News of Lin Hao receiving the treatment reserved folden Elixir seeds spread rapidly throughout the Xuan Yi.

  This made many disciples envious, especially those who knew Lin Hao's background, thinking he was simply lucky to have a good master!

  However, in the Xuan Yi, only the lineage of the Great Bamboo Peak articurly protective, aing accepted as a disciple under Feng gyue was as hard as climbing to the heavens.

  If Lin Hao's victory over Ning Qingxue anded respect, then his enjoyment of the Golden Elixir seed treatment not only evoked envy but also inspired a desire to befriend him.

  Every Golden Elixir seed was destio form a Golden Elixir, and not just an ordinary one.

  Sudividuals were bound to rise to the upper echelons of the sect.

  Making es now would make future visits easier.

  Half a month ter, Lin Hao's new cave dwelling was pleted, and many came to gratute him on his housewarming.

  Not long ago, they were fighting fiercely, and now they were calling each other brothers.

  Lin Hao didn't mind this ge, as everyone came bearing gifts.

  Even a mosquito is meat, after all.

  He naturally opened his doors wide in wele.

  Shui Ling'er, as the mistress, prepared a modest feast to eain the guests, ensuring everyone ehemselves.

  After sending off all the guests, someone arrived te.

  Seeing who it was, Shui Ling'er whispered in Lin Hao's ear, "Should I step aside?"

  "No need."

  Lin Hao ed his arm around Shui Linger's waist and said leisurely, "Wang Shihan, what brings you here?"

  Looking at the man before her, Wang Shihan bit her lip lightly. ing here had taken a lot of ce.

  Because of Wang Ben's big mouth, most disciples in the Xuan Yi knew she had lost her purity to Lin Hao, which tarnished her reputation.

  But she bore ne against Lin Hao; her anger was directed at Wang Ben.

  Moreover, Lin Hao's defeat of Ning Qingxue had shown her his terrifying talent.

  So she had made up her mind to e and follow him.

  "Lin Hao, I'm here... to apply for the position of maid," Wang Shihan stammered.

  Lin Hao was taken aback; he hadn't expected her to apply to be a maid.

  The new cave dwelli spacious, and he nning to recruit a few maids.

  But the news had just been released.

  And Wang Shihan, who ranked iop twenty of the inner sepetition, was willing to lower herself to be his maid?

  He couldn't believe it. Was it his charm araordinary 'abilities' that had won her over?

  "Alright, you stay by Ling'er's side and follow her instrus."

  After the initial surprise, Lin Hao agreed.

  Such a beautiful maid was impossible to refuse.

  "Yes," Wang Shihan replied softly.

  Lin Hao stroked his , pting his steps: first, recruit a few maids.

  Then have them find people to trade with him.

  To form a Golden Elixir, he o tinue abs spiritual energy and pressing his internal spiritual power, which required the Primordial Yin of women for bance.

  Shui Ling'er and Wang Shihan couldn't satisfy him.

  He needed pure female cultivators!

  Fortunately, he had plenty of spirit stones on hand and could trade with them like before!

  This pn would rely on Shui Ling'er and the others to execute!

  First, he would reward Ling'er, and then revisit with Wang Shihan.

  With that, he embraced the two women and eagerly ehe new cave dwelling.

  Two days ter.

  Shui Ling'er gnced behi Wang Shihan, who was limping slightly.

  This woman didn't know how to refuse or was just inexperienced!

  The two women's skills were quite strong, and soon they were able t a new maid to Lin Hao every now and then.

  Of course, they were maids by day and "maids" by night.

  Most of these women had already been involved with Lin Hao and decided to follow him.

  But they cked the Primordial Yin he needed.

  This left Lin Hao somewhat disappointed.

  The two women discussed and decided that since pure female cultivators were hard to find within the sect, they could look to other sects.

  There were many small sects and cultivation families around the Xuan Yihat relied on them.

  After the two wome, Lin Hao's life returo peace.

  However, within the Xuan Yi, things were far from peaceful.

  The sed the Lieya were frequently g over the ownership of a spirit stone mine.

  The disciples were abuzz with discussions, all filled with righteous indignation.

  Another hot topic was Lin Hao.

  "Extra, extra, Lin Hao, the charming young master, has taken another e..."

  Lin Hao's exg life made many disciples envious.

  Lin Hao himself was unaware that he had gaihe niame "charming young master," as he was focused on preparing for his Golden Elixir formation.

  One day, after finishing his cultivation, he sensed someone approag his cave dwelling a out a wisp of his divine seo check.

  It was Han Liyue, and she had brought a young girl with her.

  Lin Hao frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart. What was this beautiful to again?

  Her as st time had truly startled him.

  If he hadn't disliked taking advantage of others, he might have takehen.

  The young don't uand Emperor Wei Wu; the old all bee cellor Cao.

  He stood up, lifted the restri on his cave dwelling, ahe two in.

  Upoing again.

  A blush rose on Han Liyue's face.

  However, being someone who had weathered storms, she quickly hid her shyness.

  She got straight to the point and expined her purpose.

  After hearing her out, Lin Hao felt a bit speechless.

  Han Liyue was here to repay a debt of gratitude again; why was she so obsessed with repaying him?

  But this time, it wasn't her herself.

  Instead, she had persuaded her o e and make a deal.

  Seeing Lin Hao unmoved, Han Liyue grew anxious. Her niece was a beauty and still a virgin.

  She had worked hard to persuade her!

  She transmitted her voice, "Lin Hao, aren't you looking for people to trade with? How do you feel about my niece? Would you make a deal with her?"

  "......"

  Lin Hao did want to find pure female cultivators, but Han Liyue's niece clearly wasn't willing, and her cultivation level was too low, only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

  Even if he took her Primordial Yin, it wouldn't help much, and he hesitated.

  Seeing his hesitation, Han Liyue didn't uand and tio transmit her voice, "I'm old and faded, and you don't fancy me, but my niece is a national beauty. Why wouldn't you want her?"

  Uh... Lin Hao met her resentful gaze and transmitted back, "You're not old and faded at all. In fact, I think you've maintained yourself very well. Your skin is like that of a young girl in her prime, with an added touature charm.

  pared to a young girl, you're even more alluring."

  Han Liyue softly transmitted, "If that's the case, why do you still refuse?"

  "The sect is calling you the charming young master, and you be with so many women. Why not me?"

  Asking this took all her ce. Her repeated advances had made her feel quite cheap.

  She didn't even uand her as anymore.

  When did I get such a title? Lin Hao silently pined in his heart.

  He then transmitted, "I always believe in fair trade, and in the Demon Lock Tower, you took good care of me. Saving you and your son was just a casual act. You really don't o repay me this way, or at all."

  "How do you know I'm not willing? Lin Hao, my long-sealed heart beats for you..."

  What?

  Lin Hao almost thought he misheard, but seeing Han Liyue's blushing face.

  How could he not uand the truth in her words?

  He had already felt a slight attra to this beautiful woman.

  If he refused now, it would truly hurt her pride! And it wouldn't make sense.

  Sp!

  He took two steps forward and grabbed her hand.

  "Lin Hao, you..." Han Liyue looked up.

  "Your injuries haven't healed yet, have they? e, let's go inside, and I'll heal you," Lin Hao said.

  "No need."

  Han Liyue thought Lin Hao was genuinely going to heal her and refused.

  "My dual cultivatiohod heal," Lin Hao transmitted.

  "Alright, alright then..."

  Han Liyue g her niece, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Xiao E, wait here for a moment."

  Their versation was mostly through transmission, leaving Han Liyue's niece a bit fused.

  But she nodded obediently, "Okay."
