For modern people, intimate relationships between men and women are nothing new.
But a situation like today’s had caught Shui Miao completely off guard.
Still, it wasn’t too bad—he understood that the pretty nurse was after money, and since he had given her so much compensation, he didn’t feel particularly guilty. After all, it wasn’t the first time he had been intimate with a woman, and since there hadn’t been any actual fusion involved, there was no real reason for remorse. Besides, what happened today wasn’t even his intention. Yet, thinking back on it, Shui Miao couldn’t help but find the encounter somewhat intriguing and oddly memorable.
Shui Miao was a man, a young and vigorous one. It was perfectly normal for him to have such thoughts.
The affairs between men and women are no stranger to modern people.
But what happened today was somewhat unexpected for Shui Miao.
Fortunately, he knew the beautiful nurse was after money, and since he had compensated her generously, he felt no guilt. After all, it wasn’t his first intimate encounter with a woman. They hadn’t truly merged, so there was nothing to feel remorseful about, and today’s incident wasn’t even his intention. Yet, upon reflection, Shui Miao found this unexpected romantic encounter somewhat unforgettable.
Shui Miao was a man, full of vigor and vitality—it was only natural for him to have such thoughts.
The hospital was quiet, and under the night sky, only the lights in the wards were still on.
Shui Miao walked straight out, took the elevator, and was about to reach the main entrance when he suddenly saw a frail, slightly hunched old man slowly emerging from the entrance. The old man stood motionless in the middle of the doorway, smiling as he looked at Shui Miao.
This old man seemed to be a cultivator!
With his spiritual sense, Shui Miao detected a pure Yin energy slowly circulating within the old man.
“Young man, you’re finally awake,” the old man said with a chuckle, stroking his beard. “I’m the doctor who treated you. My name is Guigu. Pleased to meet you.”
The old man was very enthusiastic and stepped forward proactively to shake Shui Miao’s hand.
Slightly taken aback, Shui Miao relied on his intuition to sense that the old man meant no harm. Even if he did, Shui Miao wasn’t afraid. He extended his hand, but the moment their hands touched, he noticed the old man’s hand was unusually cold. Before he could pull back, the old man firmly grasped his hand, checked his pulse, and smiled faintly. “Good! Very good. The union of Yin and Yang truly holds endless wonders. Without it, your soul wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”
The union of Yin and Yang clearly referred to intimate relations between a man and a woman.
The old man’s words seemed to allude to what had just happened in the ward.
“Who are you, really?” Shui Miao pulled his hand back and eyed the old man warily.
The old man smiled again, then turned and walked toward the entrance. “Come, come with me to my medicine shop. Your soul is severely injured, and I need to tell you what to watch out for and how to repair it. If you’re interested, I can even teach you how to protect your soul and dantian in the future.”
It seemed this old man was no ordinary person!
Shui Miao quickly caught up to him. “Sir, are you a cultivator? You look like an ordinary person, yet your aura carries a hint of a ghost.”
“I am indeed a ghost, so of course I have the aura of one. My name is Guigu. You can call me Doctor Guigu,” the old man replied calmly, his voice low.
Such a powerful ghost! He looked exactly like a living person. Shui Miao blinked. “Doctor Guigu, why are you here? Did Sister Bai ask you to save me?”
“Yes, exactly. It was your Sister Bai,” Doctor Guigu nodded gently. “But I didn’t save you for free. You need to pay me with some medicinal herbs. Your Sister Bai said you have them, which is why I agreed to help. Mending your soul cost me a lot of spiritual medicine.”
“No problem, I do have many medicinal herbs. Once we reach your shop, I’ll give them to you,” Shui Miao replied, feeling relieved. But then he asked, “By the way, Doctor Guigu, why can’t I sense any other ghosts around here? Where have they all gone?”
“Heh, those ghosts were driven away by your Sister Bai and the others. I predicted you and that young lady would unite, so I had them do it. The reason is simple: a soul needs the harmony of Yin and Yang to heal. Without such union, your soul wouldn’t recover quickly. Starting today, you must engage in union with a woman every day, and it must be a different woman each time. After forty-nine days, not only will your soul be fully healed, but it will also be strengthened. This is what we call the path of dual cultivation through Yin and Yang.” Doctor Guigu’s tone remained calm, and though the words sounded indecent, coming from him, they sounded like profound wisdom from a master.
