62: Chapter 62 An Iron Pestle Can Be Ground into a Needle? For Fu Rui's sake, I'll risk everything!

Hehuan Sect, Main Hall.

A rare moment of post-coital clarity.

Wang Yang slumped in a grand armchair, holding a cup of spiritual tea with ten times the usual amount of goji berries. He stared longingly at the [Mission Hall] on the System panel.

[Mission One: Spreading the Foliage (Long-term)]

[Description: As the number one Divine Sect of the myriad heavens, how can its population be so sparse? Please, Host, recruit talented individuals and fill the harem... ahem, fill the Sect!]

[Requirement: Beauty score must be greater than 90!]

[Progress: 4/7 (Requirement for next stage reward upgrade: Upgrade Mall to LV4).]

[Reward: Two god-level beauty preservation pills (beautifying and anti-aging, eternal youth). One top-grade Magic Treasure (random).]

Shifting his gaze to the right, there was a pink-gold locked icon:

[Special Functional Building — myriad realms dao companion summoning pool (LV4 Locked)]

In that mist-shrouded pool, one could vaguely see the phantom of a nine-tailed fox, a playful girl with cat ears, an angel with wings on her back, and even a mature beauty trailing a dragon tail...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Now this is the good stuff!"

Wang Yang swallowed hard, his eyes shimmering with the light of what he called a dream:

"If I can unlock this pool, I can recruit fox-eared girls, cat-eared girls, dragon maids, and other furry Disciples in the future..."

"Just thinking about those days feels like heaven!"

"When the time comes, rubbing a cat's head with my left hand and stroking a fox's tail with my right—now that's what you call cultivating immortality!"

However, looking at the [4/7] progress bar, Wang Yang let out a long sigh and rubbed his somewhat aching lower back.

"I still need three more..."

"My current four wives are all top-tier, which has spoiled my taste. This Seat won't settle for ordinary women, and the mission panel won't recognize them either."

"But this grand plan for furries still has a long way to go..."

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days had passed.

To achieve furry freedom as soon as possible and to raise Liu Ruyan's cultivation quickly,

Wang Yang had completely transformed into a tireless old ox over these seven days, toiling away among the four peerless beauties.

Especially with Liu Ruyan.

To fulfill his promise of letting her form her core, the extra 'private lessons' Wang Yang gave her reached an almost outrageous level.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! After seven days of hard work...]

[Dao Companion Liu Ruyan has accumulated much and broken through, her cultivation rising by four levels in a row!]

[Promoted from the third level of Foundation Establishment (Early Foundation Establishment Stage) to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment (Foundation Establishment Stage Late Stage)!]

[Triggered Domain expansion mechanism: +1km per level in Foundation Establishment Stage, totaling +4 kilometers!]

Although Liu Ruyan hadn't formed her core yet, seeing the surging spiritual energy within her body, she was so excited that every time she saw Wang Yang, she would blush and call out, "Husband, you're amazing."

And besides Liu Ruyan, Su Qingge was not left behind either.

As a former Saintess, her talent was already extremely high, and with the addition of Wang Yang's 'humanoid cultivation cheat'.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Dao Companion Su Qingge has broken through a minor Realm!]

[Promoted from the first level of Golden Core to the second level of Golden Core (Golden Core Stage Early Stage)!]

[Golden Core Stage Breakthrough rewards are generous, Domain radius +10 kilometers!]

As for Ye Qingcheng and Lin Xiaowan, although they didn't break through their Realms, their cultivation had also improved significantly.

Of course.

The one who gained the most was still Wang Yang himself!

As the leader of the "Supreme Yin-Yang Creation Scripture," he was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing every trace of Yin essence and Spiritual Qi that overflowed during cultivation.

Coupled with the not-too-shabby conversion rate of his LV3 True Spiritual Root,

his cultivation had practically taken off like a rocket!

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Cultivation has surged!]

[Surged from the third level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment (Foundation Establishment Stage Late Stage)!]

[Only one step away from the Great Dao of the Golden Core!]

[Triggered Domain expansion mechanism: Totaling +6 kilometers!]

[Current total Domain radius: 79.05 + 4 + 10 + 6 = 99.05 kilometers!]

[Cultivation frequency points reward: 70 times multiplied by 5000 points = 350,000 points]

"Ninety-nine kilometers..."

Wang Yang felt the Invincible Domain that was about to break the hundred-kilometer mark, and a sense of heroic pride welled up in his heart.

However, pride was one thing; his physical frame really couldn't take it anymore...

At this moment, Wang Yang was hiding behind a pillar in the main hall, his eyes slightly dark-circled and his legs even a bit wobbly.

As the saying goes: a field is never plowed to death, but an ox can be worked to exhaustion.

