295: Food and sex are human nature

Liu Xuan possesses a special Physique and has cultivated a profound Dual Cultivation Technique that can assist female Cultivators in accelerating their Cultivation speed; the lower the female Cultivator's cultivation level, the better the effect. This has long ceased to be a secret.

After all, Liu Xuan's restrictions on the women in the West Courtyard are not very strong. With hundreds of mouths to feed, it is impossible for him to block everything, and many unimportant secrets spread sooner or later.

Of course! Some important secrets are never told to low-Rank Concubines. As for the Dual Cultivation Technique, there is simply no way around it; Liu Xuan must touch them, and needless to say, they can feel it themselves.

This time, when Xia He and Lu Ping both achieved a Breakthrough and became Foundation Establishment Ancestors, news spread that Liu Xuan could not only assist his Dao Companions in their Cultivation but also help them break through their Bottleneck. Most people believed it very quickly.

Just a few days later, the Sect Disciples went crazy!

The male Disciples were envious and jealous, exclaiming that there was no justice in the world. Most wished they could take Liu Xuan's place, while a small portion hated themselves for not being women...

The female Disciples were even crazier. Every day, countless female Disciples gathered at the mountain pass below the hillside, hoping to catch a glimpse of Liu Xuan when he came out, thinking that perhaps he might take a fancy to them?

Among the Inner Sect Disciples, there are about three hundred female Disciples, and half of them have come to the West Courtyard to seek an audience with Liu Xuan. Even those who were eliminated in the previous beauty pageant dressed up again, hoping to try one more time.

West Courtyard.

Liu Xuan was chatting with Yue Li, while his daughter Ling Miao, holding little daughter Spirit Phoenix's hand, listened intently.

Daughter Ling Miao is the thirty-first child, and her mother is Bai Zhiwei. Because Liu Xuan's sister, Liu Miao, is particularly fond of her, she is one of the most noticed girls in the Family.

She is twenty-three years old, with a Martial Dao cultivation of Middle Stage Xiantian, and her Qi Refining cultivation recently broke through to the fourth level. She has already become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sect based on her own talent.

Among Liu Xuan's children, few have broken through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining. Strictly speaking, the Eldest Son, Dao Yuan, has not even broken through because he has no Spiritual Root.

So far, the only ones who have broken through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining are Dao Ming, Ninth Son, Xia He's Eldest Son Dao Yong, She Xiaorong's Eldest Son Daoyun, and Yan Qingyao's eldest daughter Lingyue—five in total.

Breaking through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining before the age of twenty-five is considered a Genius in the Sect; they can enter the Inner Sect early and become Inner Sect Disciples.

The Red Pine Sect has only five or six hundred Inner Sect Disciples in total, and there are only about a hundred or so Genius Disciples at the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

Other Families would Cultivate a Genius the moment one appeared, but the Liu Family has already produced five, and they pop up from time to time.

Moreover, many of Liu Xuan's older children do not have Spiritual Roots. Before obtaining the spirit treasure genealogy, they focused entirely on Martial Dao and did not have much contact with Qi Refining Cultivation Techniques.

In the long run, once they start breaking through to the Great Perfection of Xiantian and directly advance to the Late Qi Refining Stage, the talent of the Liu Family descendants will terrify everyone.

"Ling Miao, take your sister to play elsewhere first. Your father has important matters to handle."

Liu Xuan saw Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang approaching with a booklet; the following matters were not suitable to discuss in front of the children.

"Alright, Father!"

"Little sister Spirit Phoenix, big sister will take you to find Aunt Miao to play, okay?"

"Okay! Okay!"

Spirit Phoenix held her sister Ling Miao's hand and skipped towards the jade phoenix tree in the South Courtyard.

"Husband, this is the detailed information of the women who signed up, sent by the Dual Cultivation Hall."

Xiao Shuang held a thick stack of documents, all of which were profiles of Sect female Cultivators who had been clamoring to become Liu Xuan's Concubines over the past two days.

