197: Chapter 197: Rectifying and Pacifying the Jade Maiden Palace

He naturally knew what these three Junior Martial Uncles were here for. Now that he had some free time, it was also time to help them improve their cultivation and quickly activate his own Bloodline!

He took a deep breath and smiled.

"Three Junior Martial Uncles," he reached out and put his arm around Liu Yunyan's waist, grabbed Murong Qiu's hand, and let his gaze fall on Su Yunshang, "Are you here to check this Disciple's Cultivate results?"

He spoke with tacit understanding, and his whole person became somewhat audacious! Where was there any respect and fear of an Elder from a Disciple!

Liu Yunyan's body stiffened slightly as he embraced her, but she didn't pull away. Instead, she leaned closer to him, her voice as soft as water: "I am here to consult Junior Nephew."

Murong Qiu wasn't annoyed at having her hand held; instead, she walked closer with a chuckle: "This Junior Martial Uncle has a few questions regarding Cultivate and would like to ask for guidance."

Su Yunshang was the most direct. She stepped forward, pressing almost against his body, and looked up at him with watery, glistening eyes: "Junior Nephew won't refuse to teach, right?"

The three women, naturally like Xiao Yuan, shared a tacit understanding, and Xiao Yuan's behavior happened to be exactly what they wanted.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan's domineering and audacious behavior instead gave them a thrilling sensation.

Sandwiched in the middle by the three of them, with three different faint fragrances lingering at the tip of his nose, Xiao Yuan skipped a beat. But he was no longer the kid who would blush the moment a Junior Martial Uncle flirted with him.

He tightened his grip around Liu Yunyan's waist, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear: "If Junior Martial Uncle wants to learn, this Disciple will naturally impart everything without reservation."

The tips of Liu Yunyan's ears turned red, but she didn't dodge away.

He turned his head to look at Murong Qiu again, lightly tracing his finger across her palm: "Whatever questions Murong Junior Martial Uncle has, this Disciple will definitely tell you everything he knows."

Murong Qiu's face flushed red, but she still forced herself not to look away.

Finally, he looked at Su Yunshang. His gaze slowly moved down from her face and then slowly moved back up, a mischievous smile curling at the corner of his lips: "This Disciple can also slowly answer Su Junior Martial Uncle's questions."

Su Yunshang felt her whole body burning under his gaze, but refusing to admit defeat, she raised her head: "Then stop wasting words. Let's begin."

Xiao Yuan smiled.

He took out six Jade Bottles from his embrace and handed two Jade Bottles to each of the three women: "This bottle is the essence condensing golden pill to help you improve your cultivation, and the other bottle is the nascent soul formation pill of perfect grade. Once you first improve your cultivation and stabilize your Foundation, you can attempt a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul."

The three women took the Jade Bottles, surprise flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Yuan took out three Jade Slips again: "This is the Dual Cultivation Technique. This Disciple suggests learning the Cultivation Technique first before taking the Medicinal Pill."

Su Yunshang snatched the Jade Slip, pressed it against her glabella, and opened her eyes a moment later. Her face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Let's begin," she said, her voice a few degrees lower than before, yet even more alluring.

Liu Yunyan put away the Jade Slip and gently took Xiao Yuan's hand: "Junior Nephew, teach this Junior Martial Uncle."

Murong Qiu linked her arm through his from the other side with a grin: "This Junior Martial Uncle will definitely study hard."

Flanked by the three of them, Xiao Yuan walked into the inner chamber, and the door of the Immortal Cave slowly closed behind them.

(... Ten thousand words omitted here ...)

Main Peak, main hall.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei looked at the mountain of Jade Bottles in front of her and was completely dumbfounded.

Five kinds of Medicinal Pills, nearly ten thousand of them. All of them were of perfect grade, neatly stacked in the Jade Bottles and exuding a rich medicinal fragrance.

"This... were all refined by Xiao Yuan?" Her voice was even trembling slightly.

Su Ruotong nodded: "Yes. Junior Brother Xiao said that these Medicinal Pills are enough for the Sect to use for a long time."

