324: An Yunmiao

It is difficult to distinguish between a False Core True Person and a Golden Core True Person from the surface. As long as Yue Li does not take the initiative to expose her Divine Ability, no one will know her true Realm.

Yue Li still needs Liu Xuan to help her continue her Cultivation. In the future, she might have a chance to form a Nascent Soul and achieve the status of a Nascent Soul True Lord!

Her interests are aligned with Liu Xuan's. They also have a child with a Grade One Spiritual Root. As long as she isn't foolish, she won't proactively expose herself.

“Husband, Lier wants another child!” Yue Li said, looking at Liu Xuan with deep affection.

“Really?” Liu Xuan teased, “If you love children so much, why did you send De Ming to my sister to be raised last month?”

Yue Li's love for children was always a short-lived passion; she would lose patience after a few months.

Thus, she also sent the child to Liu Xuan's sister, Liu Miao, to be raised. She only went over to visit and play for a while when she missed the child.

Yue Li was a bit embarrassed and gave Liu Xuan a disgruntled look. “Wasn't it because you wanted one? And you're blaming me? Fine, I won't give birth anymore!”

“Don't!” Liu Xuan quickly hugged her to comfort her. “Keep having them. My sister is a professional at raising children; she can handle as many as you give her!”

Liu Miao's status in the Liu Family was somewhat transcendent; one could say she was second only to Liu Xuan.

Of the three hundred children in the Liu Family, she cared for and taught most of them. The children spent more time with her than with Liu Xuan, their father.

The women in the West Courtyard were divided into many factions, and there was no lack of palace-style drama. However, no matter which faction they belonged to, everyone was very respectful to Liu Miao, calling her Sister Miao... Several more months of peaceful days passed, and it had been almost a year since Wang Qiao formed his Core.

The original agreement with the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion was to head to the Peach Blossom Sect Battlefield to fight after one year. For the past two days, Liu Xuan had been contemplating whether to hand over five million Spirit Stones or go to the Peach Blossom Sect Battlefield to take a look.

Previously, he hadn't considered handing over the Spirit Stones because five million would affect the Liu Family's development. But since Fan Yang had gifted ten million last time, the importance of five million Spirit Stones was no longer that great.

“Handing over the Spirit Stones to be safe isn't out of the question. I could peaceably continue having children and strengthening the Family's foundation.”

“Impersonating Wang Qiao to go to the Peach Blossom Sect Battlefield is also an option. I could contact Senior Sister Yun Xian and stay in the rear. The danger wouldn't be high, and I could even bring some Concubines along to have children while looking for development opportunities.”

The situation at the Peach Blossom Sect was already clear; those facing certain death were only the low-level Cultivators below Foundation Establishment.

For a Golden Core True Person, as long as they didn't have a great thirst for military merit and didn't proactively rush into dangerous places, it actually wasn't that easy to die.

Moreover, Liu Xuan possessed the Divine Ability of Rebirth from a Drop of Blood. Even if a major upheaval occurred, the possibility of him dying there was extremely low; the risk was actually not that great.

In Cultivating the Dao, how could there be anything without a bit of risk? Besides, in this turbulent situation, it was hard to say that staying in the Red Pine Sect was much safer than the Peach Blossom Sect Battlefield.

Liu Xuan was more inclined to go to the Peach Blossom Sect to take a look. If nothing unexpected happened, the future direction of the Liu Family's development would be the Peach Blossom Sect, and subsequently, the Endless Demon Court.

Regardless of whether the Beast Taming Sect or the Demon Court won or lost, a large territorial vacuum would be created. Compared to fighting for territory within the strict rules of the Azure Profound Sect and its entire system, it was better to follow the Beast Taming Sect to reap the dividends of war.

However, there was no rush. He would prepare for now and wait until the one-year agreement with the Sword Pavilion was up.

South Courtyard.

Under the phoenix tree.

“Father, I have already initiated the Heavenly Scripture of Beast Taming you let me Cultivate. Where is the gift you promised me?”

