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

34: Chapter 34 Two Phoenixes Cry Together, a Unicorn is Born; Talismans, Puppet Arrays, and Elixir Formations Conceal Their BrillianceSeveral nights later, the main peak of Yifei Peak was once again brightly lit.

This time, the tense atmosphere was mixed with a hint of orderly calm. Having experienced Lin Qingxue’s delivery, the maids and physicians on the peak were clearly well-practiced.

Outside the delivery room, Li Yifei still waited anxiously, but his state of mind was much calmer than last time. Beside him, in addition to Luo Lingxi and the other sisters, Lin Qingxue, who had just finished her confinement month, also waited with her daughter, Li Nianxue, in her arms.

”Husband, don’t worry. Sister Rumei is a blessed person; she will surely have a smooth delivery,” Lin Qingxue softly comforted.

Li Yifei nodded, his gaze falling upon the sleeping face of his daughter in his wife’s arms, his heart filled with tenderness. The joy brought by the continuation of the Bloodline was addictive.

Just then, a cry, even louder and clearer than when Li Nianxue was born, pierced the night sky!

”Wah—!”

The cry was full of vigor, as if containing a peculiar rhythm that caused the surrounding Spiritual Qi to ripple.

”She’s born! She’s born!” The female Cultivator responsible for the delivery rushed out, her face beaming with joy. ”Congratulations, Peak Master! Good tidings to the Peak Master! Lady Liu has given birth to a daughter, and both mother and child are safe!”

The heavy stone in Li Yifei’s heart fell, and he immediately flashed into the delivery room.

Inside the room, Liu Rumei was drenched in sweat, her face pale, but her charming and captivating peach blossom eyes were now filled with the gentleness and joy of a new mother. She was looking lovingly at the tiny infant beside her.

Li Yifei quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and said softly, ”Rumei, you’ve worked hard.”

”It is my blessing to bear a child for my husband,” Liu Rumei’s eyes shimmered, her voice weak but her charm undiminished.

Li Yifei carefully picked up his second child. It was also a baby girl, as exquisite as if carved from pink jade. Her features carried some of Liu Rumei’s charm, combined with Li Yifei’s handsome contours, making it easy to imagine she would grow into a stunning beauty.

It was at this moment that the System’s prompt arrived as expected.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your second offspring, a True Spiritual Root (Gold, Earth, Water) Cultivator, has successfully been born!]

[Offspring birth rewards are being settled...]

[Reward One: Third Grade High Grade Killing Formation—’Nine Palaces Heavenly Severing Sword Formation’! This Formation uses nine Formation Flags as its foundation. Once deployed, it can summon the sharp Qi of Metal to transform into thousands of sword shadows, annihilating all living beings within the Formation. Its power is sufficient to threaten an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!]

[Reward Two: Third Grade Medium Grade Magic Treasure—’Profound Gold Shield’! This shield is refined from ten-thousand-year Profound Gold. Its defensive power is astonishing, capable of withstanding a full-power strike from a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator!]

[Reward Three: Third Grade Talisman Technique Mastery (Empowerment)! The System will empower you with the theoretical knowledge, techniques, and experience for drawing all Third Grade and below Talismans. As long as your cultivation and Materials are sufficient, you can draw Talismans of the corresponding grade!]

[Reward Four: Third Grade Top Grade Pill Furnace—’Purple Firmament Treasure Cauldron’! This cauldron comes with its own fire gathering and purification effects, which can greatly increase the pill Formation rate and quality of Third Grade and below Medicinal Pills!]

Li Yifei’s heart pounded violently a few times!

Such generous rewards again!

A Third Grade High Grade killing Formation! If the previous ”Illusory Sea Maze Formation” was Yifei Peak’s ”turtle shell,” then this ”Nine Palaces Heavenly Severing Sword Formation” was Yifei Peak’s sharpest ”venomous fang”! One traps, one kills; offense and defense are both covered. Yifei Peak’s safety factor once again soared to a new height.

The Third Grade Magic Treasure, Profound Gold Shield, was a genuine life-saving trump card! The Third Grade Talisman Technique Mastery opened up a completely new and hidden path of power for him! Although his current cultivation was insufficient to draw Third Grade Talismans, Second Grade Talismans would no longer pose any difficulty for him! As for the Third Grade Top Grade Pill Furnace, it made him even more formidable, allowing him to refine Medicinal Pills with greater ease!

He suppressed his inner excitement and named his second daughter ”Li Nianmei” to commemorate his affection for Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei was moved to tears upon hearing the name, nodding repeatedly.

However, good news came in pairs.

Just two days later, movement came from Xiao Waner’s delivery room. After a not-too-long wait, the third child was also successfully born.

This time, it was a boy.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your third offspring, a Pseudo Spirit Root (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire) Cultivator, has successfully been born!]

[Offspring birth rewards are being settled...]

[Reward One: Second Grade Top-tier Formation Mastery (Empowerment)! The System empowers you with the theoretical knowledge and experience for deploying all Second Grade and below Formations!]

[Reward Two: Second Grade ’foundation establishment pill’ Pill Formula! Includes a complete set of refining methods and insights from ordinary quality to perfect quality!]

[Reward Three: Second Grade High Grade Combat Puppet—’golden armored guard’! This Puppet is driven by Spirit Stones and possesses combat power comparable to a Mid Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. It has strong defense, is tireless, and absolutely loyal!]

Looking at the System panel, Li Yifei’s eyes deepened.

Indeed! His guess was verified.

