Ring, ring, ring~~

It wasn't until a cell phone ringtone went off that both people, asleep, were startled awake, and Qin Fang also emerged from that extremely mystical state.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

But as soon as the two opened their eyes and saw each other, they both simultaneously let out a cry of surprise, but then they both fell silent.

"Did you wake up?"

"Did you wake up?"

The two almost spoke in unison, asking the same question in chorus.

"Mhm!"

"Mhm!"

Even nodding their heads was done at the same time, a level of synchrony simply unimaginable.

"Answer the phone!"

"I'll answer it!"

The continuously ringing phone was Qin Fang's, and the two of them spoke at the same time again, although no longer parroting each other word for word, their intentions were still the same.

This was a very strange kind of harmony, all stemming from their accidental union and also because of that miraculous Joyous Zen Technique.

This profound Zen technique from the Esoteric Sect was not fully understood by Qin Fang before, but now he did.

Perhaps it was because Chu Yunxuan was the first woman he cultivated with, and it even started with both of them being virgins; moreover, Qin Fang was in an extremely dangerous and abnormal state when they did so, so the effect was unprecedentedly potent.

Not only did Chu Yunxuan step into Qin Fang's past life, but Qin Fang also understood Chu Yunxuan's past twenty years of life very clearly now, and he knew about the grudges and entanglements she had with that man.

What happened last night was indeed too unexpected for the two of them, or perhaps too dreamlike, making Qin Fang feel as if he were in a dream.

Chu Yunxuan felt the same way; she didn't understand why she disliked Qin Fang before, but now however she looked at him, she thought Qin Fang was absolutely perfect.

Qin Fang answered the call but didn't say much, only uttering a few "Mhms" before hanging up.

"Was it Li Yang who called?"

Chu Yunxuan now seemed like an extremely gentle and docile wife, that queenly aura no longer present; her tone was so gentle, unlike her previous coldness.

"The ingredients I listed on that medicinal recipe for him have some news... he was going to look for me and realized I wasn't around, that's why he called."

Chu Yunxuan was the only person in this world who knew the most about his matters.

Of course, that mysterious system was not included in this, that part of his memory being automatically sealed off such that no one but Qin Fang himself could ever know.

"Medicinal recipe? The one for Uncle Li? You really are too wicked..."

Chu Yunxuan immediately understood what was going on and said with a chuckle.

The two had no barriers between them, their talk was exceedingly affectionate and casual, as if they had been lovers for many years, yet in reality, they had only known each other for the second day.

Having additional memories of Qin Fang, she naturally knew about Qin Fang taking the opportunity to heal General Li to seek some personal gain.

However, Chu Yunxuan now wouldn't think there was anything bad about Qin Fang doing this, as she was now completely on Qin Fang's side, and thus she didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Actually, you could teach the recipe to me; after all, I have a doctorate in pharmacology from Harvard Medical School, I'm good at this..."

Having mentioned the medicinal recipe, Chu Yunxuan also knew about the Heart Nourishing Pill recipe, thus she made such a suggestion.

A thought crossed Qin Fang's mind, and he really started to consider this idea.

Without question, the Heart Nourishing Pill was an absolute panacea for the most stubborn heart diseases, the only pity being that the ingredients listed in the prescription were hard to find and could only be easily produced by Qin Fang himself.

However, the process of Qin Fang crafting medicine was not suitable for public disclosure, making it impossible to mass-produce this medicine.

Chu Yunxuan had a Ph.D. in pharmacology, and Qin Fang also knew her mastery in pharmacology was at the Grandmaster Level, so her expertise was definitely without question. If he was to refine the Heart Nourishing Pill and then hand it over to Chu Yunxuan for analysis of the various components, using other drugs for substitution or dilution, then it would be entirely feasible to mass-produce this very beneficial drug for humanity.

Heart disease was undoubtedly a global medical conundrum, and the number of deaths it caused each year was no small figure. Should the Heart Nourishing Pills be made available, it could definitely fill this void— not only would it save many lives, but it would also bring Qin Fang immense fame and wealth.

"This idea isn't bad... But I'll have to wait until I've actually refined that elixir!"

But this was just a concept for now; gathering the ingredients for the Heart Nourishing Pill was not easy and might be unattainable in the short term, so the development would have to be postponed. However, Qin Fang already had such a plan in mind.

