The Next Day =

The contribution hall opened 24 hours a day. Inner disciples, outer disciples, and even core disciples came here every day to stare at bulletin boards or exchange their CPs for items.

Silver Phoenix Sect had over 1,000 disciples. Most of them were outer disciples, but more than half of them always visited the hall in the early morning, searching for something to earn CP.

This was their lifestyle. They had to work, or they wouldn't be able to get stronger. Even if some of the jobs were sinister, such as kidnapping children, killing someone, or cleaning dead bodies in the slaughterhouse, they did it without hesitation.

But today, something was about to change forever.

This morning, over 500 disciples didn't scan through all 20 bulletin boards to find a job, but they fixated on one particular A3 paper on the centerboard.

The crowd murmured. Some of them giggled as they found it funny. Some took a photo of the announcement with their J-phones. Some tried to reach for the paper, but many girls stopped them from taking it.

The commotion got louder as several disciples from Joyous Yin School began fighting each other to take the request. Meanwhile, Virgin Yin disciples tried to stop them and control the chaos.

During the uproar, a pink-haired outer disciple from Virgin Yin School visited the contribution hall.

Zhu Qiao, the girl that used to eavesdrop Miaomiao's room, came here for a job as well. As soon as she spotted the commotion, her curious nature drove her feet into the crowd to see what had happened. She asked an inner disciple from the same school, who was observing the situation from afar.

"Excuse me, senior. What's going on here?"

"Ah, VY junior? Don't get over there. Those JY sluts are fighting over a request."

Fighting over a request happened occasionally here, so Zhu Qiao wasn't surprised. However, the number of participants was too high as hundreds of Joyous Yin disciples joined the free-for-all fight.

Fortunately, the boards were protected by the hall's magic array formation. Unless they receded their Qi, none of them could touch the bulletin boards or the papers on it.

"There're plenty of requests on the boards. Why are they fighting for that one request? Is the reward that good?"

"For them, the reward is like getting promoted. But for us, it's dumb."

"What kind of reward is that?"

The inner disciple sighed. She took out her J-phone and opened an image that was being shared in the sect MeChat group.

The image was the quest content that made everyone gone crazy. Also, the one that issued the quest was none other than Miaomiao.

.

Trader: Outer Disciple Xu Miao

Deal: Offering Dual Cultivation Service.

Fee: 100CP per session.

Reward: Guarantee at least one Yin Essence and 20 Yang Qi strands in return per session.

Limit: 2nd stage or 3rd stage dual cultivators only!

Note: Repeatable every day. Three sessions max per day for 2nd stage, and five sessions for 3rd stage.

.

Zhu Qiao's eyes turned into "O" as she was astonished by the content and the requester's name. The quest was indeed incompatible with Virgin Yin disciples, but those from the other school were dying to take it. This was a golden opportunity to become a nobleman's concubine.

"Uwa, he's crazy. They're crazy, too."

"I know, right?"

"Say, senior. Do you know what will happen if a VY disciple loses their virginity?"

The senior turned to Zhu Qiao. She was taken aback by the question, "What? Do you want to participate in that!?"

"N-N-No! Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just curious!"

"Haa. You'd better not get inseminated. Or else, your second dantian will be stolen by your sex partner."

"So as long as our sex partner doesn't cum inside, we're fine?"

"In theory, yes. But our Qi from the second dantian will still leak during sex. If we don't repair our hymen after sex, our dantian will still be destroyed… Wait a second. What are you making me saying!?"

Zhu Qiao ran away from the contribution hall without taking any quest. As she ran, she took out her phone and sent messages to her virgin friends, telling them about the commotion here.

…

It didn't take long for sect elders to notice the commotion. Two elders from VY School arrived to control the situation. Qi Ning, Qi Hong's twin sister, came here to stop the uproar.

"ENOUGH!! ALL OF YOU, LAY ON THE GROUND!! NOW!!"

As if they were SWAT, the two elders forced all disciples to lay on the floor, face down. Everyone also complied with the order as they didn't want to offend these seniors.

Qi Ning strode to the problematic request and took the paper. She skimmed through the content and passed it to her colleague.

"What do you think?"

Yao Lan, one of the elders, took the paper.

This elder was an embodiment of amazon as she had toned muscular physique and visible six-packs. She didn't wear robes or the sect uniform, but she had bikini armors on. With studded leather bracers, studded shin guards, leather boots, shoulder guards, her 190cm in height, over 110cm bust size, and 105cm hips, this giant Amazonian stood out from the rest of feminine elders.

Still, Yao Lan's gorgeous face, sharp nose, upturned eyes, and her long wavy brown hair complimented her wild physique. Some of the disciples even fell in love with her since she looked manlier than ordinary male cultivators in town.

However, Yao Lan's duties scared away many disciples since she managed the underground floors. The prison, torture chambers, and slaughterhouses were under her supervision.

"This Xu Miao is indeed a troublemaker. But I have to admit, his reward is interesting. Had I not practiced dual dantian art, I would have taken this request myself," Yao Lan snickered.

"You would have crushed his hip bones, though," Qi Ning laughed.

"Anyway," Yao Lan passed the paper back to Qi Ning, "Xu Miao has violated the rules of the contribution hall, but he couldn't have done this on his own. Unless an elder helped him, the contribution hall wouldn't have allowed this kind of request."

Qi Ning gave the amazon a meaningful look, but she didn't say anything.

As the two were conversing, the contribution hall manager, who was also an elder from Joyous Yin School, came to see the commotion.

Long Meifang's outward appearance was a mature woman in her early 30s, but her real age was the same as Xu Xiuying, three digits in number. She had black long hair, tied in kimono hairstyle. Her black, white, and red long kimono with flower embroidery looked formal, yet sublime. Her sharp eyes, thin eyebrows, delicate mouth, and a beauty mark below her mouth made her look striking.

Different from most elders, who had the strength of 5th stage, Long Meifang was a 6th stage dual cultivator. She was infamous for her underage fetish, and she didn't hide it. Moreover, she often made sinister requests, asking her disciples to abduct children or young boys to be her dual cultivation partners.

What happened to the boys afterward? No one knew except Xu Xiuying.

"What's wrong with the request?" In a haughty tone, Long Meifang snorted as she walked toward the two elders, "Please don't put words in my mouth. I've allowed that request to be there, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Qi Ning peered at the evil hall manager with a sneer, "As expected from a child rapist. No matter how your disciples committed any crime, they were never wrong. Hell, killing innocent children is legal in your book. How can a spoiled trashy young master do anything wrong here? Am I right?"

"Enough with your sarcasm. I don't want to debate about morals with a sex-craving virgin old hag like you. What do you want?"

Qi Ning rolled her eyes. She didn't hide the contempt in her words, "Do your job properly, you child rapist. We won't be here and clean up the mess every time for you. Because of this commotion, I hereby terminate this asshole Xu Miao's reque-WUTDAFUQ YAO LIN, LET ME DOWN!!"

Yao Lin grabbed Qi Ning's slim waist and carried her by the shoulder. She ignored Qi Ning's tantrum and nodded to Long Meifang, "Control your disciple, Senior Long. We don't want to see JY disciples killing each other before the annual exam event."

While the amazon carried the closed-eye elder away, she gestured other VY disciples to follow after her, "The contribution hall is closed. Come back in the afternoon after Elder Long dealt with the request issue."

As if Yao Lin wanted to avoid infighting between elders and two schools, she forced Qi Ning and Virgin Yin School girls to leave.

Seeing that the two elders walked away, Long Meifang shook her head and picked the quest paper that they had left behind, "Watch and learn, disciples. Sex-craving virgins are always like that, a hypocrite bitches. Being true to your desire is what makes us different than those two-faced virgins. Anyway, about the issue, I don't think everyone here can take the request as it is."

The disciples slowly got back on their feet, but they didn't fight each other anymore. As the quest paper was on elder Long's hand, they didn't dare to make a fuse.

"Although I said that, I have an idea. Well, since Qi Hong and young master Xu Miao weren't thorough with their request, I shall edit it a bit."

Long Meifang took out a new paper and began writing. All Joyous Yin School's disciples waited for her to finish with anticipation.

When Long Meifang finished writing the whole quest again, she read it out loud.

"Since this request is popular, we will hold an auction for it. Three persons can take this quest each day; one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. We'll use CP to auction for this request, and I'll make it repeatable every day once I talk this out with young master Xu. After you've completed your duty, you cannot monopolize young master Xu Miao unless he calls for you again!"

Without Miaomiao's consent, Long Meifang arranged a schedule for him in advance.

The girls got motivated. Everyone checked their current CP with the central hologram, planning to bid their earning for a chance to be Miaomiao's concubine.

Long Meifang started the auction, which would become a daily event for months, "I'll start the bid with 100 CP!"

"200!"

"250!"

"400!"

"500!"

Long Meifang grinned. While she was hosting a make-shift auction, she texted messages to Qi Hong with her smartphone to report her deed.

Report chapter

Room 14001, 7.30AM =

On a king-sized bed, a naked man was sitting while a naked woman with blank eyes was lying face up, staring at the ceiling with her expressionless face.

Last night, Miaomiao didn't show any mercy. He punished Jiang Lan by over dual-cultivating all night. He even lost count how many basic healing pills that he ate.

Miaomiao was holding a J-Phone, which was bought from the contribution hall yesterday. He was exchanging texts with Qi Hong as the latter informed him about the condition of Zheng Liqin.

Aside from the magic smartphone, Qi Hong forced him to buy the 4 skill manuals and secondhand Yang stones with his remaining CP. Everything had been stored within a chest next to his bed.

"It's easier to use than I thought."

Miaomiao tested his smartphone. By releasing Qi from his fingertips into the J-Phone, Miaomiao didn't need to type. He only had to think of the words that he wanted to relay, and the messages would be completed by itself.

Using the MeChat App, a series of texts were being relayed.

Qi Hong: "I talked with my elder colleague. She is going to transfer Liqin to the security department and have her work as a guard."

Xu Miao: "Will she be alright in that state? She's pretty much a mindless doll now."

Qi Hong: "It's fine. Actually, no one will die because of her nasty hobby anymore."

Xu Miao: "That's not what I'm worried. I'm worried that she won't react to any emergency call."

Qi Hong: "It's not like we're going to put her on the job right away. My colleague and I have implanted a new memory for her, and it will take a few months to take effect."

Yesterday night, Qi Hong took Zheng Liqin away as she had other uses for the loli. It was a part of Qi Hong's deal, and Miaomiao had already received the payment, which was 10,000 CP, a core skill, and the protection under Qi Hong's wings.

Currently, Qi Hong was converting Zheng Liqin into her minion by slowly brainwashing her. The girl still had Miaomiao's Yang Qi and plenty of Yin Essence in her dantian, so Qi Hong needed more time to make Zheng Liqin digest all the energy before she could be used.

Once everything was completed, Zheng Liqin's strength should advance to the 4th stage, and she would become a great asset for the sect.

Qi Hong: "Oh, don't worry about a replacement. I still have a few troublemakers that I need you to convert like Liqin."

Xu Miao: "I don't need them yet. I've just followed your advice and converted Jiang Lan into a Yin Cauldron, so I already have a toy. By the way, how did you know that she's up to no good?"

Qi Hong: "Ha! I already dug into your girlfriend's background ever since she became a slave. I'm in charge of the sect's security, remember?"

This elder was aware of Jiang Lan's hidden persona since she had already learned about the Jiang Family incident. This family borrowed excess amount of raw spirit stones from the sect, and the one who initiated the loan was none other than Jiang Lan, not her parents.

Qi Hong: "By the way, how many times can you do it in a day?

Xu Miao: "10 to 20. Maybe."

That was a lie. As long as Miaomiao had at least one Yang Essence, he could buy 10 basic healing pills. Each of them could boost his vitality for 10 more sessions, so Miaomiao could easily outlast 100 rounds of sex by only spending one drop of essence.

