Soon, there was only Xue Cong and Yue Jie left in the main hall.

Yue Jie wanted to get back to her room to sew the new clothes for Lin Xuan Qi, but she felt Xue Cong's hands holding onto her wrist.

"Sister Xue Cong..."

Xue Cong lowered her head, bit her lower lips and struggled to get words out of her mouth.

What Yue Xin said had planted an idea into her mind.

An idea that she couldn't shake off.

"Are you alright?" Yue Jie asked.

Finally, Xue Cong mustered enough courage and said, "I... Err... How do you make a man happy?"

"What do you mean by that?" Yue Jie wanted to confirm that she had heard correctly.

"I want to make Master Lin happy." Xue Cong said and felt exposed to Yue Jie. But she was willing to do so for the sake of Lin Xuan Qi.

Surprisingly, Yue Jie didn't say much, held onto Xue Cong's hand, and patted on the back of it.

"We could..."

Xue Cong's eyes opened wide at the things Yue Jie whispered into her ears.

It was a glimpse into a world that she had never stepped into before.

When Yue Jie finished telling her all that she knew, Xue Cong glanced in the direction of Lin Xuan Qi's room.

Her heart thumped when she thought about what she was planning to do.

But her knees went weak at the thought of it.

Yue Jie felt her nervousness through her hands, and said, "Maybe you should just take a good rest."

But what Xue Cong said to her next surprised her instead.

"Would you think I'm crazy if we..."

...

Inside his room, Lin Xuan Qi was sitting on his bed, flipping through the pages of the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.

He knew that he was still in the initial stages of strengthening his body, getting it ready for the later stages.

When the body was tough enough and ready to be a vessel for the Five-Element Qi, he could then be able to move on to the next stage.

Right now, all that he had to do was to keep practicing the physique strengthening stances and absorb as much Five-Element Qi into his dantian as possible.

He stood up and started practicing the stances.

The heart for fire, liver for wood, spleen for earth, lungs for metal, and kidneys for water.

First, he diverted his Five-Element Qi to his heart.

And then the liver.

When he was done, he diverted his Five-Element Qi to his spleen.

Previously, he didn't have enough Five-Element Qi to do so, but today, he succeeded.

He could sense the stable and heavy earth all around him.

Giving his body a sense that it weighed a few tons, and steady like a rock.

After that, he tried to divert his Five-Element Qi to his lungs.

This time, he could only have a quick sense of the metals in the surroundings, and it went away after a few breaths.

His Five-Element Qi ran out again.

Lin Xuan Qi gave out a long breath and sat back onto his bed.

His progress of increasing the amount of Five-Element Qi wasn't fast enough.

He thought about the Five-Element Stones.

It was supposed to help in getting more Five-Element Qi into his dantian.

But to get the Five-Element Stones, he would have to get married and have kids of his own.

Lin Xuan Qi wasn't opposed to the idea, and it was something that he wanted, to have a legacy of his own in this world through the Lin Clan.

He was sure that Xue Cong would agree if he asked.

However, he wouldn't know what the fallout would be from Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi if he married Xue Cong.

Maybe he would have to check on what they thought about him with the daily summary.

...

Lee Zhen Ren's residence.

Sima Ye was standing in front of the gate, while he straightened his attire.

There was a flurry of activities within the gates.

Servants were setting up tables and chairs, putting up decorations with auspicious words for the birthday celebrations.

The guards were relaxed.

Sima Ye noticed that some of them were taking sips of wine from their wine bottles when no one was looking.

They too were in a joyous mood for the birthday celebrations.

"Master Sima Ye, Lee Zhen Ren is ready to see you now." A servant boy bowed at him and said.

"Thanks for informing Lee Zhen Ren." Sima Ye bowed at the servant boy.

He knew that Lee Zhen Ren was someone that protected his own men, which was why Zhu Di could behave like a tyrant towards the mortals.

No one could go against a Core Formation Cultivator like Lee Zhen Ren, who was the strongest and most powerful around Hong Feng City.

Only the Sima Family with their ties with the Qing Feng Sect could do so, but it would certainly come at a cost that the Sima Family was not ready to pay.

He followed the servant boy through the corridors with great scenery of gardens and buildings by the sides.

Presents that were sent from all over the land were stacked all over the compound.

"Master Lee Zhen Ren is inside this room." The servant boy stopped outside a room and gestured for Sima Ye to enter.

Sima Ye bowed to the servant boy again, and he stepped into the room.

Inside the room were paintings about immortals ascending into heaven.

Some were about life in heaven that would last eternally.

The quest for immortality was in every cultivator's heart and mind.

And as time went past quickly after a few hundred years without progressing to the next level of cultivation, it became an obsession for some of the cultivators.

Lee Zhen Ren seemed to be one of them to Sima Ye.

As the saying goes, whatever you are lacking, you will show it off and talk about it as much as you could.

"Sima Ye, how is the Sima family head doing now? He should be around three hundred years old now?"

An old man's voice boomed in the room and Sima Ye bowed at a figure sitting in the middle of the room.
