[As they talk, she's getting into line at a food truck advertising Deep Fried Everything. Deep fried chicken, fish, potatoes, vegetables, those normal things? Yes, but also: everything else. Desserts, candy bars, fruit, and probably much weirder things appear to also be on the menu, and all of it deep-fried.]
So you're a teacher! [Neat!] Of... cultivation? What's that?
[ terrible how he's making I CRAVE faces at fried everything behind her back and bemoaning the fact he should probably be proper but that probably won't stop him from getting something for himself. thank u mcd's for giving him the excuse for trying new and better things....! ]
Mm. Cultivation is the teaching of spiritual ability, training the body and mind to reach power and immortality unreachable by mortal means.
[ he preens (sqq you didn't even do any of the hard work) ]
Indeed. Each various method of spiritual art has its own focus of course but with great power comes boons and benefits to oneself, which, in my case includes immortality.
It is, perhaps, better considered longevity than true immortality. After all, ones body is still human. Teaching one to guard against injury, illness, and nature is very much possible.
[ LIKE, YOU CAN STILL STAB HIM IN THE HEART AND IT WILL, IN FACT, BE PRETTY FATAL. He'll make you work for it but he still bleeds prettily in the end. JUST SAYIN' ]

Shizun is what many call me, having been a cultivation teacher in my world. If you prefer else wise, Shen Qingqiu works perfectly fine.

I've studied the spiritual arts, so I know how powerful they can be, but... immortality, too!?
[Well, maybe she doesn't know. Because like, that's new.]
