บท 64: Reward Ceremony
Chapter 64 – Reward Ceremony
While the upper echelons were scheming and plotting behind the scenes, commoners, small noble clans, and many families grieved for their losses.
Out of 1,500 participants, only 700 returned alive. The rest of them stayed in the monster realm forever.
This was the cruel nature of this exam. They sent their children or descendants there to risk their lives, so the other family members could live a better life. Unfortunately, they lost the gamble.
Several families glared at the murderers of their children. Some of the murderers also died to monster beasts or other killers, but the majority of them were in the group of survivors.
One of the wicked murderers, Wei Feng, also attracted a lot of heat from the spectators since he led his fellow disciples to kill many test-takers. Many families of the dead victims wanted to curse at this young master out loud, but they were afraid of Wei Huang's influence.
Because of the hatred, all Wei members also received the death glares from the victim families. Wei Yuan and Wei Huang's fame and reputation drastically dropped after the event.
Not only Wei Clan's name and reputation were ruined during the event, but Xu Miao also had done a fair share of the killing spree.
The Yu household also lost their representative and a few men to Xu Miao. Although Yu Lin was the one who provoked Xu Miao first, the Yu family didn't think that their young master deserved to die a cruel death.
Standing on a tall make-shift stand was a middle-aged big belly man with a round jiggling face. His decorated golden robe was embedded with jewelry and various high-grade magic artifacts, which stood out from the rest of the crowd. The fat man was fumed with rage as he was glaring at Xu Miao.
He was Yu Shun, the father of Yu Lin.
Yu Shun didn't have a cultivation background, but he was the wealthiest man from a neighbor province, the Sky Duck Province. Because of Yu Shun's social network and money, he was in command of a force that rivaled a small sect. Many 3rd stage and 4th stage cultivators served under the Yu family, and there were countless of 2nd stage bodyguards and soldiers.
Due to the lack of a 5th stage or 6th stage cultivator's present, the Yu Clan couldn't expand or compete against the local organizations in the Sky Duck Province. As such, the Yu family sent Yu Lin here, hoping to expand their businesses in this city and establish a connection with the mountain goose sect. Yu Shun even hired over a thousand young bodyguards to take the test along with Yu Lin, hoping to infiltrate the sect and increase his influence there.
Unfortunately, Xu Miao ruined their long-term plan. He killed Yu Lin in cold blood.
"Can somebody tell me who that bastard Xu Miao is!?" Yu Shun yelled at his subordinates.
A 4th stage cultivator, one of Yu Shun's mercenary leaders stepped forward and whispered to his master, "My lord, Xu Miao is Xu Xiuying's son. He's also one of the top outer disciples of silver phoenix sect."
"Silver Phoenix Sect? That whore-only sect!? Blasphemy! How dare they bully us!? Gather our forces! We will destroy the silver-whatever-sect and turn them into my sex slaves!"
"My lord, we can't offend this sect. Our intel said that they are housing nine 5th-stage elders and two 6th-stage masters. Their core disciples' strength is also at least at the 4th stage. Our organization is no match against them."
"You… You all are fucking useless!"
Yu Shun gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Miao. If a look could kill, he could have killed Xu Miao a million times already.
"We'll return to Sky Duck City! Tell all our men to forfeit their rights to join MG sect and return!"
The fat merchant gave up avenging for his son for now. However, he planned to gather more forces and come back to this city later.
'I'll visit the capital and report this to the royal family! Let's see if you can handle the royal army!'
…
The commotion died down after the fat merchant retreated from the city along with his men. Many families also stopped camping here since they were not in the right mood after losing their family members.
Most of the constructions here were demolished and cleaned. Smart cultivators brought foldable towers and stands, so they didn't have a problem cleaning their places before they left.
Many rude cultivators left their trashes here. Empty glass bottles, broken chairs, and stinky clothes remained on the ground. However, the trashes were swiftly cleaned by MG sect disciples, who had been summoned by Jian Meng to work here.
The remaining spectators were the parents and family members of the successful candidates. After getting through 3 tests, all candidates could be considered as official disciples now. The rest would depend on Xu Xiuying and Jia Shan, who would draft these successful candidates to their sects.
Aside from outer disciples, 400 successful candidates remained on the stage. The rest of them forfeited as they worked for Yu Shun.
"All female candidates who wish to join silver phoenix sect, gather at the east wing. Go to the two elders and report your name, your final score, and your cultivation strength!"
Xu Xiuying started drafting for potential disciples. Although the male and female candidate ratio was 10 to 1, obtaining 40 disciples were already profitable for her.
Meanwhile, Jian Meng helped his sect master organizing the male disciples.
