Cultivation: Starting with a Dual Cultivation Technique at the Immortal Rank

9: Chapter 9 Simple PartnersFacing these three stunning girls with vastly different styles, Li Yifei didn’t show anything unusual; he smiled gently, like a spring breeze, making the atmosphere in the Immortal Cave instantly relax.

“So it’s Junior Sister Luo, please come in.” He nodded to Luo Yunxi, then turned his gaze to the cold Han Yueling, “Junior Sister Han, please sit as well, no need to be formal. Since you are both Baobao’s friends, then you are my friends too.”

He treated everyone equally with an open attitude, neither appearing overly enthusiastic because of Luo Lingxi’s closeness nor distant because of Han Yueling’s coldness. This calm and composed demeanor made both Han Yueling and Luo Yunxi, who had different thoughts, look at him with a bit more respect.

Li Yifei skillfully took out spiritual tea to entertain the three, then casually brought out a few bottles of the common “qi gathering pills” he had refined himself as a meeting gift.

“It’s our first meeting, please don’t mind these, Junior Sisters. If you have any questions regarding your Cultivate in the future, you can come to me anytime.”

He behaved like a perfect and generous Genius Senior Brother, leaving no flaws.

Luo Yunxi took the Medicinal Pill with a beaming smile, saying sweet words: “Then thank you, Senior Brother Li! We will be bothering you a lot in the future!”

Han Yueling simply gave a cold nod and said “thank you,” then fell silent, but Li Yifei noticed that her gaze flashed with a hint of hard-to-detect surprise when she touched the quality of the Medicinal Pill.

After some pleasantries, seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Luo Yunxi tactfully pulled Han Yueling to stand up and say goodbye.

“Senior Brother Li, we won’t disturb you and Baobao anymore. Baobao, we’re heading to the Mission Hall first, come over yourself in a bit!” Luo Yunxi winked at Qin Baobao, her smile carrying a hint of ambiguous teasing.

Before leaving, Han Yueling took a deep look at Li Yifei, then looked at her best friend who was full of happiness and completely defenseless. In the end, she said nothing, just sighed softly and was pulled away by Luo Yunxi.

Soon, only Li Yifei and the red-faced Qin Baobao were left in the large Immortal Cave.

The atmosphere instantly became a bit subtle.

“Senior Brother Li...” Qin Baobao toyed with the corner of her clothes, her head lowered, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s hum.

Li Yifei walked up to her, gently lifted her chin, and made her look directly into his eyes. His movements were soft, his eyes clear, without a hint of aggression.

“Baobao,” he called softly, “you are so good and so proactive. If Senior Brother continues to play dumb, it would be too unromantic.”

Qin Baobao’s face turned red to the roots of her ears with a “boom,” her heart pounded wildly, and she was so nervous she almost stopped breathing.

“Tell me, are you willing... to become a member of my Family, spend the rest of your life with me, and Cultivate the Great Dao together?” Li Yifei didn’t say those frivolous words but instead elevated the matter to a very solemn height concerning the future.

For a simple-minded girl like Qin Baobao, this solemn promise was far more lethal than any sweet talk.

She looked at Li Yifei’s handsome and sincere face, felt the weight of his words, and used all her strength to nod heavily.

“I... I’m willing!”

That night, the stone door was tightly closed, and the Restriction was fully activated.

Li Yifei held Qin Baobao’s hand and sat cross-legged. He patiently explained the mysteries of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon to her, repeatedly emphasizing that this Cultivation Technique had huge benefits for both parties, could strengthen the Foundation and purify Spiritual Power, and was by no means an Evil Path of plucking yin to supplement yang.

Qin Baobao already trusted Li Yifei implicitly, and now she nodded with shyness and anticipation.

The moment the Cultivation Technique started running, an unprecedented warm torrent instantly surged from Li Yifei’s palm into her body.

That flow of Spiritual Power was pure and vast, yet incredibly gentle, softly washing through her Meridians and smoothing out the chaotic Spiritual Power in her body.

The bits of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that originally required bitter Cultivate to refine were refined and absorbed almost instantly under the drive of this torrent.

She felt as if she were soaking in a warm spiritual liquid hot spring, every pore dilating and cheering.

What made her feel even more intoxicated was the wonderful link established between the two. She could feel Li Yifei’s power as deep as the sea and even more so the tenderness and care he transmitted.

No words were spoken all night.

When the first ray of morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the Immortal Cave, Qin Baobao slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling the surging Spiritual Power in her body, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her cultivation, which had hovered at the second level of Qi Gathering for a long time, had actually stepped firmly into the third level of Qi Gathering overnight! And the Foundation was incredibly solid, without the slightest sense of floating!

This... this was better than the effect of her own bitter Cultivate for several months!

“How do you feel?” Li Yifei’s gentle smiling face was close at hand.

Just last night, during the Dual Cultivation with Qin Baobao, her pure primordial yin Qi, under the operation of the Cultivation Technique, turned into a flow of extremely soft and pure energy that fed back to him. Combined with his magic power, which had already reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Gathering, he broke through the Bottleneck in one go!

“Senior Brother Li...” Qin Baobao was so excited she couldn’t speak, she directly threw herself into his arms, rubbing her cheek against his chest like a satisfied cat. “It’s... it’s too amazing! I feel great!”

Looking at her innocent and satisfied appearance, Li Yifei was also very satisfied.

The effect of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon was even better than he had imagined! He was now a genuine Cultivator of the sixth level of Qi Gathering, but with a thought, he perfectly controlled his outward aura at the fifth level of Qi Gathering.

Li Yifei stroked Qin Baobao’s hair and said softly: “Baobao, do you want... your good sisters to experience this kind of happiness too?”

Qin Baobao was stunned, looked up, her big eyes full of confusion.

Li Yifei guided her patiently: “Look, Moon Spirit has such good talent, but she always Cultivates alone with a cold face, it’s so hard. And Yunxi, she’s so lively; if she runs around all day for Cultivate resources, her smile will disappear too.”

“If... they could also join us, and the four of us could Cultivate together, progress together, and be together forever, wouldn’t that be the most beautiful thing in the world?”

“Together... forever?”

These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly hitting the softest part of Qin Baobao’s heart.

A picture immediately appeared in her mind: herself, Moon Spirit, Yunxi, the three sisters holding hands, led by Senior Brother Li, no longer having to worry about Medicinal Pills, no longer having to worry about Bottlenecks, happily Cultivate together every day, getting stronger together, never separating...

Dual Cultivation is comfortable, Cultivate is fast, and she can be with her best friends forever!

Heavens! Isn’t this the immortal path she dreamed of?

Qin Baobao’s eyes instantly lit up with an amazing light. She sat up from Li Yifei’s arms, clenched her small fists, her face written with unprecedented drive!

“Senior Brother! I understand!” She looked at Li Yifei with a serious face, “For Moon Spirit and Yunxi’s happiness, and for us to be together forever! Leave this task to me! I will definitely bring them all into our big Family!”

Looking at the simple girl in front of him who had been successfully “fooled” by him and thought she was on a sacred mission, the corner of Li Yifei’s mouth curled into a perfect arc.
