Pawning lifespan, starting from a low-level martial arts world to transform into a dragon.

Chapter 105 Why should a great man worry about not having a wife?

As the passengers on board became more familiar with each other, the atmosphere in the cabin gradually improved.

The young masters and ladies from noble families felt that their exchange of insights was not yet complete, so they took the opportunity to talk about the profound principles of martial arts.

Some people share the subtle changes in their body's blood and qi during the transformation process, while others share how to control and enhance their five senses after transformation.

The passengers listened intently, occasionally interjecting with questions or rebuttals, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere in the cabin.

Cui Xijun stood up gracefully and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, I have recently been organizing the martial arts in my family and have gained some insights into the transformation process. I would like to share some of them with you."

When Wang Shiyan heard that Cui Xijun was also going to make a statement, his eyes lit up.

He immediately became interested and praised her highly, saying, "The Third Miss is known as a talented woman who can sculpt eyebrows, and she must have some brilliant insights to share today!"

Speak quickly, we are all ears.

"These are just some basic thoughts," Cui Xijun smiled slightly and continued, "I've been pondering something lately: what is meant by 'transformation'? What are your thoughts?"

Wang Shiyan pondered for a moment before replying, "In my humble opinion, the core meaning of 'rebirth' is a complete transformation, that is, a fundamental metamorphosis and reshaping of the physical body through cultivation."

Cui Xijun nodded in agreement, saying, "Young Master Wang is right, but how will this transformation occur?"

Wang Shiyan replied, "Each school has its own methods. Some emphasize accumulating true qi, using it to fill the flesh and blood and transform; others focus on replenishing qi and blood, transforming from the inside out through the influence of thought. I wonder what the Third Miss's opinion is?"

"In my view, the key to transformation lies in the three words 'transformation through the hands.' This 'transformation' doesn't mean changing the physical form, but rather shedding the accumulated toxins, burdens, and old wounds within the body. It's not about simply pouring essence into the flesh and blood, forcing the body to passively adapt."

"Many people are eager to make progress quickly when they are undergoing transformation, wishing they could undergo two transformations in a month. As a result, they find it difficult to make any further progress afterward. The root cause lies in the fact that the impurities have not been cleared away."

A young lady from a prominent family pondered for a moment and said, "Third Miss's words are quite novel. I've only ever heard of the importance of accumulating qi and blood and cultivating true qi in the process of rebirth. This concept of 'eliminating turbid qi' is something I've never heard before."

"Accumulating true qi is important, but if the turbid qi in the body is not removed, it is like the mud at the bottom of a pond. No matter how much water there is, it will become muddy as soon as it is stirred."

Cui Xijun looked at everyone and said eloquently, "From what Brother Wang just said about the method of circulating true qi, if we can first use the power of medicine and external force to remove the chronic illness in the body, and then accumulate it, perhaps the subsequent transformation will be much smoother."

Wang Shiyan was taken aback upon hearing this. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly his face lit up with realization. He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Third Miss, your words have awakened me from my dream. I've been trapped in my seventh rebirth for a whole year, trying various methods to no avail, but I never considered the possibility of turbid qi obstructing my path. Thank you for your guidance!"

Cui Xijun smiled and continued, "I wouldn't dare. We've gathered here today to speak freely and share our knowledge."

In the path of spiritual practice, the worst thing is to isolate oneself and become complacent.

With Cui Xijun leading the way, everyone at the table shared their insights based on what they had learned that day.

From external refinement to the circulation of true qi, from changes in the physical body to the corresponding functions of the five internal organs —

One insight after another fell like pearls on a plate, bringing the atmosphere of the discussion to its peak.

Many young people present who had not yet reached the level of dragon and elephant gained something valuable.

The discussion ended close to afternoon.

Someone compiled the opinions of many people into a book called "The Collection of Unrelated Essays". Although many of the views in it are not considered famous works, they are enough to be passed down as the foundation of each school of thought.

For a time, everyone came with high spirits and left with great enjoyment.

After everyone had left, Cui Xijun kept Chen Ye alone, took out several name cards from her sleeve, and handed them to him.

"I've taken note of the women from humble backgrounds present at today's gathering. This fourth young lady from the Wen family, whose father is a clerk in the Ministry of Works, comes from a scholarly family, though not of high status. From her speech and manners, I've observed that she is a well-educated and reasonable person. The other two are similar, both gentle and considerate, showing kindness and understanding. If you think they are suitable, I'll send a letter on your behalf to sound them out."

Chen Ye took the name card and glanced at it, the images of those women involuntarily appearing in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, on the boat, these girls all crowded around the young master of the Wang family.

He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss. I have no intention of getting married at the moment."

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, Cui Xijun frowned slightly.

She looked at Chen Ye and spoke softly, her tone earnest: "Do you know why I arranged all this for you at the discussion conference?"

Chen Ye lowered his head and said, "Please enlighten me, Miss Third."

Cui Xijun said earnestly, "Although you are now a scholar and a retainer of the Cui family, in this capital, the status of a scholar is merely a formality. You have no affiliation, no family to rely on, and the title of top martial arts examinee alone is not enough to earn you any respect."

She sighed softly and said, "I don't mean to belittle you. It's precisely because I admire your talent that I don't want you to be limited by your background. If you can find a suitable marriage at this time, even if the other party is from a poor family, it will be a great help to you. If you have children in the future, you will have a foundation. If you work hard for one or two generations, you may be able to create a prestigious Chen family."

Chen Ye raised his head and met Cui Xijun's earnest and clear peach blossom eyes.

He knew the other person was telling the truth.

In the Great Jing Kingdom, where social status is highly valued, a person's birth almost entirely determines the upper limit of their life.

"Think it through. If you take this step well now, the future will be bright."

Chen Ye remained silent for a moment, then finally cupped his hands and said, "I am grateful for the Third Miss's kindness, and I understand her good intentions. However, even if I had such thoughts, she might not be interested in me."

The Third Miss saw it today too. Those other young ladies were only talking to me a few more times because of her. If the Third Miss weren't there, they wouldn't even glance at me. How can a forced relationship be sweet?

"It is precisely because marriage is so important that I must be extremely cautious and dare not make such a decision so easily."

After listening silently, Cui Xijun let out a long, helpless sigh.

She knew that Chen Ye was telling the truth.

I was just too hasty.

"Then it's up to you. If you change your mind someday, let me know as soon as possible."

Now that Chen Ye has Madam Zhou, a close friend who is always at his beck and call, he has no desire to waste his time on women.

He looked directly at Ziguang, clasped his hands in a fist, and said calmly, "A true man only worries about not achieving fame and fortune, not about not having a wife. If Miss San is truly interested in me, why not give me a chance to make a name for myself?"

Cui Xijun sensed a hidden meaning in Chen Ye's words, her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked curiously, "What do you want?"

"I wish to go to Danfeng County."