"Gather on the west side! Report your test score, your cultivation strength, and your name to me and the elders over there. You've passed the tests, and you're now official members of our sect!"
The remaining male candidates cheered and gathered at the west side of the stage. Even though some of them wanted to join the silver phoenix sect, none of them would be accepted because it was a female-only organization. Some of them also glared at Xu Miao in envy, hoping that he exploded and died.
The registration process and the welcome ceremony was quiet and peaceful. All successful candidates received several raw spirit stones as welcome gifts and their ranking rewards.
After receiving spirit stones, the new disciples returned to their family members to celebrate as their lives would change forever. Some of them didn't even have a cultivation background, so they cried the tears of joy when their children became a potential immortal. Even if they couldn't be successful cultivators, the raw spirit stones could be sold for gold coins, and their families wouldn't be in poverty anymore.
The heartwarming scenes contrasted the earlier grieving and angry commotion. The strong and the talented ascended to heaven while the weak faced hell. This was the cruel fate of this cultivation world.
When all candidates got their prizes, it was time for top elites to obtain theirs.
Kang Yan, Wei Feng, Wei Yuan, and Xie Tian received refined spirit stones and spatial rings, which contained rare pills and other hidden prizes that Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying personally rewarded them in secret.
As for Xu Miao, the first place, his reward was different.
"Xu Miao, step forward!"
Instead of Xu Xiuying, Jia Shan was the one giving Xu Miao the prize as the latter contributed a lot for the mountain goose sect.
"Xu Miao. You've demonstrated your talent, intelligence, and combat prowess worthy to be called the top elite of silver phoenix sect. You didn't even hesitate when you contributed two precious weapons for us. Considering your contribution, it won't be fair for you if we only give you a low-grade weapon and refined stones as rewards."
Jia Shan smiled as he summoned a golden manual from his spatial ring. He also allocated a few things from his ring to a Xu Miao's deposited ring, which the latter had entrusted to the organizers before he went to the monster realm.
"This is a copy of mountain goose sect's core technique, Goose Tongue. By cultivating this technique, you can use the heavenly goose's language, and you can turn your words into power!"
Mountain Goose's inner disciples and Wei Xiang were shocked that Jia Shan gave Xu Miao a core technique.
Normally, core techniques were considered as a sect's secret. No one without authorization could learn these skills but their core disciples or trusted disciples.
Yet, Jia Shan gave one of his sect's secrets to an outsider. The preferential treatment indicated that Jia Shan might be trying to poach Xu Miao to his sect.
Even Xu Xiuying was surprised. Though obtaining a core technique from her rival sect might benefit the silver phoenix sect, the threat of losing Xu Miao to Jia Shan made Xu Xiuying paranoid.
Not wanting to let Xu Miao slip away to other organizations, Xu Xiuying also walked toward her adopted son. She hesitated for a moment before she brought out a red vial and shoved it in Xu Miao's hands.
"Xu Miao. You've done well attaining the first rank and uphold our sect's prestige. For your contribution, I give you a supreme medicine ingredient, Succubus Blood Essence!"
All elders and masters turned to Xu Xiuying in shock as they knew what this [Succubus Blood Essence] could be used for. Even Jia Shan couldn't believe his ears.
On the other hand, Wei Huang's face distorted in disgust as he knew where this blood was extracted from, and he knew the real name of this so-called "Blood Essence".
But for Xu Miao, who was clueless about Xu Xiuying's real identity, he was curious how useful a vial of succubus blood could do.
"Mother, how do I use this blood, and what effect does it give?"
Xu Xiuying coughed in embarrassment, "If you consume it raw, it will boost your immunity against soul attack and mind attack. If you consume a thousand drops, you will be immune to all such attacks. If a master alchemist refines it into a pill and you consume it, you can maintain your youthful handsome body forever."
In other words, succubus blood essence was an otherworldly ingredient that could give a cultivator a permanent youthful body and immunity against sophisticated soul attacks and mind attacks.
"T-T-Too OP! Mother, are you sure? Isn't this valuable!?"
Xu Miao was moved. He couldn't believe that Xu Xiuying would give this to him when she was planning to brainwash him. If he had mental immunity to the brainwashing effect, continue living in the whore house wouldn't be a bad idea anymore.
Xu Xiuying scoffed, "This is nothing! As a mother, I want the best for my son! I don't want my son to be seduced by an uncult swine!"
Those words were directed at Jia Shan, who offended her first.
Jia Shan and all elders from the mountain goose sect sighed in pity. It would be nice if they could poach Xu Miao from Xu Xiuying here, but the latter went all-in and tempted her son with rare blood of a demoness. They had no choice but to give up on him.
