People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

They had always heard that the Moon Goddess was no match for the Eastern Lord, but they never imagined that it was more than just a matter of being no match for him.

The current Lady Yanfei is disciplining Lady Yueshen almost like training a dog.

However, they also understood that it was Lord Dongjun who was using his power to suppress Lord Yueshen; otherwise, Lord Yueshen wouldn't have been in such a sorry state, like a defeated dog, and would have had to deliver the message.

Ya Fei looked through the wooden window at the Moon Goddess disappearing into the snow, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The moon goddess left in the middle of the night. Could it be that she was going to find Donghuang Taiyi?

Should she tell the leader of the Mohist school to take over some of the Mohist school's assets in Handan?

Ya Fei crossed her arms, her smiling face turning cold.

Because of running Feixue Pavilion, she was very interested in gold coins, but that was only her interest in making some money.

The Mohists went too far tonight.

Ya Fei, walking with a gait reminiscent of Handan step, watched the Snow Maiden dancing in the dance studio.

After seeing Cao Ze off, this girl returned to her room and started dancing, and she's been dancing ever since.

She knew the snow woman was annoyed.

I also know that this time I'm upset because of her.

If it weren't for her, the Snow Woman would have confided in me.

Thinking of this, Ya Fei sighed softly, wondering what Cao Ze was thinking and what he was doing. Could he be flirting with another woman?

Cao Ze was unaware that Ya Fei had begun to suspect that he was having an affair.

At this moment, he is being provoked by Li Wu.

He hadn't planned to do anything with Li Wu tonight.

I just want to get some rest for the night.

After all, Li Wu had already given him a good thrashing in the morning, and then presented the Empress with a batch of goods at noon, so he was already in saint mode.

Unfortunately, Li Wu didn't give him a chance to recuperate.

Having no other choice, he reluctantly took out his well-honed weapon to curb Li Wu's arrogance.

The next morning.

Cao Ze and Li Wu both came out of the house with dark circles under their eyes.

The heavy snow outside had stopped, but it only highlighted how dark their dark circles were.

Last night, just like the night before, I risked my life to accompany you, Li Wu.

His vast army of hundreds of millions of soldiers was almost completely wiped out.

I was supposed to conserve my energy, but I almost exhausted it all.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to go on the "Lecture Room" program these days, otherwise, given his current appearance, any experienced person would immediately know that he's been taken advantage of by some woman.

Li Wu stretched her aching waist in the morning sun.

"No, you should go to Jingni's room for the next couple of days."

After yawning and speaking to Cao Ze, Li Wu went back inside.

She wanted to catch up on some sleep.

Jing Ni is right. For cultivators like them, frequent sexual activity is not advisable.

Unless one cultivates the Qi of the liver and kidneys like Cao Ze, it will really affect one's cultivation over time.

Cao Ze remained silent.

He seems to have some kidney deficiency and needs to start taking kidney tonics, otherwise he won't be able to enjoy himself as much in the future.

Cao Ze sat cross-legged alone on the snow in the courtyard.

In the Eight Trigrams, the winter solstice belongs to the Kan trigram.

This winter solstice is not the winter solstice according to the calendar, but rather is based on the first snowfall of winter; when it snows, it is winter.

If there is no snow in winter, it indicates that the Eight Trigrams are not in harmony, and it will not be beneficial to cultivation.

If there is snow, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He cultivates the Yin Five Thunders, which primarily focuses on the Qi of the liver and kidneys.

Liver governs wood.

In winter, when plants wither and trees fall, the liver is stored away.

The kidneys govern water metabolism.

The Kan trigram belongs to the water element and is beneficial for the cultivation of the kidneys.

A faint white mist appeared around Cao Ze.

Gradually, a phantom white flower appeared above my head.

The Taoist concept of "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Returning to the Origin" applies here.

The Three Flowers refer to the essence, energy, and spirit, while the Five Qi refer to the Qi of the five elements: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

To achieve success in cultivation, one must condense the Three Flowers and gather the Five Qi.

