they do... Just very rarely. Whenever they make a breakthrough and all those impurities are removed,the plague on the teeth are included. So basically the higher your level is the longer it takes to make a breakthrough. Thus the strongest cultivators an go millions of years without brushing their teeth. Some of the more health-concious cultivators create divine pills of cleansing to keep their teeth sparkly white
Seriously, in all novels about cultivators i remember about 4-5 in which mentioned something like morning hygiene. And it was 1-2 times in all novel.
Oh shit that's a valid explanation for saitamas baldness out of nowhere in a cultivator thread. And yeah I've seen a few mentions of brushing teeth at the start, but never towards the end. Seems as they level up plaque/bacteria just stops being a concern for them
Then suddenly, the germs start to be able to sense qi and start cultivating. Every tooth ache a cultivator feels is actually their germs transcending their tribulation
Well of course they dont. Cultivators use the waste in there bodies to speed up advancement. Then proceed to release these "impurities" when they rank up.
About arm pit hair, i do think the girls have them, or else Yun Che will Not call Jasmine White Tiger
The only times I've read about someone answering nature's call is when the person in question is either a guard leaving their post to take a leak (and are about to meet their unfortunate end in the latrine as they get backstabbed by the MC who is infiltrating whatever place the guard is guarding), or it's in a genderbender novel and the MC doesn't know what to do because they've either lost or gained a third leg. In short, there's basically no other reason to ever write about these kinds of things, as if there wasn't already too much filler and word padding in these webnovels already... Why on earth would anyone want to spend time reading about someone doing their morning routine?...
i opened nu today to find some novels i have not already read and here i find a serious discussion on whether cultivators brush their teeth. i love this place. do cultivators even have toothbrushes? now that you mentioned it i dont think i remember ever reading a xianxia novel that mentions a toothbrush.
they use their magic to keep the dirt away. akin of cleansing spell. or they use their finger to fingering their own mouth.
You don't need to be a cultivator to not brush your teeth. Learn a thing or two from me. Anyway, isn't it said that they can just clean their bodies and do anything with their appearance with their cultivation thingamajik? The novels specifically say that they don't need to eat anymore cause they absorb energy from the universe and whatnot. ...plus, why would they even write that sort of stuff? You do know a novel doesn't write every single detail of the main character's life, don't you?
In Transcending the Nine Heavens: One of MC's sworn brother's biological brother doesn't bother to bathe or even clear his dirty laundry for 3 months, so he's basically a skunk-in-human-skin. MC is cursed with foot-rot for both lifetimes which max tier cultivation level is unable to cleanse it off, so loli waifu has to force him to sanitise his feet before bedding her.
