Chapter 122: Temptation
The Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method is primarily divided into three stages.
The first stage is the Hundred Days Foundation Building, where "hundred days" from beginning to end aren’t important; what’s crucial are the last two characters—Foundation Building.
It took Leon almost half a year, and he was honored to have successfully completed the Foundation Establishment.
Waking up from his sleep, Leon’s entire focus was on the second phase of the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method, which is to prevent leakage and solidify essence.
Leon didn’t know the real definition of preventing leakage and solidifying essence, but the Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method he mastered had a different explanation, emphasizing the latter character, which means solidifying essence, or in other words, endurance. Endurance instead of indulgence, focused on cultivation, not succumbing to desires.
Indeed, the method he mastered was indeed a dual cultivation method, but primarily it was a method of collective cultivation that complemented the strengths and weaknesses between men and women, not rolling around in bed, turning over and over, indulging in it all day. The latter is entirely a deviant practice, though for a Red Dragon, deviant practices are really nothing.
Building foundation is laying the groundwork, necessarily consuming a substantial amount of time.
The key to preventing leakage and solidifying essence lies in endurance, and endurance depends on one’s temperament; some naturally have good endurance, others no matter how hard they try, can’t manage it. It’s like many people incessantly talk about losing weight, but can’t control their mouths, and can never reduce their body weight, and even if they do, it quickly rebounds, not realizing that the key to losing weight is changing lifestyle habits.
As long as one learns endurance, then one has mastered the stage of preventing leakage and solidifying essence, and can move on to the last phase of Inner Core Dual Cultivation Method.
It must be mentioned that Golden Finger only teaches Spells, only teaches you how to breathe in nature’s spiritual energy, how to absorb the Sun and Moon Essence, not caring whether you can persist or not. If you’re lazy, then not having any gains in the end is your own fault, learning to be diligent is your own responsibility.
As the saying goes, there are many ways to achieve the same goal, Leon must learn endurance by himself, poor him, he has no clue how to begin learning endurance. He only knows that the nature of Red Dragons is indulgence, chaotic and evil Red Dragons are never restricted by anything, doing whatever they desire.
