"Madam Immortal!" Wu Qianyu jumped up and bowed, the rest of the girls also doing the same.
"Good girls, sit!" Gong Liyun let them sit before continuing, "I'll explain... The real reason why those dirty men can't control themselves is because they use virgins who cultivate the Eternal Winter Sutra as dual cultivation cauldrons."
"What!"
"That's vile!"
They had expected some weird answer but this fact was a bit unexpected.
She further explained, "The Blazing Sun Art is about releasing yang energy, as much as possible, just like the sun which is a eternal ball of flame. The more they release into a woman, the faster their cultivation grows. You can imagine, a girl that cultivates a powerful yin ice art will allow them to release their yang at a tremendous rate."
Song Wushuang had a skeptical look, "If the Glacier Sect women are in danger, why did you allow the Divine Blazing Mountain in your sector?"
"You're a smart girl!" Gong Liyun smiled at her, "Murong Aiyin is too old, I think she's starting to lose her mind. I smell a scheme brewing that might hurt her disciples. I put the two sects close together so someone will slip up and I can find out what that scheme is. I'd hate to see those wonderful girls be ruined."
"Speaking of which..." She looked over at Li Yuechan and the four ex-Glacier Sect members. "I was really saddened that she would cast you five away. But, I'm also glad my little dragon picked you girls up. Now tell me..."
Her gave them a naughty smirk, "Does he fuck all of you at the same time or do you take turns? His stamina in bed was never very good with me..."
"Nonsense!"
"Madam immortal!"
Wu Qianyu couldn't believe this immortal old lady would talk like that, and about her master! The other girls also looked scandalized.
"Come on! Tell me some details!"
Wu Qianyu stood up, her junior sisters following suit, "Madam immortal, thank you for your care today. We are very tired and would like to rest for the evening."
They bowed and hurriedly walked away from this crazy old woman as fast as possible.
"Hehehe, you don't believe me? Ask your master when he gets back!" She called after them.

Chen Wentian discussed some serious matters with Lin Qingcheng and Zhou Ziyun the next morning. With the influx of millions of taels of gold, he wanted to invest in a large scale expansion of the sect. They could start transforming the sect's territory to improve the land, increase herb cultivation, ensure overall security, and construct additional buildings for more disciples. Zhou Ziyun would of course be responsible for everything while still working on her cultivation.
Lin Qingcheng, on the other hand, returned to Moonlight City to further expand her business venture. At the Spirit Initiate Realm, he allowed her to do whatever she wanted within the kingdom. She was excited to use her new found powers and he felt just the tiniest bit of pity for the slave traders and pimps in the kingdom.
Chen Wentian already knew where Wu Qianyu and the others were and he arrived in Crystal Bamboo City just as the missions were starting to appear. He found them in the mission hall and they quickly caught up with each other about what had happened.
"Really, she said that about me?" Chen Wentian exhaled in frustration, "She's lying about that, you know?"
He was sure Wu Qianyu believed him wasn't sure about the others. Xu Lanyi in particular gave him a distrustful look.
Chen Wentian wanted to destroy something fragile to vent his anger. That crazy old woman! Of course he had never touched her. But she sowed the seed of doubt within his disciples' minds. Jealous women were always the most difficult to deal with!
"It is indeed troublesome if her hunch about Murong Aiyin is true." Chen Wentian pondered. "She was a bit too crazy the last time we met..."
He also didn't want beautiful women like Long Yifei to meet a tragic end. He recalled the particularly intense and lustful face of the 'wife bandit' Feng Ziping and immediately felt irritated. It was a natural feeling of competitiveness between men. Of course he wouldn't let such a beautiful woman be snatched away under his nose!
"Alright, I agree with your plan." He said to Li Yuechan and Song Wushuang, "You can take missions in proximity to the Glacier Sect and also team up with them as you see fit."
"Thank you, master!"
As the missions started to be posted, it came with some additional rules. Some missions were team missions and it was not necessary for a single sect to take them. Two sects could come to an agreement and form a team and share the points. Chen Wentian was referring to such a situation. It was possible since the five were previous Glacier Sect disciples. The five also clearly still felt a lingering connection to their old sect and the people they knew.
Gong Liyun truly was a crafty old lady, so easily pulling people to do her bidding. He felt a bit annoyed although he still allowed it this case as he had to repay her favor for yesterday.
He double checked their gear within their spatial bags, making sure they all had the necessary food, weapons, clothes, pills, and money. He also wanted to guarantee their safety so he handed Li Yuechan another one of his soul items, a red leathery thing that looked like a belt. "In an life threatening situation, activate this and drop it on the ground. Doesn't matter where, a hole will appear. You should all jump into it and you'll be safe. Okay?"
"Yes, master!"
"Good, be careful!" Chen Wentian gave each of them a hug and Wu Qianyu did so as well.
He watched them head off to the take a mission and he was left alone with Wu Qianyu.
"Eager to start slaying monsters?" He asked her after a moment of silence.
Wu Qianyu nodded eagerly.
"Good! I'll be coming along with you."
"What?" This was unexpected as she thought she would be fighting alone.
Chen Wentian wrapped his arm around her waist intimately. "Why, you don't want to be with your master?" He teased her.
"No... wait, yes..." Wu Qianyu was a bit flustered, they were still in broad daylight, with people around!
"Relax, since you're at the 10th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm, I will help you develop your unique Dao as you aim for immortal realm. Don't you want to be an immortal?" He looked at her and spoke earnestly.
"Of course!" Wu Qianyu's eyes shined with excitement.
"It will be the most difficult thing you've ever done in your life... are you ready?"
"Yes, master!"
