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

25: Chapter 25 All those under the fairy’s command are extraordinaryInside the Profound Ice Palace, the cold was biting, enough to make the spiritual power of ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators flow sluggishly.

Li Yifei stood with his head bowed, feeling several gazes interlacing into an invisible net that firmly enveloped him. The most frigid and oppressive one undoubtedly came from the high seat ahead.

That was his future Revered Master, the Ice Sword Fairy, Su Muxue.

She sat there quietly, her palace robes as white as snow, her black hair cascading like a waterfall. Her face, devoid of makeup, was breathtakingly beautiful yet chillingly heart-palpitating. It was a secluded coldness, as if she did not belong to this mortal world.

”Raise your head,” the Ice Sword Fairy’s cold voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.

Li Yifei looked up as told, his gaze clear, carrying a perfectly measured sense of admiration and awe.

The Ice Sword Fairy looked at the handsome, gentle-mannered young man before her, a ripple of emotion flashing through her indifferent eyes.

She could feel a depth within this youth that she could not see through, far more than just the Qi Refining Fifth Layer on the surface. It was this mystery, combined with his shocking Alchemy talent, that finally made her decide to make an exception.

”Do you know why this seat has accepted you?”

”This Disciple is dull,” Li Yifei said respectfully. ”I only know it is my Alchemy skills that luckily caught Revered Master’s Dharma Eye.”

”Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness.” The Ice Sword Fairy snorted coldly. ”Under my seat, I do not keep idlers. Your Dao of Alchemy talent is the only one I’ve seen in my life; do not let it go to waste.”

”This Disciple will surely follow Revered Master’s teachings and cultivate diligently without pause!”

The Apprenticeship Ceremony was brief yet solemn. After the rites were concluded, Li Yifei officially became the only male Disciple under the Ice Sword Fairy and was granted an independent peak with Spiritual Qi far superior to the Outer Sect as his True Disciple’s Immortal Cave.

”Xiao Xiao,” the Ice Sword Fairy spoke indifferently.

A woman brimming with heroic spirit immediately stepped forward and bowed. ”This Disciple is here.”

”Take your Junior Brother to settle in and familiarize him with the Sect’s rules.”

”Yes, Revered Master.” Third Senior Sister Chu Xiao Xiao complied, then turned to Li Yifei with a hearty smile. ”Junior Brother, come with me.”

The two walked out of the Profound Ice Palace together. The sunlight outside dispelled the bone-chilling cold, making Li Yifei feel a sense of relief.

”Scared, were you? Revered Master is just like that—cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You’ll get used to it.” Chu Xiao Xiao spoke with a smile as she led the way. Her voice was crisp and pleasant, instantly closing the distance between them.

”Thank you, Third Senior Sister, for helping me out,” Li Yifei said gratefully.

”It’s a small matter.” Chu Xiao Xiao waved her hand heroically. ”By the way, I haven’t officially introduced myself. I’m Chu Xiao Xiao. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me.”

She gestured to her side, where several figures were curiously following not far behind.

Only then did Li Yifei dare to carefully observe these stunning Senior Sisters.

The leader was naturally Third Senior Sister Chu Xiao Xiao. She wore a well-fitted set of green martial attire with a wide belt cinched at her waist, outlining a startlingly slender waist and perky curves, her long legs straight and powerful.

Her appearance was not of the soft and beautiful type, but rather carried a sharp heroic spirit. With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a high bridge to her nose, and a face devoid of makeup that glowed with a healthy blush, she possessed a unique charm in her valiant air.

”Those two in Alchemist robes are your Fourth Senior Sister Mu Xiaoyu and Fifth Senior Sister Chen Guoguo,” Chu Xiao Xiao introduced.

Fourth Senior Sister Mu Xiaoyu was hiding behind Fifth Senior Sister. Her figure was petite, and the oversized Alchemist robes made her look even more endearing.

She had an exquisite, small oval face with fair skin. Her eyes were like those of a startled fawn, timidly glancing and then looking away. Her long eyelashes drooped like two small fans, evoking pity.

Fifth Senior Sister Chen Guoguo was quite the opposite. She had a cute apple-shaped face and a pair of dark, lively eyes that were curiously sizing up Li Yifei.

