Li Zi did not need to rack her brains at all. Fu Chaoqing came to her of his own accord.

"Junior Sister, I spoke with Senior Ziyang. A few of those herbs you have can be used for a simple Meridian Cleansing. I'll prepare a medicinal bath for you. Come on, let's go to my place."

The system chimed in at just the right moment. [Host, we're winning this one without lifting a finger.]

She Was Practicing an Evil Dual Cultivation Art

Ran Zirou followed Immortal Ziyang to the Hehuan Sect.

Spirit flowers bloomed everywhere. Every blade of grass and every tree had been tended with painstaking care. Within the formations stood trees and vines sculpted from ice, with icicles hanging among the foliage and mist curling around them.

Winding corridors and pavilions made for a breathtaking sight.

It was nothing like the austere decor of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Ran Zirou stayed close to Immortal Ziyang, too anxious to admire the scenery.

"Mother, are the senior brothers and sisters in our Sect easy to get along with? Could you introduce me to them?"

In her previous life, she had obtained a Heaven Tier Dual Cultivation art. She still remembered it in this life, and with her past experience, practicing it would be even easier.

But there was a problem. When she had obtained the art in her previous life, she had been surrounded by countless exceptional men. If she wanted to practice Dual Cultivation, all she had to do was crook a finger.

Things were different now. She had yet to meet those outstanding men.

The only ones who had caught her eye were Ji Zheng and Fu Chaoqing, but Immortal Ziyang had brought her to the Hehuan Sect before she could make a move.

Damn it!

With her Mixed Spiritual Root, her cultivation progressed too slowly. Now was no time to begin Dual Cultivation!

She had not obtained Ji Zheng's vital essence to flush the impurities from her Meridians, nor had she obtained Li Zi's Myriad Flower Divine Bone.

Even with her memories of her previous life and her knowledge of many Heaven Tier cultivation arts and Martial Arts Techniques, she could do nothing about it.

If she had no other choice, she would have to settle for a few men here.

Immortal Ziyang held her hand and smiled gently.

"There are no men among our Sect's Inner Sect disciples. Your senior sisters are all easy to get along with."

Ran Zirou's expression stiffened.

No... men?

Then what about my Dual Cultivation art...

Ran Zirou clutched the hem of Immortal Ziyang's robe. "Mother, what cultivation art does the Sect practice? Isn't it a Dual Cultivation art?"

The women of the Hehuan Sect relied on men to cultivate. She had always despised that in her previous life.

How was this place any different from a mortal brothel?

Immortal Ziyang looked at her in surprise. "Who told you our Sect's inherited art was a Dual Cultivation art? It's called the Azure Rainbow Nether Art. It's a Heaven Tier art with six levels. The first four cultivate the body, and the fifth and sixth cultivate the mind. Its core lies in widening the Meridians and strengthening the bones and sinews. Its strength is that it can take in a hundred rivers and is compatible with every type of Spiritual Root."

"We do have some Dual Cultivation arts, but our Sect doesn't encourage them. They may let you cultivate quickly, but they leave your foundation unstable. Besides, most draw yin to nourish yang. They benefit men more and damage a woman's foundation. None of the women in our Sect would willingly become someone's cultivation furnace."

Ran Zirou could not help asking, "What if the art draws yang to nourish yin?"

Immortal Ziyang's smile faded. Her face grew solemn, and her voice took on a weightier tone.

"Rou'er, that kind of art harms people. Drawing yang to nourish yin may benefit a woman, but to the man practicing Dual Cultivation with her, it's poison. The aftereffects can be severe."

Ran Zirou obediently murmured her assent and did not argue further.

What a bumpkin. She doesn't know a thing.

She had obtained her Dual Cultivation art in a Primordial Secret Realm. Its quality came close to immortal grade.

She had practiced it with her men in her previous life. It had worked wonderfully, raising their cultivation at astonishing speed. She had never seen any aftereffects.

This woman has never seen anything good, has she?

Some of the disdain and contempt in her eyes still showed through.

Immortal Ziyang glanced at her, her gaze flickering.

As they walked, Ran Zirou saw no one strolling about and felt a little puzzled.

Immortal Ziyang smiled. "Everyone should be cultivating at this hour."

After settling Ran Zirou in a residence, Immortal Ziyang reassured her briefly and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ran Zirou hurriedly caught the hem of Immortal Ziyang's robe. "Mother, when will you give me cultivation resources? I need medicine for Meridian Cleansing. I want to widen my Meridians."

Immortal Ziyang said, "Your Meridians are very fragile right now. Focus on Body Tempering first. I'll give you medicine after some time."

Ran Zirou's eyes instantly filled with tears. Their limpid sheen made her look all the more alluring.

"Mother, did you give all the medicine to Li Zi?"

A flash of admiration crossed the eyes of Immortal Ziyang's Dao companion, Mo Feng. He took out a porcelain bottle. "I have a third-grade Medicinal Pill here..."

Joy lit Ran Zirou's tear-bright eyes. "Thank you, Uncle..."

Since her rebirth, almost every Medicinal Pill she had obtained had been first-grade. Even second-grade pills were rare. This third-grade pill could raise her current cultivation at the Second Qi Refining Stage by a great deal.

Smack!

Suddenly, Immortal Ziyang slapped Mo Feng's hand aside.

The porcelain bottle rolled across the ground, and the round, spiritual-energy-rich Medicinal Pill tumbled into the dirt.

The anticipation on Ran Zirou's face froze.

Immortal Ziyang whirled around and slapped Mo Feng across the face.

"You wretch! How dare you offer a defective third-grade Medicinal Pill? She's my daughter. My daughter deserves the best!"

With that, she raised her foot and ground the pill to dust.

That was a third-grade Medicinal Pill!

For someone like her in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it would have been just right.

A storm surged in the depths of Ran Zirou's eyes. She could barely conceal her venomous resentment.

Immortal Ziyang took her hand and said softly, "You're my daughter, so of course you deserve the best. How could a pill like that be worthy of you? Just wait. Mother will fetch you a pill that's right for you."

Only then did Ran Zirou's expression improve.
