21 Dual Cultivation

After hearing Danny's words, Emma tried to concentrate her profound Ki strength into her hands. Immediately, her heart once again skipped a beat. That was because compared to before, the profound strength flowing into her hands was unobstructed by a large margin. Its speed was also faster by twenty or thirty percent.

Seeing Emma's reaction, Danny nodded in satisfaction: "Don't you feel that it's much less congested and faster than before? If we release the rest of the cold air in your body and clear your meridians, you'll have the same body temperature as a normal person's when not practicing the Joyful Flower Arts. None of the negative side effects will manifest and the speed at which you can use your profound strength will increase by at least half. Not only that, from now on, the speed at which you cultivate the Joyful Flower Arts will increase by at least thirty percent. also this is my bargaining chip."

As Danny spoke, he already started cleaning up the things that he had brought from the infirmary.

"Did you just say… that the speed at which I cultivate the Joyful Palace Arts will increase by thirty percent?" Emma suddenly turned her head. Danny's statement absolutely shocked her, so much so that she wanted to believe him, yet couldn't bring herself to do so.

A pill that would allow a person to, for one or two years, advance ten or twenty percent faster would be, without contest, classified as a rare treasure; so much that it would cause a huge scramble that would give rise to a battlefield drenched in bloody rain. Yet the meaning of Danny's words… was actually a permanent increase of thirty percent!!

This was far more than astonishing! If there was something, or some condition, that allowed a person's cultivation speed to permanently increase as much as thirty percent, Emma believed without a doubt that all of the world's heroes would flock out to obtain it with all their power.

"Yes." Danny nodded.

Danny's "believe it or not" attitude caused Emma to believe in him some more. That, coupled with the effects of his treatment that she had personally experienced, meant that she was unable to question much when faced with the astonishing things that he humbly said afterwards. This feeling surprised even herself. The huge Joyful Flower Palace had been in existence on Black Water Empire for thousands of years, but had never heard of the existence of a method with this kind of shocking result. In this small Floating Stone City, a youth of only sixteen years age with a deformed profound ki vein could unexpectedly could say this confidently… and also had her unable to stop herself from faintly believing in him.

"If it really has the effect that you claim… then you got yourself a good hand" Emma Said.

" I know right." said Danny

Emma spoke: " These things, where did you learn them from? From your Massage technique just now, you definitely have the qualifications to join those huge medical schools! If you really have the ability to do what you just said, then not to mention this small Floating Stone City, all of Black Water Empire would know your name. How could you remain unknown, and instead have this reputation as a cripple?"

Join those medical schools? Danny curled his lips in disdain. He then turned around and serenely stated: "These things were all taught to me by my master."

"Your… master?"Emma's moon like brows twitched. She had never heard of Danny having any kind of master.

"My master was a Blasphemous Mad Chemist. His entire life was spent using his knowledge perusing his heavens defying Dreams and while following his dreams he also saved countless dying and injured people. I met him when I was very young. He taught me the ways of medical diagnosis, how to use the Massage, and the principles of pharmacology and toxicology. He taught me that under heaven, there was a countless number of medicines and poisons, pests and herbs. I am his only successor. His kindness to me was as heavy as a mountain, impossible to repay in this lifetime… That is why I know some medical techniques. As for the rest, you shouldn't ask too much. Also, don't tell any outsiders that I practice medicine. Even my grandfather and little Cousin are unaware. Aside from myself, you're the only other person who knows."

As he thought about how he died in the end, Danny could not stop his face from showing a sad and nostalgic expression. This was his most sincere emotion, without a shred of falsehood or artifice. This sincere emotion also affected Emma.

"He was the world's greatest doctor, without peer!" Danny firmly said.

Danny's appearance caused Emma's inner doubt to unconsciously lessen by a bit.

" here take this " said Emma as she passed a manual which appeared out of thin air in her hands.

" what's this ….. Joyful Lotus Dual cultivation scripture! You got to be kidding me " Shouted Danny as he did not know how Dual cultivation will help repairing his broken Profound Ki Veins.

" don't get ahead of yourself, this is a antiquity scripture used by old Gods and one of the heirloom treasure of Joyful Flower Palace not some vulgar third rated dual cultivation manual" chilled Emma.

"Does this use dual cultivation?"

"yes"

"then I don't see any difference" said Danny Casually

" you idiot this Scripture is based on principle's of God Ki Strength . Since your profound Ki Veins Can't be repaired by normal means we can use the God ki gained by this Scripture to reform you Profound Ki Veins."said Emma

"wait are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting" said Danny Gulping saliva.

