The 'All Knowing Scholar' could not help but roll his eyes when he saw the look of excitement on Shi Ling's face. He then said, "You're only that much ahead of everyone else."

Instead, he continued to watch the Bai Xiaosheng control his body to execute the Yin-Yang cultivation method. Very quickly, Shi Ling saw the amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the room condensing into droplets on the walls and the ground. It could be seen how dense the Spiritual Qi in the room was.

Bai Xiaosheng withdrew his mind from Shi Ling's body and asked, "Do you understand now?"

Shi Ling nodded in agreement. "Try it yourself," the Bai Xiaosheng said.

First, he had to refine the two spirit pearls in his hands, and then he had to control two balls of flames to wrap them around his own hands. After that, he had to use these two balls of flames to refine the spirit pearls, but he couldn't harm his own body, and he couldn't let the flames be too small, otherwise, it would be difficult to refine the spirit pearls.

Fortunately, with Bai Xiaosheng's guidance, Shi Ling was able to quickly discover his own technique. Furthermore, Shi Ling's current understanding of the state of mind had already reached the realm of the Transcendent Mortal, allowing him to learn at a much faster rate than most people. In just six hours, Shi Ling was able to start circulating the elementary yin and yang cultivation method.

He saw the Yin Yang Twin Flames on Shi Ling's hands pulsating slightly. One red and one blue, the two colors illuminated the entire room.

However, he heard Bai Xiaosheng say, "The cultivation method of yin and yang is actually a method that emphasizes the importance of many people cultivating it."

As soon as he said that, he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, retracted the flame on his hands, and asked, "Multiple people to cultivate with? Is it the same principle as male and female dual cultivation? "

After entering the Spirit Sword Sect, Shi Ling only knew that there was an alternative cultivation method called Duo Cultivation. It was said that this method could only be used by males and females. It was said that Duo Cultivation was much faster than ordinary cultivation methods.

The Bai Xiaosheng explained, "Cultivating with a male and female pair is somewhat similar, but the training method of Yin and Yang is a little more perfect than that. Through this kind of training method, you can train with two or more people at the same time, and the faster you train with more people, the more you can do it with the male and female. You can also use this training method with the male, or you can train with a group of females, or you can also train with the male and female."

When Shi Ling heard this, he didn't know why, but two words appeared in his head: "Group/Consecration". He tried to think of another way to shake it off.

Bai Xiaosheng was lying on a table. Then, his body flipped open and a ray of light shot out. A scene appeared in front of Shi Ling as if he was watching a movie.

In the middle of the screen, there was a group of people sitting around a table. There were both men and women among them, and their expressions were all extremely grim. At the same time, there was a young man in the middle of them all.

The group of seven people, including the one in the middle, had a total of eight people. Their bodies were covered in different colored flames, and the person in the middle had ten willing spirit pearls floating around him.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said, "Yin-Yang Cultivation still requires the coordination of men and women to a large extent, just like the scene I showed you. Eight people, four men, four women, with the man in the middle as the core, we'll activate the entire method."

After that, the man in the middle let out a loud roar towards the sky after absorbing enough spiritual energy. From the looks of it, his strength had broken through, and had a chain reaction with the seven people around him.

When the scene fell, Bai Xiaosheng closed his book, then flew back up and said to Shi Ling, "Also, the biggest benefit of the Yin-Yang cultivation method is that as long as one person breaks through, he or she will be able to help others break through. Furthermore, the more people there are, the greater the chances of breaking through are."

After hearing what he said, Shi Ling was shocked. He stared blankly at the two Spiritual Beads in his hands and said, "What a powerful cultivation method. Then according to what I've said, wouldn't it be possible for me to reach the Divine Martial Realm if I find over a hundred people to cultivate with me next time?"

Bai Xiaosheng used his book as a brick and rapped it on Shi Ling's head. "You're really cute and naive. Only you would dare to think of such a clever plan."

Shi Ling rubbed his head and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and said, "Yin-Yang Cultivation Method is a high quality cultivation method, but it also has its drawbacks. Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and said," Yin-Yang Cultivation Method is a high quality cultivation method, but it also has its drawbacks.

When Shi Ling heard this, he was left speechless. He had not really thought about this before, but he heard Bai Xiaosheng continue, "One more thing, even if you can call enough people to cultivate with you, you won't be able to sustain it for long. The pressure on every core member will increase as the number of people who cultivate."

For example, if you can call Long Yang over and work together with you to use the Yin-Yang cultivation method, then you'll need to bear the oppressive force brought by Long Yang himself. If you're calling Lu Xuan and your dao companion Chen Lu, then it'll be four people, then you'll need to bear the oppressive force brought by the four of them. The more people there are, the stronger the oppressive force will be.

When Shi Ling heard this, he finally understood what was going on. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was too naive just now.

He picked up a cup of tea and placed it in his mouth, gulping it down in one gulp. He said, "Alright, I've told you so much, but you still have to comprehend the rest by yourself. You should slowly practice it."

As he spoke, he flew into the ring to rest. Meanwhile, Shi Ling continued to cultivate with the two Spiritual Beads.

The two balls of flame wrapped around Shi Ling's hands, rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world. At the beginning, Shi Ling was ecstatic about being able to absorb the Spiritual Qi crazily, but before long, the pressuring power that Bai Xiaosheng had mentioned earlier appeared.

However, with the current level of Shi Ling's cultivation, he was naturally able to endure it easily. However, he did not know if he would be able to withstand a person's oppressive might in the future, if he were to call Chen Lu over to train.

At this point, Shi Ling couldn't help but let out a sigh. He stopped thinking about those things and focused on his cultivation.

