Left alone in the living room with the old man, Lin Feng took the opportunity to discuss with him the various phenomena that occurred while he was practicing the “Tao Te Ching.” Knowing Lin Feng’s rapid progress, the old man looked at him with newfound respect and imparted his years of insights. With the guidance of this sage, Lin Feng’s many doubts were suddenly cleared, and he benefited greatly. Although his spiritual cultivation didn’t immediately surge by several times, his perspective broadened significantly. He casually mentioned his experiences since waking up, feeling as light as if he could fly, and how he was noticed by many girls at school, and even “kidnapped” by a female police officer on the street. The old man’s eyes visibly lit up upon hearing this, and he asked in surprise, “Lin Lin, what do you think about these romantic encounters?”
“Romantic encounters? Grandpa, I don’t see it that way…”
“Oh?!”
With neither his mother nor Wang Xiaoyun present, Lin Feng decided to reveal his true feelings. He was inherently good-natured, although he often entertained grandiose dreams of conquering all the beautiful women in the world, those were unrealistic fantasies, just for amusement. Now, suddenly, such a possibility was within reach, and his first reaction was not joy but fear. All because of that mysterious game equipment inside him that he hadn’t fully understood yet! He was worried that all these changes were the work of Niu Niu in the dark. Lin Feng hadn’t decided whether to tell anyone else about Niu Niu inside him, but that didn’t mean he was willing to accept all the changes Niu Niu brought, especially those like the underwear thief and the cold-blooded murder, which were definitely not good signs. After discovering these anomalies, with no one else to turn to, he sought advice from the old man.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s aversion to these changes, the old man calmed down from his initial shock and looked at Lin Feng with a meaningful gaze, making Lin Feng feel uneasy. The old man nodded in approval, saying, “It’s commendable that you have such a mindset. I underestimated you! Lin Lin, do you know why you have a penchant for stealing underwear? And why you suddenly became so popular with girls?”
“Ah? Grandpa, do you know the reason?”
The old man nodded, “Of course, last time I told you this was human instinct, that food and sex are natural, but I didn’t tell you the deeper meaning, would you like to know?”
“Ah? Grandpa, of course, I want to know!”
“Well, the way of nature, you can control your desires and resist temptation, showing your deep-rooted wisdom. Since ancient times, there have been techniques like ‘Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation’ and ‘Homebound Female Technique’ for dual cultivation. Have you heard of them?”
“Uh…” Hearing these terms from the old man, Lin Feng had some guesses, thinking, how did the conversation shift to these topics? A man of his age, discussing such taboo subjects with a young man like him, could it be that the old man had an ulterior motive, testing him with these sensitive topics?
“Grandpa, aren’t those… those things about… you know, drawing yin to supplement yang?”
Lin Feng was quite embarrassed, barely managing to ask the question, and even then, his words were muddled. After all, this was the first time he had ever discussed such a sensitive topic with an elder. With peers, there would be no taboos, they could say anything, but with an elder, he couldn’t gauge the appropriate boundaries.
Seeing Lin Feng’s embarrassment, the old man laughed heartily. “Hehehe, silly child, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Grandpa is a doctor, after all.” After a brief pause, the old man continued, “Are you saying those are some kind of low-class evil arts?”
Lin Feng nodded emphatically.
“While dual cultivation does involve both men and women, it’s not some low-class evil art! The way of nature is an attitude of ancient Taoist cultivation, and the joy of human relationships, the interaction of yin and yang, is a great blessing bestowed by heaven on all beings. However, in this world, there are too many hypocrites who pretend to be virtuous in public but indulge in vice in private, distorting and tarnishing the good practices of our ancestors, which is truly lamentable.”
The old man, for some reason, became quite emotional, stroking his long beard and sighing deeply. His expression showed great sentimentality.
“Uh… Grandpa, then, does this dual cultivation technique have anything to do with… with my bad habits?”
Lin Feng pondered, thinking the old man had been talking around the issue for so long, bringing up such an awkward topic without explaining clearly, was he encouraging him to let go of his reservations and engage in some kind of dual cultivation? That would be a bit too… exaggerated, wasn’t it like inciting him to become a flower thief? The thought of being a flower thief made him uneasy. However, thinking about the speed of his spiritual cultivation, it seemed that advancing further into the realm of concentration and body refinement would be quite effortless! At that level, he could truly delve into the mysteries, and at that point, another face of this world would appear before him.
The old man thought Lin Feng would certainly interject to ask what this new face of the world would look like, but surprisingly, Lin Feng did not pick up the thread of conversation. The old man cleared his throat and continued, “However, everything has its pros and cons. Your foundation is not stable, yet the masculine energy within you has surged significantly in a short time. When yang energy is abundant but yin energy is deficient, the balance between these two innate energies is lost, leading to a temporary imbalance of yin and yang within your body, which is not beneficial.”
“Originally, yin and yang are in a cycle of mutual opposition and generation, continuously supporting and transforming each other. As long as the body’s meridians can withstand the trials of this transformation process, this temporary imbalance will naturally resolve over time.”
“Alternatively, through the method of ‘body yang interaction,’ with the help of another cultivator whose energy nature is opposite, the two innate energies can be harmonized, allowing for a quick restoration of balance.”
“Body yang interaction?” Lin Feng was confused. He thought to himself, if there’s such a thing as body yang interaction, then there must also be body yin and yang interaction. I understand the concept of yin and yang interaction; it’s nothing more than the intimate relations between men and women. But what does ‘body’ refer to? Could it be something more unique? Why is the old man discussing these topics with me… He glanced at the old man, too embarrassed to inquire further, but his mind was racing with images from the adult films he had secretly watched before, suddenly flooding his mind like a series of movie clips playing out on Niu Niu’s smart interface.
A succession of voluptuous and alluring women appeared in his mind. With just a slight thought, the details of their bodies were vividly displayed before him, far clearer and more real than any 1080p digital high-definition video. It seemed that with just a thought, these earthly beauties would materialize in front of him, at his beck and call. Sora, Rina, Fuji Lan… a parade of popular porn stars, each one intimately interacting with him in his mind. Whenever his thoughts lingered on any image a bit longer, he could faintly hear the seductive moans of these women or even their provocative cries… These mental teases were like a dream.
