"Inquiry and Seeking for Ultimate Bliss Refining Soul Method."

    Gazing at the deeper calligraphy on the cover of the cultivation method, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but mull it over for a few seconds. This soul refining technique seems to be a dual-refinement one.

    Yes, it seems to be a dual-refinement cultivation method for refining the soul, similar to body-double cultivation.

    Lu Jin'an has heard of the cultivating methods from the Hehuan Sect that combine both the refinement of one's spirit and soul. Although these methods can indeed enhance the strength of one's spirit and soul, they also come with significant drawbacks.

    Because the experience of dual-refinement of spirit and soul is far more intense than that of body-double cultivation, one can easily become addicted to it. This could lead to emotional extremes, resulting in either "collecting yang to supplement yin" or "collecting yin to supplement yang."

    Even more serious, someone who is completely immersed in dual-refinement of spirit and soul, and cannot be pulled out.

    There have been too many such precedents in the Hehuan Sect.

    Although the Hehuan Sect also has powerful cultivators, those who have reached the peak of their power have evolved to understand the yin-yang principles of the universe, rather than relying on the trivial yin-yang practices between men and women to achieve greatness.

    Therefore, such cultivation methods should not be placed in such a prominent location...

    "It's still in book form..."

    Lu Jin'an looked up at the full layer of soul method spirit slips, then down at the manual in his hand, thought for a moment, and finally opened it to read.

    Take the essence, and leave the dregs.

    Standing where he was, Lu Jin'an originally wanted to quickly skim through it, but gradually slowed down, reading each word and sentence silently in his mind.

    "The harmony of yin and yang is a matter of life and death, a realization of life, a taste and richness, full-body roundness..."

    "Yin-yang dual cultivation, the vitality, spirit, and mind are integrated as one; life and literature are combined, and the three energies are cooked and transformed, returning to the root of life, and the pillar has a divine being..."

    Lu Jin'an turned the pages one by one, finding that this soul refining method had no mantra. All the mantras were integrated into each word and sentence.

    "The long-term excitement should not be limited to one aspect of the root, but should be experienced throughout the body. When the qi integrates with the body and achieves harmony, the vitality, spirit, and mind will blend together, blending into the entire body for a great sense of pleasure..."

    "Divine light returns to tranquility, heart and body achieve harmony, seeking up and down, yin and yang blend, blending into clarity, divine light shines brightly, merging to foster life essence."

    Turning to the second-to-last page of "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method," Lu Jin'an let out a long breath.

    This heavenly-ranked soul refining technique that looks like a dual-refinement soul method is indeed quite amazing, amazing enough for Lu Jin'an to think that it should appear in the sixth or seventh layer of the Supreme Method Pavilion.

    However, after reading it a second time, Lu Jin'an began to understand why this soul refining method would appear in the fifth layer suitable for harmony state.

    More than being a dual-refinement soul method, it's more like a dual-refinement practice that involves collecting yang to supplement yin or collecting yin to supplement yang.

    Because the 'pursuit' in 'up and down seeking' is not referring to seeking with hands, but one-sided seeking... It's a bit like a furnace and cauldron.

    Just this one point deviates from the principle of dual cultivation.

    However, despite this, this soul refining method poses no harm to the other party compared to a furnace and cauldron.

    Dual cultivation is for mutual progress. Although "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method" is not related to the cauldron method, one party always holds the initiative.

    "Master and slave..."

    Lu Jin'an muttered to himself, feeling that the word "master and slave" is more suitable to describe this soul refining method.

    And the level of "master and slave" is very high, somewhat like the master-slave relationship between a young miss and a concubine maid.

    While contemplating, Lu Jin'an, who had read it for the third time, turned to the last page and saw three small characters: "The First Volume is Completed."

    "Is it just the first volume?"

    Lu Jin'an was somewhat surprised and felt that the upper volume had already covered everything. How could there be a lower volume?

    Or perhaps there is also a middle volume?

    That seems unlikely.

    Though curious about this soul refining method, Lu Jin'an intended to search the fifth floor. As soon as he took a step, the "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method" in his hand was taken by a delicate jade hand with well-defined joints.