Although the current Shi Ling had already reached the Sun Rank in his cultivation of spiritual veins, he was still unable to fully absorb the Yin and Yang energy at such a terrifyingly monstrous rate. At this moment, Shi Ling started to look forward to how amazing it would be if his own spiritual vein could be raised to the Yellow Rank.

However, Shi Ling had only thought about it. If Bai Xiaosheng didn't take the initiative to teach him, then it would be useless even if he called him father. Shi Ling kept the two Spiritual Beads by dawn.

What shocked Shi Ling the most was that after an entire night of refinement, the two Spiritual Beads had actually shrunk by a tenth of their original volume. Wasn't this consumption rate way too freaking terrifying? One had to know that even a low rank Spiritual Bead could be used for at least two months, let alone a high rank Spiritual Bead.

However, if one were to use the Yin-Yang cultivation method, it would be depleted in less than ten days. At this moment, Shi Ling felt a wave of pain, but when he thought about the dense Spiritual Qi they had attracted, he felt relieved.

After getting up and washing his face and teeth, he went out to meet up with Long Yang and made an appointment to go to the pavilion to buy some necessities.

On the other hand, Long Yang did not seem to care. In his opinion, money should be spent in a very useful way in order to be worth it, or else it would just be a pile of scrap paper that would be useless.

After the two of them exited the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they headed to the martial arena, where all of the previous examinations gathered people, because there was only a space large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Of course, this time, there weren't that many people in the sect, only about five thousand people, and most of them were new disciples, or like Shi Ling, they had been in the sect for a year.

However, the competition wasn't something that just anyone could participate in. One had to meet three conditions in order to participate: first, one had to complete at least one mission assigned by the sect, secondly, one had to reach the small success stage of the Spirit Accumulation Realm, and thirdly, one was under the age of twenty. With these three conditions, one could participate in the competition.

Since both Shi Ling and Long Yang were satisfied, they naturally could participate.

When the two of them arrived at the martial arena, they discovered that it was already a vast sea of people. There were a lot of people, and some of them came to watch the fun while the people standing in the arena were the contestants.

At this moment, Shi Ling and Long Yang also jumped onto the stage. The stage wasn't as crowded as the stage below, and the two quietly waited for the start of the match.

However, not long after, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Shi Ling and Long Yang looked over, and the crowd quickly parted to reveal a path. After which, a group of people aggressively walked out from the crowd.

Shi Ling recognized the person in the lead at a glance and whispered, "Zhang Yusheng!"

Right, at this moment, the person who appeared in everyone's eyes was the third young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Yusheng, and behind him was Xu Hao, that dog. The current Fatty Xu was no longer as wild and unruly as he was in the past, instead he was like a dog obediently following Zhang Yusheng.

At this moment, Zhang Yu Sheng was not the center of attention, because he was not walking at the front, but was following behind a person. As Shi Ling looked over, he discovered that the person walking in the front looked a little similar to Zhang Yu Sheng, just a little more immature than him.

At this time, Long Yang suddenly spoke up: "The person in the lead is Zhang Yusheng's younger brother, his name is Zhang Yuquan, he is a rising star of the Zhang Family, his talent in cultivation is not bad, relying on the sun rank cultivation of his spiritual veins, he reached the initial stage of the Body Tempering realm at the age of 16, and furthermore, even though he is young, he is very shrewd, and cannot be compared to Zhang Yusheng. From the looks of it, the Zhang Family is going to nurture him like a seed."

At this moment, Shi Ling's gaze landed on Zhang Yuquan's body. He discovered that this person gave off an uncontrollable sense of arrogance, ignoring the gazes of the surrounding people as he directly ascended the arena. Just by standing there, he caused many people around him to retreat.

This kind of atmosphere could only be described by one word, "As the saying goes, you have been living for a long time."

Shi Ling was guessing, if the person who wanted to deal with him was this person, then with the strength of over twenty experts, and the intelligence of this person, he would have already lost his life.

But immediately after, the crowd went into an uproar again. Someone loudly shouted, "Quick, look at the sky!"

After which, everyone raised their heads, while Shi Ling and Long Yang also looked up. A beautiful woman descended from the sky like a fairy in the wind.

This woman was wearing a pink dress with a green satin robe coiled around her arms. When she gently landed, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. There were a few maids behind her who also landed with her.

Upon seeing this girl, Shi Ling couldn't help but burst out laughing. This could be considered an old acquaintance of his.

Back then, when Shi Ling was still in the outer sect, he had interacted with this girl. She was his sworn enemy's younger sister, called Donghua Ye Ling.

When Shi Ling first saw her, he was only a fourteen year old little girl. Now that he saw her again, he looked like a half-cooked peach, causing him to want to take a bite out of her.

At this moment, Ye Ling swept her gaze across the crowd, her large, spirited eyes quickly locking onto the nearby Shi Ling. Seeing this, Shi Ling hurriedly turned his head to look at the sky, as if he didn't see anything.

Ye Ling's rosy cherry lips faintly smiled as she thought in her heart about how to kill Shi Ling in the future.

At this moment, Shi Ling cast another glance at Ye Ling. When he saw that the girl wasn't looking at him, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, one after another, he saw the children of the Spirit Sword Sect's Elders.

Luo Yinghao, son of the Luo Family, from the four great clans of Chang Yuan City, stood alone on the spot. No one dared to touch him, as his advanced Body Tempering stage cultivation had become the number one dark horse in the competition.

Qian Ziming, the son of the Hall Master of the Artifact Forging Hall, went up onto the stage like a star with ten storage rings on his finger. It was said that he had a total of one hundred and eight magic treasures on him, but his appearance was so light that one couldn't tell at all.

Then there was the son of the Hall Master, Wang Chuan; and the son of the Hall Master, Gongsun Jie. They were all descendants of influential figures in the Spirit Sword Sect. This year's competition was quite interesting.
