87: The women are jealous, Yunlan Seven Peaks

Gu Shuqin chuckled: "Of course I believe you, but this place is a Sect after all. With so many pretty young girls living in the same courtyard, people are bound to gossip."

Miao Yizi giggled: "What does it matter? Doesn't this just prove that Senior Brother is capable and has charmed many girls?"

Lin Yuan patted her head and retorted: "There's nothing to be proud of in this, and it's not a big problem either. Haven't many male Elders had numerous female Disciples living in their courtyards?"

He had seen it himself when he was a handyman; an Outer Sect Elder had raised over a dozen female Disciples, filling the entire courtyard.

Occasionally, when he received tasks to clean their rooms, he couldn't help but feel nauseous...

Fortunately, he later shed his handyman status and no longer had to do those dirty, tiring chores.

Gu Shuqin nodded: "That's true, but my courtyard has fewer rooms. I'm afraid living together might inconvenience you."

"No worries, no worries, we can still fit if we squeeze a bit."

"Being able to live with our husband is already very fortunate; we wouldn't dare ask for a bigger house."

"Husband?"

Hearing Deng Fuxi's words, Gu Shuqin and Miao Yizi immediately looked at Lin Yuan, their beautiful eyes wide open, filled with questioning.

Lin Yuan chuckled awkwardly: "It's like this..."

As he explained, the two girls understood the reason, and instantly became incredibly jealous.

Unfair!

This is too unfair!

They had known Lin Yuan earlier and weren't even married yet.

These two little girls actually surpassed them?

This is too biased!

"Senior Brother! How could you do this? We committed ourselves to you early on, and we still don't have a proper status, yet you've already married others?"

"Lin Yuan, this is really not right!"

Facing their intense reaction, Lin Yuan could only patiently appease them, promising that once his Cultivation reached a higher level, he would hold a grand wedding for them. Only then did the two girls relent.

At this, Lu Yichan felt extremely envious, gazing longingly at the man with her beautiful eyes, and softly asked: "Young Master, what about Chaner?"

Lin Yuan promised: "Don't worry, Chaner, when the wedding is held, you will certainly have your share."

The young girl immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Young Master, for your promise. Chaner will patiently await that day."

Seeing that the three girls had stopped fussing, Lin Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he must become stronger soon to give each woman their rightful status and protect them at the same time.

"Lin Yuan, you mentioned earlier that the two Elders also returned to the Sect with you. Where are they?"

"Oh, I've already settled them in Yunxiao City."

Yunxiao City is the closest affiliated city to the Cloud Ripple Sect. It is guarded by Sect powerhouses, and its public order and patrols are excellent, so many Cloud Ripple Sect Disciples settle their families in this city.

With the two Elders living here, their safety is certainly guaranteed.

Gu Shuqin understood this and gently nodded her head, saying: "Then I can rest assured."

Lin Yuan chuckled: "The Sect does a pretty good job in this regard; as long as you spend some elemental stones, they can help take good care of your family."

The Mei Fu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "That's because you have many elemental stones. Ordinary Disciples can't afford such high protection fees."

"Haha, three hundred elemental stones a year is quite expensive for ordinary Disciples, but for me, it's not much at all."

Lin Yuan had accumulated over fifty thousand elemental stones by confiscating the Sun Family's assets, and from Song Mian's and Cao Jun's Storage Pouches, plus the Hundred-City League championship reward. Naturally, he wouldn't care about a mere three hundred elemental stones.

"By the way, Chaner, you're an Inner Sect Disciple, right? Do you need to report back to the Inner Sect after being away for so long?"

Suddenly thinking of this, Lin Yuan turned his head to ask.

"Inner Sect Disciples don't need to report; they just need to pass the Assessment held every six months to stay and continue enjoying Inner Sect benefits."

"I see. What's the difference between the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect? Can you tell us?"

"Unlike the general mix of the Outer Sect, the Inner Sect has seven peaks: Cloud Sovereign Peak, Yunxia Peak, Yun Yao Peak, Yun Zhan Peak, Yunbing Peak, Cloud Soul Peak, and Cloud Art Peak."

"What exactly do these seven peaks Cultivate?"

"Cloud Sovereign Peak is the main peak of the Cloud Ripple Sect, leading the seven peaks and managing the entire Sect. Yunxia Peak's Cultivation Technique is soft and feminine, with most of its members being women. Yun Yao Peak Cultivates Spells and Divine Abilities, and utilizes various elemental powers, encompassing a vast array of practices. Yun Zhan Peak primarily Cultivates the Physical Body, and its members are all battle-loving individuals."

"Yunbing Peak is renowned for its weaponry, with mainstream weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds all being Cultivated, emphasizing the unity of person and weapon. Cloud Soul Peak primarily Cultivates Soul Power, also known as Mental Energy, which is another Cultivation system. As for Cloud Art Peak, it comprises the four pavilions of formations, pills, artifacts, and talismans. Disciples with talent in art refining can choose to further their studies there."

After hearing this explanation, everyone finally gained a general understanding of the Inner Sect's structure.

Lin Yuan mused: "The Cloud Ripple Sect truly lives up to its name as a major Sect in the Eastern Region, to actually Cultivate so many different paths."

Lu Yichan explained: "After all, our Sect occupies so much territory, and many new Disciples join every year. Only by opening up more paths can we unearth the potential of every Disciple."

"Hmm, calculating the time, there are only two months left until the next Inner Sect Assessment, right?"

"Yes, with Young Master's current Cultivation at the eighth level of the Opening Meridian Realm, it's unlikely he can achieve a Breakthrough to the Condensing Core Realm within two months."

"What should we do then? If he can't achieve a Breakthrough to Condensing Core, won't our husband have to wait until the assessment after next?"

"Sister, there's no need to worry. Even if Young Master is only at the Opening Meridian Realm, he is more than capable of passing the Inner Sect Assessment."

Lu Yichan uttered this sentence with extreme confidence.

She had personally witnessed him killing multiple third-rank Yao Beasts. With such formidable strength, passing an Inner Sect Assessment would be effortless, wouldn't it?

Lin Yuan also said: "The Assessment isn't difficult for me, but if I enter the Inner Sect, what about Shiniang and the others? Can they come with me?"

Lu Yichan replied: "Yes, after becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, the Sect will issue an Immortal Cave, which is large enough to accommodate dozens of people. At that time, Young Master can bring all the sisters over."

An Immortal Cave!

Upon hearing this, the girls could already envision the scene.

They would live together with their lover, diligently Cultivating day and night, leading a shameless life...

At this thought, their pretty faces immediately flushed.

Lin Yuan said joyfully: "That's really great. From now on, Shiniang won't have to live in this small courtyard anymore."

Gu Shuqin, while feeling shy, couldn't help but say with relief: "I originally thought it would take you a few more years to enter the Inner Sect. Now it seems I truly underestimated my Lin Yuan."

"It's all thanks to Shiniang's excellent guidance."

"Ah, Lin Yuan's strength has become so great, he's already surpassed his master. It seems I won't need to guide him anymore."

"No! Lin Yuan will always need your guidance!"

"You can already slay deacons, what more can I teach you?"

"Of course, it's about teaching your Disciple to practice Cultivation! Have you forgotten that Cultivation Technique was passed down to me by you?"

As Lin Yuan spoke, his large hand had already climbed onto the Mei Fu's dress, subtly causing mischief.
