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

44: Chapter 44 The Fairy’s First EncounterWhen the words ”I... I am willing,” filled with endless shyness and determination, fell, a sense of unprecedented satisfaction welled up in Li Yifei’s heart.

He knew that from this moment on, the most dazzling pride of the Qingyun Sect’s Outer Sect before him, this flower on a high peak that countless Inner Sect Disciples looked up to and chased after, would bloom for him alone.

He gently squeezed the trembling small hand in his palm, and with his other hand, he lightly brushed away the tear at the corner of her eye, a mixture of joy and relief.

”From now on, you are my, Li Yifei’s, Dao Companion and one of the mistresses of Yifei Peak. There is no need to call me Junior Brother anymore.” His voice was as warm and mellow as jade, carrying a soul-soothing power.

”Hus... Husband.”

Su Yanran lowered her head and squeezed these two words from deep in her throat. Just the change in address made her feel as if all the heat in her body was rushing to her cheeks, burning so much that even her earlobes turned an enticing pink.

In her twenty years, when had she ever shown such a maidenly posture?

Yet for some reason, amidst this extreme shyness, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and security.

Li Yifei looked at her rare and extreme bashfulness beneath her cold exterior, and his affection grew even stronger. He did not continue to tease her but instead took her hand and said softly, ”Come, I will take you to a place. From tonight onward, I will help you step onto the true smooth path to heaven.”

Su Yanran’s heart trembled, and she immediately understood his meaning.

Her desire for the Great Dao instantly overrode her shyness; she raised her glistening eyes and nodded heavily.

Li Yifei led her, not back to the main hall, but to a top-tier quiet room specially created for Dual Cultivation.

This quiet room was located at the core node of Yifei Peak’s Spiritual Vein. Inside, a top-tier second-grade Spirit Gathering Array was arranged. The Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost solidified into spiritual mist. The Moonlight Stones embedded in the walls emitted a soft glow, and the Jade Bed in the center was as warm and smooth as water, giving off a strange fragrance that calmed the mind and spirit.

When the stone door of the quiet room slowly closed, isolating all external sounds and leaving only their clearly audible heartbeats, Su Yanran’s body tensed up again uncontrollably.

She saw Li Yifei walk to the Jade Bed and sit down, then reach out his hand toward her with an encouraging smile in his eyes.

Su Yanran took a deep breath, suppressing her heart that was beating like a drum.

She told herself that this was for the Great Dao and to no longer be alone. Step by step, as if walking on clouds, she came to the bedside.

When she was gently pulled by Li Yifei and fell into his warm and solid embrace, her body suddenly stiffened, and her mind went blank.

Through the thin clothing, she could clearly feel the powerful heartbeat from his chest and the scorching temperature that seemed capable of melting everything.

”Don’t be afraid,” Li Yifei’s voice sounded in her ear, his warm breath making her earlobe itch.

”Relax your mind and leave everything to me. Haven’t you always wanted to personally experience the mysteries of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon? Now is the moment to witness a miracle.”

His voice seemed to possess magic, causing Su Yanran’s turbulent Dao Heart to gradually calm down.

She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and let out a nearly inaudible ”Mhm,” completely giving up resistance and entrusting everything to the man before her.

Li Yifei smiled with satisfaction and no longer hesitated. With a thought, the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon surged into operation!

Unlike his treatment of those Junior Sisters with lower cultivation bases, Su Yanran was already a Cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Therefore, this time, Li Yifei activated the Cultivation Technique almost without reservation.

A torrent of Spiritual Qi, supremely yang and rigid yet wrapped in his Divine Sense to be incredibly gentle, surged into Su Yanran’s body like a great river!

”Mm...”

Su Yanran let out a suppressed soft moan, feeling an unprecedented, incredibly pure and overbearing power instantly rush into her Meridians!

This power was different from any Spiritual Qi she had felt before; it carried a vastness and weight originating from ancient times, as if it were the most primordial yang energy from the beginning of heaven and earth.

