Chapter 1157 - 633: Holding On to the Last Straw (Double-Length, Part 2)
During the menstrual cycle, the symptoms mostly include lower back and leg pain, dizziness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and nausea... When her Gui Water arrives, not to mention thinking about cultivation, she can’t even work or handle accounts due to dizziness and blurred vision.
Some girls are cold-natured and can be in excruciating pain.
In this world’s mundane society, Gui Water is considered a symbol of impurity, something not good, not only disliked by women but also by men...
It’s really not a good thing.
If it’s absent, it’s just absent.
"Hey, hey, hey, what’s the meaning of that, you girl?" Zhu Pingniang squeezed Miss Lu’s thigh: "Even though I said it until my mouth was dry, you didn’t believe me and thought I was joking... Yet after one casual remark from Ah Li, you believe it?"
"Ms. Zhu, perhaps you should reflect on yourself, maybe you... joke around too much?" Miss Lu seriously countered.
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
She deflated.
With no confidence, she could only turn her focus back to Wen Li.
"Ah Li, please continue."
"Wen Immortal... Senior Wen." Miss Lu stopped mid-sentence, changing her words upon meeting Wen Li’s gaze, and upon hearing the term ’Senior Sister,’ Wen Li’s demeanor seemed to soften significantly, waiting quietly for her inquiry.
"Since Gui Water is related to cultivation, then... Miss Yun won’t be affected, right? It won’t delay her cultivation?" Miss Lu was quite concerned.
"...It won’t." Wen Li looked at Yun Qian, and in her somewhat puzzled gaze, gently took Yun Qian’s hand, channeling a touch of spiritual power into her, while slowly restoring her strength and gradually infiltrating the spiritual energy threads towards Yun Qian’s elixir field in the lower abdomen.
As expected, as before... Before getting close, it seemed to encounter a bottomless pit, being absorbed and disappearing directly from the world.
The same happened with her spiritual energy threads, so it was the same for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; this was the reason Yun Qian couldn’t cultivate.
Wen Li felt that Yun Qian’s absence of Gui Water, is highly likely related to this anomaly.
However, she still believed this anomaly would not hinder Yun Qian’s cultivation.
"Cultivation is the introduction of spiritual qi into the body, when a girl’s Gui Water arrives, the body’s spiritual gate opens widely, allowing better absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for nourishment. So, in the early stage of cultivation, practicing during the time Gui Water arrives can yield twice the results with half the effort." Wen Li explained simply, then added: "Ms. Yun is just in the Open Source Realm and hasn’t reached the point to utilize Celestial Gui Spiritual Power yet, she needs to advance another small realm to use it. Next... as long as this issue is resolved before then, it won’t be a problem."
After speaking, Wen Li looked at Zhu Pingniang and, seeing the latter nod, she also followed suit and nodded.
"For the Heavenly Gui Spiritual Power of my junior sister, Wen Li, Master Li and Master Zhu are here to solve it, so there’s no problem." Wen Li spoke softly, her words not only for Miss Lu but also for Yun Qian, reassuring both.
Yun Qian wasn’t concerned.
She was just contemplating...
Does being able to use the mystical powers of Gui Water for cultivation imply she has the qualification to give her husband a daughter?
She still didn’t know.
But efforts must be made.
Thus, Miss Yun would definitely strive to find a way to have a child at that time.
"Some understanding now." Miss Lu nodded, mimicking Wen Li’s gesture, lightly holding Zhu Pingniang’s hand, murmuring: "Really...really quite strange."
Initially, Zhu Pingniang wanted to make a joke, but when she felt the slight dampness in Miss Lu’s palm and her subtly trembling fingers, she paused, retracting the joke slowly, and then gently clasped Miss Lu’s hand, intertwining fingers to provide comfort before asking:
"Ni Zi, what’s wrong? Feeling it’s unfair?"
