Demon Immortal-Chapter 7: Greed is truly endless

As Duncan calmly went through the cultivation technique in his mind, he fully understood the intricacies of the Coiling Dragons Sutra.

Coiling Dragons Sutra was a dual cultivation technique that required the user to circulate the qi in his body in a certain manner during sex. The advantage of this technique is that it could be practiced by cultivators at any stage of the cultivation.

If one analyzed objectively, Coiling Dragon Sutra was not the type of cultivation technique that could be used as a stand-alone technique. Rather, it was a kind of supplementary cultivation technique.

For one, it didn't help a cultivator to absorb spirit qi from the surroundings. One could only use this technique with the help of spirit qi already present in their body.

Another sticking point with this technique was that this technique could only be used for cultivation during sex. These two points made it so that this technique could never be used as a stand-alone cultivation technique by anyone.

Unbeknownst to Duncan, this was the old man's petty revenge against Duncan since Duncan refused his goodwill. The old man wanted Duncan to see the light but yet be unable to truly grasp it, until another fortune appeared in his life. Surely, that old man wasn't a good thing.

However, since this was the technique the old man gave to Duncan to wash his karma, there were bright points within it as well. The technique was one of the top-tier dual cultivation techniques that were present in Duncan's entire world.

As long as one ran this technique while dual cultivating, their realms will get much more stabilized than normal and also see an increase in their qi density. To normal cultivators, this technique would be a god-sent treasure as they don't need to spend their time stabilizing their realms.

And the higher density of qi meant that the cultivators will be stronger than other normal cultivators in the same realm. Which cultivator wouldn't want to practice such a technique that gave them a tremendous advantage over their peers? And this one was a dual cultivation technique to boot.

And the benefits don't end there either. Every time a cultivator who practices this technique copulates successfully, once the deed is done, the technique will help the cultivator by nourishing his body with vital yin-yang qi.

Vital yin-yang qi is one of the rarest types of qi that can only be generated when a male's yang energy mixes with a female's yin energy. The techniques that are able to harvest such a qi are very rare.

Vital yin-yang qi has innate properties to enrich the vitality and nourish the body of a cultivator. They even have the property to heal hidden damages to the body that cultivators accumulate throughout their course of cultivation. From pill toxins to hidden injuries, vital yin-yang qi is able to heal them all.

So, one could only imagine how rare such a cultivation technique is.

Even Duncan, who had not stepped foot in the path of cultivation ended up benefiting by merely perusing this technique while having sex. One could only imagine the effect it will have when two cultivators engage in dual cultivation while using this technique.

If Duncan knew how much the old man had screwed him over by not providing even a trash cultivation technique to go with this technique, he would be apoplectic.

However, Duncan was currently only feeling great with the increased energy he had. Even his anger towards the old man had subsided a little. He even had the idea of apologizing to the old man and plead for some technique to cultivate along with this after experiencing the energy surge.

As the next day rolled over, Duncan set off towards the spirit stone mine he worked in high spirits. He didn't know how to face the old man. It was now clear that the old man was a cultivator, even if he had been tooting his own horn for a long time.

Duncan was undecided as to how to deal with the old man. His anger towards the old man had subsided, but it didn't mean he was resentful towards him. If only the old man had given a cultivation technique along with that Coiling Dragon Sutra, then Duncan would have been truly grateful.

The feeling of being able to experience the benefits of the cultivation without actually stepping foot on the path of cultivation was indescribable to Duncan. It was akin to an itch that he couldn't scratch no matter how he tried. It was really uncomfortable.

As Duncan stood before the mine, he mumbled towards himself in a low voice.

"All right, I didn't know cultivation could feel this good. That said, the old man had already proved his point. When I see him, I am going to act kindly towards him. I will even praise that old fart if I had to. All I need is a proper cultivation technique to practice normally. I will even forget the humiliation and hell that old man put me through. He he he…"

Humans are always like that. Two days ago, Duncan had no wish to cultivate. Now that he had a taste of it, he wanted more. If it meant acting kindly towards the old man to obtain the cultivation technique, he would do it.

After all, greed is truly endless.

With steady steps, Duncan walked into the mine. Before he began his work, he searched for the old man. However, despite searching high and low, Duncan couldn't find the old man.

Despite the old man's absence, Duncan didn't feel down. He was riding off the high he had experienced last evening. So, Duncan went to work as usual. As time passed, Duncan realized that he wasn't feeling tired like he usually did.

By the time lunch rolled around, he could confidently say that he was way more strong than he was usually. It showed in his productivity. The amount of work he used to do in a day had already been done and yet he wasn't feeling the least bit tired.

When the day ended, Duncan had made up for his absence yesterday by showing double the amount of results. Duncan really felt good. The only fly in the wheel was that he wasn't able to find the old man. His inquiries revealed that the old man hadn't come yesterday too.

Despite that bit of unfortunate news, Duncan was still happy when he returned home. He went about his work as usual and awaited the next day eagerly hoping that he would meet the old man the next day.

Days rolled by and weeks passed over, yet Duncan had seen neither hide nor hair of the old man. As weeks passed, the small hope that Duncan was nursing in his heart began to die down. He began to realize that the old man might be truly gone.

The only silver lining in Duncan's otherwise dull days was that he had multiple encounters with Bessa in the following weeks. With his increased productivity, Duncan was earning more and thus was able to afford Bessa much more frequently than he used to previously.

He left Bessa mewling like a puppy at the end of each visit. His body became more and more powerful and he felt as if he had an unending amount of energy wellspring in his body.

But, with each visit, he began to really understand what kind of opportunity he had passed by. As he understood the severity of the lack of proper cultivation technique, he truly realized how cruel the old fart had been to show him the light, yet not allow him to grasp it.

If he had been ignorant of the benefits of being a cultivator like he had been earlier, Duncan would have been content with his lot in his life. But, having experienced a tiny amount of that world, Duncan began to yearn to truly become a cultivator.

Alas! The old man had been truly petty when he gave Duncan a glimpse of the cultivation world. He left Duncan salivating at the door steps as he watched others feast inside the hall.