“Dual cultivation through Yin and Yang!”
Shui Miao awkwardly pursed his lips. “Doctor Guigu, is there any other way? After forty-nine days of this, won’t I become a womanizer? Besides, I really don’t want to do this. What happened today was forced upon me—it wasn’t my choice…”
The road under the night sky was also quiet.
Doctor Guigu waved his hand. “You mustn’t think that way. The union of Yin and Yang is a sacred act—it is neither dirty nor evil. If it were, wouldn’t all humans be dirty and evil? In truth, this is a misconception. However, asking you to dual cultivate with different women does go against human ethics. But it is the most effective path for dual cultivation. There is another way: find a highly cultivated woman to dual cultivate with. That would yield even better results. If you can find a celestial maiden, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.”
“By leaps and bounds!”
Shui Miao suddenly realized his thoughts had taken a vulgar turn—that was not what he had initially meant.
“Yes, by leaps and bounds,” Doctor Guigu repeated.
Scratching his head, Shui Miao felt somewhat embarrassed. Finding a celestial maiden was beyond his capabilities, and he couldn’t even go to the immortal realm for the next ten years. This suggestion was practically useless. However, finding a powerful female ghost might be possible. Shui Miao thought of Bai Feng but quickly felt frustrated—he already saw her as an older sister. Engaging in such acts with her would be unthinkable!
Damn it, I’m really awful!
Guided by Doctor Guigu’s words, Shui Miao found himself thinking inappropriate thoughts and inwardly scolded himself.
Just then, Doctor Guigu spoke again, “If you can’t find a celestial maiden, a powerful ghost will do!”
“Please, Doctor Guigu, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’d like to ask, if I don’t dual cultivate and just practice normally, how long will it take for my soul to heal? Also, you mentioned a method to protect the dantian earlier. What is it?”
“Once we reach the medicine shop and you give me the herbs, we’ll talk.”
Doctor Guigu spoke indifferently and suddenly quickened his pace. Though he appeared to be walking slowly, his actual speed was faster than an electric scooter.
Seeing this, Shui Miao hurriedly followed, breaking into a run.
After running for a while, Shui Miao was soon out of breath and had to circulate his immortal energy to keep up.
But the moment he activated his immortal energy, a sharp, tearing pain shot through his lower abdomen. Reluctantly, Shui Miao had to stop using his energy.
Destroying City God Bai Yang had left him with such severe consequences!
Only then did Shui Miao realize how serious his condition was—no wonder Doctor Guigu kept emphasizing dual cultivation.
The dull pain in his lower abdomen made Shui Miao extremely uncomfortable.
Doctor Guigu had already disappeared from sight. Shui Miao had no choice but to continue walking slowly. This was a road leading to the countryside, with no vehicles in sight. If not for the gentle breeze, the chirping of insects in the grass, and the pain in his abdomen, Shui Miao would have thought he was dreaming. Such a quiet night, such a mysterious Doctor Guigu, and the unbelievable encounter with the beautiful nurse earlier—it all felt too surreal.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind stirred, and Doctor Guigu reappeared. He shook his head at Shui Miao. “Young man, now do you understand how severe your injuries are? If not for your extraordinary dantian, you would have already scattered to the winds, becoming one with the universe. You’re far too foolish. As a cultivator, you must first see through the illusions of the mortal world. In your eyes, women are objects of desire, but in my eyes, they are medicine. Having medicine and not using it—isn’t that self-torture? Weren’t you the one who claimed to be a master feng shui practitioner? Feng shui masters understand the laws of nature, borrowing its power to achieve success. But what about you? You abandon the natural path, act shortsightedly and willfully. If that’s the case, then let your traditional thinking be the death of you. Don’t come to me for treatment anymore.”
It was clear that Doctor Guigu was displeased with Shui Miao’s refusal to listen.
In truth, Doctor Guigu was using Shui Miao as an experiment to test his theory of dual cultivation, hence his persuasive and flowery language.
Shui Miao didn’t respond. Instead, he sat down on the spot and began absorbing the medicinal energy from the Sacred Ring to heal his soul.
