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

35: Chapter 35 Diligent Cultivation and Hard Work Lead to Breakthroughs; Springtime Beauty Abounds with Budding FlowersTime flew by, and in a blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

On Yifei Peak, life was peaceful yet fulfilling. Li Yifei had completely entered a reclusive state. Aside from occasionally handling Hundred Treasures Pavilion affairs via Jade Slip, all his remaining time was spent in his own independent kingdom.

During the day, he often lingered by the cradles of his children. Watching the three little ones, Li Nianxue, Li Nianmei, and Li Chenze, grow day by day, from helpless infants to babbling babies waving their tiny hands, filled his heart with satisfaction.

And after nightfall, it was his most ”diligent” time.

The ten newly initiated Dao Companions, plus the wives and concubines who had not yet conceived, all needed his nourishing rain and dew. Under the operation of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon, each interaction was an efficient session of Cultivation.

The primordial yin Qi of the women, after being gently transformed by the Secret Tome, not only wouldn’t harm their Foundation but would instead help them consolidate their cultivation and refine their Spiritual Qi. And this refined energy, in turn, benefited Li Yifei immensely.

This night, in Li Yifei’s Cultivation chamber.

He sat cross-legged, surrounded by swirling Spiritual Qi. After reaching the Peak of Qi Refining Layer Ten several months ago, and with the arduous Cultivation and Dual Cultivation nourishment during this period, that solid Bottleneck finally became precarious under the repeated scouring of a vast amount of pure Spiritual Qi.

Boom!

Accompanied by an almost inaudible muffled sound, a more majestic wave of magical power surged within his body. The total amount and purity of Spiritual Qi in his body reached a new level.

Qi Refining Layer Eleven, a natural Breakthrough.

”Hoo...” Li Yifei slowly exhaled a turbid breath, feeling the surging power within his body. A glint flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained as calm as an ancient well.

Accumulation over several months finally led to a Breakthrough. If this Cultivation speed were to spread, it would still be enough to drop jaws everywhere. This was certainly due to his increasingly powerful Spiritual Root Aptitude, but it was even more inseparable from the ”strong assistance” of his Dao Companions.

With a thought, he immediately activated the Illusory God Phantom Art, firmly suppressing his outwardly visible cultivation fluctuations back to the Qi Refining Layer Five level, without causing the slightest abnormality.

The Breakthrough in cultivation was only part of the gains from these two months. Through the secret reports submitted by Luo Lingxi, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s business was also flourishing.

Those improved second-tier Medicinal Pills, with their excellent cost-effectiveness, quickly dominated the market, bringing a continuous stream of wealth to Li Yifei.

With Spirit Stones, Luo Lingxi’s actions to acquire various Talismans and Formation Materials also proceeded extremely smoothly.

Now, the warehouse on Yifei Peak was already filled with various rare Materials.

Everything was steadily developing in the direction he had envisioned.

And the greater joy came from his harem.

This afternoon, with fair weather and a gentle breeze, the elderly female physician arrived at Yifei Peak as usual to conduct the bi-monthly routine pulse checks for the ladies.

Li Yifei was in the courtyard, playing with his children alongside Lin Qingxue, Liu Rumei, and Xiao Waner, his three wives who had already become mothers, enjoying a rare Family moment.

Just then, the female physician, with a face full of barely suppressed joy, hurried in, followed by a group of women with shy and expectant expressions.

”Congratulations, Peak Master! Heartfelt congratulations, Peak Master!” The female physician bowed as soon as she entered, her voice clear and loud, ”Over these past two months, every bi-monthly pulse check has brought good news! Today, I have come to summarize and report the happy tidings!”

She cleared her throat and announced loudly: ”Lady Liu Qingqing, Lady Xia He, Lady Xiao Yu’er, Lady Chen Yuanyuan, Lady Meng Jiao, Lady Zhao Feiyan, Lady Qin Yue, Lady Zhu Xi, Lady Zhang Qiaoqian, Lady Zhou Zhiqing, Lady Wang Yuyan, Lady Lin Xiuer, as well as young ladies Chun Lan and Qiu Ju... are all pregnant!”

