Grass, a type of plant.

Women of the Human Domain are also out of the question.

The next day, in front of the tent, Wu Wang sat on a small stool on a slightly higher part of the slope, his hands tucked into his hair, his expression one of utter dejection.

He felt like he was being targeted!

This damned... adorable Heaven, it gave him a reasonably handsome appearance, outstanding cultivation talent, and the status of a Young Master of a major clan, yet it took away his right to contact the opposite sex!

Physical contact with women, even through clothing, as long as there was touch, would cause him to black out and lose all composure.

Self-named: [Maiden Contact Sleep Syndrome].

Wu Wang suddenly began to envy the male cultivator he had sent away.

Although that person's aptitude was a bit lacking, his perseverance was a bit lacking, he lacked responsibility, and his vision was quite shortsighted, making it difficult for him to achieve much in cultivation;

At least he was normal.

A bit of sunlight spilled down, and Wu Wang looked up at the light blue sky, his mouth twitching a few times.

He probably, possibly, maybe, vaguely knew where the problem lay.

What else happened when he was seven or eight years old?

When he started researching the Star Invocation Technique out of curiosity, and this strange illness appeared, his understanding of the Star Invocation Technique had just made a breakthrough, and he had sensed the origin of star power.

But why was this?

What was the specific principle?

Wu Wang had investigated for a long time without any results.

Besides, among the thousands of shamans in this clan who could go to battle, none of them had any issues. One of the star shamans had even had nine children and received the tribal honorific title of 'Vigor-Boosting Festival'.

When he began to suspect that the strange illness was caused by the Star Invocation Technique, he immediately went to his enlightenment teacher for the Star Invocation Technique, a big shot in the clan for the Star Invocation Technique—his own grandmother.

Of course, whether she was his relative or not wasn't important; what was important was that she was professional enough.

Furthermore, Wu Wang couldn't have contact with women, and his grandmother was the most anxious one; if they weren't careful, the clan leader's lineage of their Bear Hug Tribe would truly be cut off!

But they tried every method, exhausting more than ten of the most powerful shamans in the clan, yet they couldn't find the root or source of this strange illness. His grandmother could only attribute this strange illness to 'a blessing from the gods'.

The news that Wu Wang had contracted some strange illness was now being kept within a very small circle.

—For the stability of the tribe, the clan leader's successor could be mediocre, but absolutely not so peculiar.

But as Wu Wang grew older, all the unmarried young girls in the clan had prepared their 'sleep sticks', ready to offer a light touch to the Young Master's pre-marital life.

Wu Wang wasn't quite sure how long he could hide.

Moreover, he was a very traditional man and deeply respected the traditions of the clan. If it weren't for the strange illness, he wouldn't want to avoid such a traditional joy.

"Sigh~ Young Master~"

A sweet, girlish call came from a distance. Wu Wang looked in the direction of the sound, and his mood immediately improved a little.

Several girls wearing leopard-print skirts and leather tops, carrying basins of water, waved vigorously from below the gentle slope.

The sunlight was just right, and their healthy skin shimmered with a smooth luster. Their faces, generally 'beautiful' due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, were full of youthful vitality. Especially since they loved to ride wolves across the grasslands, most of them had slender legs and waists that showed off their mermaid lines...

Wu Wang was crying inside, he was crying!

However, he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, nodding slightly at the girls, eliciting a burst of happy cheers.

After the girls left.

"Alas."

Wu Wang sighed dejectedly and began to adjust his mindset.

There would always be a way.

Heaven never closes all doors. He had managed to live this life with great difficulty; if he couldn't even overcome this problem, what was the point of talking about smiling in the afterlife?

He had already started developing a solution, keeping his mind clear at all times!

A few bubbles appeared behind Wu Wang's head, revealing a not-too-complex mechanical structure within. It resembled a shampoo bed from his previous life. He could lie on it, and a wooden bucket suspended directly above would continuously pour ice water onto his face.

It's just that...

Maintaining an excited state under these circumstances truly required a period of arduous adaptive training.

Time waits for no one.

Although the lifespan of humans in the Great Wilderness world was longer, adulthood was only twenty years old.

The issue of procreation had to be resolved, not just for his own pursuit of pleasure, but also for the sake of this clan and tribe!

Yes, for the tribe!

"Young... Young Master?"

A faint call came from behind him. Wu Wang turned his head and looked. His eyes lit up.

When he rescued her yesterday, this female cultivator from the Human Domain was travel-worn and exhausted, and he hadn't paid much attention. After resting for a night and tidying herself up, she looked like a completely different person.

A jade hairpin placed horizontally in her coiled black hair, willow-leaf eyebrows framing eyes like autumn pools.

Her face held a natural gentleness, and her jade-like skin showed a faint blush. Her features were exquisite, her neck long, and from her forehead to her collarbone, there wasn't a single blemish. Her slender, slightly tall figure easily drew the eye.

She remembered yesterday's events. After seeing Wu Wang wake up, he had been dejected for a long time, and she couldn't help but move closer to see.

This Young Master is quite pitiful, so young and yet...

"Mm," Wu Wang responded, retracting his gaze from her and rummaging in the leather pouch at his waist. He pulled out a small folding stool and tossed it a safe distance away.

"Let's sit and chat."

"Okay," Lin Suqing agreed, gathering her skirt and closing her legs. She sat down on the small stool, feeling a little unaccustomed to it.

Wu Wang said, "You can also meditate."

"This is fine," Lin Suqing raised a hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Young Master, are you alright now?"

"Don't mention it."

"Mm, I won't," Lin Suqing blinked and asked in a low voice, "Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

Wu Wang didn't answer. He simply snapped his fingers, and two guards nearby brought over a lounge chair covered in precious furs and a large parasol made of sewn pelts.