Still, Miaomiao didn't want to reveal every secret to Qi Hong. He wanted to keep some hidden trump cards to himself, so they could be used against Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying in the future.

Qi Hong: "That's not enough. I doubt that you will have enough strength for what's about to come. I suggest that you don't dual cultivate with Jiang Lan too often. Save some of your bullets for your future visitors."

Xu Miao: "Why?"

Qi Hong: "Remember the request that you posted at the hall? The man whore quest?"

Xu Miao: "It was on a whim. I doubt many girls will use my service."

Qi Hong: "You've underestimated your worth."

Qi Hong attached a picture to the chat. It was an image of the commotion in the contribution hall, where many disciples fought to take Miaomiao's request.

Qi Hong: "See?"

Xu Miao: "…"

Qi Hong: "My senior, Long Meifang told me that she has changed the request into a daily auction. She will send many girls to you every day, but she wants 90% of the auction cut. You will get a 5% cut from CP profit, and the rest of it will go to the contribution hall as a hush fee."

Xu Miao: "Wait, what? Can you tell me the full detail? What's the auction and what's that unfair cut?"

Qi Hong: "Okay. I'll drag the mastermind to visit you. I'll explain everything while I'm at it. This might take a while…"

Qi Hong continued sending messages to explain the commotion and the rigged event, which was orchestrated by Long Meifang.

…

An hour later, Qi Hong and Long Meifang visited Miaomiao.

Miaomiao hadn't met Long Meifang yet. Upon seeing her for the first time, he recalled a certain character from the DOA series. Long Meifang had a similar face, hairstyle, and clothing to Nyotengu, but she looked a bit more matured and less sexy.

Feinting disinterest, Miaomiao coughed and acted haughty, "What's the deal with the auction cut? Can someone explain?"

While sitting on his bed, Miaomiao stared at Qi Hong and the new elder without showing his respect. He leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, and held both hands as if he was praying. However, it was a pose of someone worrying about his future.

Long Meifang sat next to Miaomiao, but her eyes were scanning his face, his crotch, and his dantian. Like Qi Hong, she discovered his hidden Qi and Essence without difficulty.

Interested by Miaomiao's unique constitution and potential, she nudged closer to him and placed her hand on his leg to probe his character, "Young master Xu. About the auction, it was my idea. I heard that you're looking for dual cultivation partners, so I took the liberty to get some benefits for both of us. I hope you don't mind."

"But why is my cut is so low?"

Miaomiao had heard some of the auction details from Qi Hong, and he wasn't happy with it. He felt like he was being exploited again. Even though he didn't mind that he was being used here and there, he couldn't stand the unfair profit cut that had been done without his consent.

"I need CP to maintain the contribution hall. Do you know, young master Xu? Contribution points are like a currency. If we gave our disciples too many CP, its value will soon be depreciated, and nobody will want to work for the sect. Someone has to return those CP to the source, so we can increase the demand for CP."

Long Meifang made it sound complicated, so Miaomiao could ignore this issue.

"From what I see, there is no problem with the pseudo currency. The sect already takes a 5% fee from all quest rewards by default, so the inflation rate shouldn't be so severe. Hell, if the sect doesn't issue more CP to the system, I don't see how this currency will be depreciated. The demand is still there, right?"

Qi Hong and Long Meifang raised their eyebrows, surprised that Miaomiao could understand finance terms. For them, this financial expertise wasn't something that ordinary cultivators could understand as most financial experts in their country had already been recruited by the Imperial Family. Unbeknownst to them, this was a basic knowledge in the modern world.

"Not bad. I thought that Xu Xiuying's son was uneducated. I guess I was wrong."

"Please don't change the subject. Why is my cut only 5%? I deserve more than that."

That was Miaomiao's point. He wanted more shares from this auction profit.

Long Meifang could sense that. Her smiling face turned solemn, and the lewd hand that had touched his leg was receded.

"Then, let's be real. First, I've come up with this project, so I deserve more shares. Also, I'm currently taking the brunt of Virgin Yin elders and your mother's wrath because of this silly quest you have issued. Unless I have something to compensate for my trouble, you can take back your request and find your own sex partner."

The elder took a strong stance, not yielding to Miaomiao who was just an upstart young master. Contribution hall was her turf, and she wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her.

"Make it fair, Senior Long. I heard that today's auction winner bid 5,000 CP just to bed me. Without me and this quest, you won't have this opportunity again. Make it 40-60, so we can have a long-lasting deal. I'm taking 60, of course."

Qi Hong had informed Miaomiao about the auction event through MeChat. Three auction winners were willing to pay 5,000CP, 4,700CP, and 4,500CP to dual cultivate with him today. The profit from this man-prostitution transaction wasn't small, and Miaomiao wouldn't want to miss it.

"90-10! That's the highest share you can get. You don't have to pay for the handling fee, so a disciple like you should be fine with that amount of pocket money."

"Senior, you have no idea that once the first batch of disciples has dual-cultivated with me, they will spread words about what they gain. The auction tomorrow and onward will be fiercer, and you will lose your golden goose if I won't cooperate with you again. 40-30-30, You-Senior Qi Hong-And me. If not, cancel the auction!"

"…"

Long Meifang glared into Miaomiao's eyes. From her perspective, she could have taken advantage of Miaomiao, forcing him to sell his body while she would reap 100% of the share.

However, all of a sudden, Miaomiao put Qi Hong into the picture, which confused Long Meifang.

As for the referred elder, Qi Hong had been observing them from the sideline with her faint smile. She didn't comment or refute anything. Long Meifang couldn't tell what this closed-eye elder was thinking.

Thinking of the pros and cons, Meifang decided not to risk offending both Miaomiao and Qi Hong. As the latter was Qi Ning's twin sister, provoking Qi Hong's wrath might also draw the aggro from Qi Ning and her virgin friends.

'If it's just Xu Miao, I can just tell his mother that her son has crossed my line. But if Qi Hong comes into the picture, that's a whole different story. I don't know what kind of relationship Qi Hong and Xu Miao have. But if Qi Hong is supporting Xu Miao, Qi Ning and her goons might be supporting him as well. Until I can get a clear picture of what they are conspiring, I shouldn't cross them.'

Long Meifang conceded, "Fine. We'll go with 40-30-30 for now. I'll test the market for a few days. But if disciples complain that your dual cultivation skill sucks, I'll terminate the deal on the spot."

Miaomiao shrugged. He had a sure-fire way to please his customers, so Meifang's threat wasn't scary at all.

…

The deal concluded after Meifang left Miaomiao's room.

And now, Miaomiao was left alone with Qi Hong.

"Say, young master. Why did you put me in that deal? I have never planned to get involved."

Miaomiao grinned, "Let me use you a bit. Without you, I might lose out a lot. Let's say it's a bribe from me."

Qi Hong giggled and patted Miaomiao's head, "Good boy. Keep this up, and I might really fall for you."

"…"

After the event in the contribution hall ended, the auction winners visited Miaomiao's room right away. However, they had to wait as Qi Hong and Long Meifang were talking to the young master.

When both of them left, three auction winners rushed into the room right away.

"Young master Xu! I'm here to be your partner!"

"Young master, let me be your dao partner!"

"I'm here to fulfill your request, my lord! You can do anything to me!"

The three girls were eager to dual-cultivate, which astonished Miaomiao. Still, he was happy as he could get stronger with more partners.

"Alright. Take it easy, ladies. I'll take you one at a time."

.

Poseidon Spa House, Fifteenth Floor =

Qi Ning and Yao Lan entered the secret cultivation room to report the incident in the contribution hall. As usual, Xu Xiuying was cultivating along with her inner disciples. She floated on the Yin Pool and monitored how her Virgin Yin School's disciples absorbed the leaked energy.

"Ma'am, urgent report!"

Qi Ning and Yao Lan cupped her fist and waited for Xu Xiuying to give them the permission to speak.

"Is it about my son again?"

This wasn't the first time that Qi Ning filed a complaint about her son's behavior. As a Virgin Yin practitioner, Qi Ning didn't approve of having Miaomiao around as a disciple.

"Err, yes…"

Despite wanting to expel Miaomiao, Qi Ning couldn't do anything to Miaomiao directly. She was powerless against Xu Xiuying's authority, and Qi Ning was afraid of the repercussion in the case that she killed Miaomiao without Xu Xiuying's consent. Therefore, she came here, hoping to change Xu Xiuying's mind.

"What did he do this time? Has any VY disciple's chastity gotten ruined by him?"

"No, ma'am. It's just… He exploited the contribution hall and posted an absurd request. It caused a commotion, but elder Long Meifang didn't do anything to stop your son. I just hope that…"

"I'm already aware of that."

"Then?"

"There is no harm letting him having his ways with JY disciples."

"But, ma'am, it affects our order!"

Qi Ning's action and her hidden agenda were transparent to Xu Xiuying. As the vice sect master and the Silver Phoenix Sect, Xu Xiuying had access to various information regarding the internal affair, including Miaomiao's recent activities.

"You hate my son, don't you?"

"…"

Xu Xiuying had been keeping tabs on Miaomiao. She was even aware that Miaomiao had broken Zheng Liqin, the strongest outer disciple of the Joyous Yin School, but the latter's cultivation strength got rapidly stronger.

Also, the excuse that Qi Hong had told Miaomiao was a lie. Xu Xiuying never wanted to expel Zheng Liqin, but she used the legal loli to test her adopted son's abilities.

In fact, Qi Hong had been working for Xu Xiuying from the very beginning. This elder reported Miaomiao's daily activities to Xu Xiuying every day, and the latter was the one that told Qi Hong to give Miaomiao a core technique and the 10,000CP.

In conclusion, Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying never wanted to harm Miaomiao, but they wanted to keep him in this sect forever using their honey trap. Both elders wanted to encourage this man to dual-cultivate with every JY disciple to raise everybody's strength. It didn't matter if Miaomiao would break some of them since Xu Xiuying could heal those victims anytime.

They could have imprisoned him and forced him to dual-cultivate, but that might be unproductive. Having a happy male dual cultivator as a worker was better than having an angry prisoner. A happy golden goose could lay big golden eggs, but an angry golden goose might not lay even an ordinary egg.

The recent commotion was in Xu Xiuying's favor. She didn't mind it if Miaomiao wanted to abuse his status and gain some profits from auctions.

"Don't worry about him. I've told Elder Long that she must not allow any VY disciple to participate in that auction. As long as only JY disciple participates, there is no harm letting him do whatever he wants."

"… Yes, ma'am."

Qi Ning bit her lower lip and conceded. Still, she didn't give up trying to find a way to get rid of Miaomiao from the sect.

Qi Ning's expression revealed her thoughts. Even her colleague, Yao Lan, could notice. The latter shook her head and gave Xu Xiuying an apologetic look before she left.

After the two left, Xu Xiuying grinned.

'That brat is our sect's golden goose. Qi Ning, I understand why you want to chase him away, but I can't set this precious treasure free anytime soon. Hell, if he gets strong enough to dual-cultivate with me, I might even keep him as my personal pet.'

An obedient and talented male dual-cultivator was hard to find these days. Even if Miaomiao violated several Virgin Yin disciples, Xu Xiuying wouldn't mind it as long as he could bolster her sect's strength.

Xu Xiuying took out her J-Phone and texted to Qi Hong.

[Your sister came here and asked me to expel my son again. Pay attention to her activities from now on and send your subordinates to protect him. She might try something stupid soon.]

Not only did Xu Xiuying sent a secret order to Qi Hong, but she also texted Long Meifang.

[I'm aware of the auction thingy that you pull behind my back. I don't mind that you use my son to reap some profits, but do me favor. Let as many JY disciples dual-cultivate with my son. Increase the number of auction winners, so more people can have a chance to taste him. It doesn't matter if someone will become a Yin Cauldron because of over-cultivating. Let them have it!]

.

.

.

After the uproar at the contribution hall, Silver Phoenix Sect had a new daily tradition. Every morning at 8AM, inner disciples and outer disciples from Joyous Yin School visited the contribution hall for the daily auction sessions.

