Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Although Lu Chen no longer manages the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, and most of the political affairs are handled by Lu Changfeng and his group of officials, Lu Chen's control over the Great Xia Dynasty remains very firm.

In particular, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is still under his control, and it has expanded to include various sects and forces. Lu Chen is now very familiar with the movements of those sects and forces.

In recent years, the influence of sects on cultivators has been decreasing, and the number of outstanding disciples that major sects can recruit has been decreasing. Many sects have even stopped recruiting disciples altogether.

Although Su Hanyan was the emperor's woman, the situation of the Mi Xian Sect was not much better. The first choice for cultivators in the Tianchen World was the Cultivation Academy, and then the various sects and forces.

Although the Mixian Sect is not at the point of being unable to recruit any disciples, the quality of the disciples they recruit is declining every year, which makes the elders of the Mixian Sect very anxious.

If this continues, the Bewitching Immortal Sect will likely decline further.

However, the higher-ups of the Mixian Sect weren't entirely stupid. Since they couldn't recruit outstanding disciples, they decided to follow the trend. Just as the Great Xia Dynasty established cultivation academies, their Mixian Sect could also establish one, disguising it as a school to recruit students.

The idea was good, but no one knew what Emperor Xia's attitude was towards it. If Emperor Xia discovered that the Misty Immortal Sect was secretly establishing a cultivation academy, he would likely be very angry.

So far, only the Great Xia Dynasty has the authority to establish a cultivation academy. The sects can only watch helplessly. If they were capable of establishing a cultivation academy, they would have done so long ago.

Su Hanyan's purpose in coming to see Lu Chen today was very simple: she wanted to get a spot from Lu Chen to establish a cultivation academy.

Although Lu Chen no longer pays much attention to the affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is still the emperor after all, and he holds great power. As long as Lu Chen speaks, the Misty Immortal Sect can establish a cultivation academy in Black Dragon City.

Su Hanyan looked at Lu Chen with seductive eyes. She was very curious whether Lu Chen really knew why she had come to see him today.

Just as Su Hanyan was looking at Lu Chen suspiciously, Lu Chen continued, "It's not impossible for the Mi Xian Sect to establish a cultivation academy, but the Mi Xian Sect's cultivation academy must be subject to the unified management of the Ministry of Education of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Hearing this, Su Hanyan was stunned. It turned out that Lu Chen really knew why she had come.

only……

If the academies of the Mixian Sect are placed under the unified management of the Ministry of Education of the Great Xia Dynasty, wouldn't the Mixian Sect be training cultivators for the Great Xia Dynasty?

Will the cultivation academy established by the Mi Xian Sect still belong to the Mi Xian Sect in the future?

Lu Chen continued, "Being under the administration of the Ministry of Education of the Great Xia Dynasty doesn't mean that the Mi Xian Sect's cultivation academy has to obey the Great Xia Dynasty in everything. It just means that the Great Xia Dynasty stipulates how many students the Mi Xian Sect's cultivation academy can enroll each year, and that's how many students the Mi Xian Sect can enroll."

"Of course, the specific management of the Mixian Sect Cultivation Academy is left to the Mixian Sect itself, and the Great Xia Dynasty will not interfere."

Su Hanyan instantly understood Lu Chen's meaning. Lu Chen meant that the Great Xia Dynasty should restrict the number of students in the sect cultivation academies. This was normal, since if the sect cultivation academies recruited a large number of students, it might affect the Great Xia Dynasty's public cultivation academies.

Su Hanyan immediately replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet, you still have things to finish."

Su Hanyan was slightly taken aback, remembering what Lu Chen had just said. She would have to take the initiative to serve Lu Chen in order to get such a spot.

but……

She almost never took the initiative to serve Lu Chen; it was always Lu Chen who took the initiative, which left her completely at a loss as to what to do.

Lu Chen continued, "If you don't know what to do, you can have your two disciples teach you personally."

Su Hanyan quickly said, "No...no need."

Su Hanyan didn't want her two personal disciples to see her like that, so she decided to figure it out herself.

Lu Chen then withdrew and lay down on the soft couch. Seeing this scene, the blush on Su Hanyan's jade cheeks became even more pronounced.

Su Hanyan then slowly rose, knelt on the soft couch, and bowed slightly.

She remembered what Wu Yunwan had done to Lu Chen, so she decided to learn from Wu Yunwan.

Seeing that Su Hanyan, this fairy, was actually willing to take the initiative to do that kind of thing, Lu Chen's anger flared up even more, and Su Hanyan couldn't help but let out a "hmm".

Su Hanyan cursed inwardly, "That bastard!"

Although she felt incredibly frustrated, Su Hanyan had no choice but to continue for the sake of the cultivation academy of the Misty Immortal Sect. After an unknown amount of time, the first stage finally ended.

Su Hanyan lay on the edge of the soft couch, coughing incessantly. At this moment, Lu Chen said, "Even if you establish a cultivation academy, it doesn't necessarily mean you can get those students to join the Misty Immortal Sect. After all, in terms of cultivation resources, the combined cultivation resources of all the major sects may not even match those of the Great Xia Dynasty."

The Great Xia Dynasty controls the cultivation of spirit rice, and this alone is enough to make those cultivators willing to risk their lives for the Great Xia Dynasty.

After spitting out a few times, Su Hanyan wiped her mouth and said, "We have to give it a try. If this continues, there probably won't be many people left in the Misty Immortal Sect."

Nowadays, many cultivators from the Misty Immortal Sect have left the sect and joined the Great Xia Dynasty. The Misty Immortal Sect cannot stop this; they cannot prevent those cultivators from joining the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Xia Dynasty has laws stipulating that major sects and forces cannot restrict the freedom of cultivators. If cultivators want to leave their sects, the major sects cannot stop them. If they do, they are going against the Great Xia Dynasty.

With more and more talented people leaving and no replacements being made, if this continues, the entire Misty Immortal Sect will probably only have a few cultivators left to retire, which is not what Su Hanyan wants to see.

Although she was Lu Chen's woman and largely sided with him, she was unwilling to let the Mi Xian Sect completely submit to the Great Xia Dynasty. She still wanted to maintain the relative independence of the Mi Xian Sect.

Su Hanyan didn't want to be like Lu Chen's other women, staying in the palace every day and letting Lu Chen ride her around.

At this moment, Su Hanyan slowly walked up to Lu Chen and prepared to have intimate contact with him, but Lu Chen stopped her.

A wicked grin spread across his face. "Let's go somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanyan instantly understood Lu Chen's meaning, and for a moment, her face showed a mixture of shame and anger.

Su Hanyan immediately replied, "Don't even think about it."

Lu Chen said, "My wives and concubines serve me in this way. Since you are the one who takes the initiative to serve me, then naturally all sorts of methods will be used."

At this point, Lu Chen reached out, pinched Su Hanyan's cherry-like lips, and gazed into her eyes.

"We've tried everything here, so trying other places isn't out of the question."

"you!"

Su Hanyan was so angry she couldn't speak. This guy actually wanted to...

Although she was a cultivator who had already abstained from grains and had eliminated impurities from her body, it wasn't impossible for her to do so. However, the thought that she would have to serve this guy like that made Su Hanyan feel incredibly humiliated.

She was, after all, a cultivator.

How can we succumb to such exploitation? (End of Chapter)
