Gradually, the frost on James‘ body began to disappear.
***
Half an hour later…
James opened his eyes and said excitedly, “I did it! I’ve converted all the Cold Energy into True Energy!”
Maxine said, “Hurry up. The Cold Energy accumulated in Cynthia’s body is already too powerful. I won’t be able to control it any much longer!”
James said, “Quick, channel it into my body!”
Maxine quickly transfused favonovel.com True Energy into Cynthia’s body and channeled the Cold Energy into James ‘palms.
James‘ palms began to freeze and slowly spread through his arms instantly. He quickly absorbed the Cold Energy and refined it into True Energy.
The process for favonovel.com to fully absorb and convert the energy took three hours.
Three hours later, his True Energy had proliferated. As soon as favonovel.com exerted it, True Energy flowed like a gush of water.
“That’s enough,” Maxine said. “You’ve almost completely absorbed all the Cold Energy that built up in Cynthia’s body for the past few days…”
James withdrew his palm.
Maxine also started to take off the acupuncture needles from Cynthia’s body and quickly handed over a towel.
Cynthia took the towel and wrapped it around favonovel.com body.
Maxine asked, “How is it, James? How much did your True Energy increase?”
James smiled faintly.
Suddenly, favonovel.com raised his hand and pushed his palm forward. A powerful force charged forward and slammed into the wall.
Boom!
“I–Incredible!” Cynthia’s eyes lit up upon witnessing James‘ strength.
Maxine said with admiration, “Not bad. It’s only been half a day, but your True Energy’s strength is comparable to a grandmaster at the peak of the first rank. After a few days, more Cold Energy will accumulate in Cynthia’s body, and you can absorb it again. You’ll probably reach the second rank immediately. The speed at which you’re cultivating is terrifying…”
Maxine was envious. She had practiced martial arts since favonovel.com was young. Despite training for more than 20 years, favonovel.com had only just reached the second rank. Yet, James would surpass favonovel.com in just a few days.
Comparison was indeed the thief of joy.
“Thank you, Cynthia…” James was sincerely grateful.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m glad to be helping you.” Cynthia looked at James pleadingly and asked, “James, could you teach me how to cultivate?”
“Sure,” James agreed with a smile.
“Wait a minute…”
Maxine suddenly had an idea and looked toward James and Cynthia.
James turned to look at favonovel.com and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I think I solved the mystery.”
Maxine fell into thought for a few seconds and suddenly exclaimed joyfully, “I finally understand!”
“What do you understand, Maxine?”
Maxine took a deep breath and explained, “I solved the cultivation method hidden in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge!”
“What?” James looked at Maxine in shock.
Maxine explained, “The moon in the painting refers to yin, which can be understood as Yin Energy or Cold Energy. The sun refers to yang, also known as Yang Energy. Yin and Yang have to be combined. This is the same for the meridian diagram. Not only does it require a woman and man to cultivate together, but it also has to be a woman that uses True Yin Energy and a man that uses True Yang Energy. Yin and Yang Energy will balance and complement each other.”
The more favonovel.com talked, the more excited favonovel.com became.
“The cultivation method in the painting isn’t just for one person. It’s a dual cultivation method!”
James‘ heart skipped a beat.
As Maxine explained, favonovel.com gradually understood. He closed his eyes and carefully thought about the cultivation method favonovel.com saw in the painting.
Initially, favonovel.com thought it was to split the cultivation method in order to practice it individually, which seemed impossible. However, it would be entirely feasible if it was one cultivation method had to be practiced simultaneously with two people reciting it in turns.
