Chapter Five: Past Events in the Heart
Lan Xinhai could sense that Qingcheng and Yunfan were no longer the same as before, and this wasn't just paranoia. It stemmed from Lan Xinhai's childhood experiences. If Yunfan and Qingcheng knew about this, they certainly wouldn't dare to be so carefree in front of their mother and sister today.
As a child, Lan Xinhai, like the Qingcheng sisters now, was extremely beautiful, a true little beauty. Her family was well-off; though not from a wealthy family,
they lived a comfortable life. Her original name wasn't Lan Xinhai, but Lan Xinmei. When she was five years old, her mother took her to a nearby Taoist temple to burn incense. Chinese people rarely consider their piety when burning incense; they seek more spiritual peace. Therefore, in many places, temples house deities, Taoist temples house bodhisattvas, and even deities like Guan Yu reside there. However, this doesn't mean that those cultivating in these places are just idlers. At least the abbess of this Taoist temple, Chenyuan, was no ordinary nun.
When Daoist Chenyuan saw Xinhai, she was stunned. Xinhai's mother thought her daughter was unwell. Knowing that Daoist Chenyuan was a highly accomplished person, she hurriedly asked her teacher for the reason.
The nun Chenyuan stroked Xinhai's head and sighed, "Your daughter is naturally alluring, like a flower bud about to bloom. When she matures, she will be in full bloom, attracting countless suitors. Moreover, with her innate allure, ordinary men can only endure her for five or six years before passing away."
Xinhai's mother was shocked: "Please, Master, teach me a way to remedy this."
The nun Chenyuan sighed, "It's not that I don't want to teach, but it's truly beyond human power. A woman with deeply ingrained allure will have an even stronger need for the opposite sex after losing her virginity. Therefore, the ancients called this kind of 'husband-killing appearance,' believing that a woman's insatiable desires would cause her husband to die from exhaustion of his vital energy. Thus, a woman with this constitution is either condemned by everyone and can be with any man, or she will spend her remaining days in solitude."
The nun Chenyuan sighed again, "Very well, since I have seen it, I will give it a try. I have a technique called the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique." Taking its meaning from the Tang poem "A pure heart in a jade pot," the first part, the Ice Heart Technique, can restrain one's seductive manner, transforming it into inner charm, making one appear no different from an ordinary woman. The second part, the Jade Pot Technique, can enable one to enjoy marital bliss without causing her husband's death.
Xin Hai's mother knew that practicing this technique would be very arduous and felt sorry for her daughter, so she asked, "Master, is there no better method?"
Daoist Chenyuan said, "There is another method, which is to find a man of the same mind and cultivate together. Dual cultivation emphasizes that both parties are one, of one heart and mind. This is relatively easy to achieve, but as far as I know, the methods of dual cultivation have long been lost."
Seeing Xin Hai's mother's expression, knowing she was worried about her daughter, Daoist Chenyuan gently said, "You are overthinking it. Xin Mei will become my disciple, and I will teach her the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique. She only needs to come to my place for one hour each day."
Xin Hai's mother was relieved and agreed to become my disciple, but she needed to go home and discuss it with her husband.
After returning home, she discussed the matter with her husband. He also knew of the nun Chenyuan's abilities, having personally witnessed a blue brick shatter into dust with a flick of her sleeve. Locals also whispered that she possessed qigong skills and was a master of internal martial arts, so they naturally believed her words.
Thus, Xinhai became her disciple. Chenyuan told her parents, "'Mei' (眉) is a homophone for 'seductive,' so I've changed her name to 'Xinhai' (心海) to avoid its sharpness." Her parents
agreed. From then on, Xinhai came to the Taoist temple daily to learn the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique from Chenyuan. Because of her young age, the nun first taught her the Ice Heart Technique to temper her seductive nature, without fail, rain or shine. By the time Xinhai was sixteen, she had already mastered the Ice Heart Technique to the fourth level. The nun then taught her the Jade Pot Technique as well. The Ice Heart and Jade Pot Technique complemented each other, leading to rapid progress. By the time Xinhai entered university, she had mastered the Ice Heart Technique to the seventh level and the Jade Pot Technique to the fifth level. The nun earnestly warned that one must not lose one's virginity until the Jade Pot Technique has been practiced to the fifth level, otherwise it would be harmful to both parties.
