C5. Dual Cultivation System

He looked into her Crimson eyes that were gazing at him worriedly for an answer.

"Meng Long, the one you know is no longer here. I have been transferred into his body by God's decision and merged with his soul. I'm not the person you knew once. I carry his memories but I also have mine from my old life." Meng Long said in a serious tone and started explaining to her his story.

He told her how he lived on earth and how he was kidnapped by a goddess. Meng long even told her about his mission to fight the XiéLóng Temple.

"So old Meng Long's soul merged with me but he will remain dormant while this stranger will be one living as him." He tried to convince her as simply as possible but it was still hard to understand.

Xue Rou's face played so many expressions in the span of time that was spent in listening to the story.

Her face looked at first as if she thought he was joking but the ongoing story and detailing caused Xue Rou to start believing him.

She had bitterness for him one second but the next second kindness enveloped her. Her face was painted with mixed emotions which were causing her serene heart to become tangled.

"So my Meng Long is still in your body?" She asked with a puzzled face.

He nodded and said, "Yeah, but I'll never be the one you know. So now you understand why you shouldn't be bothered with me? Don't waste your time with this stranger."

'He said their souls merged… doesn't that mean he is still my Meng Long.

She was deep in contemplation after hearing his story but the chaos caused by the revelation of the secret made her feel agitated.

'Ah…I need to calm myself and think carefully.'

She clenched her fist and left the room while a storm was raging inside her.

"As expected, telling the truth was the best choice." He mumbled inwardly.

Meng Long was all alone now so his eyes moved toward the text on the floating screen in front of his eyes.

'Did I get a System as heaven's blessing to assist her?'

He had read about Systems in web novels on earth but Meng long never imagined that he would get one when he transmigrated (or better say transported) to this world.

He selected 'Profile' with a thought as if he knew this would work this way.

<Profile>

[Name: Meng Long]

[Age: 18]

[Physique: Supreme Yang Body]

[Bloodline: N/A]

[Element: N/A]

[Spirit: N/A]

[Cultivation Art: None]

[Spirit Energy Rank: 1]

[Balance: 0]

'Why do I have no spirit or any elements? This is worse than I expected. Ahh…what is this…'

He looked through his profile and his eyes widened when he noticed it.

A bright smile bloomed on Meng Long's face.

"Supreme Yang body?... It can't be…There are legends that it's a higher tier physique than the Ancient Yang body but it requires you to absorb Yin from a woman to cultivate." He mumbled.

He put his hand on his jaw and continued, "Now it makes sense why my predecessor failed to advance to the next spirit energy rank. If he cultivated he would've overflowed with Yang energy which could explode his body.

This Meng Clan was so blind that they didn't even care about this trove of treasure underneath their nose. What a bunch of idiots.

Meng long would've found out about his ability naturally on the first night with his wife since Supreme Yang body would've absorbed Yin energy from the woman and benefited both parties in their Cultivation advancement."

He felt bad for their ignorance to neglect the living treasure trove that could've been used to recruit many powerhouses.

The young misses of many Clans would've dived happily to marry Meng long just because of his Supreme Yang body. Who wouldn't want to reach the peak of Cultivation by just lovemaking?

'Let's check other options.'

He opened the 'Shop' window.

"Ah…is this scam or real? Would I really be able to Awaken a Random Spirit or my Hidden Bloodline? It wasn't this easy in my first life here. Let's try it out." He looked at the shop excitedly and proceeded to 'buy'.

*Ding!*

[Insufficient Balance. The task can not be executed.]

'Ahhh… I forgot about the price tag. But how can I get coins to buy?'

He scrolled to the first menu and checked 'Quest.'

'So finishing these missions would give me coins but where to find this hidden instance?'

​ As if the system was listening to his thoughts a notification popped up in front of him.

[Does the user want to be transported to the hidden instance now?]

[Y/N]

"What are my chances of survival if I go now?" He asked with some hope.

[User will die horribly. Bringing the Human named Xue Rou along for assistance will increase your chances of success to 99%.]

"Such an evil tongue. Can't you be a little nicer with your words?" He felt annoyed when the system said he would die in a bad way if he went alone.

'So I need her help if I wanna pass this instance successfully but I already cut the last thread of connection between us by revealing my secrets. How would I make her help me now? Okay, never mind.

Let's meet the old man first and bid him farewell. I also need to find Bing'er if I want to Dual cultivate. I don't know where she is'

As he was walking out of the room his eyes fell on the mirror that was placed on the wall.

A black-haired young boy appeared in the mirror. His white and flawless jade-like fair skin gave him a refined and gracious look. He was taller than many men he had met in his two lives.

Under his sword-like eyebrows, the sharpness of his azure eyes, tempered by countless hardships along with his domineering and indistinct noble aura appeared as if he transmigrated with them to this body.

'She was right, this Meng Long looks as if he is my twin.'

He praised himself and left the room before closing the door.

Meng Long followed the path to go to the patriarch study hall. He didn't knock on the door and entered the room without permission

His father was busy with some work as there were piles of papers scattered on the table.

What can be expected from a clan master who had many responsibilities on his old bones?

Meng Chan heard the sudden footsteps coming his way and invading his privacy without permission.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw his trash son enter the room without asking.
