In the Sage Pavilion, Sword Pavilion Sage Yue Liuxi invited Su Yun to sit down and said, "Pavilion Master Su should have discovered something when he was cultivating the physical realm. It is very difficult to cultivate to the physical realm."

Su Yun sat on the ground and said in surprise: "I don't find it difficult... It's okay, Pavilion Master Yue, please continue."

Xing Jiangmu accompanied them and listened to their conversation.

He felt a little excited. It was an honor for him to be entertained by Yue Liuxi, the Saint of Jiange, in the Saint's Residence.

Yue Liuxi also sat down and ordered the servant to make tea. He continued, "Although I made the assumption about the physical realm back then, I found it very difficult to complete the development of the physical realm."

Su Yun frowned. He really didn't feel any difficulty.

Yue Liuxi envisioned the dual cultivation of body and soul in his notes, which can be described as an idea of unparalleled genius. Especially the mutual reflection between the physical realm and the spiritual realm is even more amazing!

The physical realm and the spiritual realm reflect each other, which means that while cultivating the spirit, the physical body is also tempered!

The physical body will improve along with the improvement of the spiritual nature, thus solving the problem of the spiritualist's lifespan!

Although Su Yun also thought of this, he did not come up with a solution when he thought of it, while Yue Liuxi came up with an effective solution.

Yue Liuxi's method of cultivating both the body and the spirit is enough to be canonized as a saint and praised by future generations!

However, Yue Liuxi said that he had not succeeded and that there were many difficulties along the way to cultivation, so Su Yun became a little puzzled.

He practiced with the Great Furnace Transmutation and easily achieved the physical body realm.

"Master Su, I was also young at that time. I realized that there might be a physical realm, and I thought of many ways to do it. But I didn't find a suitable method."

Yue Liuxi said sadly, "If you want to test whether your ideas can succeed, you need more than just ideas. You also need the right time, right place, and right people. I had the idea of opening up the realm of the physical body. At that time, the Qin Dynasty was flourishing. The right time was right. I was in Jiange, at the time of the new academic debate. Various academics gathered together, and various academic leaders gathered here. The right place was also right. However, I didn't have the right people."

The old servant of the Sage Pavilion came forward with a teapot. Yue Liuxi asked the old servant to put down the teapot and leave, and he personally picked up the teapot to pour tea for Su Yun and Xing Jiangmu.

"To verify whether the idea of dual cultivation of body and soul can succeed, we need spiritual masters. The cultivation methods practiced by the spiritual masters of the Qin Dynasty were not unified methods. At that time, the Qin Dynasty was still following the path of Yuan Shuo. Each spiritual master practiced a set of methods in the foundation-building stage, another set of methods in the soul-enriching stage, and another set of methods in the Yuandong stage."

Yue Liuxi poured himself some tea and sighed, "And to verify the dual cultivation of sex and life, the foundation building and Yuandong cultivation methods need to be the same. Has Pavilion Master Su thought of anything?"

Before Su Yun could answer, Xing Jiangmu's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively, "The Great Unification Technique?"

Yue Liuxi raised his teacup and said, "It is the Great Unified Practice. You must have the Great Unified Practice to achieve the dual cultivation of body and soul. At that time, there were various schools of thought in the Great Qin Sword Pavilion, among which there was already a prototype of the Great Unified Practice. With the idea of dual cultivation of body and soul, I found two fellow Taoists in the Sword Pavilion. One of them has extraordinary attainments in the Great Unified Practice, and the other has made great achievements in physical cultivation."

He smiled and said, "We got along very well. During those months, the three of us were inseparable. We even ate and slept together. Amazing ideas would pop up in our heads all the time, and we solved one problem after another.

"I helped them perfect the prototype of the Great Unification Technique and study the physical bodies of gods and demons, and they helped me perfect the dual cultivation of mind and body. We did so many things in those few months. We measured the distance between the earth and the moon, studied the sun and the moon, and even planned to send spiritual soldiers to the moon!"

There was a light flickering in Yue Liuxi's eyes, which was the joy that came from the bottom of her heart.

Three young geniuses met and got to know each other in Jiange, became close friends, and explored the unknown together.

Their wisdom became a beacon that illuminated each other in the unknown darkness, illuminating each other and leading them forward.

"But we have never been able to complete the dual cultivation of sex and life."

The light in Yue Liuxi's eyes dimmed and gradually disappeared. He put down the teacup and said sadly, "One of my friends returned to his homeland. He said that compared to practicing both body and soul and unifying the art, he had more important things to do. What prompted him to return home was a naval battle. The Qin Empire and Yuan Shuo clashed at sea, and Yuan Shuo's navy was completely wiped out."

His face became even darker, and after a moment of silence, he said, "At that time, the scholars of Jian Ge were discussing this matter. The three of us were concentrating on our research, but we were also disturbed. Some Jian Ge scholars found him and said that he was a Yuanshuo barbarian, saying that the Yuanshuo people were all uncivilized monkeys who ate raw meat and drank blood."

Su Yun listened to this history, and his heart was moved: "The friend of the Sword Pavilion Saint is a scholar who studied abroad in Yuan Shuo!"

He looked at Xing Jiangmu, who shook his head slightly. He didn't know who that Yuan Shuo scholar was.

