In fact, for female cultivators, it is indeed a broad avenue, just that very few female cultivators are willing to peel off their own skin.

Ahem, of course, there are indeed differences between men and women in terms of brain capacity, cortical thickness, and brain regions such as the hippocampus, amygdala, striatum, and thalamus have different volumes.

However, that said, while there are differences between male and female cultivators, they still have similar physiological structures and the construction of meridians and the Qi Sea. It's better to say that compared to those differences between males and females, the differences between cultivators and ordinary people, and between cultivators who use different Qi Refining Techniques for Core Formation, are greater and almost belong to different species.

Let's not talk about those surgical transformations in the Immortal Palace and those seizing others' bodies in the Divine Sect, nor mention Tie Dan's extraordinary talent.

Take this Xuanming Qi Refiner Fei Yan and Divine Gang Qi Refiner Chen Huzi for example. Both have just formed their cores, and their cultivation is about the same, but their internal organs, meridians, muscles, and bones have undergone completely different transformations due to the transformation of True Qi with different attributes.

The most obvious difference is when both people form their cores using Qi Refining Bone. As a result, Fei Yan's body becomes mist-like, light as if without bones, allowing her to soar silently with the wind, whereas Chen Huzi's is as heavy as iron, sturdy as steel, with a Sword Bone that can split iron and cleave gold.

Do you think these two mutants can really interbreed?

Indeed, Chen Xuantian began to suspect that as Qi Refiners evolved, they were starting to exhibit reproductive isolation after Core Formation.

After all, looking at the example of the Mystic Sect, although there are disputes between the Hidden Immortal Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, in reality, once at the Golden Core Realm, the Mystic Sect does not prohibit disciples from forming couples and marrying, yet still, the population is sparse.

To be blunt, the Mystic Sect's practice of maintaining tradition through master-apprentice transmission isn't because they don't want to pass on the Daoist Collection to their own offspring like the Immortal Palace, but because objectively, cultivators rarely have offspring.

After all, if you're transforming swords and dragons, how can you possibly produce a person? It's not scientific at all!

Chen Xuantian also speculated wildly that it might be because the Dao Body of a Golden Core Realm cultivator has such strong immunity that the fetus, like a demon beast egg shell, might be absorbed directly.

And interbreeding between cultivators and humans, although possible, rather than being a transmission of genes, actually seems more akin to demon egg incarnation, seizing and parasitism, nurturing a split soul within a human body for development.

Yes, saying that cultivators and demons are alike, but the more you observe and study, indeed this is the impression Chen Xuantian gets.

On the other hand, although the people of the Immortal Palace may not act humanly, they are relatively pure, merely enhancing muscle and bone, stuffing an Outer Pill in the stomach, yet they can still propagate their progeny, nobles, and extend without interruption.

Mortals, mountain people, perhaps this 'human' is no longer a concept of 'Homo sapiens,' but rather it has already been classified as 'Hominidae.'

In Chen Xuantian's view, mountain people and mortals are truly like the difference between monkeys and gorillas, entirely divergent branches evolving over millions or tens of millions of years.

It's just that, perhaps due to living in the same environment, long-term coexistence, or some other reason for natural selection, convergent evolution has occurred, making mountain people and mortals appear 'human-like.'

After all, even those demons, in pursuit of the Right Method, will actively cultivate to become 'humans,' isn't that so?

Moreover, to be honest, the extent of this evolution seems a bit too vast.

It's really uncertain whether the original mountain people were 'humans' or something else 'Refined.'

So, the question arises.

Earthlings, exactly which branch, link, or section of this evolution do they belong to?

Are they the final True Man

or the monkeys in the mountains

Just as Chen Xuantian is deep in thought, contemplating the mysteries of the human body and unable to extricate himself, a sudden knock on the door is heard.

Then, outside the door, an official is seen, bending forward, holding a jade hairpin with both hands, kowtowing as he steps in reverently,

"I am the Liang State Prime Minister, esteemed guest's arrival is a surprise, my inadequate manners must have disrupted your peace, I am sincerely fearful. I have prepared a humble gift, not worthy of your attention, please forgive me."

Chen Xuantian observes that the servant behind him is actually holding a furnace of pills, six of them glowing red like dumplings, emitting a fragrant vanilla aroma, filling him with curiosity,

"What is this?"

The Liang State Prime Minister reveals a sycophantic smile, lifting his head,

"They are Six Harmonies Child Pills."

Chen Xuantian didn't respond for a moment,

"Six Harmonies Child Pills? I've read the Daoist Alchemy Formulas thoroughly, but I've never heard of any Six Harmonies Child Pills. What Heavenly Materials Treasures were used to make them?"

The Liang State Prime Minister earnestly praises,

"Ah, the supreme Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, the supreme ruler of all people, beings, domains, territories, eternity, and eons. The revered Holy Emperor like a father adored by legions and billions of ministers, loyal servants, and devoted followers under heaven.

As a minister, to shepherd one region on behalf of the Holy Father, Holy Emperor, Holy Man, Holy Ruler, I always gaze upon the glory of Beichen, listen to the sage's words, bathe in the benevolence of the holy grace, with my heart caring for the Emperor's wellbeing.

Recently I heard about the unfavorable war situation in the Western Regions, and the Emperor, tirelessly laboring for the nation's affairs, had no choice but to recover at Shanglin Garden, and couldn't help but weep, soaking my garments and chest.

Ah, letting such a benevolent and wise Father Ruler be troubled and disturbed by earthly concerns is our failing as ministers!

Daily, I swear by the moon, hoping and praying that the sage remains eternally healthy. If any hardship arises, let it come upon me instead!

Such daily devotion finally moved the heavens to bestow upon me an Immortal Recipe. Take sixty-six boys, sixty-six girls, all six years old, draw the blood from their hearts, and blend with orchids and herbs, secret medicines of immortal birds, and refine sixty-six kinds into this pill!

With each prescription containing six pills, taking one daily over six years shall undoubtedly cure a hundred ailments, strengthen muscles and bones, invigorate the spirit, maintain health, enjoy eternal youth, and share longevity with heaven!

Please take my small token of appreciation to Shanglin Garden and present it for the sage to consume.

Please take my little bit of longing to Gouyi Palace and convey it to the Father Ruler.

If that laborious holy body can feel even slightly better, the furrowed brows slightly relax, even if I die, I would have fulfilled my humble filial duty~~"

Chen Xuantian looks at this fervent joy, loyal and passionate demeanor, and sighs genuinely.

Alas...

Whether mountain people or mortals, gorillas or monkeys, in this world, there is no shortage of such reckless creatures.

Then Chen Xuantian swings his hand and with a slap, shatters the head of this bastard.
