Chapter 7 Part 3 Bodies, Boundaries, and Bonds
Seeing the change, Xiaomeng nodded inwardly the book truly suited her best.
People don't know how they die, nor how they live. Xue Nu never knew her practice would kill her; now she also didn't know how she survived anew. But she muddled through a metamorphosis her great path broadened.
Once they were familiar with qi circulation, Xiaomeng explained the dual cultivation principles in the book.
Ordinary methods focus on Yin-Yang as foundation men Yang, women Yin; Heaven Yang, Earth Yin; modeling celestial unions with seasonal cycles and lunar phases. Thunder, cold, heat all affect it. Emotions also alter results; one must bathe and calm the heart. They guard their essence and force the other to spend like bandits stealing.
If one refuses to spend but forces others to, one rises while the other falls absurd. The virtuous take a little, not harming the body, or give some back to avoid causing loss. The unvirtuous plunder wantonly injuring or even killing.
True qi practitioners disdain such methods; plundering gains less than their own practice. Thus dual cultivation is scorned. Even Daoists, though seeing Yin-Yang as the proper way, focus mainly on qi practice.
Donghuang's method is vastly different: others base on Yin-Yang; he bases on Five Elements. The human body's five elements, plus the two qi of Yin-Yang, make life. Donghuang held that humans don't contain innate Yin-Yang qi only Five Elements. The world is one, like Taiji; Yin-Yang transforms, giving birth to all things. The soul is Heaven, the body Earth humans are also Yin-Yang. But men are more Yang, women more Yin.
Donghuang believed that since Yin-Yang created all, they have separated; men have no innate Yin, women no innate Yang born incomplete, thus mortal. Trees are wood, lacking fire, metal, water; rocks only earth. Humans surpass all because the body has all Five Elements and one Yin-Yang qi; other things have only one or a few, so all die while Heaven and Earth endure.
Humans get Five Elements but not both Yin and Yang; thus incomplete and mortal. Humans must complement through male and female to complete Yin-Yang to gain longevity.
Thus dual cultivation starts with Five Elements five organs and a single qi through the six bowels; men gain Yang, women Yin; strong organs strengthen Yin-Yang. The method harmonizes Five Elements and marries the two qi, returning to Wuji the foundation of longevity.
However, human Yin-Yang qi is artificial and mixed unable to match Heaven's. One must purify one's qi to approximate Heaven's natural qi. Hence the book teaches mutual aid complement and benefit.
Donghuang hypothesized that the Yellow Emperor's ascension via 3,000 women used precisely this: cultivating with many, choosing the strong to dual cultivate, and finally with the Mysterious Lady to break through.
Today this is impractical; qi cultivation is mainstream. Having a profound dual art matters little next to modern qi practice hence Donghuang shelved it.
But Xue Nu's unique constitution and mutated "Spring Water" technique allowed her to accumulate pure Yin; she needed only to couple with a high-level partner to receive endless essence and even nourish the partner in return.
Xiaomeng unpacked the book's arguments, cross-verifying with Daoist Yin-Yang to highlight differences. Identical terms, different meanings Donghuang used Daoist vocabulary, but his understanding of Dao was distinct.
With her deep realm, Xiaomeng could comprehend and translate the teachings into words they could grasp.
Xiaomeng lectured; they listened. The short text took four to five hours to explain. Gao and Xue finally gained a preliminary grasp, just enough to practice.
Ordinary dual cultivation urges cherishing oneself, minimal spending, or simultaneous spending; Donghuang's method ignores this spend if you like, as much as you like. The body is a pool; draining stale water lets fresh flow in. Spending is the process of renewal.
Ordinary dual cultivation refines the other's essence; Donghuang's does not. During union, Yin-Yang naturally resonates; the generated essence nourishes oneself directly. The later ejaculate is waste; refining it harms more than helps the body already purifies by releasing the old and taking in the new.
The book also warns against indulgence the human pool is finite, unlike infinite Heaven and Earth. Excessive consumption dries the pool. With deeper cultivation, the pool doesn't grow larger but improves in quality and endurance different from mainstream theories of unlimited potential.
Afterward, Xiaomeng told them to go and internalize; she'd answer questions the next day.
Time was only three days. Tomorrow she must instruct specific practice how Yin-Yang resonates, how to breathe and move qi, what positions and intensities to use in union. Donghuang's book included a general outline for qi practice, twelve resonance methods, twenty-four breathing methods, thirty-six coupling positions, nine techniques, and six categories of arts mix-and-match for endless combinations.
The next day, Xiaomeng explained concrete methods. Yin-Yang dual cultivation requires literal practice. Though a profound Daoist and virgin, she remained composed her breath-control superb leaving them silently admiring her as a true Daoist master.
"The purpose of resonance is to mobilize the body's five qi, balance the Five Elements, and purify Yin-Yang mutual assistance. There is internal and external practice; I'll teach internal first."
"Internal practice adjusts breathing, moves qi through the five organs and the meridians…" She explained internal work, which was not for cultivating qi but for priming the body for union: the man's organ should be angry, large, firm, and hot; the woman should be wet, open, tight, lusty, and slick. Only when both are ready should they proceed.
Following her instruction, Gao soon stood erect, and Xue Nu's blood rose, her pussy itching within.
Once they were familiar with internal work, Xiaomeng taught external practice, which requires mutual assistance.
Xiaomeng sealed all Xue Nu's internal power and said, "External practice uses one's Yin-Yang to stir the other's; one side leads to tune the other's state. You will use her to practice."
"I've sealed her meridians do as I taught to stimulate her five qi; if you err, I'll correct you."
Seeing Xue Nu's shyness, Gao hesitated. He had never overstepped with her now he dared not undress her.
"What are you dawdling for? Go," Xiaomeng scolded. "Martial cultivation demands focus. What are you imagining?"
