What a genius idea.

Chu Qing’s doubts vanished in an instant. He finally comprehended why Tang Ziyan had referred to his prescription as a poison prescription and why Mrs. Ye was able to absorb Spirit Stones to enhance herself. At that moment, he considered it a stroke of genius.

All of this was intertwined with the connection between internal strength and spiritual power. Internal strength derived from spiritual power, but why did women have to make things so complicated? They didn’t directly utilize spiritual power, yet they insisted on involving themselves in unnecessary matters. Chu Qing found it exasperating.

Chu Qing thought that perhaps he knew what was going on. This was because the meridians of the women in this world would mutate when they were born. They would break inch by inch once they absorbed too much spiritual energy. It was just like the reaction when Chu Qing injected a trace of pure spiritual energy into Ye Chenxi’s body that night.

On the other hand, it wasn’t an issue for women to practice ancient martial arts and convert spiritual energy into internal energy. Prior to the emergence of ancient martial arts, there was no distinction in status between women and men. In fact, women were even considered weaker compared to men. That’s why Chu Qing regarded ancient martial arts practitioners as geniuses. They possessed the ability to transcend such limitations and achieve extraordinary feats.

The appearance of ancient martial arts had changed a woman’s strength and everything. The reason why Mrs. Ye could absorb spiritual power without being injured because the spiritual power in the Spirit Stone was gentle. Martial arts practitioners also needed to absorb spiritual power to cultivate, so there was no problem.

That prescription used medicinal power to forcefully infuse spiritual power into the body. The spiritual power contained in it was violent. When a woman’s meridians exceeded the critical point of spiritual power, they would break. This was also the reason for the so-called poison prescription.

As for why women’s meridians were born with mutations, Chu Qing knew that it was not something he could investigate at his current stage. It might be related to the origin of this world.

What he wanted to do was to modify this ancient martial arts technique so that men could cultivate without hurting themselves. He learned that in this world, men could cultivate Tao techniques.

That was precisely what Chu Qing was currently cultivating, but there were advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. If Chu Qing’s assumption was correct, Tao techniques were akin to the Great Tao, but the path was arduous. It required time and dedicated effort to reach a certain level. However, as time passed, the effectiveness of Dao techniques would naturally decline.

On the other hand, ancient martial arts were like a shortcut. It could increase one’s strength in a short period of time and was extremely lethal. The only flaw was that one’s future was not there yet, and one’s lifespan could not be increased.

Therefore, according to Chu Qing’s perspective, it wasn’t feasible to promote Tao techniques in this world to elevate the strength of men and alter the gender dynamics. However, he believed that he could explore the expedited path of ancient martial arts. Naturally, if he wanted to undertake this endeavor, he would have to lead by example. He would have to be the first to venture into uncharted territory.

While Chu Qing was organizing his thoughts, Ye Chenxi had already quietly absorbed the medicinal power of the ambrosia. Her physique had been improved by the ambrosia, and the original bottleneck had disappeared. Not only had Ye Chenxi entered the Martial realm, but she had also jumped three grades in a row and directly reached the strength of a third-stage Martial realm.

Ye Chenxi opened her eyes and felt the changes in her body. Her eyes lit up and she stared at Chu Qing in the next moment. Hadn’t this man always been stronger than her? Now, she wanted to test her strength against him.

Ye Chenxi abruptly leaped off the mattress and launched a punch, generating a gust of wind as it aimed directly at Chu Qing’s handsome face.

Seeing this, Chu Qing shook his head secretly and was a little vexed. This woman’s competitiveness was still so strong. She didn’t look like a “woman” at all.

Chu Qing reached out and grabbed Ye Chenxi’s fist. His palm shone brightly. Chu Qing quickly stopped the fist with more than a thousand kilograms of strength.

Holding Ye Chenxi in his arms, Chu Qing pressed his mouth against Ye Chenxi’s ear and said, “Woman, you’re too arrogant..”
