Just like that, both Tyler and Feng Chao went into the closed-door cultivation, and the sect master announced to the world how his junior martial brother and Chang Hong became the dual cultivation partners.
After listening to this news, more than half of the disciples across the Kunlun Sect were shocked. The people shipping Shen Qiu and his master were upset, and they couldn't help but feel devastated at that. Not only their hearts were smashed into pieces, they even lost their bets to those who shipped Chang Hong and Feng Chao.
But of course, both Tyler and his lover didn't even think about those outside their little room. When the male lead shut the door of the house, he used a sacred talisman to separate them and the surroundings so that no one could disturb them.
After that, they sat on the ground in the lotus position, closing their eyes. Of course, even though Tyler had obtained a lot of information from the original owner's memories, he was still naive when it came to cultivation.
So the male lead started guiding this person effortlessly.
"Do breathing exercises first," Feng Chao said after glancing at the person beside him.
Tyler frowned but didn't say anything, following his lover's command. To be honest, he had thought that his senior would end up jumping on him after entering the closed-door cultivation. Wasn't that what it meant to practice dual cultivation?
But here was Feng Chao, actually acting like a master and teaching Tyler how to meditate. Was there something wrong with this person's brain circuits?
Feng Chao could tell what was going on in Tyler's head, and he suppressed his smile. "You know, we have two years now, and before we can dual cultivate, you should learn how to channel energy in your body. So close your eyes and feel it."
Tyler did that, but he didn't know what to feel anymore. He frowned and opened his eyes again after a while.
The male lead rolled his eyes. He just knew this person would be able to do it at once. So he took pleasure in explaining things. "Breathe energy from your surroundings into the pores of your body, and let your Dantian absorb it thoroughly. Go on."
Just like that, both of them got busy doing meditation, and it was only after a week that Tyler opened his eyes. He suddenly felt like his body was full of energy. But before anything else, he performed several sets of hand seals to cleanse his body.
Just as he was about to stand on his feet, he felt someone pulling him up and carrying him on the bed. Tyler was stunned and glanced at the male lead. "What're you doing?"
"Now that we have finished learning how to take spiritual energy inside your body, it's time to take whatever you've learned into practice." Feng Chao suddenly flashed a grin. "We'll finally do what we are here to do. And use the same meditation method to absorb energy when I tell you."
Before Tyler could reply, the male lead lowered his head and kissed him.

While they were busy dual cultivating inside the house, someone else was fuming in anger with eyes stuck at Chang Hong's door. Shen Qiu had practically been spending all his time hiding behind the bushes near that house, staring at the door blankly for God knows how long.
At first, no one noticed his weirdness. But after a while, Both Zhao Jiayi and Hou Huiqing saw their senior martial brother and dragged the man out to practice fighting skills.
Shen Qiu had never been so angry in his life, but unfortunately, he couldn't even vent on anyone. He could only swallow his anger and let his juniors drag him away. After all, he didn't want everyone to see that he was hankering after his master.
What he didn't know was that not only his two junior martial brothers knew about his desire, they had also heard those rumors and were aware of what kind of feeling Shen Qiu had for their master. And that was why they wanted to cheer up their senior by dragging him to fight every single day.
Finally, after a few months passed like that, Shen Qiu couldn't take it anymore. So he made an excuse that he would head down the mountain to gain experience and escaped the clutches of his juniors.
When he was finally free, his mind wandered again to the door that was still closed after so many months!
What the heck was his master and senior martial brother doing inside the house for such a long time?! They weren't dual cultivating all the time, were they?
Even thinking about it made Shen Qiu so angry that he wanted to spit out blood.
Just when he was thinking like that, he suddenly heard the noise of swords clashing with each other. He frowned and looked over, only to find a familiar face.
A person wearing yellow robes was fighting people draped in black. Blood trickled down his neck, but he stubbornly held onto his weapon, not willing to let a single go for surprising. He was determined to kill that cultivator in black!
Wasn't this Cao Li supposed to host the competition of the core formation stage disciples across the dynasty?
Shen Qiu hid in a tea shop, pretending to be a customer, while glancing at the fight from the corner of his eyes.
The fight between two cultivators was going on in the open ground opposite the rows of shops on the left. So everyone was standing inside the shops, glancing at the fight with interest.
"Why're they fighting?" Someone finally asked among the viewers.
Shen Qiu's ears pricked at this. He was also curious about it.
"Ah, how should I start?" The waiter scratched his head and said, "They were both fine ten minutes ago, but suddenly, they started fighting."
Shen Qiu frowned. This explanation seemed to be incomplete. Was this waiter deliberately hiding it from everyone? He turned to face the waiter and placed spirit stones on the table. This was a type of currency used in this world at present among both ordinary people and cultivators. Normal humans would use it as simple coins to trade things with the cultivators, while the latter would cultivate and create formation spells.
So Shen Qiu knew that commoners value spirit stones very much. He didn't waste a minute before placing it before the waiter's eyes.
The latter's eyes widened, and he instantly grabbed the stones and grinned, whispering, "The man in black is accused of being a demonic cultivator, and the yellow-robed person believed the rumors easily. At first, they were talking peacefully, but after a while, it seemed as if the man in yellow confirmed his suspicion and started fighting."
Shen Qiu raised his brows and glanced at Cao Li as a crazy idea formed in his head.