Over the past half month, because the four wives were the passive recipients, their cultivation had improved, and they were all energetic and radiant.

Three Golden Core Stage (Ye Qingcheng, Su Qingge, Lin Xiaowan) and one Foundation Establishment Stage (Liu Ruyan).

And him? Although he had reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he still hadn't formed his core after all!

It was one against four, and a cross-Realm challenge at that!

"No! I need a break!"

"If I keep practicing like this, I'll die of exhaustion before I can even summon a beast-eared girl!"

Wang Yang leaned against the pillar and opened the [Mission Hall] again, hoping to find something to distract them.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto [Mission Two].

The previous [Mission Two] about recruiting Disciples was gone.

[Mission Two: Border Crisis (Limited Time)]

[Description: Sunset City, located 90 kilometers due south of the Sect, is a small border city between the Human Race of the Southern Wasteland Region and the Yao Race of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. At this moment, a small-scale beast tide is gathering and is about to strike Sunset City.]

[Requirement: Repel the beast tide and protect the local peace.]

[Reward: 200,000 points, several random Medicinal Pills, four random Magic Treasures.]

"90 kilometers?"

Wang Yang stroked his chin.

"The current Domain radius is 99.05 kilometers, so Sunset City... is exactly within my Domain's range."

As long as it was within the Domain, Wang Yang was a god.

He didn't even need to leave the house; with just a single thought, he could make that so-called beast tide vanish instantly.

"I could have just insta-killed them..."

Wang Yang glanced toward the harem, where the sounds of the women laughing and playing were coming from. They seemed to be discussing how to toss him around tonight.

He shuddered, then revealed a calculating smile.

"No! This beast tide cannot be destroyed!"

"This is a rare opportunity to send my wives away!"

"It's perfect for letting them go out for some experience and vent their excess energy. I can take the chance to... catch up on some sleep!"

...

Half an hour later, in the Mission Hall.

The four peerless beauties received the message and gathered together.

Their faces were rosy, their skin as white as snow, and their eyes were full of charm.

Seeing Wang Yang come out, Lin Xiaowan was the first to pounce:

"Revered Master~ Where are we going to Cultivate today? I want to try that cultivation posture Revered Master mentioned!"

Wang Yang's legs went weak, and he quickly pulled a long face, putting on a sacred and inviolable Sect Master persona, saying deeply:

"Nonsense!"

"All you think about is cultivation all day long, where is your decorum!"

The four women were stunned, all looking at Wang Yang in confusion.

Wang Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking south with a deep gaze, his voice becoming aged and majestic:

"Just now, This Seat received a Divine Thought message from the Ancestral Master!"

"Ancestral Master?" Ye Qingcheng was startled, "Does the Ancestral Master have another mission?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Yang spoke nonsense with a straight face:

"The Ancestral Master manifested and said that although our Hehuan Sect has been rebuilt, the Disciples are too comfortable and lack the tempering of blood and fire."

"Therefore, the Ancestral Master personally issued a trial mission!"

He pointed at the mission panel (the Hehuan Sect members could see the mission panel, but they would only think it was issued by the Ancestral Master):

"In Sunset City, ninety kilometers away, there is a threat from a Yao Race beast tide!"

"The Ancestral Master has ordered: Ye Qingcheng shall lead the team, with Su Qingge, Lin Xiaowan, and Liu Ruyan accompanying her. Set out for Sunset City immediately to repel the beast tide and protect the people!"

"This mission will last for three days! Even if the beast tide is completely eliminated, you must eliminate any hidden dangers!"

"You may only return to the Sect to report back after three days!"

"This..."

The four women looked at each other.

Although they were reluctant to leave their husband, since it was his command, it was absolutely not to be disobeyed.

Moreover, Battle Intent ignited in Ye Qingcheng's eyes:

"Husband, rest assured! Since it is the Ancestral Master's trial, Qingcheng will not fail the mission!"

"We will set off now and slaughter those Yao Beasts until not a single one remains!"

Lin Xiaowan also waved her fist: "Hmph! It's the perfect time to test my Golden Core phenomenon on those Yao Beasts!"

"Go!"

Wang Yang waved his hand with a 'I have high hopes for you' expression.

Watching the four women fly away on their swords and disappear into the horizon,

Wang Yang breathed a long sigh of relief and instantly slumped onto the steps, shouting without any regard for his image:

"They're gone! Finally gone!"

"System! Quick! Exchange for some All-Powerful Tonic Soup for me!"

"For these three days, I'm going to sleep! I'll get angry at anyone who tries to wake me!"

However, Wang Yang didn't know.

Just as he was preparing to enjoy his hard-won single's vacation,

the messenger of the [Righteous Path Alliance], whom Holy Lord Tianshui had high hopes for, had already quietly stepped into the territory of the Southern Wasteland Region...