The item for this auction was well-known throughout the sect as the winners could dual-cultivate with the prodigal son of Xu Xiuying. The supervisor and the manager of these auctions, Long Meifang, usually held 10 sessions a day, which was higher than Miaomiao had expected.

Normally, not many attractive girls should have wanted to buy a service from a man. However, Miaomiao was special.

The first three girls who had won the first-day auctions returned to their friends and spread words of their experience. Each of them obtained about 3 to 5 Yin Essence from the dual-cultivation sessions, and they got stronger.

Everyone was shocked. They knew that only the 3rd stage or stronger cultivators could convert Qi into Essence, and one of this condensed energy was as potent as having over 1,000 strands of Qi.

The disciples were not stupid. 200CP could be traded for one raw spirit stone, which translated into about five to ten Qi strands, depending on luck. The cheapest secondhand refined stone cost over 1000CP, which could give them about 100 to 10,000 strands of Qi, depending on the remaining energy. However, these stones required skills to cultivate. Only top inner disciples or Zheng Liqin could use them properly.

On the other hand, the average final bid for Miaomiao's dual-cultivation course was 4,500CP, and he could bless them with 3,000 to 5,000 worth of Qi strands. This offered an alternate cultivation path for untalented disciples.

From a glance, buying a refined spirit stone should be the best bang for the bucks. But as many outer disciples couldn't use a refined stone, they opted for the auction instead.

As a result, the auction became popular, and everyone worked hard to collect CP to buy him.

A chain reaction occurred afterward. As the demand for CP rose, most requests on the bulletin boards were taken. Outer sect members started to complain that there weren't enough jobs for them.

Xu Xiuying immediately issued more tasks for her disciples, which increased the sect's productivity. They started accepting tasks from outsiders, and the sect obtained more profits.

Qi Hong and Long Meifang also obtained a lot of CP for their personal use as they held the CP shares. With more CP, they expanded their influence and hired several bodyguards to protect Miaomiao.

As for the winner of this event, Miaomiao had plenty of partners to grind for Yang Essence. It was a living dream for a horny man like him since he didn't need to do anything during the daytime but having sex and eating. Only the night time was when Miaomiao could train in Isolation Space.

Jiang Lan ended up staying as Miaomiao's assistant as he didn't allow her to break free from the mind-broken state. Fearing that this troublemaker would backstab him, Miaomiao planned to continue over-cultivating with her and turn her into a permanent Yin Cauldron.

…

Days Later =

Many days had passed. As Miaomiao's lifestyle was too carefree and he never showed up on the sparring arena, ill rumor about him began to spread among cultivators. Many prostitutes and JY disciples leaked the information about him to outsiders, and the rumor spread throughout the city.

Many people learned about Miaomiao's existence as a spoiled young master, who did nothing but consummating with women.

He hardly cultivated.

He never practiced martial arts.

He never sparred with fellow disciples.

He never showed up anywhere.

All he did was staying in his room, having sex all day.

Cultivators from various clans called Xu Miao as a good-for-nothing wastrel. Even the Wei Clan had heard about it and confirmed the intel with the spies inside the Silver Phoenix Sect.

Yet, Xu Xiuying, Qi Hong, and Long Meifang did nothing to suppress this rumor. They allowed motor-mouth disciples to spread gossip since they understood Miaomiao's usefulness. It didn't matter if Miaomiao would be called trash since he was the sect's golden goose.

From their perspective, it was not like Miaomiao would spread wings and challenge anybody outside the sect anyway. He would be kept in their ranch to breed, giving strength to Joyous Yin School disciples.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Miaomiao trained extremely hard in the Isolation Training Space in secret. Once he could display his skills in public, many people would be surprised.

It was the day before the annual examination when Miaomiao truly debuted as a cultivator, not as an ex-MMA fighter.

…

It was the day before the annual examination event of both Mountain Goose Sect and Silver Phoenix Sect.

Long Meifang and Qi Hong decided not to hold the traditional auction as tomorrow was a big day. The outer disciples and workers also didn't visit the contribution hall, but they gathered on the tenth floor, waiting for their elders to give them instructions about tomorrow's event. As for the inner disciples and core disciples, they gathered at the 15th floor to listen to Xu Xiuying instead.

As usual, Miaomiao attended the meeting on the tenth floor, but he had 20 beautiful bodyguards around him. No horny disciple could approach him without going through these tough women.

The ones responsible for the 10th-floor gathering were Qi Hong and Qi Ning again. This time, they didn't come here to give lectures, but they were here to relay orders from Xu Xiuying.

"As you know, tomorrow will be a big day since we will recruit new blood to our sect. For those who are accustomed to our annual event, I hope you've prepared for today's representative selection. As for the new disciples and workers, I'll explain the details."

Qi Ning was the one explaining the pre-event that would happen today, which was held to select disciples for tomorrow's event. Before Miaomiao and everybody here could spectate tomorrow's event, the Silver Phoenix Sect also had their internal examination.

"Every year, we always select 10 best outer disciples and 10 best inner disciples to be our sect's representative. At tomorrow's event, many examinees will challenge our representative for extra prizes, so we will need our strongest members to be our representatives. They will shoulder our pride and reputation in tomorrow's event, so they have to be the best of the best!"

Qi Ning took charge of explaining the internal selection rules. While she was at it, she glanced at Miaomiao. This was her best opportunity to teach this spoiled brat a lesson.

The selection event was basically a ladder competition. Last year's representatives would occupy the current spots, but each disciple had one attempt to challenge one of them to take their right to participate in tomorrow's event.

In the case that some of the former representatives had been promoted to inner disciples, left the sect, or was not in a condition to take the selection competition, the strongest members with the lowest serial number would take their places.

Also, the hierarchy between disciples would play a part in this competition. Disciples with the highest serial number would be forced to use their attempt and challenge the representatives first. If they were to forfeit or lose, they would not be able to challenge someone else again.

The challenge would repeat until the disciple with the lowest serial number used their attempt. Once nobody could challenge a representative who currently occupied the spot, the competition would be over. The 10 disciples who managed to maintain their seats would enter tomorrow's event as this year's representative. As for the failed candidates, they could only spectate the event from afar.

"Last year's representatives, step forward! Go take your seats!"

After Qi Hong finished explaining the rules, she called out the remaining former representatives. Only six disciples jumped on the stage.

Behind the square stage, ten single sofas had been prepared in advance. The six disciples occupied the seats, leaving four unoccupied sofas.

Three of the former representatives got promoted into inner disciples last year. As for the other vacant seat, it belonged to Zheng Liqin. Unfortunately, Qi Hong transferred her to the security division, so she was no longer a disciple but a worker of the sect.

"E306, E307, E308, E309, you four will take over the vacant spots!"

The four disciples with the lowest serial numbers leaped onto the stage and occupied the four empty seats. All ten sofas now had owners.

Serial numbers of Silver Phoenix Sect had simple codes and hierarchy.

[E] Referred to [Elite Disciple].

[S] Referred to [Slaves].

[C] Referred to [Core Disciples].

There were other codes for workers, commoner prostitutes, and security guards, but they were irrelevant at this time.

Following the alphabet was each disciple's rank among their peers. For example, E001 was the lowest number but is presented as the strongest disciple among the accepted elites. On the other hand, S001 was the strongest fighter among slaves.

Inner disciples consisted of codename E001 to E299. Zheng Liqin was an exception since she could defeat several inner disciples and earned the number E100 with her strength. But due to her past misdeed, she couldn't become an inner disciple.

Outer disciples' serial numbers were E300 to E1054. A disciple could obtain a better rank by challenging a fellow disciple with a lower number. If they could defeat the challenged disciple, they could take over their rank, obtaining a better standing among their peers.

Jiang Lan was a new outer disciple, so she started at the bottom with the serial number E1053.

As for Miaomiao, he was at the last number, E1054. Since he had never participated or challenged any disciple yet, his rank remained at the bottom.

And now, Miaomiao would be forced to either challenge one of the ten representatives first or forfeit the competition.

"E1054, Xu Miao! You're up. Choose your opponent or forfeit if you're not ready. You've done nothing but having sex all day. Do you still have the guts to fight a fragile woman?"

Qi Ning smirked as she mocked Miaomiao. From her perspective, this trashy young master would get himself humiliated in this competition if he were to challenge someone.

Moreover, the rumor about Miaomiao selling his body to JY disciples was well-known among the disciples and the elders. Even cultivators in the city had even heard that Miaomiao had been doing nothing but having sex every day. Without practicing any martial art or participating in any sparring match, everyone believed that he was a good-for-nothing spoiled wastrel. Qi Ning also had the same impression of Miaomiao as everybody else.

On the other hand, Qi Hong, Long Meifang, and disciples from Joyous Yin School still believed in Miaomiao. Since he had the stamina to do 10 girls 5 times every day, this young master might do well in actual combat.

As for the man in question, Miaomiao wasn't nervous. He slowly stood up and revealed his dull unmotivated eyes as if he didn't want to take part in it.

"Senior, do I really have to beat a woman? I don't want to bully a girl in front of everybody here. It's unsightly and disgraceful for a gentleman."

Hearing Miaomiao's remark, all Virgin Yin disciples and Qi Ning laughed.

"Oi, oi, Xu Miao. Are you thinking too highly of yourself? Do you understand what position you're in? I admit that you've increased your strength pretty fast for a trashy rookie, but all representative candidates here are 2nd stage cultivators with double dantians! The weakest one is at level 7! What are you, a level 10 first stage bragging that you can defeat them?"

Qi Ning didn't hold back her tongue. She berated Miaomiao in front of everybody.

It was a common sense that dual cultivators were usually weaker than other cultivators at the same strength, so Qi Ning believed that Miaomiao wouldn't have a chance. When Miaomiao bragged that he could bully them, she didn't miss this chance to humiliate him.

Qi Hong and other Joyous Yin disciples also showed their concerns, especially those who had bedded Miaomiao at least once. They thought that Miaomiao raised his strength via sex, and he still lacked battle experience.

The ten candidates on the stage also had a mocking expression on their faces. All of them came from Virgin Yin School, and they looked down on this horny young master. Even if they had fantasized him or had once planned to seduce him, they were offended when Miaomiao said that he could defeat them.

"Young master Xu. It's not like we're weaker than men. Please show us some respect."

The strongest candidate, E300, voiced her opinion while trying to be polite. However, malicious intent could be detected from her tone.

E300, aka Kang Yan, was a 22-year-old virgin, who was also a follower of Yao Lan. She had long straight red hair, tied in a ponytail. Her unyielding expression and her striking face reminded Miaomiao of strong-headed female warriors in fantasy stories.

Kang Yan donned in a full studded leather armor suit as if she was a lady knight in her training uniform. Her tight leather revealed her curvy body and healthy hips, which could attract every man with butt fetish.

Overall, E300 was an embodiment of a valiant female knight. Combining her purity with her outspoken attitude, she was an idol of all Virgin Yin disciples.

As soon as Kang Yan rebuked Miaomiao, all nine other candidates stood up and challenged him.

"That's right! If you think we're weaker than you, come and fight me!"

"Do you think we're weaker than a good-for-nothing sex maniac like you!?"

"Come and try me! I'll show you how a real fight is done!"

Things in the sect changed during the time Miaomiao secluded himself in his room for having sex all day.

At first, these virgin maidens had a high opinion of Miaomiao and wanted to date him. But after he created the man-whore scandal, these women were disillusioned, and they began to dislike him because of his debauchery behavior. They deemed him as a spoiled brat with no cultivation future.

Looking at this scene, Miaomiao finally revealed a wide smile. He took a deep breath and muttered, "Ah, a face-smacking scene. I love those novels when stupid people looked down on MCs. Welp, I'm not an MC, though, but I will take pleasure slapping some asses."

Miaomiao's remark wasn't unheard of. Everybody on the tenth floor could hear it. Although they couldn't understand some of the jargon, the 10 candidates interpreted it as an insult.

