"It's Smiling Proud Wanderer and Xia Ke Island; I didn't expect the multiverse map to be able to fuse like this."

"But why is the time flow rate 1:1000?"

Ning Yuan was a bit puzzled. If the Smiling Proud Wanderer world's level was inferior to Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, he could understand. But with the addition of Xia Ke Island, the Xia Ke Island world was not ordinary.

"However, overall, except for Shi Potian, even if others had high Cultivation Technique, they were within a certain range and might not be stronger than the top experts in Smiling Proud Wanderer. In fact, except for Shi Potian, the strength of others might not even compare to Dongfang Bubai and Feng Qingyang."

"Those top experts are probably on par with Ren Woxing, Zuo Lengchan, Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and the like."

"Murong Fu and Ding Chunqiu from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are only stronger, not weaker, than these people."

"Therefore, this can be understood."

"But my current identity is actually Yue Buqun, I really didn't expect it!"

Ning Yuan felt a bit emotional. He originally thought that even if he couldn't be the protagonist, entering Smiling Proud Wanderer, he should at least be someone like Lin Pingzhi, Tian Boguang, or other Disciples of Yue Buqun.

He didn't expect to become a middle-aged man.

"The multiverse map really doesn't give me any chance. Even if I memorize Cultivation Technique and know how to Cultivate, as long as it's not through exchange, I can't Cultivate here. I can only master it through exchange."

Ning Yuan shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

If not for this, he would have been able to Cultivate any Cultivation Technique he had obtained before. What a pity, what a pity... "Never mind, isn't it just a little Luck? As long as it can make me advance A Thousand Miles a Day, it's enough. Fortunately, the top power in this world isn't strong, so I don't need to exchange too much. After all, my main body is everything to me. I entered this world not to consume, but to earn Luck and advance to Aperture Condensation."

Ning Yuan thought silently, glancing at the exchange requirements.

Bei Ming Divine Skill still required 300 points of Luck.

This made Ning Yuan's mouth twitch.

He could only curse the multiverse map for being so dark.

"I originally thought that the Luck obtained this way would be enough to easily exchange for the strongest and most important Cultivation Technique of a world. I didn't expect that if I entered a world like Smiling Proud Wanderer, where the starting point is low and it's difficult to obtain peerless techniques, I would still need to spend additional Luck to exchange for Cultivation Technique again. In this way, the Luck might not be enough."

"It seems that the next time I return to Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I need to complete the remaining tasks and see if I can obtain more Luck."

Ning Yuan made up his mind, then his gaze fell on the talent column.

"Let me see what my talent is this time."

"Dual Cultivation of Blessing and Wisdom: Bodhisattvas practice Dual Cultivation of Blessing and Wisdom; wise people achieve results without forgetting their roots. (After Dual Cultivation every day, Comprehension Ability stacks based on the number of people with Luck in Dual Cultivation, with a maximum of 10 times per person per single instance, lasting for 10 days. Different people's statuses can stack, up to a hundred times.)"

"It really is..."

Ning Yuan didn't know whether to be happy or have mixed feelings.

The understanding of Dual Cultivation of Blessing and Wisdom, and A Thousand Miles a Day, were remarkably similar.

It meant that he could enhance his Comprehension Ability by Dual Cultivation with others.

And the amplification factor would be calculated by the number of times. One person could gain up to ten times Comprehension Ability within ten days.

But within these ten days, other people could also be added.

Stacking until it reached a hundred times.

The previous [A Thousand Miles a Day] increased Cultivation speed, while now it was Comprehension Ability.

Although Comprehension Ability couldn't make him gain Cultivation power faster, it could allow him to comprehend, and even deduce, any Cultivation Technique at a faster speed.

"You think too highly of me!"

Ning Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. Although he was very unwilling to say he couldn't do it, achieving a hundredfold amplification was indeed very difficult.

However, Ning Yuan quickly stopped thinking about these things.

"Comprehension Ability is good. Even if it's just a dozen or dozens of times the amplification, it's enough. With improved Comprehension Ability, I can master Cultivation Technique faster, and even innovate and perfect Bei Ming Divine Skill, allowing it to reach a Medium Grade or even High Grade peerless technique of Dao Foundation."

Ning Yuan was not in a hurry to exchange for martial arts, because what he needed most was Bei Ming Divine Skill. There was no need to exchange for other martial arts, and his Luck was not enough now.

It was better to master his own peerless techniques first.

Ning Yuan closed his eyes, and Zixia Divine Skill, Mount Hua Swordplay, and others quickly appeared in his mind, gradually becoming thoroughly understood.

"Let me see what stage the plot has reached now."

Ning Yuan walked out of the room, and it was almost dusk outside.

"Senior Brother, you've come out of seclusion?"

"I just happen to have something to discuss with you."

As Yue Buqun walked out of the courtyard, a joyful voice came. Ning Yuan turned his head and saw a gentle and simple woman approaching.

The woman was over thirty, with a beautiful face, dignified demeanor, and simple attire.

Completely different from the vibrant beauty of the women in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

"Junior Sister, what happened?"

Ning Yuan quickly blended into the environment and asked casually.

"Liu Zhengfeng of Mount Heng is holding a Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony and has specially invited various sects to attend. I was just about to discuss this with Senior Brother."

