Jia Shan and Jia Wenhe took their time in the meeting with the Myriad Cauldron’s elders and the sect master since he was reporting the changes in the Mountain Goose Sect and the appearance of a succubus queen.

Meanwhile, Xu Miao and the 13 girls cheered as they finally found a temporary home. Their morale was high since this city was out of Xu Xiuying or Wei Huang’s influence.

Despite having their rare precious time to be alone, everyone was too busy cleaning their new courtyard, rooms, and buildings. Also, they unpacked their “living” luggage, the chest that carried a teenage girl inside.

She was the rescued mental girl, who was left behind by Long Meifang’s group. Jiang Lan was in charge of keeping her alive.

The party had been hiding this girl inside a human-sized chest to avoid inspections of various checkpoints. Although they ran into problems during the boat trip, Jia Shan brought her along with them.

After cleaning the girl’s body and giving her a proper dress, her unique beauty outshone Jiang Lan and others. Her wavy long brunette hair was similar to one of the Hollywood movie stars. Her slanted eyes with double eyelids, sharp nose, and arched eyebrows were like a piece of art. The youthful flawless white-jade skin lustered in the sunlight while her s-curved proportion, perky breasts, and round buttocks made Xu Miao drooled.

Xu Miao hadn’t tried to brainwash the girl yet since all yin slaves and Wei Yuan monopolized his free time. Now that everyone had a new home, he was looking forward to adding this juicy girl to his collection.

“How is she?” Xu Miao was worried about the girl since they had been restraining her freedom for almost a month.

“We gave her a sleeping pill. She’s is okay as long as she’s sleeping.”

Jiang Lan always kept feeding her sleeping pills since this teenage girl was a troublemaker. Every woman, especially Wei Yuan, was wary of her.

“It must have been torturing for her. We can finally let her move outside the chest.”

Jiang Lan revealed a wry smile, “Please heal her before you do. Master, you have no idea how feisty she was when I fed her water and food.”

“Oh? What did she do?”

“She bit me. She always drooled and tried to eat us. There was one time that I got careless, and she almost tore my arm’s flesh with her teeth!”

Jiang Lan described the brunette girl’s technique and the dangerous traits whenever she was freed. The rescued girl always eyed Jiang Lan and all girls as if she was looking at delicious food.

Xu Miao laughed, “Well, she has a mental illness, so that’s totally normal.”

“No. She used Energy Drain on me as well.”

“… What?” Xu Miao froze.

“It’s similar to Energy Drain, but it has the smell of Xu Xiuying.”

“…”

Xu Miao understood the terms, “the smell of Xu Xiuying”. Jiang Lan referred to one of the Silver Phoenix Sect’s core techniques, Vampiric Touch, which was more advanced than Energy Drain.

“She must have practiced Vampiric Touch and got corrupted like the others,” Xu Miao guessed, judging from all collected information from Yao Lan and Long Meifang.

“I doubt it. She’s somewhat special. The other sisters aren’t this ferocious when they were still in the corrupted state.”

“… Is that so?” Xu Miao took a mental note that he had to be careful about this brunette girl since Jiang Lan was this paranoid, “Alright. Thanks for the warning. For now, let’s tidy our new home.”

…

At night, Jia Shan visited them to relay the result of the meeting.

“Congrats, kids. The Myriad Cauldron Sect has accepted all of us as guests. The sect will protect us.”

It was a piece of good news for all girls. But for Xu Miao, he sensed hidden bad news.

Learning from the past experience, Xu Miao didn’t believe that the alchemist sect would let them stay for free, “What’s the catch, master?”

Jia Shan shrugged, “They want me to be their guest elder. I also have to teach their combat disciples my swordsmanship.”

“I see,” Xu Miao had expected this.

However, Jia Shan hadn’t finished, “They also want you to work as an herbalist or farmer.”

“Wait, what!?”

As Xu Miao had guessed, there were conditions.

“They’re not going to let you stay in their sect for free. All of you have to earn your keep. They won’t pay for your food or provide you with spirit stones if you don’t work. Also, we will have to pay the rents.”

“How much?”

“It’s quite cheap. 10 raw spirit stones a month per person, except me. There’re 15 of you, so that will be 150 SS a month.”

The renting rate was cheap for Xu Miao, but he didn’t want to pay for the rent, “Err, can’t we join their sect and be their disciples?”

Jia Shan sneered, “Can you concoct pills?”

Xu Miao wanted to say that he could make low-grade healing pills, but he was too embarrassed to say. After all, he could only make one type of pills.

Dejected, Xu Miao sulked, “I can’t.”

“Haiz. Don’t blame yourself. Not everyone can master the art of alchemy. Well, it’s not like they’re forcing all of you to work. But if you do, you’ll get some herbs and contribution points to exchange for spirit stones. If you don’t want the stones, you can exchange the points for the rent.”

Xu Miao secretly checked his invisible ring. Inside the spatial space, he still had several thousands of refined demonic stones, raw demonic stones, Yin stones, and Yang stones. Even if he had to live alone for a century, he wouldn’t run out of resources soon.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Good. Stay here from now on. If you don’t want to work, make sure to inform me. I’ll spar with you until you drop!”

