The two of them were trapped in a paradise-like place, bowed to heaven and earth, and made a blood oath. Some things happened naturally.
As a result, their originally peaceful and warm days were occasionally filled with sweetness.
They weren't enthusiastic people. Even though they committed to Dual Cultivation, they only enjoyed the faint warmth.
Mo Tiange was very satisfied with this kind of life. She didn't feel too lonely, and it didn't affect her cultivation.
They were together, accompanied each other, discussed cultivation, and exchanged thoughts.
However, not long after they were together, Qin Xi found something changed.
Next was Mo Tiange. She also felt as if there was something stirring inside her dantian.
They both noticed the restlessness in each other's eyes.
Mo Tiange asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Qin Xi frowned, nodded, and asked, "What about you?
Do you also feel … "
"En." Mo Tiange was a bit distressed. "Well, what should I do?
Will the spiritual aura I get this way be unstable? "
"How could it be?"
This question made Qin Xi laugh. If there was a problem, why were there so many people in the cultivation world who practiced Dual Cultivation?
"Don't think too much. Just cultivate well."
After a pause, he said, "I originally planned to advance to the Nascent Soul realm after a while, but now I can't wait."
"Huh?"
"The spiritual aura in my body is surging, and my dantian and meridians can no longer hold it.
If I let it go, it's not good for me, so I have to advance to the Nascent Soul realm. "
"Oh …" Mo Tiange understood.
When spiritual aura accumulated to a certain level, the body would automatically request to advance. Presumably, he was at this stage now.
"Then when will you advance to the Nascent Soul realm?"
Qin Xi thought for a while then said, "Three days later. I can't suppress this spiritual aura for too long."
"So soon?"
Qin Xi stroked her head and smiled. "I can't help it. I didn't expect Dual Cultivation would be like this … Suddenly obtaining so much spiritual aura must be uncomfortable for you. It's better to enter Closed Door Meditation while I'm advancing to the Nascent Soul realm. Maybe I can advance to the middle stage of the Core Formation realm in one go."
"En." Mo Tiange nodded and accepted his suggestion.
She had been in the Core Formation realm for six or seven years, and she had been adapting. Now that her natal magic weapon was formed and she gradually learned various cultivation techniques, it was time to continue her Closed Door Meditation.
To enter the intermediate stage of the completion level in one go was very difficult.
Ordinary cultivators would need at least a hundred years to reach the early stage of Core Formation. Even geniuses would need thirty to forty years.
Of course, it wasn't like there was no hope at all. The Virtual Sky World had rich spiritual aura, countless Clear Sky Pills, and the Yang spiritual aura she obtained from Qin Xi … If her cultivation went smoothly, she might really be able to advance to the middle stage of the Core Formation realm during this period of time.
But if he did that, there might be a risk of his realm becoming unstable …
However, no matter what, the spiritual energy was unstable, so she had to go into seclusion.
After the two came to an agreement, they began to prepare for their secluded cultivation in the next three days.
Over the years, they had refined a lot of elixirs while cleaning up the herb fields, so they didn't need to refine elixirs on the spot. Therefore, it was easy to prepare. They just needed to rearrange the cultivation room for their seclusion.
Advancing to the Nascent Soul realm wasn't the same as cultivating on a normal day. They definitely couldn't be disturbed by others, not even if Mo Tiange just watched from the side. Therefore, they had to have a separate cultivation room.
For this reason, Mo Tiange deliberately gave Qin Xi a Spirit-Gathering Formation from the Xuanji Formation Book and asked him to arrange it in a separate cultivation room.
Although the formation Qin Xi used was good, he was still inferior to Mo Tiange in this aspect. The Xuanji Formation Book could be said to be the best secret formation book in the Celestial Pole. With this book, Mo Tiange's attainments in formations could be ranked first even in the Celestial Pole.
It only took them one day to prepare everything. For the next two days, the two of them didn't do anything else. They just strolled around, chatted, and relaxed.
The state of mind was very important in advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, and one's mood was also one of the states of mind.
On the third day, Qin Xi looked at the time and finally said, "It's almost time."
Seeing his serious expression, Mo Tiange couldn't help but ask, "Are you … okay?"
Qin Xi looked down at her. "What's okay?"
Mo Tiange pondered in her heart for a while then comforted him. "Your cultivation is perfect now and you're full of spiritual aura. Advancing to the Nascent Soul realm is just a matter of time, so you don't need to be nervous."
Qin Xi paused for a moment then smiled. "Are you afraid I'll have a shadow in my heart because I failed to advance to the Nascent Soul realm three times?"
"…" Mo Tiange smiled embarrassedly. "I've never advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, so I can't give you any advice …"
Before she could finish, Qin Xi heaved a sigh and hugged her.
Mo Tiange thought for a moment then swallowed the rest of her words. She also reached out and hugged his waist.
The two of them hugged in silence for a while. Then Qin Xi said softly, "I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I know what I should do."
"… En," Mo Tiange answered softly.
She knew he always had his own ideas. Now that his inner demons had been broken, he knew what he should do. However, she still couldn't help but worry.
She had never felt this way before.
It wasn't that she hadn't worried about others. When she was a child, it was her mother, and later, it was Second Uncle. But for these two people, even if she worried about them, she didn't have this kind of feeling in her heart all the time.
She always thought her feelings were very calm, but now she realized that calm could also be very strong.
