98: Liu Xuan wants to take a concubine again!

Two days later.

A message spread from the Dual Cultivation Hall, quickly reaching the entire Sect.

Liu Xuan is going to take a Concubine again!

According to the Dual Cultivation Hall, any female Cultivator chosen by Liu Xuan would lack nothing: Spirit Stones, cultivation residence, daily necessities, and could even be assigned a leisurely position in the Talisman Hall!

Not only that, the better the Aptitude and higher the cultivation level of the female Cultivator, the more benefits she could receive, and she could even set her own conditions.

"This is too outrageous!"

"With Liu Xuan doing this, how can we Cultivate in peace?"

"I propose we ask the Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to punish him for disrupting the atmosphere and fine his Spirit Stones!"

"Right!"

A Cultivator dressed like a scholar clapped in agreement.

"Just this morning, my Junior Sister..." he said with indignation, "my fellow Disciple Junior Sister secretly went to the Dual Cultivation Hall to sign up!"

That was his beloved Junior Sister! They had agreed to become Dao Companions once their future prospects were exhausted, but now...

Love really is deceptive! It was all in vain.

"What's that compared to this!"

A middle-aged Cultivator said with even more grief: "My Dao Companion also secretly signed up."

"If a friend in the Dual Cultivation Hall hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known!"

"This..."

...

"By the way, who is this Liu Xuan, daring to do such a rebellious thing?"

Although Liu Xuan was famous, he wasn't known to everyone. A Cultivator who usually didn't pay attention to Sect gossip asked.

"You don't know Liu Xuan?"

A talkative Cultivator immediately explained: "The Sect's newly rising Talisman Genius. He advanced to First-Rank Mid-Grade Talisman Master within two years of joining, became a Personal Disciple of Ancestor Qingyun, and is now the Revered Master of our Outer Sect Talisman Hall."

"That impressive?"

"There's even more impressive!"

The talkative Cultivator wore an expression that said 'you're so ignorant.' "Liu Xuan is extremely fond of women, can't do without them, and he likes to have these women bear his children!"

"D-doesn't he worry about affecting his cultivation?"

"You don't understand!"

"He has a special Physique. Not only does it not affect his cultivation, but it's actually beneficial!"

"It's said that he already broke through to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining last year, and his cultivation speed is no less than that of a High Grade Spiritual Root Genius!"

"Hmph!"

"With poor Heart-Nature, he might be fast in the early stages, but he'll hardly achieve great success!"

Someone interrupted dismissively.

...

Whether it was because Liu Qingqing was efficient or because the matter itself was eye-catching, Liu Xuan's reputation spread far and wide!

Not only were Outer Sect Disciples discussing it, but even the Inner Sect was talking, and many Foundation Establishment Ancestors had heard about it.

Some didn't care, some treated it as an oddity, and of course, some were displeased.

If Liu Xuan hadn't been a Personal Disciple of Ancestor Qingyun, he would probably have been dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Talisman Masters Small Building.

A group of children were playing in the courtyard. Liu Xuan half-reclined on a lounge chair, playing with the children while flipping through a roster Liu Qingqing had sent.

The roster contained Sect female Disciples who had been screened and basically met Liu Xuan's conditions.

It included their backgrounds, portraits, personalities, preferences... all kinds of comprehensive information.

Too many people had signed up! Even after screening, a roster of over a hundred names was delivered to Liu Xuan daily.

'Aren't Cultivators supposed to be pure and desireless? Why are so many signing up?'

'I guess my charm is just too great!'

"This one's good, petite and cute, my type!"

"This one's also good, curvy and full, definitely great to the touch!"

"This one's also good, pure as a white flower, also my type!"

"This one's also good, slim waist and long legs, gorgeous and enchanting, full of charm."

...

...

Liu Xuan was dazzled by the choices. In the end, he found he had selected too many, and with his current strength, he couldn't take them all.

Sect female Cultivators cost much more Spirit Stones than the maids at the Liu residence in Yongning. Taking too many at once would be beyond his means.

No choice! He had to continue screening, selecting from three angles: appearance, Aptitude, and cultivation level, to pick the best candidates.

He wouldn't bring these Dao Companions and Concubines over just yet. Before that, Liu Xuan had an important matter to handle!

He needed to go to Ancestor Qingyun first to explain and gain his support!

Liu Xuan didn't care about the various rumors and discussions outside. As long as Ancestor Qingyun was fine with it, nothing would go wrong!

Just as Liu Xuan put down the roster and was about to head to the Nameless Daoist Temple to visit his Revered Master, Lin Junjie arrived with two women.

"Senior Brother Lin, this is..."

Liu Xuan's gaze swept to the two women behind him. One had a proud demeanor, wore a Dharma sword at her waist, and had a sharp aura.

The other had a gentle temperament, like a delicate beauty from a small family, with proper manners, resembling a well-educated noble lady.

"Junior Brother Liu, it's been a while since Yongning! I've missed you!"

Lin Junjie looked at Liu Xuan. "I've come this time to ask a favor!"

"Oh?"

Liu Xuan gestured to the stone table in the courtyard, ordered a servant to serve tea, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, please speak."

Although Liu Xuan and Lin Junjie had little connection and had only met a few times in Yongning,

the latter had at least agreed to his father-in-law Lin Tianyue to look after him. If it was a small matter, helping wouldn't hurt.

Lin Junjie gestured to the sword-bearing woman. "This is my cousin, Lin Yuanshuang."

Then he gestured to the other woman. "And this is my own sister, Lin Yiyi."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Liu!"

Both women bowed simultaneously.

Before Liu Xuan could ask, Lin Junjie continued, "Previously, the Old Ancestor ordered a marriage between Cousin Yuanshuang and you, Junior Brother Liu. But Yuanshuang is focused solely on the Dao and has no intention of marrying. Could you perhaps take my sister Lin Yiyi as your Dao Companion instead?"

???

Liu Xuan was bewildered!

Then he suddenly remembered: the Old Ancestor had indeed said he would find him a few Prodigy daughters from the Lin family.

Nothing had happened for so long, and Liu Xuan thought the Old Ancestor had forgotten. It turned out there was an internal issue—the other party wasn't willing.

Once he understood, Liu Xuan waved his hand. "Senior Brother Lin, you're too kind. I'm not one to force others. Since the two ladies are unwilling, I'll just inform the Old Ancestor. No need to swap anyone!"

Liu Xuan had always followed the principle of being kind to others and not causing trouble.

Although these two Lin sisters were beautiful, they weren't essential.

"No, no, no!"

"The Old Ancestor's marriage decree can't be easily rejected! If he blames us, we won't be able to bear it!"

"If you, Junior Brother, take the initiative to say you prefer Sister Yiyi, the Old Ancestor probably won't think much of it."

Liu Xuan looked at the three of them, his expression turning strange. Lin Junjie seemed very eager to swap his own sister for his cousin.

He looked at Lin Yiyi, who was lowering her head. "Miss, are you truly willing to be my Dao Companion?"

"I..."

Lin Yiyi glanced at her brother Lin Junjie and said softly, "I am willing."

"Miss, you don't need to have any concerns. If the Old Ancestor blames anyone, I'll take full responsibility!"

Liu Xuan said calmly.

Lin Yiyi glanced at Lin Junjie again. "I am willing," she said, her voice slightly louder than before.