"That's enough, young master Xu. Come on the stage and challenge one of us. If you don't want to fight, scram! Return to your room and continue selling your body like one of those dirty whores as you are!"

Kang Yan lost her temper and lashed it on Miaomiao. The latter squinted his cold eyes and glared at the virgin knight.

"Okay. I've changed my mind. I'll make you regret looking down on dual cultivators! I challenge you, E300!"

Kang Yan laughed, "Oh? Instead of challenging a weaker seat, you dare to challenge me? How about this? Let's make a bet. If you lose, you must leave this sect and stop leeching on your mother!"

Hearing that Kang Yan wanted to make a bet, Miaomiao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "Oh? Then, what if I win? What will I get?"

"That will never happen!"

"Oh, please. Don't speak like one of those third-rate villains. Let's see… If I win, you will be my pet. How about it?"

Kang Yan gritted her teeth before she bellowed, "Fine! Come up on the stage. I'll teach you the difference in strength between a real 2nd stage cultivator and a 1st stage trash!"

Report chapter

"Y-Young master Xu. Please reconsider! It's dangerous to fight her!"

Some of the Joyous Yin disciples tried to stop Miaomiao. Many of them were 3rd stage cultivators, but they were no match for Kang Yan as the latter's double dantians could hold more Qi than them. Therefore, they thought that Miaomiao would lose and got expelled from the sect for sure.

"Eh, don't worry about it. I'll show you how it's done."

Miaomiao leaped onto the stage and wiggled his fingers, taunting Kang Yan to fight him.

Kang Yan pulled out a thin rapier from her spatial ring, but she didn't take a fighting stance. She sneered at Miaomiao as if the victory was already hers.

"Come! Since you're a junior, I'll allow you to attack first!"

"Ah, overconfident youth," Miaomiao chuckled and shook his head. He also took out an ordinary saber from his spatial ring, which he bought from the contribution hall.

Inside the space ring, over a hundred refined Yang stones and refined Yin stones piled in a corner. Another pile of ordinary sabers laid on the other side and several healing pill bottles were arranged in the center. As for the rest of the empty space, spare clothes and food were allocated there.

Miaomiao had to shove every ordinary item there as his 10 system inventory slots were occupied by magic weapons, which he obtained from the clones.

Not wanting to reveal his trump cards, Miaomiao decided to use an ordinary saber in this match. From his perspective, using a system's magic weapon was overkill.

"A saber?" Kang Yan was amused, "I don't remember that our sect has a saber technique. Well, it's not like you're not allowed to use foreign techniques anyway. Come! Show me what you can do!"

"…"

Miaomiao didn't utter a word. He strolled toward Kang Yan.

The Virgin Yin spectators sneered and scoffed at Miaomiao. They looked down on him for not having a footwork technique or a quick movement skill.

"In the end, he's a pushover. He hasn't even learned a footwork technique."

"What do you expect? He's a filthy trash that his brain only knows one word; sex."

"What a waste. He has a good birth, but he doesn't treasure his opportunities. Had he not been born in the Xu Clan, I would have killed him long ago."

Again, a few Virgin Yin disciples commented and annoyed Miaomiao's fans. All Joyous Yin disciples wanted to refute, but they didn't know what to say to protect Miaomiao's reputation.

Meanwhile, Qi Hong and Long Meifang could sense a subtle Qi flow within Miaomiao's dantian, circulating within his body. When they noticed how quick his Qi strands moved around within his body, they giggled.

"The match is over," Long Meifang looked away and brought out snacks and a bottle of wine from her spatial ring.

"Humbleness is king. Arrogance is the highway to hell," Qi Hong's eyes opened a bit, analyzing Miaomiao's Qi circulation skill and his current constitution.

'His Qi doesn't get hindered by blood vessels or muscle fibers. The circulation speed is too fast for a first stage level 10. This is something that a 3rd stage cultivator can do. Does that mean that Xu Miao has been practicing Qi Dissolving Technique? Is he crazy!?'

The disciples didn't understand what Qi Hong and Long Meifang were talking about. They thought that Miaomiao had already lost.

On the stage, Miaomiao got closer to Kang Yan. They were five meters apart.

Ten strands of Yin Qi, which had been circulated to Miaomiao's feet, were deployed and escaped from his feet, running toward Kang Yan's feet.

The red hair knight didn't notice the oncoming energy flow until they reached her feet. By the time that she could detect it, the ten strands of Qi condensed and manifested an ice spike.

It was one of the skills that Xu Xiuying's clone had used against Miaomiao in the Isolation Training Space, but Miaomiao already mastered the Yin Qi Manipulation Technique and could mimic her skill.

POEK*

The ice spike didn't have a sharp edge as Miaomiao didn't want to kill Kang Yan. Instead, he turned the tip into a large fist, which punched the arrogant girl to the gut.

Kang Yan couldn't circulate her Qi and protect her body on time. She got stunned by the Qi attack and tumbled backward. She vomited her breakfast out as the impact rocked her abdomen.

Miaomiao didn't follow up or do anything fancy. He stopped next to Kang Yan and placed his saber on her neck.

"GG."

The jaws of spectators dropped. A heavy silence fell upon the floor as they couldn't comprehend what Miaomiao had just done. All they saw was a manifestation of a giant hand from the ground, and it punched Kang Yan before she could do anything.

Even Qi Ning couldn't believe what she saw. She had practiced a similar skill, Ice Manipulation Technique, so she understood what Miaomiao had used. However, she couldn't figure when Miaomiao had practiced this skill since he never left his room.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Just… how?"

Four other elders from Virgin Yin School were also speechless. They had the same thoughts as Qi Ning.

On the other hand, cheers suddenly erupted from the Joyous Yin disciples who had consummated with Miaomiao. They celebrated how he defeated the arrogant disciple in one blow.

"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PRECIOUS HYMEN, BITCH!"

"YOUNG MASTER XU, YOU'RE AWESOME!!"

"TAKE THAT BITCH!! AHAHAHA!!"

"YOU'RE A PET NOW, KANG SLUT! MAKE SURE TO SERVE HIM WELL, KYAHAHAHA!!"

The cheer was so loud that every worker and housemaid on the eleventh floor and the ninth floor could hear it.

Seeing that her disciple was humiliated, Qi Ning snapped, "SILENCE!!"

Everyone shut their mouths. They closed their ears since the elder's voice was amplified by her Qi.

"XU MIAO! THAT ONE DOESN'T COUNT! YOU WILL HAVE A REMATCH WITH E300!"

Qi Hong and Long Meifang glared at Qi Ning. This elder got on their nerves.

Yet, Miaomiao still looked calm. He turned to Qi Ning with a bashful smile.

"Sure. But can I increase the betting stake?"

"What stake!?"

"If I want to use my CP and bet on me. If I win, can I get more CP?"

Frustrated by Kang Yan's failure, Qi Ning couldn't think straight, "Fine! I'll bet my CP with you! How many do you want to bet!?"

"All of my CP!"

"Hmm! Fine!"

"Are you sure? Do you know how much I have-"

"I SAID FINE!"

Qi Ning forgot to ask how much CP Miaomiao had. She leaped to Kang Yan's side and fed her a healing pill.

It took Kang Yan five minutes to recover. She regained her strength again.

Confirming that Kang Yan was back in her prime condition, Qi Ning announced the rematch, "Fight again! E300, don't get cocky. Fight with everything you have!"

"Y-Yes, senior!"

After getting humiliated, Kang Yan got back on her feet and took this fight seriously. She glared at Miaomiao as if he was her arch enemy that had killed her parents.

"Xu Miao! I want a rematch!"

Miaomiao shrugged. This was clearly against the rules. But since no elder from JY School protested or protected him, he might as well reap some benefit.

"Sure. As a gentleman, I'll let you have the first move."

Kang Yan brandished her rapier and leaped away from Miaomiao.

Qi Ning used this opportunity to start the match, "BEGIN!"

While they were 20 meters apart, E300 used this opportunity to circulate her Yin Qi. It took Kang Yan two seconds to cover her weapon with her blue aura, which was faster than what the average 2nd stage cultivators could do.

2nd Stage cultivators hadn't evolved their meridians yet, so their Qi circulation was slow. Averagely, cultivators with the same strength usually spent 3 to 5 seconds trying to move their Qi from their dantian to their hands and feet.

Moreover, applying Qi to aura skill was already a difficult task for average cultivators, but Kang Yan finished everything in 2 seconds, which displayed her talent.

Virgin Yin disciples gazed at Kang Yan in admiration. They expected that Miaomiao wouldn't be able to defeat her this time.

But for Miaomiao who had sparred against monstrous clones with inhumane reflex, tactic, abilities, and weaponry, this circulation speed was so slow that he got sleepy watching it.

'Those clones at level 7 can activate a Qi skill faster than that. Had she been one of those bastards, she could have attacked me while she was circulating her Qi. They would have attacked me five times during those two seconds instead of just keeping the distance and concentrate on one skill. This girl has no experience in real combat or understands the multi-tasking tactic.'

Miaomiao got bored watching the inexperienced girl trying to cast a spell. He felt like watching a newbie kickboxer trying to show off their newly learned move.

The bored expression could be seen by everyone. Kang Yan got more infuriated that Miaomiao was looking down on her.

"Take this! Wind Slash!"

Instead of using her rapier to thrust, she swung it, creating a cutting wind, flying toward Miaomiao at the speed of 200km per hour.

Miaomiao didn't dodge or try to avoid the oncoming attack. He stood there, standing and waiting for it to arrive at him.

Again, the so-called Wind Slash, aka Wind Cutter, was still slow in Miaomiao's standard. He had seen many clones from Qing Clan using this basic skill, and it was way faster than hers.

Ranged skills from the clones were always instant, which took less than a second to complete the casting process and attacking sequence. Furthermore, they never used one skill at a time, but they always mixed in normal attacks and Qi skills together, making their attack patterns unpredictable. Sometimes, their normal attacks became Qi attacks as they were using artifacts and magic weapons.

Facing against a simple attack without a follow-up strike, Miaomiao didn't know if he should just dodge it or parry it. Everything seemed dull compared to the usual sparring matches he had.

Miaomiao only frowned as he moved one strand of Yang Qi to cover his saber with his aura. Then, he swatted the wind cutter magic with the weapon like how he swatted a fly.

DING*

The distorted wind was destroyed in an instant.

"HUH!?"

Kang Yan couldn't believe her eyes. That attack was one of her strongest ranged attacks, but Miaomiao destroyed it with just a simple swing.

Before the crowd or Kang Yan could start commenting about how it was impossible to block a Qi attack, Miaomiao already disappeared from where he had stood and reappeared in front of her.

"My turn… Stripper Swordsmanship, First Art, Armor Destruction."

By the time that Miaomiao finished speaking, he had already finished cutting Kang Yan's armor with his saber. Nobody could see what he did other than the spectating elders.

Miaomiao didn't say anything else, but he turned around and walked away from Kang Yan.

"Bastard! How dare you turn your back on me!? I'll kill you!"

Kang Yan circulated her Qi into her rapier again, planning to skewer Miaomiao and kill him. The latter didn't even turn and look at the former, but he muttered in a dominating voice.

"Omae Wa Mou Naked Deiru (You're already naked)."

"What!?"

SHING*

CRACK*

The next second, Kang Yan's studded leather armor suit cracked and fell apart into small broken pieces. The entire armor and her clothes were cut and destroyed, revealing her bare body. Yet, she wasn't harmed. Not even a scratch was left on her beautiful white skin.

"!!!!"

Kang Yan's face flushed. She screamed and sat on the stage, hiding her naked body.

"H-H-How is this even possible!?"

Miaomiao sighed, "Are you going to surrender, or are you going to keep on fighting? I don't mind ravishing you in public, you know?"

Report chapter

The usual closed-eye woman, Qi Hong, widened her eyes. Witnessing the Stripper Swordsmanship, she was astonished that Miaomiao had already mastered the first move.

