Daily life of a cultivation judge



Feng Xin was mildly surprised by Yang Qing's smile that came out of the blue but he decided to ignore it as he listened to Yang Qing's own experience when he tried to sense his Yin-Yang jade bones. 

When Yang Qing finished his explanation, Feng Xin closed his eyes as he tried to try and sense his ice soul jade bones using his core as a conduit to it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see anything, all he felt was the same feeling and sensation he got when he was in silent meditation, absolute blankness, and tranquility from the circulation of his cultivation art.

"I can't sense anything Qing," Feng Xin said after he spent close to ten minutes and still got nowhere.

"Mmmh, maybe my grandfather was right, there may be certain requirements that one needs to reach to understand their peerless jade physique and maybe reaching the palace realm and forming an outer palace is one of those prerequisites, albeit just barely, since I was evicted a few moments after I laid my eyes on the jade tree," Yang Qing said as he scrunched up his brows deep in thought.

"Mao Mao, Meili do the two of you ever see a physical manifestation of your physiques or something close to it?" asked Yang Qing.

There was little information about the peerless jade physique despite it being around for the longest time or there was some information but that information was closely guarded by the organizations that had them. As he was basically in uncharted territory here, he thought it prudent to use Mao Yunru's and Luo Meili's experience with their own natural physiques as a point of reference for the peerless jade physique. 

Mao Yunru had the Purple mist cloud body which gave her a natural immunity to the illusion spells and arts that were close to her in power and a natural affinity for the water Dao, while Luo Meili had the Mandala prana green nebulae jellyfish physique.

Yang Qing didn't know much about Luo Meili's physique other than it was extremely powerful that various seals had to be placed on it so her body wouldn't explode, also passively the physique helped Luo Meili in detecting the minute of changes to the environment or a living organism. However for her to make the best use of that ability, she needed to supplement that detection with knowledge otherwise it would be more of blind intuition than anything else.

This aspect of hers was what made her the best trainer, especially when it came to spirit beasts who all had different bodies, internal structures, and responses especially when it came to cultivation. She could detect what training regimen had the best results and which did not, and a supplemented knowledge helped in the knowing of why.

It was for this reason that she had already been set aside to be a chief trainer at the institute when she reached the palace realm. The only reason she was assigned to Yang Qing was to help her build her experience by being an inquisitor and also because of Yang Qing himself. Because of Yang Qing's Yin-Yang jade physique coupled with his cultivation art, 'The universal duality indulgent of the myriad worlds', he ended up with a universal qi which had effects on both a person's soul and body and because of its universal attribute it could work on all cultivator's with different attributes without causing a backlash. The only exception were corpse cultivators, ghost cultivators, or those with dense slaughter qi that has been stained with anguish and resentment. For those kinds of cultivators, Yang Qing's Qi would burn their bodies.

But when it came to Luo Meili, Yang Qing used his universal qi to strengthen her body and soul which would be of benefit to her when it came to assimilating with her physique. This was why even after she becomes a chief trainer at the institute, she would still be attached to Yang Qing as an inquisitor, albeit on a part-time basis.

"Mmh in my case, it's not so much as I can see my physique, it's kind of like.... how should I put it?.... it's like how your body can tell when you're hungry, tired, or thirsty, and then when you eat, rest, or drink, it knows when it's satiated. It's the same thing with my physique, every time I cultivate, something from my physique appears by itself like breathing. I don't know if that helps," Mao Yunru said with a slightly embarrassed expression which only grew further when she saw Yang Qing's eyes turn big along with Feng Xin, Zheng Hu, and Su Jinjing.

"Thanks, Mao Mao, it helped a lot," Yang Qing said as he coughed a little.

How could the greatest gossip hoarder be this horrible with explanations? Doesn't she have enough experience to articulate better from all the stories she has gobbled up over the years? 

Thought Yang Qing, though outwardly he showed a look of deep gratitude which Mao Yunru didn't seem to buy at all as she softly pouted.

"As for me, all I see is a massive jellyfish filled with all kinds of chains sealing it in a green nebulous sky. I can see it any time I want to, though it does come with some risk as you well know.

Also, every time I break through, that jellyfish releases a green smoke that combines with my breakthrough, whether it's my foundation pillars or my core. Every major breakthrough has been accompanied by the smoke. I can tell it's not harmful, as a matter of fact, it even reinforces my cultivation level and helps me achieve smoother breakthroughs," said Luo Meili.

"Thanks, Meili, this actually helps a lot," Yang Qing said with clear excitement in his tone, unlike his earlier expression in reaction to Mao Yunru's explanation.

Luo Meili's explanation of her experience gave further credence to his guess that his physique had somehow melded with his cultivation over the years, he just didn't notice it at the time. However, there were still some clear differences since he kept feeling his Yin Yang jade bones grow with his base, no matter how minute his growth, the effect would still be there. The other one was Luo Meili could freely gain access to her physique, while Yang Qing only had that one single experience in the day and when he tried it again it failed and he also felt even if he tried it a month later it would still end in failure.

He had no credible reason for that feeling other than intuition and for cultivators at their level, intuition was never just a simple guess, it was usually tied to the grand Dao. It's just that it was veiled from the cultivator, who could only access glimpses of it which came in the form of intuition at times.
