Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 240 The Mysterious Art of Spiritual Harmony
"Chief Liu, you've misunderstood. These two were invited to my wedding, how could you say they're being detained?"

Li Xiangming chuckled and then instructed Li Xiangcheng to bring Ma Wu and Gao Can over.

Before long, Gao Can excitedly ran out of Fengming Tower.

His enormous size drew everyone's attention.

"Who is this?"

Someone asked in surprise.

"Such magnificence! Truly an extraordinary person!"

Exclamations of admiration rose from the crowd.

Some people looked on with surprise and doubt: "Could it be a monster in disguise?"

The crowd erupted in commotion, with people whispering amongst themselves about Gao Can.

Most people thought he was a born eccentric and considered it just a strange story.

Only Liu Xianyi noticed something amiss, his gaze turning serious.

The Li family has actually found a descendant of the Spirit Clan. Who exactly is this Chief Liu?
With the Li family's rapid development, it's no wonder the old folks in the family refused to sell the Burning Evil Pill.

I heard that the Li family and the Geng family are very close, and I personally saw Li Xiangming linger in front of the Geng brothers for more than a quarter of an hour.

Before he knew it, Liu Xianyi's face had turned completely gloomy.

On the other side, Liu Xiong Yu looked at Gao Can, who was wearing red silk ribbons, had a large red flower embroidered ball tied around his chest, and had several small red flowers pasted on his forehead, and laughed in exasperation: "Gao Can, you really came to the wedding?"

"Yes, Chieftain, weddings are so much fun! When are you getting married? I've heard everyone wants to get married."

Gao Can was completely oblivious to Liu Xiongyu's expression, gesturing wildly and chattering incessantly.

Liu Xiongyu became increasingly angry. He sent Gao Can out to deliver a message to Ma Wu, but Gao Can did not return for several months.

Worried, he went to the Moving Mountain Sect to search for them, but found nothing.

He thought Gao Can had already gone far away, but a few days ago he suddenly received a message from Ma Wu, asking him to come to the Li family.

Only then did Liu Xiong Yu realize that the two of them had been "kidnapped" by Li Xiang Ming.

He rushed to Danggui Mountain, only to find Gao Can beaming with joy and in high spirits. How could he not be angry?

Not wanting to explode in front of everyone, Liu Xiong Yu coldly asked, "Where is Ma Wu?"

Is the chieftain unhappy?

Gao Can belatedly realized what was happening, secretly glanced at Liu Xiong Yu, and cautiously said, "Ma Wu is drunk."

"Drunk?"

Liu Xiongyu's voice suddenly rose, and he was about to lash out when he saw Li Xiangcheng helping the completely drunk Ma Wu out.

Ma Wu mumbled incoherently, "Come, let's toast the chieftain."

Liu Xiong Yu's eyelids twitched, and he wished he could kick Ma Wu awake.

But he simply ordered coldly, "Take Ma Wu with you, we're leaving."

After saying that, Liu Xiongyu turned to leave.

"But the wedding isn't over yet."

Gao Can muttered to himself, reluctant to part with the horse, but he dared not disobey the chieftain's orders. So he grabbed Ma Wu and strode to catch up with Liu Xiong Yu.

Li Xiangming watched them leave, but his eyes darted towards Li Qianxiong.

He knew that Liu Xiongyu valued Gao Can exceptionally much, and bringing the two back might have been a ploy to lure out the snake.

If the Li family can capture Liu Xiongyu here, the matter of Ziyin Cave will be easily resolved.

However, Li Qianxiong simply shook his head slightly and did not take any action.

In fact, of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators present, apart from Qingyang Daoist, the other three had all ventured deep into Dai Mountain and fought against Liu Xiong Yu.

This former protector of the Mang Sect was as slippery as an eel, and his escape techniques were extremely strange. When the black wind rose, even Li Chengkang could not catch his trace.

Without prior ambush, even if the three of them joined forces, they could at most intercept Ma Wu and Gao Can, but these two were already in the hands of the Li family.

Moreover, Liu Xiong Yu had no choice but to come at the exact day of Li Xiangming's wedding to demand his return.

Isn't it just because they're taking advantage of the fact that the Li family won't dare to make a move at this moment?

The fact that the Li family and Liu Xiong Yu were enemies, not friends, was unknown to the hundreds of people present.

They only saw that the Foundation Establishment cultivator had come to congratulate Li Xiangming, a Qi Refining cultivator, which was a great honor for the Li family.

