There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

That was incredibly reckless of you!

Zi Nu was unaware of the special mental cultivation technique called "Three-Foot Divine Observation Technique." She only felt that Jiang Mo was acting recklessly, and she couldn't just sit idly by.

So he composed himself and sat down to help Jiang Mo break through his eight extraordinary meridians by channeling his internal energy.

This movement of energy was extraordinary. The first thing Zi Nu felt was a kind of internal force that, while not particularly powerful, was very pure. It was clearly the kind of internal force that could only be cultivated by someone with a very high level of internal skill.

Then, another strange surge of heat appeared.

That wasn't internal energy, but a special kind of energy closer to innate true qi, only it wasn't pure enough. Most importantly, its aura was quite similar to that of Yan Lingji.

Now, Zi Nu's internal energy has joined in.

The three distinct energies quickly became entangled.

Chapter 45 Connecting the Ren and Du Meridians

Jiang Mo wasn't entirely aware of Zi Nu's various probing attempts.

Despite the assistance of the "Three-Foot Divine Observation Technique," he did not suppress the various distracting thoughts that came his way, and he always maintained his body's perception of the outside world. However, the fact that he did not open his eyes meant that most of the information would be missing.

He couldn't see Zi Nu's alluring and charming appearance at that moment.

She could only feel the other person in her arms without feeling comforted.

The delicate skin clinging tightly to my body radiated heat, and the sound of my clothes gently rubbing against me made me feel the smooth, fragrant sensation of the fabric after being soaked in sweat.

The delicate, tender hands that usually pour tea and wine skillfully stroked Jiang Mo's lower abdomen.

It was as if plucking the strings of a pipa, gently strumming and slowly plucking.

It stirred up the already surging desires.

Even the fragrance wafting into her nostrils seemed to have changed. Accompanied by the heavy breathing of the woman, a warm, moist breeze kept blowing towards her.

It added a touch of allure and charm to her originally faint, delicate fragrance, which was like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.

Just like animals release different pheromones when they are in heat, Zi Nu's body fragrance also changed slightly under the stimulation of hormones.

More fragrant, more alluring.

This aroused Jiang Mo's internal energy and blood, making him even more restless.

This made him, who was working hard to open up the Ren and Du meridians, even more motivated.

Perhaps because the turmoil of his blood and qi exceeded a certain threshold, the Flame Spirit's protection, which was only triggered when Jiang Mo was in danger, also surged from Jiang Mo's limbs and bones at this moment.

Perhaps sensing that Jiang Mo was about to face the calamity of being burned alive, they came to help.

However, this burning desire was not easily extinguished. The flame spirits that flowed around Jiang Mo in the form of warm currents did not calm him down; instead, they made him even more sweaty.

However, it is indeed remarkably effective.

The power wielded by Yan Lingji has always been the nemesis of Yin Sha elements such as Corpse Puppet. The meridians that had been somewhat distorted by the Corpse Puppet's secret techniques have seen a significant improvement in their condition after being protected by Yan Lingji.

As it turns out, even the coldest iceberg will melt if the temperature rises.

As the power of the Flame Spirit surged forth, the meridians that had previously made it difficult for Jiang Mo's internal energy to advance any further finally could no longer maintain their unmoved state.

Through Jiang Mo's tireless efforts, the gap was finally opened little by little, allowing his internal energy to slowly penetrate into it and further expand his meridians from the inside.

The addition of Zi Nu's internal energy is also a very powerful boost.

Jiang Mo's internal strength was not particularly profound to begin with, and after using his internal energy to break through the blockages in his meridians, he inevitably became somewhat exhausted.

However, at this moment, the internal energy that Zi Nu continuously transferred solved Jiang Mo's deficiency in this area. With Zi Nu, who had already opened all eight extraordinary meridians, assisting him, Jiang Mo had no worries about the consumption of internal energy.

Moreover, the internal energy that Zi Nu brought in was an excellent boost.

Although Jiang Mo had inherited Mo Yuan's experience, his physical condition in reality was too different, so that experience could only be used as a reference.

When it comes to opening up the meridians, he's like a complete novice with only theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience. No matter how eloquently he talked beforehand, when it came to actually doing it, he inevitably became flustered and clumsy.

So much so that sometimes they act recklessly with brute force, charging around and causing injuries to both sides.

Zi Nu was clearly not helping someone open up their meridians for the first time.

At least when it comes to opening up the eight extraordinary meridians, she has far more theoretical and practical experience than Jiang Mo.

She can guide Jiang Mo step by step.

Like a gentle and mature older sister, she controlled her warm and gentle internal energy to attach to Jiang Mo's internal energy, guiding him to the next step.

Surge, flow, and even gradually merge.

Introducing internal energy from others during internal energy cultivation is a rather dangerous practice.

Even fellow disciples practicing the same technique will have different understandings and insights when cultivating internal energy due to their different physical constitutions. The internal energy they need to cultivate will also have different characteristics and will not be the same.

If there is a lack of sufficient understanding, rashly injecting internal energy into the other person's body will often cause internal energy to repel each other.