True Spiritual Root offspring were rewarded with Third Grade items; Pseudo Spirit Root offspring were rewarded with Second Grade items. Although the value was lower, the practicality was no less!

Second Grade Formation Mastery allowed him to immediately set up various Formations.

As for the foundation establishment pill Pill Formula, he already had it when he received the Third Grade Alchemy empowerment.

The Second Grade High Grade Puppet, ”golden armored guard,” possessed Mid Foundation Establishment Stage combat power, which was much stronger than the juvenile Fierce Wind Eagle!

Yifei Peak now possessed two Foundation Establishment level combat powers: the Fierce Wind Eagle fledgling (Early Foundation Establishment Stage) and the golden armored guard (Mid Foundation Establishment Stage)! This strength was already comparable to a large Cultivation Family!

Li Yifei named this son ”Li Chengze,” meaning to inherit grace.

However, for Li Yifei, these tangible rewards were not the most important.

He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his mind sinking into his body, clearly feeling the changes in his own Spiritual Root. With the birth of his three children, his own Spiritual Root Aptitude was undergoing earth-shattering changes!

He, who was originally just an ordinary True Spiritual Root, now had all Five Elements attributes of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth completed. Moreover, the purity and affinity of the Water, Wood, Fire, Gold, and Earth attributes, which overlapped with his children’s, had far exceeded the scope of ordinary True Spiritual Roots, even showing a faint trend towards transforming into an Earthly Spiritual Root!

”Too strong...” Li Yifei was deeply shocked.

This meant that he would achieve twice the results with half the effort when Cultivating any attribute’s Cultivation Technique. The speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi and the efficiency of refining spiritual power would both greatly increase.

This was the most core and Heaven-Defying ability of the ”More Children, More Blessings” System! Although the children’s cultivation could not yet provide feedback due to their youth, thisOverlay of Spiritual Root talent had already given him the Aptitude of an eternal Prodigy!

New trump cards were in hand; the next step was how to convert them into true strength and wealth.

Li Yifei immediately summoned Luo Lingxi and made a series of arrangements.

”Lingxi, this Puppet is called ’golden armored guard.’ Place it outside my quiet room as my guard; no one is allowed to approach.” Li Yifei took out the golden armored guard. The chilling aura emanating from this dark golden, majestic Puppet made even Luo Lingxi feel some pressure.

”Yes, husband.”

”Also, the Fierce Wind Eagle fledgling will be personally fed by you from now on.” Li Yifei passed the control method for the Fierce Wind Eagle to Luo Lingxi. ”It is connected to my Divine Soul and will never harm you. Keep it by your side; it can both foster affection and protect you.”

As the head housekeeper of Yifei Peak, Luo Lingxi often needed to handle various affairs, and her safety could not be ignored. With a flying Spirit Beast comparable to an Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator by her side, Li Yifei could feel more at ease.

”Thank you, husband...” Luo Lingxi’s heart warmed, her eyes slightly red.

”Next, there are a few more important matters I need you to handle in secret.” Li Yifei’s expression became serious.

He handed Luo Lingxi a list: ”First, secretly acquire all the Materials on this list through the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s channels. Buy as much as you can; don’t be afraid to spend Spirit Stones.”

The list detailed various beast hides, demon blood, and spirit sands needed for a large number of Second Grade Talismans. With his current empowered Talisman Technique, drawing Second Grade Talismans was a breeze.

”Second, these are several Pill Formulas for improved Medicinal Pills. Give them to the core manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and have them organize personnel to acquire Materials and secretly refine them. Then, sell them as exclusive High Grade Medicinal Pills of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.” Li Yifei handed out another Jade Slip, which recorded the improved Second Grade Medicinal Pills, whose effects far surpassed other Second Grade Medicinal Pills of the same rank.

”Third, also acquire the Materials on this list; they are for setting up Formations.” These were Materials prepared for the ”Second Grade Spirit Gathering Formation” and some other Second Grade Formations.

Luo Lingxi took the Jade Slip and the lists, nodding heavily: ”Husband, rest assured, Lingxi will handle it well.”

In the days that followed, Li Yifei continued his fulfilling life of taking care of his children during the day and ”Cultivating” at night, while secretly implementing his plan.

He used his free time in the quiet room to refine a large number of Second Grade Talisman papers with his newly acquired ”Third Grade Talisman Mastery.” Then, relying on his empowered Talisman Technique, he easily drew powerful Second Grade Talismans—Vajra Talismans, Explosive Flame Talismans, Divine Speed Talismans...

He distributed these Talismans to all his wives and concubines on the peak, solemnly telling them: ”These Talismans are protective items I obtained through special channels at great cost for all of you. Their power is immense; remember not to easily show them to others, and even more so, do not reveal their origin.”

How could the women know that these were drawn by Li Yifei himself? They only thought that their husband doted on them, sparing no expense to buy them life-saving trump cards. Looking at the powerful, shimmering Talismans in their hands, they were moved beyond measure, and their love and loyalty to Li Yifei once again soared to a new height.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was also quietly undergoing changes.

A batch of ”Hundred Treasures Pavilion Exclusive” Medicinal Pills, whose effects far surpassed similar pills on the market, quietly went on sale, immediately attracting a frantic scramble from High Grade Cultivators.

Everything was quietly growing stronger.

Standing atop Yifei Peak, Li Yifei felt the increasingly pure and powerful Spiritual Root within him. Looking at the thriving scene on the peak, with harmonious wives and adorable children, his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of stability and ambition.

A heaven-reaching net constructed from Talismans, Medicinal Pills, Puppets, Formations, and countless offspring was slowly unfolding with him at its center.
