173: Family marriage

Liu Xuan, possessing a special spirit body, was the Sect's youngest Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, Ancestor Qingyun's Personal Disciple, Sect Master True Person Xiao's handpicked Core Disciple, Hall Master of the outer Sect's Talisman Hall and Dual Cultivation Hall, and the current Head Senior Brother...

The beauty pageant following the annual outer Sect assessment was becoming grander, and this year was even more so; many women from cultivation families in the county towns joined the Sect, just aiming to become Liu Xuan's Concubine.

The Red Pine Sect's territory was only so large; news of what happened in Yongning spread quickly, and everyone knew at least a little something about it.

Liu Xuan had a bright future, and he treated his Concubines and children extremely well. Once they had children, their treatment improved even more, which was countless times better than working hard on Sect tasks.

This year, Liu Xuan became the Hall Master of the Dual Cultivation Hall, with Liu Qingqing and several other women in charge. With the full cooperation of the Dual Cultivation Hall's upper management, the beauty pageant was handled like a major Sect event.

Talisman Master's courtyard.

Liu Xuan followed custom and looked through the information on Junior Sisters sent by the Dual Cultivation Hall. This was the information left after Liu Qingqing and the others filtered out the unqualified ones.

"There are more people this year than in previous years; it seems my charm is growing!"

Looking at the thickness of the documents, there were probably nearly a hundred, ten percent more than last year.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer qualified Senior Sisters signing up, leaving only the new Junior Sisters each year. The number of newly joined Junior Sisters is fixed, so the number of qualified female Cultivators in the beauty pageant has generally decreased slightly.

After flipping through for a while, Liu Xuan understood why there was more information: because many female Cultivators from cultivation families in the Red Pine territory had signed up.

The Sect is essentially an exploitative organization. Local cultivation families usually only send their most talented descendants to the Sect, hoping they can have a chance to become high-ranking members.

As for those with average talent, the Family even has to pay for them to survive in the Sect; it would be better to just contribute within the Family.

But now it's different. Talent doesn't matter; having a Spiritual Root and being beautiful is enough. Once they are lucky enough to become Liu Xuan's Concubine, they can even bring benefits to their Family.

Mou Xiaoqing: A member of the Mou Family, a Qi Refining Family in Longma County. Not long ago, the Family was slaughtered by Robber Cultivators, the Late Stage Qi Refining Clan Chief was killed, and the Family's assets were confiscated by the Sect and sold cheaply to other local families.

She is thirty-two years old, at the fifth level of Qi Refining, with a sixth-grade Spiritual Root. She was originally the successor cultivated by the Family, but who would have thought such a thing would happen.

After the Family was destroyed, she took a few surviving clansmen to scrape by in Red Pine City.

Joining the Sect this time and signing up to be Liu Xuan's Concubine, she has only one goal: to borrow the power of Liu Xuan and the Sect to take revenge!

"Not bad talent, and even better looks. She has the same petite, loli style as Lin Xue'er and Zhang Kexin, and her temperament is slightly pure. She's just a bit troublesome!"

"Forget it! This little trouble is no big deal!"

After reading Mou Xiaoqing's information, and thinking for a moment, Liu Xuan decided to accept her.

Liu Xuan didn't pay much attention and continued to look through the remaining information, finally selecting ten Concubines.

Actually, he was only truly satisfied with nine, but to make up the number of ten, he quickly looked through the information again and picked one to fill the spot.

Among the ten Concubines, three were female Cultivators from families in various counties. Besides Mou Xiaoqing, the other two were representing Family marriage alliances, hoping to connect with Liu Xuan. Not only did they not mention monthly stipends, but they also brought a dowry for Liu Xuan.

"As long as my cultivation is high and my potential is great, women will deliver themselves to my door. Life is getting better and better!"

"Currently, only three families are sincere about forming a marriage alliance with me. As long as I maintain my cultivation speed and show greater potential, more families will take the initiative to come to me for marriage alliances in the future. In ten or several decades, the Red Pine territory will be full of my fathers-in-law..."

Liu Xuan suddenly realized that when he takes over the Red Pine Sect, governing the Sect will become extremely simple because everyone will be his relative!

"Take these!" Liu Xuan handed the selected female Cultivators' information to Liu Qingqing, who was beside him. "Take them to the small courtyard next door."

"Yes!"

Liu Qingqing took the information and withdrew to go to the Dual Cultivation Hall to pick them up.

Evening.

After a simple wedding ceremony ended, Liu Xuan intended to challenge his own limits; he wanted to take on ten!

Where had the Junior Sisters ever seen such a scene? For a moment, they were scared pale.

They had thought about Dual Cultivation after becoming Liu Xuan's Concubines, and even having children, but they hadn't expected it to be so stimulating right from the start.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xuan was handsome and extraordinary, with well-proportioned, clearly defined muscles, and equally full of attraction to them, they might have regretted it!

Afterwards.

On the wide, large bed, Liu Xuan lay in the center, hugging Mou Xiaoqing and an eighteen-year-old naive Junior Sister on his left and right.

"I should do less of this in the future; it's meaningless!" Liu Xuan thought to himself while taking Medicinal Pills.

His Physical Body was incomparably powerful; dealing with several or ten Concubines at once was no problem, but he only had one body after all, and he couldn't be in two places at once. With too many people, it was meaningless; it was just pure indulgence!

"I heard you married me as a Concubine because you wanted revenge? Do you know who the Robber Cultivators that destroyed your Family are?" Liu Xuan played with Mou Xiaoqing's hair and asked curiously.

Because the pressure was shared by many people, everyone was energetic. Without the obstruction of clothes, the distance between everyone shortened, and they started chatting.

Hearing Liu Xuan ask, they also looked at Mou Xiaoqing curiously.

"I don't know!" Mou Xiaoqing shook her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes. A moment later, her eyes became firm again. "I will definitely find out, and then kill them all!"

The little loli was angry and fierce, which made her look even cuter, making Liu Xuan unable to resist the idea of wanting to help her.

"You should Cultivate properly first. After you find out the exact news, I will send someone to help you take revenge!" Liu Xuan comforted her.

Liu Xuan couldn't help her take revenge personally; he didn't have the spare time. However, if she performed well in the future, sending someone to help her was just a matter of a word, and promising her was fine.

"Thank you, Husband!"

Mou Xiaoqing squeezed into Liu Xuan's arms. She looked strong, but she was actually very sensitive inside and could feel that Liu Xuan was not brushing her off.

Since the Family incident, she had hit walls everywhere, her Spirit Stones were spent, she could only live in a first-grade Low Grade Cultivation Chamber in Red Pine City, she couldn't afford Medicinal Pills, and she had to worry about making a living every day, so her cultivation had almost stagnated.

Liu Xuan gave her Spirit Stones to Cultivate and provided her with an opportunity for revenge. Regardless of how much benefit exchange was involved, she was grateful to Liu Xuan from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Xuan turned to ask about the situation of the other two Concubines from Family marriage alliances. They were both from families in Gumu County near Yongning. The families sent them to marry him, wanting to join the Yongning Merchant Alliance just like those families in Yongning.

The scale of the Yongning Merchant Alliance was getting larger and larger, and since deepening cooperation with the Nether Fire Sect, its influence had begun to spread to surrounding counties.
