The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Looking at Liliana Grey fast asleep, Greg Jensen climbed up contentedly, dressed himself, and sat down beside her to begin practicing the Guidance Technique.
Bereft of a suitable Dual Cultivation partner, he had set his sights on Liliana Grey, teaching her the Dual Cultivation Method from the âYin Yang Harmony Sutra.â
He had only wanted to give it a try, but Liliana Greyâs aptitude turned out to be exceptionally good.
After he guided her for a while, the True Qi within her body started to circulate on its own.
This time, the effects of their Dual Cultivation were more than ten times better than before!
Feeling the increase in True Qi within, Greg Jensen was overjoyed. A simple trial had brought him such a great surprise.
At this rate, he might not even need a month to directly breakthrough to the seventh layer of Qi Refinement.
It seemed that only Dual Cultivation with another cultivator would yield the best effects!
Moreover, when both parties operated the Dual Cultivation Technique, the effect would double once again.
Greg Jensen was secretly excited. After completing the Attraction Technique, he glanced at the voluptuous body on the bed and couldnât help but feel interested again.
Liliana Grey, although she had learned the Dual Cultivation Method, which was a matter of luck, had become stronger physically, but she felt somewhat exhausted mentally.
In her daze, she felt as light as a feather, drifting with the wind.
At times soaring to the clouds and then plunging down rapidly.
That floating sensation made her feel thoroughly relaxed. Although her body was soft, it was filled with vitality.
The moonlight was cold, but the temperature inside the house was gradually rising.
â¦
In the early morning, Liliana Grey slowly opened her eyes, stretched out lazily, turned her head, and met Greg Jensenâs smiling eyes.
âYouâre awake?â
Greg Jensen teased with a mischievous smile, âHow do you feel?â
âHmph, bad guy, tormenting me all night.â
Liliana Grey glared at him accusingly but then felt something amiss. She waved her arms vigorously and wondered,
âHey, why donât my arms hurt at all?â
Then, she moved her legs and found that they didnât hurt either. She was full of confusion as, in the past, she would feel sore and achy all over upon waking up.
Today, not only were there no aches, but she also felt full of energy.
âWhatâs going on?â
âDidnât I teach you a set of techniques last night? This is the benefit of that technique.â
Liliana Greyâs eyes lit up as she swung her little fists, âCan this technique be used to fight?â
Greg Jensen couldnât help but laugh and cry, âWhat are you thinking about? This technique is primarily used to improve physical fitness.â
âImprove physical fitness?â
Liliana Grey thought of something and blushed, spitting out, âHumph, what a lousy technique, so filthy.â
âHey, how is my technique filthy?â Greg Jensen responded discontentedly.
Liliana Grey said with a flushed face, âIsnât it filthy? My physical fitness has improved, but doesnât that benefit you?â
Greg Jensen laughed heartily, hinting mysteriously, âBesides enhancing physical fitness, my technique can also delay aging.â
âDelay aging? Really?â
Liliana Greyâs eyes immediately sparkled with little stars.
Greg Jensen feigned seriousness, âWhy would I lie to you? If you donât believe me, then you shouldnât practice it in the future.â
âNo, I want to practice! I want to start right now!â
Liliana Grey, like a boneless snake, wriggled into the bed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Having learned that Dual Cultivation Technique could beautify and nourish the complexion, Liliana Grey was as excited as if she had taken a stimulant. No matter the time or place, she wanted to practice as soon as she thought of it.
In the end, Greg Jensen didnât even have time to practice his Guidance Technique.
As the two of them continued to advance, the True Qi in Liliana Greyâs body grew visibly and rapidly.
Correspondingly, the benefits Greg Jensen gained from Dual Cultivation with her also gradually increased.
Seeing Liliana Grey as if possessed, Greg Jensen simply stopped going outâafter all, there wasnât much else to do.
The two of them spent all day sticking together in the courtyard house: eating, sleeping, and only going out to buy necessities, otherwise never leaving.
This led Lois Abbott, Vince Cooper, Ryan Lampe, and others to suspect that he had âmet with an accident.â
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and Greg Jensen was infinitely close to the seventh level of Qi Refinement; just one step away from a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the provincial capital had fallen into collective confusion.
Over this period, many people had heard the news of Fraser Simmonsâs recovery and his advancement to the status of a half-step Grandmaster.
However, the process of recovery and becoming a half-step Grandmaster was mythicized by the tales people told.
Some said the Simmons family had found a millennia-old medicine which not only cured Fraser Simmonsâs body but also allowed him to step into the realm of a half-step Grandmaster in one fell swoop.
Others asserted that Fraser Simmons had encountered a divine being who not only healed his illness but also guided him to become a half-step Grandmaster.
In any case, there were all sorts of stories.
The explanation of âencountering a divine beingâ certainly fitted the actual situation more closely, but without the Simmons family speaking up, no one could clarify the truth.
At the same time, the martial families were confused by the series of moves made by the Morris family.
The Morris family first mobilized all their resources to find a young man who had once been seen at the Simmons home.
After coming up empty-handed, they prepared several significant gifts and visited the Simmons family, only to be turned away by Mick Simmons.
In theory, with a half-step Grandmaster backing them, the Morris family should fear no feud with the Simmons family, even though he was not blood kin.
However, subsequent developments shocked everyone.
After Elliot Morris was driven away by Mick Simmons, the Morris family, instead of retaliating, prepared even more valuable gifts and sent their eldest son, Jasper Morris, to visit again.
By doing so, the Morris family had given the Simmons family ample face, but Mick Simmons was utterly unappreciative and turned Jasper Morris away again.
The Morris family had committed countless misdeeds during the years of the Simmons familyâs decline. Expecting himself to forgive them so easily was pure fantasy.
Moreover, Mick Simmons was crystal clear about their intentions.
Wasnât it just to find out how his father became a half-step Grandmaster?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was simple to state, but how could that be shared with outsiders?
Especially with the Morris family, a clan nearly equivalent to an enemy, it was even less likely to disclose anything to them.
With the Morris family taking the lead, other families also began to wonder exactly how Fraser Simmons had become a half-step Grandmaster.
The previously desolate Simmons residence suddenly buzzed with activity.
People initially thought that if the Simmons family didnât reveal the secret of the half-step Grandmaster, they would at least tell everyone who had cured Fraser Simmons.
Yet, the Simmons family members claimed ignorance on the matter.
When asked too often, they directly told others that the old master had found a Thousand-Year Lingzhi, and after consuming it, not only did his health improve, but his martial skills progressed further.
Of course, such nonsense was not believed, but no matter how much they were questioned, the Simmons family members refused to budge.
Thus, everyone became even more curious about the mysterious young man and intensified their search for him.
Greg Jensen knew nothing about this and had no interest in finding out.
Because he was putting all his effort into the final sprint, preparing to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
