--- Chapter 175 ---
Baek Ain and others followed Xuan Yi to the Pill Tower.
As they approached the massive tower, several people caught a glimpse of their appearances. These people wondered what identities they had to get the Association Head of Pill Tower to escort them.
Some guessed wrongly.
Some guessed solemnly.
Some somehow despised them and made rude comments internally.
Ah, a group of ignorant fools.
Baek Ain didn't mind the gazes, but his disciples were different.
They are proud ladies and heiresses of Ancient Clans!
Not to mention, they are protective of their handsome teacher.
'You're not worthy to see my teacher!' Yao Ling'er snorted and released a wisp of Icy River Flame, creating a mist around them.
Huo Zhi leaked a sliver of her cultivation base, causing the surrounding area to tremble. Although it was just a tiny amount, the effect is effective against these small fries.
She's originally 6-Star Dou Venerate. However, Baek Ain's Training and Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill pushed her to the peak stage of Dou Venerate Realm in just a month.
The only thing Huo Zhi lacks is a chance.
Yes, a chance to step into a Half-Saint Realm.
Gu Xun'er silently stared at her senior sisters and glanced down as her eyes glowed with a dim golden light. She was about to do something when Baek Ain's voice suddenly brushed her ears and others.
"You three, stop."
"Let them be."
"Don't lower your level too low."
"We'll listen to the teacher's arrangements." Yao Ling'er, Huo Zhi, and Gu Xun'er nodded.
Baek Ain shook his head helplessly, thinking how bizarre this cultivation world was. These people knew nothing about his identity but dared to think bad things in their hearts.
[Has eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai!] Alicia commented indifferently.
"..." Baek Ain blinked his eyes.
'Stop it, that's cringe.'
[No, you're cringe, Host] Alicia countered immediately.
[Ah, look... I'm such a dignified teacher~!]
Baek Ain's expression froze awkwardly. He actually didn't expect this plan to grow in such a weird direction.
After all, Baek Ain originally planned to conquer Ancient Clans and check some places, then return to the Behemoth Paradise.
Accepting disciples can be considered a side quest as they could help him manage a few things later.
[*Squint eyes* Host, are you perhaps having a disciple fe...] Alicia suddenly asked. Still, Baek Ain muted her before she could finish her sentence.
Phew, safe.
"Finally, some peace." Baek Ain sighed inside, focusing his attention on Xuan Yi.
He used [King of Parasite] and added a portion of new parasites into Xuan Yi's body, allowing her to gain consciousness. A mindless puppet is awful as they couldn't think, turning Xuan Yi's talent to waste because she was 9th Tier Alchemist.
'Master, thank you for giving my consciousness back.' Xuan Yi sends a voice transmission to Baek Ain. Her voice is "actually." filled with regard and loyalty.
The [King of Parasite] is such a good skill.
After flying for four more minutes, they finally arrived at the Pill Tower.
Xuan Yi heaved a sigh of relief when entering the Pill Tower, leading them to a spacious room. It was a room for them to stay.
"Grandmaster Lin, please stay in this room for the meantime." She said while activating the array to light up the room.
"Mm, not a bad place." Baek Ain commented casually. The room Xuan Yi provided is three times bigger compared to the presidential suite in his previous life.
It also has separate quarters, bathrooms, cultivation space, alchemy room, etc.
"Ling'er, Zhi'er, and Xun'er. You three stay here and train well." Baek Ain said with a smile. "I'll go somewhere for a day or two."
"But don't stay too late. It's not good for your health and skin."
"Oh, if you get bored... You can go out and play, but return before 9 P.M."
'Hubby, you sound like their father for some reason.' Qing Lin stared at the man of her life with an amused expression.
After that, Xuan Yi led them to another area of the Pill Tower.
"Xuan Yi, where are Lan Rou and Yi Xian?" He asked curiously.
Xuan Yi had a bitter smile when hearing Baek Ain's question. She opened her luscious mouth and answered, "The mistresses are in the Pill Realm."
"Pill Realm?" Qing Lin tilted her head slightly. It was the first time she heard of such a place.
Of course, this world is too big. Qing Lin is still young, so it's normal for her not to know something like this.
"Pill Realm is a strange place." Xuan Yi explained.
"You could also think of it like a Secret Realm created and left behind by Dou Saint Expert. After qualifying, one could enter and discover countless treasures there."
"It's just that..." A helpless expression formed on Xuan Yi's beautiful face.
"The Pill Realm is ruined, right?" Baek Ain said lightly.
"Exactly, and we don't know the reason." Xuan Yi nodded her head slowly.
Baek Ain shook his head and added, "Since you are just 9-Star Dou Venerate, you must have a misconception about the Dou Saint Realm."
Xuan Yi bit her lips, "Please, enlighten me, master."
"Dou Saint is indeed the current peak of this world."
"They are powerful and could manipulate nature and space at will."
"However, even the most powerful Dou Saint couldn't fight against time..."
"Their creation is also the same."
"The Pill Realm's problem is precisely that. It stays for too long and erodes by the passage of time." Baek Ain closed his eyes. "And from what I know, the Pill Realm hasn't gotten maintained for a long time."
Xuan Yi was shocked. To think Baek Ain could find the source of the problem this easily.
At this very moment, a sense of respect different from the innate feelings of parasites genuinely grew in Xuan Yi's heart.
Baek Ain waved his hand and continued, "Don't worry much about the Pill Realm. I'll fix it later."
"Thank you, Master!" Xuan Yi excitedly bowed.
Pill Realm is one of Pill Tower's sacred domains. They couldn't afford to lose it.
They went to the underground with a teleportation array, and Baek Ain was "quickly." greeted by a swirling wormhole.
"The Pill Realm was beyond this wormhole." Xuan Yi said while stepping into the wormhole.
"Let's go, Master."
"Mhm." Baek Ain grasped Qing Lin's soft hand and pulled her in.
...
Baek Ain opened his mouth slowly, seeing the scenery of an ancient city surrounded by forest and rocky mountains.
"Space Creation, huh?" Baek Ain pondered to himself.
"Maybe I should solidify the skills I tested two months back."
A while ago at the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe, Baek Ain comprehended a deeper understanding of Spatial Strength.
Baek Ain suddenly smiled and sensed a familiar presence not far away.
He glanced at the south and saw a silver flash approaching them rapidly like a shooting star.
Opening his arm, Baek Ain laughed and waited patiently.
"AAAAIIIINNN!" Someone tackled Baek Ain down and hugged him tightly.
It was none other than Lan Rou.
After parting away for a few months, Lan Rou has become more refined as she recovered her cultivation to Half-Saint Realm. Her silky silver hair waved gently, and a sweet scent tickled Baek Ain's nostrils.
"I miss you..." Lan Rou whispered while leaning on his chest.
"What takes you so long?" She pouted at him.
Faced with such adorableness, Baek Ain melted and rubbed Lan Rou's head affectionately.
"Rou, I miss you too." He replied, kissing her forehead.
"Mmn~!"