    "Senior sister?" Lu Jinan turned his head to look at Mu Qingyue, whose eyes were covered by a black cloth, "How did you come here?"

    "Concerning my junior." Mu Qingyue's voice remained as cold and piercing as a winter day, with no trace of emotion.

    But after being alone in Jing'an City, Lu Jinan knew that his senior sister was reserved and secretive.

    Different from Nan Zhi!

    Before revealing everything to Nan Zhi, she was reserved and secretive because she dared not show her feelings too openly.

    After revealing everything to herself by scaring her into becoming a sword spirit, Nan Zhi opened up her heart and revealed her true feelings.

    What is 'measured by quantity' and what is 'yes'…… She directly says it to you, rather than hiding it in her heart.

    One is the cool and gentle Saint of Qingmiao Palace, and the other is a cold, silent Sword Immortal of the Wandaocong. How can the contrast be so great?

    As soon as Lu Jinan heard Mu Qingyue's voice, he immediately shifted to the side, making sure he wasn't blocked by anything.

    At the same time, he secretly activated his spiritual power.

    Because he was worried that his senior sister would, like in Jing'an City, tease him in a 'coercive' manner in the quiet 'library'.

    After all, not many disciples from the Wandaocong can come to this level, and there are only arrays of protection here. There are no senior elders from the sect who can watch your thoughts.

    Few people and quietness, with no 'monitoring', is the perfect setting for his reserved senior sister to express herself.

    However, what relieved Lu Jinan was that his senior sister's attention was solely on the manual in her hand.

    She gently stroked the deeper characters on the cover with her slender, well-defined fingers and lightly asked, "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method? Dual-refinement soul method? Do you want to learn this, junior brother?"

    "I was just looking."

    "But junior brother, you've read it three times."

    Lu Jinan was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you spying on me?"

    "I just thought that junior brother has been staying in the Supreme Method Pavilion for too long, so I came to check it out." Mu Qingyue said lightly: "I can practice this with junior brother."

    Looking at the black cloth covering Mu Qingyue's eyes and thinking about the records of "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method," Lu Jinan suddenly thought of 'collar.'

    It was just a moment, but his inner vigilance immediately arose. However, he thought that his senior sister didn't know the content of this soul refining method, so he said calmly: "I'm just looking. After all, I've seen quite a lot lately. Can't you also practice with me?"

    I read it three times because I felt this soul refining method has something valuable to offer. I wasn't reading it for practice.”

    As he said this, he reached out to take the secret manual from Mu Qingyue's hand: "I want to make some notes."

    Mu Qingyue didn't say anything and released her hand: "This is the only soul refining method that can be read three times by junior brother."

    "Have you been following me all this time?" Lu Jinan rolled his eyes: "Are you bored?"

    Mu Qingyue slightly tilted her head: "Practice the sword, meditate, and watch over you."

    Lu Jinan smiled: "What kind of meditation?"

    "I also need to enhance my soul power."

    "Um," Lu Jinan nodded, took the "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method" to the table, picked up a brush, and began to take notes. As he wrote, he also connected with the soul methods he had read a few days ago to make an outline and organize them.

    After finishing his notes, he placed the "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method" back in its original location and started looking at other soul method slips.

    Mu Qingyue did not disturb his quietness and started walking around the fifth floor. Through the gaps between bookshelves, she looked at Lu Jinan, who had a focused expression, and her cheeks had turned a little redder for some reason.

    "Even if you, my junior brother, only extract a bit of essence from 'The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Soul Refining Method,' you can't escape..."

    "When you finish reading and start practicing, you will understand me and know me better. You can get closer to me~~~"

    Mu Qingyue, with her cheeks flushed slightly, didn't know what she was thinking. She supported the shelf and took deep breaths for a while before gradually calming down.

    Then she walked to the front of the bookcase and took out "The Pursuit of Ultimate Bliss Tonsoul Method." She said to Lu Jinan, who had just looked up, "Junior brother, you've read this soul method three times. I'm curious, I want to borrow it and read it back."

    Lu Jinan nodded indifferently, as he wasn't planning to practice the full article.

    It doesn't matter to him even if his senior sister does practice it.
