Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Another hour had passed and even as the banquet had already ended the people had not left yet. They simply couldn't bring themselves too, they all wanted to talk with Young master Shirong. They were all asking him about anything he needed or what kind of area that he wanted them to prepare.

Each and every single word that he said was listened to by them carefully and they were noted down. Almost immediately, even if it was midnight, the town was woken up and the preparations were started. The workshops and refiners started working and would be working for a long time.

The citizens were unaware of what had happened and were wondering why all the blacksmiths and workshops were working at this time. They even wondered if a war decree had been issued and were a bit scared. Only after the clans assured them that everything is fine and that the more detailed notice will be given tomorrow morning did they go back to sleep.

The clans knew very well that their actions would have a lot of observers and the other cities along with the sects will be noticing them. They wouldn't be surprised if they decided to turn up too. Clan head Lu also wrote a report and sent it to the royal court of the Ling Kingdom.

The breakthrough of a Nascent soul realm cultivator was a big matter and each and every cultivator that did it would become a powerhouse that could lead a clan or even start a sect of their own. Thus it was important for the kingdoms to keep an eye on them.

They would even be willing to recruit the cultivator if they accepted their terms and conditions. The sects would also send invitations to the nascent soul realm cultivator to become an external elder in their sect. They would have made them a true elder but there were few cultivators that would accept something like that.

Only the bigger sects that had Dao shell realm cultivators could afford to make them true elders of their sect. Making someone a true elder meant that they not only had a new person under their command but that they needed to give them an appropriate amount of resources as compensation too.

Shirong had a top grade cultivation technique and thus had some very specific requirements for a tribulation platform. While he could breakthrough without it the same, the use of a tribulation platform was different. 

When a cultivator underwent a heavenly tribulation, no one else was allowed to interfere or they would bear the wrath of the tribulation too. But the thing was that the other cultivators wanted to observe the heavenly tribulation to gain experience as well.

For this very reason, a tribulation platform was made. What it did was to shrink the area of effect of the heavenly tribulation. This allowed others to come closer and observe the heavenly tribulation, though there were still some risks of course.

Despite these risks, though tribulation platforms were quite popular though making them was often a difficult task. There were as many types of tribulation platforms as there were cultivation techniques in the world. There were even special tribulation platforms that could support the cultivator undergoing it.

Though the general rule of thumb was that the higher the grade of the cultivation technique the more difficult and expensive it would be to make a tribulation platform. Most often than not a tribulation platform was a single use item and would get destroyed after the heavenly tribulation passes.

Only the sects could have multi-use tribulation platforms that were attuned to most cultivation techniques. After another hour of discussion, it was finally decided that the tribulation platform would be made ten kilometers away from the city in an open plain.

Shirong had no problem with this and only asked to keep him updated about it. 

Now that everything was done, the clans started leaving one by one, bidding farewell to Young Master Shirong. Meanwhile, Clan Head Lu was only starting to begin his original plan behind the scenes. While Shirong was still talking with the other people, a mature woman who seemed to be in her thirties was standing in a room in the clan.

She was dressed in long robes that accentuated her figure and deep cleavage could be seen at the top. Even her shoulders were revealed along with her fair neck. She had her hair in a long pony tail and had a few ornaments in them, increasing her charm.

This woman was none other than Lu Miao, one of the daughters of Clan head Lu. She was the most talented among his daughters and was only surpassed by his other son Lu Peng. Lu Miao was an expert in the seduction arts and cultivated a special technique for that.

She had been informed of the plan that the Clan head had made and she gladly accepted it. In fact, she was too excited and even asked if she could participate. But the answer to this was an absolute 'No' from the clan head.

Clan head Lu was worried that her technique may offend the Young master as they would muddle the minds of men. It was still fine if she was teaching her nieces as they would only learn the basic skills of seduction, but not actually a qi technique that was for seduction.

Lu Miao was looking at the ten girls in front of her and was judging them. Clan Head Lu had originally said to send all of his granddaughters for this, but Lu Miao opposed that idea. She instead told him that she would choose the ones that were the best and the most beautiful.

After thinking for a bit clan head Lu agreed to it and now out of the sixty granddaughters that he had, only ten had qualified it. The girls had worked hard and were extremely willing to devote themselves to Young master Shirong.

Shirong in their eyes was the perfect man… the Prince Charming that will take them away.