“Err, sure. By the way, where do I report for duties? Where is the herb farms? I only saw workshops and resident buildings around here.”

The Myriad Cauldron Sect was the entire Yeet City. Between the outer city walls and the second layer of walls were civilian zone. Traders, commoners, rogue cultivators, and local people could only access this area. Beyond the inner walls was the sect’s private properties. It had only one entrance.

Outer disciple zones occupied half of the sect since it consisted of pill workshops, libraries, and resident courtyards. Currently, Xu Miao and everyone stayed in this district.

“Ah, I forgot to mention. You have to report yourself at the outer sect’s contribution hall first. The sect’s farm fields are kept secret, so no outsider can enter them. The only access gate is inside the contribution hall.”

“So, it’s in a sub-dimension like the monster realm?”

“It’s different. My ex-sect’s monster realm have cultivation restrictions, but this one is unrestricted. Anything harmful to humans has already been eradicated. It’s now a world of agriculture.”

“Oh!”

Xu Miao admired how this alchemist sect procured their resources. If it were him, he, too, would turn a sub-dimensional world into farmlands or factories to provide him infinite resources and pill ingredients.

“Anyway, keep your wives at home if you’re not sure. Go and report to the contribution hall and try the job yourself. If you like it, you can bring your wives with you. Okay?”

“Okay. Thank you, master.”

“Good. I’m off. Don’t cause trouble here. You’re not in my sect anymore.”

Jia Shan left Xu Miao alone and went to his new residence, which was located inside the inner area of the sect. He received many assignments from his new boss, and he had no time to entertain Xu Miao anymore.

…

After Jia Shan left, Xu Miao returned to his room, so he could copy the texts of Moon Meridian Scripture for every girl, including Wei Yuan.

The yin slaves also took this opportunity to cultivate under the moonlight at night. Except for Wei Yuan, they took a day off from dual-cultivating sessions since they needed time to digest their yin essence.

Wei Yuan chose to live in the same room as Xu Miao. While he was copying the scripture, she also helped.

As for the rescued brunette girl, she also stayed in Xu Miao’s room, waiting to be converted. Her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was gagged. She already woke up, but she only stared at Xu Miao and drooled.

*Growl*

The girl’s stomach was growling. Even though she had already had a big dinner two hours ago, she still wanted more food.

Wei Yuan peered at the hungry girl, “I don’t understand why you’re keeping this girl around. Aren’t you satisfied with 13 wives?”

“She’s there for dual-cultivating purposes. I can learn some skills that she possesses, and I can make her my yin slave.”

“Like those girls? So, you’ve brainwashed all of them?”

“Yeah. They’re useful.”

“I see. Will you brainwash me, too?”

Xu Miao stopped his hands and looked at his wife, “Had I wanted to do so, you would have been converted into a mindless doll since that day in the underground mine.”

“Oh? Why not?” Wei Yuan was surprised.

Xu Miao sighed. He couldn’t say that Wei Yuan’s natural resistance was so high that even the cheat system couldn’t penetrate her spiritual defense. He stopped working and embraced Wei Yuan from behind. Though, his hands slipped into her clothes.

“Why should I break my lovely wife when her moan is so sexy that I want to keep making more babies?”

“Hehe, you kinky.”

Wei Yuan turned around and kissed Xu Miao. They undressed and exchanged love in front of the restrained mental girl.

*Growl*

Her stomach continued to cry. She wiggled and crawled closer to Xu Miao, wanting to take a bite.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan was wary of the girl. She ungagged her, shoved a chicken fish’s head into her mouth, and then kicked her away.

The mental girl ignored the lewd activities and chewed the fish in glee, even though it was raw. Within five minutes, not even a fishbone was left behind. She calmed down and fell asleep despite being at the ring-side of live porn.

…

The next morning, all yin slaves went to sleep. Wei Yuan and the mental girl were the only ones active during the daytime.

“I’ll be off. Take care of the houses, ‘kay?” Xu Miao left his residence, so he could explore the sect.

The Myriad Cauldron’s outer sect was as large as a metropolitan city in the modern world, and finding ways through this district was difficult without a guide. It was like a maze since most workshop buildings looked the same. Only their address plates were different.

Thus, Xu Miao planned to ask around.

As Xu Miao was about to approach the nearest cultivator, he had a sense of déjà vu. By reflex, he aborted the mission of approaching tough men with a higher cultivation base, and he looked for someone weaker.

After looking for a while, Xu Miao found an old lady with white messy hair, who dressed like a farmer. She didn’t have a cultivation base, so he believed she was a common worker of this sect.

“Excuse me, do you know where the contribution hall is? I’m new here, and I’m kinda lost.”

The old woman raised her eyebrows. She turned to Xu Miao and looked at him from head to toes.

“A slave? What are you doing here?”

As soon as Xu Miao heard the word, he rolled his eyes.

“Ah, shit. Here we go again.”
