Chapter 633 How can this be considered dual cultivation?
The space of the magic circle is like an extremely huge vertical shaft, bottomless and seems to lead directly to the underworld.
The Yin Qi in the well was like a tide, as thick as ink. It was no longer a stream of air, but more like a viscous liquid.
"White Paper City on Black Water Mountain..." Ning Zhuo, who saw this scene, suddenly had an idea and thought of the name of the White Paper Fairy City that was spread outside.
The wall of the well was as smooth as a mirror, neither stone nor jade, and seemed to be constructed purely from a magic array.
The negative energy like black water rolled and roared in the well, sometimes rolling up black waves several feet high, and making dull thunder-like noises when hitting each other.
Yang Wenning and the other two stood at the edge of the well, and they all felt the bone-chilling cold brought by the "black water". The chill was beyond ice and snow, penetrating into the bone marrow, suppressing even their own yang energy, and even freezing the flow of their spiritual power.
And in this angry tide of evil energy, a figure was floating quietly, it was the Lord of Baizhi City.
She did not go with the flow, but slowly rose and fell in the raging black tide in an almost frozen posture with supreme majesty.
She had a standard oval face, but her skeleton was extremely clear and strong, her cheekbones were as high as a knife, and her jawline was distinct and powerful. Even when she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she exuded an unquestionable determination and hardness.
Her beauty was like two long, sharp swords, slanting down into her temples. Her black eyebrows were stained with a layer of silver-grey, like steel covered in frost.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and the shape of her eyes was narrow and sharp. Even when they were closed, the curvature of her eyeliner was like a carefully drawn ink mark, with the tail tip sharply rising, outlining power, arrogance and a sense of scrutiny.
Her lips were thin and thin, with a distinct lip peak. They should have been a sharp cinnabar color, but now they were a lifeless light gray-purple, like withered wisteria petals, tightly pursed. Even in a coma, she maintained a cold and aloof look that kept people at a distance.
She has a tall and straight figure with a well-proportioned frame. Even when lying flat, she exudes a sense of toughness and strength.
Her long hair spread out, shining black, not even the black water tide could cover it. At the ends of her hair, the black gradually transitioned to a strange blue. Occasionally, tiny, ice-blue Yin Qi crystals flickered like stars between her hair, and then quickly disappeared in the thick waves of hair.
"My Lord City Lord..." Wen Ruanyu sighed.
After such a long time, he finally saw the city lord's real body, but the latter was obviously in a bad condition and there was no way he could wake up.
Yang Sanyan narrowed his eyes. It was the first time he met the current mayor of Baizhi Immortal City.
Even though he had a broad vision and a cold heart, he was captivated by the charming face of the Lord of White Paper City.
This was the moment when she was unconscious. It was hard to imagine what kind of aloof and strong woman she would look like when she opened her eyes.
The negative energy in the well was boiling and beating like thunder.
The White Paper City Lord at the center was like the amber of time. All the violence within a few feet of her body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible absolute will that came from her, becoming sticky and slow.
The Lord of White Paper City was like a piece of black ice thrown into a sea of ink. Not only was he not corroded or melted, but he was madly assimilating and absorbing the energy that was enough to destroy everything.
Every slow rise and fall was like an unconscious breath on her part, swallowing the vast Yin energy into her body.
The skin she occasionally exposed was already covered in green, like the skin of a ghost. Combined with her majestic demeanor, it felt like she was meeting the Lord of the Underworld!
The City Lord's paper doppelganger sighed: "This is the current state of my original body. For the sake of the entire White Paper Fairy City, she took on most of the Yin energy in her body, so she fell into a coma many years ago and is difficult to wake up."
Wen Ruanyu stared at him with a heavy expression: "The Lord City Lord was originally a cultivator in the Yang world, and the Yang energy in his body should be much greater than the Yin energy. But now, because he carries too much Yin energy, his life is almost hanging by a thread!"
"What should I do?"
The paper man's clone shook his head: "I have secretly thought of countless ways, but none of them worked. The main reason is that the main body is dying, and the means cannot be strong. If the balance is slightly disrupted, this fragile state will fall apart, and the main body will die instantly!"
"However, if the means are not strong, how can they be effective against this dark tide that is as strong as a mountain or a sea?"
As if he had been feeling depressed for too long and suddenly found someone to confide in, the paper man clone continued to complain: "Over the years, for the sake of the overall interests of the Immortal City, I have been hiding my true situation and sealing my original body here."
"As a last resort, my clone will play the role of the real person to deal with certain situations."
Yang Sanyan frowned.
If the original body is in this condition and cannot be awakened at all, how can a divine contract be signed?
If the contract is signed only with the clone, the binding force will be greatly reduced.
"The sect's intelligence is correct."