Her figure was dainty. Although obscured by the Alchemist robes, one could still see the well-developed curves of a young girl. She was currently holding Mu Xiaoyu’s arm, the whole person radiating a lively youthful aura filled with Origin Qi.

”Both of them are Second-Rank Alchemists who spend all day in the Pill Room. Their cultivation is still at Qi Refining Perfection. You can interact with them more regarding the Dao of Alchemy in the future.”

”As for that pair of twins over there, they are Sixth Senior Sister Mu Qingyu and Seventh Senior Sister Mu Qingxue.”

Li Yifei turned his gaze to the corner and couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

The twin girls wore identical light blue gauze skirts. Their figures were slender and their curves graceful, like two lotus flowers blooming from the same stem.

They had identical, beautiful faces, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn waters, stunningly beautiful.

The elder sister, Mu Qingyu, had a gentle smile on her lips. Her temperament was as warm as jade, like a noble lady from a misty southern region, making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

The younger sister, Mu Qingxue, had a cold expression and ethereal eyes, like a banished immortal who did not eat the food of the mortal world. Nothing around her seemed to leave a mark in her pupils. One gentle, one cold—the same peerless beauty, yet displaying completely different charms.

After introducing everyone present, Chu Xiao Xiao added, ”The ones you haven’t seen today are the Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister. In our lineage, they are the most powerful and the most valued by Revered Master.”

Li Yifei immediately showed a look of curiosity.

A hint of admiration flashed in Chu Xiao Xiao’s eyes as she lowered her voice. ”The Eldest Senior Sister is named Eldest Martial Sister Yun Ni Chang, and she has a Water Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root! She is already at Foundation Establishment Perfection and is in perpetual seclusion to strike for the Golden Core Great Dao. She possesses a celestial appearance and an elegant, noble temperament, like a Goddess of the Nine Heavens. She is the ’white moonlight’ in the hearts of all male Disciples in the Sect.”

”The Second Senior Sister is called Jade Purity Cold. Her talent is even more astonishing. Like Revered Master, she has an Ice Attribute Variant Spiritual Root and is already at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.”

”Her beauty is inherited from the same lineage as Revered Master—both are that kind of cold, peerless beauty like an iceberg snow lotus, only she is a bit more aloof, keeping people a thousand miles away.”

”The looks of those two are truly kingdom-toppling; you won’t find anyone in the entire Sect who can compare to them.”

Li Yifei’s heart felt a surge of heat, but he modestly said, ”The Senior Sisters are all chosen daughters of heaven. It is truly the fortune of three lifetimes for Yifei to join this Revered Master’s lineage.”

Chu Xiao Xiao took him flying on a sword to a peak shrouded in mist and rich in Spiritual Qi. She smiled and said, ”This will be your territory from now on. Give it a name yourself.”

After a moment’s thought, Li Yifei waved his hand and carved the three large characters ”Yifei Peak” onto the stone tablet at the mountain gate.

Looking at the high-spirited Li Yifei, Chu Xiao Xiao suddenly winked mischievously and teased, ”Junior Brother, I’ve heard that when you were in the Outer Sect, you had several beautiful confidantes living in your Immortal Cave. You’ve quite the romantic luck.”

”Now that you’ve become a True Disciple, shouldn’t you bring them all over? Our Profound Ice Palace lineage has been quiet for too long. It would be good to have your Dao Companions here to add some liveliness.”

Her tone was relaxed, with a hint of well-intentioned teasing, without any sign of reproach.

Li Yifei was startled for a moment, then smiled freely. ”Senior Sister is making fun of me. They are my family, so naturally, I want to be with them.”

”Good! You have a sense of responsibility!” Chu Xiao Xiao nodded in approval, her impression of this Junior Brother improving even more. ”That’s more like a man. Alright, settle in first. I’ll come find you for a drink another day!”

As she finished speaking, she turned into a green rainbow and left spiritedly.

Standing at the peak, Li Yifei watched Chu Xiao Xiao’s departing figure and thought of the Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister she had described. The smile on his lips grew even wider.

This Profound Ice Palace lineage, from Revered Master to Senior Sisters, everyone was a top-tier ”resource.”

His good days were only just beginning.
