The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 171: Rebel... Unfilial son!

Finding someone else to do the work was a path Hu Yuling had never envisaged, thinking that by finding Lin Yun something to do, she could get him to leave the mountain.

But Lin Yun agreed readily, yet stayed on the mountain. Could it be that he had seen through my flawless performance?

This old fox is truly inscrutable!

She had no idea that because of her careless words, she had aroused Lin Yun’s suspicions.

Lin Yun’s standard of conduct was to err on the side of caution rather than to overlook a potential issue.

At worst, he would be wrong to doubt Hu Yuling’s identity, which was still better than being outwitted after descending the mountain. Moreover, he had also sent someone to help collect the medicinal herbs that Hu Yuling needed, so there would be no delay in her affairs.

Now, Hu Yuling had a bit of a headache.

Without the task of collecting herbs, on what grounds could she coax Lin Yun down the mountain?

She was not even sure if Lin Yun truly saw through her or not. If their true intentions were exposed now, it would benefit neither party.

Hu Yuling had no choice but to say, "Since you already have an arrangement, I will wait for your news then."

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Master."

Lin Yun politely saw Hu Yuling off and then reflected on Hu Yuling’s words and actions in his mind.

For the time being, he could not spot any flaws; perhaps he had read too much into Hu Yuling’s words a few days ago.

Without confirming this, he would not leave the mountain.

After Hu Yuling left, Lin Yun went to accompany Lin Yu.

On the mountain, fearing Lin Yu might be bored alone, Lin Yun would go and spend some time with her every day, chatting or practicing swordsmanship, which made her all the more anxious.

Although she also found her time with Lin Yun pleasant, the thought that Lin Yun might have taken a liking to her made it impossible for her to interact with him without reserve.

So every day, she both looked forward to and dreaded Lin Yun’s visits.

"I’m here."

When Lin Yun came to see Lin Yu, he skipped the formality of titles as usual, simply indicating his arrival.

Lin Yu responded indifferently, "Yun’er, why don’t you focus on your cultivation? There’s nothing here to entertain you with."

She was being petulant.

No matter whether Lin Yun acknowledged her or not, she already assumed that identity for herself.

Lin Yun had previously objected, but now he just let her be. Let each hold their own view!

After all, there was no harm in being called Yun’er by her.

"I’m not here to play; there is something I want to ask you about."

"What is it?"

"Is there a way to transfer the True Qi from one’s body to another person?"

Lin Yun had intended to find the answer himself by reading books, but he hadn’t come across any relevant descriptions.

He had read many books over the past three days, to no avail.

Possibly because this method was on the second level, which Lin Yun had no access to, he decided to ask Lin Yu about it.

It was also because Hu Yuling’s sudden visit had put some pressure on him. If she truly had ill intentions, Lin Yun dared not let Lin Yu take the medicine she had produced.

He had decided that if Lin Yu didn’t know the answer, even if Fang Yu was busy today, he would still need to go and seek her advice.

"Why do you ask?"

Lin Yu was puzzled. True Qi was something each person cultivated through hard work; why would anyone want to give it to someone else?

Moreover, each person’s constitution is different, and the attributes of the cultivation methods vary. External Spiritual Energy enters the body through breath and, once it goes through the various routes prescribed by different cultivation methods and transforms into True Qi, it is no longer the same Spiritual Energy.

This attribute-carrying True Qi entering someone else’s body would only cause harm.

"First, tell me the methods!"

Lin Yun’s refusal to explain caused Lin Yu some annoyance, much like watching a child enter a rebellious phase, having little secrets and not sharing them with her, his mother.

Nevertheless, she responded earnestly to Lin Yun’s question.

"A human has nine apertures, and Spiritual Power enters through them and also exits from them."

"Nine apertures? Aren’t there only seven? Where are the other two?"

Lin Yun asked with a curious look on his face, but Lin Yu’s face turned red as she glared at him angrily and said, "Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose?"

This unfilial son, does he actually want her to say those things?

Lin Yun: "..."

Sorry, I’ve read little and only heard of the seven orifices.