There is no order of priority in the cultivation of these two practices.

For example, Zhuge Qing's father, the head of the Wuhou School, directly focused on the lower, middle, and upper dantian to ignite the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit.

However, to go further, one needs to cultivate the Five Qi Returning to the Origin.

It is worth mentioning that cultivators who practice the dual cultivation of body and mind rely on the statement in the "Ling Shu·Ben Zang" that "human blood, qi and spirit are what sustain life and fulfill one's nature and destiny."

Whether it's the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin or the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, as long as you practice them deeply, they can promote the cultivation of the other one, and to a certain extent, they are reversible.

Jingni carried Xiaoyan'er out and saw Cao Ze sitting motionless on the snow in the courtyard, which she found strange.

It's like practicing the art of refining essence into qi, but it's different.

Three hours later, Li Wu, who had gone back to sleep, came out.

Cao Zecai opened his eyes and slowly finished his practice.

He drew the white mist around him back into his body.

Refining essence can transform into qi, and refining qi can naturally transform into essence.

Although he hasn't reached the point where he can transform things at will, it's not difficult for him to treat his somewhat deficient kidneys.

He glanced at Li Wu and Jing Ni standing to the side, and felt confident he could do it again.

Chapter 132 Let's Talk It Out

Jingni and Liwu both sensed a crisis approaching.

The two women subconsciously looked at Cao Ze not far away, only to meet his malicious smile.

Cao Ze walked up to Jing Ni and Li Wu, rubbed his hands together, and said, "It's too cold outside, let's go inside."

Li Wu said speechlessly, "After opening up the eight extraordinary meridians, one can be virtually immune to heat and cold whenever one wants."

Jingni, holding Xiaoyan'er, hesitated and said, "Liwu, let's go back to the room first."

Cao Ze reminded her.

It gets much colder after the snow. She and Li Wu can stay in the snow and ice without any problems, but Xiao Yan'er is not suitable to stay outside for long, as she is prone to getting sick.

She still vividly remembers the time two months ago when Xiaoyan had a fever.

Li Wu's pretty face, which had been chilled, flushed slightly.

She didn't believe that Jing Ni hadn't understood Cao Ze's implied meaning.

There is plenty of charcoal fire in the house.

Just as Cao Ze was about to take Jing Ni and Li Wu to try flying together, he suddenly realized that the bed, which he thought was just the right size, didn't look like it was big enough for three people to use in actual combat.

Li Wu watched Cao Ze gesturing about the bed and the space beside it, chuckled, and said, "What are you doing?"

Cao Ze snorted, "Let's test it out. I'm planning to have a carpenter make a big bed for me."

Li Wu was taken aback. "Isn't this enough for you and Jing Ni to sleep with?"

Jingni warmed herself by the fire and whispered, "He probably wants you to sleep with me."

"what?"

Li Wu was shocked.

She was shocked by Cao Ze's depravity, and also shocked that Jing Ni was even more filthy than she had imagined.

"How did you know?" Li Wu asked in a low voice.

Jing Ni glanced at Cao Ze, who was still gesturing about the design, and said, "He mentioned it to me."

When did this happen?

"It was about three months ago, when he was chatting with me late at night. Yeah, he was probably joking."

How do you remember it so clearly?

"...I remember everything he said."

Li Wu looked at Jing Ni, blinked her beautiful eyes, and suddenly sneered, "So, you were already eyeing me three months ago."

Jingni hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What kind of idea are you referring to?"

Li Wu was stunned and said, "What else? Of course, it's about how he fell in love with me."

"Oh, this one, he was..."

"Wait a minute." Li Wu said with a serious face, "Let's start from the beginning. What other aspects are there? Tell me the truth, don't hide anything from me."

Jingni glanced at Cao Ze, who was measuring the bed, again and said honestly, "He actually had his eye on you when you went to the grasslands to see me."

"what?"

Li Wu raised her voice slightly. She couldn't have imagined, no matter how hard she tried, that this guy would still be thinking about her while she was on the grassland.