It forcefully widened her already very tough Meridians, washing away all those minute Impurities that were usually difficult to detect.

Her body, like a piece of uncut jade thrown into a divine smith’s furnace, was being forged, tempered, and polished over and over again!

The extreme sense of comfort, accompanied by the faint swelling pain of the Realm’s barriers being struck, made her involuntarily grip Li Yifei’s arms.

Her primordial yin energy, under the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, turned into a cool stream and naturally merged into Li Yifei’s body, converging with his primordial yang to form a perfect, endless Taiji cycle.

At this moment, Su Yanran was completely lost in it.

She forgot her shyness, forgot time, and forgot everything.

Her entire mind was immersed in this mysterious feeling of rapid cultivation growth and the continuous leap in life level.

She felt as if she had turned into a small boat braving the wind and waves in the sea of Spiritual Qi, while Li Yifei was the helmsman who would always guide her direction and protect her.

After an unknown amount of time, when the power surging through her body slowly subsided, Su Yanran finally woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Li Yifei’s handsome face with a gentle smile. Immediately after, she was stunned by the changes within her body.

Within her Dantian, the total amount of Spiritual Qi had grown by nearly thirty percent! Moreover, every thread of Spiritual Qi was more than twice as pure as before, running smoothly without obstruction, as easy to use as her own limbs.

The gains from this one night were comparable to an entire year of her past sleepless bitter cultivation!

”This... how is this possible...” Su Yanran murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

”Nothing is impossible.” Li Yifei gently stroked her smooth back and said softly, ”How do you feel??”

”I...” Su Yanran felt the incredibly solid Foundation and the skyrocketing cultivation, and the shock in her heart was gradually replaced by immense joy.

She looked up, and on that peerlessly beautiful face, a brilliant smile from the bottom of her heart bloomed for the first time, without a trace of frost. That smile seemed to make a hundred flowers lose their color and move heaven and earth.

”Very good... better than ever before!” she said sincerely. Then she felt a bit confused, ”But why didn’t I directly achieve a Breakthrough like the other Junior Sisters?”

”Silly girl.” Li Yifei dotingly pinched her exquisite nose. ”Your Realm is much higher than theirs, and your Foundation is deeper. Naturally, the Spiritual Qi required for a Breakthrough is ten or a hundred times theirs. If one session of Dual Cultivation could make you break through, then this Cultivation Technique wouldn’t be a Divine Technique but a Demonic Technique, and it would surely damage your Foundation.”

He paused, his eyes filled with strong confidence: ”But don’t worry, with our current state, it won’t be long before I can help you step into the ninth level of Qi Refining without any hidden dangers. From now on, your Cultivate speed will be several times what it was in the past!”

Hearing this powerful promise, the last trace of doubt in Su Yanran’s heart vanished.

She buried her head deep in Li Yifei’s embrace, her voice thick with reliance and happiness: ”Husband... thank you.”

Li Yifei was very pleased. Just as he was about to enjoy the moment, the System’s notification sound arrived in his mind as expected.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has officially bound a Dao Companion relationship with the True Spirit Root Cultivator ’Su Yanran’!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the following rewards:]

[Reward 1: One High Grade second-grade ’Puppet Guard’ (Mid Foundation Establishment Stage combat power)!]

[Reward 2: One perfect quality ’foundation establishment pill’!]

[Reward 3: One thousand Spirit Stones!]

Seeing the list of rewards, Li Yifei’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Another Foundation Establishment Puppet! And with Mid Foundation Establishment Stage combat power! Adding those he had obtained before, he now had three Foundation Establishment Stage combat power trump cards in his hand! This undoubtedly greatly increased his security.

And that perfect quality foundation establishment pill solved his urgent need.

Although he had the Pill Formula and the ability to refine it, several of the main ingredients for the foundation establishment pill were extremely rare. He had spent a great deal of effort just to collect a few sets of Materials, originally intending to save them for his closest Dao Companions.

Now that the System had directly rewarded a finished product, it was undoubtedly timely help!
