The Alchemy Vein is the sect's most valuable assets. Spiritual pills (i.e., drugs) are manufactured by alchemists. Not everyone possesses a talent to be one, to boot.
This led to the Alchemy Vein's prosperity.
Seele's residence is a nine-storey pagoda. It is filled with decorations on each floor. However, its ninth floor remains unadorned except for a huge bed.
All I can say is…
It's too damn comfortable.
The light mass atop me went crazy with nibbling my neck. None of us spoke. Only the sound of Seele's mouth licking and biting my neck remained. Her soft and hurried sighs, coupled with her trembling hands, made it clear she is nervous.
As if sensing my gaze, she looked at my eyes directly. The emotions contained within were just as bad as Kiana.
Fortunately, there is still a bit of reservation on them.
"I didn't hurt you, did I?" She asked meekly.
"No. Even if you did…"
"That's unacceptable. Did Sister Kiana…"
Seele's gaze turned strange.
"We didn't do those things."
"Hum…"
In the end, Seele was satiated by hugs and kisses. I went along with her flow. When it came to the undressing part, her face turned beet red.
We can only take things slower.
Despite her seven hundred years of attachment, Seele became very anxious, shy, and reserved when it came down to it.
It depends from person to person, I guess.
Once the two of us calmed down, she lazily went into a sleeping position. I got locked tightly by her embrace. Her chest pressed hard against mine. I felt her strong heartbeat pound strongly. It wasn't diminished by her breasts at all.
The moment my thoughts went in that direction, it spiraled out of control.
Seele's shyness invoked a sense of superiority—one that made me want to tease her more. At the same time, her emotions felt extremely heavy. She desperately wanted to leave her marks on me. I did not know how to respond except to let her.
My hands went to her waist. Her body froze briefly. Her heartbeats became faster. Seele refused to raise her head on my chest anymore.
The dual cultivation nature I possessed, enhanced by the True Spirit's virility (i.e., Nine Dragons Primordial Universe Body), nearly caused my mind to explode. I barely held on with my exceptional Tao Heart.
Silence ensued until Seele broke it.
Her entire body twitched as her legs happened to touch upon my hidden dragon.
The ambiguous atmosphere between us came back at full force. Her breathing turned heavy as she raised her head.
Seele's blush no longer reminded of shyness, but also of being turned on.
"I never knew about… it."
I don't know whether to cry or not when she began to use her legs to rub against my legs. Inadvertently or not, my hidden dragon gets affected.
What's more distressing was Seele's embarrassment erupting at this moment. She stopped playing around for a while, only to continue after a minute or two.
This calamity…
Will I survive it?
*****
The Wushi Dao Sect is the heaven above heaven. It is Earth's Holy Land of martial arts and immortal cultivation. The resources one could get by becoming a disciple—even as an outer disciple—exceeds most of the resources allocated to immortal academies.
It absorbs the top percentile of talented immortal cultivators and guides them to become the pillars of the future.
Just the fact that all of the first generation instructors who established immortal academies came from it was enough to speak volumes of its influence.
Even the Federation's high rung was run by people from the sect. Every disciple and elder had passed the character tests and are considered more trustworthy than most people.
When some unsatisfied people tried to protest, it led to nothing. The majority of people on Earth are deeply grateful for the Federation. The unreasonable ones are swept away and scorned at by the crowd before they could voice out complaints to the Federation's official offices.
Simply put, its raw power (i.e., high-level cultivators) and authority made it the undisputed leader of Earth itself.
"He's back…"
Bronya stared at the pagoda in the distance. The spiritual qi fluctuations she caused soon died down.
Fresh out of a minor realm breakthrough, the first thing she noticed after leaving seclusion was a "Sun". To a Peak Golden Core Realm, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation was like that. Their life level, Dharma Laws, and high dimensional capabilities treat the lower realms like ants.
She immediately sensed who it was.
"The pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Realm. As expected…"
Just as she thought that the two were having a happy time, she saw Shi Tian's figure leave the pagoda first. He easily met her gaze and reappeared right in front of Bronya.
"It's been a long time." He said.
"Yes. How is your situation? The last time I asked Kiana, it was bad."
"I can resolve it on my own."
Shi Tian's confident answer earned a nod from her.
"Shall we conduct a ceremony for our Sect Leader?"
"No, no. Keep it as it is."
Just then, he noticed a sly glint on Bronya's eyes.
"You learned how to tease people…"
"Some things change in a decade."
Bronya was feeling quite smug when he shut her down in eight words.
"I heard your company is not doing well?"
"..."
Turns out, Bronya opened a personal company under a different alias. She wanted to satisfy her vanity and create games using it.
Without the sect's and the Federation's influence, she managed to drive it to bankruptcy.
"How did…"
"Divination reveals a lot of things."
Shi Tian's smug smile came next.
When it comes to teasing, Shi Tian is the undisputed number one.
"Anyways, I learned of your hard work."
Seeing him talk about serious stuff, Bronya dropped her pretenses.
"It's nothing major. I can deal with interpersonal affairs. The others had it harder." She replied.
"There is no merit without hard work. You can ask me for help if you need it."
"I will take it in mind. We have some things that require your help."
Bronya freely told the major issues they faced.
"We are planning to create a star system wide formation of the eighth grade."
"I can help with that part. It's a feasible plan."
"We found a high-dimensional entity anchored to Venus. Kiana mentioned another higher-dimensional entity tied to it."
"Let's settle it within next year. I have an idea of their identities."
"The self-sustaining cycle of spiritual plants…"
