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

41: Chapter 41 The Immortal Flower First Embraces the Dew, and the Pure Heart Begins to Pour OutTime flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

During this half-month, Yifei Peak has been thriving in every aspect.

The ten newly entered young girls are like ten immortal flowers transplanted into top-tier spiritual fields. Nourished by abundant Spiritual Qi and Medicinal Pills, they quickly adapted to life here, blooming with startling brilliance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And this brilliance reached its first peak tonight.

The night was like water. In a Quiet Room specifically prepared for Dual Cultivation at the back of Yifei Peak, sandalwood incense curled upward, and Spiritual Qi was dense and misty.

Li Yifei sat cross-legged on a jade bed. Before him were the sisters Hua Jieyu and Hua Jiefu, leaning close to each other with nervous expressions. They were the last pair among the ten newcomers to receive the baptism of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon.

Looking at this identical pair of delicate and charming sisters, the elder sister, Hua Jieyu, could still feign composure, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner state.

As for the younger sister, Hua Jiefu, she was already so shy that she buried her head low, not daring to steal even a single glance at Li Yifei.

“Don’t be afraid.” Li Yifei’s voice was so gentle it seemed capable of melting ice. He took the initiative to reach out, gently holding their slightly cool hands, and channeled a stream of pure, warm spiritual power into them, soothing their nervous minds.

“Relax your minds and leave everything to me. You only need to carefully sense the feeling of spiritual power flowing through your Meridians; this will be of great benefit to your future cultivation.”

Feeling that warm and non-aggressive power, the sisters’ tense bodies unconsciously relaxed a little. They nodded together, their voices as soft as a mosquito’s hum: “Yes... Husband.”

Li Yifei smiled slightly and said no more.

With a thought, the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon began to circulate slowly.

The spiritual power within him—half supreme Yang and rigid, half supreme Yin and soft—formed a perfect Yin and Yang cycle. It then transformed into two gentle warm currents, flowing into the bodies of the two sisters respectively.

“Mm...”

Hua Jieyu and Hua Jiefu let out a soft moan simultaneously, feeling an unprecedented warm current instantly envelop their entire bodies.

This power was overbearing yet gentle, forcefully pushing through the previously stagnant Meridians in their bodies without causing the slightest pain. Instead, it was like using the finest, smoothest jade to repeatedly groom and widen the channels through which their spiritual power flowed.

They originally possessed four-attribute Pseudo Spirit Roots and had barely reached the threshold of the second level of Qi Refining upon entering the Sect; their Foundation was still shallow.

Now, under the guidance of Li Yifei’s incomparably pure spiritual power, the spiritual power within them seemed to find a core, beginning to circulate in a profound and efficient manner.

The originally mixed and impure spiritual power was continuously purified and compressed, while the newly generated spiritual power became more refined and heavy.

The two sisters felt as if they were immersed in a warm ocean. All tension and shyness had vanished, replaced by a sense of comfort and ease as they were immersed in the Great Dao.

Who knows how much time passed, but when that warm current completed nine great cycles within them, both felt a sudden jolt in their bodies, as if an invisible shackle had been instantly snapped open!

Boom!

The Spiritual Qi in the Quiet Room rippled slightly, and a spiritual light unique to a Breakthrough shone around both sisters.

The spiritual power within them surged and broke through the Bottleneck, officially stepping from the second level of Qi Refining into the Realm of the third level of Qi Refining!

When everything settled, the sisters slowly opened their eyes. Feeling the pure magic power within them that was more than twice as strong as before, their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

Just one session of Dual Cultivation had allowed them to complete a Breakthrough that an ordinary Cultivator might need a year of bitter cultivation to achieve! Moreover, they could clearly feel that their Foundation had not suffered the slightest damage; on the contrary, it had become unprecedentedly solid and stable!

“How do you feel?” Li Yifei withdrew his technique and stood up, looking at them with a smile.

“Husband...” Hua Jieyu was the first to react. Pulling her sister, she prepared to kneel on the bed in worship, her eyes full of excitement and reverence.

“We... we broke through! Thank you, Husband, for this gift of rebirth!”

Li Yifei quickly supported them, saying softly, “I said we are family; there is no need for such grand formalities.”

He looked at their cheeks, flushed with excitement, and the burgeoning admiration and love in the depths of their eyes, nodding with satisfaction.

Just like them, over the past half-month, the other eight girls, including Jiang Yingying and Xia Xiaohe, had all completed this transformative first Dual Cultivation under Li Yifei’s gentle yet powerful guidance.

The five girls with True Spirit Roots—Jiang Yingying, Xia Xiaohe, Meng Zhishu, Liu Xinyue, and Bai Qingmeng—had all broken through from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth.

And the three girls with Pseudo Spirit Roots—Sun Qiaoqiao, Feng Lingxue, and Wu Nongruan—had also, without exception, advanced from the second level of Qi Refining to the third.

Throughout the entire process, Li Yifei handled things with extreme gentleness and consideration, allowing them to feel the warmth of being cherished and protected while their cultivation progressed.

...

