Chapter 120: Chapter 81 Yin Yang Coordination

"A hint of Fist Intent?" Xu Qing certainly knew what Fist Intent meant; it was a realm unattainable even for personages like King Lin, accessible only to Martial Arts Grandmasters who had passed the stage of Refining Internal.

For a Martial Arts expert, Fist Intent signifies the cornerstone of pursuing the Heavenly Human Dao and marks the starting point of their comprehension of Heavenly Dao.

Xu Qing then observed the bronze mirror, noticing a new branch item under the Martial Arts category—"Yin Yang Coordination."

"Yin Yang Coordination."

His Divine Soul stirred, and he immediately understood the meaning of "Yin Yang Coordination."

It was a profoundly mysterious realm.

For instance, Qi-Blood is usually considered yang; Divine Soul, however, is regarded as yin.

This is, naturally, not wrong.

But in reality, the Daoist Scripture offers a deeper explanation.

Qi-Blood is yin within yang; the Divine Soul is yang within yin. The intrinsic qualities of both are not the extremes of Yin and Yang. As the Daoist Scripture states, all things carry yin and embrace yang, creating harmony through the interaction of energies.

Since both inherently possess elements of Yin and Yang, Qi-Blood and the Divine Soul can transform into each other.

Therefore, the Tai Chi Diagram also illustrates this principle, with black and white Tai Chi each containing elements of Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin.

Xu Qing, through the state of Absolute Focus, entered the realm of "Yin Yang Coordination."

With the Tiger Demon Bone Training Fist technique just beginning to take form, in the state of "Yin Yang Coordination," the force of the Divine Soul naturally transformed towards Qi Blood Martial Arts, advancing the progress of the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist to match that of the Divine Soul. Because the Divine Soul pertains to intent, infusing into the fist technique, it was natural for Su Lianqing to mistake it for "Fist Intent."

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t wrong, either.

Furthermore, should he make a significant breakthrough in Martial Arts, naturally, he would also achieve the balance of Divine Soul and body through "Yin Yang Coordination," aiding the growth of the Divine Soul.

As he heard in his previous life about the Eight Vajra Skills, which claimed that overweight practitioners could slim down, while thin ones could gain bulk. In reality, it wasn’t merely about losing or gaining weight; it was about bringing the body to a healthy state of Yin Yang Coordination.

"It’s not by chance that I’ve entered the realm of Yin Yang Coordination." Xu Qing glanced at the Old Wutong Tree.

He had realized that all along, through his breathing mingling with the Crane Call and the Old Wutong Tree, he had established an external state of Yin Yang Coordination. At the opportune time of cultivating the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, he entered the "Yin Yang Coordination" realm within himself.

Moreover, the maintenance of this realm clearly depended on the Old Wutong Tree.

Conversely, the Old Wutong Tree also needed Xu Qing to help balance its own "Yin Yang."

Xu Qing then had an odd thought. To be honest, wasn’t he Dual Cultivation with the "Old Wutong Tree"?

Forget it, in a world reminiscent of ancient legends where people consort with sun-snakes and foxes, Dual Cultivation with the Old Wutong Tree didn’t seem to be anything remarkable.

To put it more elegantly, this is what you’d call a "spiritual union."

Xu Qing found himself a convenient excuse.

Otherwise, what could he do, confess to his female master that he’d lost his virtue to an old tree in the yard?

Xu Qing cast aside these stray thoughts and approached Su Lianqing: "What Fist Intent, you might have felt wrong about that. How are you, not hurt, right?"

Su Lianqing lit up the Heart Protector hidden beneath her clothing, "I’m alright; I always carry this with me."

Xu Qing couldn’t help but laugh. No wonder this demoness looked quite voluptuous—it turned out she was padded with something.

Seeing Xu Qing’s smile, Su Lianqing knew what he was thinking and secretly spit in distaste, then asked, "Are you going to practice the Divine Soul Disguise Technique tonight?"

To speak frankly, Xu Qing was making rapid progress in his cultivation of the Divine Soul Disguise Technique, and Su Lianqing couldn’t help but suspect that Xu Qing had learned it before, but she could not find any evidence of his prior study.

One has to admit, being a scholar capable of achieving "child student test" tri-champions, his learning talent is indeed strong.

Among scholars, this wasn’t an uncommon occurrence.

In the Middle and Ancient Times, legends told of Saints who could predict the coming of autumn upon the fall of a single leaf. Casually learning anything, even Dao Skill, came to them as second nature, a skill mastered as soon as learned.

Some with great wisdom could grasp the Dao in the morning and enter it by evening, said to "achieve Dao within the span of a day."

Such feats of former sages are certainly not for the likes of present-day Xu Qing to emulate.

Well, she couldn’t match up to Xu Qing now either.

"Let’s train." Xu Qing felt lively after practicing the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist. Reaching a balanced state of Yin and Yang for the Divine Soul and the body was a state of complete fullness, not leading to mental fatigue despite the transformation of Divine Soul into Qi-Blood Martial Arts.

This state was truly mysterious.

"Perhaps feeling tired isn’t necessarily due to excessive mental exertion, but a signal from the Divine Soul itself, informing the body that it’s at a low ebb, in need of rest," Xu Qing mused.

Now, practicing the Divine Soul Disguise Technique was greatly beneficial in enhancing his spiritual power control; the disguise aspect was just a byproduct.

Those who pursue learning have technique; those who learn techniques might not possess Dao.

Xu Qing’s study leaned closer to pursuing "Dao."

"In fact, not only can spiritual power control be increased through the Divine Soul Disguise Technique, but also through carving, writing, and painting... "

Xu Qing thought expansively.

Especially with carving, he recalled ancient texts from the Imperial Examination times, where cheaters would engrave text on rice grains.

Such a craft clearly tested one’s spiritual power and control over fine muscle movements.

After learning with Su Lianqing, Xu Qing contemplated the Divine Soul battles between the Yaksha King and Su Lianqing, which was a regular performance.

Su Lianqing initially resisted, but upon realizing her Divine Soul had become more solid after battling with the Yaksha King, she naturally became more enthusiastic.
