Chapter 21: Brother Opened A Physiotherapy Salon

Physiotherapy was not exactly a new thing in this particular world. Scraping, fire cupping, and massage had been popular for millennia, but only among ordinary people.

After all, the more painful these things were, the more effective they were, and cultivators were at different levels and had different pain tolerance. So, normally, when a low-cultivation practitioner gave physical therapy to a higher-level cultivator, it was akin to scratching an itch.

However, Ye Anping was different.

In the past, he would often give Pei Lianxue scraping and massage to help her relax her muscles and bones so that she could practice better. Over the years, he had summed up a set of physiotherapy methods that were extremely effective for cultivators.

The most important thing was that he didn't have an arrogant and condescending personality like other cultivators, nor did he care that doing these things for others would lower his status.

The woman who reviewed the shop application said she wanted to experience his physiotherapy, so Ye Anping asked her to take him to the nearby lounge.

Just when she was wondering what 'physiotherapy' was, Ye Anping suddenly knelt in front of her on one knee, holding her right foot with both hands and trying to pull off her shoe and sock.

Seeing this, she glared and kicked Ye Anping, but he quickly reacted and dodged, turning his head to the side.

"What are you doing?!" She glared at Ye Anping and even touched the sword hilt on her back. "Why are you taking off my shoes?! How dare you, an apprentice, be so overt and frivolous to me?"

Hearing what she said, Ye Anping was embarrassed for the moment. Everyone had a different understanding of the word 'frivolous'.

Some women felt that if they were seen barefoot, they would not be able to marry, while others were calm even when they were peeked at while taking a bath.

The ***Black Star*** Sect disciple in front of him was obviously the former.

Ye Anping thought for a while, then simply took out the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect ID badge from his waist and handed it to her as collateral.

"Sister, I never meant to disrespect you. This is my identity badge. If you feel my behavior is inappropriate, you can make it public. What do you say?"

"Identity badge?" The woman took the identity badge and after looking at it carefully, she frowned, "Are you the young master of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect?"

"Yes, it's me."

"The young master of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect came to ***Black Star*** to open a shop, and on top of that, this very kind of shop. Aren't you ashamed?"

Ye Anping exhaled lightly and asked, "Sister, let me ask you a question. Do you think the status of the teacher who teaches and educates people is higher or lower than that of the farmer who farms and cultivates the land?"

"Of course, it's higher."

"To be a teacher is indeed honorable, but if there were no farmers to till the land, the teacher would starve to death." Ye Anping smiled and continued, "There are hundreds of ways in this world, and we can't live without one another. Why would that be shameful? I just do what I want to do."

"Well, that sounds reasonable, but..." The woman from the ***Black Star*** looked at Ye Anping hesitantly. "Is your physiotherapy really not like a brothel?"

"Of course not. Just try it, and you'll see. If it doesn't work, I'll leave right away. If you think this matter is frivolous, I can wear gloves and a blindfold while I give you physiotherapy."

Hearing what he said, she looked at his face again, and seeing that he was pretty embarrassed, she finally nodded.

"Then... that's fine, but I'm telling you now, if you dare to disrespect me, I will destroy you on the spot."

"Alright."

After fumbling a little, he gently grabbed her feet and pressed on the center of her soles with his thumbs.

"Sister, did you eat a lot of oil and spicy food recently? Your spleen and liver are inflamed."

"How do you know?"

"Your *Tiger Heart* acupoint is a little hot. It may hurt for a while, please bear with it."

The woman raised her eyebrows and sighed in her heart. This young man seemed to be really good at it. He could know something with just a light touch.

The next moment, Ye Anping concentrated his spiritual power on his fingertips and touched the acupuncture points on the soles of her feet.

Instantly, she felt a current flowing upwards from the spot where Ye Anping's fingers touched, and she couldn't hold back a moan.

"Oh~~"

She hastily covered her mouth, but immediately afterward, another burst of energy, like warm jade, flowed through her body.

"Oooh~ mmm~~"

"Sister, is this pressure okay?"

"Hmm... still... still... Ah~~"

"Sister, don't tense your body like this, relax a little, or I won't know how much force to use."

"Uh-huh..."

In the end, Ye Anping pressed the acupoints on her feet for a quarter of an hour, but neither of them noticed that many disciples who were on duty at this place today were passing by their room, and they all heard the suspicious noises coming from inside.

Now, outside the door were three men and four women, listening to the movements in the room, their faces red.

---"You want me to be gentler?"

---"No... don't worry~ use the same strength~ like just now~~ very comfortable~~"

---"That's good~~"

The sounds in the room were getting weirder and weirder, and the three men and four women talked among themselves in low voices.

"Sister Bai has some guts! How daring... she is actually practicing dual cultivation* with her partner right here."

"By the way, who is Sister Bai's partner? Why didn't I know she had someone?"

"I just saw a young man of small stature enter the room with her. He looked quite remarkable and bright, and I don't know what clan he is from, but he is not a ***Black Star*** disciple anyway."

At this point, it seemed the activity in the room had ended.

---"Just... that's it?"

---"Isn't she still on duty?"

---"That's right... let's go out now..."

The people at the door winked at each other: '*Run!*' As Sister Bai was about to come out, they immediately dispersed as if nothing happened.

"Sister, how is my physiotherapy? Don't you feel much more relaxed when you circulate your spiritual energy?"

"Hmm..." Sister Bai pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and when she tried to move her spiritual energy, she was pleasantly surprised. "It's indeed a lot easier, and I feel quite refreshed now."

"Well, then what about my shop application, you see..."

"Right, but... I have to go and ask the Elders." Sister Bai took out her own seal from her storage bag, and after putting a red stamp on the application order, she reminded him, "You can open the shop for now, but then the Elders will come and see for themselves. It's up to them whether you can keep it open or not. I reckon a lot of people have never heard of physiotherapy."

"Got it." Ye Anping took the store application order and cupped his hands in thanks. "Many thanks, sister. Then, I'm leaving."

Seeing that he was ready to leave, Sister Bai hesitated for a while, then asked him to wait.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, my name is Bai Yuexin, and I am a disciple of the ***Black Star*** Sect on the **Heavenly Cloud Peak**. If you have any questions in the future, you can come here and ask me. Just say you are looking for sister Bai from **Heavenly Cloud Peak**. I am the only person named Bai in **Heavenly Cloud Peak**."

"Well, thanks a lot, Sister Bai."
