Well unless something happens this obviously isn't the place of their final battle, but now that we know Xie Tian is in the 3rd stage it would be nice to know how close Cao Mao is to that rank. I get his requirements for reaching that stage are much higher than Xie Tian but after like 2 months of being in this sect(not including the time increase of the IST) he should have advanced really close to the 3rd stage.
On another note, won't the incomplete transformation of some the girls reduce the chance of pregnancy? I am not against it when considering our MC practices Orc King Sutra. However, I also feel like an incomplete transformation (and cultivation) could explain how they didn't get pregnant yet. Well, if anyone ends up pregnant, Cao Mao would just need to think a bit more on family planning and insurances. I am glad that he is thinking about market prices now. He just needs to start working on supply chains, connections, protections, and safety nets. ......Mmm, I wonder whether a new side quest pertaining to Xie Tian will appear again? If it does, I hope he prepared traps, orc strength pills (with their useful gasses), and some other stuff.
I guess we will find out next chapter, but it would be slightly odd if one wasn't yet, dude is ejac*lating in them so much that it would be weird if he didn't inseminate at least one girl during their ovulation period. I know it isn't guaranteed but with like 12 yin slaves(well 13 possibly now because it was estimated he needed a month to break the new girl) one of them should have been impregnated by now. He definitely did it with them during their ovulation period, so there would have to be some issues with his fertility if he didn't knock up at least one girl of the 12-13. It has been 2 months so counting the 13th yin slave once and the other 12 two times it means he had 25 chances to get a girl pregnant, failing 25 times after having your sexual organ turned into an Orc's would make no sense imo.
Thanks for the chapter!!! I am now wondering how far Xu Mao progressed in memorizing herbology (along with other farmer tips), completing Tutorial Quest 9, and learning new pill recipes. After all, unless the other forces only sent weaker agents, I assume that Cao Mao finally learn how to create face masks and hair dyes via alchemy, since no one caught him yet. With that said, I doubt most people are reckless enough to offend the Myriad Cauldron Sect, since they are an unknown number of people who might owe them favors. Not everyone is as stupid as You Shan. Additionally, I am truthfully just dying to see Cao Mao learn or create a mystic art for combat. As for the others, I can only wish E19 the best of luck in mending her friendly ties to Jiang Lan in the future. I am also surprised that Ju Chen is now sane enough to have a jade phone without trying to eat. However, though Wei Yuan is good in debates, I would probably still make the girls work on learning how to take care of flowers and herbs...in the future, since a little bit of exercise and flower care can be good.
