As Xia Tian and his women strolled around the vermilion capital city, people's eyes kept on them, and many of the men stared at the several women with lustful gazes.
Although they didn't recognize Xia Tian's identity, those people definitely recognized Zhu Honglian as Zhu Yuhe's daughter, and they immediately turned their eyes away from the women.
Xia Tian could only shake his head at their behavior; as long as they didn't have bad thoughts or do bad things to his women, he wouldn't do anything to them either.
'Sigh, I don't understand why they love shopping so much.' Xia Tian muttered in his heart, seeing his women buy so many things at several merchants. However, most of them bought things for Shen Huang, and that made him smile. 'They truly dote on Little Huang, huh?'
[Hey, master! You still haven't opened the Hidden Gift Pack [2].]
'Oh? I forgot about it; you can open it, Alice.'
[Alrighty!]
After that, several notifications appeared in Xia Tian's mind.

5. ----]
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows after reading all the notifications; he didn't care about the items in the item shop, but the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda caught his interest. 'What is the function of the pagoda, Alice?'
[Heaven Suppressing Pagoda: The owner can use it to suppress and confine any human, demon, devil, or ghost. Apart from that, the owner can also use it to refine their souls.]
'Oh?' Xia Tian was surprised to read the description. 'Hey, the pagoda sure is amazing, but I don't think it will be easy to use it, and it will definitely drain my energy.'
[You are absolutely correct, master. If you use the Heaven Suppressing Pagoda with your current cultivation, I think your energy will be instantly drained clean.]
Xia Tian nodded in agreement with her words, then he read through the two techniques.
[Soul Link Technique: The user can temporarily transfer a portion of his cultivation to those connected with this technique, be they humans or beasts.]
[Rebirth Technique: It's extremely dangerous to discard your cultivation and re-cultivate once more, but the gains you obtain would be enormous. Because every single time you re-cultivate, it will strengthen your body and soul.]
Xia Tian's expression became shocked after he read the Rebirth Technique's description. 'What the hell with that technique? How can cultivators discard their cultivation? That's tantamount to asking for trouble yourself, and re-cultivating from scratch is simply absurd!'
[But wouldn't it be very useful if it could strengthen your body and soul, master? Moreover, you have so many women, so I don't think you need to think too much about it. If you decide to use that Rebirth Technique, then you can restore your cultivation by dual cultivating with them.]
Xia Tian fell silent upon hearing that, but he neither agreed nor disagreed with Alice's words. Even though he had many women, to re-cultivate his cultivation from scratch would take a lot of time, and he didn't have the patience for it.
[Master, I understand your considerations, but you also have your dual cultivation space. If you enter seclusion and dual cultivate with them in your space, I believe it won't take you long to return to your current cultivation base.]
Before long, Xia Tian sighed heavily. 'I'll think about it first, Alice. For now, I just want to reach the Heaven Origin Realm first; only then can I pick up Qilian from the Holy Central Continent.'
"Why are you sighing heavily, Brother Tian?" Shui Liuli asked after she heard the sound of his sigh.
Xia Tian turned to her and hugged her waist. "Nothing; I was just thinking of something."
Shui Liuli's face was blushing from his hug around her waist, but she didn't reject it and asked again. "Hmm? What were you thinking? Because I saw that your expression was so serious."
"Liuli, what do you think if cultivators discard their cultivation and re-cultivate from scratch?"
"Eh?" Shui Liuli looked at Xia Tian in surprise. "Is there any benefit in re-cultivating from scratch? If there is no benefit in doing so, then it would be a waste since it will take us a very long time to reach our current cultivation. However, if there are good benefits to doing so, then it can be considered."
Xia Tian chuckled. "Of course, there are some benefits to doing so, or else no cultivator would be willing to discard their cultivation and re-cultivate from scratch."
"What are the benefits?" Shui Liuli curiously asked, especially since this was the first time she had heard such a question.
Xia Tian immediately explained it to her. "There is a technique called the Rebirth Technique, but in order to use that technique, we must discard our cultivation and re-cultivate from scratch. However, if we use that technique, then it will strengthen our body and spirit each time we undergo the process of rebirth."
"If the benefits are like that, then you can consider using that technique, Brother Tian." Xia Tian looked at her in surprise after hearing that, and Shui Liuli continued. "Wouldn't it be great if your body and soul got stronger every time you used that technique? Moreover, you have more than 20 women, and most of them are very strong, so I think it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
[Humph! Did you hear that, Master? Even Shui Liuli agrees with me, so why are you still thinking about it?]
'Hey, Alice! Have you forgotten how long I cultivated in the past? It's easy for you to say that; it's not you who went through the cultivation process, but me. Even the current me is re-cultivating, and my cultivation hasn't even reached the Heaven Origin Realm yet, so I should consider things better first.' Xia Tian responded indignantly, he himself also thought about using the rebirth technique, but he needed to think about the pros and cons first.
[Humph!] Alice grunted in annoyance and said no further.
Xia Tian then said to Shui Liuli. "You're right, Liuli. That technique is certainly worth considering, but I'll discuss it with them first, and I'll decide whether or not to use it afterwards."
"Yes, they are your wives after all, so it would be better if you asked and considered their opinions first, Brother Tian." Shui Liuli replied with an approving nod.
Xia Tian smiled at her words. "Compared to the childish Shui Yan, you are far more mature than her, Liuli."
Shui Liuli just smiled at that, and Xia Tian suddenly turned towards a place, and he saw someone familiar to him there.
"Guys, I'm going to meet someone in a bit."
The women then turned to the direction Xia Tian had left, and they shook their heads after they recognized the identity of that person.
"Hey, Xing. Does Tian have a relationship with that woman?" Yu Suyin asked.
Xia Xing chuckled and shook her head. "I've heard from my master that woman hates men, and she's often rude to them, so I'm sure Tian won't be interested in her."
"Could she be a lily?" This time it was Zhu Honglian who asked, and the other women looked at her in amusement. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"How did you know such a term, Honglian?" Murong Mengxin asked her.
Zhu Honglian then explained it to them. "When I lived in Zhu Palace, I heard some soldiers talk about it, and they called women who liked the same sex as lilies."
"Well, that's true." Murong Mengxin nodded at her, then she turned towards the woman they were talking about. "That woman does have lily tendencies, and Tian has never liked her."
After that, the women continued strolling around the city, and Xia Tian had already arrived in front of the women. "Hey, Qin Qing! I didn't expect to meet you here."
Hearing his voice, Qin Qing jumped in fright, and she immediately took a few steps back and stuttered. "What... what are you doing here, Xia Tian?"

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
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.
3. Zhang Fei-The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