Shui Miao wasn’t foolish enough to blindly obey Doctor Guigu.
Moreover, after what happened with the beautiful nurse, Shui Miao hadn’t noticed any significant improvement in his soul.
Thus, he began to suspect Doctor Guigu.
Surprisingly, Bru’s medicine was truly miraculous. As soon as the medicinal energy entered his body, Shui Miao’s pain lessened considerably.
Noticing this, Doctor Guigu’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked, “What medicine did you just use? Was it Soul Lingzhi from the Netherworld, Blood Pills from the Rakshasa Realm, or Soul-Restoring Grass from the depths of hell?”
Shui Miao left directly, took the elevator down, and was nearly at the hospital’s main entrance when suddenly he saw a frail, slightly hunched old man slowly walking in through the gate. The old man stood still in the doorway, smiling at him.
This old man seemed to be a cultivator!
Shui Miao sensed with his spiritual awareness and discovered a steady flow of pure Yin energy circulating within the old man’s body.
“Young man, you’re finally awake,” the old man chuckled, stroking his beard. “I’m the doctor who helped treat you. My surname is Guigu. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
The old man was very warm, stepping forward enthusiastically to shake Shui Miao’s hand.
Shui Miao hesitated slightly, but instinctively felt the old man wasn’t a bad person. Even if he were, Shui Miao wasn’t afraid of him. He extended his hand, but the moment their hands touched, he noticed how unusually cold the old man’s hand was. Before he could pull away, the old man grabbed his wrist, took his pulse, and smiled slightly. “Good! Very good indeed! The union of Yin and Yang—truly wondrous. If your soul body hadn’t benefited from this union, it wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”
The union of Yin and Yang clearly referred to sexual relations.
“What exactly are you?” Shui Miao pulled his hand away and eyed the old man warily.
The old man smiled again slightly, then turned and walked toward the exit. “Come, come. Let’s go to my herbal shop. Your soul body is gravely injured. I need to tell you what you should be careful about, how to repair it, and if you want to know, I can even teach you how to protect your soul body and dantian in the future.”
Clearly, this old man was no ordinary person!
Shui Miao hurried after him. “Uncle, are you a cultivator? You look completely normal, yet why do I sense a ghostly aura from you?”
“I was originally a ghost, so of course I carry the aura of a spirit. My name is Guigu. You can call me Doctor Guigu.” The old man spoke calmly, his tone low.
What a powerful ghost! He looked just like a living person. Shui Miao blinked his eyes. “Then, Doctor Guigu, why are you here? Was it Bai Jie who asked you to save me?”
“Yes, that’s right, your Bai Jie,” Doctor Guigu nodded gently. “But I didn’t save you for free. You need to pay me with some medicinal herbs as compensation. Your Bai Jie said you had them, so I decided to save you. Mending your soul cost me quite a few rare herbs.”
“No problem. I do have many herbs on me. Once we get to your shop, I’ll give them to you.” Shui Miao relaxed immediately, but then asked curiously, “By the way, Doctor Guigu, why can’t I sense any ghosts around here? Where have they all gone?”
“Hmph, those ghosts were all driven away by your Bai Jie and others. Because I calculated that you and that cute little girl would have intimate relations, I instructed them to do so. The reason is simple—your soul body needs the balance of Yin and Yang to heal. Without such union, your soul wouldn’t recover quickly. Starting today, you must have intimate relations with women every day, and they must be different women. After forty-nine days, your soul body will not only heal completely but also become stronger. This is called the Dao of Yin-Yang cultivation together.” Doctor Guigu’s tone remained calm, yet his words sounded like a master transmitting sacred wisdom.
“The Dao of Yin-Yang cultivation together!”
Shui Miao awkwardly curled his lips. “Doctor Guigu, besides this dual cultivation method, is there any other way? After forty-nine days, won’t I end up like a stallion? Besides, I really don’t want to do this. What happened today was purely out of necessity…”
The road under the night sky was also quiet.
Doctor Guigu waved his hand. “Don’t think about it that way. The union of Yin and Yang is a sacred act, not dirty or evil at all. If it were evil or dirty, wouldn’t humanity itself be a filthy and evil existence? Indeed, there’s a misconception here. However, asking you to engage in dual cultivation with different women does violate human ethics. But this is indeed the best way for dual cultivation. There is another option: you can find a woman with very high cultivation to practice dual cultivation with. That would be more effective. If you can find a fairy, your cultivation will skyrocket.”