But the surprise and shock fest had not ended yet.
Xu Miao stirred the blood inside the vial and stared at the content. There were about 5ml of thick red blood in there.
Without hesitation, Xu Miao poured all blood in the vial into his mouth.

Try to guess where the blood came from :E
By the way, we have so many new readers after a few days of being on front page recommendation. I welcome all cultured men and women (If any) to this pervert story.
บท 65: Succubus Blood Essence and Xie Tian's Departure
Chapter 65 – Succubus Blood Essence and Xie Tian's Departure
Xu Xiuying had a wry smile on her face. She was disgusted by Xu Miao's action as she didn't think that her adopted son would consume it on the spot.
Meanwhile, Wei Huang, who was aware of the essence's production process and its real source, had to cover his mouth. He almost vomited when Xu Miao drank it. The elder glanced at Xu Miao in admiration for his courage and ignorance.
As for those who didn't know about what the REAL Succubus Blood Essence was, they looked at Xu Miao in envy. Having an immunity against mind attacks was better than obtaining a high-grade weapon as it stayed with the cultivator until he died.

***************************************
.
As soon as Xu Miao swallowed all the blood, the system spammed several messages in front of him. But when he realized the truth of what he had just drunk, he almost vomited.
*COUGH* *COUGH*
Xu Miao wanted to shove his finger into his throat and throw out what he had drunk. It was disgusting to the point that tears dropped from his eyes.
The remnant qi, essence, and demonic essence were helpful, but it couldn't change the fact that the blood came from Xu Xiuying's THAT area.
"Y-YOU!!"
Xu Miao wanted to yell at Xu Xiuying out loud that she tricked him, but he couldn't explain how he learned about the item's source.
'A succubus is a demoness, right? Succubus Blood Essence is Xu Xiuying's blood, so this fucking bitch is definitely a demon! That's great, VERY FUCKING GREAT! My new wife is an oni, and my foster mother is a fucking succubus! Hell, I won't be surprised if a random old man shows up and claim that he's a fucking demon lord!'
Xu Miao had just learned too much information from the system. He just got himself another trauma because of Xu Xiuying. Moreover, the new quest wanted him to drink more of her blood to get the incubus bloodline.
An incubus was a counterpart of a succubus. In myths and legends, these demons had intercourse with sleeping women to drain their life essence. Victims usually suffered from health deterioration or death. Some might bear children of these demons.
Xu Miao wasn't into Christian myths in his previous world, but he knew that incubi had something to do with sex. He wasn't fond of growing into something weird since he was already perverted enough.
After drinking the blood, Xu Miao covered his mouth and bowed to both Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying. Then, he excused himself, pretending that he needed rest.
…
The brief reward ceremony was over, but the main event had just begun. The three rounds of exams were just appetizers for what was about to happen.
Inner disciples from the silver phoenix sect and mountain goose sect started warming up. They relaxed their joints and stretched their muscle, preparing for the extra round of exams.
The next trial would focus on them. All successful candidates could try their luck by challenging an inner disciple in a 1-on-1 duel. If a candidate could win or impress the sect elders, that test-takers could be promoted into an inner disciple right away.
At the same time, outer disciples could use this opportunity to challenge their seniors. If an outer disciple could defeat one of them, the victor could be promoted as well.
This rules seemed flawed as inner disciples could throw the matches and give these test-takers a favor. However, Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying were aware of such a loophole.
Thus, they warned their inner disciples that if they were to lose, the loser would be demoted to an outer disciple.
The penalty was simple, but it was effective. No inner disciple wanted to lose to anyone.
Also, there was an additional rule. Inner disciples could also challenge a promising test-takers, aka top 10 rankers on the leaderboard. They could demonstrate their prowess and teach these kick-starters a lesson not to look down on their seniors.
The fourth trial round was safer than the previous rounds. As they were now fellow disciples and colleagues, all elders would monitor the duels closely. They would stop the match when someone's life would be at risk.
Still, death occasionally occurred during this round. Many inner disciples always used this test to eliminate their rivals or enemies. Sometimes, fellow inner disciples challenged each other into a deathmatch.
Jian Meng finished explaining the rules of the fourth round. Many spectators got excited to see the power of the top inner disciples, who would become powerful individuals in the future.
"All silver phoenix's inner disciples are early 4th stage elites, but their Qi volume is always superior to mountain goose's inner disciples at the same rank. I wonder which disciple is the strongest."
"That is obviously either Wei Xiang or Xiang Zhenzhen!"
