Chapter 84: Cultivating Together
“Cultivation method…”
Yu Beixuan suddenly realized that his train of thought had once again been led along by Si Er.
When he mentioned the black spider earlier, he had actually intended to bring up his cultivation technique.
“Ever since I devoured that black spider’s divine soul, a cultivation method automatically formed in my mind.”
“I don’t know how it came into being. It just appeared all of a sudden. It’s called the Art of Darkness.”
Yu Beixuan felt the name wasn’t particularly pleasant and had never told anyone about it before.
But while he felt he couldn’t tell others, he could tell Si Er.
“The Art of Darkness?” Si Er’s eyes lit up. “I also inexplicably gained a cultivation method in my mind before. It’s called the Art of Light.”
“I wonder if these two methods are connected somehow. How about we try cultivating together?”
Yu Beixuan grew curious at the suggestion and nodded. “Alright. Let’s give it a try.”
The two of them each found a flat patch of ground in the courtyard and began meditating.
Si Er sat beneath the night sky, choosing the brightest stretch of the starry river overhead.
Yu Beixuan, meanwhile, sat beneath the shade of a tree and even had Yu Beiying spread his great wings to block out the light entirely, preventing even a single ray from touching him.
Once fully immersed in cultivation, light-attributed spiritual energy began to spill from Si Er’s body, while dark demonic power emanated from Yu Beixuan.
Guagua reacted swiftly. Before either force could spill beyond the small courtyard, it activated the courtyard’s restriction array, sealing all the energy inside.
Even so, it felt a little nervous—afraid the barrier might not be sturdy enough and that Yu Beixuan’s demonic power might leak out.
But on second thought, perhaps it wasn’t so bad?
Yu Beixuan’s demonic power originated from orthodox demons. While it had a certain suppressive effect on spiritual energy, it was even more effective at restraining chaotic negative forces.
As long as it wasn’t used maliciously, it wouldn’t cause irreparable harm to human cultivators. Compared to baleful energy and the like, it was far gentler.
It just had the unfortunate side effect of making people relive the saddest memories of their lives.
Still… that shouldn’t be too serious, right?
Guagua kept reassuring itself—until it quickly realized the problem truly wasn’t serious at all.
Because neither force was leaking outward.
First, Yu Beixuan’s darkness swallowed Si Er’s light. Then Si Er’s light dispelled Yu Beixuan’s darkness. Their powers exchanged blows back and forth in perfect balance, until gradually they became distinct yet harmonious, forming a circular pattern reminiscent of yin and yang.
Guagua stared, dumbfounded.
It looked left, then right, unable to believe its eyes.
Why were their powers so complementary—and so harmonious together?
When they cultivated separately, they could already enhance one another. If they dual cultivated…
No! Don’t think about that!
Er’er is still young!
…Though maybe it wasn’t entirely impossible to think about?
For their powers to harmonize to this extent meant their physiques were also highly compatible.
People with compatible physiques could achieve twice the results with half the effort in dual cultivation!
And honestly, with physiques like theirs, it would be a waste not to enter a proper cultivation world. Guagua felt they could absolutely join hands and roam the cultivation realm together.
After all, in the cultivation world, one spoke of wealth, companion, method, and land. They already had cultivation methods. But without wealth or territory, they’d have to rely on a companion to make up for it, wouldn’t they?
Guagua indulged in its fantasies for a moment before shaking its head vigorously.
No, no. It couldn’t think so much.
It was just a pure and innocent little rabbit. It couldn’t make such decisions for Er’er. Everything had to depend on Er’er’s own wishes.
Si Er had always believed cultivation was an intensely private matter—something that could only achieve its greatest benefit when done alone.
If someone else was nearby, even at a distance, it should have been difficult to proceed smoothly.
But strangely enough, with another person beside him, his cultivation felt even smoother.
This was the first time he had been so immersed in cultivation, so absorbed that he only emerged from that mysterious, perfect state when dawn broke.
Because once daylight arrived, Yu Beixuan could no longer cultivate that technique.
The moment Yu Beixuan withdrew from his meditative state, Si Er was forced to withdraw as well.
Yet Si Er remained excited, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Yu Beixuan.
“Xuanxuan, from now on, whenever the moon is especially bright—or the stars are especially brilliant—let’s cultivate together.”
“The moonlight and starlight at night shouldn’t affect you too much, right?”
Yu Beixuan nodded. “Not too much. A little occlusion is enough.”
Even without blocking it, he could still cultivate normally—but covering it completely felt more comfortable.
“But during the day, I won’t be able to practice this technique.”
Si Er sighed. “That’s such a pity. I really hoped we could cultivate together every day.”
Yu Beixuan smiled. “Not every day—but every night.”
After saying that, he paused. Somehow, “every night” sounded a little strange.
Si Er nodded with a grin. “Then we’ll cultivate together every night. Cultivation can replace sleep anyway.”
To survive better, it’s fine to work a little harder when we’re young.
Of course, I can’t handle exhausting hard work—but comfortable effort like this? The more, the better!
Though ‘every night’ sounds…
Ah, it’s all because I read too many web novels back then. Now my head’s full of titles like ‘The Domineering CEO Dotes Every Night’…
But Xuanxuan isn’t some domineering CEO, and we’re doing proper things.
Cultivating together every night as friends is perfectly proper, right?
Wait! My thoughts are drifting again!
Si Er quickly shook his head, pulling his wandering thoughts back.
“Let’s make plans for tonight again. For now, we should tidy up and head to class.”
“Alright.” Yu Beixuan nodded, then tugged lightly at Si Er’s sleeve. “But Er’er, give me some spirit stones.”
“I think I can use the time when I zone out in class to help you absorb some of that baleful energy.”
Si Er burst out laughing. “Who says they’re going to zone out in class so righteously?”
Yu Beixuan smiled. “I’m just stating facts.”
“Besides, this month’s experimental courses include many subjects we’re not good at.”
“Instead of sitting there blankly listening to something incomprehensible, we might as well do something useful.”
“Fair enough.”
Si Er felt Yu Beixuan’s reasoning made perfect sense. He directly handed over one of the storage rings containing spirit stones.
“Then I’ll leave these to you, Xuanxuan. Absorb as much as you can.”
“But if you get indigestion, you have to tell me!”
“Alright.” Yu Beixuan nodded with a smile. He glanced at the storage ring and added teasingly, “But aren’t there too many spirit stones in here? Aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with the money?”
“Of course not! I think Xuanxuan is a very upright and good classmate. You’d definitely never do something like that.”
Yu Beixuan: “……”
Just earlier, you thought I was some terrifying big villain.
