Chapter 2

Cultivation Through Copulation.

Episode 2: Spiritual Root.

Yuk-gyeong speculated that this world was a xianxia world.

Moreover, it was the xianxia world from the novel he was last reading.

Yuk-gyeong had never actually seen an immortal, but during the year he lived here, he heard legendary stories of people flying in the sky.

Of course, there’s a chance it could all be nonsense and lies, but Yuk-gyeong believed it.

Because this place is the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom was the secondary setting in the xianxia novel he was reading before he came here.

What was the title of the xianxia novel he was reading last?

He can’t even remember.

He doesn’t recall the details either.

If he had known, he would have memorized every single word properly.

Well, what’s done is done.

Anyway, this world is definitely a xianxia world, and xianxia divides people into two kinds.

One is ordinary people, and the other is cultivators.

Ordinary people are literally just that, ordinary. They are side characters that don’t play a significant role in xianxia novels.

Cultivators are those who aim to become immortals by cultivating the Tao to cultivate their minds.

The masters of the xianxia world.

Cultivators who aim to control the wind and rain, walk above the clouds, and live as long as heaven and earth.

In other words, these cultivators are essentially aspiring immortals.

These aspiring immortals have something called a Spiritual Root.

This refers to a person’s elemental compatibility, and having a Spiritual Root is necessary to sense the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

To become an immortal, one must gather only the necessary Spiritual Qi from the chaotic Qi scattered throughout heaven and earth and absorb it into their body, so the existence of a Spiritual Root is essential.

Spiritual Roots range from five to one, with five being the worst and one being the best.

A ‘five’ Spiritual Root possesses compatibility with all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Having compatibility with all five elements might make one think ‘five’ Spiritual Root is the best, but that’s a misconception.

Compatibility is like a frequency.

A cultivator needs to sense and absorb the Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth that matches their own. It’s like capturing the right frequency to receive the signal.

In heaven and earth, besides the five elements’ Spiritual Qi, there are various mixed energies, and finding the right one to absorb is a challenging task.

Among the mixed energies, one must draw in only the Qi that suits them. In the ‘five’ Spiritual Root’s case, having all five elemental roots meant they interfered with each other, like radio interference.

That is why the cultivation world values a single Spiritual Root the most.

A single Spiritual Root has only one element, allowing it to exceptionally sense the Spiritual Qi of that element from heaven and earth, as there is no interference from the Spiritual Roots of other elements.

This single Spiritual Root is extremely rare, appearing perhaps once in several hundred years. It’s a truly legendary root.

Why am I telling you this story?

One day, a beam of light swooshed down onto Hye-chun’s place.

At first, they worried it was a meteor, but it turned out to be an immortal who had come.

An immortal!

An immortal who strolls above the clouds and shares life with heaven and earth, an immortal aspirant.

At least to the ordinary people, they were like immortals, flying through the sky and moving at speeds humans couldn’t fathom. It was a common knowledge that everyone had come to accept in this world.

Such an immortal went to Hye-chun’s house and read Hye-chun’s celestial destiny.

They even examined her Spiritual Root by holding her wrist.

The result was that Hye-chun had a single Spiritual Root, possessing an extraordinary talent.

“Do you understand? I’m someone who possesses a single Spiritual Root. My Spiritual Root exists only in one element. With this, every sect will come to take me. The immortal who examined my Spiritual Root told me to wait a bit while they bring people from their sect. They insisted that I must not join any other sect.”

“Really?”

“What do you mean, really? I’m different from you now. You are a commoner. I’m going to become an immortal. I don’t need someone like you anymore. I’m going to be a cultivator.”

“Then what about our promise? We were supposed to get married.”

“Marriage? What marriage? Do you think a single Spiritual Root cultivator like me would marry a commoner without a Spiritual Root?”

Hye-chun addressed Yuk-gyeong with an unprecedented coldness.

Wasn’t she the one who always greeted him with a bright smile? Yuk-gyeong saw her expressionless face, or perhaps it was a face that seemed to look down on him, for the first time.

Yuk-gyeong asked in bewilderment.

“How, how can love change?”1

“Ha, what love? Didn’t your family have cows and pigs? I was only after that. I don’t need it anymore. Your face is somewhat decent, but it’s not like I can live off a pretty face; I was just considering all the conditions.”

“What?”

“And flowers, why do you bring them every time when they can’t even be eaten? I had a hard time pretending to like them. Don’t ever come see me again.”

Hye-chun’s cold words shocked Yuk-gyeong. Hye-chun, who used to be happier than anyone else when given flowers, was actually pretending!

The hurt was so deep that Yuk-gyeong involuntarily took a step back, though no one had touched him.

‘Yuk-gyeong, that Hye-chun is such a flirt. She’s not as innocent as she seems.’

