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

14: Chapter 14 Family ChatterSince the moment Liu Ruyan knocked on the door of the Immortal Cave, Li Yifei’s Immortal Cave had truly become a bustling and extraordinary big Family.

Inside the Immortal Cave, it was no longer as cold and desolate as before.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the Immortal Cave through the Formation, the first ones to get busy were always the most meticulous Xiao Waner and the newly joined Liu Ruyan, who was eager to prove herself.

In the kitchen, they would use Spells to grow the freshest Spirit Grain and brew it into fragrant Spirit Porridge.

”Sister Waner, my cultivation is low, so I can only do some chores. I heard Sister Qingxue has had a poor appetite lately, so I specifically added a bit of warm ’Heart-Warming Grass’ to this bowl of porridge. Why don’t you taste it and see if it’s better?” Liu Ruyan held a bowl of porridge, keeping her posture very low and speaking softly as she asked for advice. She had just stepped into the second level of Qi Refining, and in front of these ”Seniors,” she felt both a sense of inferiority and infinite longing for the future.

”Sister Ruyan, you are very thoughtful.” Xiao Waner smiled slightly, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction. ”Mhm, the taste is much smoother. Senior Brother and the sisters will surely like it.”

In a quiet room not far away, the three pregnant women—Lin Qingxue, Liu Rumei, and Xiao Waner—were sitting together. As Li Yifei expected, while the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon consolidated the foundation, nurtured the origin, and improved cultivation, it also seemed to greatly increase the chances of conception.

Lin Qingxue’s pregnancy was the longest, and her abdomen was already noticeably protruding. She was gently stroking her belly, her face overflowing with a maternal glow, looking like a completely different person from the timid girl she was when they first met.

Liu Rumei somewhat indignantly puffed out her own slightly showing lower abdomen and pouted at Li Yifei, ”Yifei, look, is my belly a bit bigger than Waner’s? My child will definitely be stronger than hers in the future!”

Li Yifei laughed loudly, handed a spirit fruit to her lips, and soothed her, ”They’ll all be strong, all of them. You just focus on nurturing the pregnancy; that’s the greatest help you can give me.”

Meanwhile, the two mature beauties, Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing, naturally took on the roles of ”Grand Housekeepers.”

They had the highest cultivation and broad experience, managing the affairs inside and outside the Immortal Cave in an orderly fashion.

Steward Bai Zhi used her connections in the Pill Fire Hall to exchange for many rare Alchemy Materials for Li Yifei.

Qin Wanqing, drawing on her experience as a deacon of the Mission Hall, organized and analyzed various information within the Sect, providing valuable references for Li Yifei’s future plans.

Qin Baobao was like a happy elf, flitting between everyone, sometimes helping to serve tea and water, sometimes teasing the Treasure-Seeking Rat rewarded by the System. Her silver-bell-like laughter added endless vitality to this home.

During the day, the Immortal Cave was filled with the sounds of happy chatter, a scene of warmth and harmony. Li Yifei enjoyed this emperor-like blessing of having many wives, watching his Family blueprint slowly turn into reality amidst laughter, his heart filled with unprecedented satisfaction.

...

When night fell, the Immortal Cave’s Restriction was quietly activated, isolating everything inside from the outside world.

The three pregnant women needed rest, so they retired early.

Meanwhile, Li Yifei took Qin Baobao, Liu Ruyan, Steward Bai Zhi, and Qin Wanqing to a secret room specifically used for Cultivation.

This was the first collective Dual Cultivation since the new members joined.

Four beauties of different charms sat cross-legged around Li Yifei, each with a different expression. Qin Baobao was full of trust, Liu Ruyan was full of expectation, while Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing carried a hint of shyness and a desperate determination.

”Concentrate.”

Li Yifei gave a low shout and was the first to circulate the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon.

Boom!

This time, four completely different torrents of Spiritual Qi flooded into his body simultaneously!

Under the guidance of his Chaos Qi and blood, the four forces did not conflict but instead formed a more complex and powerful energy cycle! That majestic torrent of Spiritual Qi caused the Spiritual Qi in the secret room to form visible vortexes!

Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing felt it most intensely. The chronic ailments and hidden injuries that had accumulated in their bodies for years were being slowly but firmly dissolved and purified under the wash of this grand and pure life energy, like ice meeting a ray of warm sun! Although less than five percent had been repaired, the comfort of being reborn made them so emotional that tears filled their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the Spiritual Qi tide slowly subsided. When the five of them finished their work simultaneously, cold mechanical voices exploded one after another in Li Yifei’s mind!

Li Yifei was delighted. However, before he could take a closer look, new prompts popped up again!

Li Yifei’s breathing momentarily stopped. He looked at the System panel where the names of Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing were prominently listed, and a long-held guess in his heart was finally perfectly verified!

So that’s how it is... the System’s criteria for judgment are much simpler and more direct than I imagined! No matter what the relationship is in name—be it Dao Companion, Concubine, or captive—as long as they perform Dual Cultivation with me using the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon, the System will automatically bind them as a Dao Companion!

This discovery made Li Yifei’s heart pound uncontrollably.

This meant that his ”Dual Cultivation Dao Companion” plan would no longer be restricted by any moral or formal constraints!

His gaze seemed to see into the future. Thousands of descendants spread across the immortal Sects; countless exceptionally talented Dao Companions building a cultivation Empire that spanned across the heavens for him. And he would only need to sit in the center, steadily enjoying it all.