“Skyrocket!”
Shui Miao suddenly felt embarrassed. That phrase didn’t mean what he was thinking.
“Yes, skyrocket,” Doctor Guigu repeated.
Shui Miao scratched his head, feeling somewhat awkward. Finding a fairy was beyond his capability, especially since he couldn’t go to the Immortal Realm for the next ten years. That suggestion was basically useless. However, finding a female ghost with strong abilities might be possible. He couldn’t help but think of Bai Feng, but the thought depressed him—he had already regarded Bai Feng as his older sister. Incest was out of the question!
Damn it, I’m so damn stupid!
Influenced by Doctor Guigu’s words, he had started thinking about things he shouldn’t. Shui Miao scolded himself inwardly.
At that moment, Doctor Guigu spoke again. “If you can’t find a fairy, finding a powerful ghost spirit would also work.”
“Please, Doctor Guigu, stop talking about this. Let me ask you, if I don’t do dual cultivation and just cultivate normally, how long will it take for my soul to heal? Also, you mentioned earlier there’s a method to protect the dantian. What is that method?”
“Once we get to the herbal shop and you give me the herbs, I’ll tell you.”
Doctor Guigu said indifferently, then suddenly quickened his pace. Although he appeared to be walking slowly, his actual speed was faster than an electric scooter.
Seeing this, Shui Miao hurriedly followed behind.
After running for a while, Shui Miao was already panting heavily and had to use his immortal energy to help him run faster.
However, the moment he slightly activated his immortal energy, a sharp, tearing pain shot from his lower abdomen. Forced to stop using his energy, Shui Miao felt even worse.
Defeating the city god Bai Yang had left him with such serious consequences!
Only now did Shui Miao realize how severe his condition was, finally understanding why Doctor Guigu kept emphasizing dual cultivation.
The dull pain in his lower abdomen made him extremely uncomfortable.
Doctor Guigu had already run far ahead and disappeared from sight. Shui Miao could only slowly continue walking. This was a rural road with no vehicles in sight. If it weren’t for the gentle breeze blowing, the insects chirping in the grass, and the pain in his lower abdomen, Shui Miao would have thought he was dreaming. Such a quiet night, such a bizarre ghost doctor, and that previously inconceivable beautiful nurse—it was all too surreal.
“Whoosh!”
A gust of wind blew, and Doctor Guigu returned. Looking at Shui Miao, he shook his head. “Young man, now you understand how serious your injuries are. If your dantian weren’t so special, you would have already perished and become one with the universe. You’re too naive. As a cultivator, you must first see through all worldly matters. To you, women are lust; to me, they are medicine. You have medicine at your disposal but refuse to use it. Isn’t that just torturing yourself? Aren’t you claiming to be a top feng shui master? A feng shui master should understand the Dao of nature, using natural forces to aid success. But what did you do? You abandoned the Dao of nature, acted recklessly with short-sightedness. If you insist on clinging to your traditional views, then let them be the death of you. Don’t come looking for me for treatment again.”
Clearly, Doctor Guigu was very unhappy that Shui Miao hadn’t listened to him.
In fact, Doctor Guigu was experimenting on Shui Miao, testing his dual cultivation theory, hence his persuasive words.
Shui Miao didn’t respond but instead sat down on the spot, absorbing medicinal energy from the Holy Yuan Ring to heal his soul body.
Shui Miao wasn’t foolish—he wouldn’t simply obey Doctor Guigu’s instructions.
Moreover, after his encounter with the beautiful nurse, he hadn’t noticed any significant improvement in his soul body.
Therefore, Shui Miao began to doubt this Doctor Guigu.
Still, the medicine from the Holy Yuan Ring was indeed miraculous. As medicinal energy entered his body, the pain in Shui Miao’s abdomen immediately eased.
Seeing this, Doctor Guigu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “What medicine did you just use? Was it the Hun Ling Zhi from the Nine Infernal Realms, the Xue Po San from the Realm of Mara, and the Xu Hun Cao that grows deep in hell?”
