yin-Yang spiritual root... a type of unusual spiritual root?" Upon seeing the other party's demeanor, Guo Huaifu could no longer sit still and, after a moment's thought, couldn't help but ask.
"That's not right. Different spiritual roots refer to the five elements spiritual roots."
For example, the Wind Spirit Root is a type of Different Spirit Root. It is called that because the Wind Spirit Root is evolved from a mutation of the Five Elements Spirit Root. Therefore, the essence of Different Spirit Root still belongs to the category of Five Elements Spirit Root. Du Fan shook his head and said weakly.
Then, the two fell silent, once again falling into an eerie atmosphere.
After a moment, Du Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "You just mentioned the different spiritual roots, which makes me think of something. Since the wind spiritual root is a product of the mutation of the five elements spiritual roots, then the spiritual root you possess may also be a product of the mutation of the yin and yang spiritual roots. If that's the case, then it makes sense."
