Chapter 210: Chapter 163: People of the Same Path (Part 2)

Zou Feng felt a deep sense of sympathy. ’Substitution’ was a method of Cultivation even more difficult than Visualization.

This was especially true for an Evil Skill that required such an intense environment.

Zou Feng couldn’t help but raise his cup to Murong Yunhai in a toast.

As for why Murong Yunhai had said so much…

For one, he didn’t care. His status and position were self-evident. When he met a fellow practitioner, he said whatever he pleased, holding nothing back.

And for another… Zou Feng suspected Murong Yunhai wasn’t finished yet.

Just as the two of them finished their drinks, the next, even more sensational performance was about to begin.

Seeing this, Murong Yunhai proposed, “Brother Zou, for this next performance… how about we try a cooperative Cultivation?”

’So there was more to it!’

“This… Cultivation can be cooperative? I’d like to hear more!”

Murong Yunhai said, “If I’m not mistaken, the Cultivation Skill Brother Zou just used can influence the emotions of others?”

“That’s right,” Zou Feng admitted freely.

There was little to no chance of conflict between him and Murong Yunhai. Besides, the other man had just been completely forthcoming; it would be petty of him to be secretive now.

“This substitution method of my Cultivation has one major problem… I am not a fan of Beast Taming.”

“Thus, every time I ’substitute,’ no matter how I operate my Cultivation Skill or clear my mind of stray thoughts, I still feel a deep-seated repulsion!”

“So I was hoping, if possible, that Brother Zou could try to influence my emotions. At least for a short while, allow me to genuinely and willingly ’substitute’…” Murong Yunhai continued.

Zou Feng didn’t ask why Murong Yunhai didn’t just participate himself—a question that would have made him seem like an amateur when it came to Evil Skills.

Nor did he ask what he would get for helping Murong Yunhai. Instead, he immediately agreed, “In that case, I will do my best.”

Since Murong Yunhai had called it a collaboration, he naturally wasn’t going to let Zou Feng work for nothing.

The next moment, he produced a pitch-black Elixir. “This is a Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill,” he said. “It is perfectly suited for practicing Visualization-type Cultivation Skills.”

“If Brother Zou trusts me, take it once the performance begins. It is guaranteed to have a wondrous effect.”

Zou Feng reached out and took it without hesitation. “With Brother Murong’s reputation,” he said with a smile, “how could I not trust you?”

As he spoke, he brought the Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill to the tip of his nose for a sniff.

First, a look. Second, a touch. Third, a sniff.

After this three-step process, given Zou Feng’s proficiency in the Poison Dao, he could immediately confirm that the Elixir was non-toxic and had not been tampered with in any way.

The Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill, as its name implied, could first and foremost ’stabilize the soul’ during Visualization.

The greatest fear during Visualization is becoming completely lost, essentially visualizing oneself into madness.

Thus, the benefits of ’soul stabilization’ were self-evident.

Unfortunately, since Zou Feng could transfer side effects, this ’soul-stabilizing’ effect was more or less dispensable for him.

The latter ’spirit-condensing’ effect, however, was something to look forward to.

Seeing that the performance was about to begin, Zou Feng stood up, walked over, and sat down next to Murong Yunhai.

Then, with a discreet motion, he struck Murong Yunhai’s back three consecutive times with the Great Universal Hand.

Murong Yunhai offered no resistance, instead closing his eyes and immersing himself in the effects of the three palm strikes.

When he opened his eyes again, his previous shrewdness was gone, replaced by a look of utter perversion.

He was finally, genuinely, and impatiently looking forward to the sensational performance that was about to begin.

This gave Zou Feng a newfound appreciation for the power of his Great Universal Hand.

After all, even though Murong Yunhai hadn’t resisted, he was still a Sixth Grade master, yet the effect had been astonishingly good.

’The Great Universal Hand can not only beat someone into a listless loafer, but it can also beat them into a pervert…’

Without further delay, Zou Feng washed down the Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill with a cup of wine.

The fact that Murong Yunhai had offered it as a term for their collaboration was proof enough that the Elixir was the kind of priceless treasure you couldn’t buy on the open market.

The second performance officially began, and the entire hall descended into utter pandemonium.

