Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 861: Chapter 294: How can this be considered Dual Cultivation?_2

"It’s all because the main body is in a coma. Only by letting others engage in dual cultivation and leading from the other side can Yin and Yang fuse, reducing the Immortal City Lord’s burden of Yin Qi."

"Moreover, Yin and Yang dual cultivation is extraordinarily profound, a grand principle of the universe. Even if Yin Qi is as vast as the sea, it must obediently transform, rather than be extinguished like a flood against a small flame."

The Paperman Avatar continued: "But unfortunately, I guided the Yin Qi inside me according to the formation, channeling it to places like Cangyang Villa and the Yang Enhancement Institute. Even if the efforts of many male concubines are combined, it’s just a drop in the bucket against the total amount of Yin Qi, barely enough to maintain a state of near-death."

"The Yang Energy from the Golden Swallow Fork is not dual cultivation, and mixed with demon energy, is wholly unsuitable for my main body."

"Its manifestation is merely to give everyone something to think about, a hope to hold onto."

Ning Zhuo’s thoughts were in turmoil for a moment.

He thought of Sun Tiesheng, who had ruined his own path because of this and was forced to transform into a half-human, half-demon.

What would Sun Tiesheng feel if he heard these words?

Sun Tiesheng was already dead, Shen Bing and Chen Sui, too, had died because of the Golden Swallow Fork.

If they knew this was just a scheme laid out by the City Lord, what thoughts would they have?

Even Zheng Shoumo was played.

He repeatedly intervened due to the Golden Swallow Fork’s recognition of its owner, acting so hastily that he exposed a flaw, thus allowing Ning Zhuo to catch him.

But speaking of it, Ning Zhuo also contributed to the situation.

If not for his and Wen Ruanyu’s design, the Spirit Contract Treasure Refining Array would not have been set up in the Yang Enhancement Institute, causing such a great commotion.

"What about Li Xiangshang?" Ning Zhuo wondered.

Li Xiangshang was sent by the Dragon Lord.

"The Dragon Lord first sent Jinyangzi and later Li Xiangshang. How much do they know, and what kind of agreement do they have with the White Paper City Lord?"

"Is Li Xiangshang also someone who unknowingly aids the flames?"

With these thoughts, Ning Zhuo gained a new understanding of the illusionary situation of the White Paper Immortal City.

The real grand scheme is the Lord of Wangchuan’s century-old conspiracy. Under the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony, White Paper Immortal City has already been designated as a site for a blood sacrifice.

"My mother knew this through the Grey Bone Elder, but she didn’t inform the White Paper City Lord."

"So does the White Paper City Lord know about this?"

On the chessboard of the Lord of Wangchuan, the White Paper City Lord is a pawn, and the White Paper Immortal City is the prey to his conquest.

On the White Paper City Lord’s chessboard, the Golden Swallow Fork is her tool, Sang Le Youling, Wen Ruanyu, even Ning Zhuo, are her pawns. Sun Tiesheng, Shen Bing, Chen Sui, and other male concubines are her discarded pieces. Li Xiangshang should also be a pawn, but whether the Dragon Lord is, Ning Zhuo cannot determine.

"I don’t currently have the qualifications to know what this mysterious organization is. Only by joining the Myriad Images Sect will I have further opportunities."

"The message left by my mother positions me as a pawn on the surface, but secretly equips me with the potential to become a player."

"Yang Sanyan wants the City Lord’s main body to sign the Divine Contract, which is beneficial for me."

The White Paper City Lord generously supports Ning Zhuo, excessively rewarding him, even funding the Qing Jiao Army with unrestrained generosity.

In the shoes of an ordinary person, they would have long been loyally devoted.

But Ning Zhuo is no ordinary person.

He saw through the situation and understood the true nature and character of the White Paper City Lord.

Thus, he decisively chose to align himself with the Myriad Images Sect.

"Is the White Paper City Lord Zheng Shoumo’s accomplice?"

"This question is crucial!"

"If she is, I would never risk getting involved with the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony."

For according to Yang Sanyan, Ning Zhuo’s mother was most likely harmed by the mysterious organization. Hence, the message left by Meng Yaoyin is at a lower level than that organization.

Perhaps even the message she left behind has long been known by the mysterious organization, intentionally spared.

Ning Zhuo, contemplating this, understood the current crux: "The main body of the City Lord must be awakened."

With his thoughts settled, he acted decisively.

Instantly, he broke the silence by saying, "To awaken the Immortal City Lord is actually not difficult."

With a single sentence, Ning Zhuo immediately captured everyone’s attention present.

