Wet viviparity

Chapter 723 Mastery, Testing the Waters
In Jinjing Mountain, apart from the old man Jiang Shenhu, the person who had the best relationship with Jiang Heixiao was none other than Jiang Hubiao.

Jiang Hubiao was fierce and lacked strategy. He was brave and strong, surpassing his peers, but he always preferred to use his fists and swords when things happened. He and Hei Xiao were somewhat like-minded.

The reason why Hu Biao was so protective of his younger brother Hei Xiao was that, within the Jiang family, the two were ugly in their own unique ways. Strictly speaking, Hu Biao had some fierceness to mask his ugliness, which added a touch of charm, while Hei Xiao was purely ugly.

Whenever Jiang Hubiao stood with Hei Xiao, he felt that he was more pleasing to the eye, so he naturally liked to associate with him more. Over time, they became more like brothers, and their friendship became much more genuine.

Upon hearing that Black Owl had been executed, Jiang Hubiao timed his visit to the secluded mansion to prepare for a thorough lesson.

Upon arriving at the residence, Jiang Hubiao first greeted the five vassals. Just as he was about to ask about his younger brother Hei Xiao's current academic progress, he was greeted by a handsome young man with a face like jade and eyes like bright stars. He was dressed in a light fur coat and a precious belt, and greeted him with a smile and a cupped hand.

Upon seeing the young man's demeanor, Jiang Hubiao felt immediately ashamed of himself. The next moment, he became alert and asked warily, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

"Brother, it's been so many months since we last met, don't you recognize me?"

"Brother Xiao, it's you!"

Jiang Hubiao slapped his forehead, then circled around Black Owl, examining him carefully. He couldn't find a single flaw, and said, "While this Snow Gold can make the transformation technique more natural, with form and spirit in perfect harmony, making it difficult to find any flaws, it may not have the same miraculous effect as yours."

Clearly, Jiang Hubiao was very familiar with the effects of the Snow Gold fur coat, and had probably used similar items before.

Upon seeing the handsome young man transformed from the Black Owl, Jiang Hubiao felt a pang of bitterness, though he refused to admit that there was a hint of resentment in his heart.

Jiang Hubiao said earnestly, "Brother Xiao, beauty and ugliness are all determined by the essence of your parents' blood. Your father did not give you a good birth, but it is wrong of you to be transformed into this appearance. Look at me, I have never been like this. We men bow to heaven and earth, and only seek the truth of red and white."

"oops!"

Black Owl slapped his forehead, a look of sudden realization on his face.

He swayed back to his ugly, dark-haired, and emaciated form, and said, "I almost fell for the old man's trick. He taught me the transformation technique, but he disliked my ugly appearance. I even said that I would stay the same and lose face. I never thought I would forget about it in the blink of an eye."

Fortunately, my elder brother reminded me. I suppose he's similar to me, yet he also insists on never changing his appearance. He must share my thoughts, resenting that the old man didn't give him a good birth, and wanting to embarrass him and vent his anger.

Hearing these words was even worse than being insulted.

But after circling the words in his mouth several times, he was still worried that Black Owl would turn into that handsome model again, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Have you fully visualized the Tiger in the True Scripture? How is your practice of the Tiger Playing Techniques?"

"The Bird and Bear Chapter in the mere True Scripture is already mastered to perfection, but in terms of the difficulty of cultivation within it, it is not as advanced as my Yuan Yang Boy Technique."

“Brother Xiao!” Jiang Hubiao slapped Hei Xiao’s shoulder suddenly and said in surprise, “That Yuan Yang Boy Skill is left behind by your past life. I can understand that you have an obsession, but you can’t be so harsh on yourself because of it. After all, food and sex are human desires, why should you restrain yourself?”

The Yuan Yang Tong Zi Gong (元阳童子功) – just hearing the name tells you that practicing this skill requires guarding one's primordial yang energy.

"Does elder brother mean sexual cultivation?"

Jiang Heixiao asked, frowning.

"What is 'sexual cultivation'? It's the mutual replenishment of yin and yang, the union of male and female energies!"

When the topic came up, Jiang Hubiao launched into a long and enthusiastic discussion, seemingly unconcerned about such topics.

Playing around is playing around, and making a ruckus is making a ruckus. Although Black Owl is violent and has deep-rooted evil intentions, it is understandable that he would stray into a brothel. However, he was already preparing to make a breakthrough in his Yuanyang Boy Skill, so no matter what Jiang Hubiao said, he refused to budge on this matter.