Armor Destruction was one of the sword arts. By empowering and controlling aura on one's weapon, even a wooden stick could destroy steel plates.

However, this art emphasized accuracy and precision in manipulating Qi. It required the practitioner to pinpoint the weak points of their opponent's armor and strike it with their Qi. The difficult part wasn't the skill by itself, but the practitioner must have keen sight. Striking a wrong point might not break the armor, and the practitioner might suffer fatal injuries from counterattacks.

Most importantly, the swordsmanship skill was exclusively for inner disciples since it required meridian mastery, which should have been too difficult for newbies weaker than the 3rd stage. Yet, Miaomiao utilized it flawlessly.

'I chose that skill for him, so he could not practice any combat skill. When did this brat practice this technique? Did he spend the night practicing? But I saw the CCTV footage. He never practiced or did anything productive at night other than sleeping or having sex. Just how?'

Qi Hong tricked Miaomiao many times throughout their deals. Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong gave him a core technique from the core library first, hoping that he would get a complex skill above his level of comprehension so that Miaomiao would become discouraged from practicing martial arts. After that, they could coax him into the path of debauchery and force him to spend the rest of his days having sex with their Joyous Yin disciples. Then, Miaomiao would become nothing but a stupid sex maniac that they could manipulate and discard whenever they wanted.

This was their Golden Goose Project.

At first, Miaomiao seemed to sway that way as he enjoyed his authority and Zheng Liqin's body.

Qi Hong pushed the project further by giving Miaomiao more difficult techniques, trying to make him voluntarily give up on training and become lazy for good. Unexpectedly, Miaomiao came up with a prostitution plan, which aligned with her scheme.

Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong's plan worked perfectly as Miaomiao stopped practicing martial arts after he started selling his body. He spent every day having sex, according to their initial plan.

Yet, today, Miaomiao showed that he had already mastered one of their difficult techniques. Qi Hong couldn't figure when and how Miaomiao could do it.

'Are you serious? Are you really a freaking genius or a useless sex-addicted bastard? Ah, I don't know anymore.'

Qi Hong gave up trying to analyze Miaomiao's character. She picked up her J-Phone and recorded everything on the stage, so she could send the clip to Xu Xiuying later.

…

While everyone was shocked, Long Meifang treated this event as if nothing had happened. She didn't care whether Miaomiao or Kang Yan would win. This elder only cared about her profited CP that she got from Miaomiao's deal, which was 40% of the share.

It didn't matter who won or lose. Long Meifang would earn more CP regardless.

The charming black-haired elder enjoyed her wine and low-calorie food as she watched the show, "Can someone fetch me more fresh fruits? I forgot to restock my supplies."

As Meifang was eating and drinking, an elder approach her.

"Do you know if anyone takes him under their apprenticeship yet?"

Long Meifang glanced at the speaker. It was Yao Lan, the amazon warrior elder from Virgin Yin School, who was also a friend of Qi Ning.

"Aside from Qi Hong, his mother, and me, I don't think any of our elders has talked to him yet. If he isn't one of their core disciples, then he is still available."

"Hmm. Do you think his mother will allow him to be my legacy disciple? He has talents in sword fighting."

"Go ahead and ask the mistress yourself. Count me out of this."

"Don't you want him?"

"Not a chance. I don't like smart men. That bastard is a young fox in sheepskin. I don't trust him."

Unlike Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying, Long Meifang had seen many cunning men throughout her life. As Miaomiao was creative enough to bribe Qi Hong and extorted more CP shares from her, Long Meifang believed that Miaomiao still hid more trump cards in his sleeves. t

Since Miaomiao never trained with swords when they first met and he never trained it in front of any CCTV cameras, Long Meifang was sure that he might have trained it elsewhere at night when they weren't paying attention. Even if she was wrong, Miaomiao might be a genius that she shouldn't offend him.

'I don't want to get involved with a cunning nobleman. F-U all! Don't bother me!'

…

On the stage, Qi Ning couldn't believe what she had seen. She saw how Miaomiao used the first art of Stripper Swordsmanship, which was one of the toughest techniques that disciples could learn.

Killing an opponent was hard, but disarming an opponent without harming them was harder. Yet, Miaomiao broke the common sense by mastering this technique without training.

"… Winner, Xu Miao."

Qi Ning couldn't afford to continue cheating the match. As many elders were watching, they might report this incident to Xu Xiuying, and the latter might punish her. Even though everyone was working for the same sect, it was not like everyone was friendly toward each other. Any elder might find trouble with another one or bully the weaker colleague at any time.

The Joyous Yin disciples stood up and cheered, celebrating for Miaomiao's stunning victory.

"KYAAAA!! HE'S SO COOL! HUSBAND, MAKE LOVE WITH ME AFTER THIS!!"

"HUSBAND, YOU'RE TOO AWESOME!!"

"DARLING, WATCHING YOU MAKE ME WET!! KYAAAA!!"

Over 90% of Joyous Yin disciples had once dual-cultivated with Miaomiao. They treated him as their public husband.

On the other hand, the prideful Virgin Yin disciples were sullen. Seeing their senior disciple losing to a good-for-nothing young master was like getting slapped to the face. Their face became hot because of their frustration and anger, but they couldn't do anything to change the result.

Currently, the ten representative seats were arranged behind the sparring ring. Qi Ning pointed at the empty sofa to guide Miaomiao to his new seat.

"That one is yours. Go and sit over there."

Miaomiao grinned. However, he didn't follow Qi Ning's instruction, "You've forgotten something."

"What?"

"Our bet."

Qi Ning snorted, "Pfft. Fine. How many CP do I have to pay?"

Miaomiao's smile widened. The corner of his mouth curved up while his eyes smiled. His dark smiley face suddenly sent a chill running down Qi Ning's spine, and it also frightened other VY disciples.

"Elder Long, could you reveal my current CP?"

Long Meifang's face twitched. She had already figured out what and why Miaomiao had bet against Qi Ning with all his CP earlier, which was the main reason why she called him a young fox.

A floating orb coming from Long Meifang's spatial ring was the mobile exchange center. It could project any disciple's profile and their status, including their current remaining CP.

And the number of CP that Miaomiao had was …

41,526 CP

Averagely, an outer disciple had about 1,500 to 3,000 CP as they required a large amount to buy various manuals or cultivation supplies. Inner disciples had a bit more, about 4,000 to 6,000 CP, but they still had to buy expensive refined stones for cultivation.

Despite that, Miaomiao possessed over 41,000 CP, which was an insane amount that an outer disciple could have. Qi Ning almost vomited blood when she found out about Miaomiao's current CP.

Miaomiao revealed a bashful smile as he was fidgeting, walking closer to Qi Ning.

"I've bet all my CP, so… please give me the same amount, okay?"

41,526 CP was 416 raw spirit stones. The amount might be nothing to Qi Ning, but it hurt her pride because of Miaomiao's current obnoxious expression. She felt like he intentionally humiliated her.

Without a choice, Qi Ning poured 416 raw spirit stones from her spatial ring onto the stage, "Elder Long. Convert these stones to CP and give it to this brat!"

Long Meifang shrugged while she made the stones floated and entered her spatial ring. Then, she typed something into the hologram, and Miaomiao's CP in his profile window changed.

83,052 CP

It wasn't much, but Miaomiao was happy by having more assets. He laughed and walked toward the loser, Kang Yan.

"I'll forgive you for the earlier insult if you sincerely apologize."

Kang Yan glared at Miaomiao with her angry eyes. Yet, she didn't bicker or refute. Although Kang Yan wasn't convinced that she had lost, she couldn't change the outcome since Qi Ning had already declared the result.

Gritting her teeth, she knelt on both knees and bowed to Miaomiao without hiding her naked body, "… I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Miaomiao patted her head and nodded in satisfaction, "Good girl. Well, pack your clothes and move to my room tomorrow night. You're my pet now."

"What? Hey! I apologized to you! Don't push your luck!"

Kang Yan thought that once she apologized, Miaomiao would cancel the gamble they had. But now, he ordered her to become his pet.

"I said that I would forgive you. I didn't say that I would cancel the bet."

"Y-You!!"

Kang Yan activated her Qi again. She empowered her rapier and thrust toward his chest.

Miaomiao didn't dodge. He also gathered his Yang Qi around his chest area and formed a small barrier.

DING*

The aura-coated rapier couldn't penetrate through the mysterious orange barrier. Instead, Kang Yan's rapier cracked and shattered.

"W-Wha!?"

Kang Yan's brain couldn't comprehend why her attack failed. Her cultivation strength was far superior to Miaomiao, but he could easily block her attack with an unknown technique.

Miaomiao sighed. His body flashed as he moved to the side of Kang Yan. Then, he carried her by his shoulder, hanging her butt forward.

Kang Yan's private part and plumb butt could be seen by the audience. VY disciples' faced turned red, but JY disciples cheered and laughed.

"A bad kitty needs to be punished," Miaomiao chuckled and spanked her butt. t

PA!*

"Ow! You bastard-"

PA!*

"Ah! Stop!"

PA!*

"OW!"

PA!* *PA!*

"N-No, s-stop-"

PA!* *PA!*

"Ah! I-I'm sorry!"

PA!* *PA!*

"Ahn! Ahn!"

The punishment continued while everyone looked at Miaomiao in astonishment. Even the elders didn't interfere.

However, as the booty slapping continued, Kang Yan's screaming voice slowly changed into moans of pleasure.

Report chapter

Miaomiao spanked Kang Yan's plump butt to the point that the pale white skin turned red. The punishment lasted only a few minutes, but it was enough to silence the girl.

"Hoo. Okay, the punishment is over. You can take a rest."

Miaomiao let Kang Yan down. But before he let her loose, he didn't forget to massage her round and smooth butt. It was firm, soft, and elastic that Miaomiao wanted to keep touching.

Kang Yan collapsed on the stage. She didn't utter a word as she was too exhausted. Her face was deep red, and her breathing was rough. The dazed eyes of Kang Yan were moist as she was on the verge of crying … from extreme pleasure.

Sticky and slippery juice leaked out from her private part, dripping down on her thigh and on the stage. Yet, nobody but Miaomiao noticed it.

The culprit licked his hand that had used to spank the girl. The sticky liquid got on his hand, and he knew where he got it from.

'Interesting girl. I'll play with you later.'

Miaomiao feigned ignorance and walked back to his seat.

"…"

The spectators were speechless. This humiliating punishment was new to them, and they had never seen anything like it.

PA*

One of the JY disciples spanked her friend's butt with her bare hand. The bounciness of the meat and the feedback impact on her hand was addictive.

"Ow! WTF!?"

"Just trying."

"TRY IT ON YOUR ASS, BITCH!"

PA*

PA*

PA*

Many disciples also copied Miaomiao's action by slapping their friends' butt. They giggled and pranked the others as if it was a new trend.

"This is fun! Hahaha!"

"Ow, why you! Take back!"

"Ow! Oh, crap. That actually feels good."

"Dafuq, you disgusting pig-*PA* Ow! You… One more please."

"You're the disgusting pig!"

As if these disciples were children, they got rowdy and raised voice, causing commotion everywhere. Even Miaomiao shook his head and sighed.

"Ah, youth."

The commotion disrupted the selection event. Soon, Qi Ning lost it. She screamed and released her killing intent with her full power, using her Yin Essence.

"SILENCE!!"

BOOM*

The heart of all disciples shook and squeezed. Everyone including Miaomiao clenched their chest as their hearts were about to explode.

Fortunately, many elders reacted fast. Eight elders rushed to the disciples and erected a protective shield array. Qi Hong, the remaining elder, went for her sister. She slapped Qi Ning's face and suppressed the latter's strength before anyone died from a heart attack.

"Get a hold of yourself, Little Ning."

Qi Ning didn't fight back against her older sister, but she clicked her tongue and walked away.

"You take care of the selection trial, then. I'm done for today!"

"… You're already 51. Start acting like someone your age."