"The current Lord of White Paper City is an ambitious woman with a strong desire for control. She is in such a difficult and dangerous situation, but she is still unwilling to give up her power and has persisted in it secretly for so many years."
If this situation were to be leaked, the position of the Lord of Baizhi City would inevitably face multiple challenges.
Her original form is difficult to fight and it would be very easy for her to be deposed as city lord.
Yang Sanyan took out the divine contract and said, "City Lord, I didn't expect your situation to be so dire. If your true body cannot be awakened and this divine contract is signed, it will be difficult for us to gain the most basic trust!"
“How can this problem be solved?”
The paper man clone had a bitter look on his face and shook his head slowly.
Wen Ruanyu suddenly said, "So that's why the city lord is so eager to recruit male concubines."
"Because the main body is unconscious, only by letting others practice dual cultivation, with the other party taking the lead, can the yin and yang blend and reduce the yin burden of the main body of the city lord."
"Moreover, the dual cultivation of yin and yang is mysterious and extraordinary, and is the great principle of heaven and earth. Even if the yin energy is as vast as the sea, it must be transformed obediently, rather than directly destroying it with a flood against the firewood."
The paper man clone continued, "But unfortunately, I have channeled the Yin Qi in my body to Cangyang Villa, Zhuangyang Courtyard, etc. according to the formation. Even if all the male concubines work together, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount of Yin Qi. It is only enough to maintain the near-death state."
"The yang energy of the Golden Swallow Fork is not dual cultivation, and is mixed with demonic energy. It is not suitable for my body at all."
"The reason why it is shown is just to give everyone something to think about and hope for."
Ning Zhuo's emotions were in turmoil for a while.
He thought of Sun Tiesheng, who ruined his own path because of this and was forced to transform into a half-human, half-demon.
How would Sun Tiesheng feel if he heard this?
Sun Tiesheng is already dead, and Shen Bing and Chen Sui also died because of the Golden Swallow Fork.
What would they think if they knew that this was just a trap set by the city lord?
Even Zheng Shoumo was fooled.
He took action again and again because of the Golden Swallow Fork's recognition of its master, but because he acted hastily, he revealed his flaws, which allowed Ning Zhu to catch him.
But speaking of it, Ning Zhuo was also the one who added fuel to the flames in this regard.
If it weren't for him and Wen Ruanyu's plan, they wouldn't have established the Spirit Contract Treasure Refining Array in Zhuangyang Courtyard with such a grand momentum.
"Then what about Li Xiangshang?" Ning Zhu's heart moved.
Li Xiangshang was sent by the White-shou Dragon King.
"The White-shou Dragon Lord first sent Jin Yangzi, and later sent Li Xiangshang. How much does he know, and what kind of agreement does he have with the Lord of Baizhi City?"
"Whether Li Xiangshang was also the one who fanned the flames, he just didn't know it himself."
When Ning Zhuo thought of this, he had a new understanding of the mysterious situation in Baizhi Fairy City.
The real big picture is the century-old conspiracy of Lord Wangchuan. Under the great ceremony of the Heavenly Ghost Transformation, the White Paper Immortal City has been designated as a place for blood sacrifice.
"My mother knew this news from Old Man Gray Bone, but she did not inform the Lord of White Paper City."
"So, does the Lord of White Paper City know about this?"
On the chessboard of Lord Wangchuan, the Lord of Baizhi City is a chess piece, and Baizhi Fairy City is the prey he wants to attack. On the chessboard of Lord Baizhi City, the Golden Swallow Fork is her prop, and Sangle Youling, Wen Ruanyu, and even Ning Zhuo are all her chess pieces. Sun Tiesheng, Shen Bing, Chen Sui and many other male concubines are her abandoned pieces. Li Xiangshang should also be a chess piece, but it is difficult for Ning Zhuo to judge whether Baishou Longjun is one.
"I am not qualified to know what the mysterious organization is at the moment. Only after I join the Wanxiang Sect will I have a chance to follow up."
"The message my mother left behind allowed me to be a chess piece on the surface, but secretly have the potential to become a chess player."
"Yang Sanyan wants the city lord to sign the divine contract, which is beneficial to me."
The Lord of Baizhi City provided Ning Zhuo with generous support and rewards without hesitation, and was even generous in supporting the Qingjiao Army.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been completely devoted and loyal.
But Ning Zhuo is not an ordinary person.
He saw the situation clearly and also learned about the nature and character of the Lord of White Paper City.
Therefore, he decisively chose to stand with the Wanxiang Sect.
"Is the Lord of Baizhi City an accomplice of Zheng Shoumo?"
“This question is very critical!”
"If she is, I will never risk getting involved in the Heavenly Ghost Rebirth Tribulation Ceremony."