The speaker was his eighty-third daughter, Liu Lingmeng, twenty-two years old, with a Qi Refining Third Layer cultivation.

Ling Meng's Spiritual Root was only Grade Eight, which wasn't outstanding among her siblings. However, her status was special; she was the third child of the primary wife, Lin Xue'er, and her first child with a Spiritual Root. Therefore, she had been very pampered since childhood.

“It's right there!” Liu Xuan pointed to a tortoise shell lying under the phoenix tree.

Ling Meng looked at the Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise, which had retracted its entire body into its shell for a nap, and said in surprise: “The gift Father mentioned is this?!”

She knew this big tortoise; back at White Crane Lake, her eldest brother used to like practicing martial arts on its back.

“Does Father mean for Little Black to be my Natal Contracted Beast?” Ling Meng asked.

“You don't like it?”

Ling Meng pursed her lips. “It's not that I don't like it, it's just that Little Black is too ugly!”

“Little Black is almost at Qi Refining Perfection and can Breakthrough to a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast within a few years. If you don't like it, I'll give it to one of your other brothers or sisters!”

A Myriad Longevity Black Tortoise normally takes a hundred years to reach Foundation Establishment. After some squeezing by Liu Xuan, it could reach Foundation Establishment in about thirty years. It indeed wouldn't take many more years to become a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast.

However, it would take at least two to three hundred years for it to promote to a Golden Core Yao Beast. After Foundation Establishment, its help to its master would not be great.

If used as a Natal Contracted Beast, a child with too much talent would find it a burden later on, while for a child with too little talent, it would be a pure waste.

Liu Xuan considered it and finally decided to give it to his daughter Ling Meng, whose talent and Comprehension Ability were both average. At least it could help her achieve Foundation Establishment faster.

The Eldest Son, Dao Yuan, had already contracted the Big Black Ox with a Fourth Tier Bloodline. Dao Long and Ling Feng, the twins, were also about to start their Cultivation Technique training. At that time, all the Yao Beast pets could be put to use.

“Alright!” Ling Meng steeled her heart; ugly was fine! She knew her own talent, and for her father to give her Little Black as a contracted beast was already showing great favoritism!

Liu Xuan nodded and raised his hand, striking the tortoise's back with a burst of Qi, startling it into scrambling up.

Then, Liu Xuan ordered it to cooperate with Ling Meng to complete the contract and to assist her in Cultivation with all its might in the future.

“Little Black! Don't always think about sleeping. Eat more, Cultivate more, and exercise more every day. Only then can you become a useful tortoise!” Liu Xuan brainwashed the tortoise while watching his daughter sign the contract with it.

“Look at other Yao Beasts. Which one sleeps all day like you? Your cultivation progress is so slow; think about whether you're not working hard enough...”

As he was speaking, suddenly! Liu Xuan sensed two powerful Auras appearing outside the Sect through the Star Array.

With a flash of light, he disappeared from his chair and instantly appeared before the Mountain Gate Array.

Outside the Red Pine Sect Array.

A woman in a crimson dress floated in mid-air. A belt accentuated her slender waist and long legs; her body proportions were quite exaggerated.

The crimson dress had no extra patterns; it was just pure bright red, carrying an inexplicable pressure of Aura.

Her exquisite, small, fair face matched her tall figure and crimson dress perfectly, instantly imprinting itself deep into Liu Xuan's mind.

Beside her was a Big Black Bear that looked almost identical to Dashan. The woman's face was seventy percent similar to An Yunxi's, and Liu Xuan immediately guessed her identity.

An Yunxi's Genius elder sister, An Yunmiao!

An Yunmiao floated in mid-air, frowning as she stared at the Sect below. Seeing the three large words 'Red Pine Sect' at the mountain gate, she finally confirmed that this was the destination.

‘My sister has been suffering in this kind of small place all these years? Is this how Junior Brother Yunhe has been looking after my sister?!’

She secretly decided in her heart that the next time she saw Yunhe, she would definitely give him a good lesson!