Of course, although he was unwilling to engage in sexual intercourse, with his current sexual cultivation and wisdom, as long as he focused his mind, his primordial yang would be as stable as a rock, and even if he engaged in sexual intercourse, he could ensure that his primordial yang would be unharmed.

Unless the other party is a master of this art, extremely skilled in sensual arts and magic, capable of swaying his mind and causing him to loosen his guard and let his primordial energy escape, even if he practices all night long, it won't harm him in the slightest. But he is, after all, practicing the Primordial Energy Boy Technique, and unless he can find a pretext to cover up his ability to preserve his primordial energy, how can he easily give in on this matter?

Seeing that his younger brother was determined, Jiang Hubiao had no choice but to carefully take out a yellow book from his small rhinoceros-hide pouch, holding it in his hands with great care, and signaling to Hei Xiao to take it quickly.

"Mysterious Abode Technique!"

Black Owl read it aloud, somewhat confused.

Finally, under Jiang Hubiao's guidance, they saw two ancient characters in the corner of the book, written in the shape of bird and insect script, which vaguely resembled the characters "Da Cheng".

"Great Accomplishment. Great Accomplishment Immortal Lord!"

The tone of Black Owl's words rose slightly at the end.

"I never expected that my brother, who lives in seclusion in this house, would have heard of the Immortal Lord's great name."

"Perhaps I stumbled upon it in a casual book and paid it some attention at the time."

Black Owl mumbled a few words, speaking impatiently.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Hubiao didn't mind. After all, the Great Immortal was an ancient immortal who had left behind countless anecdotes and wonders throughout history. There were no fewer than a hundred caves and mansions for later generations to explore, and his reputation had endured for a long time.

Of course, the most widely known is the Xuan Su Dao created by this immortal, commonly known as the art of harmony.

"This ancient leather scroll was a valuable gift I obtained from a true disciple of the Yin Su Sect in the Empty Cave Mountain of the Western Wilderness. It contains secret techniques for preventing the leakage of 'primordial yang' during the union of yin and yang. Over the years, I have studied this scroll diligently and have grasped its essence, which I can now pass on to you."

"My brother is truly selfless."

Black Owl said, moved.

Jiang Hubiao was truly blessed; he had just been thinking about how to cover up his situation when the other party provided him with an excuse.

"We're family, so let's not be formal. In this huge Jiang family, only you and I are compatible and get along well. If I don't help you, who will?"

Jiang Hubiao spoke with great emotion, but in fact he was just afraid that if his younger brother really became ambitious and resolved his inner resentment, then his own incompetence would be exposed.

If I don't take advantage of my younger brother's inexperience and guide him more, so that his bad reputation can overshadow mine in the future, then if I commit any more crimes, I can appear somewhat "innocent" with my younger brother as a precedent, and be forgiven by my family.

With this in mind, and also to have more helpers while he was out having fun, Jiang Hubiao patiently began to teach Jiang Heixiao. In addition to the technique of preventing the leakage of primordial yang, he also taught him a lot about the true methods.

Seeing how much Jiang Hubiao cared, Black Owl simply went along with it.

He intentionally tarnished his reputation to infiltrate the ranks of heretics and evil forces, especially Baiqin Mountain and Shuangshen Temple. By complying with Jiang Hubiao's actions, he also laid the groundwork for his future endeavors.

There's no other way; to infiltrate the unorthodox path, one must either be lewd or violent.

A talent as outstanding as Jiang Heixiao must be both lewd and violent in order to become sworn brothers with the demons and evil spirits and truly infiltrate their ranks. If things go smoothly, he should be able to dismantle Hundred Birds Mountain and Twin Body Temple from within.

Before we knew it, it was mid-spring, and the peach blossoms outside the mountains were in full bloom.

Both of them were somewhat impatient with the strict rules at home, so they made an excuse to visit friends and left the old house in Jinjing Mountain. Riding two ordinary green horses, they traveled in the secular world, seeking out beautiful women and spending nights in brothels and alleys to hone their bedroom skills and take advantage of their remaining youth.

Jiang Heixiao heard that his elder brother, Jiang Hubiao, had contacted his circle of philanderers, preparing to show off his skills and, incidentally, give him a taste of his own medicine.