"Be quiet! You know nothing about VY practitioners. We don't need HIM in our sect."

"Just go and get some rest."

Qi Hong didn't argue with her sister even though she had a hundred reasons to keep Miaomiao in this sect forever. The older twin ignored her sister's tantrum and took over the duty.

"I'll take over the selection trial as the referee. Kang Yan, put on some clothes and go to your friends below the stage. You still have one more attempt to challenge one of the seats to take back your representative right."

By having Qi Hong taking over the competition, everyone stopped playing and took this event seriously.

E1053, Jiang Lan was called next. However, as she was now Miaomiao's puppet, she chose to forfeit as it was his order.

More disciples were called to take their chance, but most of the outer disciples didn't use their attempt. As these girls often sparred against each other and competed over their ranks, they understood the difference between their strength and the top 10 outer disciples.

But there were still many Virgin Yin disciples that weren't convinced that Miaomiao was that strong. These girls gathered and plotted against him.

Soon enough, they started sending their cannon fodders to challenge Miaomiao.

"I challenge young master Xu Miao!"

It was Zhu Qiao, the pink hair disciple. She didn't want to challenge him, but her seniors forced her to test the water.

Miaomiao returned on the stage with his saber. He got into a battle stance right away.

"I'm ready."

"A-wa-wa-wa! Don't be so serious, young master Xu. I just want to test my luck. Please don't hurt me, okay?"

Miaomiao remembered this funny girl. He chuckled and lowered his stance, "Well, okay. I'll let you have the first move."

"Ugh."

Zhu Qiao was on the verge of crying. Still, she revealed her strength to Miaomiao for the first time.

Cold Qi circulated within her body. Blue aura enveloped her, increasing her physical strength and speed. Her presence transformed from a scardy hamster into a monstrous giant sewer rat.

The power of double dantian maiden erupted.

Miaomiao raised his eyebrows for a moment before they turned to a frown. His solemn face stared at the girl while he also channeled his Qi to prepare for her attack.

Zhu Qiao's aura was different than Kang Yan. Although it seemed weaker, her eyes and her stance hinted that she was an experienced fighter.

Miaomiao's prediction was correct. Zhu Qiao didn't open the fight with a super long-ranged attack like the haughty Kang Yan. Instead, she naruto-ran toward him with two short swords, one was cladded with her aura while the other was not. She held both swords using an ice pick gripping style.

When the distance between Zhu Qiao and Miaomiao was 5 meters, she stomped her front foot. Her Yin Qi traveled from the foot toward Miaomiao's feet, using the stage as a medium.

Then, an ice spike manifested. It was the same skill that Miaomiao had used against Kang Yan in the first round.

As Miaomiao had challenged against Xu Xiuying's clones and failed many times, he had already noticed the attack pattern the moment Zhu Qiao had gathered many strands of Qi in her front foot. Miaomiao took a few steps back, so he could use the ice spike as a buffer against her.

CLANK*

Half a second after the stomp, an ice spike extended from the ground and rose 2 meters high. However, it didn't skewer the target.

Miaomiao kept walking backward, waiting for Zhu Qiao's next move while he was casting a couple of spells on the ground on the area around the ice spike.

Seeing that Miaomiao hid behind the ice, Zhu Qiao pursued. He detoured the ice spike to the right.

But as soon as Zhu Qiao got around the obstacle, the ground below her turned into ice, and they extended to her feet. Both Zhu Qiao's ankles were bound by a thick layer of ice.

"Eh?"

Before Zhu Qiao could attempt to free herself, an ice needle flew toward her face.

"KYAAAA!!"

Zhu Qiao tilted her head to the side while she leaned backward, dodging the sudden flying ice shard.

CLANK*

More ice extended from the ground behind Zhu Qiao. They kept rising and touched her back, but it didn't harm her like an ice spike skill.

The extended ice crept over Zhu Qiao's back and bound her like the trap on her feet. It imprisoned her entire body but her head.

Zhu Qiao realized what Miaomiao had done. She cried, "Uweeeee. This is unfair! You said I can have the first attack, but I haven't landed any attack on you."

The girl didn't know that Miaomiao broke a cold sweat when he noticed the Qi circulation speed of Zhu Qiao. The Qi circulation speed and casting speed were on par with those clone monsters in the Isolation Realm, which terrified him.

'System, how many potential percent did she use just now? Her casting speed is a bit unusual.'

[Ding]

[From a brief evaluation, at least 88%. What she lacks is tactic, mindset, and the right weapons. Also, the system detects that she wasn't serious. Please spar with her clone in Isolation Training Space to find out her true strength.]

"…"

Miaomiao took a mental note that he would spar with Zhu Qiao's clones later. For now, he pretended that he defeated this girl easily by placing his saber on her neck, "Will you give up?"

"Uweeeee. You're a meanie. I've lost."

Miaomiao dispelled his trap spells. Zhu Qiao regained her freedom and left the stage while she was still crying a river.

Her innocent looked pitiful from the onlooker's perspective, but Miaomiao became cautious of Zhu Qiao. Because of the system's warning, it came to Miaomiao that this girl might be hiding something.

As such, from the next fight onward, Miaomiao decided to finish every match as quickly as possible.

…

"Next!"

Without waiting for Miaomiao to return to his seat, Qi Hong asked if the next disciple would challenge any representative.

"I'm next! I challenge young master Xu Miao!"

A disciple from Virgin Yin School with studded leather armor leaped onto the stage. She wielded a saber and pointed it to Miaomiao's face.

It was a long black hair girl with a knightly attitude like Kang Yan.

"I've understood your tricks and your skills. A weakling good-for-nothing like you can't be a representative of our sect!"

"…"

Miaomiao rolled his eyes. Then, he glanced at Qi Hong, waiting for her to signal the next fight.

"Begin!"

As soon as Qi Hong allowed the two contestants to fight, Miaomiao kicked the ground.

"Take my saber! Mountain Slas-"

"Armor Destruction."

Before the disciple could gather her Qi into her saber, Miaomiao got in front of his opponent and left several saber slash afterimages.

Déjà vu happened. The challenger was disarmed and was stripped naked.

"KYAAAA!"

The disciple was shocked. She ran off the stage in embarrassment.

"Winner, Xu Miao."

Everyone: "…"

…

The selection competition continued.

"I challenge Xu Miao!"

More Virgin Yin disciples with the serial number E400 and below began ganging on him instead of challenging other disciples.

However…

"Mountain Palm-"

"Armor Destruction."

BOOM*

Another victim lost her clothes and armor. Miaomiao won again.

"I challenge Xu Miao!"

More daredevils didn't have enough. The girl took out short swords, planning to mimic Zhu Qiao's style.

But when Miaomiao could sense the shallowness of their circulation technique, he simply rushed them and followed up with his soon-to-be signature move.

"Armor Destruction."

BOOM*

"KYAAAA!!"

…

"Next!"

"E356 here! I challenge young master Xu Miao!"

"Armor Destruction!"

BOOM*

"Xu Miao wins. Next!"

"I'm E355. I challenge young master Xu Miao!"

"Armor Destruction!"

BOOM*

"Xu Miao wins. Next."

"I'm E354. I challenged young master Xu-"

"Armor Destruction!"

BOOM*

"Let me finish my only line in this novel, damn you!!"

.

.

.

After hours of repeated challenges, Miaomiao only used one skill to defeat all of the Virgin Yin disciples. Aside from Zhu Qiao, Miaomiao deemed them weaker than first stage cultivators that he had fought in the Isolation Realm, so there was no need to use fancy techniques.

Kang Yan managed to reclaim her seat by defeating the weakest top 10 disciple. She didn't challenge Miaomiao again as she didn't want to risk losing her privilege to participate in an important event.

The 10 representatives were decided, but Miaomiao obtained a new nickname that all outer disciples had titled him.

Xu Miao, the Stripper.

At night, Miaomiao sorted his system inventory. Before he went to sleep every night, he never forgot to sort his inventory and his spatial ring's items. He put 2 refined Yang stones in the inventory slots, which occupied 2 of 10 rooms. The rest of the available spots were taken by magic weapons, clothes, and magic armors.

Miaomiao fell asleep afterward and returned to the Isolation Training Space. As usual, he didn't waste any time working to get stronger. Every subtle improvement slowly added up.

.

[Isolation Training]

Conversion Ratio (Real World Hour/Isolation Space Hour): 1:5

Upgrade Cost: 1,000 Yang Essence

Next Conversion Ratio (Real World Hour/Isolation Space Hour): 1:10

After you've fallen asleep, your consciousness will be sent to System's isolated space for special training sessions that you can design for yourself.

Inside this space, you can choose to fight against illusions of fighters that you had once encountered in the past, or you can spend your time practicing various arts that you haven't mastered.

The Conversion Ratio is the time in the real world and the time you can spend in space. Currently, five hours in the isolation space is one hour in real life. You can upgrade the conversion rate by spending the yang essence.

.

Currently, Miaomiao could train in this space for five hours, but only an hour would pass in the real world. As he usually slept 8 hours a day, Miaomiao spent 40 hours training every night.

For the first 10 hours, Miaomiao absorbed Qi from refined Yang stones or Yin stones to increase his overall power.

Next 10 hours, Miaomiao practiced dual-flame techniques and the basics of other skills. Then, another 10 hours, he increased his Qi circulation efficiency by dissolving his Qi strands until his body couldn't handle any more backlashes. During the process, he died 100 times on average.

And the last 10 hours would be spent sparring with strong opponents. Right now, Miaomiao chose to challenge stage 1 level 10 cultivators as the weaker ones did not have useful skills to steal or upgrade.

At the moment, the entire white cubic room engulfed in flame as Miaomiao had taken out one of the prepared Yang stones from his system inventory and absorbed its energy.

Frost Turtle Breathing Technique was at work. Although the skill itself was based on Yin energy, Miaomiao could still use the technique for absorbing Yang Qi from the stone without difficulty. It became the Flame Turtle Breathing Technique whenever he applied it to Yang instead of Yin.

Yang represented light, fire, holy, and violent. The chaotic energy burned Miaomiao's skin and slowly cooked him from the inside, but he ignored it as the system space would continue healing him over time.

Only 3rd stage cultivators could use refined Yin or Yang stones, but Miaomiao exploited the space feature to practice his breathing technique.

[Ding]

[You have absorbed 17 strands of Yang Qi.]

[You have absorbed 12 strands of Yang Qi.]

[You have absorbed 15 strands...]

[You have absorbed...]

The system kept reporting his gain every second. Yang Qi added up in his dantian, increasing his backup energy for the future dual-cultivation sessions.

After a few hours, one of the Yang stones was used up and disintegrated into dust. As for the other one, its remaining energy was still usable, so Miaomiao kept it for tomorrow night.

"Next, Dual Flame…"

With a snap of fingers, one red fireball manifested from Miaomiao's right hand, and one blue fireball appeared from his left hand.

Miaomiao had gone through the first three chapters, Fire manipulation, Yang Flame, and Yin Flame. As long as he had Yin and Yang Qi, it wasn't hard to summon these flames.

However, mastering it and applying it in real combats were another story.

The red fireball, Yang Flame, was potent enough to melt his opponent as long as it could touch them. Still, shooting or throwing this energy required precision and fire manipulation mastery. Most importantly, Miaomiao's constitution had to be able to resist the burning energy as it also harmed the user.

The blue fireball, Yin Flame, couldn't burn Miaomiao or his targets. However, it would turn his target's flesh and blood cells into ice, and the transformed ice parts would slowly disintegrate into ice particles, corroding his victim to death.

Now, Miaomiao summoned both flames, but he didn't use them to harm anyone. Instead, the fireballs began burning and freezing his body. Miaomiao's right side was melting because of Yang Flame's heat while the left side turned into ice and broke apart. This was resistance training, so his body could handle these skills.

For 5 hours, Miaomiao died over 500 times. In the beginning, he died every 30 seconds. But after 5 hours passed, Miaomiao's body managed to resist against these flames for 35 seconds before he died.