Fourteen!

In just two short months, fourteen wives and concubines had successively become pregnant!

Even though Li Yifei had anticipated this news, hearing it firsthand still made his heart pound uncontrollably.

He slowly stood up, his profound gaze sweeping over the fourteen charming faces, capable of both joy and anger. An indescribable sense of pride welled up in his heart. On the surface, he merely smiled and nodded, maintaining the steady demeanor of a Family head.

”Thank you for your hard work, Physician,” he said gently. ”With the ladies pregnant, I will need you to take extra care in the future.”

”It is this old one’s duty to share the Peak Master’s worries!” the female physician quickly responded.

”Good, good, good,” Li Yifei said three times, fully concealing his joy and excitement within his eyes.

This meant that in the near future, he would welcome fourteen children at once! Fourteen newborn gift packages!

This was an unprecedented bumper harvest!

”Husband, I... I finally have our child.” The naive Chen Yuanyuan’s eyes were red, her voice slightly choked. She hadn’t joined the Family late, and seeing Lin Qingxue and the others give birth, it was false to say she wasn’t envious. Now that her wish had finally come true, her excitement was palpable.

”Congratulations, Husband.” Wang Yuyan curtsied gracefully, an uncontrollable smile of happiness on her face. Her accompanying maidservants, Chun Lan and Qiu Ju, were even moreExcited (agitated) and at a loss for what to do. To be able to conceive the master’s flesh and blood was an immense blessing for them, meaning their status would be completely solidified.

For a time, the courtyard was filled with laughter and boundless joy.

And in this festive atmosphere, several envious glances were quietly cast.

It was the newly initiated True Spirit Root Cultivator, True Spirit Root Cultivator, Pseudo Spirit Root Cultivator, and others, standing not far away. They looked at their elder sisters, surrounded by their husband and joy, their eyes full of longing.

”Alas, the elder sisters are all pregnant, how wonderful.” The younger twin, Yun Wei, pouted, somewhat dejectedly saying to her elder sister Yun Xiu, ”Sister, look, even Sister Lin Xiuer is pregnant. Only a few of us are left. When do you think it will be our turn?”

Yun Xiu gently patted her hand and said softly, ”Don’t rush, we came later, so there’s always a first come, first served. Husband treats us very well; as long as we serve him wholeheartedly, it will happen sooner or later.” Despite her words, the envy in her eyes could not be hidden.

The usually bold and passionate True Spirit Root Cultivator, for once, put away her charm. She looked at the pregnant women with happy faces and secretly thought, ”It seems that just serving Husband isn’t enough; I need to be more proactive. Next time... next time I must let Husband know how formidable I am!”

Zheng Shuyun, Zhao Sirou, Zhou Qing, Fang Ning, and the other women, each with different personalities, also had various thoughts, but without exception, the desire to bear children was clearly written in their eyes.

Li Yifei took all of this in. He walked to the Dao Companions who were not yet pregnant, held their hands, and gently comforted them, ”You don’t need to be anxious; it’s just that your time hasn’t come yet. In my heart, each of you is equally important. This Yifei Peak will still rely on you to spread its branches and leaves in the future.”

A simple sentence, yet it flowed like a warm current through the hearts of the women.

”Husband...” True Spirit Root Cultivator’s eyes were slightly red, looking at him with emotion.

”We understand, Husband.” True Spirit Root Cultivator and Pseudo Spirit Root Cultivator also nodded heavily, their disappointment dispelled by their husband’s tenderness.

Having appeased everyone, Li Yifei’s mind began to calculate rapidly.

Fourteen children! According to previous patterns, there would definitely be True Spirit Roots among them, as well as Pseudo Spirit Roots, and possibly even worse Mixed Spirit Roots. But no matter what, this meant at least a dozen second-tier and third-tier rewards!

At that time, his trump cards would experience an explosive growth!

Thinking of this, Li Yifei looked at the multitude of beautiful women in the courtyard, whether they were already pregnant or full of anticipation, his eyes filled with unprecedented fighting spirit.

For the Family, for longevity, he was on the right path! Next, it was to continue cultivating diligently and wait for the flowers to bloom!
