The women were stunned to hear both twin sisters exclaim about Ling Tian. The next moment they sent their spirit senses into his body, effectively realizing that he was crippled.
"Junior brother, are you crippled?"
One of the women nearby asked in surprise as she saw again and again that each of his meridians were shattered. Even with a closer search she could tell that his dantian was also cracked, making him a total cripple.
"Yes, I am crippled..." Ling Tian replied with a slight smile, raising his eyebrows slightly as he noticed that in this woman's gaze who asked there was no contempt; on the contrary, there was even genuine concern added to a sadness looking at his body.
"Aren't you disappointed about this?" Ling Tian asked lightly as he realized that not only the woman beside him but all the others were looking at him with concern and full of sadness.
It was too rare to see sympathy in another outsider cultivator, to the point of pitying one. Normally they would find scorn, derision and disdain.
"Why should we be?"
One of the sisters who bore a great resemblance answered with a question, smiling even. Her sister next to her nodded and smiled as well.
"Elder Lu may have sent you here so that you would repair your meridians and be able to cultivate like before again."
Ling Tian shook his head slightly at the response before nodding in agreement to these women.
"Many of us have been injured or crippled at one time or another. If it weren't for our respected Masters we wouldn't be here, cultivating again and with peace, getting an unimaginable second chance thanks to them." Pang Wuya nodded sympathetically to Ling Tian.
"I was also crippled, even my talent for cultivation was very poor. But thanks to our Masters, I was able to recover and cultivate once again, and this time with a much better aptitude than before!"
Hong Xian'er added grandly partially explaining her situation. Her lovely fists clenched in a sign of power and confidence, showing that she was aware of her state and seized every moment of the present.
"My younger sister and I also didn't have a great talent for cultivation, getting stuck at the Third Stage of Chi Gathering and couldn't advance any further." Jia Chenxin added with a faint smile as well.
"But fortunately we were saved by our wonderful Masters, being happy and even more so to find out that they are also twin sisters like us!" Jia Chenruo added at once, showing a joy and happiness towards her Masters.
Ling Tian immediately saw that both twin sisters had a cultivation at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. But surprisingly, the aura they gave off was close to that of a Late Stage cultivator of the same realm.
"I was also rescued by my Master!"
"Our Masters even healed this weak woman and gave her a home!"
"Yes! They even helped me recover from my injuries!"
"My Master gave me a home..."
The women soon began to express their pasts and encounters with their Masters, showing their gratitude and joy towards them. Many of them also explained their past problems and how they met their saviors.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Ling Tian listened quietly to every voice in the place, nodding inwardly and with a happy and proud smile.
The girls he had raised and cared for in the past had become exceptional women!
"But lately things haven't been good to say the least." Suddenly, Pang Wuya added as her lips made a slight grimace of helplessness and sadness.
"Why do you say that?" Ling Tian frowned slightly. Now he wanted to know about what was going on in the sect from the disciples' perspective.
"Because since our Masters and the other Elders left the sect fell into the hands of others, various factions and struggles for power and domination of the place arose. Because of this, the atmosphere in the sect declined a lot and it is no longer like before. The resources that we received were withdrawn by the same current leaders of the sect to give them to their own descendants or members of their families. A clear example of this is the man who just left, Heng Jiming; because he is one of the sons of the current leader with the most power and influence in the sect he comes to bother us and steal our resources, making us unable to advance in our cultivations."
Pang Wuya began to explain to Ling Tian in a few words the current situation of the sect. The women on the spot clenched their hands over their spirit weapons full of anger and helplessness, showing sad and desperate expressions.
"They've even sent almost all of the senior sisters who had powerful cultivation on horrible missions, inevitably dying without us being able to do anything. All so that they can get rid of us since we are trash having ordinary cultivation qualifications." Hong Xian'er gritted her teeth helplessly, feeling despair as well at the memory of those kind and protective senior sisters who were no longer around. A tear threatened to form in the corner of her beautiful eyes.
Ling Tian remained silent, listening carefully to the helplessness and sadness of these women. Clearly he understood the current situation of the sect; now that there were no obstacles to the current leaders they would get rid of the old members so that they could have total control over the sect. This type of change was very common in changes and takeovers in sects.
But what puzzled him was that his disciples had made the mistake of totally abandoning the sect according to everything he had seen and knew. Lu Wuhu had commented to him earlier that he had unfinished business with the sect and that is why they came. Most likely at this time he and the others are settling this matter.
"There are also other fellow female disciples who have recently entered our Peaks, receiving countless cultivation resources because they come from the same families as the current leaders. Even our own resources that were originally destined for us were given to them..." Pang Wuya sighed helplessly. Although they often tried to fight for their cultivation resources, their forces were not powerful enough to fight back.
"We can't even make much progress in our cultivation, so we are still inferior to those geniuses..." Hong Xian'er also sighed helplessly, finally loosening the strength in her fist.
