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

37: Chapter 37 The Beloved Wives Form a Group to Test Their StrengthEarly morning at Yifei Peak was always shrouded in a layer of faint spiritual mist.

When the first ray of dawn pierced through the mist, Li Yifei had already risen.

He turned his head to look at True Spirit Root Cultivator and Pseudo Spirit Root Cultivator who were still fast asleep beside him; both women’s cheeks still bore a satisfied flush, and he smiled, gently pulling the brocade quilt up a bit.

”Husband is awake.” The door was pushed open gently, and Luo Lingxi walked in carrying spiritual porridge. ”The Origin Condensing Pills refined yesterday have been bottled.”

Li Yifei took the Jade Slip and scanned it, then instructed, ”Refine Obstacle-Breaking Pills and Mind-Nurturing Pills this morning for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. In the afternoon, start the furnace again to refine some qi gathering pills. The sisters on the peak consume a lot for their Cultivate, so the supply cannot be cut off.”

After breakfast, Li Yifei walked briskly toward the Pill Refining Room to begin his day’s ”work.”

Before long, Lin Qingxue came in with spiritual fruits. Seeing the jade bottles piled up by the Pill Furnace, she couldn’t help but shake her head with a light smile. ”Husband, the Medicinal Pills you’ve refined in these three months are more than the Inner Sect Pill Hall’s output for a quarter. You should take a rest.”

”It’s fine.” Li Yifei didn’t even look up, his voice steady. ”There are many people on the peak now, and expenses are high. I want to settle the matters of these last few sisters before the new Disciples enter. Only by spreading the favor evenly can the household remain harmonious.”

Just then, Steward Bai Zhi walked in slowly, supporting her slightly bulging belly, and said softly, ”Husband, True Spirit Root Cultivator and True Spirit Root Cultivator are already waiting in the Quiet Room of the West Courtyard.”

Li Yifei nodded. ”I see. I’ll head over after I finish these trivial matters.”

...

Meanwhile, in a pavilion in the West Courtyard of Yifei Peak, the atmosphere was completely different from the heat of the Pill Refining Room.

The Inner Sect Prodigy Su Yanran was standing in the wind, guiding Liu Rumei and the others on their sword techniques.

”Senior Sister Su, your move ’Light-Splitting Shadow-Gliding’ is truly exquisite.” Liu Rumei sheathed her long sword, dripping with fragrant sweat, her peach-blossom eyes sparkling with admiration. ”Husband often says that in terms of sword Dao talent, no one in the Inner Sect can surpass Senior Sister.”

Facing the compliment, Su Yanran’s cold face didn’t change much, she just said indifferently, ”Junior Brother Li overpraises me.”

Recently, Liu Rumei and the others often invited Su Yanran to visit Yifei Peak. Although Su Yanran knew their purpose, she accepted half-willingly because she owed them a favor and was also curious about Yifei Peak.

”Senior Sister, are you tired from practicing? Sit down and rest.” Tang Linger obediently handed over a cup of spiritual tea. ”This is the cloud mist spirit tea that Husband specifically sought out.”

Su Yanran took the tea cup, her gaze inadvertently sweeping across the courtyard. She saw several maidservants walking with infants, adding a bit of Life Qi to the quiet courtyard.

”Does Junior Brother Li... put this much heart into every sister on the peak?” Su Yanran asked as if casually.

”Naturally.” Su Mengyun smiled and took up the conversation. ”A few days ago, when I hit a Bottleneck in my Cultivate, Husband not only ’taught’ me personally but also specially adjusted the Medicinal Pill formula for me. With Husband here, we always feel at ease.”

As Su Yanran listened, her fingers holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.

Seeing this, Liu Rumei struck while the iron was hot and said with a charming smile, ”If Senior Sister thinks our place is decent, why not visit more often?”

Su Yanran was silent for a moment before changing the subject. ”I heard... Junior Brother Li has been preparing to recruit new Concubines recently?”

”Yes.” Tang Linger nodded frankly. ”Husband wants to add more sisters to the peak. As you can see, over a dozen more children will be born soon, and just looking after them requires a lot of hands.”

Su Yanran gently stroked the rim of the cup, a trace of complex emotion flashing in her cold eyes. ”It seems Junior Brother Li really wants to expand this Family.”

”If Senior Sister is interested, why not give it a try?” Liu Rumei threw out the bait half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Su Yanran’s expression froze. ”Junior Sister, watch your words.”

”Oh, Senior Sister, don’t be offended. I’m just joking.” Liu Rumei immediately smoothed it over with a smile.

Su Yanran shook her head slightly and said no more, but ripples had already formed in her heart.

On the other side, Li Yifei finished his morning Alchemy and came to the Quiet Room in the West Courtyard. True Spirit Root Cultivator and True Spirit Root Cultivator were already waiting there.

”Husband...”

Li Yifei smiled, first asking in detail about the difficulties they faced in their Cultivate and providing guidance for each.

This meticulous care warmed the two women’s hearts, and their eyes were filled with admiration and love as they looked at him.

A bout of passion was both a joy of union and a careful teaching and cultivation.

In the afternoon, Li Yifei took a short break and then entered the Quiet Room of Zheng Shuyun and Zhao Sirou.

He did not rush to start, but instead chatted with them about interesting anecdotes from their hometowns. Only when the atmosphere became warm and harmonious did he begin the cultivation in a tender environment.

Late at night, when Li Yifei stepped into the courtyard of the twin sisters Yun Xiu and Yun Wei, the two sisters were waiting nervously at the door.

”Husband...”

”I know what you’re thinking.” Li Yifei interrupted her gently, his gaze sweeping over the two pretty faces filled with expectation. ”The matter of children cannot be rushed. Getting your bodies in good shape and stabilizing your cultivation is the priority. What should be yours will come in the future.”

He left behind the newly refined Medicinal Pills, gave a few more instructions on the key points of Cultivate, and then turned to leave.

Yun Xiu and Yun Wei stood stunned, looking at the jade bottles in their hands, their eyes welling with tears of gratitude. This feeling of being respected made them feel more at ease than any gift.

In the days that followed, Li Yifei continued the rhythm of ”spreading favor evenly.” His time was precisely divided: Alchemy, handling peak affairs, guiding his wives and Concubines, and Cultivate.

He integrated emotion and communication into it, making every union a dual blending of body and soul.

His efforts finally brought a new round of rewards.

One evening, the female physician arrived at Yifei Peak in a hurry again, her face filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

”Congratulations, Peak Master! Great congratulations, Peak Master!” As soon as she entered the main hall, she knelt to report the good news.

”Speak.” Li Yifei was flipping through account books and didn’t look up.

”Reporting to the Peak Master!” The female physician’s voice trembled slightly with excitement. ”I just checked the pulses of the madams, and there is more good news! Madam True Spirit Root Cultivator, Madam True Spirit Root Cultivator, Madam Zheng Shuyun, Madam Zhao Sirou, and Madam Zhou Qing—all five madams have been diagnosed with pregnancy!”

Li Yifei’s finger, which was flipping through the pages, suddenly paused.

He slowly raised his head, a brilliant light flashing in his deep eyes.

Five! Five again!
