As Mu Xi and Chu Fan practiced together, they seemed unaffected by the events of the day. Instead, their practice progressed more smoothly. Their internal energy circulated back and forth, their auras becoming increasingly peaceful, as if they had reached a state of harmony.
In fact, this was because Chu Fan's originally closed heart began to gradually open up after experiencing the events of the day. Chu Fan began to formally accept the existence of Mu Xi and others from the bottom of his heart. This acceptance made their cultivation more tacit and the flow of internal energy more smooth.
Liu Ruyan was very surprised to see this scene. She had never seen such a unique training method before, and she couldn't help but feel eager to try it.
Even though this kind of training would make her and Chu Fan share a bed, it was nothing serious. She even thought that if she could figure out the secret of Chu Fan's training method, it would be of great help to her own training.
Mu Xi and Chu Fan's practice was not only a physical exercise, but also a spiritual exchange. Through the exchange of inner strength, they established a deeper trust and understanding between them. This practice also elevated their mental state, as if their minds were actually communicating during the practice.
Chu Fan's openness brought his and Mu Xi's rapport to a new level. Their seamless coordination seemed to have reached a state of telepathic connection. This tacit understanding in cultivation made the flow of their internal energy more natural, and the results of their practice more pronounced.
Liu Ruyan observed from the side, her heart filled with curiosity and yearning. She began to wonder if she could improve her own cultivation through similar training methods.
After Changsun Pinqing, Qiuya and other women had practiced, Liu Ruyan finally couldn't contain her curiosity and quietly asked Chu Fan, "Can I practice your mental skills?"
Although Chu Fan was a little surprised by Liu Ruyan's request, he nodded and signaled Qiu Ya to pass on the secret method to Liu Ruyan.
Although Qiu Ya was unhappy, she had to follow Chu Fan's instructions and pass on the secret formulas to Liu Ruyan one by one. The more Liu Ruyan listened, the more shocked she became. She realized that the skills Chu Fan possessed were so extraordinary.
After Liu Ruyan finished listening to all the mantras of the mental method, she took off her coat and sat on Chu Fan's bed as per the local custom.
When their hands clasped together, Liu Ruyan's body trembled. Despite this, she didn't think twice before beginning to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. At this moment, Chu Fan could clearly sense that practicing with Liu Ruyan wasn't as smooth as with Mu Xi and other women; his breathing was a bit jerky.
Liu Ruyan also felt the flow of internal energy between herself and Chu Fan, and it wasn't as tacitly aligned as it was with Mu Xi and the other women. Suddenly, she thought of many possible reasons. After completing her training, Liu Ruyan said, "Chu Fan, you possess such a powerful technique, yet you're still worried that Mu Xi and the others will betray you? Are you kidding?"
Chu Fan was very confused by Liu Ruyan's words, but Mu Xi and other women seemed to have some guesses in their minds, but they did not say anything.
Chu Fan had just calmed down his internal energy when he heard Liu Ruyan's question. Chu Fan asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you say that?"
Liu Ruyan sighed softly, then began to explain in detail, "The practice of this technique requires the practitioner to reach a state of spiritual connection. If any strange thoughts arise in the mind during practice, the internal energy will become chaotic, and the practice will be ineffective. Didn't you feel the disharmony between our auras when we were practicing together just now?"
After hearing this, Chu Fan began to reflect seriously. He recalled that when he and Liu Ruyan practiced together, the flow of Qi between them was not as smooth and steady as when he practiced with Mu Xi and other women. Chu Fan began to believe Liu Ruyan's words, but he still hoped to hear her more specific analysis and explanation.
Chu Fan said, "That's nothing. It's a training method that requires coordination. It's possible that there might be some incoordination."
Liu Ruyan continued, "When one person's meridians connect with another, it's not just a transfer of internal energy, but also a spiritual connection. If there's a barrier in the heart, the internal energy won't flow smoothly, and the effectiveness of cultivation will naturally be greatly reduced."
"And after practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, everyone's inner strength has become so intertwined that even the slightest fluctuation in each other's thoughts can be sensed. So, you, the wise emperor, who wrote this technique yourself, don't you understand the mystery within?"
Chu Fan just smiled awkwardly. After all, this was just the reward he got for signing in to the system. As for the specific effects of the technique, Chu Fan was not particularly clear.
Chu Fan attempted to activate his internal energy and discovered that it indeed contained the aura of Mu Xi and the others. He could also sense the bonds of internal energy connecting him and Mu Xi and the other women, as if they were connected by souls. While the bonds with Mu Xi and the others were very strong, the bond between him and Liu Ruyan was still very tenuous.
Chu Fan coughed lightly, concealing his embarrassment and speaking slowly, "I really didn't know this technique had such an effect. If I had known, I wouldn't have had so many concerns."
Liu Ruyan smiled slightly, obviously not believing what Chu Fan said.
At this time, Mu Xi and the other girls also smiled with satisfaction. It was undoubtedly a good thing to see Chu Fan put aside his worries and completely accept them.
Qiu Ya then asked, "I wonder if our Miss Liu has any feelings for our Emperor?"
Liu Ruyan answered without hesitation: "I do have some affection for your Majesty. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra with your Majesty."
Liu Ruyan was telling the truth. Chu Fan's rise from an ordinary, unpopular man to a virtuous emperor made him far more attractive than those men who already came from prominent families. Furthermore, Chu Fan could create new martial arts secrets; such talent and potential would be hard to resist for a woman.
Qiu Ya hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to reveal her feelings so easily. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that our Majesty will have another beauty to serve him."
For a woman like Liu Ruyan, who was always reserved and proud, to express her feelings so frankly showed that she did have some genuine feelings for Chu Fan. Furthermore, the training session between Liu Ruyan and Chu Fan, while not entirely perfect, went smoothly, proving that Liu Ruyan was not completely indifferent to Chu Fan.
At this time, Liu Ruyan carefully felt the changes in her internal strength and found that her internal strength was purer than before. She knew that this was the result of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra with Chu Fan.
Liu Ruyan said to Chu Fan, "Our respected Majesty, you see so many beautiful women in your house, don't you want to do something?"
