119 My new bride is a bit shy Part 3

Just as Su Lin was about to start explaining the basics seriously, Monkey cautiously spoke, "Master, I do have a cultivation related question". 

Not sure why, but everyone in that small space exactly knew that his question was definitely going to be neither appropriate nor cultivation related.

"Master, why is our first brother also able to 'cultivate' with you?"

Inside the small space of the helicopter, Su Lin was seriously describing the basics of cultivation, the main energy points in the body, how to sense the energy and absorb it and circulate it through the body.

These were all extremely fundamental concepts that were required by any beginner cultivator to understand and completely master.

So when Monkey asked a question in the midst of her serious explanation, Su Lin did not think twice about it and continued to answer it sincerely.

"That is because Luther's pure Yang energy had the chance to mix with a female cultivator's pure Yin energy, acting as a catalyst for his body to get accustomed to spiritual energy circulation."

Immediately everyone's face changed and a perplexed curious look appeared simultaneously one after the other.

Monkey hesitantly further probed, "Master, just how to mix this Yang and Yin energies?"

Su Lin still seriously continued her lesson, looking sternly at Monkey.

"Hmph. That is the method by which losers cultivate. One has to find a sucker female cultivator, to actually let a man take away her precious Yin energy."

Apparently, Su Lin even held a lot of contempt for this method.

Just as she finished speaking, Su Lin finally realized what was going on. She could even hear faint snickering noises.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

At least she didn't explain it completely! Else what would have happened to her reputation!!

Su Lin braved herself and sheepishly looked at Luther, who seemed to be staring at her, with his jaw dropped, completely shocked and stunned.

Did he already guess the meaning?

"Ahem. Your lives are in danger. The Ninth gate is hunting you. Yada yadda yadda... So, let's focus on important matters now. Don't let your mind wander uselessly. We are reaching the spot in 10 minutes."

Blushing, she pieced together a bunch of statements haphazardly.

She could only hope that these assholes would let that topic be and tried her best to change their attention to something else.

Squirrel felt pity for his master and tried to salvage the situation. He quickly asked another question.

Su Lin recovered as well, with her tone icier than before. She ignored the grinning handsome devil sitting at the back and continued with her lesson.

Luther still didn't quite understand what exactly she had meant but his mind got creative.

It definitely had to be on the lines of feeding him some medicine using her lips right?

Otherwise, why would she blush and act like a frightened little bunny?

But, fortunately for Su Lin, her next few words brought all the wandering souls back to reality.

"When your cultivation reaches Soul Stage 1, you will be able to extend your spiritual sense and surveil or scan the surroundings. This will also help you sense and absorb spiritual energy better."

"Reaching Soul Stage 2 enables you to circulate the spiritual energy through the body, strengthening the bones and muscles."

"Soul Stage 3 lets you extend the spiritual energy as a part of your body and unleash basic attacks related to the type of soul core you have condensed.

"And finally, Soul Stage 4 gives you a higher recovery rate, with your wounded limbs recovering and regenerating faster. At this stage as long as one is not dead, we are able to bring them back to life."

"These are the four stages of the mortal realm."

"Since you guys have crossed the prime age of 10 for cultivation, even completely mastering the mortal realm is an insurmountable task. So focus on this for now."

"And when I reach Soul Stage 3, I will be able to extend my spiritual energy and unlock your energy points, acting as a catalyst for triggering your cultivation process."

"This is our current game plan. Does anyone have questions?" Su Lin glared at everyone in the chopper.

Monkey was just about to ask something else when an overwhelming killing intent assaulted him.

He immediately cowered in fear and shut his mouth.

Everyone mentally prepared themselves and soon they reached the higher ranges of the Kawa Karpo mountains.

"Wow, we had actually lived here for about five years and never once noticed such an important secret about this place." Squirrel spoke in astonishment, as he gazed at that familiar mountain range, with its chaotic twists and turns.

"Yes, unless your energy points are open, you will not be able to sense this meager amount of spiritual energy."

Su Lin volunteered an explanation for Squirrel's rhetorical question and quickly scanned the mountainous terrain to pick a suitable spot.

Soon, she pointed towards a cluster of rocks and signaled to Luther and the others to set up camp there.

As she hurriedly got into a seated meditative pose, she looked at Luther, still unable to directly meet his eyes, and mumbled, "Don't... Don't hesitate to disturb me if you ... questions."

Luther nodded. His usual playful attitude was replaced with a much more serious facade.

Normally, he would have teased his precious wifey, but now, he was completely overwhelmed by all this new information.

Cultivation?

That was something completely magical and mind-bending for him to even fathom.

So, this was how the Nine gates established their power!

As things were becoming clearer and clearer, he couldn't help but feel very fragile and vulnerable.

Those monsters had something like this at their disposal for so many years. But, they were just starting right now, from the basics.

How will they ever reach their depth and their level? How does Su Lin even know about all of this?

Luther couldn't help but wonder about this mysterious woman's background. He thought he knew her, but everything about her is shrouded in mystery.

But still, this was the woman he loved. Nothing would change that.

That thought gave him a sense of calmness and stability. He closed his eyes.
