Chapter 101.1 : Peculiarities (Part 1)
The Spirit-Aperture Body is a universally acknowledged crippled constitution in the cultivation world.
The very first realm for cultivators is the Na Ling/Spirit-Gathering Realm, which marks the beginning of cultivation.
But for those with a Spirit-Aperture Body, the first realm is already the end.
The core of cultivation in the Spirit-Gathering Realm lies in drawing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into the body, tempering the flesh and strengthening the physique.
Once both bodily strength and the amount of spiritual power within reach the required standard, one may step into the next realm—the Seed-Condensation Realm.
However, the Spirit-Aperture Body, as its name suggests, is riddled with countless holes within the body.
If one does not cultivate, it causes no real harm.
But the moment cultivation begins, spiritual power will leak out constantly—no matter how much is absorbed, the same amount is lost!
Thus, at merely the first realm, the cultivation path of someone with a Spirit-Aperture Body is completely blocked off.
Although there are some unorthodox methods that can temporarily seal these apertures, they only address the symptoms, not the root cause.
Once that brief period passes, the apertures will expand even further.
Looking across the entire cultivation world, there has never been a single person born with a Spirit-Aperture Body who managed to step into the second realm.
[Zhao Qinghui:] Now let's talk about Su Mo's current situation. In just three days, Su Mo has already stirred up quite a commotion—first…
As Zhao Qinghui spoke at length, the women in the group chat gradually gained a preliminary understanding of Su Mo and the current state of the Su family.
[Lu Fuyao:] I keep feeling that this Su family… something about them feels off. I can't quite put my finger on it, but my first instinct says something isn't right…
[Lu Tingni:] Sister, you feel that way too? I do as well. It really feels like the Su family is hiding some kind of secret!
[Shui Qianrou:] So everyone feels the same way?
[Dantai Xuanyin:] Indeed. The Su family does give off a strange air.
[Su Lingyuan:] Really? Really? Why don't I feel anything at all?
[Zhao Qinghui:] It is strange. When my informant returned after investigating, I asked her about various details. Everything else was fine—except when I asked about the current wife of Su Qing. She couldn't even say her name.
[Zhao Qinghui:] She clearly told me that she had confirmed all the information before returning to report. Yet when she actually came back, she had completely lost all memory related to the Su family's lady of the house.
[Dantai Jinglian:] This Su family's mistress is anything but simple—so is Su Qing's former wife, Su Mo's mother. There should be a connection between the two. Methods that can cause people to lose specific memories without them realizing it are not something ordinary individuals can possess.
[Dantai Jinglian:] It seems that simple investigations won't uncover anything deeper.
[Dantai Jinglian:] Interesting. Su Mo—and even Su Qing and his two wives, past and present—all carry great secrets!
The Su family's series of oddities and the secrets hidden deep beneath them greatly piqued Dantai Jinglian's interest.
Ordinary people might retreat when faced with such eerie and unsettling matters.
But for Dantai Jinglian, the more bizarre and mysterious something was, the more it stirred her curiosity and desire to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, at the Su residence.
Inside a room.
Qianqiu Xue gently sipped the tea in her hand, looking at Su Yu-shang, who had been frozen in a daze for quite some time now. She sighed softly to herself.
After she revealed some of the hidden truths, the other party had fallen into this state.
She had originally intended to keep these matters concealed forever, but the appearance of the Diary Replica had disrupted her plans and long-held arrangements far more than expected.
In fact, when the memory-sealing restriction in Su Yu-shang's mind began to malfunction, she had already sensed that something was wrong.
That restriction had been personally placed by her—it would not harm Su Yu-shang's body.
It would only be triggered when Su Yu-shang came into contact with matters related to Qianqiu Yue, erasing those associated memories.
Not only did Su Yu-shang bear such a restriction.
Throughout the entire Wangjian City, aside from a handful of insiders,
everyone who had once known the name Qianqiu Yue had been implanted with a similar restriction—
all memories and information related to Qianqiu Yue had been completely wiped away.
