Very soon, Ling Yun returned to Mansion Number One. When he realized that Cui Lao wasn't back yet, he started frowning.
Cui Lao should know that I have to give him a few more needles, right? Why did he suddenly go missing?
However, he had no means to contact Cui Lao and could only wait.
Ling Yun walked to Dugu Mo, who was cultivating wildly in the courtyard and said, "I'll be leaving first. We shall continue making talisman tomorrow."
Ling Yun drove to the Luxurious Hot Springs Manor. Before his car arrived at the house, he could sense a cold intent.
Ling Yun knew that this must be because Lin Menghan had already memorized the Arctic Ice Technique and started cultivating it on her own.
He turned off the engine of the Land Rover as he stopped outside the courtyard. After getting out of the car, he entered the courtyard silently.
Lin Menghan was indeed daring enough to start cultivating immediately after memorizing the Arctic Ice Technique. Ling Yun dared not interrupt her, fearing that he might cause trouble to her.
Ling Yun arrived at the bedroom on the second level without making any noise at all. The second level was much warmer than the courtyard. In fact, the temperature outside the mansion was about seven to eight degrees lower than the inside. However, this difference in temperature wasn't going to affect Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was already at the pinnacle of the twelfth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. He had mastered the art of not sweating under hot weather or shivering during cold seasons. He was able to withstand all types of temperature.
Lin Menghan was merely wearing her nightgown, her sexy body seated on the bed. Her eyes were shut, and she was deeply focused, cultivating her Arctic Ice Technique. She appeared as though she hadn't noticed Ling Yun's return at all.
Ling Yun didn't interrupt her and helped to protect her silently. Lin Menghan only opened her eyes gradually after completing one circulation of True Qi.
The moment Lin Menghan opened her eyes, she saw Ling Yun and cried out in surprise, "Hubby, you're back!"
Ling Yun nodded but put on a straight face. "Didn't I tell you to memorize it only? I remember telling you not to start cultivating without me, right? For your first time, I have to be beside you in case anything goes wrong. If anything happens to you, who should I blame then?"
When Lin Menghan saw that Ling Yun was reprimanding her, she made a wry face before saying softly, "After memorizing the technique, I got too bored while waiting for you, so I tried to practice. Who knew it would turn out this way?"
Ling Yun couldn't bear to continue reprimanding Lin Menghan, so his body flashed and appeared right next to her. He brought her into his embrace before replying in a comforting voice, "You're not to do something so ridiculous in the future. Fortunately, you did it right and nothing happened. If you do something like this in the future again, your hubby will have to punish you!"
Both of Lin Menghan's fair arms naturally wrapped around Ling Yun's arm as she gave Ling Yun a peck on the cheek with her cold lips. She whispered, "You don't have to wait for the future, you can punish me now…"
Ling Yun was instantly speechless at how loving Lin Menghan was towards him.
"Alright, we can talk about this later on. Right now, we have to talk about your cultivation," Ling Yun said with a clear voice, holding onto Lin Menghan's tender body as he spoke. He had no intention to take advantage of her at this moment.
Consummation and cultivation were two very different issues. One was in compliance with the heavenly law, while the other was in defiance of the heavenly law. Ling Yun was exceedingly clear about this difference.
He got Lin Menghan to recite the Arctic Ice Technique from the beginning to the end. When he saw that Lin Menghan truly memorized it word for word, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Following which, Ling Yun went through the Arctic Ice Technique word by word and phrase by phrase. He pointed out the key cultivation points of the technique and explained it in detail to Lin Menghan.
Ling Yun was incredibly serious in explaining it in detail to her. Regardless of how complicated the logic was, he was able to simplify it in his own way such that Lin Menghan understood everything he said.
"Understand, right? Repeat it once for me…"
Cultivation was the easiest way for one to lose track of time. When Ling Yun was finally assured that Lin Menghan had a complete grasp of the Arctic Ice Technique, the long night had passed, and the sun had risen again.
"I'll place protection over you now, so you just need to try circulating the Arctic Ice Technique once. If there's no problem, you will be able to cultivate on your own in the future."
In terms of cultivation, Ling Yun was definitely the best teacher in the business.
After Ling Yun reached the Tribulation Stage, his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, as well as the potential of a human body, was at a really frightening realm!
Before the Qi Cultivation Stage, every kind of cultivation wasn't considered true cultivation. Regardless of how impressive it might seem, they were nothing in the eyes of Ling Yun.
"Hubby, the sky is getting brighter. I want to…" Lin Menghan didn't want to cultivate anymore as she lay in Ling Yun's embrace.
Seeing Lin Menghan's messy nightgown on her fair skin, her delicate body was truly alluring. However, Ling Yun maintained his composure and said, "No, you have to focus and go through the Arctic Ice Technique once."
"Hmph! Fine, I will cultivate then!" Lin Menghan rolled her eyes at Ling Yun before pouting her mouth. She casually took off her nightgown before starting her cultivation naked.
Ling Yun furrowed his brows as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "I have to focus!"