"You have a way?" Yang Sanyan inquired curiously.

Ning Zhuo clasped his hands, his expression serious as he earnestly replied, "To inform you all, I have some knowledge of medical arts. I possess a technique that can resolve the current awkward situation of the main body of the City Lord."

Yang Sanyan nodded decisively: "Then, please show us this technique, young brother."

Wen Ruanyu looked on with anticipation.

The Paperman Avatar pondered and said, "It’s doable, but I must supervise the entire process closely."

"Naturally," Ning Zhuo smiled, "this medical art of mine is open to outsiders to witness."

"Please," the Paperman Avatar gestured.

She manipulated the array, letting the Black Water Yin Tide support the main body, slowly ascending to the edge of the well.

Ning Zhuo stood before the main body of the City Lord.

When he approached closer, only then did he realize the City Lord’s stature was very tall, almost nine feet.

He decisively reached out, approaching the City Lord’s body.

From a distance of three feet, Ning Zhuo felt as if his palm was being pierced by needles.

The Yin Qi contained in the main body of the City Lord was truly terrifying!

An ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator would have long since died. Only the White Paper City Lord, relying on her innate abilities, could achieve such an exaggerated level.

Ning Zhuo wisely halted, aligning his palm with the main body of the City Lord, three feet apart.

The Paperman Avatar, Yang Sanyan, Wen Ruanyu all stared unblinkingly at Ning Zhuo’s actions.

To the surprise of the three, Ning Zhuo didn’t employ any medical art, but instead directly released a surge of Yang Energy from his palm.

The Paperman Avatar immediately showed disappointment.

They thought Ning Zhuo would display some miraculous medical art, but unexpectedly it was still the old method of Yin and Yang dual cultivation.

"But Ning Zhuo is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, his combat power is formidable, but after all, he’s still too young. How much Yang Energy can he have?"

"Hmm?!"

In the next moment, the Paperman Avatar’s expression changed.

She was astonished to see that after this surge of Yang Energy was released, it didn’t require Ning Zhuo to control it, nor did it need him to preside over dual cultivation. It directly merged into the main body of the White Paper City Lord, like a swallow returning to its nest.

In this process, the Yang Energy fused with the Yin Qi swiftly.

And this fusion was extraordinarily fast and efficient, practically perfect!

Witnessing this, both Yang Sanyan and Wen Ruanyu showed surprise, now viewing Ning Zhuo in a new light.

"How strange! What technique is this? The condensed Yang Energy aligns so closely with the main body, as if it was originally part of it!" The City Lord Avatar marveled.

Wen Ruanyu nodded, praising, "Though Ning Zhuo has a low cultivation level, his methods are extraordinary and continually surprising."

Yang Sanyan: "Rather than calling it medical arts, it might be more fitting to call it a dual cultivation method? Who would have thought Ning Zhuo was so adept at dual cultivation!"

"Cough, cough, cough." Ning Zhuo coughed repeatedly, "How can this count as dual cultivation?"

"Exchanging Origin Yang and Origin Yin is what counts as dual cultivation!"

"This degree is merely me producing some cultivation resources for the City Lord to use."

"Yang senior, I still plan to join the Myriad Images Sect in the future. I’m still young, please don’t tarnish my reputation!"

Yang Sanyan blinked: "Your technique is extremely mystical! It seems to refine one’s Yang Energy according to different targets, making it a perfect fit for certain individuals."

"Remarkable!"

"If this were exposed, I wonder how many female cultivators would want to cultivate with you."

Ning Zhuo coughed twice again: "This method consumes my foundation, not to be used freely, nor frequently. It’s just that the current situation compels me to do it. I hope everyone here will keep this confidential for me!"

Yang Sanyan: "I won’t say a word."

Wen Ruanyu: "A gentleman keeps secrets like sealed bottles."

The Paperman Avatar said, "You truly are the savior of our Immortal City. Young Master Ning Zhuo, your methods are mystical, continuously surprising. Alas, it costs you your foundation. Your reward this time will certainly not be small! I hope you’ll extend your efforts more, saving my main body, and thus the entire White Paper City."

Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth, pretending to be exerting all his strength.

He secretly activated the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, manipulating his own Blood Qi to make his face turn ghastly pale quickly.

In reality, the Yang Energy he released all came from the Yin Yang Qi Pot, essentially transformed from the Yin Qi of the White Paper Immortal City Lord, having little to do with him personally.

A moment later, the eyes of the main body of the White Paper City Lord, stirred, slowly opened, her first gaze locking onto the large-headed youth with whom she dual cultivated.
