Xi Yunting looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Xiao to be interested in such things. However, he still held the attitude of tolerance towards his friend and explained it to Chen Xiao.
In this world, the proportion of immortal cultivators who get married and have children is not small. However, these people often get married when their cultivation is relatively low, such as in the foundation building stage or the golden elixir stage. Probably because of the extension of life, the higher the cultivation of female immortal cultivators, the lower the chance of giving birth. And if a couple of immortal cultivators want to have children, if they miss these two easy periods, they can still have children in the Nascent Soul stage, but the chance is slim in the Out-of-Body stage, and they can just give up and don't try again in the Fusion stage.
Chen Xiao thought about it. Xi Yunting said that this was related to the extension of women's lifespan and high cultivation. Chen Xiao wondered if this was just like ordinary people. Even if women's lifespans were extended, they were still subject to physiological limitations. Although they still maintained their youthful appearance, their reproductive period was actually over.
This question can only be answered by a cultivator. If you ask Tong Nuonuo or other people who are dedicated to cultivation, they really can't tell the answer. However, when Xi Yunting was in the Immortal Gate, he had no friends and could only read books when he had nothing to do, so he knew a lot of unpopular knowledge.
Seeing that he was indeed curious about the matter, Xi Yunting simply told him everything he knew to prevent him from drawing the wrong conclusion.
It turns out that after women cultivate immortality, their physical fitness improves, their life span lengthens, and their physiological cycle lengthens accordingly. After the foundation-building stage, the menstrual cycle of female immortal cultivators is relatively stable, but the cycle changes from monthly to quarterly. When they reach the golden elixir stage, the cycle becomes longer, becoming half a year. The Yuanying stage is one year, and the out-of-body stage becomes several years. Female immortal cultivators in the fusion stage are probably in the so-called menopause period, and will no longer have menstrual periods.
Xi Yunting was indeed meticulous in his work. When he explained the secret knowledge of women, he remained calm. Thanks to him, Chen Xiao also learned with a mindset of listening to popular science.
After listening to it, Chen Xiao remembered a science and education program he had seen by chance when he was seriously ill and lying in bed watching TV in his previous life. He vaguely remembered that when a woman was still in her mother's belly and had completed her ovarian development, she had the most egg cells. There were nearly millions of them. But as they developed and grew, the number of these egg cells would gradually decrease, degenerate and disappear. When a woman matured and had her first menstruation, there would only be a few hundred thousand egg cells left. But this number would continue to decrease, and eventually a woman could produce four or five hundred eggs in her lifetime. The reason why he remembered the last number so clearly was because he thought at the time that if all the eggs of a woman became children, she would become the mother of four or five hundred children. He was deeply in awe of this number, so he had not forgotten it even after a world apart.
If mature women in this world can only produce 400 to 500 eggs in their lifetime, then the cycle should indeed be longer as one's cultivation level increases. A normal woman's reproductive age is from her teens to her forties, and she ovulates once a month for the thirty years in between. If female cultivators do not extend this cycle, then those egg cells will not even wait until they reach their golden elixir or Nascent Soul stage before they are all consumed.
It seems that this world is still governed by laws. To gain a long life, one must pay various prices. And what is reduced for women is the opportunity to have children.
Xi Yunting said that the situation of Han Yuanzhi and his wife was not only affected by their cultivation, but also by the Han family. As far as he knew, there were not many children in the Han family, and each family had only two or three children. In addition to the death of Han Yuanzhi's only son, other teenagers from other branches were also seriously injured and died in the fight, which caused heavy damage to the already small population of the Han family. It is no wonder that the Han family hated the Chang family so much.
This made Chen Xiao a little worried. Could he successfully resolve the conflict between the two sides and solve this problem for the Han family?
Ever since Chen Xiao learned that Han Yuanzhi and his wife wanted to have a child, he had thought about the precious land in Changjia Village. He had seen it when he was looking for a place for study, and that place clearly had the luck of bringing prosperity to the population. As long as the Han family could build a house there, live there for a period of time, and make it the main house, Chen Xiao was confident that he could solve the problem of Han Yuanzhi and his wife. But now the Han family hated the Chang family so much, if he said that this place was the territory of the descendants of the Chang family, it would be strange if Han Yuanchun did not immediately gather people and kill them. So if this matter wanted to succeed, the contradictions between the two sides had to be resolved first.
Unconsciously, Chen Xiao's eyebrows wrinkled up, and Xi Yunting asked: "What are you worried about, brother Xiao?"
Chen Xiao came back to his senses and asked, "Brother, if there is one thing that can make the Han family change the situation of having few children and have a large population from now on, do you think the Han family will let go of their hatred and spare Changjia Village?"
Xi Yunting thought for a moment and said, "Is this related to the precious land you found in Changjia Village that caused the beasts to become restless?"
Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunting with admiration and nodded, "Yes. That place is a good spot. If the main house can be located there and the house can be built according to the correct plan, the client will definitely be able to change his fate of not having many children."