When Xin Hai reached the fifth level during his university years, he met the father of the Qingcheng sisters. Before their marriage, he brought them to the nun Chen Yuan. Seeing Xin Hai's progress in the technique, the nun encouraged him and blessed the couple with a long and happy life together.
Shortly after the Qingcheng sisters were born, they were also brought to the nun. At that time, the nun Chen Yuan was already ninety years old. Upon seeing them, she instructed the two girls to begin practicing the Ice Heart Technique from the age of eight. Xin Hai was astonished, knowing that his daughters shared the same constitution as him. Having experienced this firsthand, he promised to teach the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique to his two daughters. Not long after, the nun Chen Yuan passed away.
Originally, the family was harmonious and happy, but unexpectedly, when the Qingcheng sisters were three years old, her husband's plane crashed, a devastating blow to her. Soon after, her parents and in-laws all passed away. These repeated misfortunes made this woman even stronger.
After moving here, she unexpectedly reunited with her junior high school classmate, Ye Huiru. Learning of their similar family circumstances, they became even closer, sharing a common plight. Through her own efforts and her classmate's help, she managed to keep her husband's company afloat, and her childhood training in martial arts deterred many who coveted her and her classmate's beauty.
She had originally planned to begin teaching the Qingcheng sisters the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique, following her master's instructions. However, in just one day, Qingcheng's transformation was so drastic that even this internal martial arts expert couldn't decipher it. After all, the dual cultivation technique had long been lost; even the Daoist Chenyuan had only heard of it by name, and knew nothing about the cultivation path.
Qingcheng's changes left Xinhai somewhat conflicted. She was certain that Qingcheng and Yunfan had experienced something extraordinary, something Qingyun and Yunying were unaware of. But Xinhai couldn't be sure whether this experience was good or bad for Qingcheng, adding to her worries.
She could tell that Qingcheng and Yunfan possessed traces of internal energy cultivation, and it was even a superior martial art. She wasn't worried about Yunfan; for him, continuing the practice would undoubtedly bring benefits. However, she was concerned about the physiques of the Qingcheng sisters.
Internal energy cultivation wasn't something to be practiced haphazardly—she knew this basic common sense—but she couldn't figure out which master had taught these two little ones such superior techniques. Throughout the day, Xinhai, who had been silently observing, noticed something different in Qingcheng's gaze when she looked at Yunfan. So she decided to first investigate what kind of internal energy cultivation the two little ones were practicing.
Shortly after dinner, the energetic little ones, after much fuss, finally went to sleep. Since Yunfan couldn't openly sleep with Qingcheng at her house, each of the four little ones was assigned a room. Soon after the four little ones fell asleep, Xinhai began her daily practice.
Before long, she completed the twelve cycles of cultivation. While she was practicing, she naturally didn't realize that two other little ones were also practicing, though not in the same room, but rather intimately.
Glancing at the wall clock, it was already around one in the morning. She figured the little ones were fast asleep. Xin Hai went upstairs and tiptoed into Yun Fan's room. Knowing the two little ones had already mastered advanced internal martial arts techniques, she naturally didn't dare to be careless. Using her lightness skill, she entered Yun Fan's room and secretly laughed at her own excessive nervousness.
As for why she arrived at Yun Fan's room first, Xin Hai couldn't explain it herself; logically, Qing Cheng's room should be the closest. Instinctively, she felt she should go to Yun Fan's room first; perhaps the answer lay there.
Yun Fan was fast asleep, his arms outside the covers. Xin Hai slowly picked up Yun Fan's left hand and examined his meridians. She discovered that although Yun Fan was asleep, his internal energy was still slowly flowing, and the path it followed was unlike anything she knew.
Unintentionally, when Xin Hai's right Laogong acupoint aligned with Yun Fan's left and right Laogong acupoints, a strange change occurred. Xin Hai was horrified to discover a vast amount of energy flowing from Yun Fan's left hand along the meridians of his right hand. This energy was powerful yet subtle, vigorous yet pure.
It slowly but resolutely traveled through his body, even clearing several of his somewhat blocked veins. However, this surprise didn't last long. After circulating through most of his meridians, the energy slowly traveled down his left arm.
Xin Hai wanted to let go of Yun Fan's hand, but their hands were clasped together and she couldn't let go. Suddenly, she saw Yun Fan's other hand, and on a sudden inspiration, she quickly took his other hand. The immense energy flowed through her left hand and Yun Fan's right hand back into Yun Fan's body.
