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

48: Chapter 48 The Allure of Two Beauties (Part 2)”Indeed.” Li Yifei looked at her shocked expression and smiled. ”This pill can be given to you, Senior Sister.”

”Give... give it to me?” Qin Mengyao’s voice was trembling, unable to believe her ears. ”Wh... why? I... I have nothing to exchange for it...”

”I don’t need Senior Sister to exchange anything for it.” Li Yifei’s tone remained gentle, but the content of his words brooked no doubt. ”I only need a promise from Senior Sister.”

He paused, his expression becoming solemn: ”Senior Sister Qin Mengyao, I, Li Yifei, officially invite you today to become my Dao Companion and one of the mistresses of Yifei Peak. This foundation establishment pill is my gift to my Family.”

”Dao... Dao Companion?” Qin Mengyao was completely stunned, her mind going blank.

She had thought of countless possibilities, but she never imagined it would be such an almost absurd reason.

Li Yifei did not pressure her, but simply looked at her quietly and continued, ”I know Senior Sister’s Dao Heart is firm and you are devoted to the Dao. But the path of a solitary person is too bitter and too difficult.”

”At Yifei Peak, you will no longer need to worry about resources and can concentrate on your Dao of Talismans.”

”You will have a warm home, sisters to support each other, and me to clear all the thorns on the path ahead. The Great Dao is still ahead, but you no longer have to walk it alone.”

His voice, like a magical incantation, echoed repeatedly in Qin Mengyao’s mind.

A warm home... no longer worrying about resources... concentrating on the Dao of Talismans...

These words held a fatal attraction for her.

She looked at the elegant young man before her, whose eyes were full of sincerity, and then at the perfect Medicinal Pill that could decide her fate. The barriers in her heart cracked inch by inch at this moment.

She was a realistic person and knew the essence of this ”transaction.” But... she could not refuse.

This was not just a pill; it was the path to the heavens she had dreamed of, the only chance to escape the sea of bitterness.

After a long time, Qin Mengyao slowly stood up and gave Li Yifei a deep and solemn Wanfu bow.

”Qin Mengyao... is willing to be Husband’s Family.” Her voice was light, but it carried an indomitable resolve.

Li Yifei smiled. He stepped forward, gently helped her up, and placed the foundation establishment pill into her slightly cool palm.

”Welcome home.”

...

The next day, same time, same place.

Unlike Qin Mengyao’s simplicity and restraint, today’s guest appeared bright and flamboyant.

Murong Xue was dressed in a magnificent fiery red Dharma dress, outlining her curvaceous and proud figure.

She had a gorgeous appearance, with a hint of innate pride in her eyes. Between her steps, she carried a confident aura that commanded attention.

As soon as she sat down, she asked straightforwardly, ”Junior Brother Li, I have never liked beating around the bush. Inviting me here in such a solemn manner, I presume it wasn’t just for tasting tea and discussing the Dao?”

”Senior Sister is a straight talker, Yifei appreciates that.” Li Yifei also did not beat around the bush. He pushed a cup of tea in front of Murong Xue and smiled, ”I invited Senior Sister here for only one thing—to help Senior Sister step into Foundation Establishment.”

Murong Xue’s movement of holding the tea paused, a sharp light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She stared at Li Yifei, her red lips slightly parted: ”Oh? Junior Brother Li has quite the bold tone. A foundation establishment pill is so precious, surely Junior Brother wouldn’t give it to me for nothing?”

”Of course.” Li Yifei admitted frankly. Meeting Murong Xue’s scrutinizing gaze, he also took out a perfect quality foundation establishment pill and placed it on the stone table.

”Hiss—”

No matter how high Murong Xue’s spirit was, she couldn’t help but gasp at this moment.

Her beautiful eyes widened, staring fixedly at the pill. A scorching light erupted in her eyes, a complex radiance mixed with ambition, desire, and shock.

”My condition is simple.” Li Yifei said slowly, ”Become my Dao Companion, and the future of the Murong Family will be completely bound to my Yifei Peak.”

Murong Xue’s heart pounded wildly. She forced down the shock in her heart, moved her gaze from the pill back to Li Yifei’s face, and a charming curve hooked onto the corner of her mouth: ”Just one foundation establishment pill and you want me, Murong Xue, to commit myself to you? Junior Brother Li, you underestimate me too much. I admit this pill is very enticing, but... it’s not enough.”

She was testing him, and also striving for her own maximum benefit.

However, Li Yifei only smiled indifferently. He did not get angry, nor did he take out anything more. He just reached out and gently pointed to the surroundings.

”Senior Sister, what you see is my price.”

His voice was calm, yet it carried a heart-palpitating, majestic confidence.

”This Yifei Peak’s current Spiritual Qi concentration is already among the top choices in the Sect.”

”That Mountain-protecting Formation is enough to withstand attacks from the Golden Core Stage. Within the Peak, Medicinal Pills are supplied without limit. The sisters who follow me, regardless of their Aptitude, are now making rapid progress in their cultivation.”

He paused, his gaze becoming deep and sharp, as if it could pierce through the human heart.

”What I am giving you is not just a foundation establishment pill, but a broad road leading to the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul! What I am giving the Murong Family is not just survival, but a supreme opportunity to rise again and even surpass its past Peak!”

”Senior Sister Murong, you are a smart person.” Li Yifei withdrew his hand, leaned forward slightly, and said word by word, ”What you want is to become a person above others, to bring glory to your Family. And I can give you all of this. A foundation establishment pill is merely a beginning, a ’meeting gift’ for you joining this big Family.”

Murong Xue was completely stunned.

She looked at the man before her, who clearly had a lower cultivation level than her but exuded an imperial aura. For the first time, she felt her pride was so laughable in front of him.

He wasn’t trading with her; he was giving her a chance to choose her destiny.

She was a realistic woman, and also an extremely ambitious one.

She instantly understood that boarding Li Yifei’s unfathomable giant ship was ten thousand times better than struggling on her own!

Her breathing gradually calmed, the pride and testing in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a decisiveness and charm born from assessing the situation.

She stood up, walked to Li Yifei’s side with graceful steps, reached out a slender jade finger to gently hook his chin, and whispered in his ear with breath like orchids:

”Husband... you must keep your word. From now on, the future of our Family is all tied to you alone.”

Li Yifei grabbed her mischievous little hand, a victorious smile hooking the corner of his mouth.

”That is natural, my woman.”
