The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

When the three of them came out of the manor again, they had all changed into neat, narrow-sleeved robes.

Yes, Yue Li was also dressed in men's clothing, her neatly tied-up hair was loosened and combed into a high ponytail.

Wearing a crescent-white, narrow-sleeved robe embroidered with green bamboo, and a palm-width jade belt inlaid with red agate around her slender waist, Yue Li's figure was accentuated by her graceful and voluptuous curves.

Of course, this "plumpness" refers to Yue Li's chest, and the jade belt around her waist further accentuates her full breasts and slender waist.

Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi couldn't take their eyes off Yue Li's outfit.

After all, the two of them had seen the scenery there, and it was so beautiful that it left them wanting more and lingering there.

Yue Li hadn't expected that, without binding her chest, wearing men's clothing would result in such a noticeable bulge in her chest, almost as if the fabric was about to burst open.

Two burning gazes fell on her bulging chest. Yue Li naturally noticed the intense gazes and her cheeks flushed involuntarily. She glared back coquettishly.

She thought her gaze was already quite intimidating, and that the two of them would know when to stop and look away.

But she didn't know that her flirtatious glance, like a seductive provocation, had captivated their gazes, stirring their hearts and prompting a direct physical response.

Jin Chenyuan remained calm. Apart from looking at Yue Li with an even deeper gaze, he casually tugged at the hem of his robe to cover his slightly protruding area.

But Shao Qi lacked the willpower to control himself. When he sensed that something was about to rise, Shao Qi's face turned red, and for a moment, his eyes welled up with tears.

Looking into their eyes, what else didn't Yue Li understand?

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance crossed her face. At this moment, she wanted to go back and change back into the dress she had just worn. After all, when her dresses were made in the past, because she was so well-developed, she would ask the embroiderers to make the area around her chest looser to cover her up a bit.

However, this time the men's clothing was made together with Jin Chenyuan's robes.

Moreover, Jin Chenyuan had instructed that the same color and pattern be used for the fabrics of the two of them.

Now, with one large and one small garment worn by the two, they give off two different vibes. Jin Chenyuan appears to have a flat and broad chest, a straight back, and a unique charm.

Yue Li, on the other hand, appeared slender and supple, with a graceful and voluptuous figure.

He coughed and cleared his throat to hide his unease.

"Let's hurry up, or it'll get dark soon," Yue Li said, walking forward with a hurried pace.

Seeing Yue Li's feignedly anxious back, a dark glint flashed in Jin Chenyuan's eyes, and he strode after her.

Seeing this, Shao Qi hurriedly followed, but the two of them walked with a somewhat awkward gait.

Since they hadn't gone up the mountain yet and there was no danger, Qingyun and Tiandong, along with their group of skilled guards, deliberately kept a distance behind them so as not to disturb their masters. When they saw their masters move, the group immediately followed.

Upon reaching the boundary between the outer and middle perimeter of the mountain, Yue Li stopped leading the group forward. She had already witnessed the ferocious beasts of the inner perimeter before, and there were many of them.

With her current skills and level, she can protect Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi from being surrounded by forty or fifty large beasts. However, the inner area is not just forty or fifty large beasts; it consists of large packs of them.

Moreover, the two men had never witnessed her skills, so it was uncertain whether they would trust her to take them in. Even their personal guards would never allow her to lead their masters into such a dangerous situation.

After all, it was impossible for her to bring such a large group of people into the inner perimeter, and she couldn't protect so many people at once.

Finding a flat, open meadow, Yue Li closed her eyes and sensed the surrounding spiritual energy. Hmm, although it was much weaker than the spiritual energy in the inner area, there was nothing she could do about it.

“Let’s do it here,” Yue Li said.

Then she gestured to the person following her to bring over the mat that she had prepared in advance, casually tossed it on the grass, and sat down cross-legged on it.

Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi followed suit, taking the cushions from their subordinates, tossing them on the grass, and sitting cross-legged on them.

Looking at the group of guards who were anxiously surrounding them, Yue Li waved her hand and said, "You don't need to surround them so closely. Spread out a bit. As long as you can ensure that the wild beasts don't enter the safe zone, there are plenty of people who can take turns guarding them."

Seeing this, Jin Chenyuan said, "Everyone retreat to the edge of the grass, in one direction, in groups of four. Make sure you can see each other and your line of sight is not obstructed. Go."

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness." Both the people brought by Jin Chenyuan and those brought by Shao Qi bowed in unison.

Then the guards split into groups and retreated to the edge of the grassland.

After the guards left, Yue Li began her lesson for the day.

“Speaking of spiritual practice, you may not know what it means, because nowadays most people practice physical practice, which is commonly known as external martial arts. External martial arts are what you are learning now, which only involves practicing fists and feet.”

“Spiritual cultivation involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one’s meridians, which then flows into the dantian. The spiritual energy flowing into the dantian will automatically transform into spiritual power…”

Yue Li emphasized how to sense the spiritual energy in the air.

After sensing spiritual energy, how does one absorb the spiritual energy belonging to their own spiritual root into their body?

As for how to circulate spiritual energy in the meridians later?

After the spirit enters the body, how is the spiritual power used?

Those are not topics we can discuss now, and if we talk about them too much, they won't be able to digest it all at once.

"Was the Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill that Ah Li gave us last time meant to help us absorb this spiritual energy?" Jin Chenyuan asked.

"Yes, the Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill mainly removes impurities from our bodies and widens our meridians, making it easier for us to absorb spiritual energy. Otherwise, if the meridians are blocked by impurities, even if you have the best spiritual root, you will not be able to absorb spiritual energy if your meridians are too small."

Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi listened to Yue Li's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

They all clearly remember the pain they felt after taking the Cleansing and Marrow-Consolidating Pill. It was no exaggeration to say that they were worse than dead. They never wanted to experience that kind of pain again, as if their bones had been smashed and their flesh had been cut away bit by bit.

However, the benefits of the cleansing and marrow cleansing are also obvious. Not to mention that their appearance and temperament have improved significantly, they also feel much more relaxed.

When Yue Li felt that she had explained enough, she asked the two to try to sense the spiritual energy in the air based on their own understanding.

As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself.

That's how spiritual cultivation works; everyone has their own understanding, and what you ultimately achieve depends not only on talent but also on your comprehension.

Just like Yue Li in the cultivation world, although she had the worst spiritual root among her group, her comprehension was above average. Of course, the top-tier ones were those with only a single or dual spiritual root.

Yue Li is able to do this because she can sit still; after all, inside that child's shell is an adult.

But even if that's the case, so what?

In the end, wasn't it because of poor spiritual roots that he accomplished nothing?
