The poisonous gas released by the Bodhi Tree would have been extremely tricky to resolve for any other cultivator, but to Wei Ruyan, it was no different from tonic. As she absorbed all of it into her body, an excited gleam flickered across her beady eyes.
"You can raise your cultivation through the black smoke too?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Wei Ruyan nodded.
"As expected of the Innate Poison Body," Zhang Xuan remarked in awe.
This unique constitution sure was powerful.
If others were afflicted with that poison, they would die within moments. Yet, Wei Ruyan was actually able to make use of this deadly material to raise her cultivation. Even Zhang Xuan could not help but envy that overpowered ability of hers!
It might be a little hard for others to relate to the idea of 'why can't a student get together with his teacher'. This is actually one of the beliefs of Confucianism.
Confucianism allocates specific roles to everyone in society, and these roles are intended to be strictly adhered to. For example, the parents are responsible for educating and bringing up their children well, imparting to them the correct values in life. All citizens must remain loyal to the emperor, and betrayal is viewed with utmost abhorrence. Similarly, the roles between a student and teacher are expected to be strictly adhered to, and attempts to cross the line are viewed negatively.
For those who might have read Return of the Condor Heroes, a famous wuxia work, you might have noted how others frowned upon Yang Guo when he got together with Xiaolongnü. The same applies here as well.