"But I heard Xiang Zhenzhen has already become Xu Xiuying's legacy disciple. She isn't here this year."
"Then, Wei Xiang should dominate this show. He's level 10 4th-stage master. He is as strong as top elders from small noble clans!"
Speculations went on as the crowd was waiting to see the inner disciples' skills.
…
On the silver phoenix VIP stand, Xie Tian, Kang Yan, and Xu Miao regrouped and waited for Qi Hong and Qi Ning's instructions. While they were waiting, everybody shared their adventure stories.
Kang Yan and the 8 outer disciples laughed and cheered as they retold their stories and their encounters. Some of them flocked around Xie Tian as they were indebted to him.
"Brother Xie, you're so cool when you fought those bastards. How did you get that treasure sword?"
"Junior Xie, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Tell us where you found that flame sword!"
"Where did you learn your dragon fire technique? Can you teach me?"
Xu Miao's face twitched in disgust when he saw how these women were seducing Xie Tian. He got more annoyed when Kang Yan's face blushed as she kept glancing at the protagonist.
'As expected of a protagonist, this bastard is a chick magnet. Also, Kang Yan, you slut! You're supposed to be my pet! Why are you blushing and looking at him!?'
Xu Miao made up his mind. Once he returned, he would teach Kang Yan a lesson. But for now, Xu Miao planned to manipulate Xie Tian into making more enemies, so he could acquire more allies to kill this protagonist.
Before Xu Miao could say anything, Qi Hong walked toward Xie Tian and slapped his face.
*PA*
Everybody stopped talking. They looked at Qi Hong in shock.
Qi Hong didn't say anything to Xie Tian, but she turned to Xu Miao, "I'm sorry, young master Xu. Due to our political issue, your mother has ordered me to expel Xie Tian from the Xu Clan."
"WHAT!?"
The girls were shocked. They couldn't believe that Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying would dismiss Xie Tian out of the blue.
"Elder Qi, why!?" Kang Yan protested. She looked highly of Xie Tian as he seemed to be a trustworthy guy. She and her friends were also indebted to him, so she disapproved of the dismissal.
Qi Hong glared at the girls, "Because of your incompetence, Xie Tian had to save you and killed those bastards! We ended up offending the mountain goose sect and many noble families. Do you know that Wei Huang almost started a clan war with us!?"
"W-What?"
"If we keep Xie Tian with us, those families will think that we were trying to sabotage the mountain goose sect, and they would band together and wage war against our sect! We can't keep this troublemaker anymore, especially when he almost killed Wei Feng! Now, the Wei Clan is targeting us!"
"…"
Xu Miao was observing the drama from the sideline. When he heard that Xie Tian killed several mountain goose disciples, he was surprised and rejoiced.
'Muahahaha! Moron! Who asked you to save them? A busy-body like you is nothing but a troublemaker! Thank you for offending the Wei Clan. You've saved me a lot of trouble. Heck, I wouldn't have had to deal with Wei Yuan had you killed them earlier!'
While Xu Miao was grinning from ear to ear, Xie Tian didn't notice the former's expression. He gazed at the girls and gave them an apologetic smile before he turned to Qi Hong.
Xie Tian cupped his fist, "I understand. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will excuse myself and leave the Xu Clan. You don't have to worry about the consequences of what I did. I'll take full responsibility for my actions!"
"No! Junior Xie, I-" Kang Yan still wanted Xie Tian to stay, but Qi Hong seized her shoulder and stopped her.
Xie Tian nodded at the girls and Kang Yan with a bitter smile. Then, he walked toward Xu Miao.
Xu Miao assumed a pokerface, hiding his happy expression. He looked at Xie Tian in solemn, "If you insist on staying, I can cover for you."
Xie Tian shook his head, "Thank you, young master Xu. I'm sorry for disappointing you and your clan. I shall take my leave."
"I see," Xu Miao tossed a bottle with a pill to Xie Tian, "Even though I can't stop you, that pill can give a boost to your strength in a dire situation. Good luck with your endeavor. I hope that we can still be friends when we meet again."
"Me, too. Thank you for saving Jiang Lan and everything you've done for me. I swear that I'll repay you someday."
"… Stay safe, brother."
"You, too."
Xie Tian left the silver phoenix VIP stand with a sad expression. On the contrary of Xie Tian, Xu Miao watched the protagonist leaving with an evil crescent smile.
'Indeed, the pill will boost your strength for a few minutes, but it will permanently cripple your growth! Go ahead and eat the pill, and you won't get stronger anymore!'
What Xu Miao gave Xie Tian was a new pill from the system shop, which he had prepared for this occasion for a long time.
