Staring at the mosquito net above her head, she had absolutely no sleepiness!
She had no choice but to release her Divine Sense out of boredom, but as soon as it extended, she unexpectedly swept across the man next door who was taking a bath. However, his physique was like that of a white-cut chicken, which simply made Su Jiaojiao feel utterly hopeless.
Because... there was nothing to look at! Absolutely nothing to look at!
This place is not like the male Cultivators in the Cultivation World; never mind the skin and face, just those abs, those long legs, that... *ahem*.
Thinking of this, her previously wide but listless eyes gradually curved into a lewd arc.
This couldn't help but remind her of when she was only at the early Foundation Establishment Stage and went to check out the Cave Mansions of those Senior Brothers.
Especially that of the Fourth Senior Brother; if other Senior Brothers discovered you, at most they would scold you loudly like a shrew and send a Flying Sword your way. Whether you dodged it or not, the matter would pass.
But the Fourth Senior Brother wouldn't!
He would immediately show off his biceps and that chest that jiggled with every movement, generously letting you look, and then give you a Seductive Glance, asking if you were satisfied with his physique...
Su Jiaojiao: ...
From that time on, she never raided his Cave Mansion again.
Because something given freely is not precious!
If she didn't snatch it, she, Su Jiaojiao, wouldn't want it!
Thinking of this, her eyes, which had been shining lewdly, narrowed slightly.
To think that she, the dignified Glazed Immortal Venerable, had one of her few regrets on her thousand-year path of cultivation—it had to be Eldest Senior Brother Qing Feng!
Back when she was only at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, she dared to climb the wall of the Cave Mansion belonging to a Cultivator who was already at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, just one step away from Great Perfection. ^O^
Because the higher a Cultivator's cultivation level, the harder it is for them to accumulate dust; even if they do, a single Dust Cleansing Art can handle it.
So, when she finally caught Eldest Senior Brother going to soak in the Hot Spring, she hid herself to raid his Cave Mansion. She had just caught sight of the Hot Spring when Eldest Senior Brother discovered her.
Before she could see anything, a Flying Sword shot straight toward her face.
As expected, she started fighting him （ one-sidedly beaten ）. In the end, it was Second Senior Sister who carried the unconscious her back. She then lay in bed for nearly half a year before fully recovering.
Afterward, she was extorted out of quite a few good items by Eldest Senior Brother.
His pretext was repairing the damaged Cave Mansion.
Su Jiaojiao's heart bled when she handed over those items, but there was nothing she could do; circumstances were stronger than people.
She couldn't beat him!
That wasn't all; from then on, that fussy Man actually started guarding against her. Not only did he set up a Barrier outside his Cave Mansion, but he also added a Formation.
This completely ignited her desire to challenge him.
Because the more difficult a Man is to conquer... *ahem*... appealing!
In order to figure out how to silently break through his Barrier and Formation, she could only rack her brains studying them.
Then, she went to court death time and time again, was beaten to death time and time again, and then that fussy Man would increase the difficulty of the Formation and Barrier every single time.
Without exception!
The benefits she gained from this were quite substantial. Setting aside her attainments in invisibility techniques, Formations, and Barriers, even her sword techniques, honed through being beaten, were rapidly improving.
It became quite a piece of news in the Sect.
The Shifu and several True Monarchs above were happily watching the show, occasionally chiming in with a few jokes. Moreover, regardless of whether they were Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, or direct disciples, those in the Sect who loved drama set up a betting pool.
They bet on when this Glazed True Person—her—would finally achieve her wish of seeing the face of Qing Feng True Person.
But alas~ she hadn't succeeded even by the time she cultivated to the Mahayana Stage.
Why bring up her Mahayana Stage? Because when she was in the mid-Mahayana Stage, Eldest Senior Brother achieved Ascension.
It was only on the eve of his Ascension that he came to find her. Seeing the person standing at the entrance of the Cave Mansion, looking as if he had something to say but couldn't, made Su Jiaojiao's eyes light up.
She thought that, considering her years of tireless effort, he might have a moment of conscience before his Ascension and grant her long-held wish.
However, when the question finally came out, Eldest Senior Brother’s face turned ashen. He snorted coldly and flew away.
Leaving behind only his indifferent back.
Thinking about it now, Su Jiaojiao still grinds her teeth in frustration.
If she truly couldn't beat him, she would definitely tie him up and look!
Before the Foundation Establishment Stage, she wasn't like this!
At that time, she was someone who would hide upon seeing any Man, someone who would absolutely avoid contact with Men if possible.
Before stepping onto the path of cultivation, she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Her Mother was taking her, then only nine years old, out in a carriage when they were suddenly seized by a black-robed immortal flying from the horizon just outside the city.
He killed her Mother and all the servants right in front of her, and ignoring her crying and struggling, he knocked her unconscious and took her away.
She then woke up to the sound of a woman screaming hoarsely.
She saw the black-robed Man who had knocked her out and taken her pressing down on another naked woman, forcing himself upon her despite her struggles and cries.
At that time, Su Jiaojiao was terrified. She didn't understand what they were doing and could only clamp her mouth shut tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
As time passed little by little, the struggling strength of that woman grew weaker, and her cries grew fainter.
Then, Su Jiaojiao watched with her own eyes as the face, which had been as young and beautiful as an eighteen or nineteen-year-old Big Sister, slowly aged, wrinkles appearing, and her hair turning white until she became a lifeless dried corpse.
Su Jiaojiao watched this scene for three years!
The crying and despair in the eyes of her Mother and countless other women filled her dreams every night.
During that time, that Man always made her eat strange medicines. Every time she finished, her lower abdomen would hurt so much that she rolled around on the ground.
And that Man would just stand by the side, watching with satisfaction.
It wasn't until three years later that she was taken back by her current Shifu, Jade Visage True Monarch, the Sect Master of the Cloud Clear Sect.
She would never forget him—the one holding a whisk, dressed in white robes, and sporting a long beard, who pushed the door open.
The sunlight was perfect that day; he entered against the light, and that light became the salvation of Su Jiaojiao's entire life!
Later, she learned that the black-robed Man who abducted her was an evil cultivator who specialized in capturing female Cultivators to use for his Yin-Harvesting and Yang-Supplementing practices. The higher the female Cultivator's cultivation, the greater the benefit to him.
Heh~
The reason he abducted her, a Mortals with no cultivation, was because she possessed the Pure Yin Body.
The Pure Yin Body is a Furnace Body constitution privately acknowledged throughout the entire Cultivation World.
Afterward, she became the seventh disciple of Jade Visage True Monarch, the Sect Master of the Cloud Clear Sect, who even brought her to his own Shifu, her grand-Shifu, asking the old man to personally seal her Furnace Body constitution.
That experience once became her Inner Demon.
During that period, apart from her Shifu, any other Man who approached her would startle her like a frightened bird, causing her to cry immediately.
It was manageable during the Qi Refining Stage, the most basic cultivation phase, but every time she broke through a major realm, she had to undergo the process of Asking the Dao, Questioning the Heart, and Overcoming the Inner Demon.
When crossing the threshold to the Foundation Establishment Stage, she almost failed to pass.
She nearly perished during the trial of overcoming the Inner Demon.
Fortunately, the door that Shifu pushed open while saving her became the light that saved her in the darkness.
Not only did it pull her out of the mire she was in, but that light that saved her also cleaved open the part of her trapped by the Inner Demon.
Allowing her to cross that first threshold, which also changed her destiny.
This memory is laid out as a foundation for the future!
