Chapter 313 The Essence
Sui Luxiao looked at Wu Long with shock.
“How…”
“Haha, it seems you have not properly relieved yourself in the past year we have been apart, so you had accumulated quite a lot of Yin Qi and since yours is very potent it allowed me to cross the threshold of the Revolving Qi Realm. It also is related that your cultivation rose from 5th to the 8th level of the Revolving Qi Realm in the time we have not seen each other”
As he chuckled and explained his rise in cultivation she slightly blushed as she looked to the side, not meeting his eyes.
“Uhm, my cultivation rise is related to meditating with the cultivation technique I used…”
The cultivation technique she was practicing was the one she received in the Frozen Garden Palace when she was a disciple there and was effective in calming down the mind. The rise in her cultivation base was actually related to the fact she meditated to bring down her anxiety, which she of course did not mention.
“… as for relieving myself, I first thought of trying but…”
“It didn’t feel right?”
“Yes… while I could probably produce a pleasurable sensation even not as great…”
She struggled to find words and he smiled.
“Then you have stumbled across what Dual Cultivation really means”
“Hm? Is it not the opposite? If I was a Dual Cultivator, I would have been proficient enough to relieve myself without much trouble”
“Hmm, many people misunderstand Dual Cultivation as a path of pure carnal pleasure, where it is actually not, the ‘Dual’ in it is the key.
There is a Yin and Yang that connect and resonate, and the more profound the connection, the greater the benefits. Dual Cultivation can be maintained with pure physical pleasure, but the more intimate connection between partners, emotional bond is what makes it a truly profound discipline”
Wu Long chuckled as he shook his head. This common misconception was what partially brought the scorn of so many.
“But are you not perfecting the way to stimulate physical pleasure?”
“Indeed, since the greater physical pleasure can be used to enhance cultivation, but at the same time it still is not something that could completely replace a connection between the practitioners. In fact, you would notice that all of the techniques I use are oriented toward bringing greater pleasure to my partner and not myself, as I derive pleasure in giving it. And a Dual Cultivation partner who is a Dual Cultivator would focus on giving pleasure to me, thus completing the cycle. It is mutual pleasure that gives the most satisfying results in Dual Cultivation.
I will tell you more, there is a branch of Dual Cultivation that reduces the techniques of physical pleasure and bed skills to the minimum, letting the emotional connection and natural body movements have the leading role, and it is very effective”
He smiled as Sui Luxiao widened her eyes in surprise at hearing this relatively unknown truth about Dual Cultivation.
The desire to get the same results without building an emotional connection was in part the origin of Lust Cultivators. They wanted to Dual Cultivate as efficiently without building up trust and care, on pure carnal pleasure, since it was nearly impossible with Dual Cultivation that required more than just the unity of the flesh.
“Dual Cultivation is in fact a path of empathy and connection, as well as pleasure resulting from that connection, and its essence lies in the pleasure of the heart and the pleasure of the mind first, and only then the physical pleasure”
Wu Long summarized and she smiled as she felt even happier, knowing that his rise in cultivation was in fact a result of not simple cultivation of her Yin Qi, but the product of the deeper connection between them.
She then asked a few more questions as he calmly answered them one by one after which he asked her about the time he was not around, and she briefly narrated her time here.
“…and now it feels even more futile since I was not able to resolve the issues, and am about to leave it. Though I was not able to find a replacement, and my sons, though learning and growing, are not yet able to…”
“Why do you need to leave and find a replacement?”
Wu Long asked as she was lamenting the fate of the Soaring Feather Trading Company after she is gone.
It was actually quite funny to her that something she considered to be so important and integral to herself was actually not at all important to her now.
“Hm? Well, I would have to leave to be with you…”
Wu Long chuckled as she replied with a slightly wondering expression, a little surprised by his question.
“Who told you that you have to leave the company to be with me?”
“Um… I don’t?”
“Well, you can if you want to, but it is not necessary. The main thing is that it is something you love to do, and there is absolutely no meaning in sacrificing one part of yourself to be with me.
I told you before, both the business woman and the sensual woman are two parts of you, not one or another. It is the very essence of who you are. And when I said that I want you for myself, I did not mean just a part, but the whole that makes you the person you are.
If you leave your company behind there will eventually come a time that you will start craving for work, and I don’t want you to be miserable without your way of life. So inevitably you would just start something different. I am just saying that you can save yourself the trouble by using what you already have and not go through that period of not knowing what to do with the desire to do something”
He explained while smiling.
“Are you saying that you will stay in the capital?”
“Of course not, what I mean is that this company can be wherever you want it to be, wherever you are, the company will follow”
He smiled and she looked at him with round eyes.
“A company, similar to a sect or a country, is people and principles, not a location or a building. Plus, while it is not really popular here, there is a practice of sects operating businesses, which includes trading companies. And there are plenty of traveling sects. It would of course need some serious adjustments as well as creating a whole new strategy, but I do not believe that with your intellectual brilliance that you are going to have a problem with that”
“There is such a thing? I have never heard about these practices”
She slightly blushed at his words, internally chiding him for overpraising her due to the fact she is his woman now, but still asked as the way he spoke about these foreign to her concepts as trivial facts caused her to have a strange feeling. 𝙡𝓲𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢
“It is because they do not exist on these three continents, but in a wider world”
He smiled and she froze as she looked at him while he briefly explained his identity without delving much into the details, but enough for her to understand the very vague concept of the Seven Boundless Worlds.
As she listened to the explanation, all the inconsistencies about him that she could not wrap her head around before gradually started to make sense to her.
She eventually looked at him with bright eyes as he smiled, pleased to see the eagerness and joy in them, as well as a desire to take on a new challenge.
