CHAPTER 610: 610 DISTRESS

Tan Shaoting’s heart stirred; this was exactly an opportunity. Although the Shushan Sect was not as powerful as the Three Sects now, it used to be the number one existence on this continent. It is also a very powerful sect, and moreover, the Shushan Sect is a sword cultivator sect.

There are also schemes and plots, but it is definitely much better than other sects.

"It’s just me alone. I don’t trust leaving the children outside, but I want to try my luck, so I have to bring them along."

"Indeed. Even if the relationship is good, it’s not appropriate to leave the children with someone else.

Mr. Tan, you are only twenty-four years old and have already reached the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer. May I ask about your Spirit Root?"

"I have a Gold and Fire Dual Spirit Roots."

"Mr. Tan, your Spirit Root is really excellent, very suitable for practicing swordsmanship. Actually, you could join our Shushan Sect."

Tan Shaoting smiled, "I’m here with three kids, and as a loose cultivator, joining a sect won’t be easy.

I once had this thought, but later I gave up."

"The three children are now already at Qi Refining First Layer. What about their Spirit Roots?"

"They all have three spiritual roots. It was because my wife and I found the herbs for Washing Marrow and performed it on them that they reached Qi Refining First Layer."

"That’s really very fortunate.

These three children can absolutely join the Shushan Sect, and your family of four can stay together.

Mr. Tan, not to be offensive, but you’ve been a loose cultivator for so many years. Don’t you know the plight of being a loose cultivator? You should provide a superior cultivation environment for the children, and joining a sect is the best choice.

Our Shushan Sect, although weaker now, has deep roots, and choosing to join Shushan is absolutely the best choice."

Tan Shaoting’s expression showed a bit of excitement, "Xing Dao You, of course, I’ve thought about it, but I’m afraid of not being accepted, my children are still young and should be accepted, but I’m now at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, I’m afraid the sect won’t take me."

"Mr. Tan, what kind of thought is that? Why would you think you won’t be accepted?"

"I’m a latecomer in cultivation."

"Haha, you’re worrying too much. There will certainly be some influence, but as long as you haven’t done anything to harm the sect, you won’t be affected.

If you have this intention, you can follow us to the Shushan Sect after leaving the secret realm, our elders are outside. I’ll recommend you."

"Then thank you, Xing Dao You."

Agree first for now. If he can’t go back, then proceed to the Shushan Sect, the rented house is about to expire. There’s nothing much inside, whether to go back or not doesn’t matter anymore.

The three female cultivators walking ahead were quite happy, as they noticed Tan Shaoting’s bone age. Being so young and reaching the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, he would be valued at the Shushan Sect as well.

They all kind of had thoughts about it, as after all, a man with strength, who can also be so attentive and good to the children, how could he not touch the heart of a female cultivator?

Many loose cultivators heard too. How could they not envy? Why become a loose cultivator, almost all because their Spirit Roots were too poor to be accepted by a sect. Hearing him being welcomed by the Shushan Sect, how could they not be moved?

But they were aware of their situation. He has dual Spirit Roots. While they have unusable Spirit Roots, wanting to get in was totally impossible.

Jealousy among cultivators manifests as exclusion of the other party.

But Tan Shaoting didn’t pay attention to anyone other than these five Shushan Sect cultivators. Even if others isolate him, it wouldn’t affect anything since he really doesn’t care.

Other sects also heard the news. If dual Spirit Roots were to join a sect from the start, they would definitely be valued, but entering halfway, the core things wouldn’t be available to him.

So there’s nothing to envy about that. It’s just that having three children with Spirit Roots is relatively advantageous.

Although they’re three spiritual roots, they can now at least enter the outer sect, not just as servant disciples.

Ahead, they discovered demon beasts again, and the people behind them had no hope of encountering them. Because this concerns Spirit Stone.

The five from Shushan Sect behaved with decorum, but the loose cultivators at the back were unwilling. Because they are not sect disciples with cultivation resources, even small bits count.

When resting at night, a dozen loose cultivators went to find the senior brother from the Beast Taming Sect at the front.

Tan Shaoting and his group didn’t pay attention, as they were busy roasting beast meat.

The remaining cultivators saw this and followed suit learning from them, after all, having been in the Secret Realm for several months, they couldn’t possibly really have nothing left.

Li Wenjun handed Qi Yan a piece of meat, receiving a thank you in return, which made the girl quite happy.

At night, they each took turns to watch.

"Fellow Daoists, let me do it. I’m used to it anyway. If not, I can’t sleep well. After all, with three kids, I’m not at ease."

The others were straightforward; they understood the situation.

Tan Shaoting knew those three people were keeping an eye on them, but no matter how much they racked their brains, they wouldn’t know what he had gained.

Now, two of the children have Spiritual Pearls. Their future cultivation will be much more efficient, but the Spiritual Pearl needed by Qi Yan is truly hard to find.

No one has ever heard of Thunder Spirit Root in this cultivation world.

But that’s a matter of personal chance. It’s really not something to be forced.

At night, the three children were all sitting on the mat cultivating. They knew that they should be cautious until completing a Grand Circulation as their father said many people were paying attention to them.

Tan Shaoting wandered around nearby, then returned to the children’s side. He sat down but didn’t cultivate.

Since he said he’d keep watch, he had to show an attitude.

There had never been any incidents at night here, so the watchmen tended to be lax.

Tan Shaoting smiled as he watched the three children sleep; they resembled him more. But he could still vaguely see traces of his wife in them.

His heart was full of thoughts of his wife, wondering what that silly girl was doing.

Actually, her personality was even wilder than his own, and what he saw in the mirror, he didn’t know if it was real or an illusion realm.

Anyway, that was definitely something his wife could do, that silly girl. Sometimes more passionate than anyone else.

Suddenly, he noticed many demon beasts approaching.

Tan Shaoting woke up the three children and also awakened Xing Chongshan.

"What’s wrong?"

At this time, it was already within the range of a Divine Sense at Great Perfection in Qi Cultivation, so there was nothing unusual.

"There are many demon beasts."

After saying this, many around them stopped meditating.

Soon, everyone began making preparations.

Tan Shaoting directly took out the Array Plate, "You three stay inside; no one and no demon beast can enter. Don’t be afraid."

Qi Yan held the hands of his younger brother and sister and nodded obediently.

Tan Shaoting let the three of them inside and stood outside the array. This was an absolute protective posture.

Soon, a herd of demon beasts appeared. It was a Fourth-tier Demon Beast leading them. This was the first time they saw a high-level demon beast since entering the secret realm.