Xin Hai felt the energy flowing continuously from Yun Fan's left hand, circulating through her body before returning to Yun Fan's. Time slowly passed, and Xin Hai discovered that, besides the few meridians in her body that had been blocked due to stagnation in her heart meridian, several more meridians had been opened.
She suppressed her joy and urged her internal energy to flow with it. Without moving, she was fine, but once she moved, she found herself experiencing a surge of lust. She felt that Yun Fan before her was no longer an underage boy, but a charming man, and she was immediately horrified. Fortunately, her more than twenty years of internal energy cultivation hadn't been in vain; she quickly regained her senses and focused on her inner self, using this rare opportunity to practice her skills.
After twelve cycles, the energy gradually subsided. Xin Hai composed herself and gently tucked Yun Fan's arms into the blanket. She felt somewhat bewildered. She had cultivated the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique for over twenty years and had never experienced anything like this before. Moreover, when she had just circulated her energy, she was certain that she had indeed felt desire and emotion for a moment. But why was this happening?
She recalled what Daoist Chen Yuan had told her. The so-called Ice Heart Technique in the Jade Pot Ice Heart Technique was actually derived from a part of the female cultivation method in dual cultivation. Many righteous people disdained dual cultivation, considering it obscene and vulgar.
In reality, a crucial aspect of dual cultivation was controlling desire. While it emphasized following nature, it was absolutely not about indulging desire; indulging desire was a lower form of cultivation. This technique was specifically for controlling desire. Later, dual cultivation was lost, and no one knew what its original method was anymore.
The Daoist nun Chenyuan repeatedly instructed that the Ice Heart Technique only suppressed desire, but all things are impermanent, and suppression is not advisable. Originally, dual cultivation techniques could offset this process, but these were lost, so the Jade Pot Technique was passed down, allowing desire to slowly dissipate through marital harmony. This way, one could enjoy the pleasures of love without being overwhelmed by lust.
Xinhai recalled asking her master what would happen if she encountered a man practicing dual cultivation. Daoist nun Chenyuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Quickly distance yourself."
Although Daoist nun Chenyuan was a highly respected figure, she never imagined that a plane crash would shatter her family, forcing Xinhai to suppress her desires for years.
Thinking of this, she was startled: "Could it be that the two of them are practicing a dual cultivation technique?"
Xin Hai's face lit up with excitement. If so, Qingcheng was saved! Qingyun could learn her technique, or if that didn't work, Yunfan and Qingcheng could write it down for Qingyun to learn. Thinking this, her previous worries vanished. She decided she had to find Qingcheng and get to the bottom of it.
Looking at Yunfan on the bed, Xin Hai's face flushed. She had almost practiced dual cultivation with her future son-in-law!
What she didn't know was that for a moment just now, she had actually been practicing dual cultivation, only lacking sexual intercourse. Moreover, Yunfan had gained immense benefits from it.
After all, although the energy from the Harmony Immortal Fruit was vast, Qingcheng could only absorb a small portion. The dual cultivation technique was infinitely mysterious; if both parties fully cooperated, the one with lower cultivation would quickly catch up to a level similar to the one with higher cultivation.
Clearly, Qingcheng's skill was no match for her mother's. Lan Xinhai's twenty-plus years of cultivation had given Yunfan a tremendous benefit in that instant, allowing him to leap directly from the first to the third level.
Lan Xinhai, unaware of this, was still grateful for her escape and not having to face her daughter. She was also unaware that although that dual cultivation session was short, both of them had already left their imprints on each other's bodies. In this respect, Lan Xinhai hadn't learned authentic dual cultivation techniques, but Yunfan could sense it.
Lan Xinhai gave the little boy on the boat a deep look, then slowly left the room and went to her daughter's room.
Having learned from her previous experience, she didn't dare hold her daughter's hands. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that her daughter's cultivation method was actually connected to Yunfan's.
She was now 70% certain that this was the dual cultivation technique. Recalling her experience in Yunfan's room, she slowly clasped her hands with her daughter's, but nothing happened. She couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems it only works with a man!"
She secretly spat at herself, "He's just a child."
Looking at her daughter's beautiful face, she made a silent resolution: she had to talk to her daughter and Yunfan no matter what.