She couldn't help but hug him tighter, not because she was afraid of losing him, but because she wanted to be closer to him.
Under her cheeks, Qin Xi's chest rose and fell, making her feel warm and reliable.
Time passed bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, she finally let go of him. "You … go in."
Qin Xi didn't move. He still hugged her waist tightly.
"… Senior Martial Brother?"
After a long time, he heaved a long sigh. "For the first time, I feel a little reluctant to enter Closed Door Meditation."
Mo Tiange didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on her face.
It felt really good to have a response to her feelings.
"What are you afraid of?" she said softly. "When you come out, I'll still be here."
"But … we won't see each other for several years," he said in a low voice.
What he said stunned Mo Tiange, but she soon heaved a sigh.
This was what cultivators were like. Unless their cultivation levels were similar in the future and they practiced the same cultivation technique, they could avoid the situation where one of them entered Closed Door Meditation and couldn't see the other for several years.
She didn't think the two of them had to stick together, but the feeling of being separated for several years or even several decades from time to time was indeed not very pleasant.
However, no matter what happened in the future, soul-formation had to be separated.
Thinking of this, Mo Tiange urged him again. "It's getting late. Why don't you go in?"
Qin Xi still didn't move.
Mo Tiange was a bit anxious. This time, he didn't choose the time to form his Nascent Soul; his body had reached its limit. If he delayed for too long, she didn't know whether it would be bad for him or not.
She pushed him. "Senior Martial Brother!"
Qin Xi moved and said, "What did you call me?"
Mo Tiange was stunned. "What?"
"I suddenly remembered we're husband and wife now. Shouldn't you change the way you call me?"
Mo Tiange couldn't adapt to the sudden change of topic. "But you're my senior martial brother … Otherwise, what would I call you?"
Qin Xi lowered his head and chuckled. "Although there aren't many people in Xuanqing School who call me senior martial brother, there are still a few … I want a name that only belongs to you."
The intimacy in his words made Mo Tiange's face burn. "What did you say?"
Qin Xi looked down into her eyes and said softly, "Call me husband, okay?"
"…" Mo Tiange felt her face was burning. She controlled herself for a long time and finally squeezed out two words. "No."
Qin Xi raised his eyebrows, puzzled. "Why?"
"No means no."
This … Although she knew they were husband and wife, she just couldn't say the word 'husband and wife'. It was too intimate …
"Just once. Can't I say it?"
"No." Mo Tiange turned her head to the side resolutely.
No, she couldn't say it.
Qin Xi persisted and turned her head back. "I'm going to enter Closed Door Meditation and won't see you for several years. You still won't say it?"
"… No."
"You really don't want it?"
"I don't want it."
She wouldn't let go no matter what, so Qin Xi could only sigh. "Fine, it's fine if you don't want to say it, but you have to show me something."
"…"
Seeing that she didn't respond, Qin Xi continued to stare at her.
Mo Tiange clenched her teeth, pulled his head down, and quickly pressed her lips against his. "Okay … Wu …"
Before she could finish her sentence, he quickly pulled her back.
This time, it wasn't a light touch like a dragonfly touching the water, but a deep kiss with their lips and tongues intertwined.
"You …" She wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was blocked. The tip of his tongue slipped between her lips and teeth, entangling her tightly. Her breathing became rapid in an instant.
"Don't talk."
Qin Xi whispered between her lips and teeth then kissed her again. One of his arms wrapped around her waist, pressing her tightly against his body, and the other hand groped around her waist.
Mo Tiange knew what he wanted to do. She felt he was too impulsive, but she didn't firmly stop him.
Although she had long been prepared to be separated often, they had just gotten married after all …
After making the blood oath, they also had skin contact, but that first time was almost a disaster.
The two of them had lived for half of their lives, but their love affairs were hazy. They only roughly knew how to do it, so how could they know how to enjoy the beauty of skin contact?
After that, although they kissed, hugged, and tangled with each other, they were no longer as close as before.
Those kisses, hugs, and entanglement actually made them feel good.
He finally found his belt, pulled it open, and took off the clothes one by one with ease.
"Senior Martial Brother …" The moment her back touched the table, Mo Tiange tried her best to prop herself up and said hurriedly, "You should … enter Closed Door Meditation …"
"I told you not to talk." Qin Xi lowered his head and kissed her again. Her clothes fell from his fingers.
Under the cover of the Daoist robe was a woman's soft and graceful curves.
Her skin was exposed to the air, but it made her a little uneasy.
He noticed her uneasiness, so he held her hand comfortingly and planted a soft kiss on her collarbone.
From her gentle collarbone to her delicate shoulders, he finally stopped at her chest.
"Senior Martial Brother …" She gasped.
This time, Qin Xi didn't respond. He took off his clothes in confusion and held her waist …
Mo Tiange clenched her teeth, but she didn't feel the pain she expected.
She was a little confused, but she heard Qin Xi chuckling. "Concentrate."
She didn't have time to think because a huge wave had already submerged them …
They didn't know how much time had passed, but the two of them gradually calmed down.
Qin Xi sighed and put on his robe. He helped her put her clothes back on first and then fixed his own clothes.
When the two of them were neatly dressed, he hugged her again reluctantly. "I'm … going …"
"En." Mo Tiange raised her head and looked at him. "Rest assured, I'll always be here."
