Dimensional Library Of Taboo Techniques!

When Xue Ming and Xuan arrived back in the capital, she begged him to keep what happened between themselves.

Maybe she didn't know; dual cultivation can't be hidden. Like using a lotion that changes your skin, those around would definitely find out.

And Xuan did not correct her misconception of what she thought about dual cultivation, so he agreed with her.

It was after they arrived that Xuan got the chance to concoct the medicine he had talked of. Right now, the sick emperor was holding the bowl of medicine.

"This would only last for a few hours, about three," said Xuan.

"But after I cultivate with the technique I would be fully on my feet, right?" Emperor Woo asked, but Xuan disappointed him.

Medicines don't work that way. Now the emperor had to take the medicine three times a week and practice the technique at least once a week.

The medicine was for him to be on his feet for three hours, while the cultivation technique was to replace the grease in his rusting meridian yin.

So the oil had to be replenished every week for a month. Xuan believed this method would bring the emperor back on his feet.

"Thank you, boy," Emperor Woo said. After Xuan's explanation, it all made sense to him.

So he drank the medicine, and a very big sigh was heard escaping his body. The emperor looked at Xuan and the physician.

"Well sir, can you move your legs?" the physician asked. He wanted to see the magic of the medicine so badly.

Emperor Woo looked at his legs. He moved to the side of the bed, dropping his feet down. For a moment, his stance was unstable, as if he would fall.

However, the physician couldn't believe it—the emperor was undoubtedly on his feet.

The first person he walked to meet was Xuan. Emperor Woo placed his hand on Xuan's shoulder. "Thank you, boy."

"It wasn't an act of charity, sir. My end of the deal is completed. I've taught your physician how to concoct the medicine."

"I know what you mean. I will live up to my end of the agreement, but tell me, where did you find this technique? Satisfy the Sword."

"Oh, I created it," Xuan lied, and it looked as if his lie made them very surprised and very believable.

If he could create a medicine that had never existed, then creating a dual cultivation technique that had never existed shouldn't be far from his toolbox.

"You are a very talented young man." The physician adored Xuan more than ever.

"Yes, I will have to go now."

With that, they watched the brilliant mind leave the room. "Bring me my mistress, will you," the emperor said.

The physician smiled and excused himself to get the woman he asked for.

While Xuan was walking along the hall of the house, two guards stopped him. They belonged to the emperor, so he wasn't really scared.

"Are you Xuan?"

Xuan nodded, and the guard who asked looked at the other, who brought out a letter. "We were told to give you this."

Xuan looked at the letter. As the guards were leaving, he unsealed it, and after reading through, it was a family inviting him to dinner.

"Xi Ning?" Xuan pronounced the name he saw on the letter. He had heard the name somewhere but failed to recall.

"Oh, that girl—the one from the school." As he remembered, he looked back at the letter and saw the address. Zhao Lan wasn't home anyway, so Xuan left.

Outside, the emperor's enormous sect was very big and noisy. You could clearly see men and women walking to and fro.

Xuan, who just realized this was his first time around the area, suddenly looked at the address again and figured he was lost.

But it was at this same time he heard Han Bai's voice from above him, flying on a red tiger spirit beast with wings.

"Xuan," he called out again. You could sense the excitement in his voice. Han Bai carefully landed the beast in front of Xuan, then came down from it.

"I was actually heading to see you. I just want to thank you again and also invite you for dinner in my new house."

Xuan could clearly see the changes. Han Bai was wearing an expensive robe, and the spirit beast he was riding wasn't ordinary.

"Did you tame a new spirit beast?" Xuan asked. The only way that could happen was if Han Bai killed his first spirit beast.

Dual cultivators were not allowed to tame more than one spirit beast. But once a bond is formed, it can't be broken, so the only way is to kill the former beast in order to tame a new one.

"Oh no, I didn't. I only rented it since my spirit beast can't fly me here," Han Bai replied. "Well, you haven't responded to me about the dinner."

"Oh, someone else already invited me for dinner—Xi Ning's family. Do you happen to know their sect?"

"Ah yes, of course, the Lotion Sect. Let me give you a lift then."

Xuan nodded. That would be much appreciated.

Meanwhile...

Xi Ning needed to make everything perfect before Xuan got to their house. She didn't like the way the maidens had arranged the food on the table.

Normally, it was well-positioned, but Xi Ning would only be sure if she did it herself.

"You really like this boy, don't you?" her mother asked. A maiden was standing behind her, combing her long dark hair, while another worked on her nails.

"No, I don't like him, Mother. Father was the one who asked I invite him."

"Hahaha, children of these days, always shy," said her father, who was sitting at the end of the table.

Mrs. Ning sighed. They woke up one day and saw their daughter's beauty had increased. They would have thought it was one of their lotions.

Because the sect specialized in creating lotions, however, the difference was too big to miss. So they checked her cultivation stage and saw it had undoubtedly risen.

Mrs. Ning, who had long experienced something like this, needed to know who had done it with her daughter.

It wasn't even a secret because they heard it was done openly in class, so she insisted her husband invite the man for dinner.

When in reality, she wanted what Xuan did with her daughter.

"Sect Master, a man is at the door claiming an invitation."

"Let him in."
