"Menstrual blood... I actually started quite late, not at the normal age," Zhu Pingniang shook her finger. "So... itâs not a problem for Ms. Yun to be late."
"Eh... Did you also start late, sister?" Miss Luâs eyes widened.
It was the first time sheâd heard this.
"I was very late, almost twenty years old... Ms. Gu had to use some special methods to open my Spirit Road." Zhu Pingniang fondly touched her lower abdomen and smiled. "So, itâs nothing for Ms. Yun to be a few years later than me."
"... No, thatâs not right," Miss Lu was a bit confused. She paused for a moment, looking at Zhu Pingniangâs physique, which didnât quite match her appearance.
All the new girls in Flower Moon Building were under her care, so despite not being a medicine student, she deliberately looked up medical books and understood everything clearly.
For example, menstruation, starting menstrual blood is a sign of a female beginning to develop.
At seven, a girlâs kidney energy is strong, her teeth grow and hair lengthens.
At fourteen, menstruation comes, the Ren Meridian opens, the Tai Chong Meridian thrives, and monthly flow occurs regularly.
At twenty-one, kidney energy balances, hence true teeth grow fully.
At forty-nine, the Ren Meridian weakens, Tai Chong Meridian declines, menstruation ceases, and the path closes...
And so on and so forth...
That means, around fourteen, menstrual blood symbolizes growth, itâs the period of fastest body growth.
So, does Ms. Zhuâs poor physique relate to her late menstruation, missing the best growth period of her body?
"No, also not right..." Suddenly remembering something, Miss Lu quickly shifted her gaze from Zhu Pingniangâs chest to Yun Qianâs, shook her head slightly, and denied her thought.
Miss Yun didnât have menstrual blood either, yet her figure was excellent.
"So, sister, your body has nothing to do with menstrual blood, you were just naturally meant to grow this way," Miss Lu applied her previous learning.
"...???"
Listening to Miss Luâs words, Zhu Pingniang had several question marks floating over her head.
Though Miss Lu didnât clearly say what she meant, Zhu Pingniang understood right away what was on her mind when she started talking.
What is this dead girl saying?
What does her figure have to do with menstrual blood?
"What are you thinking? I wrapped it with White Silk when I was young." Zhu Pingniang was bold enough to reveal a bit of regret in front of a group of girls without needing to be shy.
When younger, she thought women were troublesome, now she just regrets it, deeply regrets it.
"Wrapping the chest with White Silk... Speaking of it, when menstrual blood comes, you need this too, so sister, you found a substitute," Miss Lu chuckled.
"I see youâre asking for trouble." Zhu Pingniangâs eye twitched.
"Alright, just kidding..." Miss Lu conceded, hesitating a bit.
Even though theyâre all girls, she didnât really want to talk about womenâs menstruation in front of so many people, itâs indeed a bit embarrassing...
But thinking about Miss Yun not having menstrual blood, she still wanted to understand more, especially since she had only heard Zhu Pingniangâs side, not entirely relieved.
If Wen Li could corroborate Zhu Pingniangâs words, that would be great.
"Ms. Zhu, youâve always said... menstrual blood benefits cultivation, what exactly is the situation?"
"Didnât I tell you before?" Zhu Pingniang glared at her. "Youâre treating my words as wind by the ear, arenât you."
"Not that... There are too many people around." Miss Lu said, gesturing secretly towards Wen Li, who was resting with closed eyes by Zhu Pingniangâs side. "Sister, you... say once more."
"...?" Zhu Pingniang was taken aback, then her eye twitched gently.
Itâs about Wen Li saying it.
But why?
Do you think Wen Li would be shy?
Want to see Wen Liâs shy expression?
Wen Li probably wouldnât care about this.
What kind of strange play is LuâEr doing...
However, Zhu Pingniang didnât hesitate long and still fulfilled Miss Luâs wish.
"Ah Li, Iâm too lazy to say anything more about menstrual blood, youâve reached the pinnacle of Spirit Road now, explain it to them, so as not to waste my breath... hmph, anyway, no one listens when I speak."
"...Me?" Wen Li slowly opened her eyes, and after meeting Yun Qianâs curious gaze, she paused slightly.
Junior Sister Yun was clearly too tired to keep her eyes open earlier. Now mentioning menstrual blood, she suddenly seemed so energized?
Wen Li looked at Zhu Pingniang, seeing a smile at the corner of her mouth, she instantly understood everything.
Zhu Pingniang also knew Yun Qian was interested in menstrual blood due to its connection to children... So she deliberately brought up this topic to maintain Yun Qianâs interest... The rest, was unimportant.
Wen Li nodded and began explaining:
"The Lower Elixir Field in women is located three inches below the navel, near the Guanyuan and Middle Extreme Acupoints, used initially for storing Spiritual Qi and converting it to Spiritual Power during cultivation." Wen Li spoke this, which Yun Qian already knew, so she wasnât surprised.
"Three inches below the navel?" Rather, Miss Lu, upon hearing, placed one hand on her lower abdomen, looking at her.
"Yes, right here." Wen Li, noticing âJunior Luâ was also interested, spoke more gently. "Womenâs initial cultivation is somewhat simpler; every month the Spirit Road opens once, benefiting cultivation."
"This position... still benefits cultivation... Sure enough, what Ms. Zhu said was right." Miss Lu sighed softly. "Itâs really strange, menstrual blood is such an uncomfortable thing, yet beneficial to the Immortal Sect... Is there anything stranger in the world?"