If word gets out, this will greatly benefit the reputation of the Li family and Li Xiangming. However, if the Li family doesn't appreciate it and instead attacks Liu Xiong Yu, how will outsiders view them?
Being treated coldly or kept at arm's length are the least of our worries; the real fear is that the Li family will be branded as ungrateful.

The Li family's prestige will inevitably suffer greatly, and the significance of holding this wedding will be lost.

Li Qianxiong slowly transmitted his voice, saying, "Xiang Ren, Xiang Ming, this man's meticulousness far surpasses his escape techniques. You should be cautious."

"Yes!"

The two men felt a chill run down their spines, gaining a deeper understanding of Liu Xiong Yu.
-
The next day, as soon as the morning light began to shine, Li Xiangming got up early.

The night of dual cultivation did not tire him out; on the contrary, it made him even more energetic.

The path of dual cultivation, though mysterious and unpredictable, is not to be explained to outsiders.

However, for a family, its status is extremely important, on par with the inheritance of martial arts techniques.

When the Li family was first established, it did not have its own dual cultivation technique.

After generations of tireless efforts, a miraculous skill called "Lingxi Bihe Xuan Gong" was finally compiled.

This technique uses affection as a bond, requiring both practitioners to be of one mind in order to cultivate Yin and Yang energies.

During the cultivation process, both parties inhale and exhale each other's Yin and Yang energies, allowing their Yin and Yang energies to be nourished and strengthened, eventually condensing into a "spiritual wall".

When the time is right, the Yin and Yang of the cultivators will be in harmony, and the "Spirit Wall" will shatter in an instant, releasing tremendous magical power.

If this magical power can be refined, it will be enough to elevate the cultivation level of both parties to a higher level.

Even more miraculously, even if the "spirit wall" is broken, it can still be used for cultivation again, continuously improving its cultivation level.

Of course, the effects of the "spiritual jade" cultivated later were far less than those of the first time.

But you should know that the cultivation pills that alchemists painstakingly refine are just clumps of spiritual energy.

Even after ingesting it, the cultivator still needs to guide the spiritual energy to circulate through the body's spiritual apertures in order to generate magical power.

The "Lingbi" initially released magical power.

And it has no side effects.

Even if the effect is reduced, it still provides considerable benefit to practitioners.

This is the secret method of dual cultivation!
It is said that some secret cultivation methods that involve the union of spirit and soul are even more miraculous.

Cultivating each other can promote the fusion of souls, enhance mutual spiritual connection and tacit understanding, and make them invincible in magical battles.

Furthermore, the union of souls helps each other resist inner demons and break through bottlenecks.

Some dual cultivation techniques can nourish each other's vital energy and are remarkably effective in healing internal injuries.

Even more remarkably, some believe that dual cultivation can extend one's lifespan.

In short, the secret methods of dual cultivation in the cultivation world are diverse and their effects vary.

Without a doubt, the path of dual cultivation can help cultivators go further and become more steadfast.

As for those who are obsessed with lust, let's not even talk about them.

At this moment, Cao Yanjun had also woken up, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes: "The Lingxi Bihe Xuan Gong is more magical than I imagined, and it is also more powerful than the Cao family's dual cultivation method."

Although both sides have only cultivated a trace of Yin and Yang Qi, it is unknown when they will be able to form a "spiritual wall".

However, the existence of Yin and Yang energies significantly accelerated the speed of their breathing and cultivation.

That's truly amazing!

Li Xiangming smiled without saying a word. Over the centuries, the Li family has collected countless martial arts techniques, but they have listed "Lingxi Bihe Xuan Gong" alongside the inherited technique "Hun Yuan Ruyi Jin".

The older generation has its reasons.

The Cao family has existed for a thousand years, so they must have some highly effective dual cultivation techniques, but they just didn't pass them on to Cao Yanjun.

Just like the Li family, only a few people were able to learn the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Harmony Mysterious Skill".

To outsiders, the scions of the wealthy and powerful Cao family are far more prestigious than those of the Li family.

Li Xiangming's marriage to Cao Yanjun was a stroke of good fortune.

However, the children of prominent families have their own difficulties. With so many cultivators in the Cao family, how can they possibly pay attention to each and every one of them?
In terms of family status and resource allocation, Cao Yanjun is far inferior to Li Xiangming, even though she is a second-tier beast tamer.

From a cultivation perspective, marrying Li Xiangming would actually improve Cao Yanjun's situation.

Holding Cao Yanjun's warm little hand, Li Xiangming said softly, "Come on, I'll take you back to Tailai Peak."