Ning Zhongze took out an invitation from her embrace.

"So it's this matter."

Ning Yuan was stunned, then quickly reacted, understanding where the plot was.

"It seems that at this time, the Lin family has been destroyed, and Linghu Chong has already met Tian Boguang, Ren Yingying, and others."

"But I am not Yue Buqun; I don't care about sectarian prejudices. As for the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual..."

Ning Yuan's lips twitched slightly. Naturally, he wouldn't care about such a technique that would sever one's lineage.

"Since Mount Heng has extended an invitation, we of Mount Hua should naturally go. How about this..."

Ning Yuan's eyes flickered, then he continued, "We will depart in three days."

"Three days?"

Ning Zhongze was a little surprised.

"Mm."

Ning Yuan didn't explain.

Because if he went to Mount Heng with his current strength, encountering people from Mount Song or the Demonic Cult would only bring humiliation.

Before that, he naturally had to improve his strength as much as possible.

Moreover, he also knew about the peerless techniques of the Five Mountains sects on Si Guo Cliff, as well as their methods of 破解. He had to obtain all of these.

As for Feng Qingyang's Nine Swords of Dugu, that would depend on Luck and could only be discussed later.

That was not something that could be sought in a short period of time.

"Then Senior Brother, let's go eat first."

Ning Yuan did not refuse.

Ever since he arrived in this world, he had been integrating his Cultivation Technique and was already hungry.

After meeting the Disciples and having dinner, Ning Yuan and Ning Zhongze returned to their room.

"Senior Brother, are you still Cultivating tonight?"

Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun and suddenly asked.

Ning Yuan also looked at Ning Zhongze and suddenly said, "Not tonight. For many years, I've been preoccupied with Cultivating, neglecting Junior Sister. Does Junior Sister harbor any resentment?"

Ning Zhongze was startled, not expecting Yue Buqun to say such words. Then she shook her head and said, "I know that ever since the internal strife between the Sword and Qi factions, which caused our Mount Hua to decline, Senior Brother has been solely focused on the heavy responsibility of Mount Hua's resurgence, and has been harsh on himself. As a Disciple of Mount Hua, how could I have any resentment? I only hope that Senior Brother also understands the importance of balancing work and rest."

Ning Zhongze comforted him.

"Junior Sister, you've worked hard all these years."

Ning Yuan suddenly pulled Ning Zhongze into his embrace.

Ning Zhongze's cheeks immediately flushed, a mix of surprise and shyness.

How many years had it been since they had such intimate gestures?

Soon, Ning Zhongze felt a strange sensation. Her body stiffened. As an experienced woman, she naturally knew what that was.

It had been many years since she... now... "Junior Sister, let's have another child tonight!"

Ning Yuan picked up Ning Zhongze in one swift motion.

Ning Zhongze's face was crimson, and she naturally wouldn't refuse, nor did she have any reason to refuse.

After all, they were husband and wife to begin with.

"Junior Sister, I haven't bought you a beautiful dress all these years. That's my dereliction of duty as a husband."

As Ning Yuan unbuttoned Ning Zhongze's clothes, he said with a pained expression.

There were still a few patches on the hem of Ning Zhongze's clothes.

Mount Hua had not been wealthy all these years.

To support so many Disciples, who trained martial arts year-round, and then due to the internal strife, their income declined. Even though he had traveled the Jianghu for years and accumulated a good reputation, their lives were still tight.

After all, they were a famous righteous sect and could not commit acts of extortion.

"I don't care about these things."

Ning Zhongze, however, was nonchalant.

As layer after layer was undone, Ning Zhongze's plump body was revealed.

"Senior Brother!"

Ning Zhongze called out softly, her face flushed.

"My lady, such fertile land has been fallow for too long. It is my fault as your husband. Today, I, your husband, shall make Junior Sister..."

Ning Yuan looked down and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Senior Brother, what are you saying!"

Ning Zhongze showed shyness. Although she had been married for over a decade and her daughter was already grown, how could she withstand such words?

After all, the former Yue Buqun had always been a gentleman, doing everything in a meticulous manner, so how could he possibly be like this?

"What your husband says is all true!"

Ning Yuan smiled slightly and no longer stood on ceremony.

The flower path has never been swept for guests; the humble door opens today for you!

After many years, Secluded Valley once again welcomed its master.

After a storm.

Ning Zhongze, drenched in sweat, nestled in Ning Yuan's embrace.

Although she felt that today's Yue Buqun had a vastly different personality from before, he was still the same person after all.

"Senior Brother, why did you suddenly think of... with me tonight?"

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I gained a lot of insights during this seclusion, which led to some changes. It's truly inappropriate that I've made Junior Sister work so hard all these years. From now on, I will treat Junior Sister even better."

Ning Yuan gently embraced her, then flipped over and pressed down again. "I will make Junior Sister happy."

"Junior Sister, you'll have to work hard tonight."

Ning Zhongze wrapped her arms around Ning Yuan's neck, pressing her body against his chest.

Three hours later, Ning Zhongze was already completely collapsed on the bed, fast asleep.

Ning Yuan got up, put on his clothes, and opened the panel.

His Luck remained untouched, as Ning Zhongze was, after all, his wife.

"Sorry! Too many things lately, today's update is late, and I have things tomorrow and the day after!"
