Chapter 414: Greatly Enhanced Cultivation

Shui Miao had no idea that Yamazato Minako was no ordinary woman. Born with an extraordinary physique, she was a rare beauty who could bring most men to their knees within moments. Only an experienced old master, by pressing the center of her forehead, could barely defeat her. But this time, the old master had paid the ultimate price with his life, making it a costly victory.

Therefore, Yamazato Minako could indeed be called the ultimate priestess.

She had charm, skill, and tenderness—all the qualities that made her a deadly seductress to any man.

But what made her most terrifying was her mastery of dark arts and her ruthless, murderous heart.

Shui Miao dared not be careless. He quickly calmed his mind and focused all his energy on the confrontation.

Sure enough, after calming himself, Shui Miao felt much better.

At this moment, Yamazato Minako released Shui Miao’s pressure points and initiated a fierce battle in the water. Shui Miao was already in the zone. After about ten minutes, Yamazato Minako suddenly let out a moan. Her voice sent waves of distraction through Shui Miao, who took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm and keep going.

Suddenly, Yamazato Minako smiled and said, “Alright, you’ve endured so well. I won’t tease you anymore. Now, let’s begin our dual cultivation.”

She turned around, positioning Shui Miao behind her. She reached back, interlacing her fingers with his, and guided him to relax. Then she taught him a technique to channel his energy. The method was mysterious—it directed spiritual energy down to their conjoined point, into the other’s body, and then back into her own. Repeating this cycle could enhance their spiritual power.

Shui Miao had never experienced such a technique before.

He couldn’t help but worry—once his energy entered her body, would he be able to retrieve it?

Cautious by nature, Shui Miao moved most of his energy from his dantian to other parts of his body, only using a small portion to follow Yamazato Minako’s method. After one full cycle, when he withdrew his energy, he found it had significantly increased.

Yamazato Minako turned around, wrapping her legs around Shui Miao’s waist and hugging his neck. With a smile, she asked, “Your energy is unique—is this Daoist energy?”

She wasn’t familiar with his energy, hence her question.

Shui Miao smirked coldly, “Of course it’s Daoist energy. But I’m curious—why did my energy increase so much after just one cycle using your method?”

“Haha, silly, this is called Yin-Yang cultivation. Yin and Yang together can create everything. So how could a little spiritual energy be a problem?” Yamazato Minako looked at him tenderly. “Is your energy sufficient? If not, let’s eat something. You’re my treasure—I don’t want you to get too exhausted.”

“What happens if we keep doing this until the end?”

Shui Miao had no mood for small talk and wanted to learn more about the secrets of Yin-Yang cultivation.

“Then we’ll get stronger and stronger. If we keep cultivating together like this, in just a few days, our power could multiply tenfold. If we keep it up for half a year, we might even ascend to immortality.” Yamazato Minako couldn’t get enough of him, admiring him more and more. “My darling, I’ve stored plenty of food and supplements here. I’ve been waiting for someone like you. We can make love day and night, cherish each other, and eventually ascend together—then we can keep doing this forever!”

“In that case, I won’t hold back!”

Shui Miao prepared his soul-devouring energy, mobilizing all his spiritual power.

“Ahh!”

“You’re actually this strong…”

“Did you pretend to be weak and not resist on purpose?”

Feeling the surge of Shui Miao’s energy, Yamazato Minako was taken aback. She never expected this young man to possess such immense strength, rivaling her own. What terrified her most was that Shui Miao’s energy could double after just one cycle. After a few more rounds, she would no longer be able to match him and would be completely at his mercy.

Frowning, Shui Miao snapped, “No more nonsense. As long as you don’t try to trick me, I won’t harm you.”

With that, he channeled a wave of soul-devouring energy into his hands and transferred it onto Yamazato Minako’s back.

“What is that?”

Yamazato Minako sensed the energy and became extremely alarmed.

“Hmph!”

Shui Miao snorted coldly, then activated the energy, wrapping it around a stone. In a single breath, the stone was corroded and vanished.

“Ahh!”

Yamazato Minako gasped in shock. Suddenly, she realized—this young man’s cultivation was unfathomable. He had been playing possum all along!

“Nice scream, hehe…” Shui Miao grinned mischievously. “Now, if you try to trick me, we’ll both end up destroyed. But if you cooperate, we can cultivate together and gain endless benefits. I promise, as long as you don’t try to deceive me, I won’t harm you.”

Yamazato Minako could no longer maintain her seductive smile. She stared at Shui Miao like he was a monster, her heart pounding with fear.

She had planned to manipulate him, only to be manipulated herself.

She had been so confident, so sure of victory. Now, her life hung by a thread.

Dazed, she and Shui Miao completed another cycle of energy exchange. Shui Miao’s spiritual power doubled again.

Yamazato Minako’s power also increased several times over.

She had only cultivated water-based energy, but through dual cultivation with Shui Miao, she not only enhanced her water energy but also began to generate traces of other elemental energies.

Feeling the immense benefits, Yamazato Minako became delighted and started cooperating more earnestly.

Shui Miao was equally thrilled. Where else could he find such a rapid increase in power—doubling his energy every ten minutes?

He continued for over an hour, still full of vigor.

