Heavenly Harem: Raising My Disciple With Infinite Dual Cultivation

They turned and looked at Liu Fengling’s condition, which appeared to be a mess.

If even she, who was a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator, could be injured like that, then what would happen to them?

One of the inner disciples of the Cangyun Sect stepped closer to Lin Tian. He clasped both hands together and lowered his head.

"This battle happened because we started it first. We have already accepted our consequences," he said wisely.

"Good."

Lin Tian flew away at high speed, leaving the Cangyun Sect behind and allowing Liu Fengling to remain lying helplessly in the arms of one of the female inner disciples.

The man turned and ordered all the disciples to prepare, not to counterattack the Lingxian Sect, but to clean up and help restore the condition of the other disciples.

The elders were injured, and Sect Master Liu was still unconscious.

As the disciple with the highest status, he held full control over the sect’s recovery.

Elsewhere, Lin Tian had flown down the hill while storing the two Natural Spiritual Veins inside his bag of holding.

Now, there were still three more Natural Spiritual Veins left for him to obtain.

Perhaps he would do it at the red-robed sect later. However, according to what Wu Yue said, many sects used red as the color of their robes.

There were 12 sects that had red sect robes. However, before doing that, Lin Tian at least had to find a place to rest.

Using the Soul-Splitting Whip had taken up quite a lot of spiritual qi energy from his body.

By resting for a while while cultivating, his condition would recover, and he would be ready to search for another sect.

His attention turned to the side, approaching one of the hills and hollowing it out.

A cultivation cave appeared in front of him, with the hill area seeming rich in natural spiritual qi energy.

He stepped inside and sat on the rocky floor. Both of his hands began forming hand seals, and he activated his cultivation technique, absorbing the essence of the natural qi flow to restore his condition.

I did not expect Liu Fengling to have a spirit beast like that. If I had not increased the power of that white dragon technique earlier, I would definitely have been seriously injured.

Lin Tian began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing well, calming his mind and clearing his heart.

To gain effectiveness from cultivation, Lin Tian had to achieve calmness and peace while cultivating.

After his condition recovered, he would leave the stone cave in that hill and continue searching for the second sect.

That sect was among the 12 sects that Wu Yue had written on the information token.

He did not know how long it would take to find them. However, he hoped he would find them quickly.

***

The next day.

A burst of spiritual qi energy spread widely from inside the stone cave in the hill, knocking rocks down from the peak, shaking the trees, and blowing fierce wind in every direction.

Lin Tian’s eyes opened, and his hands clenched tightly.

The flow of qi essence began to stop supplying spiritual qi into his body. His body felt so light and full of strength, relieved and calm.

He rose from his cross-legged position on the stone floor, stepping firmly toward the outside area of the hill.

Once he arrived there, he tapped his bag of holding and brought out the information token containing the names of the 12 sects written by Wu Yue.

He displayed the magic engraving in the air, looking at each of the sects one by one. The Qin Kingdom was very vast, and Lin Tian did not know where he should start.

The ability of Absolute Dao Emperor Comprehension could not be used to find out about those sects and where their locations were.

That ability would only work effectively if Lin Tian was studying techniques, formations, pill recipes, and other things related to cultivation.

In short, he had to search by himself for the locations of those 12 sects and determine which among them had stolen the Natural Spiritual Veins of the Lingxian Sect.

"It seems I have to return to a large city and start searching from there," Lin Tian said, placing the information token back into his bag of holding.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Lin Tian flew away from his cultivation cave and headed north. The first large city he would visit was Lanzhou City.

Perhaps he could find sect disciples with red robes there, considering red was widely used as the base color of cultivator sect uniforms, often associated with sects dominant in the fire element.

Lin Tian’s flying speed made it easy for him to arrive at Lanzhou City quickly. There, he saw a line of people waiting to enter the city again.

Many of them were mortal merchants carrying their goods to be sold. As for cultivators, their number was smaller.

Lin Tian landed slowly without releasing spiritual qi.

He raised his hand to chest height, and his fingers began forming a hand seal, activating the cultivation base camouflage technique that returned his cultivation base to Peak Foundation Establishment.

The line entering the city slowly shrank until it was Lin Tian’s turn to stand facing the city guard soldier.

The taboo rule in the cultivation world was that they were not allowed to interfere in mortal affairs. The consequences would be fatal and destructive.

"Are you a cultivator?"

"Yes."

"The entry fee is three low-grade spirit stones," the guard replied.

Lin Tian tapped his bag of holding and gave that amount to him. The guard allowed Lin Tian to enter, while leaving a message for him not to cause trouble.

Together with the mortals, Lin Tian set foot in Lanzhu City again. Its condition was still the same, and the noise of the crowd sounded piercing to the ears.

Ahead, cultivators came and went together with mortals. The colors of their robes were different, marking their status as sect disciples.

Only a few steps after entering, Lin Tian’s sharp eyes caught sight of a cultivator wearing a red sect robe.

It was not the red robe from the sect that had attacked the Lingxian Sect.

She was a woman, walking side by side with her friend. Even though they were not the ones, Lin Tian still had to ask the name of their sect, and perhaps he could learn a lot about red-robed sects from them.

He walked quickly from near the city’s southern gate and approached them. Lin Tian raised his hand and gently tapped the shoulder of one of the two female cultivators.

They were slightly startled and instinctively turned around, taking a few steps back.

"Who?"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I am Lin Tian. I have several questions I would like to ask you. Are you free?" Lin Tian asked politely.

Through Lin Tian’s eyes, he could see that their cultivation bases were still at Foundation Establishment.

They must hold good disciple status in their sect, although they were not inner disciples.

"What kind of questions?"

"Which sect are you from?" Lin Tian asked.

"The... Zhuyan Sect."

The Zhuyan Sect was on the list of the 12 sect names Wu Yue had given him. It was not them.

"How about it? Can we talk for a moment?" Lin Tian asked.

The two women in front of him looked hesitant, exchanging glances with confused expressions. One of them instead felt curious about what Lin Tian wanted to ask.

"Sure. However, we will talk at our sect’s tavern if you do not mind," the woman explained.

"Yes, I have no problem with that."