Because according to Yang Sanyan, Ning Zhuo's mother was probably murdered by a mysterious organization. Then, the message left by Meng Yaoyin was at a lower level than this mysterious organization.
It is even possible that the message she left behind had already been known to the mysterious organization and was simply kept secret.
Ning Zhuo thought about this and realized the key point: "We must wake up the city lord."
His thoughts made up, he acted decisively.
He immediately broke the silence and said, "It's not difficult to wake up the city lord."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Do you have a solution?" Yang Sanyan asked curiously.
Ning Zhuo cupped his hands, his face serious, and said solemnly: "I would like to let you know that I know a little bit about medicine. I have a trick that can solve the city lord's current embarrassing situation."
Yang Sanyan nodded decisively: "Then please show us your skills, little brother."
Wen Ruanyu looked forward to it.
The paper man clone groaned and said, "That's fine, but I have to supervise closely throughout the process."
"Of course." Ning Zhuo smiled, "My medical skills cannot be seen by outsiders."
"Please." The paper man clone extended his hand.
She controlled the magic circle, allowing the dark water to support her body and slowly float up to the wall of the well.
Ning Zhuo stood in front of the city lord's real body.
When he got closer, he realized that the city lord was very tall, almost nine feet tall.
He decisively reached out and approached the city lord's body.
When the distance was still three feet, Ning Zhuo felt as if his palm was being pricked by a needle.
The Yin energy contained in the city lord's body is so terrifying!
If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have died long ago. Only the Lord of White Paper City relied on his own talent to achieve such an exaggerated degree.
Ning Zhuo wisely stopped and pointed his palm at the city lord's body, three feet away.
The paper man clone, Yang Sanyan, and Wen Runyu all stared at Ning Zhuo's movements without blinking.
To the three people's surprise, Ning Zhuo did not use any medical skills, but directly spurted out a stream of yang energy from his palm.
The paper man clone immediately showed disappointment.
I thought Ning Zhuo could perform some mysterious medical skills, but I didn't expect it to be the same old practice of practicing both yin and yang.
"Ning Zhuo is only at the foundation-building stage. He has strong combat power, but he is still too young. How much Yang energy can he have?"
"Um?!"
The next moment, the paper man's expression changed.
She was surprised to see that after this yang energy gushed out, there was no need for Ning Zhuo to control it, nor did he need to preside over the dual cultivation. It actually went directly into the body of the Lord of Baizhi City, like a young swallow returning to its nest.
In this process, Yang energy quickly blends with Yin energy.
This fusion is incredibly fast and efficient, it's simply perfect!
Yang Sanyan and Wen Runyu, who noticed this scene, also showed surprise on their faces and looked at Ning Zhuo with admiration.
"How strange! What kind of method is this? The condensed Yang energy is extremely close to the main body, it's almost like the main body itself!" The city lord's clone exclaimed.
Wen Ruanyu nodded and praised: "Although my friend Ning Zhuo's cultivation is low, his methods are extraordinary and often surprise people."
Yang Sanyan: "Rather than calling it a medical skill, it's better to call it a dual cultivation method, right? I didn't expect that Ning Zhuo, you are so good at dual cultivation!"
"Cough, cough, cough." Ning Zhuo coughed repeatedly, "How can this be considered dual cultivation?"
"Exchanging the primordial yang and primordial yin is considered dual cultivation!"
"This is just me producing some cultivation resources for the city lord to use."
"Senior Yang, I will join the Wanxiang Sect in the future. I am still young, please don't ruin my reputation!"
Yang Sanyan blinked, "Your method is extremely mysterious! It seems that you can refine your own Yang Qi according to the object, so that it fits someone perfectly."
"Amazing!"
"If this were to be exposed, I wonder how many female cultivators would want to practice with you."
Ning Zhuo coughed twice again: "This method consumes my resources, it cannot be abused or used often. It's just that the current situation forces me to do this. I hope everyone present here will keep it a secret for me!"
Yang Sanyan: "I won't say anything."
Wen Ruanyu: "A gentleman keeps his mouth shut."
The Paper Man clone said, "You are worthy of being the savior of our Immortal City. Master Ning Zhuo, your methods are mysterious and often beyond our expectations. Alas, I am sorry for wasting your resources, and I will definitely pay you a lot this time! I hope you can do more to save my original body and the entire White Paper City."
Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and pretended to be trying his best.
He secretly activated the Demonic Blood-stained Tendon Technique, mobilized his own blood and energy, and made his face quickly turn pale.
In fact, the Yang energy he sprayed out came from the Yin-Yang Qi Pot, which was essentially the converted Yin energy of the Lord of Baizhi Immortal City and had little to do with him at all.
After a moment, the eyelids of the White Paper City Lord's real body loosened and slowly opened, and the first thing she saw was the big-headed boy who was practicing dual cultivation with her.
