Absurd Rules (Page 1/2)

Hehuan Sect Rules:

[Follow the principle of mutual consent; no forceful seizure, swindling, or deception]

[Do not share the same male cultivator at the same time]

[Recording Stones are forbidden from recording the dual cultivation process]

[At least one reflection related to dual cultivation must be published every ten years]

[Those who obtain a Sword Cultivator's Primal Yang will be rewarded with one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones each time and receive the honorary title of Senior Sister upon graduation]

[Those who shatter a Sword Cultivator's Dao Heart will be awarded one Heaven Grade Spiritual Artifact and enjoy the Hehuan Sect's protection for life]

The moment Su Xanyu received the Jade Slip, she sent the sect rules to Yun Luo.

Yun Luo firmly believed that behind every absurd rule lay an even more absurd story, so she studied them carefully.

Jade Slips in the cultivation world were similar to modern phones, except they came in different grades.

Low-grade Jade Slips were like pagers. They could only transmit simple voice messages, and they had distance limits and long delays.

Mid-grade Jade Slips were like flip phones. They allowed real-time calls, messages, and browsing a stripped-down version of the Cultivation Forum.

High-grade Jade Slips were smartphones. They could make video calls and even create holographic projections.

The Hehuan Sect was filthy rich. The Jade Slip they gave Yun Luo was high-grade, allowing her to browse the illustrated cultivation-world forums, where Immortal Realm current affairs, celebrity gossip, and Cpdd could all be found.

Besides that, she found the little yellow... ah, no, dual cultivation reflections written by generations of senior sisters on the Hehuan Sect's internal forum. They were truly vivid and sensual.

Yun Luo rediscovered the joy of scrolling through her phone and, before she knew it, spent the entire night browsing.

When Chu Li and Su Xanyu came to find her the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes, just as expected.

Seeing that there were only the two of them, Yun Luo asked:

"Where's Eldest Senior Sister?"

Su Xanyu flicked the bell hanging from her waist.

"She has already touched the bottleneck of her cultivation and went out to find a man for dual cultivation."

Yun Luo remembered that although Eldest Senior Sister ranked first, she was younger than both Su Xanyu and Chu Li.

That was also why Su Xanyu had always refused to accept Qin Mushuang.

"Come on. Senior Sister will take you around the sect and let you experience our Hehuan Sect's sect culture."

Su Xanyu slung an arm over Yun Luo's shoulder.

She was no longer the youngest-ranked one, so naturally, she had to put on the air of a senior sister.

After leaving Lingxi Peak, the Inner Sect disciples all greeted them.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Chu! Greetings, Senior Sister Su!"

Chu Li waved at them and pulled Yun Luo beside her.

"This is my Little Junior Sister, Yun Luo. Remember her."

The disciples said in unison, "Greetings, Senior Sister Yun."

Within the sect, disciples were ranked from highest to lowest as Direct Disciples, Inner Sect disciples, and Outer Sect disciples.

Regardless of when they had joined or how old they were, disciples one rank below collectively addressed those one rank above them as Senior Sister or Senior Brother.

Yun Luo calmly waved at the Beautiful Sisters.

"Hello, junior sisters. Please take care of me in the future."

She was the pretty and approachable sort, and when she smiled, she resembled peach blossoms in spring.

"Senior Sister Yun is so adorable."

"She'll definitely become a great beauty when she grows up."

"Come play with us often in the future."

"I often dual cultivate in Cave Number 76. If Senior Sister doesn't understand anything after just joining, you can come observe."

Yun Luo was so flattered that she felt as if she were floating, but then she realized something was off.

Observe?

Was that something she could watch?

She glanced at Chu Li and Su Xanyu. Seeing that their expressions were perfectly normal, her little face instantly turned yellow.

She had come to the right Hehuan Sect.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Su Xanyu reminded them, "It's almost time for Morning practice. You should get going."

Only then did the disciples disperse.

Yun Luo stared at the sisters' retreating backs, and a question suddenly arose in her mind.

"Senior Sisters, our Hehuan Sect is all female disciples, and male cultivators aren't allowed into the Inner Sect either. Then where do we dual cultivate?"

Chu Li smiled and asked in return:

"Do you know why our Hehuan Sect is the wealthiest of all sects?"

Yun Luo had only heard that the Hehuan Sect was rich, but she did not know why. She shook her head blankly.

"What is our Hehuan Sect most famous for?" Chu Li asked and answered herself. "Beguiler Techniques."

"Beguiler Techniques can cloud people's minds, but they can also easily backfire on the user. Thus, their upper limit depends on a cultivator's divine sense talent, while cultivating Beguiler Techniques itself can also improve the resilience of a cultivator's divine sense to a certain extent."