Compared to everything else, Zou Feng and Murong Yunhai’s quiet Cultivation was hardly conspicuous, as the venue was filled with far more eye-watering displays of “performance art.”

The first performance had merely been a warm-up; people hadn’t truly let loose yet. Now, the main event had begun.

Any normal person unaccustomed to such sights would probably have vomited their guts out on the spot.

In this utterly vile and decadent environment, aided by the Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill, Zou Feng’s Visualization Cultivation reached a whole new level.

Previously, when he visualized such scenes, the Cultivation effects were decent, but like Murong Yunhai, Zou Feng didn’t actually have a taste for this sort of thing. The feeling of repulsion he felt during Visualization prevented him from ever fully immersing himself.

But with the Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill, the effect was immediate, just as Murong Yunhai had said.

During his Visualization, Zou Feng’s spiritual consciousness felt as if it were in a higher dimension, looking down upon the All Living Beings’ Appearance.

No matter how vile the scene became, Zou Feng was able to remain centered, his emotions no longer showing any discernible fluctuation.

He was completely immersed, yet simultaneously detached from it all. It was a contradiction, but to achieve this state was to reach the highest Realm of Visualization.

Thus, before the performance had even ended, Zou Feng’s body trembled, a look of sudden enlightenment on his face.

He rose to his feet at once. Ignoring the final act of the performance, he used the excuse of needing the latrine and ducked into the backyard of the Spring Night Building.

As some patrons preferred a more natural setting, the Spring Night Building’s backyard featured a meticulously crafted grove, a pond for frolicking, and numerous haystacks and rock piles.

When Zou Feng arrived in the backyard, he found many spots already occupied by couples locked in passionate clinches.

He paid the others no mind. With every step he took, Zou Feng struck a bizarre pose.

Each pose represented one of the seven emotions and six desires.

Empowered by his Gang Qi, these different poses left numerous afterimages in their wake, creating an eerie spectacle.

When Zou Feng took his final step, all the Gang Qi afterimages merged back into his body at once.

For a moment, Zou Feng looked like a monster with a dozen arms, legs, and heads.

“HA—”

Once the afterimages had fully merged, Zou Feng formed a Dharma Seal and let out a shout with his breath.

The roar wasn’t particularly loud. In theory, it shouldn’t have carried far in a backyard already filled with a cacophony of high-pitched noises.

And yet, everyone in the backyard heard it with perfect clarity and stopped what they were doing almost in unison.

Every single couple in the backyard, composed of patrons and brothel girls, had been in the throes of insatiable lust.

Yet, the moment Zou Feng’s voice reached their ears, the patrons’ passion vanished completely. Their eyes instantly took on the clarity of a sage.

As for the brothel girls, they were all struck by the simultaneous urge to leave their profession and start a new life, unwilling to waste away any longer.

The once-raucous backyard fell utterly silent in a matter of moments.

Great Universal Hand (Peak of Perfection), Progress: 2%

In truth, Zou Feng didn’t need to look to know that his Great Universal Hand had broken through.

That single roar had been tantamount to a large-area Magic spell. While it had no power to harm, it could sway the very hearts of a large group of people at once.

Of course, the reason a single roar could be so potent was that the Great Universal Hand had integrated the Enchanting Heart and Soul Stealing Technique.

The power the Great Universal Hand displayed after reaching the Peak Realm made Zou Feng feel that if he were to join a war, he could likely change the course of a battle more effectively than an ordinary Sixth Grade expert.

Speaking of which, the Great Universal Hand’s rapid breakthrough was in no small part due to his collaboration with Murong Yunhai. The Soul Stabilizing and Spirit Condensing Pill was truly remarkable.

Otherwise, even though the Great Universal Hand had been on the verge of a breakthrough, Zou Feng couldn’t say for sure how much longer it might have taken.

’And since he and Murong Yunhai were now kindred spirits on the same path, their collaboration would surely not end here…’

At this thought, Zou Feng immediately turned and headed back to the main hall.

Behind him, the entire backyard was filled with only the quiet rustle of people getting dressed.

When Zou Feng returned to the hall, he found the scene was even more chaotic than when he had left.

He glanced at the stage. The intense performance was over, but the audience’s fervor had reached an unprecedented high.

This was clearly not normal.

Aside from Murong Yunhai, who was still practicing his Skill, there was hardly a single sane person left in the hall.
