Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

”You’re not wrong about that, but you don’t know the situation in our residence. The time flow inside our residence is ten times faster than in the outside world, and there are many ice cultivators on our side. If they leave our residence and cultivate in the Frostmoon Domain, they won’t gain any benefits.” Ling Xi’s answer did not surprise Kou Zhenhan and the others because some places did have different flows of time; not to mention, Ling Yun and the others knew the Time Lord, so it was not difficult for him to speed up the flow of time in his residence. ”Alright, Zhou Yu and I still have some matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now. By the way, my husband wants Bai Qingmei to go to our residence to train Feng Ruxue and the others in alchemy, so I hope you can ask her to go there now.”

Kou Zhenhan nodded to Ling Xi. ”I will ask my wife to go to your residence now.”

Sometime later, Bai Qingmei arrived at the Yunlong Zhuzhai. Although she was still outside the residence because Ling Yun had deliberately placed the teleportation devices in the forest, she could still see the residence’s beauty. However, she was also curious about the residence because it looked more like a fortress than a normal residence, especially with its high walls and the tall tower in the center.

”Welcome to our residence, Senior Qingmei.”

”Yes.” Bai Qingmei nodded to Feng Ruxue, who was walking toward her with Qu Qiyue and Su Fei. ”So, who else wants to learn about alchemy besides the three of you?”

”There are still several other women in our residence, Senior. For now, please follow us, and we will introduce you to them.” Feng Ruxue answered her.

”Alright.” Bai Qingmei immediately followed the three women into the residence. The spaciousness and beauty of the residence amazed her even more, but she felt strange when she saw dozens of women passing by inside it. She was even more amazed because they looked so close and harmonious with each other, both young and old. ’That young man is truly extraordinary for being able to gather all these women in one residence, and the beauty of each of them has a beauty that can top a country.’

”They are my husband’s wife and daughters, Senior.”

Bai Qingmei simply nodded at Su Fei. ”Your husband is truly a lucky young man, and having all of you by his side will surely make any man jealous, both seniors and juniors. Not to mention, he also has the Goddess of Life as one of his wives, which is something other men can only imagine.”

”Haha.” Su Fei and Feng Ruxue laughed softly.

”Are you also his wife?” Bai Qingmei asked Qu Qiyue.

Qu Qiyue shook her head slightly. ”Honestly, I often feel jealous of them, but I have no interest in men, and I’m only interested in alchemy. I have no desire to get married, and my life goal is to become the best alchemist I can be.”

”Haha.” Bai Qingmei laughed at that. ”Little girl, I don’t dare say that I’m the best alchemist in this Supreme Realm because there are still some who are far better than me, but I dare say that my alchemy abilities are among the best. I have always pursued the path of alchemy since I was young, but I have never forgotten that I am a woman, and I need someone to accompany me in my life. I have a husband who has accompanied me since I was young; we have several children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.”

”But—”

”Listen to me, little girl.” Bai Qingmei interrupted Qu Qiyue. ”I understand your dream of becoming the best alchemist, but to achieve our dreams, we will inevitably encounter stumbling blocks. Sometimes we will also encounter dead ends, which we may not be able to overcome by relying on ourselves. Some people manage to get through it on their own, but the number of those who succeed is far smaller than those who fail. I’ve met too many failed alchemists in the past, and their failures were because they had no one to lean on when they hit a dead end.”

Qu Qiyue lowered her face without refuting Bai Qingmei, as she had been in such a position in the past, but she had managed to rise from her slump with the help of the people by her side.

Bai Qingmei spoke to her again. ”We can certainly rely on the people around us, but they also have their lives, and they won’t be available to us all the time. In the past, I also thought like you, and I almost gave up on alchemy when I reached a dead end. Fortunately, I met my husband, and he pulled me out of despair; otherwise, I would never have reached this level. When we fall into despair, the best people who can help us are our family because they will always be there for us, and they will not hesitate to help us.”

”Some people like that, but many of them don’t care about their families, Senior.” Qu Qiyue spoke with a sad expression. ”Honestly, one of the reasons I would rather not get married is that my late father was not a good parent; he abandoned my mother after meeting a prettier woman. My mother died when I was ten years old, and my master in alchemy has raised me since then. Therefore, I have never had any interest in any man, let alone marrying one.”

”Your past experiences were indeed unpleasant.” Bai Qingmei spoke as she nodded a few times. ”However, our biggest mistake is that we keep looking at the past, which often obscures the good things that lie ahead, making it difficult for us to change and move forward.”

Su Fei and Feng Ruxue laughed inwardly when Qu Qiyue glanced at them. They had often discussed the same issue with her in the past, but she had never been willing to listen to them.

”I assume you’ve lived with them for a long time, so you should already understand their situation.” Qu Qiyue nodded to Bai Qingmei. ”Do any of those living in this residence feel unhappy?”

”No.” Qu Qiyue shook her head in response. ”They are always joyful, but their happiness is not mine. Anyways, let’s stop talking about this matter, and we will focus on alchemy.”

Bai Qingmei could only shake her head and say nothing more. Soon they arrived at the building dedicated to alchemy, and Feng Ruxue immediately introduced her to her other sisters, Feng Ling’er, Feng Xing, and the others.

Bai Qingmei wasted no time and started teaching them more about alchemy, which wasn’t too difficult for her since they had been alchemists for quite some time.
