"Big Sis, why don't you ask our master to dual cultivate with you?" Yan Chenyu asked Yan Qiangying, who was about to cultivate. "If you dual cultivate with him, then your cultivation will increase rapidly like his women."
Yan Qiangying sighed after hearing that and turned to her little sister. "Don't you still know master's disposition? I realize that he will never touch us as long as we want to serve him because of the soul mark in our souls, so I don't want to waste my time begging him to dual cultivate with me. However, I will prove to him that I am worthy of serving him, and I'm sure he won't reject me again in the future."
Yan Chenyu was stunned after hearing her big sister's words, she also still remembered Xia Tian's words to them a few months ago, but she really wanted to serve him, whether because of the slave mark or not.
"If you want master to be willing to dual cultivate with you, then you must also prove to him that you are worthy of serving him." After saying that, Yang Qiangying took all the pills that Xia Tian gave her and swallowed them one by one. "I'll be in seclusion for a while, so I'll leave the sect's affairs to you."
"All right." Yan Chenyu nodded in agreement and left her big sister's room, but he kept thinking of ways to get Xia Tian to agree to cultivate with her. 'How do I prove myself to master? Should I increase my cultivation first?'
After some time, Yan Chenyu sighed and went to see her sect's elders, and she asked them to handle sect affairs because she also wanted to enter seclusion.

"Hmm?" Zi Guang turned his head and asked the man who ran into his room. "What happened? Why are you in such a rush?"
"Master, I bring news about Tian Qilian." The man then knelt in front of him and delivered. "We have found her location, she is now in the cave behind the mountain, and the golden-haired woman is nowhere to be seen in the beast mountain range."
"Oh?" Zi Guan was surprised to hear that, especially since Fan Jing had been killing his people for the past few months, but she was now suddenly nowhere to be seen.
Zi Niang then said to him. "Father, since the golden-haired woman is no longer there, you must immediately send people to capture Tian Qilian. It's been too long, and we can't wait any longer, so we must get her beast core as soon as possible."
"En." Zi Guang nodded in agreement with his daughter, he also couldn't wait to refine pills, and the last ingredient was Tian Qilian's beast core. "Is Tian Hu with his daughter?"
"Yes." The man nodded to him.
Zi Guang nodded and contacted several people. Soon, two men and two women arrived before him, and he immediately said to them. "I need all of you to go to the beast mountain range immediately, and you have to ensure the situation is completely safe. If that golden-haired woman suddenly appears, you guys should immediately return to use the returning jade. But if that woman isn't around there, you should contact me, and I will come over there immediately, and we will directly capture Tian Qilian."
"Yes, master." They answered in unison and disappeared right out of his sight, and the man also withdrew from the room.
"Hehe, if we get Tian Qilian's beast core, then we can refine the pill, and you will be stronger than Sheng Jiang, Father." Zi Niang said as she hugged her father's arm. "Besides, I will also become stronger than Sheng Ling, and I will seek revenge against her in the future."
Zi Guang nodded with a smile, but he then sighed. "Speaking of Sheng Jiang, I haven't seen him for nearly four months, and I heard rumors that he is with another woman exploring this continent."
"Is that true?" Zi Niang asked in surprise. "If Sun Qingxue finds out about his relationship with other women, I think she will beat Shen Jiang."
"Ha ha." Zi Guang laughed and put his arm around his daughter's shoulder. "You are wrong about that, Niang'er. Sun Qingxue is very familiar with Shen Jiang's character, and he actually had several concubines, but he has never revealed their identities to the public, and only certain people know their identities."
Zi Niang was dumbfounded hearing that, for she had never known about it, and she muttered under her breath. "No wonder Sheng Ling hates her father so much; it turns out that Sheng Jiang has several concubines by his side."
Zi Guang then held his daughter's shoulder and looked at her. "Shen Ling hates her father not because of that but for something else."
"Hmm? What made her hate her father?" Zi Niang curiously asked.
Zi Guang then kissed her daughter's lips, Zi Niang immediately reciprocated, and they kissed for a while. Soon, he separated their lips and rubbed her cheek. "Honestly, I discovered his secret accidentally; Sheng Jiang has two elements, and one of them is darkness. In order to train his darkness techniques to the next stage, he needs Sheng Ling as his cultivation furnace, but he always fails to get her, which is why she hates him so much."
"Huh?" Zi Niang looked at her father as she blinked repeatedly, she really didn't expect that Sheng Jiang possessed the darkness element, and he wanted to use his daughter as a cultivation furnace. "But how could he fail? After all, his cultivation is several levels above Sheng Ling; I believe he can easily get his daughter."
"The key is Shen Ling's master; that person gave her an artifact that can render her father powerless." Zi Guang replied with a chuckle.
Zi Niang raised her eyebrows upon hearing that, she knew that Sheng Ling had a master, but no one knew the identity of the master.
According to rumors circulating in the Sheng Kingdom, her master was a strong male cultivator, but people didn't know where that man came from, especially since they had never seen him in person.
However, people said the man was much stronger than Sheng Jiang, and he didn't dare to go against him.
"I know you want to take revenge on Sheng Ling because she publicly humiliated you in the last competition. However, you can't do it rashly, or you'll be the one to suffer yourself." Zi Guang gently spoke to his daughter. "After we get Tian Qilian's beast core, we will immediately concoct the pill and enter seclusion to improve our strength first."
"I understand." Zi Niang answered with an affirmative nod; she then sat cross-legged in front of the furnace and started to perform alchemy.
Zi Guang just smiled at his daughter and muttered to himself. 'You don't need to worry, Niang'er. After we become strong, we will overthrow Sheng Jiang and take over his authority, and you can take revenge against Sheng Ling later.'

Meanwhile, the Yao mother and daughter were sitting across from each other and talking about Xia Tian.
"Do you really not want to go with him to the Holy Central Continent, Yin'er?" Yao Mei asked seriously, she knew for a fact that her daughter had grown closer to Xia Tian, especially since they had spent a lot of time together during the last three months, but she was still stubborn and refused to have any further relationship with him.
Yao Yin shook her head and answered. "It would be better if I don't go with him, Mom. If he isn't by my side, I can forget these feelings, so I can focus on my cultivation again."
"You really are stubborn, Yin'er!" Yao Mei said in an angry tone. "Why do you only always think about your cultivation? You've seen for yourself that those women's cultivation increases very fast after they dual cultivate with him, and if you are willing to become his woman, then your cultivation will also increase as fast as theirs."
"Mom! You know I don't like depending on a man, and I will improve my cultivation in my own way." Yao Yin then stood up from her seat and spoke again. "Back then, you were always loyal to that bastard, but what happened now? He dumped you for that damn woman, and you chose to hide in this place for more than twenty years."
"Yin'er," Yao Mei called softly.
"Even though I have feelings for Xia Tian, but I don't want to share a man with so many women." Yao Yin then walked towards the exit, but she stopped and said again. "I don't want to suffer the same fate as you, so I prefer to stay alone and focus on my cultivation."
After that, Yao Yin left her mother's room, and Yao Mei could only sigh heavily at her daughter's words. "Sigh, it was all my fault that Yin'er became like that."
