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

16: Chapter 16 A Beauty Enters the Cave, and Springtime Feelings Begin to StirLuo Yunxi’s seemingly casual remark was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up ripples.

Qin Baobao, lacking any guile, was overjoyed at the words. She immediately grabbed Luo Yunxi and Han Yueling’s hands and urgently turned to Li Yifei: ”Yifei, please? Moon Spirit and Yunxi are my best friends. Letting them accompany me would make the Immortal Cave even livelier!”

Han Yueling, however, frowned and gave Luo Yunxi a sharp glare.

How could she not see through her best friend’s intentions? This was clearly using the excuse of a visit to present a letter of allegiance to Li Yifei!

She felt a bit displeased, thinking Luo Yunxi was too opportunistic, but then seeing Qin Baobao’s expectant and happy little face, she couldn’t bring herself to voice her reproach.

Li Yifei took everything in, already understanding the situation.

He didn’t answer directly but looked at Qin Baobao gently, saying softly: ”Since you’re heavy with child now, it’s naturally good to have company. However, Junior Sister Moon Spirit and Junior Sister Yunxi also have their own cultivation duties. How can we delay them for our private matters?”

His words were airtight, showing consideration for Qin Baobao while kicking the ball back, appearing generous and reasonable.

Luo Yunxi inwardly praised him for being ”so formidable,” but her face showed just the right amount of disappointment and grievance: ”Senior Brother Li is right; we were being presumptuous. It’s just... seeing Baobao so happy, we truly wanted to do something for her.”

Seeing her friend’s expression, Qin Baobao immediately felt distressed. She grabbed Han Yueling’s arm and shook it vigorously: ”Moon Spirit, just agree! It’s been so long since the three of us spent every day together. And haven’t you always been worried about me? If you come and see for yourself, won’t you know how well Yifei treats me?”

That last sentence accurately hit Han Yueling’s weak spot.

Indeed, she had always been worried about Baobao being bullied by this man with a harem.

Hearing is hollow, but seeing is believing. If she could use this chance to observe Li Yifei’s character up close and ensure Baobao’s safety, it seemed... not entirely unacceptable.

Under the pincer attack of Qin Baobao and Luo Yunxi, Han Yueling’s cold expression finally broke. She nodded helplessly: ”Fine, fine, I’ll do as you say. But let’s be clear, we’re only here to help take care of Baobao, not...”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

Li Yifei smiled slightly and went with the flow: ”Of course. I am deeply grateful to both Junior Sisters for coming to help. It just so happens there are some Spirit Medicines in the Immortal Cave that need sorting, and the tasks are numerous. Since Baobao and the others are indisposed, we are short-handed. Thus, I shall trouble you two.”

And so, in the eyes of outsiders, the other two of the Three Great Beauties of the Outer Sect also began to frequently visit Li Yifei’s Immortal Cave, becoming regulars at ”Yifei Peak.”

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this half-month, Luo Yunxi’s heart felt as if it had been cast into warm spring water, melting and changing drastically every day.

Her and Han Yueling’s nominal job was to help Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing organize the massive medicinal storehouse needed for Li Yifei’s Alchemy. The work wasn’t tiring; instead, it gave them the chance to delve into every corner of this ”home.”

Luo Yunxi saw with her own eyes that when the afternoon sun was just right, Li Yifei would personally bring a bowl of fetal-soothing spirit soup and feed it spoonful by spoonful to the lazy Lin Qingxue. That patience and tenderness were by no means a facade.

She also saw with her own eyes that when Liu Ruyan encountered a Bottleneck in her Cultivate, Li Yifei didn’t withhold anything. He personally explained the key points of the Cultivation Technique and casually gifted her a perfect-quality ”qi gathering pill” to help her Breakthrough. That generosity was as if he weren’t giving away a Medicinal Pill worth a thousand gold, but a common piece of candy.

What shocked her most was the atmosphere of this home.

Here, she saw no scheming or infighting. Steward Bai Zhi and Qin Wanqing, who had the highest cultivation, put on no airs of being stewards; instead, they were like two gentle older sisters, carefully teaching Liu Ruyan, who had the lowest cultivation.

Qin Baobao and Xiao Waner, who had entered earlier, didn’t exclude the later arrival Liu Ruyan. Instead, they often shared their cultivation insights and Li Yifei’s ”preferences.”

All the women revolved around Li Yifei as the absolute core, yet they had formed a strange, sisterly harmony among themselves.

One evening, Luo Yunxi saw Xiao Waner bicker with Liu Rumei over a small matter, and both felt a bit aggrieved. She thought a show of jealousy was about to start, but the next moment, Li Yifei simply smiled, pulled them both into his arms, kissed each on the cheek, and said a few soft words. The two pregnant women, who were still sulking, immediately cleared up, apologized to each other, and reconciled.

At that moment, Luo Yunxi was completely stunned.

She finally understood that the core cohesion of this home didn’t lie in any rules, but in Li Yifei himself. He had an innate charm that could make all women fall for him and feel at peace. What he gave was not just resources and a future, but a sense of belonging—being cherished, needed, and cared for.

”This... is what a real ’home’ is...” Luo Yunxi murmured in her heart.

Comparing herself—a True Spirit Root Aptitude, having to fight tooth and nail for a few Spirit Stones or a bottle of Medicinal Pills, with a long road ahead and a dim immortal path.

Yet here, perfect Medicinal Pills were daily snacks, high-level Cultivation Techniques were bedside teachings, and a bright future was within reach.

This heaven-and-earth difference caused her already active heart to be completely ignited by the flame named ”desire.”

She didn’t want to be a bystander anymore. She didn’t want to return to her cold and simple Immortal Cave with a heart full of envy and loss after finishing her ”work” every day.

She wanted to become a member of this place! She wanted to be one of the women who could openly share in Li Yifei’s tenderness!

Once this thought took root, it was like a wild vine, instantly entangling her entire heart.

What truly made Luo Yunxi set aside the last shred of doubt was a private chat with Liu Ruyan.

That day, she saw Liu Ruyan just finishing Dual Cultivation with Li Yifei and walking out of the secret room. Far from showing any signs of exhaustion from primordial yin loss, her face was rosy, her skin was as lustrous as jade, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around her had not weakened but had become even more pure and condensed, as if she had just undergone a complete transformation.

Luo Yunxi’s heart stirred, and she pulled Liu Ruyan aside, seemingly casually asking: ”Sister Ruyan, I see your complexion getting better day by day, and your cultivation is advancing rapidly. However... I’ve heard that Dual Cultivation methods are mostly paths of plucking and supplementing, and in the long run, I fear they may damage a woman’s Foundation...”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan burst out laughing, her smile full of happiness and pride.

She leaned into Luo Yunxi’s ear and whispered: ”Sister Yunxi, you wouldn’t know. My husband’s Dual Cultivation Technique is a rare supreme manual of Yin and Yang mutual supplementation where both parties benefit! Every time we Cultivate, my husband uses his incredibly pure spiritual energy to nourish our Meridians. Not only is there no damage, but it also helps us purify our spiritual energy and stabilize our Foundation. How can such a good thing be compared to plucking evil arts? This is clearly a massive Opportunity!”

These words were like a dazzling light, completely illuminating the last dark corner of Luo Yunxi’s heart.

So it was true!

It turned out this Dual Cultivation method was actually a supreme method beneficial to both parties!

No wonder... no wonder every woman here was utterly devoted to Li Yifei, their eyes full of love and admiration.

What he gave was not just material generosity, but substantial, fundamental help that could make their immortal path smooth!

Her final worries vanished, leaving only infinite desire and firm determination.