This even led to a disruption in their energy flow, causing both sides to suffer backlash.

Perhaps it is because Zi Nu's cultivation method is special, her internal energy is gentle and mild, and seems to have a strong inclusiveness. There is no sign of mutual repulsion between her and Jiang Mo's internal energy cultivated by "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon".

Furthermore, because Jiang Mo was attacking his Ren and Du meridians, Zi Nu's Qi and blood were also stimulated during her cultivation.

It resonated with the surging blood and qi within Jiang Mo's body, even surging and converging, showing a faint tendency to merge into one.

With the combined internal strength of Qi and his companion, the bottleneck that had hindered countless martial arts practitioners was no longer a problem.

The further Jiang Mo went, the weaker the resistance he felt became.

When he finally opened up the Ren and Du meridians in one breath, feeling that he had complete control over the Qi and blood in his body, Jiang Mo even felt a sense of exhilaration and lingering satisfaction.

However, Jiang Mo understood the principle that everything should be done in moderation.

Although the feeling just now was very strange and wonderful, he did not rush to attack the subsequent meridians.

As Jiang Mo stopped circulating his internal energy, Zi Nu also prepared to withdraw her internal energy. The internal energies that had been intertwined between the two separated again and surged back into their respective dantian.

It's even more inevitable that people will feel a strange sense of emptiness due to the decline and weakening of their internal energy.

We can never go back to the way things were.

Jiang Mo felt it clearly. Although the time he spent merging his inner strength with Zi Nu's was not long, his own inner strength was indeed affected by her, resulting in some subtle changes.

Yin and Yang complement each other, each taking advantage of its strengths.

This is the profound mystery of dual cultivation, which Jiang Mo truly experienced this time. He clearly discovered that his internal energy still exhibited the lightness and agility of "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon," but it also possessed a unique quality compared to before.

This situation, which compensated for Jiang Mo's short training days and slightly shallow internal strength, also occurred with Zi Nu. Although helping others open up their meridians is usually quite mentally taxing, Zi Nu did not feel much fatigue this time.

On the contrary, the surge of internal energy, along with the accompanying blood and qi, makes them feel invigorated.

The pain in my sprained ankle has been greatly reduced.

Even their internal strength has improved.

Zi Nu lingered on that state of mind even more, savoring it for a long time before slowly opening her eyes again.

Her slender, long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and as soon as she opened her eyes, which were filled with satisfaction, she met Jiang Mo's dark and deep pupils.

Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.

Zi Nu had clearly prepared her explanation in case she accidentally revealed something, but now she felt that she didn't need to say anything at all.

However, after just one glance, the two understood each other's thoughts and feelings.

Everything is understood without words.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but lean forward subconsciously, his gaze following the slender neck of the woman in purple down to her clothes, which were already soaked with sweat.

When Jiang Mo watched the TV series as a child, he felt that Zhang Wuji was a wicked young man.

Otherwise, why would he always have to remove all his clothes and be completely naked when using the Nine Yang Divine Skill to heal women? But when healing men, there are no such rules; he can just use his internal energy directly.

But now that I've experienced it firsthand, I have a much deeper understanding of it.

If possible, it's best to be honest with each other.

At least, it means I can wash two fewer sets of clothes.

The two were so engrossed in the exquisite harmony of their practice that they were completely unaware of what was happening. Only after they stopped did they realize that their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Zi Nu always wore a black bodysuit.

Dark-colored clothing, even when soaked with sweat, often doesn't appear very sheer.

However, after absorbing too much water, her clothes clung tightly to her skin, making her already slender figure even more prominent.

The majestic peaks stand proudly, clearly visible at a glance.

Her rosy skin, covered with a thin layer of sweat, looked even more smooth and alluring, making one want to reach out and gently touch it.

Both breaths gradually became heavy.

The two, who couldn't help but slowly approach each other, were about to experience the wonderful bliss of their union when suddenly a white shadow pounced and cut in between them.

"Hmm? Little White, are you hungry?"

Seeing the white fox burrowing into his arms and arching itself backward, Jiang Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised. He grabbed the fox by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.

He casually tossed it aside and continued what he had been doing.

But the little guy immediately came running back, shoving his way between the two of them.

They looked like they were on high alert.

"Hmph, you really need to discipline this little rascal!"

Having been disturbed time and again, Zi Nu couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed. She immediately reported to Jiang Mo that the white fox had been stealing things everywhere.

"Huh? You little rascal, why are you still stealing? Hand over what you stole!"

Hearing Jiang Mo's reprimand, the white fox seemed a little reluctant, but seeing that the two had finally managed to divert their attention, it had no choice but to reluctantly take out the things it had hidden.

"Fire Rain Agate? You stole that too!"

Before he could examine the other items closely, Jiang Mo immediately noticed the dazzling treasure. His brow furrowed, and he flicked the white fox's nose hard with his finger.

The little guy was in so much pain he almost jumped up.

"Please help me return it to Miss Nongyu and apologize to her on my behalf."

Jiang Mo handed the Fire Rain Agate to Zi Nu, and thinking of Nong Yu's tragic past, he couldn't help but say something else:
