The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Slaying the Crimson Dragon can't be done too early or too late; it requires the right opportunity. In cultivation, it's usually taught by the mother herself.

However, Lin Du was still young when he entered the sect, and he is only fourteen years old now. He also has a master who knows nothing about this matter. During the day, Jiang Liang took Lin Du's pulse and then carefully instructed his disciple upon returning.

Xia Tian Wuben didn't really regard Lin Du as a senior uncle. In her eyes, Lin Du was just a child who had just entered the sect and hadn't grown up yet. It was only natural for him to teach her the Female Alchemy Technique.

There is no one more suitable than medical practitioners to teach women alchemy.

Xia Tian turned to look at Lin Du after closing the door, only to find that Lin Du had already picked up the book herself. "Why didn't the internal alchemy cultivation method I read before mention this?"

The child wasn't wearing a hairnet today, and as he read, stray hairs fell in front of his eyes. The bright lights made his usually pale face appear warmer and healthier.

She was reading intently, and Xia Tian didn't speak until she turned the page, "It's probably because Grandmaster Uncle didn't know this at all."

Lin Du raised an eyebrow. "...Reasonable, very reasonable."

It's a good thing that Yan Ye didn't raise her to death.

After reading the female alchemy manual, Lin Du looked up at Xia Tianwu and asked, "Do you want memorize it?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's okay if you can't remember. I'll teach you the first time, and I'll remind you if you can't remember."

Those who follow the rules become adults, those who go against them become immortals; this is a hurdle that must be overcome.

Lin Du closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind for a moment. "I think I've memorized it, but I still need to memorize the mnemonic again."

Xia Tianwu was taken aback for a moment, "You've memorized all of that?"

"The specific wording is slightly different," Lin Du lazily flipped open the book and continued looking at the parts he couldn't remember. "It's only about six or seven hundred words in total, not bad. I remember the process, but I haven't memorized the formula yet."

Mind maps are incredibly useful. When I write things down, I first record the main points and then fill in the details.

Xia Tianwu looked at it as if it were a rare and strange thing, wishing he could cut open Lin Du's brain himself to see it. "It is said that the ancestor of Lin Tuan also had such a photographic memory back then."

"I don't have a photographic memory, I just remember things quickly." Lin Du keenly sensed Xia Tianwu's probing thoughts, held the scriptures in silence for a moment, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"What kind of teaching method are you referring to?"

Xia Tian gestured to the bed. "Go upstairs."

"I think I can do it." Lin Du paused for a moment, "Really."

Xia Tian keenly noticed Lin Du's unnatural behavior. Ordinary people would have different physical sensations when practicing martial arts, and would inevitably want to ask questions. Lin Du's attitude was clearly like avoiding the problem.

"I am a medical cultivator. In the eyes of a medical cultivator, everyone is the same. There is no difference between a person and a piglet. Don't be afraid."

Lin Du paused for a moment, then said, "I know I'm just a little piglet in your eyes."

In Lin Du's eyes, everyone else's bodies were nothing more than lab rats.

But Lin Du is well aware of her own problems; the influence of her family of origin on her is not small, and can even be said to be ubiquitous.

She has a severe avoidant attachment style and is not good at handling overly intimate relationships, whether it's friendship or romantic love. As for family relationships, she lacks those.

Lin Du's usual practice is to approach someone and then quickly distance himself.

But Xia Tianwu was her second apprentice nephew, her second mission target, and she couldn't break free from him no matter what she did.

Summer is nothing but Mo Lin, and he is not easily fooled.

Lin Du took a deep breath and, under Xia Tian's indifferent gaze, silently climbed onto the other's soft couch and obediently began to cultivate.

Anyway, it's only for a short while, so let her look at it, just like going to the hospital to see a doctor.

The female alchemy manual says, "First, one must calm the mind. When the mind is calm and settled, the spirit is clear, and the mind is cool."

Lin Du closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

Xia Tian lit some incense and guided Lin Du in his practice. Holding Lin Du's hand, she found the correct positions for each point. She seemed to notice Lin Du's stiffness and unnaturalness, but she only touched on the points briefly. Fortunately, Lin Du was quick to understand and had an excellent memory. He remembered the movements after being guided by her hand just once.

Lin Du tried hard to find the warm feeling described in the book, but at first he couldn't quite get it. Suddenly, a light tap was applied to his dantian.

Summer's fingertips are warm, so when they touch Lin Du's cold skin, they feel especially warm.

"Don't rush, take your time. You're not wrong, I'm watching."

With a firm resolve, Lin Du no longer cared about the strange feeling of wanting to escape. He smoothly felt the warmth and passed through Kunlun Mountain, descending to Niwan Mountain, and suddenly felt as vast as the sea.

Xia Tianwu had already discovered that this child was a leader among children in Wailin Ferry. He would grant Ni Jinxuan's every request, but if anyone took the initiative to get close, this child would freeze up with nervousness.

She didn't have that kind of perverse sense of humor; she just found it strange.

It seems her junior uncle is not what she expected.

No matter how capable and independent Lin Du is on the outside, upon closer examination, he is nothing more than a child who has never been taught by his mother.

Lin Du opened her eyes after completing her third practice session and was startled by Xia Tian's unfeeling gaze. She cautiously asked, "Tian Wu?"

"Hey." Xia Tianwu took her pulse. "Practicing the cultivation is correct. Do it three times a day for a hundred days. If there are any unusual symptoms during this period that you are unsure about, come and find me, Junior Uncle."

The tone was like coaxing a child.

Lin Du nodded, got up and left the bed, and the last bit of unease in his heart dissipated.

You treat me like a daughter, and I treat you like a junior apprentice; we each have our own roles.

She thanked him, but then felt that saying it like that was too distant, so she smiled and said, "Second nephew, if you need any medicinal herbs or any help, you can come to me."

Xia Tian patted her head gently, his gaze softening. "There's no need for us to be so distant. Don't feel burdened."

As soon as the door was opened, a dark shadow appeared in the yard—a furry and somewhat emaciated black bear spirit.

Lin Du remained calm under pressure, quickly slamming the door shut. After regaining his composure, he opened the door again. "Senior nephew? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Mo Lin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Junior Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Lin Du had a strange feeling of being caught in the act, but he was still indignant and felt justified. "You're here to practice martial arts with my second nephew, what do you want with him?"

Mo Lin awkwardly avoided Lin Du's gaze. "I also practice martial arts."

Lin Du: ...What, you're on your period too?

Perhaps Lin Du's expression was too incomprehensible for a moment, and Mo Lin also felt it was outrageous, but he still stood still.

Summer stepped out of the house, interrupting the strange standoff between the two.

"What's wrong?"

"I ate too much without realizing it, so I'm planning to do a little kung fu tonight to help digest it."

Mo Lin spoke vaguely, and by the end his voice was almost as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Xia Tianwu understood in an instant, his voice turning cold, "You got too excited during practice and forgot your limits, breaking your bones in the process?"

Lin Du: ...As expected of you guys.

Summer, with a cold face, carried Mo Lin into the house for bone setting and treatment.

Lin Du calmly left with his hands behind his back.

She had experienced and seen too much that night; she needed to go back to sleep and calm down.