However, seeing her embarrassed, Lin Yun instantly understood where the other two orifices were.

Lin Yun felt that if he didn’t explain himself, his reputation in Lin Yu’s eyes would truly suffer. But...

Understanding now, Lin Yu would probably still be angry, so he showed an expression of naive charm, even a bit innocent.

Seeing this, Lin Yu could only say with vexed embarrassment, "Fine, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know. I’ll continue to explain to you that among the nine orifices of a human, only the mouth and nose can inhale and exhale, absorbing spiritual energy and expelling turbid air. The spiritual energy is transformed into True Qi through the acupoints in the body. When practitioners cast spells, they use their own True Qi to manipulate the external spiritual power, with the True Qi emitted from the acupoints on their hands or orifices, producing astonishing power.

Using this method to inject True Qi into another’s body can cause immense harm and if the True Qi remains within the other person’s body, it will continue to damage their energy channels, which is extremely insidious."

Lin Yun understood, hands could also be used, but hands were meant for attacking, not for healing.

This actually made sense, cultivators knew spells, when faced with injuries or ailments, they could simply use spells for healing, no need to operate energy for treatment.

"The other two methods are a bit gentler, but they can only be used between a man and a woman, with their mouths coming into contact..."

Lin Yun: "..."

Wait a minute, are you talking about dual cultivation techniques now?

Lin Yun had seen this before.

There was also a book in the Shenxiao Sect’s library, "Mr. Yuewei’s Miscellaneous Techniques," where he explained the principles of dual cultivation in detail.

Everyone’s energy channels in the body can form a complete closed circuit, with the True Qi circulating within the body known as one Heavenly Cycle.

Dual cultivation, on the other hand, involves circulating True Qi into another’s body for an additional round.

With their mouths connected, the True Qi follows a path, the two individuals’ True Qi meet at the mouth, each taking a loop through the other’s body, and then back into their own through the mouth.

This is one of the methods.

The other method involves more points of contact between orifices, so the True Qi starts from the mouth, goes through another orifice and back into the body, thus avoiding a return path, together forming a cycle.

The reason why only a man and a woman can practise this method is due to the division of Yin and Yang, only when Yin and Yang combine does it comply with the Heavenly Dao.

Combining Yin with Yin or Yang with Yang doesn’t work.

This was something Lin Yun could understand fairly well, like connecting a battery to a circuit, which completes a loop. If you want to connect two batteries, you must have positive to negative. (This is just an example, don’t let the shape of a battery lead to strange imaginations)

He didn’t interrupt Lin Yu, who had only talked about one method, and the other, she stubbornly refused to mention.

Lin Yun didn’t ask either, only saying, "Is there really no other way?"

"There isn’t."

Over the past thirty years, in order to heal herself, Lin Yu had read many books, including all sorts of fragmentary scrolls, and one could say she is not the most powerful young cultivator, but definitely the most erudite one.

Lin Yu also said this with certainty, which caused Lin Yun to feel somewhat disappointed. If Lin Yu simply didn’t know, she wouldn’t have been so certain in saying there was no other way.

So, from now on, would he really only be able to kiss her?

That doesn’t seem so bad.

Lin Yun didn’t know that Dongfang Hongyue had also wanted to find a method of transferring True Qi without kissing. She had thought that with the vastness of the Central Plains and the many geniuses among the major sects, there would certainly be people who could come up with unique Qi-transfer techniques.

But she had also never found one.

"Can you now say what you want to do?"

Lin Yu was still very curious. She noticed that at first, Lin Yun seemed a bit disappointed, but he quickly seemed a bit cheerful. She really couldn’t understand the changes in Lin Yun’s mood, which prompted her question.

Only then did Lin Yun honestly respond, "I feel that my True Qi is a bit special, and if I can transfer some to you, your body should be able to improve."

Lin Yu: "..."

So that’s it!

Thinking that Lin Yun had always been worried about her, her heart felt warm.

Eh, wait a minute, Lin Yun seemed a bit happy after hearing her explanation?

"You... you unfilial son!"