Yamazato Minako, however, began to tire.

Shui Miao could recover his stamina through spiritual energy, but her cultivation level was lower than his, and she didn’t know how to use energy to restore herself.

“I can’t do it anymore… I’m out of strength…”

“No problem. I’ll cultivate with you and also help refine your body to restore your energy.”

Without wasting time, Shui Miao split his focus, using his energy to help Yamazato Minako recover her strength.

“Ding!”

The elevator doors opened, and Wolf King rushed down with a group of people.

Hearing the noise, Yamazato Minako whispered urgently in Shui Miao’s ear, “I was careless. I killed the old man, so Wolf King won’t let me go. We must dive underwater. There’s a cave beneath the spring that leads to another exit. We both have spiritual energy, so we can hold our breath and swim through.”

“Alright!”

Unwilling to waste time, Shui Miao took a deep breath and dove underwater, following Yamazato Minako into the cave. After swimming for two or three minutes, they emerged into a vast, pitch-black open water area.

Yamazato Minako climbed out of the water and turned on a solar lamp.

In front of them was an open space. Under the lamp stood a tent with a mat and blankets inside, and outside was a small table with many bags filled with food.

“This is a hideout I prepared long ago. I thought I wouldn’t need it, but it seems fate brought us here. I’ve checked this place thoroughly—it only contains rocks and spring water. It’s very safe. They won’t find us here. Don’t worry.” Her flawless, radiant body glowed under the light, incredibly seductive.

Shui Miao was impatient and didn’t want to waste a second. He pulled her into the tent and immediately resumed their dual cultivation.

Looking down at Yamazato Minako beneath him, he asked, “What’s Wolf King’s relationship with the old man? Do you know who the old man really was?”

Yamazato Minako had originally thought Shui Miao was close to the old man, but now she realized they weren’t familiar with each other.

“Wolf King is the leader of an extreme terrorist organization here. I heard he hired the old man to build a tomb. That’s all I know. He probably came here because the tomb was nearly complete, but now that I’ve killed the old man, he’ll be furious and come after me for revenge.” Yamazato Minako answered cooperatively, looking at Shui Miao. “As for the old man, I only know he was called U Lei—a dirty old creep who always hung around with extremists. He seemed to know a bit about everything, but I don’t know his exact identity.”

“Is Wolf King really that bad?”

Shui Miao’s mind turned to thoughts of killing. If Wolf King was a terrorist, he might as well take justice into his own hands.

“Extremely bad. Kidnapping, extortion, murder, robbery, drug trafficking, rape—there’s no evil they haven’t committed.” Yamazato Minako’s voice carried anger, clearly having suffered at Wolf King’s hands before.

Shui Miao, still on top of Yamazato Minako, suddenly stopped moving. He closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly grabbed a large rock and hurled it out.

“Clang!”

Wolf King and his men had searched the cave and were about to leave when they heard the noise. Wolf King immediately halted and ordered his men to search again.

“What are you doing?” Yamazato Minako looked at Shui Miao in confusion.

Shui Miao smiled faintly, “Helping you eliminate future threats. Tell me, do you think they can find this underwater passage?”

“Probably. The madam knows about it,” Yamazato Minako thought for a moment and replied. “My junior apprentice sister knows too. This is a problem. They’ll come after us. Even if they can’t find it, Wolf King’s personality is such that he’ll probably use explosives to destroy the underwater tunnel. Then we’ll be trapped forever.”

The more she thought, the more terrified she became, unable to understand why Shui Miao had drawn Wolf King here.

“No worries. Once our power grows, we’ll find a way out.”

Shui Miao had sensed that Wolf King’s group carried guns but no explosives, so there was no need to worry about the tunnel being destroyed.

If they wanted to come here, they’d have to swim underwater.

Without being cultivators or having oxygen tanks, ordinary people would drown before reaching them.

Thus, Shui Miao felt no fear.

His mindset had changed—he had become someone who acted decisively on his desires.

A few minutes later, Yamazato Minako grew impatient and nudged Shui Miao, who was still motionless on top of her. “Why aren’t you moving? You feel like a stone!”

“Hehe, dual cultivation is like a plug connecting to a socket. You don’t have to move to conduct electricity. Let’s save our energy. But if you really want to move, I don’t mind letting you take the lead.”

Shui Miao knew Yamazato Minako had completely let down her guard. He mused on how relationships between men and women worked—sometimes, a single act of intimacy could resolve conflicts without needing words.

This reminded him of an old saying: “Couples argue at the head of the bed but reconcile at the foot.”

The power of Yin and Yang was truly immense. Sometimes, it could change everything—and even create life unexpectedly.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?”

“I’m too tired to move. Let me take the lead. It’s more comfortable that way. Otherwise, it’s just too boring.”

Yamazato Minako was naturally seductive and couldn’t tolerate such a lifeless form of dual cultivation.

Shui Miao shrugged indifferently and switched positions. Watching Yamazato Minako’s sultry, passionate movements atop him, she began to twist and sway wildly. Soon, moans echoed through the cave, stirring the deepest desires in anyone who heard them. Unable to resist, Shui Miao thrust his hips powerfully, fully matching her rhythm.
