Yun Ji

The challenges a female cultivator has to overcome on her life journey are countless.
She mustn’t lack in talent, cultivation techniques, medicinal pills or magic weapons. Otherwise, her cultivation will progress too slowly.
She also mustn’t have too many emotions, weaknesses, kindness, or greed - if she has these in excess, she'll soon be saying hello to death.
Moreover, she mustn't look either too pretty or ugly.  Although she mustn’t be stupid, she also mustn't be too smart.
With all this in mind, a certain female cultivator sighs. Why's it so hard to become an Immortal?

Henyee Translations

Lady Cultivator

As long as they found the skeleton, they could obtain the wealth a peak stage Nascent Soul cultivator accumulated his whole life. That might seem like a very good deal, but...

Mo Tiange revealed a faint smile. "Senior, your wife was a cultivator who lived 5,000 years ago, so her burial place will certainly be hard to find. Moreover, she was a Nascent Soul cultivator; how dangerous would her burial place be? Since your wife was an outstanding disciple of Xuanji School, I'm afraid her formation skills certainly wouldn't lose out to Senior's, right? We're only Foundation Building cultivators—how can we guarantee we can bring her skeleton back safely?"

"Yes," Daoist Fangzheng cut in and said, "Before we obtain any benefits, we have to endure all kinds of dangers first; this deal isn't fair."
