“No! No need! Thank you!” Mu Yanxi shook her head repeatedly. They had only been pressed together just now, yet it had left her unable to get up even now.
If things became any more intense, she did not dare imagine what would become of her—she might very well pass out.
“Haha, your constitution is too weak. Although you’ve practiced a decent body forging cultivation method, you didn’t build a solid foundation during the Body Refinement Stage.”
“You haven’t reached the top level in blood moving, bone forging, or spirit storing. Fortunately, it was only the Body Refinement Stage, so you can make up for it later,” Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
She reached out to pull Mu Yanxi up and used a towel to help wipe her body clean.
“By the way, although I think you should be well aware and take this seriously without me saying much, I still need to remind you of one thing. To a female cultivator, primordial yin is very important.”
“You must never lose it carelessly. What I said earlier was just a joke; I have boundaries and principles. But you must never let an unfamiliar or unreliable female cultivator get their hands on you—not even those from the same sect.”
Shangguan Yun spoke very seriously. Mu Yanxi snapped, “What kind of person do you take me for? Of course I wouldn’t mess around with my sect mates!”
“Forget finger techniques, I have no intention of double cultivation with other female sect mates at all!”
“Well, double cultivating with other sisters is something that will happen sooner or later in the Spiritual Moon Sect.”
“That part doesn’t matter, and you’ll get used to it later. However, you must remain clear-headed and not let the other party overstep.”
“In the past, there were some insidious and jealous senior sisters who intentionally used the name of double cultivation to secretly plot against the primordial yin of other sect mates. The impact of such incidents is terrible,” Shangguan Yun said seriously.
Shangguan Yun spoke very seriously.
Mu Yanxi snapped, “What kind of person do you take me for? Of course I wouldn’t mess around with my sect mates! Forget finger techniques, I have no intention of double cultivation with other female sect mates.”
“Well, double cultivating with other sisters is something that will happen sooner or later in the Spiritual Moon Sect.”
“That part doesn’t matter, and you’ll get used to it later. However, you must remain clear-headed and not let the other party use finger techniques.”
“In the past, there were some insidious and jealous senior sisters who intentionally used the name of double cultivation to secretly break the primordial yin of other female sect mates using finger techniques. The impact of such incidents is terrible,” Shangguan Yun said seriously.
“What? There are actually people that outrageous?” Mu Yanxi asked in shock. The severity of this matter even made her overlook the previous part about double cultivation between girls being normal.
“Since there is female-to-female double cultivation, there is naturally female-to-female plucking and supplementing. It’s called plucking yin to supplement yin.”
“There are also those motivated by jealousy. Even if they gain nothing, they want to break your primordial yin just to ruin you. It’s a lose-lose situation,” Shangguan Yun said with a hint of anger.
“Does the Sect not care about this?” Mu Yanxi asked. Logically, the Spiritual Moon Sect had to manage such a heinous matter.
“Of course they do. There was a crackdown on these incidents before. Any female disciple who dares to secretly break a sect mate’s primordial yin will be severely punished and forced to compensate the victim.”
“But even with compensation, it’s only paid at the market price based on one’s current realm. The damage is already done. What could have been saved to be sold for a higher price in the future is just wasted,” Shangguan Yun said.
“Wait! Stop! Compensation at market price? Selling for a higher price later? Primordial yin has a market price?” Mu Yanxi interrupted quickly, as if she had heard something completely unbelievable.
“Of course primordial yin has a market price. Can the price of a Nascent Soul Stage female cultivator’s primordial yin be the same as a Foundation Establishment female cultivator’s?”
“Even if they are both in the Nascent Soul Stage, their cultivation achievements can be worlds apart. To prevent the inflation of the yin price, or to stop high-level cultivators from taking advantage of female cultivators by buying it for cheap, Spiritual Moon Palace has a clear price list.”
“Several other female sects have them too, though theirs might be a bit more expensive,” Shangguan Yun said as if it were common sense.
If Mu Yanxi’s worldview had just been shaken before, now it had been smashed to pieces on the floor, beyond salvage. ‘Primordial yin can actually have a clearly marked price?
Can it really be spoken of so matter-of-factly?’
But after thinking carefully, Mu Yanxi realized Shangguan Yun was right. The value of primordial yin from a Nascent Soul Stage versus a Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator was indeed different.
Even in the same realm, different constitutions could create a massive disparity. This had been common knowledge in her previous life; it was just that no one had ever brought it out into the open, let alone given it a fixed price.