In an elegant courtyard on Yifei Peak, the ten newly arrived girls were gathered together, chirping away as they shared their joy with one another.

“Oh my god, I still can’t believe it! In just half a month, I went from the second level of Qi Refining to the third!” The baby-faced Sun Qiaoqiao waved her small fists excitedly, her face flushed red.

“And Husband is so gentle. I... I don’t feel scared at all anymore.”

“Yes, yes,” Wu Nongruan echoed softly from the side, her Wu-dialect voice full of happiness.

“Husband is like an immortal from the heavens—no, even better than an immortal. The sisters on the peak never bully us, and every day there are endless spiritual fruits to eat and Medicinal Pills to use. This is simply a life I wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.”

The always energetic Xia Xiaohe was currently munching happily on a piece of Spiritual Melon, saying indistinctly, “I finally understand now why Sister Liu and the others all adore Husband so much. Husband is not only generous but also so powerful, and he treats us so well! I’ve decided—from now on, I’m Husband’s most loyal little fangirl!”

The heroic Feng Lingxue did not speak, merely silently wiping the Dharma Sword she had just received. However, her eyes, which were much softer than usual, and the slight upward curve of her lips, all indicated that her heart was far from calm.

On the other side, the several girls with True Spirit Roots felt even more deeply.

“This Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon is truly a divine technique that seizes the natural order of heaven and earth.” The cold and elegant Meng Zhishu put down the bamboo slips in her hand, a strange light flashing in her Phoenix eyes.

“I have consulted many ancient records and have never seen such an overbearing yet gentle Dual Cultivation method. Not only does it not harm our primordial yin, but it also uses Husband’s harmonious Yang Qi to temper our Foundation, making our spiritual power increasingly pure. Such divine effectiveness is unheard of!”

Jiang Yingying, the most dazzlingly beautiful of them all, had put away her usual charm in her fox-like eyes, replaced by a hint of solemnity and relief: “I originally thought this was just an equal exchange. Looking at it now, we’ve gained immensely.”

“What Husband has given us is far more than what we have sacrificed. He has not only given us a ladder to the heavens but also given us a... home.”

The word “home” caused all the girls to fall silent for a moment, followed by heartfelt, happy smiles appearing on their faces.

Indeed, Yifei Peak was not like a Sect; it was more like a home.

Here, there was the gentle and powerful “head of the family,” Li Yifei, who bore everything on his shoulders, and the kind and amiable “sisters” who looked after them. There was no scheming, no fighting over resources—only the warmth of mutual support and a clearly visible bright future.

Their attitude toward Li Yifei had long since shifted from initial awe and curiosity to a complex emotion mixed with worship, gratitude, dependence, and love.

This young husband had completely conquered their hearts in the most direct, effective, and gentlest way possible.

And all these changes were witnessed by another pair of cool eyes.

Within Su Yanran’s independent courtyard, she stood by the railing, her Divine Sense sweeping over the bodies of those newly promoted Junior Sisters again and again.

Her mind was undergoing an unprecedented shock.

“Ten people... all of them broke through...” she murmured to herself, her cool voice carrying a hint of unbelievable trembling, “And their Foundations are stable, their Spiritual Qi is pure, with not a trace of instability!”

For the past half-month, she had been closely monitoring the changes in these ten girls.

The results had completely overturned her understanding.

Li Yifei’s Dual Cultivation Technique was not only real, but its effects were much better than she had imagined!

This was no longer simple energy harvesting or mutual benefit; this was practically a supreme divine technique akin to “enlightenment”!

Using his own powerful cultivation and pure Origin, he cleansed the Meridians and marrow for his Dao Companions, forcibly elevating their life levels!

She remembered how she had spent two full years of bitter cultivation to break through from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the eighth, how many Medicinal Pills she had consumed, and how much mental effort she had exhausted during that time.

Yet these Junior Sisters, whose talent was far inferior to hers, had completed an accumulation in just half a month that might take others a year or two.

What moved her most was that “perfect state” after the Breakthrough.

This proved that what Li Yifei had said was not false—the benefits of Dual Cultivation for the female side were substantial!

“The Dao... the Dao...” Su Yanran’s breathing became rapid.

She had always believed that to pursue the supreme Great Dao, one must endure loneliness, sever emotional ties, and keep one’s Dao Heart clear and translucent.

But now, Li Yifei had shown her a completely different path to the heavens.

A path that was warm, lively, and even filled with the atmosphere of the Mortal World.

The icy fortress in her heart, constructed from the pride of a favored daughter of heaven and her obsession with the Dao, finally began to crack inch by inch before this ironclad fact, and then... completely melted.

Her heart was moved!

It was an intense longing for a higher Realm coming from the depths of her Soul!

She could no longer deceive herself, nor could she use her so-called pride as an excuse any longer.

Su Yanran turned abruptly, an incomparably scorching flame igniting in her cool eyes for the first time—a flame containing desire, determination, and a hint of shyness and anticipation that even she hadn’t noticed.

She looked toward the main hall of Yifei Peak, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lip.

Perhaps, it was time... for her to take the initiative and talk to him.
