Chapter 321 - 0205 Sailing against the current, only progress without retreat (2-in-1)_2

Later, I understood the answer.

Time is meaningful, even if age seems insignificant compared to eternity.

Time and age exist to record how long her husband has been in this world.

Thus, time can move slowly, but it must continue forward.

And no matter how passionate the feelings are, they will wear down over time, except for Yun Qian herself... So...

"Still not enough." Yun Qian murmured, "It’s still not enough as it is now."

His current fondness for her is not sufficient to ease her unease.

Li Zhibai was applying makeup for Yun Qian, repeating, "Not enough?"

"Rowing upstream." Yun Qian said seriously.

"Rowing upstream..." Li Zhibai paused, then understood what Yun Qian meant.

Was she saying that feelings, like rowing against the current, must advance or else they’ll regress?

So even if Yun Qian is already deeply loved by Xu Chang’an, she still has to strive for cultivation as a wife.

This time, Li Zhibai had nothing to say.

The absence of a loved man didn’t mean she couldn’t understand Yun Qian’s fiery emotions.

"Ms. Yun, I take back what I said before about you not needing to cultivate, I was naïve." Li Zhibai expressed seriously, "Feelings are something that require serious maintenance, even if that person is Chang’an, one should not become complacent, thinking that it’s already sufficient."

Yun Qian’s effort is very meaningful.

Li Zhibai gazed at Yun Qian thoughtfully, thinking she liked this sister even more.

She has always admired people who know what they want and are steadfast in their pursuit, such as Qinling, Xu Chang’an, and undoubtedly Yun Qian as well.

"Hmm." Yun Qian responded.

Li Zhibai put down the eyebrow pencil, displaying a slightly strange expression: "Sister, those words reminded me... That matter was quite coincidental, and it might have helped you."

Initially, Li Zhibai felt guilty for being able to easily solve Yun Qian’s Elixir Field problem but not taking action... Now it seems that not only was she not at fault, but she did something good.

"What matter?" Yun Qian looked at her.

"I talked to Chang’an about the Elixir Field matter, soon he will be cultivating with you using dual... no, Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Techniques." Li Zhibai’s ears reddened slightly, but she quickly spoke firmly: "As sister mentioned earlier, it can also foster emotions, and it’s orthodox cultivation, most suitable for the practice between you and Chang’an as a wife and husband, killing two birds with one stone."

Using the Yin Yang technique for a wife’s cultivation to improve marital bonds is indeed most suitable.

Li Zhibai even felt somewhat satisfied with herself, thinking she had done a great deed, she looked at Yun Qian and said decisively, "Yes, just like that, sister, didn’t you contemplate what kind of cultivation you needed earlier? The Yin Yang Dual Cultivation technique is most suitable, practice it well, and Chang’an will surely like you more."

Yun Qian wouldn’t believe or listen to what others say.

But she would listen to Li Zhibai, since it was her area of expertise.

——

It makes sense.

If Yun Qian cultivates diligently, Xu Chang’an will be happy.

Yun Qian cultivates to be a good wife, Xu Chang’an will be happy.

The intimacy between the husband and wife will make Xu Chang’an happy.

Follow Li Zhibai’s advice to cultivate the Yin Yang technique; it’s not about killing two birds with one stone but three.

"Yin and Yang..."

Yun Qian knows what Li Zhibai meant by dual cultivation, but the words Yin and Yang inherently reflect Li Zhibai’s essence.

Knowing White and Guarding Black.

"Is Yin and Yang important?" Yun Qian asked.

Li Zhibai fell into contemplation.

She thought Yun Qian was unaware that Yin Yang Dual Cultivation referred to husband and... cough, cultivation...

She didn’t explain because Xu Chang’an would naturally clarify later.

However, she had to make Yun Qian understand the importance of this technique, not to feel stressed, and not to disdain this cultivation method, so now she must give some hints.

Thus she said, "Naturally it’s important."