"As it happens, artifact refining, Drawing Talismans, formations, and pill refining also require powerful divine sense as support. Therefore, our Hehuan Sect's abilities in these areas are not inferior to sects that specialize solely in talismans, pills, or artifacts. We even surpass them in some respects.

"So in our sect, even Sword Cultivators choose one of these to cultivate. For example, Eldest Senior Sister draws talismans and sets formations in addition to practicing the sword."

Yun Luo suddenly understood.

Talismans, medicinal pills, and Magic Artifacts were hard currency in the cultivation world. Whether Rogue Cultivators or sect disciples, all were willing to offer Spirit Stones for them.

With such businesses, the Hehuan Sect could sit back and count money.

Su Xanyu added proudly:

"Besides selling things directly, our Hehuan Sect also provides Magic Artifact maintenance, and our quality is number one in the cultivation world. Even Sword Cultivators who dislike us the most have no choice but to come to us for the sake of their Spirit Swords."

"So long as male cultivators are willing to come to the Hehuan Sect as dual cultivation partners, they can get a twenty percent discount on what they buy from us. Every male cultivator is strictly screened by the sect to ensure there are no crooked melons or cracked dates, and there are plenty to go around."

"Wow."

Yun Luo exclaimed in amazement.

If the cultivation world had teaching quality evaluations, the Hehuan Sect would definitely be the sect with the highest disciple satisfaction.

They were far, far, far too responsible.

Chu Li flipped through the new disciple internship handbook in her Jade Slip.

"As it happens, there's an observation session arranged for today. Let's go see our Dual Cultivation Grounds now."

Male cultivators could not enter anywhere within the Inner Sect, so the Hehuan Sect had carved out many caves in the cliffs within a hundred li of the Outer Sect for disciples to dual cultivate in.

At that moment, Yun Luo sat atop Zhuaizhai, riding on the crane Mu He had given her as a mount.

Yun Luo had named it Maibake.

On either side of Maibake, Chu Li and Su Xanyu rode their swords, one to the left and one to the right. The three drifted through cliffs riddled with countless caves.

"Little Brother, is this your first time dual cultivating?"

"Don't be shy. Big Sister will be very gentle."

"Senior Sister Zhang, between Senior Brother and me, who's better?"

"Serve me well, and I'll give you thirty percent off the spiritual pills you want."

"Guard your essence and Primal Yang. Do not let it leak out."

Every word of the conversations inside the caves reached Yun Luo's ears. When had she ever heard such a vivid, sensual live version before?

Was this something a little girl like her could listen to?

"Little Junior Sister, they knew you were coming and took down their barriers early. It's fine, just look as much as you want."

Afraid that Yun Luo might be shy in an unfamiliar place, Su Xanyu spoke boldly, trying to ease her embarrassment.

In truth, Yun Luo was far dirtier-minded than she was.

She had originally wanted to act reserved, but they were all beautiful women and handsome guys, each with an exceptionally fine figure. Yun Luo's gaze drifted toward those cave entrances without her realizing it.

At first glance, she saw snow-white flesh entwined with bronze skin...

"Senior Sister Jiang, why are you cultivating here?"

Spotting an acquaintance, Chu Li hurriedly rode her sword closer to the cave. Su Xanyu plucked Yun Luo off Maibake and set her on her own sword before following along.

The female cultivator inside the cave was flushed red, while the male cultivator with her only showed a face as handsome as Pan An.

"...Couldn't be bothered to go out and look... happened to have one delivered right to my door..."

Senior Sister Jiang answered Chu Li while XX, and the dense spiritual energy seemed about to condense into substance and burrow into her body.

"This is... your new junior sister... so... so cute..."

Chu Li looked proud. "Of course. Whose junior sister do you think she is?"

Senior Sister Jiang paused, circulated and breathed in spiritual energy for a while, then looked at Yun Luo after catching her breath.

"Junior Sister Yun, I'm about to enter meditation. Look as much as you like. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me at Jade Dew Peak in the future."

Yun Luo knew that Direct Disciples generally did not come to these caves for dual cultivation. They usually went outside to find men themselves, unless they truly could not wait any longer.

Senior Sister Jiang was probably preparing to break through.

"Alright, Senior Sister Jiang. You get busy first. I'll go look somewhere else, then visit you at Jade Dew Peak another day."

"What a good girl. Once Senior Sister breaks through, I'll give you a gift."

Senior Sister Jiang threw her a seductive glance, then entered meditation.

Yun Luo felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

I'm straight. I'm straight. I'm straight.
