The Wang Family had 18 children in total, but now the numbers have dropped to 15. It's the flow of life, the leaves shall forever not remain within the tree.

Within the back training courtyard of the Wang Family, nine sisters were present there— Ling'er, Yufei, Ningning, Shuangshuang, Meiyu, Huanyu, Lian'er, Qiqi, and the youngest, Xiao Yu.

There is no explanation needed for Ling'er, and Yufei.

Ningning was the Eldest sister, and second-born child, with a graceful elegant figure with a touch of maturity with bigger mounds of breasts than her younger sisters, a soft, thin waist, and wide child-bearing hips, possessing both the flawless skin and long flowing hair like a waterfall of silk.

Alchemy, array mastery, and weapon forging are divided into: Fifth grade, fourth grade, third grade, second grade, first grade, Earth grade, Saint grade, Heaven grade, Emperor grade, Immortal grade.

The same goes for the hierarchy of pills, arrays, and runes, and weapons. However, the quality might differ, into low quality, good quality, best quality, and Sage quality, profound quality on pills and runes.

One is also bound by the rules, thus, without breaking through, a fifth grade can't comprehend the ways of fourth grade thus, fifth-grade array masters can't make forth-grade formation or runes, same is with alchemy and weapon forging.

"Big Sister Ningning, Big Sister Shuangshuang, are we really going to hand over the earthly treasures to the Hóu Family?" Lian'er asked, her voice a soft melody that carried the sharp edge of a hidden blade. She sat gracefully upon a stone bench, her posture upright.

"Umm, from the looks of it, the fate is inevitable. It seems they are trying to stop us from getting power due to the Brother Tianmo's status," Ningning said, her voice soft as silk, though her eyes held a flicker of concern.

Obviously, the young bud doesn't fathom the vast way the world works, believing it to be as simple as suppressing a family tied to a taboo existence.

"Hmph! They just want to bully the poor," Shuangshuang scoffed, her fingers snapping a withered twig from the ground.

"Sister Shuangshuang, please control your temper," Meiyu said in a soft, gentle voice as she sat by Shuangshuang's side, her eyes filled with a hint of worry. "You are like a fire, burning too brightly sometimes."

Shuangshuang huffed, her eyes still glinting with a mix of anger and determination. "But it's not fair, is it? They think they can belittle us just because of Brother Tianmo's status."

Qiqi couldn't help but chime in with her playful tone. "Maybe they're just scared of our potential..."

Meiyu nodded in agreement, her gentle fingers lightly soothing Shuangshuang's tense shoulders. "Yes, perhaps. But we must remain calm and think logically. We can't let anger take over us, also, we got all the resources from someone else, it never belonged to us..."

Fair point.

"Big Sister Ningning, Big Sister Shuangshuang, I have a question," Lian'er said, her voice calm and composed, but with a hint of curiosity. "If we hand over the earthly treasures to the Hóu Family, what will happen to our cultivation resources? Will we still be able to advance?"

Ningning and Shuangshuang exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with uncertainty, the likely outcome would be that their cultivation would be slower, but not by much. They are mostly dependent on the Dragon Court compared to other earthly treasures.

"No. We won't be affected greatly."

"It seems Brother Tianmo has woken up, shouldn't we go visit him?"

Hearing the soft murmur, Ling'er's ears twitched slightly hearing the name Tianmo gege. She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, her heart fluttering like a butterfly caught in a gentle breeze. She also joined the conversation.

"Brother Tianmo is awake? When did it happen?" She asked, her voice soft and gentle, but with a hint of curiosity, walking towards the group.

"Ah! It was an hour prior, I saw him walking in the main hall, looking like a deity descended from the nine heavens, his aura... it was suffocating, yet mesmerizing," Qiqi chirped, her eyes wide with a mix of awe and mischief. She fanned herself with a delicate handkerchief, though the air was cool. "He has grown even more handsome. If I weren't his sister, I might have lost my heart right there."

Lian'er rolled her eyes, though a faint blush dusted her cheeks. "You lose your heart to any face."

"Please... I am not like that, okay?" Qiqi retorted, puffing out her cheeks like a squirrel storing nuts. "I have standards! High ones! But... well, he is our brother. It doesn't count if he is the most handsome man in the world, right?"

Lian'er let out a soft, exasperated sigh, shaking her head. "Your logic is as twisted as a root-bound tree."

"Enough chatter," Ningning intervened, her voice the calm stream that cuts through the noise of a brook. "Perhaps we should visit Brother, we still share the blood of Wang Family, and we are his sisters. It is only right."

Ling'er's eyes lit up, the cold ice of her demeanor melting into a pool of eager anticipation. She smoothed the folds of her azure dress, her fingers trembling ever so slightly. "Yes! Yes! As sisters, we should visit our brother. It's only natural."