After all, he didn't just have the prescription for the Heart Nourishing Pill; he also had the formula for the Detoxification Pill, and it was entirely possible that he could obtain other prescriptions in the future. He could definitely dedicate efforts in this area.

All these matters could be put aside for the moment. Qin Fang felt that the dual cultivation session that night was extremely beneficial, yielding much gain, so he flipped through his character and skill panels to check them.

Through this dual cultivation, Qin Fang had come to understand the power of Great Bliss Zen, enabling him to gain additional insights into the Martial Way.

These insights were not the result of improved skills, but came from his own comprehension and perception.

The difference between having an insight and not having it was significant. If he were to face an enemy now, the battle between two people would not be evenly matched at all, but would be a complete one-sided affair.

Great Bliss Zen was a Special Skill, leaning more towards internal power, and was very effective in the spiritual aspect of cultivation. It also spurred an increase in his National Arts Skill proficiency.

"Jumped 30% in just one night..."

Looking at the proficiency that had soared so suddenly, Qin Fang's face was filled with surprise. An increase of 30% was a truly terrifying figure.

Qin Fang's National Arts Skill progression was usually very slow, requiring him to practice bit by bit, and even with direct guidance from Old Master Wu, a Grandmaster, the proficiency only surged by 20%. This time it was a full half more than before.

This was the growth represented by data. There were also improvements not shown in the data: Qin Fang's Inner Breath had definitely become more than twice as powerful as before.

If previously Qin Fang's Inner Breath was like a pellet gun, now it had undergone a huge transformation—it was like upgrading to a machine gun, with incomparably stronger firepower.

With stronger Inner Breath, Qin Fang's other skills could also become much more powerful. For example, his acupuncture skill, The Nine Revival Needles, was about using Inner Breath to drive the needles; the strength of the Inner Breath absolutely determined the timing and intensity of the needlework.

Previously, when Old Master Wu forced the poison out of him, Qin Fang had almost gone mad due to excessive consumption of Inner Breath. If it were now, it would definitely not be as dire.

After checking his own changes, Qin Fang nonchalantly cast a Scouting Skill on Chu Yunxuan, which immediately made him stunned because Chu Yunxuan's attributes had also changed.

"Chu Yunxuan, LV3, Military Doctor, Righteous Guardian Faction, Abilities: Western Medicine Level 5, Pharmacology Level 6, Pharmaceutics Level 5, Karate Level 2, Inner Strength Level 1..."

Seeing such a result, Qin Fang was somewhat surprised!

Recalling the reconnaissance from yesterday, he remembered it quite clearly. At that time, Chu Yunxuan was only LV2, but now she had become LV3, having leveled up overnight, and in addition, she had gained "Inner Strength Level 1."

Such changes came overnight, and the reason... was obviously due to their dual cultivation.

Not only did Qin Fang's strength increase significantly, but Chu Yunxuan also benefited considerably. A woman who originally did not know Inner Strength now possessed Inner Breath, which was quite an impressive feat.

Remembering General Li's disappointment, and how his senior sister Li Yang had excellent martial arts talent, even slightly better than the Tian Nan Four Shows, but was born unable to cultivate Inner Breath, resulting in her having Level 5 combat strength but still unable to defeat other Level 5 experts...

Seeing this new ability added to Chu Yunxuan, Qin Fang thought about whether he could use this method to let his other women also achieve Inner Strength.

Tang Feifei was secretly protected, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to touch her, so Qin Fang was not too worried about her.

But Xiao Muxue, Fan Ning, Wen Yan, and Miao Yue were all ordinary people with no ability to resist danger. If he could let them possess Inner Strength too and teach them some self-defense skills, their safety would definitely be greatly enhanced. Then Qin Fang could leave home with much greater peace of mind.

He had now taken on the task of the King of Assassins. Things were still manageable for the time being, but there was no doubt that he would be busier in the future, even skirting the edge of death, and he did not want his women to be threatened, thereby compromising his own safety...

Therefore, the safety of these women had to be taken seriously...

While Qin Fang was still lying there, his mind was filled with countless thoughts. He had a long road ahead, and the System had been a great help, but he couldn't take it lightly— who knew when he might encounter some perverse task again. So, he had to be extremely cautious and prepared for certain details...

Without question, his biggest weakness lay in these women... (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