The improvement was small and subtle, but Miaomiao was happy.

"Next, switch sides…"

Like a masochist, Miaomiao didn't stop killing himself. He dispelled the two previous flames and switched sides by summoning the two flames again. Yang Flame came out from his left hand, and vice versa, Yin Flame came out from his right hand.

The self-torture continued. Yet, Miaomiao's eyes revealed his confidence and pleasure. He gazed at the carved wall that had his handwritten on.

Pain is my calm,

Failure is my goal,

Keep dying until the sunrise,

So tomorrow I can defeat my foes.

'It doesn't matter how many times I've failed here. I'll gladly die here a thousand times to survive tomorrow!'

Miaomiao had completed the previous tutorial quest, and he was preparing himself for the next fateful event.

The Next Day =

Ten inner disciples and ten outer disciples, including Miaomiao, left the brothel to the northern district of Mountain Goose City early in the morning.

All women wore different clothes this time. They didn't wear sexy short kimonos to seduce horny men, but everyone wore colorful long-sleeve dresses. None of them revealed their smooth skin, and they even had thick veils to cover their beautiful faces.

However, Miaomiao couldn't wear dresses like them. He put on a standard studded leather armor, which Qi Hong provided. Then, he wore a thin white robe to hide his gears, giving a finishing touch to his aesthetic sense.

Now, with new clothes, Xu Miao's handsome face, white hair, and pale skin, Miaomiao stood out as if he were a charming prince. If he stood next to Xu Xiuying, nobody would believe that they were not relatives.

Qi Hong, Qi Ning, and Xu Xiuying also escorted the disciples to participate in the annual event, where both Silver Phoenix Sect and Mountain Goose Sect would hold a joint examination. A thousand of helpers and workers, including Jiang Lan, were also tagging along.

Jiang Lan managed to come here because of Miaomiao's authority. The latter excused that he needed a maid to carry his supplies around, so Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying allowed him to bring her along. In reality, Miaomiao wanted to keep her around in the case that he needed emergency Yin Qi, which could be resupplied via sex. Dual-cultivating with a Yin Cauldron like her always gave Miaomiao at least several hundred strands of Yin Qi per session.

By the time they arrived, it was 5AM. The sun had not risen yet, but over 10 thousand cultivators were already there, occupying available spaces to erect their observation towers or spectator stands.

The northern district was a plain area with nothing but paved concrete bricks. The only landmark of this place was the 5-meter tall Mountain Goose's entrance gate and tall walls, which are located at the foot of the mountain, north of this area.

Normally, there would be nothing but plain concrete tiles in this zone. However, a giant 100x100m square stage had been placed in front of the sect's gate. It stood tall and served as a threshold marker, which separated the line between the sect and spectators.

The wide area in front of the stage was used as a gathering place for cultivators, who were waiting to join the event. Many prominent families occupied the best spots near the stage and built watchtowers for their family leaders, so they could get a better view of this event.

As for commoners, small noble families, and weak organizations, they had to settle behind those elite clans as they couldn't afford to offend them. Weak cultivators were forced to stay further away from the stage.

As the Silver Phoenix Sect was the co-host of this event, their seats had been reserved in advance. Xu Xiuying guided everyone to take a VIP spectator stand behind the stage, located between the sect gate and the 100x100m arena.

As soon as many cultivators noticed Xu Xiuying and her people's arrival, the crowd was thrown into an uproar.

"T-The Silver Phoenix Sect! They're here!"

"The sect of fairies. Now that I can see them, my life is not in vain."

"Their presence is as domineering as ever. It's a shame that they have a wastrel as their young master."

"True. Man, I'm jealous of Xu Miao. He gets to bed those beauties."

"I'm going to do my best and join this sect! Mom, is it true that Silver Phoenix Sect's members won't get old?"

"Yes, dear. Their vice master, Xu Xiuying, is over a hundred years old, but she still looks young."

"Wow. Now, I'm motivated!"

Buzzing noise and murmur got louder, but everybody's eyes fixated at the 19 disciples and three elders. However, when male cultivators spotted Miaomiao, they clicked their tongue as if they had seen something foul.

"That wastrel…"

"I wish I can beat him to a pulp!"

"I'm so jealous of that asshole. He has everything!"

"Shh, calm down. They might hear you. He's still from the Xu Clan, remember?"

Miaomiao became a common enemy for male cultivators. Everyone was so envious that they wanted to be reincarnated as him.

Among the angry crowd, a certain blacksmith also stood there, watching his ex-girlfriend following behind the spoiled young master.

Xie Tian's eyes burned with determination. He planned to confront Jiang Lan one last time and solve his heart devil. As long as he could assure that Xu Miao was a good man or the marriage was Jiang Lan's decision, Xie Tian wouldn't mind blessing giving up on her.

However, if Xie Tian were to find that Jiang Lan was tricked by this spoiled young master, he might have to deal with his heart devil issue the hard way.

'I'll confront them. If he's a good guy, I can leave Jiang Lan to him. But if Jiang Lan was tricked or he's as bad as the rumor said…'

Xie Tian's eyes turned cold, and his pupils turned yellowish.

Report chapter

6 AM.

Similar to the Silver Phoenix Sect, the Mountain Goose Sect's elders brought their best outer and inner disciples down the mountain. Aside from the disciples, several hundreds of their employees and minor disciples tagged along with them to assist the elders for the event.

Luo Cheng, the dwarf blacksmith, was also one of Mountain Goose's elders. However, he stood behind all of them as he intentionally kept himself a low profile.

A long black-haired middle-aged swordsman in full-plate knight armor stood in the middle of the stage. His trimmed curve mustache and thick eyebrows were so iconic that it drew the attention of the crowd.

Jian Meng, one of Mountain Goose's elders who was in charge of teaching sword techniques, acted as the host of this examination.

"Welcome fellow daoists to the grand annual examination!"

The crowd stopped talking and listened to Jian Meng.

"Today is an auspicious day to hold a trial in searching for talented young cultivators of this continent. Many great heroes began their tales in this event, such as Master Jia Shan, the current sect master of our sect, and Fairy Xu Xiuying, the vice master of Silver Phoenix Sect. By showing their promising talent in this examination in the past, their names became famous…"

Jian Meng narrated the biography of Xu Xiuying and Jia Shan, the two leaders of the powerhouse sects.

The Xu Clan was built by Xu Xiuying's mother, but the one who contributed the most was none other than Xu Xiuying. As a female cultivator, she went through many ordeals, such as being oppressed by male cultivators, being treated like an object, being pursued, or being threatened. Yet, Xu Xiuying overcame those obstacles and established the current Silver Phoenix Sect with her mother, who was the current sect master.

The biography was briefed as Jian Meng skipped the minor details about how Xu Xiuying defeated her enemies. However, Miaomiao could guess how she did it since she practiced Joyous Yin arts. He, too, had the experience of being sucked dry by her clone.

As for Jia Shan, he was a sword saint that showed his talent when he was young. His sword skill was second to none. Even today, no sect master on this continent had defeated him in sword fight even once.

Listening to the fabricated tales of two powerhouse masters, the crowd was in awe. Only the insiders like Qi Hong, Miaomiao, and several elders from the Mountain Goose Sect tried their best to hide their cringed expression. Even Xu Xiuying herself sighed a few times as she couldn't endure the false stories.

Jian Meng's stories were like fairy tales, but the reality was much darker. No cultivator in this world became a powerhouse without dirtying their hands.

"And now, let's not delay the event. Both sects, please send your best outer disciples on the stage to open the trial ceremony and demonstrate your strength!"

Miaomiao had been briefed about this arrangement yesterday. Both sects would send their best outer disciples to exhibit their prowess by taking the same trials with other examinees. They would take the tests first, but their scores wouldn't be calculated in the exam rankings. Still, their scores would become the face of their sects.

More importantly, there were special rewards that both sects had prepared for the best disciples. The winner would get 100 refined spirit stones, a low-graded magic weapon, and a technique manual from one of the sects. A Mountain Goose disciple could request a technique from the Silver Phoenix Sect, and vice versa.

Miaomiao wasn't interested in the rewards, but 100 refined Yang or Yin stones were still precious to him. It wouldn't hurt winning a few prizes for his future cultivation. Moreover, winning the event would raise his standing in the sect, and Xu Xiuying might give him extra rewards for his trouble.

10 Outer disciples from Mountain Goose Sect and 10 outer disciples from Silver Phoenix Sect leaped down from their spectator stands.

When the crowd noticed that Miaomiao was one of the representatives, they booed.

"What the hell!? A 1st Stage wastrel as one of the 10 best outer disciples? Do you take us for a fool!?"

"Get that trash down the stage! He doesn't deserve to be called the top dog!"

"The Xu Clan has sunk a new low. I can't believe that Xu Xiuying has spoiled her son so much. The Silver Phoenix Sect is on the highway to ruin."

"Pffft. Let's wait and see that spoiled brat embarrassing himself in the trial. Remember that some tests are dangerous? He will probably die if the tests are the same as last year."

"Right. That horny dog won't make it to the last round. Hell, he will probably fail on the first round!"

Everyone looked down on Miaomiao because of his infamous reputation. As for the guy that got booed, he tilted his head to the side, confused why everyone underestimated him.

'I'm not an MC. I no longer have short hair, but these assholes think that I'm a pushover? What the hell? Do you think I'm a protagonist or something? Sorry, pals. Since y'all acting annoying, you'd better keep running your mouth because I will face-slap you motherfuckers to oblivion.'

Instead of getting angry, Miaomiao almost burst into laughter. He had read too many novels and had seen so many plots with these scenes. He knew exactly what was coming for them.

Miaomiao's mocking expression triggered the crowd. The boo got louder, and many noble family leaders were scorned by Miaomiao's immature behavior.

The ten disciples from the Mountain Goose Sect also heard of Miaomiao's reputation. One of their representative, a young man in white robes with golden long hair, dissed Miaomiao in a loud voice.

"This place is for the best of the best. A sex maniac like you doesn't belong here. Go home and suck on your mama's titties."

Miaomiao chuckled, finding this disciple cute, "I don't know about my mama's titties, but I know what your mama's titties taste like. She cried, "Oh, yes, baby" when I pound her to heaven!"

"WHAT!?"

Knowing how talented Miaomiao was in a real fight, Kang Yan and other VY disciples covered their mouth, holding back their laughter. They were looking forward to seeing how Miaomiao would "strip" this young man.

But after listening to Miaomiao's childish comeback, they burst into laughter. Even some of the Miaomiao-haters found it amusing.

"Hahaha! He said he fucked your mama!"

"No, no, Hahahaha! He said that he's your father!"

"Oh, boy. I didn't know that you can comeback this way… Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Getting humiliated and mocked, the disciple was fume with rage. He drew his long sword from the side sheath and rushed at Miaomiao.

However, one of the Mountain Goose disciples stood between Miaomiao and the angry disciple, "Nie Ping! Stop!"

Nie Ping, the angry disciple, came to a pause. He glared at the one that stopped him.

Surprisingly, Miaomiao knew this person. It was the guy that gave him a dangerous jade sword, but he didn't know his name.

Wei Feng, the youngest young master of the Wei Clan, was one of the top outer disciples of Mountain Goose Sect. His cultivation strength had already reached level 3 of the 3rd stage.

Because Wei Feng was the strongest fighter of this group, Nie Ping didn't dare to defy him.

As Wei Feng couldn't recognize Miaomiao's new appearance, he took a formal stance and cupped his fist to Miaomiao, "My name is Wei Feng, a representative from the Wei Clan. I'm sorry about my friend's rude behavior. I hope that you can forgive him."

Miaomiao shrugged and cupped his fist, "Well, We're just joking. Let's have a fair competition first, then we can find ourselves a place to drink and get to know each other. By the way, I'm Xu Miao."

"Hahaha! Young master Xu. I see that you're a cultured man. I admire you. Very well, may the best man wins."