Unlike the previous Sect beauty pageant, many of those who signed up this time were Inner Sect Disciples with cultivation levels reaching the Late Qi Refining Stage, and their talents were all quite good.

To be able to Cultivate to the Late Qi Refining Stage, one would not be lacking in any aspect; their Spiritual Roots were basically Rank 7 or above, with a few at Rank 8 or 9.

The Red Pine Sect maintains tens of thousands of Disciples year-round, yet there are always only five or six hundred Inner Sect Disciples, which is enough to prove the value of the Late Qi Refining Stage.

In the past, no matter how good the treatment was for being Liu Xuan's Concubine, many female Cultivators at the Late Qi Refining Stage in the Inner Sect would not be tempted. This time, with Xia He and Lu Ping successfully achieving a Breakthrough, they finally could not hold back.

Regardless of whether their own conditions were suitable or not, they all wanted to try first. The temptation of Foundation Establishment was too great!

Liu Xuan flipped through the booklet Xiao Shuang handed over. Must say! Being able to Cultivate to the Late Qi Refining Stage, these women were all quite beautiful; at the very least, they were not ugly.

It's just that they were a bit old, most being fifty or sixty and above, and some had low moral character, capable of doing anything.

'If it were ten or twenty years ago, I would have tolerated it and taken them all in. But now...'

Liu Xuan first selected the most beautiful women among them, and then, based on a comprehensive assessment of their situations, picked out the few that were most to his liking.

Handing their profiles to Xiao Shuang, Liu Xuan instructed, "Arrange for these few to come to the West Courtyard. Start them as maidservants; I will observe them for a period of time first."

With over three hundred Concubines and hundreds of maidservants in the West Courtyard, Liu Xuan is not short of women now.

He strives hard every day, averaging five, six, seven, or eight Concubines a day; some Junior Sisters only get a turn once every two months.

Ordinary women no longer hold much attraction for Liu Xuan. In the last two years of the Sect beauty pageant, only the top three had the opportunity to enter the West Courtyard; the difficulty has become increasingly higher.

Only stunning Junior Sisters who catch his eye, or high-status women like Yue Li, An Yunxi, and Shen Yunshu, are worth Liu Xuan's effort. Other ordinary Late Qi Refining Stage female Cultivators can no longer catch his eye.

"Yes!"

Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang took the list selected by Liu Xuan, went to the Dual Cultivation Hall to notify them, and then sent people to lead them into the West Courtyard.

"Junior Brother, you are truly obsessed with lust! With hundreds of women in this West Courtyard, isn't it enough? You still want to arrange for more people to come in!"

Yue Li hadn't spoken just now, but after the others left, she finally expressed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Food and sex are human nature!"

"A gentleman's love for beauty is the Heavenly Dao!"

"Women are naturally delicate; helping one counts as one, so naturally, the more the better. How can it ever be enough?"

"You..."

Yue Li was speechless. Liu Xuan had always been like this in this regard; she couldn't stop him, and saying more was useless.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Liu Xuan is easy to talk to most of the time; once his principles are touched, he immediately turns cold and heartless.

...

Half a month later.

The Foundation Establishment Grand Ceremony for Xia He and Lu Ping was held on time. Although it was not as grand as the ceremony Liu Xuan held last time, it was still quite lively.

The Liu Family has immense power, with tentacles spreading throughout the entire Red Pine Sect territory, and has relationships with nearby Golden Core Sects, including the Beast Taming Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, so there were quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came.

The entire ceremony was extremely harmonious, and there was no trouble like last time. Liu Xuan only appeared at the opening, and afterwards, people from the Sect were responsible for the reception.

Liu Xuan particularly dislikes hypocritical pleasantries and empty talk. If he can avoid appearing at celebrations, he will. With that time, it is better to Cultivate relationships with Junior Sisters.

After the formal Foundation Establishment Grand Ceremony ended, while Liu Xuan was in the West Courtyard flirting with a Junior Sister who had just joined the Sect, Yue Li brought an important guest to see him.

It was none other than Yue Li's Revered Master, the Late Golden Core Great True Person, Shen Yunshu!