Li Zhibai was very experienced, knowing that at moments like these, one should first say some profound truths, without worrying about whether Yun Qian grasps them, as long as she initially sees the Yin Yang-related techniques as advanced, and by the time she realizes it’s actually about marital matters... it would be too late.

She was indeed worrying over her sister and student’s marital life...

Li Zhibai cleared her throat and spoke earnestly: "Yin Yang Dual cultivation, Yin Yang Balance is the essence of all things, all things intermingle, Yin Yang becomes pure, Yellow and Red Talisman, to cultivate longevity, the way lies in pointing directly towards immortality."

She glanced at Yun Qian’s slightly protruding belly due to the dinner, then shifted her gaze away.

"The Lower Elixir Field is the Palace of Fate, only by using Yin Yang Balance, through transformative techniques that continuously condense True Yuan, can one open their own Life Palace by relying on others, returning to the origin without any harm, so regardless, once Chang’an has received the appropriate technique, sister must cultivate diligently."

"What is Yin and Yang?" Yun Qian asked.

"Is sister interested in this? Well... since she must cultivate." Li Zhibai pointed in the air, Yin Yang Qi fell on the mirror surface, instantly spreading into a false, replicated Yin Yang Array, black and white colors dispersing, transforming into the Meaning of Heaven and Earth.

"Anything can be divided into Yin and Yang. Anything moving, outgoing, ascending, warm, and bright is Yang; relatively stationary, inward, descending, cold, and dark is Yin."

Yun Qian looked at the moon outside the window, unexpectedly said, "Sunrise is Yang, sunset is Yin?"

Li Zhibai glanced at the particularly insightful Yun Qian and said, "Specific comprehension may vary; this saying also holds truth."

"Solitary Yin cannot grow, solitary Yang cannot thrive, hence heaven and earth pair with Yin and Yang," Li Zhibai said.

"Hmm." Yun Qian responded.

She had known this for a long time.

Whether it’s Yin Yang or something else, Xu Chang’an is her opposite.

She is the sunrise, Xu Chang’an is the sunset.

Can’t say it’s complementing each other because after witnessing the sunset, the sunrise has already gone far away... so, he’s her nemesis and once acted as her savior.

"Is sister very interested in this?" Li Zhibai asked.

"A little." Yun Qian had some feelings towards the words Yin and Yang.

"I thought you’d find it dry and obscure." Li Zhibai shook her head.

"Very interesting." Yun Qian looked at Li Zhibai, thinking the phrase "solitary Yang cannot thrive, hence heaven and earth pair with Yin and Yang" was quite reasonable.

She knew when she’s not there, Xu Chang’an needed others to grow, naturally not alone.

Thus there was Li Zhibai, Wen Li, Liu Qingluo to balance?

"Solitary Yin cannot grow?" Yun Qian suddenly spoke.

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

"Solitary Yin cannot grow, is that why I can’t have children?" Yun Qian placed a hand on her belly, somewhat contemplative.

"..." Li Zhibai choked a bit, her eyes widened considerably.

Yun Qian imagined if she desired children, she must follow the world’s rules... Most of her time was spent alone, solitude endured for a long time, thus she couldn’t bear children.

Must Xu Chang’an accompany her endlessly, living alone for a year, Xu Chang’an should accompany her for a year, until all the solitary moments of her life are offset, only then can they have children?

If this were true, then indeed it’s troublesome.

Because she truly doesn’t know how long she’s lived, for her, time cannot record time.

"Ms. Yun, we were discussing cultivation, why bring up children suddenly?" Li Zhibai finally caught her breath.

"The Yellow and Red Talisman, Yin Yang Dual Cultivation, was you talking about bedroom matters, husband and wife harmony." Yun Qian stated calmly.

At this point, why still surprised?

"... Ms. Yun, you actually knew what I meant?!" Li Zhibai blushed.

"He read medical books for me, I followed along and read some," Yun Qian explained truthfully.

"Laughable I thought you knew nothing." Li Zhibai sighed, "When discussing bedroom matters, sister wouldn’t feel uncomfortable?"

Yun Qian looked at her, "Should I feel uncomfortable?"