"Not exactly unfair." Miss Lu sighed: "For girls because of Gui Water, how much suffering have they gone through... your sister’s eyes have seen, Little Zhou from the Three Houses was driven out for bringing bad luck ahead of time due to Gui Water. If it weren’t for meeting you... I don’t know where she would’ve died by now, and Xin’Er, she was cold-natured in her youth, and during that month when Gui Water arrived, if the medical family doctor wasn’t closely watching her, fearing she might die from the pain..."
"Even then, every month she uses musk and safflower; though it stops the pain, she definitely won’t be able to have children in the future."
Miss Lu’s eyes showed some depression.
Such things, for the girls, are not a lucky charm, but a curse.
A true disaster.
But now, it turns out to be beneficial in the Cultivation Realm... She can’t accept this, and those girls probably won’t accept it either.
"..." Wen Li listened without speaking.
These are things she does not understand.
"I understand your thoughts." Zhu Pingniang smiled: "There’s a feeling... of being toyed with by fate? Isn’t it rather ironic? But it really is a good thing; when it comes to cultivation... having an extra spiritual road is something men wish for but cannot obtain."
Otherwise, why are those who stand at the pinnacle of this world all women?
It’s not like the Heavenly Dao prefers women.
So...
"Even though the monthly Gui Water can be inconvenient, as long as the cultivation realm requires using body meridians as a medium to absorb spiritual qi, the enhancement from the open spirit road brought by Gui Water is completely beneficial." Zhu Pingniang gently grasped Miss Lu’s fingers.
"In the future, you too will have to rely on the speed of Gui Water in cultivation to outshine those men."
"...Tch, listening to this feels strange, really uncomfortable." Miss Lu sighed.
In the end, Gui Water, which in the mundane world, is completely useless beyond trouble and pain for women, turns out to be useful in Immortal Sect.
Hence, female cultivators try to avoid interrupting the spiritual road and even strive to extend the years of Gui Water, keeping the physical condition between twenty to thirty years old, and looking back under these circumstances, it’s found... Female cultivators in the Cultivation Realm, even after hundreds of years, none like an old hag, all preserved at the most charming age of women.
This is not just for aesthetics but is a habit set during youth for cultivation.
For instance, Beauty Fruit was initially intended for those of lower realms who couldn’t control their physique, ensuring they maintain their age.
"I know you dislike Gui Water, but you also need to learn acceptance. After opening the source, mastering the secrets of the lower elixir field, chronic diseases disappear, the body feels light, heart steady, spirit quiet, qi calms." Zhu Pingniang shook her head: "Generally, upon entering the Open Source Realm, no common disease is suffered anymore, and the body gradually transitions from Acquired Turbid Body to Innate, when Gui Water arrives, the spirit road opens, it’s a shortcut in cultivation compared to men."
When Gui Water arrives, the body’s spiritual gate opens widely, allowing better absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the body. In early cultivation, practicing during the time Gui Water arrives can yield twice the results with half the effort.
Every month in the mundane world, women experience Gui Water. After entering cultivation, they have an enhanced talent due to Gui Water.
Irrespective of fairness, Master Li Zhibai also believes that women are more favored by the Heavenly Dao on the cultivation path.
Perhaps because of this reason, there are more accomplished women in the Cultivation Realm.
Like herself, Li Zhibai... even the Sect Leader is like this.
Zhu Pingniang, holding Miss Lu’s hand, asked her: "This is Heaven’s favor; thinking like this, does it make you feel somewhat better?"
"Heaven’s favor?" Miss Lu, hearing this, directly laughed: "Ms. Zhu, tell me... Are there more suffering girls in the mundane world, or more carefree women in the Immortal Sect...?"
"..." Zhu Pingniang had nothing to say.
"So, what kind of favor is this... I’d say it’s compensation; it’s truly compensation for the girls." Miss Lu spat, and for once, this usually cautious person muttered against the Heavenly Dao.
