As a result, when the introductory lecture video started, Mu Yanxi was once again pulled into a place similar to the Taiqing Immortal Domain.
This time, she was in a cave, with a clear spring before her.
At the mouth of the spring sat a woman in white, her long black hair loose and trailing into the water, cross-legged and letting the water rush over her.
She was a little better off than those previous naked Yaochi Fairies—at least she wore a white gauzy robe.
But only a little bit better.
The white gauzy robe was so thin that, once wet, it became completely transparent.
And she wore nothing underneath, her chest left open; fortunately, the cultivator’s long black hair, now wet, hung down naturally and covered all that needed covering.
“Isn’t there a more proper kind of lecture video? Why are they all so revealing?” Mu Yanxi asked somewhat helplessly.
“There isn’t, Master. This is already the most covered version. Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method must be cultivated while bathing, so the explanation must also be done in a bathing state.”
“Besides, this technique can only be practiced by women, and only women watch these videos. What’s the point of being shy?” the Terminal Ring explained.
Doesn’t someone like me, who became a woman through surgery, count? Mu Yanxi thought silently, but she said nothing more. After all, she couldn’t refuse to study just because the instructor wasn’t dressed.
“Supreme good is like water; it benefits all things and does not contend. It gives birth to all beings without pride. By bathing in water, one can cleanse away impurities…”
The female immortal began to slowly explain the basics of the Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method, demonstrating how to cultivate while bathing as she spoke.
This female immortal truly had a deep understanding of the Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method. Her explanation was both thorough and easy to understand, and with the experience of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Mu Yanxi quickly grasped the basics of the technique.
But when she instinctively tried to cultivate along with the lecture video, she still felt as if something was missing. The spiritual energy simply wouldn’t circulate, as if it was blocked somewhere.
“Master, the Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method is best cultivated while bathing. If you’d like to practice, you should go to the bathroom,” the Terminal Ring reminded her.
“Agh! What a hassle!” Mu Yanxi began undressing right away. She had finally managed to get into the right mindset to cultivate, but now there were so many conditions—was this technique really the most suitable for her?
She tossed her newly bought dress, dudou, and underwear onto the bed, then directly pushed open the door, planning to head straight to the bathroom.
But the moment she opened the door, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa listening to music.
Her mother looked up and, seeing Mu Yanxi walk out naked, widened her eyes in surprise.
“Eh?!” Realizing she’d been seen by her mother, Mu Yanxi’s face instantly flushed scarlet. She hurriedly stepped back twice and shut the door.
She’d gotten used to living alone in a cave-dwelling, so she’d subconsciously stripped off without thinking—completely forgetting that she now lived with her parents. Now she was in trouble.
“Hehe, Xi’er, what’s going on? Suddenly running out here naked. Even when you were a boy, you didn’t have the habit of streaking,” her mother asked with a smile as she came to the door.
“N-no, it’s nothing! I just wanted to take a bath!” Mu Yanxi hurriedly made an excuse, grabbing the dress and putting it on in a few quick moves. But her underwear and dudou were still lying on the bed.
The door was pushed open by her mother, who saw that Mu Yanxi was already dressed. With a slightly amused look, she said, “If you want to take a bath, just go. I’ll get you a towel and some clean clothes.”
“No need—um, okay, thank you, Mom.” Mu Yanxi had just wanted to say she’d get them herself, but then realized she had no idea where the fresh clothes and towels were kept in this house.
She could only dash off to the bathroom as if fleeing.
