Chapter 33 Who? Who is lusting after my body?
Chapter 33 Who? Who is lusting after my body?
"What glorious and challenging times must one endure to make this arduous journey worthwhile!"
When Li Ya changed the subject, Senior Brother Lingji jokingly said.
"Little Cliff, I know what a glorious scene you were in, but I also know that you were naked and powerless, just waiting to crawl back naked!"
Li Ya could only force a smile and say, "I'd be so grateful if Senior Brother Lingji could lend me a hand!"
Who would have thought that this medicinal liquid would be so potent, turning all the clothes on his body into shreds?
Plus, I was so weak that I couldn't get up, and it took me a while before my senior brother Lingji finally arrived.
"Brother Xiaoya, where did you get this cultivation method from? Don't ruin your perfectly good body!"
"No, no, Senior Brother Lingji, could you find me a piece of cloth to cover myself up?"
"What? What item needs to be hidden? Is it something I don't have?"
"No, my senior brother has some too." He sounded evasive, "I'm just afraid of scaring him!"
Lingji was momentarily stunned.
"No, that scared me! I'm afraid! Did I hear that right?"
After saying that, taking advantage of his inattention, she used her inner energy to lift him out of the bucket, and then, stiffening her body, she slowly put Li Ya back in.
"I'll go get a blanket!"
He walked along talking to himself, looking incredulous.
"How can there be such a learned young man? I'm already considered exceptionally gifted, but I wasn't this talented at seventeen!"
……
Most of the female servants on Weaver Girl Peak lived in the Xiu Nu Lou (Hall of Female Servants), but Qin Xinru was an exception.
Because her cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, although she has failed the sect's major examination many times, no one can guarantee that she will pass it next time.
So the manager of Weaver Girl Peak was willing to do a favor, since there were quite a few villas on Weaver Girl Peak, and gave Qin Xinru one to stay in.
In Caixia Villa, Qin Xinru sat restlessly in the courtyard, seemingly waiting for someone.
After a long while, a woman in red, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, pushed open the door and entered.
"Sister Yao, how are you?"
Before the guests had even sat down, Qin Xinru asked anxiously.
"May I have a cup of tea, Sister Xinru?"
"Alright, go ahead and drink it!"
Cui Yao poured herself some tea and drank two cups in a row. She shook her head, glanced at Qin Xinru's chest, which was far larger than her own, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Xinru, you're already at the fifth level of Qi Refining, what kind of man haven't you seen..."
"Alright! I may not have seen many men, but even if I haven't eaten pork, I've still seen pigs run, haven't I?"
"How come your soul was so easily bewitched by a mere virgin? Do you perhaps enjoy the idea of an old cow eating young grass?"
Hearing this, Qin Xinru's cheeks flushed red.
"Sister Yao, please don't make fun of me."
"You know what my secret is. Those old guys in my family wrote to me, asking me to go back and marry into the Lu clan of Danyang. He's a decrepit old man at the eighth level of Qi Refining. That old man only got his cultivation level by absorbing male essence. I don't want to be his cauldron."
"Now, thanks to the opening of the Fallen Dragon Valley, we have a chance to catch our breath."
Cui Yao once tried to persuade her to just leave.
Leaving is easy, but what will happen after you leave?
He lived a life of wandering and hardship, without family support, and struggled daily for the money needed to pursue his spiritual practice...
"As for Junior Brother Li Ya, I see that he is of superior appearance and talent, and he has great potential."
"When we first met, he stared at my breasts, but I didn't see the filthy look in his eyes that other men have; he just looked at me with pure admiration."
"We spent more than ten days together, and I deliberately tested him a few times. He always treated me with courtesy, which is much better than most men."
"Sigh! I know all that." Cui Yao stood up, touched her cheek, and then said:
"I must say, you have a really good eye, girl! You even spotted this golden carp in the pond!"
Qin Xinru's eyes lit up, and she immediately took Cui Yao's hand.
"real!"
Cui Yao nodded: "I heard you say that Li Ya and Xie Ling are closely related. He happens to be working in the herb field. I also have a deep friendship with the steward Xie Daoyun, so I went to inquire about it."
"It turns out that she and Li Ya are master and disciple, and Li Ya is also going to the Fallen Dragon Valley trip after the New Year."
"Xinru, this is a great opportunity. Young people his age are the easiest to leave an indelible mark on their hearts."
"Sister, please teach me quickly."
