Chapter 35: Do not be embarrassed, reply to me loudly! (2/2)

“Yo, this young man has a great future.” North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner laughed out loud: “The last question, in your dreams, have you dreamt of gra.s.slands?”

“What?” Song Shuhang was unable to keep up with North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner’s rhythm of changing topics. Previously he was still asking if I’m a virgin, in the next moment he asked about dreams and gra.s.slands, what does this have to do with having taken the Body Tempering Liquid?

“You see? If I really turn tactful, you aren’t able to understand, right? It’s better if I give it to you straight, have you been having wet dreams? You’re no longer young, you’re at the appropriate age for this aren’t you?” North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner was actually still playing crude jokes.

“……” Song Shuhang truly didn’t want to answer this question, but he still summoned up the courage to reply, “Alright, I don’t think I’ve experienced a dream of gra.s.slands. However, my body is definitely healthy, I’m also only eighteen, having that whatever from sometime between sixteen to twenty is normal. Even if I have it a little later it won’t be a problem!”

“What are you dragging on and on about? I didn’t say your body isn’t healthy.” North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner said, “All I wanted to say is, as I expected, you have yet to discharge your original Yang, and still have a pure and untainted body. Therefore, even if you hadn’t engaged in physical activity for over a year, by relying on your pure and untainted body, you managed to overcome it. You should be glad that you hadn’t learnt from King Kong before, and didn’t discharge your original Yang. Otherwise, your rash action of swallowing the Body Tempering Liquid might have caused your body to explode and then, death. It’s a real exploding body, blood will pour out of the body, and ‘bang’ the body will explode open y’know!” North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner laughed as he said.

All Song Shuhang felt at this time was that he really wanted to strangle North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner.

“Geez.” Copper Trigram’s Immortal Master popped out, and deeply sighed, “Actually, little friend Shuhang, although I find it very interesting to watch this fella North River lead you by the nose to reveal all kinds of embarra.s.sing things, I cannot help but to advise you something.”

“Don’t you know that the chatting software has a function called private message?”

“……” Song Shuhang felt like crying very much.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

After that, Song Shuhang chatted in the group for a little longer, then bade farewell to the Seniors in the group and went offline.

At this time, Copper Trigram’s Immortal Master sent a private message to North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner, “North River, why did you recommend little friend Shuhang to cultivate in the way of loose cultivators? You and I are both began as loose cultivators, as to how difficult the path of cultivation is for loose cultivators, you should know this very well!”

He was fully aware of the difficulties of being a loose cultivator, so he couldn’t understand why North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner recommended Shuhang the way of loose cultivators. Isn’t it better if he directly recommended Shuhang to join one of the group member’s sect?

North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner sighed, “Of course, I cannot be more clear about it, being a loose cultivator is as difficult as going to heaven. If it were possible, I also wouldn’t want to recommend little friend Shuhang the way of loose cultivators.”

Copper Trigram’s Immortal Master creased his brows, “Then why did you still recommend it? In our group there are numerous sects. Besides, many daoist friends in the group possesses high standing in their sects, if they were to recommend him, it wouldn’t be difficult to find a suitable place for little friend Shuhang.”

“Because of his age.” North River’s Loose Pract.i.tioner explained, “Don’t forget Song Shuhang’s age. He is already eighteen, to ordinary people, this is still the starting point of life. But to us cultivators, it is already way past the optimal age for foundation building.”

In present day, the publicly accepted optimal age for foundation building is between four and five years old. At that age, the child’s muscles and bones are still soft, more importantly, that mouthful of Xiantian true qi from the fetus would still be there. Once the child succeeded at foundation building, they would be able to absorb this mouthful of Xiantian true qi, laying down a firm foundation for cultivation. With this mouthful of Xiantian true qi, before they hit the 3rd Stage, they practically won’t encounter any bottleneck!

But children of that age range have weak bodies, and their total amount of qi and blood aren’t enough. Therefore, even among the cream of the crop disciples chosen by sects, not every single person will be able to complete foundation building between four to five years old.

Four to five years was the best period for foundation building, while the maximum age cannot exceed eight years old.

Once one pa.s.ses eight years old, the Xiantian true qi brought out from the fetus would completely dissipate. Once this chance is missed, there will never be a chance to get it back again. Without this breath of Xiantian true qi, even if one builds one’s foundation, cultivation would be fraught with difficulties. The required amount of time and resources spent on every advancement would be fifty percent or more than those who completed their foundation building before eight.

And Song Shuhang being eighteen years old means exceeding eight by a whole ten years!