Peak Master Yun Ruowei took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

When she gave the resources to Xiao Yuan, she thought it would be good enough if he could refine three kinds of Medicinal Pills.

She didn't expect that not only did he refine five kinds, but they were all of perfect grade, and the quantity was frighteningly large. Almost every aspect had been considered! How could she not be pleasantly surprised!

"Half a year," she muttered, "With these Medicinal Pills, within half a year, the overall strength of the Sect can at least double."

Yun Qingwan stood to the side, her eyes filled with pride. That was her Disciple.

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou looked at each other, both seeing the burning passion in each other's eyes.

They had already broken through to the Nascent Soul, but the Sect still needed more high-end combat power.

Elders Liu Yunyan, Murong Qiu, and Su Yunshang were currently at Xiao Yuan's Immortal Cave and did not know about this. If they did know, they would probably be even more excited.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei took a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

Composing herself, she looked at Su Ruotong: "Put these Medicinal Pills away first. Go find the Peak masters and have them tally up—who wants to leave and who wants to stay."

Su Ruotong was stunned: "Now?"

"Now," Peak Master Yun Ruowei nodded, her gaze cold and detached, "The great battle has just passed, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Those with weak wills will only be hidden dangers if they are kept. It is better to take this opportunity to purge the Sect once."

She took a token from her embrace and handed it to Su Ruotong: "This is the decree of Old Ancestor Qinghe. Take it to meet the Peak masters, and they will cooperate with you."

Old Ancestor Qinghe had already notified Peak Master Yun Ruowei about this matter.

Peak Master Yun Ruowei had been hesitating before. After all, doing this would likely cause the combat power of the Jade Maiden Palace to drop significantly.

But now, with Xiao Yuan's Medicinal Pills, there was nothing left to worry about.

Furthermore, if people with unstable loyalties stayed and took advantage of the benefits, she would be unwilling to let it go. She felt it was time to take action!

Su Ruotong took the token and left with a nod.

The six women traveled together, their cultivation having already stabilized at the Early Golden Core stage Peak.

Walking along the mountain path, their robes fluttered, attracting the sideways glances of many Disciples.

The first stop was Sword Peak.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu of Sword Peak was at the Golden Core Peak, dressed in white with a long sword across her knees, looking like an unsheathed sharp sword.

Seeing Su Ruotong enter, she nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the six women, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Early Golden Core stage Peak? I remember that the few of you were still in the Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago."

Su Ruotong did not explain, simply handing over the decree of Old Ancestor Qinghe: "Peak Master, Old Ancestor has an order for Sword Peak to tally up the Disciples' coming and going. Those who want to leave will not be stopped. Those who want to stay will be registered."

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu took the decree, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

"Old Ancestor is going to reshuffle the Sect." She stood up, sharp light flashing in her eyes, "Good. Those old fellows ran away, and I was just worrying about having nowhere to vent my anger. It's better for those ungrateful turncoats to leave cleanly."

She strode out of the Immortal Cave and began to reorganize Sword Peak. Sword Peak did not have an Old Ancestor, so they had often been suppressed a head lower by the other four Peaks.

Although doing this might greatly reduce the strength of the Jade Maiden Palace, compared to leaving those hidden dangers behind, it was better to clear these people out!

The second stop was Wood Peak.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan of Artifact Peak was at the Late Golden Core stage, gentle and calm, and proficient in Formations.

Seeing Su Ruotong and the others, she was first surprised by their cultivation. After hearing their purpose, she was silent for a while.

"Old Ancestor... trusts us?" she softly asked.

Su Ruotong nodded: "The several Peak masters rushed to the front line during the great battle, and Old Ancestor saw it all."

Peak Master Mu Xuelan's eyes turned slightly red as she took the decree: "I understand. Leave the matters of Wood Peak to me."

She had been worried before that her own Old Ancestor had fled, which was clearly betraying the Sect, and Old Ancestor Qinghe would likely settle accounts with them afterward.

Now it seemed that Old Ancestor Qinghe obviously did not vent her anger on them, and even filled her with trust!

Therefore, she made up her mind that even if it would reduce the combat power of the entire Sect, she must eliminate the hidden dangers for the Jade Maiden Palace.