Lin Menghan had a great aptitude, and after Ling Yun's exquisite pointers, she completed a minor circulation. All the pure Yin Qi in her body started circulating as the temperature around her body dropped over ten degrees. It was as though winter had arrived!
Looking at the incredible progress of Lin Menghan within such a short period of time, Ling Yun felt extremely satisfied. Back in the Cultivation World, Ling Yun had witnessed how Arctic Palace Lady executed the Arctic Ice Technique. She was indeed capable of turning the entire place icy cold, which demonstrated the tremendous power of this technique.
Lin Menghan had a pure Yin body, and she also attained the Dark Yin Qi from Ling Yun's body, which had turned into the Cold Yin Qi. A combination like that made the starting point of her cultivation extremely high. There was a high possibility that she could even surpass the realm of Arctic Palace Lady!
After letting the Qi in her body circulate one major cycle, she opened her eyes gradually. At this moment, she had already calmed down as she grew familiar with her technique. She realized the merit of cultivation, and the feeling of advancement in realms was undoubtedly comparable to the feeling of falling in love.
Even though both were completely different feelings, they were both indescribably splendid feelings.
"Hubby, thank you…" Lin Menghan stared at Ling Yun, who was constantly watching over and protecting her.
"Alright, why are you even thanking me? Just cultivate like this in the future. Next week, I will start teaching you the Arctic Palm."
"En… Can I be intimate with you now?" Lin Menghan sneaked a peek outside and saw the sun already shining brightly.
Did she really have to ask?
"Ah…" Lin Menghan screamed!
When extreme heat meets the icy cold, icy cold meets extreme heat too. Heh, the feeling and sensation of ice and fire were simply breathtaking.
Lin Menghan stuck her fair breasts out to enjoy and adapt to Ling Yun's position. She squinted her eyes and whispered, "Naughty boy, did you teach me this technique so that you could do this?"
A blend of water and fire!
As the sun rose gradually, the singing of the birds outside the mansion managed to conceal the urgent gasping of air as well as the lovable cries of pleasure.
…
After everything, Lin Menghan took a nap, while Lin Menghan drove out of the Luxurious Hot Springs Manor in glowing spirits. He went straight back to Mansion Number One to start making talisman again.
Around noon, Tang Meng came over to have lunch with him before heading towards Qingshui Lake.
Last night, Tang Meng had contacted his friend in the yacht renting business. He got him to reserve a massive leisure speedboat and even got him to teach Ling Yun how to drive it personally.
Setting coordinates, setting directions, increasing and decreasing speed, turning around curves, and whatever else he needed to know. This was indeed easier to learn than driving a car. Ling Yun used less than an hour to master it.
There weren't many obstacles out at sea either. After setting direction, all he needed to do was to go straight all the way. The sea was boundless, and there was no need to care about anything out at sea. Therefore, it was extremely easy to learn.
As Ling Yun drove the speedboat across Qingshui Lake, he was finally satisfied. He realized how impressive technology was and promised to analyze it thoroughly once he had time in the future.
When one's cultivation reached the intermediate stage of Qi Cultivation, one would be able to fly in the air for a short period of time. However, there were planes in this world. Even though it wasn't as convenient as flying individually, the two had the same effect in terms of flying across space at high speed.
When one's cultivation reached the Golden Pallet Stage, a slight push of a palm could destroy an entire city. However, a nuclear warhead in this world could do the same. There was no difference in terms of its effect.
Even though all were different approaches, it led to an equally satisfactory outcome!
Ling Yun suddenly thought of television and mobile phones. He started to realize that there were a few respectable aspects of this world.
Of course, cultivation depended on the cultivator himself. Using the body and soul to connect heaven and earth or borrow the strength of heaven and earth. However, technology required humans to make use of tools to achieve their objectives. Comparatively, cultivation was still more impressive.
"Interesting… Not bad…" Ling Yun docked the speedboat by the shore, complimenting it while getting off it with Tang Meng.
The two of them left Qingshui Lake and went back to Mansion Number One.
"Big Brother Yun, I've checked this for you. If you want to go to Turtle Island, it's closer to go through Wenzhou, which is about two hundred nautical miles. Therefore, I've already contacted my friend to prepare a speedboat for you."
"I've asked around to find out that the speedboat can go up to six hundred nautical miles, and its fastest speed is sixty knots. The average speed is forty knots, so over a distance of two hundred nautical miles, we should take about four to five hours."
Ling Yun nodded as he turned to ask Tang Meng, "Nautical miles? Knots? What does all this mean?"
Tang Meng smiled as he replied, "Big Brother Yun, didn't you see the meter dial of the speedboat? Out at sea, everything is measured in nautical miles. One nautical mile is 1.852 kilometers, and the distance a ship can cover in one hour is the knots."
"I see, I understand now." Ling Yun nodded.
Tang Meng continued, "Turtle Island hasn't been the most peaceful place recently. Are you sure you want to go there?"
Ling Yun chuckled and said, "I'm only going there because it's not peaceful. If it was peaceful, why would I head there?"