Ling Tian raised his eyebrow at her comment. It seemed that the situation and atmosphere of the place really was on the floor.
"It is an undeniable truth that geniuses will always stand out for their greatness when cultivating, but that doesn't mean they are invincible. Even with ordinary and even very poor aptitudes, with hard but above all very consistent work one can surpass those so-called geniuses." Ling Tian began to say softly, but with a tone full of confidence and assurance, "At first you will not notice and you even will realize the disparity of difference between them and yourselves, but if you do not give up and go ahead deciding and shaping your own destinies, the results will be unimaginable and you will become great cultivators. Remember that you yourselves are the ones who limit yourselves on your path, so you must never hesitate whether to move forward or not... you have to persevere and not give up!"
Ling Tian took out several jade bottles containing countless pills with different functions, surprising the women, even more so when he started handing them out to everyone.
"This is a small gift from this junior brother towards you. Although it's not much it can help you increase your strength a little while the sect returns to what it used to be before." Ling Tian smiled, somehow sending them hope and strength that everything would return to the way it used to be. Ling Tian handed over two bottles containing several pills to Hong Xian'er.
Hong Xian'er looked at Ling Tian in a daze as she received the pills, not understanding how this new junior brother could give them so many pills. He had handed over dozens of bottles full of pills!
Jia Chenxin, Jia Chenruo and the other women were dumbfounded as well. They didn't know how this new junior brother could give amazing gifts.
"Thank you very much, younger brother Ling!"
"We are really grateful!"
"Little brother is amazing!"
The women soon began to express their thanks to Ling Tian, clenching their fists together smiling happily.
Hong Xian'er, Jia Chenxin and Jia Chenruo also thanked Ling Tian, holding a pleasant concept of him.
Ling Tian waved his hand casually, flashing a smile. These pills were of low and medium quality, so they were very beneficial to these women currently.
But no one had noticed how Ling Tian could have taken out so many vials of spiritual pills from his storage ring if he was supposedly crippled. A crippled cultivator couldn't even use his spirit sense!
"Junior Brother, I don't know how the other Peaks are currently, since we mostly keep ourselves in secluded cultivation, so it would be best for you to stay at our Peak for a while until Elder Lu or our Masters return, or at least until we are all expelled from the sect if such a thing should happen. That way you won't run into Heng Jiming or his men and you won't have any problems. We could still try to get you one of the pills to repair your meridians."
Pang Wuya put the bottle of pills within her own storage ring and said to Ling Tian.
"Are you sure? I understand that the two Peaks you come from only have women disciples, while the other Peaks are mostly men." Ling Tian was slightly surprised. All this time he had seen that the other Peaks had all men, some occasional women in those places. But in this place there were only women and no other men besides Heng Jiming and group.
"In our Peaks there are only women, but since you are a new junior brother we can't leave you helpless, more so with the current situation of the sect." Pang Wuya nodded and added with a grimace, "Although it's a pity that you can't cultivate peacefully compared to before, you can still stay here. You are a disciple of Master Lu, so it means you belong to our family group, and ours we don't abandon, right sisters?" Pang Wuya looked at the women with a smile.
"Yes!"
"Junior brother looks like he's a good man!"
"If he is sent by Elder Lu then it means he is a great man!"
"We have no problem with him staying with us... we can even teach him what we have learned!"
"Of course! But I'd also like him to tell us if he has any beauty or rejuvenation techniques, hehe~"
"That's right! Little brother, you wouldn't be so stingy with your big sisters right? We can even give you some valuable items in exchange for some amazing beauty technique!"
The women soon began to cheer up once again, smiling happily as they once again questioned Ling Tian about the beauty techniques, still believing that Ling Tian had cultivated these secret techniques and methods. None of them objected to this new man who would become their junior brother staying in their Peaks; on the contrary to that, they were looking forward to knowing about their Masters as well.
Besides, if this new junior brother was sent by Elder Lu Wuhu, he is most likely a respectful and kind good man!
Jia Chenxin, Jia Chenruo and Hong Xian'er also nodded happily. None of them felt discomfort at this.
"Haha, it's fine. I thank you for your hospitality." Ling Tian finally laughed and nodded.
This group of women had no contempt, hatred or disdain for him, but on the contrary, offering him to stay with them.
"By the way, junior brother, what were you doing in the restricted areas? I saw that you were harvesting the spiritual plants in an old-fashioned way... could it be that you know something about alchemy?"
Once they calmed down, Hong Xian'er asked curiously, attracting everyone's gaze. Normally alchemists would be concerned about spiritual plants from their nurturing and growth.
Ling Tian blinked in surprise and nodded.
"You can say that, I know a little about alchemy-"
"Hehe? The supposedly united and hardworking family has finally given up on continuing to cultivate? You'll finally abandon the sect upon realizing you're trash?"
A voice full of mockery and disdain interrupted Ling Tian as a group of more than 10 women hurriedly arrived. Their gazes met with Pang Wuya and the two leading sisters of the other Peak.
