"I have a friend."

"His father is Mingyan Zhenren from the Yin Gui Dao, and his mother is Yuhua Zhenren from the same sect."

"When his mother was about to give birth, he was ambushed by hostile monks."

"In short, his father failed to save his mother, and there were two twins in her womb. The elder brother had half of his body destroyed and was dying, while the younger sister had foul air entering her brain and her soul was incomplete."

"So, his father extracted his brother's intact soul and transplanted it into his sister's intact body..."

Wen Yang spoke with a gloomy expression, his voice gradually becoming lower.

Jiang Li'an felt a little depressed after hearing this, and thought to himself, if he were treated like this, he would just commit suicide.

Wei Dongliu next to him suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"No one is an outsider here, so I'd like to ask you clearly: Is this friend you are talking about yourself?"

Wen Yang's face froze instantly and he almost vomited blood.

Jiang Li'an's cheeks twitched as well. He only heard Wen Yang waving his hand and saying awkwardly:

"That's not important, not important..."

"Anyway, my friend...he has been a girl since he was young, but people around him also treat him as a girl."

"But his father was from the Phantom School. He told him his life story early on and asked him a question that he couldn't refute."

"If you were originally a man, and because your body was destroyed, you took over the body of a woman, does that mean you have become a woman?"

Wei Dongliu: ...

Jiang Li’an: …

"His father also said, what if the body he possessed was not a human female, but a beast? Would you become a beast?" Wen Yang said in a dark tone, "Father finally concluded that it is not his body but his soul that determines who a person is."

Jiang Li'an had a strange expression on his face, and he obviously disagreed with this statement.

However, the previous "theory of taking over the body of an animal" was too shocking. If it could not be refuted, then no matter how hard one tried in other directions, it would be impossible to convince Wen Yang.

"I have heard of a theory about this," Wei Dongliu said expressionlessly, "that theory says that gender is determined by acquired factors, not by nature."

“Even if you were born male, as long as you suddenly realize that you are a female one day, then you are a female from that moment on.”

Wen Yang listened in silence, thought for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly:

"How can such a ridiculous statement be possible? If a pervert falsely claims to be a woman, he can freely enter and leave the ladies' boudoirs?"

"Indeed, I also think it's nonsense." Wei Dongliu said seriously, "But it does reveal one thing, that is, acquired gender recognition does exist."

"The theory your father talked about is based on a premise, that is, you have already formed a corresponding gender identity. After that, no matter what body you travel into, you will choose to stick to your identity."

"But if you swapped bodies in the womb and your soul has no gender recognition, then I think it's not a big problem even if you identify as a woman."

Wen Yang listened with a stiff smile and said awkwardly:

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine...but thank you."

Wei Dongliu nodded and was about to leave when he heard Wen Yang say:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I have finished telling my friend's story. It's your turn now."

This time he did not choose a deep and magnetic male voice, but instead chose a more neutral and cold voice that could not be distinguished between male and female.

Jiang Li’an: ???

She showed an embarrassed expression, as if she had eaten the melon and ended up eating it herself, and tried to change the subject:

"I don't have any story..."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang." Wen Yang said in a gloomy tone, "Fellow Daoist Wei is so generous to bring us to explore the ruins here. Of course, we should treat Fellow Daoist Wei with sincerity. What do you think?"

Jiang Li'an was about to vomit blood. It turned out that it was not enough for you to reveal the secret yourself, but you had to bring me along as well!

But there is some truth in what Wen Yang said. She has revealed such a private matter. If I still hide it, my Lord Wei will compare it in his mind and will not have a grudge against me, right?

"Ahem." Witch Jiang coughed and said, "In that case, I'll share a little secret with you all."

"Actually, I was born on a yin year, yin month, yin day, yin time and yin minute." She said mysteriously.

Then, the other two people showed an expression of "that's it".

"Do you know what a 'person with an innate Yin body' is?" Jiang Li'an said coldly, "If you use my body as a sacrifice to summon a demon, the demon's rank will rise to a higher level out of thin air!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang turns out to be a top-notch demon sacrifice." Wen Yang immediately covered his mouth and laughed, "How dare you tell us such a secret?"

What "we"? Witch Jiang was furious. Are you worthy of being compared with Lord Wei?

Wei Dongliu quickly came to his senses and sneered:

"Your master accepted you as his disciple, I think he had ulterior motives."

"Yes." Jiang Li'an said coldly, "But this is also my amulet."

"Such a good sacrifice will naturally be used to summon the best demon." Wen Yang said thoughtfully, "In other words, before your master decides to take action, he will protect you from being killed by other disciples."

"That's not the case." Jiang Li'an was silent for a moment and said, "My master probably hasn't made up his mind yet."

"If you really show excellent talent as a cultivator, then cultivating a nearly perfect and controllable disciple would be more attractive than summoning a high-level demon." Wei Dongliu pointed out the key coldly.

"That's right." Jiang Li'an said faintly, "People with innate Yin bodies also have a certain bonus in practicing the magic of the Heavenly Demon Dao."

"So Master must still be weighing whether to make me his personal disciple or turn me into a sacrifice to a high-level demon."

"I have roughly figured out the critical point in between." She showed an extremely serious expression and said in a cold voice, "First, I must become the best among all the disciples."

"Secondly, I must form a high-grade golden elixir. This way, I can basically ensure that I can successfully form a fetus and become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future."

"In this way, my future value in being kept and cultivated will be greater than that of a high-level demon."

Although she only mentioned two points, Wei Dongliu keenly noticed that there was actually a third point that was truly crucial:

To gain the absolute trust of her master.

Otherwise, the more outstanding her abilities are and the stronger her foundation is, the more her master will feel fearful and will take action against her in advance.

Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the character of Mo Dao made the right decision to set up his own business.

If you really want to become some old monster's disciple, you have to tremble with fear and tread on thin ice. You have to take one step, calculate two steps, and look three steps ahead. Your life and death are always in the hands of others. How frustrating and uncomfortable that would be!