‘How about dating me instead of Hye-chun? That Hye-chun is really rude.’

‘Why are you together with Hye-chun? There’s no one worse than her.’

The words of the village girls, which Yuk-gyeong had dismissed as mere jealousy, now came back to him. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Perhaps Yuk-gyeong had been ignoring Hye-chun’s dual nature all along.

The disdainful looks she gave to Mr. Suk, who took on all the tough jobs in the village, and the way she heartlessly pushed away children who came to play pranks.

Yuk-gyeong, who was in love, might have been turning a blind eye to all of it.

Maybe, just maybe, he thought he could change all of that with love.

But the truth came, cold and harsh.

Yuk-gyeong’s teeth chattered from the shock.

To say she’d leave him because she has a Spiritual Root. To say such hurtful things so casually.

Yuk-gyeong was furious.

To think she promised marriage over something so trivial.

He loved her enough to give her everything, enough to want to take her back to his original world. The more he loved, the angrier he became.

The flame of anger ignited in his mind.

That flame burned many things and flipped a certain switch. The switch of revenge.

Yuk-gyeong forced a smile. He couldn’t just let her go like this. He just smiled first. As if acknowledging it.

“Then, since it’s our last time, don’t you want to do it once?”

“Do what? What do you mean?”

“Sex.”

“Sex? What’s that?”

“I mean, intercourse.”

At Yuk-gyeong’s subtle and sly words, Hye-chun’s face turned red. Sex! How could he say such an embarrassing thing!

“You, you!”

“You’re about to become an immortal, but wouldn’t you regret not experiencing the greatest pleasure of the mortal world, the affairs between men and women?”

Hye-chun gulped.

Even with Hye-chun’s difficult personality, she had to admit that Yuk-gyeong had a handsome face.

It didn’t make sense that Hye-chun hadn’t considered that aspect from the beginning.

Sex, the pleasure of the clouds and rain, the secret fun between adults.

Hye-chun was curious about it.

And if possible, she wanted to experience it with the handsome Yuk-gyeong.

Yuk-gyeong’s temptation was something Hye-chun found hard to resist.

She couldn’t deny the subtle attraction she felt while dating Yuk-gyeong. Clearly, it was a physical attraction. Even without sexual experience, Hye-chun instinctively sensed it.

Hye-chun nodded.

“…Alright. Just once. Just once to end things.”

Breakup sex of all things.

Yuk-gyeong never imagined it would actually happen.

Sex to be the one last thing they do before parting ways?

Such a thing would only smear the remnants of emotions.

What kind of feeling is it for a couple to have breakup sex?

It would definitely be terrible.

Sure, it might feel good at the moment. But then it’s goodbye, right? Even a stiff cock would feel like dying.

Right now, Yuk-gyeong was blinded by revenge. If he could exact revenge like this, he should.

Yuk-gyeong took Hye-chun to her house.

Hye-chun’s parents were out working in the fields.

There was no one at Hye-chun’s house.

Click!

As soon as the door closed, Hye-chun and Yuk-gyeong explored each other’s lips. The sounds of sucking and kissing were heard seductively.

Hye-chun responded awkwardly to Yuk-gyeong’s actions, but the skilled Yuk-gyeong took the lead.

First, Yuk-gyeong kissed and nibbled on her lips, then slowly lowered his hand to untie Hye-chun’s clothing.

“Ah!”

Hye-chun tried to stop Yuk-gyeong’s touch but soon gave in and complied.

Yes, to proceed, the clothes must come off.

The knot was untied, and the front was opened wide.

Hye-chun’s rounded upper chest was exposed to the outside.

Hye-chun, feeling embarrassed, covered her chest and blushed.

That sight further provoked Yuk-gyeong’s instincts.

Yuk-gyeong actively approached Hye-chun, exploring her lips and roughly grasping her chest.

At first, she seemed to be in pain with Yuk-gyeong’s rough touch, but as he gently stroked and kneaded, Hye-chun’s face turned red, and she let out a heated breath.

“Ha… Yuk-gyeong….”

Excited by Hye-chun’s breathy moan, Yuk-gyeong roughly pulled her skirt apart. He didn’t forget to caress her lips, cheeks, and ears with his mouth.

Hye-chun was overwhelmed by Yuk-gyeong’s tongue play, losing all strength in her body.

Yuk-gyeong skillfully undressed Hye-chun. It wasn’t difficult. Hye-chun was soon completely naked.

TL/N: 어떻게 사랑이 변하니 This is actually a very famous, meme like phrase from the Korean movie ‘One Fine Spring Day’. The scene between Hye-chun and Yuk-gyeong is actually somewhat similar to the scene in the movie…at least till this current part. LOL ↩️
