Chapter 120: Dual cultivation. After the two of them finished making love, they proceeded to simply lay on the grass, enjoying the warmth that the other was giving them. They were both cultivators, so their stamina was far above a normal person's. But even then, they had gone a bit too hard, so they were both exhausted after the deed was done. While Yao Jun was stroking Guo Luo's hair, he could suddenly feel the Qi within her body surge, coursing through her body. His Qi was the same, surging towards his chest and flowing into the Demon God's Gate at his chest. But while Guo Luo's cultivation was slowly rising, the Qi surging in his chest only helped consolidate his cultivation. “Jun'er, what's going on?” Guo Luo couldn't help but look at Yao Jun when she felt her Qi surging. Her Qi kept surging, her cultivation slowly rising. It didn't take long for her cultivation to reach the peak of the 1st Mortal Earth, only then did the surging Qi calm down, settling inside her Illusion God's Gate. “Dual cultivation.” Yao jun did not respond immediately, fondling his chin as he pondered in silence. After a short moment, a memory about something he had read before popped up in his mind. “Dual cultivation?” Guo Luo lived her entire life as a maid, so even though she had traveled with Yao Jun for a while, there were still a lot of things about cultivation that she did not know. Dual cultivation was a term that she had never heard before. “It's like this. Men have something called vital yang, while women have something called vital yin. During intercourse, these two energies will flow into the body of their partner, nourishing their body and Qi.” “Taking a person's virginity will give the greatest benefit, but every subsequent bout of intercourse will still give a small amount of benefit, especially if one manages to find a manual on dual cultivation.” Yao Jun recited what he had read in the book to Guo Luo, allowing her to understand what dual cultivation was. Of course, he chose not to mention that many women were often raped while young so that their vital yin could be harvested. Saying something like that would simply spoil the mood. “Something that magical exists?” Guo Luo couldn't help but be slightly amazed. Something as simple as making love could allow people to increase in strength. If it was like that, wouldn't every married couple eventually manage to become superior cultivators. “It's not that easy. Normal people have a negligible amount of vital yang or yin. Only people who have a high cultivation level or special bloodlines have a greater amount of vital yang or yin.” Yao Jun could guess what Guo Luo was thinking, so he quickly explained. At the same time, he was slightly surprised by how efficient his and Guo Luo's vital yang and yin were. Their cultivation level was not very high, but their vital yin and yang were still powerful enough to assist their cultivation. “Ah!” Guo Luo fell into a momentary silence after hearing Yao Jun's explanation. Just when Yao Jun thought they would go back to enjoying each others warmth in silence, Guo Luo widened her eyes and exclaimed out loud. “What is it?” Yao Jun quickly narrowed his eyes, scanning the entire inside of the gate as he did so. He had hidden the gate inside the shadows, so the odds of them getting found were almost zero. But upon hearing Guo Luo exclaim, he couldn't help but raise his guard. “I just realized, isn't there now a chance that I will get pregnant?” Guo Luo's voice slightly faltered, her face turning a charming shade of red as she spoke. In the heat of the moment, she had completely forgotten about this fact. With them doing it this vigorously, what if she ended up pregnant? Their lives right now did not really allow for them to bring a small child around. “That's it? There is no need to worry about that. Our cultivation level isn't high, but it is still easy for us to prevent pregnancy. I made sure that there was no risk once we started.” Hearing her words, Yao Jun let out a heavy sigh. He thought that maybe they were under attack, but it was just something like that. A cultivator could easily use their Qi to either kill or seal up their sperm, so unless they tried to get pregnant, it was very hard for cultivators to get pregnant accidentally. Of course, people who had the bloodline of powerful Demonic beasts would find it much harder to get pregnant than normal people. This was because powerful Demonic beasts had a massive advantage over normal people, so the heavens made it harder for them to have children. “Dumbo.” Seeing Yao Jun release such a heavy sigh and talk about it like it was nothing, Guo Luo couldn't help but slightly glare at him. She didn't want to get pregnant right now, but did he have to say it like that? Could he not have a bit of tact and say it more gently? “Come on now, don't look at me like that. In the future we can have as many as we want. We could even have dozens if that is what you want.” Yao Jun's mouth curled into a bitter smile when he saw how Guo Luo glared at him. He pulled her into an embrace and gently whispered into her ear. The two of them were still very young, not even in their twenties. With how long cultivators could live, some did not have children or get married until their were thousands of years old. “You're the one who said it, so you can't go back on it.” Guo Luo raised her head and placed a kiss on Yao Jun's lips, a wide smile spreading on her face as she spoke. Hearing her words, Yao Jun felt cold sweat gather on his back. He wanted Guo Luo to be happy, but having dozens of kids? His head ached just at the thought. It seemed that he would have to be more careful with his words in the future.