"My friend was very sad. My other friend Jiang Zushi and I were very angry. We had a big fight with those scholars and taught many of them a lesson. But the atmosphere was like this and we couldn't change anything. He decided to return home. Zushi and I tried to dissuade him. Zushi even asked him to join Daqin and become a Daqin citizen, but that didn't change his mind."

Yue Liuxi looked at the floating mountains outside the window with a deep gaze, and said: "After my friend left, the research on the dual cultivation of sex and life continued. But without that friend, Zushi and I had differences and could not merge. We both went further and further on our own paths and could not illuminate each other."

Yue Liuxi retracted his gaze, smiled at Su Yun, and said: "During this time, the academic achievements of Jian Ge finally exploded. Jian Ge became the holy land of Da Qin and has been thriving ever since. I became the sage of Jian Ge, and Jiang Zushi became the other pole of Jian Ge, enough to compete with me. But to be frank, the academic prosperity of Jian Ge today is just the result of the research of the three of us."

Su Yun's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this. He felt it was natural that he had reached the physical realm in one go, but he didn't know what Yue Liuxi and the others had experienced during this period.

He already had some guesses about the friend Yuan Shuo that Yue Liuxi mentioned, but he was not sure.

"Without that friend, Jiang Zushi and I can only stand at the top of our respective fields, and we will never be able to absorb and integrate each other's strengths."

Yue Liuxi sighed and said, "The technique created by that friend is the most suitable for verifying the unified technique, but unfortunately he left. After he returned to Yuanshuo, Zushi and I often inquired about his news, but the news about him became less and less. Later, I heard that he became an official, and there was no news from him until I saw his letter yesterday..."

He looked at Su Yun and asked, "Is Shui Jing okay?"

Su Yun's heart was slightly shaken, he sat up straight and said, "Mr. Shui Jing is fine, he just escaped from the catastrophe, and now he is working as a factory supervisor at the Yuanshuo Lingnan Jihui Factory and enjoying his retirement."

He suddenly understood what Qiu Shuijing had given up when he left Daqin and returned to Yuanshuo.

Now Yue Liuxi is already a saint of Jian Ge, an existence at the original Dao realm. At that time, Qiu Shuijing was no less capable than Yue Liuxi. If Qiu Shuijing had stayed, he might have perfected the dual cultivation of sex and life with Yue Liuxi and Jiang Zushi, and perfected the great unified technique.

The achievements of these three people will reach the highest heights ever!

But Qiu Shuijing gave up all of this and resolutely returned to Yuan Shuo.

This time, there were thirty years of ups and downs.

For thirty years, people were puzzled and thought he was stubborn and a nerd. When he promoted the reform, he was slandered, cursed and even nearly destroyed!

But in the entire Yuanshuo, no one knew what Qiu Shuijing had given up.

Yue Liuxi smiled and said, "Yesterday, I saw you injuring so many Sword Pavilion scholars. When I saw the wounds on their bodies, I knew that Shui Jing had found someone to inherit his unique skills, and I also knew that you saw my notes."

Su Yun bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

He finally understood the whole story.

Xing Jiangmu didn't understand the cause and effect here, and felt a little regretful: "How come I can't find that notebook..."

Yue Liuxi stood up and said, "After the incident with Shuijing, I thought about it for a long time. Later, I became the leader of Jian Ge and took charge of Jian Ge, so I kept Jian Ge away from court disputes. I believe that academics should be academics, and disputes between countries and nations should not extend to schools. Jian Ge should be a pure land without national boundaries or races."

He bowed and smiled, "Can you please ask Pavilion Master Su to teach in Jiange?"

"Jian Pavilion may not be a pure land, but Pavilion Master Yue has a pure land in his heart."

Su Yun hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "The mind of the Sword Pavilion Saint is far inferior to that of Yun. Pavilion Master Yue invited me, and Yun dare not refuse."

Yue Liuxi was very happy and said with a smile: "Master Su is just like classmate Shui Jing, you have inherited the style of the ancients. As the Master of Tongtian Pavilion, I know you are never short of money, so I won't pay you."

Su Yun quickly said, "When Mr. Shui Jing taught me, he said that knowledge has a price and must be paid for."

Yue Liuxi smiled and said, "Yesterday, Pavilion Master Su stripped off so many clothes from my Sword Pavilion scholars and confiscated so many of their spiritual weapons. Can I use those clothes and spiritual weapons to hire Pavilion Master to teach for a year?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "That's wrong. I defeated them with my strength, and they also benefited a lot. The money earned by ability cannot be regarded as teaching wages!"

Yue Liuxi was furious and gritted his teeth as he whispered, "Pavilion Master Su, this piece of land belongs to your Tongtian Pavilion. My Sword Pavilion has to pay one tenth of its annual profit to your Tongtian Pavilion!"

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "Isn't it natural to pay for renting land?"

"You are so stingy!" Yue Liuxi was furious.

Su Yun argued: "It's not that I don't want to pull it out, but the principle cannot be violated!"

Xing Jiangmu was dumbfounded, seeing these two giants in the world haggling over the price, even he blushed, thinking: "It's just a small amount of money, why are they arguing so much... Then again, I seem to be much poorer than them. Isn't it crazy to worry about these two rich people?"
