Meanwhile, two women were sitting side by side in front of a large alchemy furnace, and they were very focused on concocting pills within the furnace.
Before long, a pill fragrance began to spread within the room, and they immediately lowered the intensity of their flames.
"Sigh." One of the women heaved a sigh of relief after their pill entered its refinement stage; she then asked the woman beside her. "Is Sheng Jun still bothering you, Xiangyue?"
"No, Master." Hua Xiangyue answered Qin Zheng with a shake of the head. "Ever since he gave the tracking mark to me, he hasn't come to meet me again; it seems he has no intention of forcing me to become his woman soon, and he is waiting for me to fulfill his request with my own will."
Hearing that, Qin Zheng sighed in relief, but then she said angrily. "That Sheng Jun is a bastard! He already has five wives, but he still wants you to be his woman."
"Is he a dual cultivator, Master?"
"No, he's not a dual cultivator, but he's quite the pervert. Anyway, have you contacted your family yet?"
"I already contacted my father, but I didn't tell him about my situation. Otherwise, he would have definitely come here to look for me, and that would have put his life in danger. However, he asked me to return home immediately, and he wants to marry me to my fiancé."
"Sigh, how did you come home with that tracking mark still on your body?"
"How strong is Sheng Jun really, Master?"
"Hmm? His cultivation is now at the 9th Stage Ancestor Origin Realm, and he is the fourth strongest person on this continent."
Hearing that, Hua Xiangyue let out a disappointed sigh. If she forced her escape from the Holy Central Continent, she was certain that Sheng Jun would hunt her down, and he would definitely massacre her family.
"Then what about your fiancé? Have you contacted him yet?"
Hua Xiangyue shook her head. "I dare not contact him, Master."
"Why?"
"I heard from my father that he's been doing all kinds of crazy things on the southern continent, and if I contact him now, I'm sure he'll come straight here to pick me up, and it will cost his life."
"What crazy things has he done?" Qin Zheng curiously asked; although Hua Xiangyue had lived with her for quite a while, he still didn't know much about her private life, let alone about Xia Tian.
Hua Xiangyue sighed softly and replied. "He has already slaughtered the two major families of the southern continent, and one of them is his grandmother's family."
"What!? He slaughtered his grandmother's family? He's truly insane!" Qin Zheng was completely shocked to hear that. It was natural for cultivators to kill their enemies, but he was really shocked to hear Xia Tian slaughtering his own family.
"En." Hua Xiangyue simply nodded at her. "To be honest, I myself don't know Xia Tian very well. Although I have given myself to him, our relationship is too shallow, and I did it because I felt humiliated by his indifference to me."
Qin Zheng smiled wryly upon hearing that; she herself knew that her disciple had high self-esteem. Moreover, she was very beautiful and sexy, no wonder she felt that way when a man was indifferent to her. "Then what do you know about him other than his alchemy abilities?"
"Nothing." Hua Xiangyue shook her head with a bitter smile. "You might think I'm weird, Master. I gave myself to him the second time I met him, so I didn't know anything about him other than his alchemy skills. But according to my father, he was an extraordinary young man, and he could even defeat a cultivator in the Heaven Origin Realm without breaking a sweat."
"If a seventeen-year-old young man can pull off such a thing, then he really is an extraordinary man." Qin Zheng felt astonished hearing that, and she was certain that disciples in her sect who were Xia Tian's age would not be able to do such a thing. But alas, she and Hua Xiangyue didn't know about the real him, and he couldn't be compared to the young men in the Seven Star World.
Before long, the pills in the furnace were completely condensed. They immediately extinguished their fire and took the pills from the furnace, and they smiled with satisfaction upon seeing them.

Above Flying Artifact
"You really are a pervert now, Little Qi." Xia Tian said as he caressed the back of Mo Xiaoqi, who was lying on top of him, and their genitals were still connected. But he felt very satisfied after dual cultivating with her for a long time because her physique had gotten stronger thanks to her bloodline becoming more and more integrated with her body.
Mo Xiaoqi giggled at that. "It's been a while since we last dual cultivated, so I miss you so much, young master."
"I miss you too, Little Qi. Anyway, I will be going into seclusion after returning from the ancient ruins, and I want all of you to come with me."
"En, I will follow your will, young master." Mo Xiaoqi then sat on top of his body. "But before that, you are mine alone, and I want to continue."
"Alright." Xia Tian replied with a nod, and they began to dual cultivate again.
-------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Bing Huang sat in the stern restlessly, thinking about Xia Tian's dual cultivating with Mo Xiaoqi. She pressed her hand to her heart, feeling a strange sensation that grew stronger as she thought about them. "What is this feeling exactly? Why does seeing him with another woman make me sad? Moreover, Xiaoqi is his woman, and I have no relationship with him."
*Tap... Tap...*
"Why are you so pensive alone here, Bing Huang?" Feng Xian'er asked as she sat beside him.
Bing Huang turned her head and looked at her hesitantly, but she finally said to her. "I have a strange feeling in my heart, Elder Feng."
"Hmm? What strange feeling do you mean?"
"Somehow, I feel sad seeing Xia Tian with another woman."
Feng Xian'er was stunned hearing that, and she looked at Bing Huang in amusement. But she then remembered that she was their sect's ice queen, and she had never gotten close to any men, and she always chased away the male disciples who tried to get close to her.
Feng Xian'er then put her arm around her shoulders. "If you feel that way, it means you have fallen in love with Xia Tian."
"Eh? I've fallen in love with him?" Bing Huang looked at Feng Xian'er in confusion, as she didn't feel that way.
"Yes! I know that you always live alone in your cold world, so you don't understand your own feelings." Bing Huang fell silent upon hearing that, and Feng Xian'er then continued. "Although I don't have a partner now, but I once fell in love with a man. Unfortunately, we were not destined to be together because he chose another woman, and I felt sad for a long time because of that."
"Am I really in love with him?" Bing Huang muttered to herself, and she still didn't understand her own feelings.
"To be honest, I myself was surprised to see you around Xia Tian, and it made me really curious about the relationship between the two of you. How did you actually meet him?"
Bing Huang thought for a while, then she told him about her initial meeting with Xia Tian. After that, she took out the Red Luan Whip from his storage ring. "Xia Tian gave me this whip and an armor, and Elder Qin said he made them especially for me."
"Hmm? Immortal grade?" Feng Xian'er was shocked to see the whip. "I heard from Qing that Xia Tian's forging ability is formidable, but I didn't expect that he could make a weapon and an armor of immortal grade. You are really lucky to get both from him; not everyone can have both. Moreover, he made them especially for you, and that means he thinks you're special to him."
Hearing that, Bing Huang tightly gripped the Red Luan Whip, and she felt even more strange in her heart.
Feng Xian'er shook her head, seeing her like that. "Sooner or later, you will understand your own feelings, but I'm sure that you are indeed in love with him."
"En." Bing Huang nodded and put the whip back into her storage ring before turning to Feng Xian'er and asking. "Then what about you, Elder Feng?"

2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
