"Never mind that, the important thing is this, isn't it?"
Immediately, Master Wushang stood up.
Master Suotang only saw a human-shaped figure pacing back and forth, and the figure had an outstretched hand.
It must have been Master Wushang pointing at him from under the blue cloth.
"The one we should be considering now is An Zhengzheng!"
Master Suotang said helplessly, "I'm worried too, but when I looked at the disciple register, I saw that her cultivation level dropped by one level. She must have paid off her debt of life."
Master Qingxu sent these two to warn An Zhengzheng, lest she become addicted.
"..." Master Wushang remained silent for a long time before saying, "If Zhou Xu hadn't applied for the Heavenly Dao Talisman to kill that scum, he wouldn't have needed to lose so much of his cultivation!"
Ultimately, it's the injustice of fate that deliberately punishes women more severely.
"Your master should have ascended to heaven!"
Master Suotang scratched his head: "In charge of celestial affairs, would she allow such a thing to happen?"
When Master Wushang was practicing the Dharma Sect, his master was an extremely powerful female cultivator, whom everyone admired greatly.
It's almost fair to say that Wu Shang Zhenren's social anxiety was something she personally taught him; otherwise, given how Wu Shang Zhenren always covered his face and diligently practiced a bunch of cultivation manuals back in his cave...
Who would dare take him in!
"...I don't know." The blue humanoid figure seemed to shake its head. "For thousands of years, no one has been able to make contact with the celestial realm."
Master Suotang stood up listlessly, looked around, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"You actually helped Zhengzheng share the karmic debt?"
He was very surprised because Master Wushang had set up a causal thread in the cave.
"..." The humanoid figure paused for a moment.
Master Suotang was immediately displeased: "Fine, why should you get to share while I can't? She's my disciple too!"
Then she went to tie the karmic thread again.
Almost instantly, he lost some of his cultivation level.
Master Wushang didn't stop him.
“That male cultivator was a vicious person to begin with. Although Zhengzheng committed indirect murder beyond his level, the punishment was too severe. You see, it was much lighter when it came to you and me.”
Master Suotang had no children and was a man of great righteousness. In the eyes of cultivators at the Master level, there was never any distinction between men and women.
Only in the chaotic and corrupt world of cultivation and the mortal realm would such things happen.
As for them, they all have a very high degree of reverence for the creator goddess Nuwa.
Moreover, in the later stages of their cultivation, they need to have clones go to the human world to experience tribulations, where they will experience both male and female bodies and the suffering of all living beings.
Therefore, the distinction between genders is almost a joke to spiritual practitioners.
"Let her be. She doesn't seem like the type to act rashly. If you're interested, you can give her some pointers."
Master Wushang cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, and it is his duty as a master to help An Zhengzheng share the burden of this karma.
“The annual assessment is coming up again soon. She missed it last time because she was having an epiphany,” said Master Wushang. “This time, she’s not only coming to my assessment, but also to yours. You should start thinking about what kind of questions to give her.”
Master Suotang slapped his forehead: "Oh dear, this is my first time taking on a disciple, I have no experience, I almost forgot about this!"
Now that the two old men had reached a conclusion, Master Suotang took his leave.
An Zhengzheng soon received messages from the two real people.
It was mostly about preparing her for the upcoming annual performance review, and also a slight reminder to try not to get involved in anything that might lead to death.
Master Suotang also said, "If there is anything, you can tell the masters. If necessary, you can also apply for a Heavenly Talisman."
This means they knew.
An Zhengzheng stroked the jade slip, utterly bewildered as to why they didn't stop it.

"Missing? What are you talking about? How could a perfectly healthy person just disappear?"
Lady Pei was still very puzzled.
Dong'er pouted: "Who knows? It's all over the martial arts world that the Zhou family has mobilized people from all walks of life to search for them, and it's been quite some time now."
It refers to Zhou Xu.
An Zhengzheng had already heard these rumors, but remained unmoved.
Thanks to her recent improvement in cultivation, her eyesight has improved considerably, and she could see An Qinghuan leaning against the swing with a worried expression from a distance.
"What's wrong?" An Zhengzheng put down what she was doing and walked behind her. "Weren't you writing a storybook?"
Why did you write about yourself in such a melancholic way?
"Sister Zhengzheng, they all say they can't stand reading my storybooks." An Qinghuan was devastated.
An Zhengzheng took the book, flipped through it, and asked her, "Have you asked why? Writers still consider the market when they put pen to paper."
“I asked them, and they said… they just couldn’t bear to watch!” An Qinghuan was very worried.
“I only glanced at it a few times, and I just felt that you wrote it based on a male storybook with a different identity,” An Zhengzheng reminded her. “Men and women are ultimately different.”
Different social statuses and environments have a significant impact on people.
An Qinghuan sighed, "Sister Zhengzheng, I can't do it." She was very discouraged.
“This is a storybook I wrote. Ask them if they want to read it.” An Zhengzheng took out her own writing.
She had initially planned to proceed gradually, and if it weren't for the joint sanctions from the An and Zhou families, she wouldn't have released the formula and cultivation method so quickly.
An Qinghuan took it, and after reading only the first chapter, she couldn't help but want to read on.
"This is Sister Zhengzheng. Didn't you say we shouldn't limit ourselves to romantic relationships?" An Qinghuan asked, puzzled.
"I also said not to limit yourself to beauty, but when I first opened the Bai Nu Ge shop, I also started by relying on my beauty."
An Zhengzheng told her, "Everything should be done step by step. The key is that even if I start to focus on my beauty, I must do something different."
An Qinghuan realized: "The girl is following the crowd and talking about beauty, but the difference is that she emphasizes that every woman has a unique beauty."
At the time, many people in the Hehuan Sect were discussing it, and many of their self-conscious fellow disciples had a different mindset after reading it.
"Yes. But just emphasizing it is useless; we have to produce a viable finished product."
"Then I'll write storybooks..."
"Don't stray too far from the typical women's storybook format, but make some different changes. Your storybook is too intense right now, and they don't like it when they see it, so they can't continue reading."
Things in this world rarely happen overnight; they can only be accomplished step by step. An Zhengzheng's grand undertaking is also progressing step by step.
An Zhengzheng gave her the book he had written, gave her a few more careful instructions, and told her all the popular memes that had been commercially validated in her previous life.
When she left the courtyard and went to the front shop, she heard Madam Pei say, "...Then you should tell the young lady."
"What did you say?" An Zhengzheng asked, puzzled.
"Miss!" Dong'er smiled and came closer. "Miss, you don't know, everyone outside calls you Young Master Zhengzheng!"
The last person to be called "Young Master" was Senior Sister Jian Lin, the last female cultivator in the mortal realm to ascend to immortality.
An Zhengzheng felt no joy whatsoever.
Dong'er, unaware of this, continued to tell her, "Everyone saw the photo of the girl breaking the talisman's heart. They all praised the girl for her righteousness. At that time, she was only in the Qi Refining stage, yet she insisted on capturing the tiger despite the risk of disfigurement."
"Such a noble spirit truly deserves the title of 'Young Master'."
