28: Reward: Immortal-grade Dragon and Phoenix Heart-Piercing Slash

Now that Jiang Shuwan had a Cultivation Technique, she was incredibly excited and wanted to Cultivate immediately.

She even told Feng Ming not to wait for her tonight.

When Feng Ming heard this, he thought, she's not even coming back to sleep tonight?

That definitely wouldn't do.

He immediately spoke up, "Cultivation is cultivation, but you shouldn't tire yourself out too much. I'll pick you up tonight."

"Okay!"

Jiang Shuwan smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then she went to a nearby pavilion and began to Cultivate.

Feng Ming was in no hurry to leave; instead, he sat nearby, waiting for the System's feedback.

As Jiang Shuwan began her cultivation, the System's notification sound rang out.

Meanwhile, Ye Gu sat in a chair, quietly waiting for his reward.

Sure enough, after a short while, the System's voice sounded.

[Ding! The Host has gifted the Frost Cold Art and heaven grade Icy Continuous Palm to his wife, Jiang Shuwan. Wife-pampering successful.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a hidden System reward: immortal grade sword technique, Dragon Phoenix Heart-Urging Slash!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for raising the Phoenix and Luan Art to maximum level. As the wife's satisfaction increases, the Phoenix and Luan Art has automatically upgraded to the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art.]

Hearing the System's voice, Feng Ming smiled with satisfaction.

This was the reward he had been waiting for.

With this, what did he have to fear?

Compared to the reward he had already guessed, Feng Ming was even more curious about what the Phoenix and Luan Art would be like after its upgrade.

He opened the System panel.

Feng Ming saw the notes.

[Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art: An upgraded version of the Phoenix and Luan Art. It not only helps the Host increase cultivation speed but also provides feedback to the wife. The stronger the Host's strength, the more feedback she receives.]

Seeing this, Feng Ming frowned. This didn't seem any different from before.

But as he continued reading, he was left a bit dumbfounded.

[Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art: Used between husband and wife, the effect is doubled. For every Rank increased, the Host's combat power increases threefold. Additionally, the Host can share the auxiliary cultivation speed boost with his wife.]

[Supplementary Note: Combat power here does not refer to battlefield fighting ability.]

Put that way, Feng Ming understood immediately.

It was just that... he was in his teens and full of vigor; with his current 'combat power', Shuwan already couldn't handle it.

If his combat power increased further, would Shuwan still be able to take it?

Feng Ming felt a bit helpless; this ability was actually somewhat useless at the moment.

[System Description: The System has detected that the Host's Phoenix and Luan Art is currently locked to only one cultivation partner.]

[Host, please keep up the good work. The more cultivation partners locked, the better the enhancement effect of the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art. Currently, the auxiliary cultivation speed boost for the Host is ten times, and the feedback target can receive a 10% speed boost.]

[The Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art is currently at Level 1. When the Host Cultivates with a second locked partner and their favorability reaches 100%, a 20% feedback boost can be obtained, and so on. Host, please keep up the good work.]

After reading this, Feng Ming was stunned.

What the heck?

So this thing required binding more cultivation partners to work.

But he only had one wife, and he couldn't just replace her.

If it were any other technique, cultivating with someone else would be fine.

But for this technique, unless it was his own wife, no one else could Cultivate it with him.

This was a bit difficult.

This enhancement mechanism was a bit of a trap.

This wasn't cultivation; it was practically focusing on picking up girls.

Well, although he didn't really have any objections...

He wasn't an ungrateful person after all.

Back when his legs were crippled, Jiang Shuwan had still chosen to marry him under those circumstances.

He couldn't break her heart.

Feng Ming had never really thought about taking concubines.

Besides, they had only been married for a few days; they were still in the honeymoon phase and couldn't get enough of each other, so how could he think of anything else?

Of course, if later on Jiang Shuwan didn't object and wasn't sad or hurt, it wasn't something he couldn't consider.

After all, in the world he lived in before, all men thought monogamy was an anti-human setting.

Now that he had come to a world where one could have three wives and four concubines, wouldn't he be out of place if he didn't seize the opportunity and follow the trend?

Men will be men, and Feng Ming was no Saint—well, even the ancient Saints had multiple wives and concubines.

Not to mention those emperors, who had whole swarms of wives and concubines.

Compared to those emperors, he would only be a small fish in a big pond.

But that was all for later; Feng Ming stopped thinking about it.

Instead, on the System interface, he shared the 10% speed feedback he could currently give to Jiang Shuwan.

Just as Feng Ming finished the setting, Jiang Shuwan, who was cultivating, seemed to feel something.

She let out a confused "Huh?"

Clearly, she had noticed something, but she wasn't sure why her cultivation speed had suddenly increased.

Actually, in Feng Ming's view, 10% wasn't much.

His current cultivation speed boost was ten times.

On Jiang Shuwan's side, proportionally, it was only a one-fold increase.

Still, it was better than nothing.

The Phoenix and Luan Art was very powerful before, and the feedback was substantial.

But there were also many restrictive conditions.

After all, they couldn't exactly engage in Dual Cultivation in broad daylight.

Now, they didn't have to do anything for Jiang Shuwan to get a boost, even if it wasn't as much as the ten-fold boost during Dual Cultivation.

But the current 1x boost was something she could feel at any time.

If she cultivated day and night, her cultivation speed would be more than ten times faster than before.

And as more wives' favorability reached the maximum, this effect would increase.

The more wives, the better the effect.

If their favorability all reached the maximum value...

It was simply hard to imagine.

Realizing his mind was wandering, Feng Ming quickly shook his head to clear out the messy thoughts.

"Pah, pah! How can I think such things?"

"More and more wives... System, what do you take me for? A scumbag?"

Though he said that, Feng Ming was inwardly blooming with joy, as if saying:

"System, you sure have a good eye for people! Haha!"

After finishing his research on the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art, Feng Ming finally looked at the immortal grade reward given by the System.

"Dragon Phoenix Heart-Urging Slash."

"What a strange name for a sword technique."

[Dragon Phoenix Heart-Urging Slash: An immortal grade sword technique that focuses on Sword Intent. Upon reaching Major Achievement, one can slash through all things even without a sword.]

Sword Intent?

Slashing all things without a sword.

It didn't even need any other explanation; just this one sentence was enough to shock Feng Ming.

As expected of an immortal grade.

Looking at those few words on the screen before him, Feng Ming felt as if he could already sense a dense Sword Intent.

He stared fixedly, and before he knew it, the Chaos True Qi within his body began to surge.
