    Default Sunflower Manual Practitioner in SPW

    Was it ever stated or implied in the SPW novel that the Sunflower Manual cannot be practiced by a woman and that it specifically needed a man to self-castrate to practice and master this arts? If so, why can't a woman or a non-castrated man practice this art?

    Not sure about whether a woman can practice it or not, but for a man castration is the requirement. Otherwise, he will die from fire deviation.

    Excuse my ignorance, what is fire deviation?

    Also, does anyone know why a woman cannot practice this martial arts?

    fire deviation is a phenomenon that occurs sometimes during internal strength cultivation. when cultivating internal strength, it's common to face stray thoughts or hallucinations. if your thoughts get disturbed, your qi may travel the wrong way through your accuipoint channels. this is potentially fatal and is called demonic possession, infatuation with power or fire deviation. the practitioner will feel fire in his heart, and tries to cool the fire in his heart by staying calm. in ROCH, Yg and XLN used the icy bed in the ancient tomb to cool the fire in their heart so they could make rapid progress in their inner strength.

    sunflower manual is an unorthodox skill that uses a heritical inner power technique, to practice it, men must castrate themself to avoid fire deviation. the condition for women is unknown but there should be no reason for them not to practice it, it's just no woman has.