"yes, you are right. You and I will be practicing this scripture " said Emma

"wait, what do you get out of this . from the way you are saying it it seems life I am the one reaping all the benefits"said Danny with his eyebrows raised

"do you know how many lesser Stages are in a Profound Ki Realm" questioned Emma

"duh! 9 lesser Stages in every Profound Ki Realm" answered Danny

"wrong! There are 13 lesser Stages in every Profound Ki Realm. But not everybody can achieve above 9th stage and chose to break into next Realm. During the great civilizations of antiquity there were people with special physic, bloodlines and cultivation methods which allowed them to achieve higher than 9th stage in a Profound Ki Realm. All these physic, bloodlines and methods are lost in time, until I found this Joyful Lotus Dual cultivation scripture in the Joyful Flower Palace Treasury" explained Emma.

"wow! You should be high up in Joyful Flower Palace if you are allowed in its treasury."

"you have no idea"

"something doesn't set right, why me I think you can reap more benefits with some one with working Profound Ki Veins. Unless there is a catch!"what Danny said was right one can reap more benefits when their partner has higher talent and cultivation.

" the rumor about you are really wrong , you are totally different from what they suggest. also you are right i can choose some one with more talent and cultivation but i choose you because of the Bloodline in your body. so don't sell your self short." said Emma

" Bloodline what Bloodline Radd Clan doesn't have any bloodlines, not that i know off. "said Danny

" yes your Radd clan Doesn't have any bloodline, what i am talking about is the bloodline you inherited from your mothers side"

" mother side really, i really don't know much about my mother's family all i know is that my father and mother meet during one of my fathers adventures. how come you know about it " asked Danny

"somethings are better unsaid all you need to know is that your mother hailed from Dragon clan and had very pure Antiquity Dragon bloodline, which you have inherited from her."explained Emma

"Dragon clan ... Antiquity Dragon Bloodline...." hearing that his mother belonged to Dragon clan a bomb went off in Danny's mind. what kind of existences is Dragon clan and to think that his mother's background carried such huge secret " but i don't feel any bloodline strength in my body "

if there is any Bloodline in Danny's body then the Xtermas virus would have already found it.

" the bloodline is dormant, to awaken it you will have to go through the awakening ceremony at Antiquity Dragon temple. so you are unable to feel the Bloodline strength."explained Emma

it was normal for a bloodline to be dormant it help's the clans to limit their bloodline to be within the clan and not spread outside of clan.

"so, whats the point of all this if i can't awaken my bloodline"said Danny

" who said there is only one way to awaken your bloodline. here take this " out of thin air a 6 inch long bone fragment appeared in Emma's Hand as she passed it to Danny " this is a bone fragment of a Antiquity Dragon i borrowed it from the joyful Flower Palace Mistress for awakening your bloodline. with this you will have to let the Antiquity Dragon Bloodline in your body to communicate with the Antiquity Dragon in the heaven to awaken your bloodline, it isn't going to be easy"

when Danny Took the bone he felt a sense of connection with the bone this connection came with his blood, verifying Emma's Claim.

" i still don't get it seeing how Joyful Flower Palace values you, with the connection they have they can easily get some one with same or better bloodline then me to help you. i don't think anyone will mind to preform Dual cultivation with you added the benefit of breaking through 9th stage, i don't see why would you want me."asked Danny

"you are right there are many better choices then you but none as desperate and weak as you. Do you know what God Ki is , it is the Profound Ki Strength of Belief and Faith which a God Receives from his believers. this Profound Ki Strength of Belief and Faith is something even Gods are afraid to use, even though it contains heaven shocking strength, because Profound Ki Strength of Belief and Faith is contaminated by the Cause and Effects of the believers it was derived from. this cause and effect is enough to cause the death of a God. So now you understand why i choose you." said Emma

" oh i understand alright, while promising to reform my Profound Ki veins you want to use me as your meat shield who would take all the burnt of the cause and effect of the Profound Ki Strength of Belief and Faith while you use the pure uncontaminated Profound Ki Strength of Belief and Faith to breakthrough higher than 9th stage. you can't use others because you are afraid of their background while i am thrash with no backing. " said Danny

" yes you are right, with my way you have a chance to reform your Profound Ki Veins we both know there is no other way not that we know off otherwise you wouldn't come to bargain with me. all that matters is how desperate are you and how far you are willing to reform your deformed Profound Ki Veins. " replied Emma with a Straight face and asked "about the Joyful Lotus Dual Cultivation take your time until than you can use the Antiquity Dragon bone to awaken your bloodline in return you completely treat me and awaken all my mandarins. Deal?"

" alright " even though Danny wasn't happy with Emma's Straight forwardness he couldn't do a thing about it as beggars can't be choosers and from what he gathered about Emma these days Emma clearly was girl seeking to climb to higher heights of profound Ki strength, if not, she wouldn't have joined Joyful Flower Palace without care about the consequences of using ones emotion and passion for own cultivation .
