Chapter 20: United Pressure
In the Sect Grand Hall, when the Sect Master Luo Changqi heard these words, his lips twitched.
The five major Immortal Sects had united, and he initially thought Li Xiaojun’s situation had been exposed. However, upon hearing those words, he realized that Li Xiaojun’s news had not been leaked.
“Sect Master Sun, where did you hear that our Biyun Xianzong can cultivate top-grade spirit roots in bulk? That’s simply not true,” Luo Changqi quickly denied.
“Luo Sect Master, you don’t need to deny this matter. We have already confirmed it; your Biyun Xianzong has produced more than twenty top-grade spirit roots in over two years, all born from women in your families. If you say you don’t have the method to cultivate top-grade spirit roots in bulk, we won’t believe you.”
“You cultivating so many top-grade spirit roots has severely disrupted the balance between us. If you don’t share the method, we will have no choice but to unite and destroy you…” another sect’s Sect Master spoke up.
Hearing this, Luo Changqi understood that this matter was unlikely to end peacefully.
The united pressure from the five sects forced him to take it seriously.
He hadn’t expected that while Li Xiaojun’s news remained concealed, other sects had deduced their ability to cultivate top-grade spirit roots from the children born within Biyun Xianzong’s major families.
This was only due to their own negligence.
As for how the other sects learned of this, it truly wasn’t an issue.
Since almost every sect had infiltrators in others, the emergence of so many top-grade spirit roots from Biyun Xianzong naturally drew attention which was bound to spread.
Upon realizing that the abundance of top-grade spirit roots from their sect had led to exposure, Luo Changqi felt deep regret.
They had solely focused on protecting the secret about Li Xiaojun.
The children born from the women of each major family, even if they had Yin spirit roots, had only been promoted as top-grade spirit veins to the outside world.
However, they completely overlooked that even top-grade spirit roots were incredibly eye-catching.
Moreover, the sudden increase in so many top-grade spirit roots confirmed suspicions.
If a single family produced one or two top-grade spirit roots, it could perhaps be explained away as luck.
But Biyun Xianzong had suddenly produced twenty or thirty top-grade spirit roots, with nearly every family having two or three; that couldn’t be attributed to luck.
This could only prove that Biyun Xianzong had mastered the method of cultivating top-grade spirit roots in bulk.
This revelation was alarming. If these top-grade spirit roots from Biyun Xianzong were allowed to grow up, it would strike a devastating blow to the surrounding five major Immortal Sects.
So, after some discussion, the major sects decided to pressure Biyun Xianzong together.
If Biyun Xianzong did not yield and disclose the method of cultivating top-grade spirit roots, the five major sects would not let the matter rest easily. They would unite to destroy Biyun Xianzong, at any cost.
After all, allowing Biyun Xianzong’s top-grade spirit roots to grow would mean disaster for them.
Additionally, they were also interested in the method of bulk cultivation of top-grade spirit roots, given the immense benefits involved.
Under the united pressure from the five major Immortal Sects, Luo Changqi ultimately compromised.
He had no choice but to yield.
Refusing to negotiate would lead Biyun Xianzong to a catastrophic fate.
In the end, Luo Changqi revealed the secret about Li Xiaojun.
Hearing that the descendants of Li Xiaojun were all top-grade spirit roots, the other sects couldn’t help but be astonished.
Furthermore, the fact that Li Xiaojun could almost guarantee that women would conceive each time intrigued everyone.
Upon learning of Li Xiaojun’s existence, other sects initially wanted Biyun Xianzong to hand him over, but Biyun Xianzong naturally refused.
In the end, Biyun Xianzong proposed a compromise, which was for the other sects to send women over to have children with Li Xiaojun.
This seemed to be the best solution, because even if they took Li Xiaojun away, the five major Immortal Sects could not monopolize him.
They also couldn’t dismember Li Xiaojun, so eventually, all five major Immortal Sects agreed to Biyun Xianzong’s proposal.
However, each time they used Li Xiaojun, the other Immortal Sects had to arrange for someone to monitor him!
They could not allow a situation where they produced only one top-grade spirit root in a month, while Biyun Xianzong produced several.
With the increased competition from the five major Immortal Sects, the arrangements for Li Xiaojun meant that all six sects would take turns. This way, each sect would have two opportunities each year.
After the five major Immortal Sects intervened, the Ninth Elder of Biyun Xianzong also approached Li Xiaojun, wanting him to change the one-time-a-month schedule to once a day, or every three days, one week, or even every half month.
However, Li Xiaojun rejected all these proposals. He informed the Ninth Elder that he needed to rest for a month after each task; otherwise, the quality of the offspring might decline.
If he wanted to have children with lower-grade spirit roots, he could do that every day.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s explanation, everyone abandoned the idea of making him a breeding stallion every day.
Of course, Li Xiaojun was unaware of the circumstances concerning the five major Immortal Sects; Biyun Xianzong simply had the Ninth Elder ask him if it was possible to shorten the task time.
Li Xiaojun didn’t know that, starting from a certain day, the women he had relations with were no longer from Biyun Xianzong.
He simply completed his tasks faithfully each month.
What puzzled him was why, in the following months, the women arranged by the Immortal Sects were merely ordinary people, which hindered him from collecting more spirit stones.
One day, after having relations with a beautiful woman, he curiously asked, “Doesn’t your family want offspring with better talent?”
“What do you mean?” The woman asked, surprised by Li Xiaojun’s words.
“Don’t you know?”
“What do I not know?”
“You don’t know that if you have spirit roots, you can give birth to better offspring?”
“I don’t know!”
“Didn’t anyone from your family tell you?”
“No.” The woman shook her head and then asked, “What did you mean by that?”
“It’s like this…”
Then, Li Xiaojun explained the situation to her.
Soon, the woman, astonished, asked Li Xiaojun, “Are you saying that the offspring of women with top-grade spirit roots are Yin spirit roots?”
“Yes,” Li Xiaojun nodded.
The woman was left speechless for a long time after hearing what Li Xiaojun said.
Afterward, Li Xiaojun had He Qingqing take him back.
Indeed, since three months ago, He Qingqing had become Li Xiaojun’s partner again.
Immediately after Li Xiaojun left, the woman in the cave returned home.
However, she took back a shocking secret.
“What? The offspring of women with top-grade spirit roots can be children with Yin spirit roots?”
“Damn it, this Biyun Xianzong is not being honest!”
“We must demand an explanation from Biyun Xianzong.”
A few days later, the five major Immortal Sects once again approached Biyun Xianzong together.
