To be able to take such a big leap is truly rare, especially since it's completely different from what's described in the book.
Isn't it said that when a cultivator creates an avatar, the avatar will undergo trials and tribulations in the mortal realm?
How did he end up in the world of cultivation?
That's really strange.
She sent a message to ask Master Suotang, and soon received a reply from Master Suotang.
"This matter should have been told to you after you reached the Golden Core stage, but it's not a secret, so there's no harm in telling you now. The reason why True Person Qingxu was able to transcend the cultivation level is because he went to the Cold Fire Pool."
The so-called Cold Fire Pool, as the name suggests, is a place of extreme cold and the fear of being burned by fire, which is used to elevate one's spiritual practice.
An Zhengzheng asked many detailed questions.
Master Suotang answered all the questions one by one. Finally, he asked in confusion, "You are currently in the Foundation Establishment stage, why are you asking these questions?"
"The suffering in the Frostfire Pool is unbearable for ordinary people. With your aptitude, normal cultivation is more than enough. There's no need for you to know about these things."
Anyway, he felt there was no need to suffer like this.
An Zhengzheng responded with a "yes" and then put away the jade slip.
An Qinghuan came to find her soon.
"Sister Zhengzheng, I have something to tell you..."
The new year's recruitment of mortal cultivators by sects is just around the corner. An Qinghuan couldn't wait for the joint examination of the seven major sects, so she decided to take the path of mortal cultivation.
She said, "I've made up my mind, I'm going to cultivate the Pill Sect."
She couldn't do what An Zhengzheng did, cultivating both the Path of Ruthlessness and the Pill Sect; being able to cultivate only one of them was already quite remarkable.
An Zhengzheng lowered her head slightly. The Dan Sect was wealthy, and the benefits of cultivating immortality in the later stages were great, which was suitable for An Qinghuan. If her uncle still refused to support her, she could support herself.
An Zhengzheng nodded and said, "The Pill Sect is good... Does Uncle know about it?"
It refers to Anping.
Ever since An Qinghuan ran away from home, An Ping has sent people over several times, but An Qinghuan has refused to come.
For An Qinghuan and An Yirou, the An family was a place where they could be forced to marry at any time.
An Zhengzheng's experience back then is still vivid in my mind.
Whether he agrees or not is none of my business!
An Qinghuan felt extremely uncomfortable when she recalled An Ping's words, calling her an unfilial daughter: "He probably wishes I wouldn't go back."
They always say the most hurtful things.
An Zhengzheng knew that she was unhappy, so she changed the subject and asked about the status of the storybook.
This immediately cheered An Qinghuan up: "You used to ask me to refer to various storybooks, and I learned a lot from them."
As she spoke, she took out another storybook and showed it to An Zhengzheng, her tone very excited: "Look, this book is also about a woman who went through all sorts of ups and downs and finally achieved success in her career!"
An Zhengzheng took it, glanced at the name, and saw it was signed "Madam Huang".
"Besides this one, are there any others?"
An Qinghuan then told her with great interest, "There's also this one, which is about the hardships faced by cultivators at the bottom of society."
The signature is "Sea Girl," so she should be a slightly younger girl.
An Qinghuan's eyes, just like An Yihuan's eyes back then, were bright and clear. She had finally found what she wanted to do.
"I also want to write good storybooks!"
An Zhengzheng encouraged her: "You can do it."
An Qinghuan was very happy.
This joy reached its peak a few days later.
Because the sea maiden who wrote the story came to the Hundred Women's Pavilion in person, and a man came with her.
That day, An Zhengzheng was still refining pills in the courtyard when Dong'er ran over to tell her, "Miss, two people have arrived, and Miss Qinghuan is overjoyed!"
"They say she's the Sea Maiden who writes storybooks!"
According to An Qinghuan, she is a storyteller devoted to the suffering of the cultivation world.
An Zhengzheng hosted them.
"It's just some simple tea, I hope you won't mind," An Zhengzheng said modestly.
Hai Girl was a very simple-looking person. An Zhengzheng only glanced at her book a few times, but her descriptions of the lower classes were indeed ruthless, daring to say things that ordinary people dared not say.
Unexpectedly, even after achieving fame and fortune, he remained a simple and honest person.
She said, "Thank you, Miss An! We don't mind." Then she introduced the male cultivator she had brought: "This is Young Master Zheng Xiaosha."
The male cultivator nodded somewhat stiffly.
An Zhengzheng smiled politely, but she couldn't figure out what they were there for.
Zheng Xiaosha smiled and introduced her, "Miss, you may not recognize me. My mother is Madam Huang."
It tells the story of a woman who overcame numerous hardships to achieve success.
An Zhengzheng suddenly realized, and the way she looked at them changed slightly.
She became more enthusiastic than before: "Oh... hello."
In this world of cultivation, there are very few people who share the same aspirations.
The two men told An Zhengzheng very sincerely, "Girl, you don't know."
"The young lady's creation of the Hundred Women's Pavilion is truly a model for us all! We..."
The two talked with An Zhengzheng for a long time, their words sincere, and they didn't come out until the whole afternoon.
After seeing them off, An Qinghuan came up to them nervously and asked, "Sister Zhengzheng, what... what are they here for?"
His eyes were full of anticipation.
An Zhengzheng told her truthfully: "Now the female cultivators in the cultivation world have their own source of income, and their lives have completely changed. Under this trend, they came up with the idea of writing a storybook to describe the process and significance of the creation of the Hundred Women Pavilion."
"So, Sister Zhengzheng, did you agree?"
An Qinghuan was very nervous; her lips were trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say on behalf of An Zhengzheng, "I agree, I completely agree."
An Zhengzheng shook her head and said, "They want to use me as a model."
"Isn't this better?"
"..."
An Zhengzheng remained silent for a long while.
In the establishment of Bai Nu Ge, An Zhengzheng did use herself as an example, but that was entirely out of necessity to utilize resources.
Given her beauty and her family background as a businessman, coupled with her limited financial resources at the time and low startup costs, she naturally wouldn't waste such a cost-free resource.
However, this was done to create hype and directly targeted women's focus at the time—beauty—which was the channel through which Bai Nu Ge quickly gained fame.
The time she subdued the mutated tiger, she destroyed her beauty to promote her inner character.
These have proven to be very useful.
She wasn't trying to promote herself or create a star image.
Moreover, An Zhengzheng not only used herself as a model, but also had special biographies of other female cultivators with their own characteristics, such as Lady Pei, printed on the back of the magazine.
But it seems that the girl from the sea wants to completely replicate An Zhengzheng's experience.
An Zhengzheng really didn't want to do this.
She was simply doing what she wanted to do and didn't want to create a god out of it.
She is not a god yet.
She doesn't deserve it.
Thinking about this, An Zhengzheng still shook her head decisively and said, "After careful consideration, it's still not suitable."
At this moment, An Zhengzheng was absolutely certain that this decision was the right one.
