Chapter 16 One month has passed
A dozen or so outer sect elders dressed in the same attire were also sitting in the main hall.
Among them were both men and women, all of whom were high-ranking officials in charge of the outer sect affairs of the Misty Sect.
Their expressions were similar to Lu Danian's, but more so strange and embarrassed.
The whole outer mountain is buzzing with the news now; their disciples had already reported it to them.
An elderly man couldn't help but speak first: "Well... Elder Lu... you're close to Elder Xu, why don't you go and ask Elder Xu for instructions and find out the truth?"
"If it's just a rumor, we can act quickly and tell our subordinates not to spread it..."
"After all, Elder Xu is highly respected in our sect. If such rumors are not stopped, they may have a significant impact on our Misty Sect and Elder Xu."
The outer sect elders didn't believe it from the bottom of their hearts.
Xu Xiao is a senior and high-ranking official.
For a thousand years, there has been virtually no stain on the sect.
Now, is it true that Elder Xu, who is about to die, had an improper relationship with those young female disciples from the outer sect?
He is also suspected of using cultivation resources to support female disciples?
They simply couldn't believe such a thing could happen to the highly respected Elder Xu.
Elder Xu is almost old and dying. Even if he has the will, does he have the strength?
I don't believe it, no matter how much you tell me!
Lu Danian looked at the group of high-ranking outer sect elders around him, and his expression became somewhat awkward again.
He had witnessed his senior uncle's actions firsthand; it was truly inexplicable that he had given gifts to the beautiful female cultivator...
He's keeping a female disciple as a mistress... this can't be hidden anymore...
"Elders!"
Lu Danian said solemnly, "I think we don't need to ask Uncle Xu about this matter. Uncle Xu doesn't have much time left, and he's all alone in our outer mountain."
"Do you really want to disturb our esteemed Senior Uncle Xu with such foolish matters? How absurd!"
The dozen or so elders from the outer sect frowned and nodded silently.
Indeed, this is too absurd; they themselves are too embarrassed to ask Elder Xu.
Lu Danian continued righteously, "Besides, Senior Uncle Xu is old and has difficulty moving around. He has several female disciples he likes. What's wrong with giving them some things?"
"My senior master has lived a life of hardship, and now he has failed his tribulation. Is it not even possible for him to take in a few female disciples to help him in his old age?"
"Elders, these rumors flying around the outer sect must be stopped immediately. Please go back and warn your disciples not to say anything more!"
After Lu Danian finished speaking...
The elders around him initially nodded in agreement, but upon closer reflection, they all looked at Lu Danian with expressions of shock.
What are you saying, Elder Lu?!
Judging from the other party's tone, could it be that Elder Xu really has been in contact with one of his female disciples?!
The elders' expressions gradually turned strange, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They couldn't believe that Elder Xu would do such a thing!
impossible!
Lu Danian sensed the strangeness of the elders around him and said somewhat awkwardly, "The sect leader had previously told me that he would find a Daoist partner for Uncle Xu in a while, so that Uncle Xu could live out his days in the sect in peace and leave behind offspring."
"Everyone, before Elder Xu's Daoist partner enters the sect, we outer disciples must stop these rumors!"
"We must not let these rumors affect Master Xu's connection with his teacher. I'll have to trouble you all."
This bombshell dropped a shocking bombshell, leaving the surrounding elders utterly stunned.
Daoist partners?
Elder Xu is almost at the end of his life, and he still wants to find a Daoist partner to have offspring?!
Shocked, even terrified.
The expressions on the faces of these outer sect elders were incredibly interesting, yet no one stepped forward to refute them.
Elder Lu means the sect leader.
What can they possibly say?
Even if they still don't believe it, they're starting to have some doubts now.
Could it be that Elder Xu, in his twilight years, has suddenly become interested in women?
So magical!
So weird!
On the surface, the elders didn't say much, but all expressed their agreement.
Regardless of whether Elder Xu is truly keeping a female disciple as a mistress, at the very least, this rumor must not be spread.
The scandal involving being kept by a sugar daddy needs to be suppressed as soon as possible...
......
Over the next month, the outer sect began to focus on regulating the disciples' speech, strictly prohibiting them from discussing rumors about Xu Xiao in public.
At least on the surface, these outer disciples were somewhat intimidated and all kept quiet.
During this period, Xu Xiao began to cultivate using both high-grade spirit stones and Foundation Establishment Pills.
With a two-pronged approach, his cultivation reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.
Three high-grade spirit stones and ten Foundation Establishment Pills were used.
He advanced two realms in a month, and his cultivation speed stabilized.
Even at its steady pace, it's still a speed that cultivators can only dream of.
Not everyone at the Foundation Establishment stage has an almost inexhaustible supply of high-grade spirit stones and Foundation Establishment pills.
Jin Liuxiang came to see him twice during this period.
Xu Xiao gifted the other party twenty Foundation Establishment Pills within a reasonable scope and returned forty Core Formation Pills, which were used by Core Formation cultivators, resulting in a win-win situation.
Jin Liuxiang, under Xu Xiao's patronage, also reached the third level of Foundation Establishment.
As for Lin Yan'er, I haven't seen her for a month; she should still be in seclusion breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Breaking through to a higher realm is quite difficult; some people spend half a year or even a year in seclusion, let alone a month.
That evening, the Golden Willow Fragrance Foundation Building Pill was about to run out.
After dressing up in her fragrant room, she was in a good mood and quietly walked towards Xu Xiao's villa.
With an unlimited supply of Foundation Establishment Pills, her cultivation level improved rapidly.
Jin Liuxiang now felt that the deal with Elder Xu was incredibly worthwhile!
Initially, the outer disciples had some reservations about her, but they all shut up later and looked at her with awe.
Even some of the female disciples looked at her with extreme envy.
Not only did she receive tangible benefits, but her vanity was also greatly satisfied.
Even if Xu Xiao publicly acknowledges their relationship now, she won't refuse; in fact, she'll be looking forward to it.
Elder Xu is the real big shot she wants to get close to!
The thought of her master, Zhou Xiao, made Jin Liuxiang feel inexplicably nauseous.
She didn't even want to see him for a month.
Just after Jin Liuxiang left the accommodation area and headed towards Xu Xiao's villa.
A young man quietly appeared not far behind her.
"Junior Sister Jin... she went to see Elder Xu again! How many times has this happened?! It's outrageous! What's so good about that old man who's on his deathbed?!"
The young man was furious at the sight of the other woman's swaying and alluring figure!
The thought of his junior sister made him tremble with rage, almost to the point of vomiting blood!
"Junior sisters, this time Master will never let you off!"
"You adulterous couple!!"