Xi Yunting hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How sure are you about this?"
Chen Xiao hesitated. If he was a Feng Shui master before, he would have said it with absolute certainty. However, in this world, he was not even a Feng Shui apprentice. He only relied on his previous foundation and his ignorant understanding of this world to do Feng Shui. Just think about how he dared to do Feng Shui for a client in the Out-of-the-orifice stage with his current half-baked level. He was really bold.
He laughed at himself, but he didn't dare to make a guarantee. He said to Xi Yunting conservatively, "Maybe 60 to 70 percent."
Xi Yunting said to him, "I will tell City Lord Han about this."
Chen Xiao looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid that I'll mess things up?"
Xi Yunting looked at him and curled his lips slightly: "Didn't Xiao brother say that you were 60 to 70 percent sure? This is enough. I believe you won't mess it up."
Given Xi Yunting's status, Han Yuanchun would definitely not take it lightly, but this was guaranteed by his own reputation. Being trusted like this, Chen Xiao's chest was burning hot. Chen Xiao felt as if something was choking his throat, making his voice a little unstable. He said in a low voice: "Brother..." His eyes suddenly became hot, as if it was the first time Fang Gu pressed his head and said that he would not abandon him. A warm sense of security surrounded him like a tide.
Chen Xiao tried to calm down his agitated emotions. He steadied his voice before speaking again: "Thank you, big brother. But I have other plans for this matter. I want to make some other preparations. It is not the time to go to City Lord Han to talk about this matter right away." Even with Xi Yunting's guarantee and recommendation, his words were insignificant. Even the village chief of Changjia Village did not take his words seriously. He would be looked down upon by cultivators with higher status and cultivation like Han Yuanchun. Instead of asking Xi Yunting to lower himself to speak for him, it would be better to let City Lord Han take the initiative to ask.
Xi Yunting was a little puzzled. Just now Chen Xiao seemed a little concerned, but now he let go. He didn't know that at this moment, his weight in Chen Xiao's heart was further deepened, making Chen Xiao consider his feelings more than his urgency to do Feng Shui. Xi Yunting could only say: "Since you call me big brother, you can ask for anything you need." Chen Xiao smiled and responded. The topic came to an end again. Xi Yunting was a little reluctant, but he could only stand up and said, "Rest early today, and don't delay the training tomorrow morning. After the training, I will help Xiao brother cut the rest."
Chen Xiao felt bitter when he heard this. The hellish training mode was about to start again. He hadn't even enjoyed this short day off, and it was gone.
The distance between the two of them was much closer than in Zhushanju. After getting up in the morning and eating, Chen Xiao came to the flower corridor after a while of digestion. The pale pink petals were swept to the ground by the autumn wind last night. They fell one after another like a pink carpet, which was particularly romantic and beautiful. Chen Xiao couldn't bear to step on it.
When Xi Yunting came over, Chen Xiao just stood there in a daze, looking down at something. He asked, "Brother Xiao, are you not feeling well?" Xi Yunting frowned slightly. He really didn't sleep well last night, otherwise why would he be in a daze?
Chen Xiao suddenly came back to his senses. He turned to look at Xi Yunting and said with a smile, "No, I had a good rest last night." Xi Yunting's brows relaxed, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go."
Xi Yunting completely ignored the pink petals scattered on the ground in front of him. In his eyes, it was just a mess. Seeing Xi Yunting leading the way to the martial arts training ground, Chen Xiao, who originally wanted to express his literary feelings to him, had to shut up. Well, his eldest brother might be an engineering student without any romantic nerves.
The training ground that Manager Han assigned to them was the closest one. They could see it just by passing through the flower corridor and turning a corner. This training ground completely met Xi Yunting's requirements and was completely enclosed. There were walls all around. After the two of them entered and closed the gate, people outside could not peek in. Unless they climbed up the wall or looked from a higher building farther away. However, Manager Han had already instructed in advance that if anyone dared to peek in, they would be punished severely according to the family rules without Xi Yunting having to take action.
Chen Xiao finished a set of basic movements under Xi Yunting's intense gaze. Then he did the more difficult body movements that he had already learned. As expected, martial arts training cannot be delayed for a day. It was just because he was in a hurry yesterday morning and came back to accompany Tong Nuonuo to the warehouse in the afternoon. He didn't take any time to practice. Chen Xiao could feel that his movements were sluggish. This made Chen Xiao's heart tremble and he remembered the lesson. In the future, he will not dare to be careless and delay his practice.
Xi Yunting stood aside and watched Chen Xiao meticulously complete all the content he had taught before, nodding secretly in his heart. Although Chen Xiao was the only person he had ever taught, Xi Yunting could tell that he had a strong will and an exceptionally calm personality. If he continued to practice like this, he would definitely achieve remarkable results in his cultivation.
Training him personally gave Xi Yunting a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, his achievements and promising future made Xi Yunting happy and relieved for Chen Xiao. This was his friend, and he naturally hoped that they could accompany each other on the journey of cultivating immortals without separation.
