Chapter 483
by fanqienovelChapter 483: Dual Cultivation
Originally, Zhou Luo thought the Assassin Tower was determined to kill her, so he instinctively kept his distance.
But unexpectedly, through that mustached man’s words, he learned the assassination attempt this time was likely just a threat.
As long as she remained under the Assassin Tower’s control, they could afford to leave her alone.
Like when they traveled in the secular world before, they never made a move.
It seemed the target Assassin Tower wished to kill this time was extremely important, hence they didn’t want any information leaked.
As for why they weren’t worried about Wang Yu Wei leaking information back then.
Because they hadn’t finalized their plan back then.
Presumably, the Assassin Tower had now begun to act.
Thus, especially at this critical moment, they grew even more cautious, unwilling to see the plan fail.
Zhou Luo didn’t care about this assassination.
He only knew that if that person were truly killed, then Wang Yu Wei should be safe.
Even if that person wasn’t dead, as long as she stayed at Zhou Fu, perhaps the Assassin Tower wouldn’t continue the attacks either.
After realizing this, he became inclined to propose dual cultivation with her.
And upon hearing this, Wang Yu Wei’s expression noticeably shifted.
Seeing his earnest, straightforward demeanor, she could only nod resignedly: “You’re right, I won’t return to the sect for the time being.”
“That’s even better. If you encounter difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to me directly.”
“Moreover, I have a dual cultivation technique here that can help you reach the Golden Core stage faster.”
Zhou Luo wore an expression full of concern for her and specifically mentioned the dual cultivation technique.
Sure enough, Wang Yu Wei’s beautiful eyes brightened upon hearing this: “Is it the dual cultivation technique you spoke of?”
During their earlier discussion, he had mentioned the dual cultivation technique he practiced.
But Zhou Luo shook his head: “No. This dual cultivation technique was found by me at a previous ruin site. It is superior to the one I mentioned.”
He had previously spoken of The Fusion of Dragon and Phoenix Technique, with some omissions and modifications.
This Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan, however, was what he obtained last time at the Golden Core master’s ruin. Even if Wang Yu Wei investigated it later, she would surely know it existed; thus, there was no worry about arousing suspicion.
Wang Yu Wei’s beautiful eyes flickered, pondering over the merits of his technique, while Zhou Luo nonchalantly pulled out a set of jade slips and handed them to her, not worried in the least that she might keep it for herself.
When she saw the script "Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan" inscribed on the jade slips, her expression visibly shifted.
After all, her constitution was named “Phoenix and Luan Harmony”. Now this dual cultivation technique bore the exact same name—she didn’t believe it to be coincidence.
“But I may not meet the requirements.”
Then, upon reviewing specific prerequisites within the dual cultivation technique, she stated somewhat helplessly.
For she was no longer a virgin.
“No matter. Those requirements mainly serve ordinary individuals. Your special physique perfectly matches this technique—you don’t need to fulfill them.” Zhou Luo explained.
He had meticulously studied the contents within this dual cultivation technique.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so adamant about practicing dual cultivation with Wang Yu Wei.
After speaking, he moved closer to her and began explaining the contents of the Technique of the Phoenix and the Luan.
They sat so close that their shoulders nearly touched, and Wang Yu Wei could even feel his intense masculine presence.
This stirred a sudden flutter in her previously calm heart.
"No, I must suppress this."
Realizing her mental state could still be affected, Wang Yu Wei immediately resolved herself and began circulating the Supreme Emotionless Technique.
As the technique took effect, a cooling sensation washed over her heart, restoring her calm once more.
Zhou Luo continued explaining meticulously and patiently.
Once she fully grasped this dual cultivation technique, Wang Yu Wei couldn’t help but be astonished.
If it truly worked as described, the speed of her cultivation would undoubtedly multiply several times compared to her usual practice.
Do not underestimate this multiplier.
Viewed long-term, it promised immense time savings.
Moreover, this dual cultivation technique could alter both partners’ constitutions, refine their dantians, enabling them to harness even more formidable power.
Honestly, at that moment, Wang Yu Wei felt a powerful surge of desire.
She instinctively turned her head to look at the focused Zhou Luo beside her.
In her heart, she affirmed that this was all for her emotional tribulation, all for cultivation.
And so, she ultimately chose to agree.
"In that case, let’s give it a try now," Zhou Luo suggested eagerly.
He too wanted to see if, combined with his dual cultivation body, this technique would yield greater benefits than The Fusion of Dragon and Phoenix Technique.
"Right now?" A trace of panic flashed across Wang Yu Wei’s delicate features.
Although she had prepared mentally, the suddenness caught her completely off guard.
"Or would you rather study it further?" Sensing his own urgency, Zhou Luo softened his tone.
"I’ll study it a bit more."
When it came to this matter, Wang Yu Wei still lacked decisive resolution.
Subsequently, Zhou Luo left the jade slips in the room.
He wasn’t concerned about the contents leaking.
After all, this was fundamentally a male-female dual cultivation technique, and the Biquan True Sect, comprised entirely of female disciples, would surely never practice it.
…
Meanwhile, after Zhou Luo left the outpost, the man with the goatee returned to the inner courtyard. He retrieved a communication device and contacted headquarters.
Though a senior elder was responsible for the hit, it had taken place on his turf without prior notice—a blatant disregard for his authority.
Disrespect toward him was manageable, but he too was backed by a senior elder.
He promptly reported the incident to his patron elder.
Upon learning of it, the elder firmly stated that he would demand an explanation from the other party.
The man with the goatee also specifically mentioned the matter concerning Zhou Luo and Wang Yu Wei.
To his surprise, the elder stated that the assassination attempt wasn’t decreed by headquarters.
Hearing these words, the goateed man was visibly stunned.
He was aware of the situation involving Wang Yu Wei.
So when Zhou Luo arrived seeking information, he naturally assumed it was a directive from headquarters.
He hadn’t expected it to be independent of headquarters entirely.
Since it wasn’t ordered, it meant someone had paid for the hit on Wang Yu Wei.
The elder backing the goateed man offered no details on this point, and the man had no authority to inquire further.
After ending the communication, he ultimately chose not to inform Zhou Luo about this discovery.
Because if this kept Wang Yu Wei within his jurisdiction, it could be advantageous for headquarters down the line.
He might even be commended for effective surveillance and potentially gain a promotion.
At that moment, Wang Yu Wei remained unaware that someone sought her life, believing she was safe as long as she stayed put.
But more pressing than the hidden threat was her preoccupation with the dual cultivation technique Zhou Luo had shown her.
The more she studied it, the more convinced she became of its perfect suitability for her.
Finally, that very night, she actively sought out Zhou Luo…
