Chapter 162 Special Physique
Yun Xi didn't know that Wei Yunqing was stranded in Baohua Mountains. If she knew, she would definitely sigh. This was clearly an opportunity for training created by heaven for Wei Yunqing. It was like forcing her to improve her combat experience, and she would probably also be given some rare treasures.

If Yun Xi was nearby, she would definitely rush over as soon as possible, and then follow behind Wei Yunqing to intercept the other party's opportunity. Unfortunately, Yun Xi is still in the mortal world at this time, but they have already walked most of the way, and I believe they will return to the world of cultivation soon.

Just as Wei Yunqing began his own difficult training, Yun Xi and the others had rested in Jinyun City for two days and were preparing to continue on their journey.

But before leaving the inn, the boss kindly reminded:
"Dear guests, Jinyun City is going to hold an Oiran Contest. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay and join in the fun."

"Oiran Contest? Is it a beauty pageant?"

Yun Xi asked quickly.

"Yes, the contestants include not only the most beautiful courtesans from Jinyun City's brothels, but also the top courtesans from several nearby towns. There are both men and women, all of whom are prostitutes with clean backgrounds.

After participating in the Oiran Contest, these people's value will increase. Those who can become the most beautiful of the best will be sent to the capital and have the opportunity to sing and dance for the emperor. Therefore, all ambitious Oirans flock to them.

Liu Haotian and Yu Qingcheng showed little interest after hearing this. Their Baihua Tower only accepted disciples based on appearance, and any one of them could beat the beauties in the mortal world, so they were not very interested in staying to watch the fun.

Xia You had never been to the mortal world before, and he just wanted to join in the fun, and was obviously tempted.

Yun Xi was more interested in the ancient beauty pageant and wanted to see it live, so she smiled and asked the shopkeeper:
"When will the Oiran Contest be held?"

"Your arrival is opportune, my dear guests. Today we will have a parade of courtesans, which is the official appearance of all the courtesans."

"In that case, let's go join in the fun."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately asked:

"We have to keep the rooms for those distinguished guests. If you cancel, they won't be available by the time you return from the parade."

Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled. It turned out that the shopkeeper was waiting here. She immediately said proudly:

"Then stay here, let's go watch the fun first."

"Okay, I wish you all a happy time."

The shopkeeper sent the few people out of the door and then walked into the store with a smile. He liked to receive distinguished guests like this who were not troublesome, generous and not pretentious.

Liu Haotian and Yu Qingcheng both thought that Yun Xi was childish and just wanted to join in the fun, so they didn't object. After the four of them went onto the main street, they were slowly surrounded by the crowd.

However, no matter how many people were around them, the four of them always walked together and were not separated.

Carriages pulling the courtesans passed one after another on the main street. The courtesans, who were dressed up carefully, tried their best to show their best side. There were really handsome men and beautiful women, and it felt like the flowers were so numerous that they were dazzling.

There are people responsible for building momentum around each float, who throw coins or purses around from time to time to attract more onlookers. They also take the opportunity to publicize the advantages and charm of their own top dancers, hoping to win more supporters.

Most of the common people gathered on the main street to watch the courtesan's float. The rich and powerful people in the city booked all the teahouses and restaurants along the street, and watched the fun from the second floor, looking down at it and commenting on it from time to time.

Yun Xi was just trying to feel the atmosphere, and she found it quite interesting. It was also a novel experience, but Liu Haotian and Yu Qingcheng beside her looked at her with increasingly strange expressions. Even Xia You noticed, and she sent a voice message:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, is there anything wrong?" Yu Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."

The parade of the oiran ended before sunset, and there was a second talent show, where one could go and watch the performance of their favorite oiran alone, so Yun Xi and his group returned to the inn.

This time, Liu Haotian called Yun Xi and told her about their discovery today.

After hearing what the two of them said, Yun Xi's brain started working quickly. She thought and said:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, what you're saying is that these courtesans aren't just pretty; most of them have special physiques. The women have pure yin bodies, and the men have pure yang bodies. If I remember correctly, people with these physiques can enter the Dao and practice cultivation. And once they succeed, they can become top-notch human-shaped furnace cauldrons."

Yu Qingcheng nodded immediately and said:
"Master Wei is right."

"Then how did you tell them apart?"

Yun Xi was curious about this. She was now a Jindan Zhenren, and her consciousness could reach the early stage of the Spirit Transformation when not compressed. It made no sense that she didn't notice it but was discovered by two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yu Qingcheng blinked her eyes and explained with a smile:
"In our Baihua Tower, half of the cultivators are practicing magic and half are practicing Taoism. There are also those who specialize in dual cultivation techniques. This technique has certain requirements for physical fitness. I exchanged a dual cultivation technique from a fellow magic cultivator, which contains the formula for probing physical fitness.

It was Senior Brother Liu who reminded me today that these courtesans were all seeking death. I then used my hand gestures to investigate and discovered that these courtesans all had very special physiques.

If there were only one or two, it could be considered a coincidence, but if half of the ten people have special physiques, then there is a problem. We monks distrust coincidence the most."

After hearing this, Yun Xi and Xia You suddenly realized that they had really gone to watch the fun, but Yu Daoyou and the other two had discovered something unusual.

Yu Qingcheng smiled and said:

"You two are still young, so it's normal that you haven't noticed these things. If you are interested, I can teach you this little trick of detection."

"Hehe, if you can't ask for it, I'll be very sorry to refuse."

Yun Xi agreed shamelessly. Don’t underestimate this little trick. It can be very useful at critical moments.

After explaining how they discovered the anomaly, they returned to the main topic.

Yun Xi expressed her guess based on her previous experience reading Xianxia novels:

"Since Fellow Daoist Liu has made a discovery, do you suspect that this was done by an evil cultivator? They selected people with special physiques in the mortal world, then sent them to the cultivation world to be used as furnaces and cultivated from a young age.

Moreover, most of these mortals have clean backgrounds and are not involved in any family power. After successfully cultivating the furnace, can they be sent to the hands of some monks who are nearing the end of their lifespan or are eager to break through?

First, we can make those who ask for help owe us a favor, second, we can infiltrate the major sects and families in the cultivation world, and third, we can gather more useful information so that the evil cultivators can have the capital to fight against us."

Yu Qingcheng, Liu Haotian and Xia You became more and more frightened the more they listened. They felt that the calculations of these evil cultivators were too far-reaching. If they really succeeded, the Wei Yu Realm would be in danger.

In fact, Yun Xi's guess is close to part of the truth. This has to start from the time when Yun Xi and his team disrupted the evil cultivators' kidnapping.

Xiafei Valley is one of them. The evil cultivators attacked the direct disciple of Jiuyue Zhenjun of the Immortal Demon Sect, so they are paid attention to by everyone. No one wants the seedlings they have carefully cultivated to be destroyed, and they hate the evil cultivators even more.

Therefore, the sects and cultivation families increased their protection of outstanding disciples, and began to track down the evil cultivators who kidnapped people. They also secretly joined forces to wipe out the evil cultivators, so that these evil cultivators would not dare to show up again.
