Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 387 Time

The meeting concluded at that point as the ladies in the sect were preparing to embark on the journey to Fantian Kingdom, which required some preparations and would take about 2-3 days with their speed as they had to in a way adjust to the slowest person who in this case was Yu Huan.

And even if it was slower than Wu Long who could cover that distance in under one day, thanks to the superior movement techniques and using a travel formation, covering this long of a distance in a few days was much faster than anyone could on the continent, with the exception of people above Mortal Transcendence Realm.

At the same time Wu Long went to find a suitable and vast enough mansion for them all to live in.

He did not worry too much as he was still one of the richest people around, with the wealth of the Wu Family and the Dawn Concealing Sect in his sole possession.

And with the Branch Manager of the Soaring Feather Trading Company helping him, he soon found the perfect mansion for his needs, purchased from the hands of the formerly wealthy family who have started to struggle in recent years.

The ones who already were in the capital moved in right away, as Wu Long took them downtown shopping for the daily necessities and simply buy whatever they wanted.

Envious gazes of men and women around did not bother them as they enjoyed the company of each other. It was a day filled with relaxed and carefree atmosphere in contrast to the meeting and the mounting tensions.

"Wu Long, is it fine for us to relax like this?"

Feng Yi asked feeling a little dissonance between their situation and the mood of the group.

"Haha, it is in times of tension that you have to find peace, Yi'er. Panic does not lead to good thinking and haste does not lead to good actions. We have this time anyway so it is good to use it to have a good time instead of a bad one filled with stress"

He chuckled as he replied.

"But don't we have preparations to make and things to do?"

"It is important for us to utilize time efficiently but we cannot be paralyzed in constant state of tension.

It does not matter whether Wu Long cultivates with us for the whole month or a few days at the end of that month, the amount of Yin Qi we can give him within that month is the same. So it is sometimes better to cultivate for a few days and spend the rest of the time on other things"

Ye Ling replied next, explaining to her the principles of how Dual Cultivators thought of time.

"Hm? Does it mean that Dual Cultivators can simply wait out until their partners accumulate their Yin or Yang Qi for years and then collect and use it all at once?"

She asked with incredulousness and Hua Ziyan chuckled as she shook her head, while Shen Min and Luo Mingyu who knew less about Dual Cultivation as well listened closely.

"Umm, yes and no. While technically you can accumulate Yin or Yang Qi that your Yin or Yang Root produces for long periods of time, depending on how strong it is the older Yin or Yang Qi will gradually become stale and exhausted. It is also not very good for your health to accumulate too much of either"

Hua Ziyan diligently explained as the others nodded in understanding.

"And then... how much Yin or Yang Qi one releases also varies. Generally the more pleasure one gives to their partner, the more of their accumulated Yin or Yang Qi they can bring out to use for their cultivation. It... is a skill issue"

She then looked at Wu Long with a slightly reddened cheeks implying that Wu Long can afford to spend less time cultivating precisely because he can get his partners to release all of their accumulated Yin Qi in short time. And that normal Dual Cultivators had to spend much more time cultivating to achieve somewhat comparable results.

"I see..."

Feng Yi's face also slightly reddened as she looked at Wu Long, but soon shook her head, returning her thoughts to the conversation.

"...but still, even if we can afford to spend time not cultivating, there are other tasks..."

"Such as?"

Wu Long chuckled in response, receiving a slightly silent response.

"Correct, there are none at this very moment, which is why I can afford to spend this time like this, though some tasks will start to appear with time.

It is important to manage your time, and use it effectively in all aspects. It is the same concept really, I either spend all of the month being busy or a few weeks with the same result, the amount of things I can do is limited since some of the tasks depend on other people or on timing.

And in my view rather than being busy all the time I would be better off being a lot more productive when it matters, leaving more time to be completely free. If there was something I could do immediately to improve our situation, I would be doing it.

But since there is not something at this immediate moment I would rather enjoy the time with my women that I strive to protect"

He then added with a smile. It took time for some of Wu Long's ladies to get used to this kind of thinking, but his repeated efforts in making them relaxed and going on dates during their travels even while seemingly on a schedule gradually allowed them to see his point. Which was exactly why Feng Yi was the only one who felt uneasy about this festive mood out of the beauties here.

It was at these moments that Ye Ling acknowledged the fact that Wu Long truly did slightly change since the time she knew him since it was a way an immortal saw the world, rather than a mortal for whom time was perceived differently.

No matter how logical it was to clearly cut off the feeling of haste, it was much harder to do for a mortal who lived blinded by the moment, who had to do everything and be in time, to not be late and to use his limited time as effectively as possible, becoming self-deprecating for time used inefficiently or 'lost'.

Yet it was often this kind of mindset that prevented people from actually living, since they were not actually in the moment and did not get to enjoy the things they supposedly worked so hard for.

"So enjoy this moment with me Yi'er, since there are hard days and months going forward, we have to take every opportunity to make that hardship worth it"

He chuckled, stretching out his hand to Feng Yi who stopped in a little cathartic shock, as the other beauties all smiled with recognition of that face as every one of them excluding Ye Ling made one just like it once.
