Chapter 52 Pampering Long Ling'er Again

As the morning light fully bathed the mountains of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, Zhou Tiancai slowly emerged from his master's wife's cave.

He stood on the cliff outside the cave, took a deep breath of the morning air carrying spiritual mist, and felt completely relaxed and refreshed.

one day one Night.

A full day and night of madness.

Even though Su Meili was already at the Nascent Soul stage, she ultimately succumbed completely in Zhou Tian's arms.

She didn't even have the strength to lift a finger; she could only close her eyes and make soft humming sounds through her nose, letting Zhou Tian do as he pleased.

"Sigh, most people really can't handle the gentleness of my teacher's wife."

Zhou Tian couldn't help but sigh.

Then he looked down at his palm.

A faint purple-gold spiritual light flowed in his palm, a symbol of his peak Nascent Soul cultivation.

Overnight, he went from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

If word got out that such a rapid rate of improvement was to spread, it would probably shake the entire cultivation world.

Meanwhile, Master's wife, Su Meili, broke through the shackles from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and stepped into the early stage of the Divine Transformation stage.

Although it is only the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the aura still needs to be stabilized, it is already a completely different level of life.

"The current state of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect..."

Zhou Tian looked up.

His gaze swept over the rolling mountains and the dilapidated palaces that had been simply restored, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"With my master's wife, a Nascent Soul elder, overseeing things, and me, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, along with nine senior sisters in the Golden Core stage..."

"In terms of top-tier combat strength, it is no less than any first-rate sect."

He slowly walked down the cliff and along the familiar bluestone path, heading deeper into the sect.

A mountain breeze blows, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Everything you see along the way is a testament to post-war reconstruction.

The broken stone pillars were re-erected, the damaged palace walls were temporarily repaired with spirit wood, and the trenches left by the battle on the ground were filled in.

Although it still looks simple, it has come to life.

only...

Zhou Tian frowned slightly.

There are too few people.

The entire Tai Xuan Sword Sect now consists of only the Master's wife, nine senior sisters, and him, the disciple.

Eleven people.

Even if each of them is a top-tier fighter, a sect cannot grow and thrive without interruption if it relies on just these eleven people.

"We need to recruit disciples."

"Furthermore, we need to recruit female disciples."

A profound meaning flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes.

The core of the "many children, many blessings" system is getting married and having children.

Although his senior sisters had all become his Daoist partners, their number was ultimately limited.

To quickly increase one's strength, it is necessary to expand the size of one's "harem".

Recruiting female disciples is undoubtedly the best way.

It can both replenish the sect with fresh blood and...

Zhou Tian's smile deepened.

He wandered around the sect but didn't see a single senior sister.

"Where did they all go?"

Zhou Tian was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, with the great battle just over and the sect rebuilding, the senior sisters should all be busy.

"Only Long Ling'er is left. I wonder if Senior Sister Long Ling'er is in the cave."

He thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards Long Ling'er's cave.

As soon as Zhou Tian arrived outside the cave, the stone door creaked open.

A petite figure popped out from inside.

"Junior brother!"

Today, Long Ling'er wore a light blue long dress with silver dragon patterns embroidered on the hem, which swayed gently with her movements.

Her delicate little face was full of surprise, her eyes curved into crescents, and the pair of small dragon horns on her forehead gleamed in the morning light.

"What brings you here?"

Long Ling'er ran to Zhou Tian in a few steps, naturally took his arm, and almost hung on him.

Zhou Tian smiled and ruffled her hair.

"I came to ask you where all the other senior sisters went? I've searched the entire sect and haven't seen a single one."

"Oh, you mean this?"

Long Ling'er blinked and explained.

"The eldest and second eldest sisters went down the mountain early this morning, saying they were going to several nearby towns to see if there were any promising young cultivators, in order to recruit a new batch of disciples."

She paused, then added.

"Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Sister, and Seventh Senior Sister received a message from the Taiqing Sect yesterday, inviting them to the Taiqing Sect to discuss important matters."

"It should be about the future status of our Tai Xuan Sword Sect in the Righteous Path Alliance, as well as the allocation of resources and so on."

"The Taiqing Sect?"

Zhou Tian raised an eyebrow.

He was familiar with the name.

The Taiqing Sect is the leader of the righteous sects in this region, and is considered a superior sect to the Taixuan Sword Sect.

The sect is powerful, with several Nascent Soul stage ancestors in charge, and dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

only...

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Tian's eyes.

When the Tai Xuan Sword Sect was besieged by the demonic forces and its protective formation was about to break, the sect was in grave danger.

The Taiqing Sect chose to stand by and watch, without even sending a single soldier.

Now, the Tai Xuan Sword Sect has not only survived the crisis, but has also killed two Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic path.

Now they've remembered their identity as a "superior sect".

"Want a piece of the pie...?"

Zhou Tian muttered to himself, a mocking smile curving his lips.

Long Ling'er didn't hear clearly, and looked up at him, asking, "Junior brother, what did you say?"

"It's nothing."

Zhou Tian shook his head, suppressing his thoughts.

He reached out and pinched Long Ling'er's cheek, laughing, "I just think some people are pretty shameless."
