At the Great Simplicity Gate, quite a few cultivators had mastered the [First-Rank Dao Seal].
However, roughly half of them had no Dao companion with whom to practice [Beautiful Lady Yu].
And the biggest obstacle to practicing [Beautiful Lady Yu] together was not gender, but internal competition, cultivation schedules, personalities, internal factions, and all manner of other factors.
