Xue Bing looked at Wu Long, her eyes still calm and cold, but a glint present that was not there before.
"Do you know how I can control my physique?"
"Not exactly, I only know it is possible with better control over your Yin Qi"
Wu Long shook his head as he admittedly knew less about her particular type of physique than about Shen Min's. And even in the case of Shen Min, he only helped her learn to manipulate her Yin Qi, while control over her physique was something she mastered herself intuitively after that.
"Yin Qi... "
The beauty nodded with understanding, her voice thoughtful.
"Haa~, Bing'er has already reported toher findings, so I know who they are"
Qiu Yilao seemed to have finally processed the decision, coming to terms with what had to be done.
"In that case it is much easier to group your people in a way to protect everyone"
Wu Long smiled, turning back to her.
"That is true, though I thought of wiping out the traitors..."
"You don't need to completely abandon that aspiration, you know? There will be a decisive battle, just not now. Moreover, if after this ordeal you do accept my proposal and the majority of your remaining sect members do as well, you would be able to completely crush them when the tcomes"
"You are awfully confident about your proposal"
"Heh"
Wu Long stopped circulating the Origin Concealing Technique, revealing his cultivation base at the Foundation Building Realm which made both the Master and Disciple slightly widen their eyes.
His realm being different was not as much a shock as how well it was hidden as even Qiu Yilao who was in the Core Reformation Realm did not feel the smallest hint of something being amiss.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How is...?"
"A good cultivation base concealing technique. But that is not the important part.
My sect's PrDisciple, Hua Ziyan, is actually not in the Foundation Building Realm which already surprised you, but in the 4th level of Core Formation Realm"
He lightly explained, causing Qiu Yilao to express shock and even Xue Bing to have a tinge of surprise color her expression.
Even if she was the PrDisciple, for such a small sect as the Yin Yang Unity Palace, having a disciple reach Foundation Realm was already a miraculous achievement, noted by everyone during the meeting in this hall before, even though it was not mentioned out loud.
Xue Bing, a PrDisciple of one of the Five Great Sects was in that realm, and she was only in the 3rd level, the slevel Hua Ziyan displayed outwardly.
She was also hailed as a genius, and even she was only able to achieve this realm due to the recent improvements in the Spiritual Qi.
But a disciple in their twenties reaching Core Formation Realm was in the territory of bedtstories. It was a completely different league.
Not to mention that 4th level meant that she has already passed the first bottleneck of the Major Realm, which meant that she was well on her way to the next Major Realm.
However, since it was a simply disprovable information, they knew the possibility he was lying was infinitely close to zero.
"She was in the early Qi Manifestation Realm a bit less than a year and a half ago when we started cultivating"
Wu Long added the cherry on top which caused both to lightly gasp, sucking in a breath of cold air.
"That's impossible!"
Qiu Yilao outright shook her head as this was getting ridiculous.
"Master..."
Xue Bing shook her head next to the rattled Palace Master who widened her eyes as she understood that Xue Bing did not detect any lies in Wu Long's statement.
"It is something you can also check since her status as PrDisciple was updated by the various small tinformation brokers, though the biggest one has disappeared.
What's more, all of my women have achieved Foundation Building or Core Formation Realm. This would be apparent when you meet them later on"
Wu Long shrugged his shoulders.
"But... how?"Qiu Yilao expressed her disbelief in a weak voice, but seeing Wu Long's expression turn into a smile that gave her the answer, reddened her cheeks and turned to look to the side.
"I told you, the benefits your sect's members would gain from the arrangement will be far more than simple alleviation of symptoms of faulty techniques. Not to mention that you will also get access to quality techniques like the one I use to conceal my cultivation base"
Wu Long did not desire to push the Frozen Garden Palace into accepting the proposal against their will or with underhanded means, but he did not refrain from advertising the benefits of it which was fair.
"Haa~, I understand, I will speak with the Grand Elders and Elders when this ordeal is over.
But first, we need to decide where to retreat if we are going to abandon our sect..."
Qiu Yilao sighed as she could not deny how attractive his proposal got while he once more activated the Origin Concealing Technique.
"Oh, that is something I can help with as well. You might have heard but we have recently lost a significant number of Elders and Sect Protectors, as well as not a small one of disciples, so the Yin Yang Unity Palace at the moment is more of an empty shell with only a third of its former members.
We have plenty of space, and since your Sect is not that large in numbers to begin with, and you will also be shedding snumbers, we can provide ample space"
'Haha, I guess I'll hear an earful from Zhiqiu for deciding this one on my own again'
Wu Long chuckled as a thought went through his mind while he spoke. He did not have a confirmation that the other side would move until after he arrived in the Frozen Garden Palace, so naturally he did not have the opportunity to discuss the relocation of this sect's members to the Yin Yang Unity Palace with Lian Zhiqiu.
Qiu Yilao raised her eyebrow, but seeing logic in moving there, as they were going to build an alliance whether they accepted his further proposal or not, did not object to that offer, only uttering "If it is indeed convenient for the Yin Yang Unity Palace, then we will impose on you. Thank you, Daoist Wu".

Wu Long followed a Sect Retainer who showed him the way to his lodgings with a light stride a few hours later.
He did not need the help in finding his way as he could sense Hua Ziyan's location through their bond but he did not see a reason to refuse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRecently, the bonds between him and his women grew stronger to the point of feeling each other's presence and general condition even now when they were so far apart in different parts of the continent.
He also felt like he was on the verge of comprehending something about the Dual Extremes Infinite Union Art during his enlightenment, but it slipped away at the last moment.
As he was pondering this he felt Hua Ziyan's mood change, and looking into her direction from which he already was not too far chuckled as he shook his head.
"Thank you, I will go on my own from here"
He gave a smile to the Sect Retainer who lightly blushed as she was throwing gazes at him from tto twhile they walked. His figure then disappeared after he stepped forward, as if a ghost.

"I have already told you, we have no intention of comparing notes"
A disciple of the Yin Yang Unity Palace spoke to a man in robes of one of the other numerous guest sects.
"Hah! That's just cowardice!"
"Call it whatever you want. We have no interest in extending this conversation. Please leave"
"And what if we don't?"
The man mocked as a dozen young men and women behind him started laughing.
"Then we might ask for you to leave in a less polite way"
A beautiful voice resounded behind the disciple of the Yin Yang Unity Palace, as the man's eyes had a glint appear while reflecting a heavenly beauty with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"Phew~, damn. Why didn't anyone tellthat there was a woman like that in this pervert sect. And you guys were ogling the other girls?"
The man lightly whistled and proceeded to speak salivating at the sight he was seeing, turning to the others at the end to mock their choice.
"Damn! We only saw that other girl before! How were we supposed to know there's such a babe in there?"
"Hah! Well, bad luck for you then, cause she's taken now"
The young man chuckled at the dissatisfied groans as he turned back to see the eyes of the disciple he was speaking to before filling with pity.