The two had fake smiles on their faces and pretended to be friendly toward each other. However, both Miaomiao and Wei Feng were planning to kill the other during the competition.

Miaomiao had a grudge against the Wei Clan that had robbed his stolen jade sword. Wei Feng also had a reputation to uphold. Both had a reason to cripple or kill the other if there was an opportunity.

Without realizing it, Miaomiao slowly acted and thought like a local villain.

The tension died down after both sides behaved.

Jian Meng had been observing the confrontation between the youths. He was ready to stop it at any moment, but it was no longer necessary. He continued to explain the rules.

"Ahem! The first test is your aptitude test! We will have all examinees stand on the prepared arrays on the stage. Once an examinee stands on it, the array will analyze the examinee's spiritual roots and display the evaluation score for everybody to see! The minimum requirement to pass this test is 51 in overall attributes."

As soon as Jian Meng finished speaking, twenty magic circle arrays appeared on the stage. Each of them had a diameter of one meter, which was large enough for one person to stand inside the formation.

"Now, outer disciples. Go and stand on the arrays and display your potential and statuses!"

Nie Ping laughed and walked toward one of the arrays. He didn't forget to mock Miaomiao.

"Hahahaha! I don't think this test is necessary for you, Xu Miao! A wastrel that can't even advance to the second stage doesn't have the right to be a disciple. Hell, I doubt that your overall point will even reach 30 points! Hahahaha!"

WHOOM*

The array under Nie Ping's feet activated. A blue hologram appeared above his head and revealed his status.

.

.

[Evaluation – Nie Ping]

Muscle: 82

Bone Marrows: 88

Meridian: 62

Dantian: 67

Qi Volume: 63

Overall: 72

.

.

The evaluation was simple. They measured the contestant's muscle, bone marrows, meridians, dantian, and Qi volume.

The muscle score was evaluated from physical strength and impurity within the muscle fibers. If one didn't get rid of their impurity in their muscle tissues, the evaluation point would be low.

Bone marrows were similar to muscle evaluation. However, it also measured the amount of Qi that the cultivator could produce naturally. Once a cultivator reached the 2nd stage, which was Bone Refinement Realm, the person's body would be able to produce Qi without relying on external sources. Usually, only the 2nd stage or stronger cultivators could have a high score on this part.

Meridian was blood vessels and blood cells. The test evaluated if the person's blood and blood vessels could carry Qi strands to various parts efficiently or not. The point reflected the speed that the examinee could circulate their Qi throughout the body – the faster, the better the score.

Dantian reflected the maximum Qi volume that one could hold. This part of the test couldn't be trained as everyone had a different limit. In other words, it reflected the examinee's potential and natural talent.

Qi Volume was the current amount of Qi strands and Essence drops inside the examinee's dantian. The array tested if the examinee had come here prepared or not.

As for the overall point, it was the average point of all categories. As long as the examinee's status was high in all attributes, they would pass the test.

"72 Points! Pass!" Jian Meng announced the result and allowed Nie Ping to pass to the next round.

Nie Ping laughed as he was looking forward to seeing Miaomiao humiliating himself in public.

"Get your ass to the array, Xu Miao. Go and tell everyone how weak you are! I bet that your point won't reach 30!"

Miaomiao giggled when he heard that someone wanted to bet, "Ah, a bet? I love gambling. How much will you bet, then?"

Report chapter

"Aha! So, you want to gamble with me? How about this, if you can't pass the first trial, I want you to kowtow to everybody here and call me father!"

Nie Ping wanted to humiliate Miaomiao, so he pushed the gamble. He was confident that Miaomiao would fail 100%.

As for the one that got looked down, Miaomiao revealed his usual crescent smile. His sinister smiling face was creepy enough to send chills down Nie Ping's spine.

"What if I pass the test with a flying color?"

"That will never happen!"

"Oh, sure. How about this? If I win, I want a hundred refined spirit stones. It doesn't matter if they are Yin stones or Yang stones. I want a hundred of them."

"Huh!?"

Nie Ping was taken aback. In the market, one refined stone equaled 1,000 raw spirit stones. However, Miaomiao demanded a hundred of them, which would translate into 100,000 raw spirit stones.

Miaomiao hadn't realized yet that Silver Phoenix Sect made money by refining raw spirit stones into Yin stones or Yang stones. Xu Xiuying was also an alchemist master that could convert ten raw spirit stones into a refined stone. Even though the conversion process usually took an hour to complete, the profit that she made was enough to support her elders and over a thousand disciples for years.

For Mountain Goose Sect and other cultivators who couldn't refine spirit stones, this demand was absurd.

"Don't get too cocky, Xu Miao! Do you think I'm rich like you? You must be joking!"

Miaomiao bellowed back, "Do you think having me kowtowing to everyone and call you my father also a joke!? I am the representative of the Xu Clan and the Silver Phoenix Sect! If I kowtow to you, the entire sect will also kowtow to you! If we're betting the pride of my sect, I want equal compensation! If you can't afford the bet, then scram and go back to your beggar hole!"

The nine Virgin Yin disciples nodded in approval. If Miaomiao, who they considered as the strongest of outer disciples, were to bow to Nie Ping, everyone would have lost face. Then, the entire sect would be humiliated. If Nie Ping wanted this bet, he had to put something with equal value on the line as well.

Yet, Nie Ping scoffed, "Fine! A hundred refined spirit stones? I have no problem with that. Hell, I don't even need to gather those stones because you can never pass the trial with your meager cultivation base!"

.

.

.

Watching the entire drama, Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong almost couldn't hold back their laughter. This golden goose of theirs was cunning.

"Elder Qi. How many points do you think my son will get?"

Qi Hong had to cough three times to get rid of the urge to laugh, "At least 90. His meridian, dantian, and Qi volume will be full-score. I don't know about his muscle and bone marrow, though. But I think both of them should be somewhere in the 90s."

"Very perceptive. I have the same idea."

Both Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong mastered the Succubi Sense Technique and possessed eye artifacts. Their naked eyes could see through Miaomiao's meridian, aka his blood vessels. They were aware that he had practiced Qi Dissolving Technique, and his physique was the same as the 3rd stage cultivators with all 108 opened meridians.

"So, you knew about his potential all along?" Qi Hong thought that Xu Xiuying was aware of her son's potential.

"No, I didn't. If it weren't for yesterday's competition, I wouldn't have realized that this boy had hidden his strength. Did he secretly go out and train at night?"

"… No," Qi Hong was surprised that Xu Xiuying wasn't aware of her son's talent, "This is puzzling. I don't know when he trained. I've checked all the CCTV footage, but he did sleep every night."

"Hmm… Then, is it possible that he gets stronger every time he has sex?"

"I don't know, but it's possible."

"…"

Xu Xiuying and Qi Hong were still baffled about how Miaomiao raised his strength and mastered the ice manipulation technique. They misunderstood that he might be a natural genius that could improve his strength via sex.

The two elders ignored the competition and conspired among themselves. Xu Xiuying consulted Qi Hong on how they could use Miaomiao if he was really a hidden genius.

.

.

.

Spectators and many noble clans paid attention to Miaomiao as they were curious about his abilities. Many old cultivators who came here to protect their children were not stupid. Since Xu Xiuying was bold enough to send her spoiled son to this examination, this young man might be a hidden gem among the young generation.

Wei Huang, the first elder of Mountain Goose Sect and the patriarch of the Wei Clan, stared at Miaomiao in doubt. He had received intel from spies from the Silver Phoenix Sect that Miaomiao never cultivated but had sex all day. He wondered why the shrewd old fox allowed her son to be here as Miaomiao might ruin her sect's reputation.

But everyone's suspicion would be answered soon. Miaomiao strolled toward one of the arrays and stood on it. Then, he placed his hands behind his back and raised his head, showing off his pride and dignity.

WHOOM*

Then, the test result appeared.

.

.

[Evaluation – Xu Miao]

Muscle: 95

Bone Marrows: 93

Meridian: 100

Dantian: 100

Qi and Essence: 100

Overall: 98

.

.

Miaomiao glanced at the score and clicked his tongue. He forgot to completely cleanse impure Yin Qi that he absorbed from other girls. Or else, his muscle and bone marrow scores would have been 100.

Although Miaomiao was dissatisfied, all spectators widened their eyes as they had to read through the result five times to confirm the number.

"N-N-Ninety eight!?"

"That's impossible! He's only a 1st stage trash!"

"How!? This is BS! Xu Miao is cheating!"

Everybody but the female disciples from the Silver Phoenix Sect didn't believe the result. Nie Ping and spectators were in denial as the status was too high.

Miaomiao didn't move away from the array. He turned around to Jian Meng, "Do you want to check if your array is working properly?"

"…"

Jian Meng frowned and examined the array. However, the formation was working as intended, so the result was correct.

"There is nothing wrong with the array. Go and stand on the other."

Making sure that the result wasn't wrong, Jian Meng ordered Miaomiao to use another array platform.

Miaomiao didn't resist. He walked away from the old array and stood on another one.

WHOOM*

A new result appeared, but the value was still the same.

"…"

The crowd was speechless. Even Wei Feng was at a loss for words.

Yet, Nie Ping still didn't believe in the result. He stepped on the previous platform that Miaomiao had stood to prove that the latter had done something to cheat.

WHOOM*

Nie Ping's old result was shown. His jaw dropped as he couldn't believe it.

"T-T-That's impossible. The array must have been broken! This whole test is a fraud!"

Miaomiao walked around and stood on every platform. All results were the same, which confirmed that the test wasn't rigged.

"Any complaint?"

"…"

Other disciples also tried to stand on the arrays, and various results were shown. None of them but Wei Feng managed to score more than 80.

Nobody could refute or deny the test result. Jian Meng was also watching the commotion while he was communicating with the sect master of Mountain Goose Sect, reporting the situation and asking for his assistance.

WHOOSH*

Descending from the mountain was the sect master of the Mountain Goose Sect and the overlord of this city, Jia Shan. He was an elderly man with a long white full-beard that reached his belly. His thin and withered physique made him look like a frail old man, but his real cultivation strength was at the 7th stage, one rank higher than Xu Xiuying.

This sect master always kept his long hair tied into a topknot. Yet, his white hair was so long that it could reach the ground, so he couldn't tie everything on top of his head.

Still, the sect master had deep eyes, which always glowed in blue light. His inner Qi was brimmed with energy, which continued to prolong his life even though he was already over 300 years old.

Jia Shan didn't say anything and looked at anyone. He inspected the arrays one by one.

The crowd and all elders stopped speaking. Some of them even held their breath, afraid of this old man. His presence terrified all noble clansmen and cultivators as the strongest sword saint could easily kill them on a whim at any moment.

This was a world where the strong ruled over the weak. Laws and orders were meaningless in front of Jia Shan.

"Xu Xiuying," the Mountain Goose's sect master called for the co-host, "I haven't heard anything about you having a son, let alone having a proper husband."

Xu Xiuying obediently descended from the VIP spectator stand. Then, she bowed to Jia Shan, "This junior has adopted this child recently. Because of his previous undesirable family background, I have given him a new name and surname, so he won't be bullied by his peers."

"In summary, you've found a hidden gem and adopted him as your son. Am I right?"

"Senior Jia is wise."

Their conversation was quiet. Nobody but the two masters could hear them.

Xu Xiuying's usual domineering attitude flipped 180 degrees when she was in front of this sect master. She even confessed a partial truth about Miaomiao, but she didn't reveal that he was once a slave or had another appearance.

Still, Jia Shan gave Xu Xiuying and Miaomiao a meaningful look as if he could see through the disguise technique and everything inside their bodies. Jia Shan took a slow and deep breath before he turned to the crowd.

"I've inspected the arrays. Nothing has been tampered or altered! Also, I've scanned through Xu Miao's constitution. He has a unique physique and solid spirit roots that have been nurtured by practicing the most dangerous cultivation art, Qi Dissolving Technique! The overall score is correct!"

As if an atomic bomb had been dropped, the crowd erupted.

"WHAT!?"