Another guard brought a wooden bucket half-filled with water, in which seven or eight wine jars were submerged.

Wu Wang swirled his right middle finger in the bucket, and a layer of ice immediately floated to the surface.

Ah, life.

Just lying around, just messing about, ordinary sunshine, ordinary drunkenness.

"The wind direction is wrong?"

Wu Wang muttered. A guard beside him immediately bowed and ran off. From the distant grass, two figures in cloaks, holding crystal balls, emerged and began chanting a series of strange incantations.

Soon, a gentle breeze blew from the direction of the snow mountain, preventing the scorching sun on the prairie from unleashing its full power and bringing a hint of coolness to the hillside.

Lin Suqing: ...

"What's your name?" Wu Wang suddenly asked.

Lin Suqing quickly replied, "Suqing."

"How ordinary."

"This..."

"Your sect, how many years have you been cultivating, your age. Introduce yourself."

Wu Wang said calmly, "You will follow me for the next six years. I will give you corresponding compensation. What you need to do is not anything after taking off your clothes, but to help me verify some cultivation theories, and also to give me a detailed introduction to the Human Domain."

Lin Suqing pondered for a moment and said in a small voice:

"I began studying under Master True Man Zuo Dong at the Clear Wind Gazing Moon Sect when I was young, and I have been cultivating for over thirty years. Although our sect doesn't have many cultivators, we respect and help each other on the path to immortality."

Wu Wang nodded and summarized, "From an ordinary small sect, mediocre talent, currently in your forties."

Black lines instantly appeared on Lin Suqing's forehead. She quickly said, "As long as I reach the Core Formation Realm, I will have a lifespan of a thousand years. Being in my forties is merely, merely..."

Wu Wang showed a gentle smile, nodding with a smile, interspersed with "Mm," "Mm."

Lin Suqing pouted and silently turned her head away, trying to calm the throbbing veins on her forehead.

Damn it, why is he so infuriating!

"Oh, right," Wu Wang calmly added another jab. "Your junior brother and sister left overnight. They were lucky enough to catch a large ship from the Human Domain passing by.

Judging by your junior brother's appearance, if the ship had left any later, he could have carried it himself."

Lin Suqing's figure seemed to fall into shadow. Her left hand weakly lifted, then found no place to rest, and finally could only support her right arm.

"It's very funny, isn't it?"

She murmured to herself.

Wu Wang was about to say something comforting, after all, this was the 'family tutor' he would rely on in the future. But before he could speak, he heard Lin Suqing let out a cold laugh.

"Decades of cultivation with nothing to show for it, my junior brother, whom I've painstakingly taught for over a decade, has left me. My master is severely injured, and no one in the sect cares."

She looked up, tears in her eyes and her voice trembling with sobs:

"I'm really useless, aren't I?"

"This..."

"Being in my forties and still only at the Origin Return Mid-stage is useless, isn't it?"

"Mm..."

"Studying alchemy for over ten years and still blowing up the cauldron is useless, isn't it?"

"Not having as much spiritual energy as the newly initiated junior sister is useless, isn't it?"

"Carrying everything myself, not knowing how to act spoiled with my junior brother, making him feel restricted, is also useless, isn't it?"

"Waaah—I'm just an ordinary female cultivator who's useless, isn't that right!"

"Mom, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you and married someone in the mortal world. Why did I have to pursue immortality!"

Looking at the female cultivator covering her face and weeping, Wu Wang was also a bit flustered.

In the Human Domain, there are systematic cultivation methods. Cultivating immortality emphasizes a stable Dao heart, while cultivating demonic arts emphasizes pursuing one's true nature. How can this older sister's, no, this aunt's Dao heart be so fragile?

Wu Wang turned his head and looked around, finding a guard who looked relatively handsome and a bit younger. He said:

"Come over here, let her feel the spirit of a man, give her some comfort."

The guard immediately pursed his lips, frowned, his face turned pale, and he whispered:

"Young Master, no one wants her, and I'm married."

Lin Suqing's crying came to an abrupt halt. She tilted her head, and a wisp of white smoke drifted from the corner of her mouth, forming a small soul. She muttered things like, "I might as well sever my own heart's connection."

Wu Wang almost burst out laughing.

"You're actually quite good," Wu Wang said slowly. "There aren't that many geniuses in the world. Perhaps you are just in a phase of accumulation, building up for a breakthrough.

We are all ordinary people, just skilled in different areas.

For example, just now, when you walked out of the tent, you also made me stare, thinking you were quite beautiful."

Lin Suqing's lips trembled slightly: "Young Master..."

"Maintain your distance."

Wu Wang raised his hand in a rejecting gesture. "I'll take you to the grasslands this afternoon to relax and clear your mind. Tonight, I will help you formulate the curriculum for teaching me."

"Curriculum?"

"Mm," Wu Wang nodded seriously. "It could be cultivation methods, if your sect's rules don't restrict it.

It could also be music, clothing, etiquette, even the local customs and traditions you've seen and heard of, or gossip about the various cultivation sects in the Human Domain.

I need your knowledge and experience."

"Young Master, you want to go to the Human Domain?" Lin Suqing asked softly.

"Perhaps."

Wu Wang looked towards the horizon of the grasslands, his voice becoming more ethereal.

"For now, I am still the only Young Master here and need to be responsible for the tribesmen who trust me.

But if the time is right, I will definitely go to the Human Domain to see."

Specks of starlight shone in his eyes, and in Lin Suqing's eyes, he was incredibly dazzling.

Wu Wang stated firmly:

"I must find a way to cure this strange illness I have!"

"Young Master..."

"Have a good few years of fun before getting married!"

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Lin Suqing clutched her chest and coughed. The guards beside her cast looks of admiration at Wu Wang.

This, this was the demeanor of their future leader.