"I learned that he lost both his parents at a young age, and he must be feeling lonely. Those young girls are mostly innocent and naive, unaware of the harsh realities of life."
"Someone like you, who is a bit older and has seen the coldness and warmth of human relationships, can be more tolerant and understanding, and soothe the sadness of youth."
"In addition, your body is substantial, and your bones and flesh are perfectly integrated, warm and mature. This young man is most susceptible to this. With a slight move, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to capture him?"
As Qin Xinru listened, she looked at her own body and realized that being a burden wasn't really a burden after all.
"Try to show more care and concern on a regular basis, and create a romantic atmosphere when you're alone together..."
Watching
Her complexion grew increasingly rosy, and Cui Yao's smile became even more kind.
No one would have guessed that Cui Yao, the usually aloof and icy manager of Weaver Girl Peak, would be like this in private.
"You're just too soft-hearted. Otherwise, how could your family have such a way of controlling you? They support you, and you've given back in return. Those old guys in your family have got you figured out that."
Cui Yao was both angry and anxious as she spoke. This girl was good in every way except for her gentle nature, but cultivation cannot tolerate a gentle nature, so it's no wonder she was stuck and unable to break through.
The female cultivators who did odd jobs in the sect, in order to earn some money for cultivation, the better ones would juggle multiple relationships, having a large number of men support them.
Those less sophisticated ones have long been secretly engaged in prostitution, euphemistically calling it "tea tasting and philosophical discussions."
Li Ya only keeps a low profile in his daily life; if he were more flamboyant, a swarm of beautiful women would have already flocked to him.
"Sigh! You're always like this; when faced with a difficult question, you just stay silent!"
"Come here, let me teach you some more secret tricks..."
In an instant, the doors and windows closed, obscuring the details inside.
……
……
Only when he was able to move did Li Ya get dressed and come to the courtyard.
The moment his foot touched the ground, he immediately felt his body become much heavier, which meant his bones had become much larger. Once the White Bone Seal was completely imprinted and the gold and bone were fused together, the bone cleansing would be complete, and he could begin to work his tendons.
Brother Lingji seems to be at a critical juncture lately, as he's stopped brewing wine on snowy days.
"No wonder those aristocratic families, with their own traditions, still compete to send their children to sects with established lineages."
The hope is to produce someone who can rise above their station and achieve great success, except for those like the Li family of Yashan who are merely substitutes for others.
"If I succeed in my cultivation in the future, wouldn't I be able to establish a powerful Li family in all directions?"
After thinking about it, he quickly dismissed the idea. There were countless so-called Qi-cultivating families around Poyang Lake.
Most of them are just trying to make themselves look good, when in fact they are just from poor families.
According to Senior Brother Lingji, the Xie family had produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which elevated their social status, making them a noble family, while those below them were all from humble backgrounds.
Those who have produced a Purple Mansion True Person are considered prominent families, while those who have produced a Golden Elixir True Lord are considered powerful clans.
Only those from prominent families could be included in the Imperial Register of Names.
These prominent families are no less powerful than sects in terms of their own resources, unless their disciples are truly unsuitable for their own cultivation methods, in which case they will be sent to a sect.
Poor families and noble families would support one person to achieve enlightenment, hoping that if one person attained enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs would benefit.
During this time, Ling Shu has also been busy, and the method of protecting the heart and internal organs in "Dianxin Deng" has been completed.
He also obtained a sword fighting technique from his master, which he refined through the Ling Shu (a spiritual guide), and achieved results.
The method to protect the heart and internal organs is also simple: take a piece of clear water and ice marrow, because the water is cold and can protect the heart and internal organs from being burned by the fire.
But there's one downside: it's expensive.
"The high price isn't the problem with the product, it's my problem!"
There is another alternative method, which is for cultivators who are skilled in fire magic and possess spiritual flames.
Using his own spiritual flame, he ignited Li Ya's inner fire and restrained the dissipating fire energy. Once the inner fire was refined and stabilized, the "Heart Lamp" was completed.
However, among the trustworthy people around him, none practiced fire magic. Senior Brother Lingji practiced wood magic; yang wood generates yang fire, wouldn't that directly scorch his heart and internal organs?
As for her master, she gave this method with the intention of testing the examiner; no examinee would ask the examiner for help.
"Senior Sister Qin's use of spiritual flames is quite good; she also practices fire magic, which suits her well!"
"After spending time with him these past few days, he seems to be a decent person, but how to bring it up is the problem."
