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

57: Chapter 57 The Sword Fairy’s WarningThe news brought by Murong Xue once again expanded Li Yifei’s “Recruiting Talent” plan.

However, those few beautiful deacons who proactively sought him out could only queue up a bit later.

After all, before them, there were three more important Inner Sect and Core Disciple members who had already scheduled “interviews.”

Li Yifei was not anxious about this; everything in due course was the path to stability.

However, early the next morning, an unexpected guest, guided by Lin Qingxue, passed directly through Yifei Peak’s Mountain-protecting Formation and arrived outside his courtyard.

“Junior Brother, what a grand display!”

A clear and pleasant voice, tinged with a hint of teasing, reached him.

Li Yifei looked up and saw a dashing figure in green standing not far away, arms crossed, observing with interest the comings and goings of the charming and gentle Concubine and Dao Companion in the courtyard.

The visitor was none other than his Third Senior Sister, Chu Xiao Xiao.

Today, Chu Xiao Xiao was still dressed in a neat green martial outfit, but it was even tighter than when they first met.

The martial attire on her upper body tightly hugged her full and upright bust, and a wide belt inlaid with jade stones at her waist perfectly outlined her slender, ungraspable waist and perky hips, exuding a wild yet healthy beauty.

Her pair of long, straight legs were encased in specially made Dharma pants, appearing full of explosive power.

She did not wear intricate jewelry like other female Cultivators; instead, she simply tied her long, black hair high into a ponytail, which further accentuated her sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and radiant complexion.

She was like a drawn Qingfeng Sword, sharp and exposed, yet possessing an irresistible unique charm, forming a vivid and harmonious contrast with the spring scenery of Yifei Peak.

“Junior Brother, the number of ’orioles and swallows’ on your Yifei Peak has increased much faster than your own cultivation,” Chu Xiao Xiao said, stepping closer with long strides, sitting unceremoniously opposite Li Yifei, and scanning him with a half-smile.

Facing Third Senior Sister’s teasing, Li Yifei merely smiled calmly, offering no rebuttal.

He skillfully took out a set of exquisite tea ware, drew mountain spring Spiritual Qi-infused water, boiled it, warmed the cups, placed the tea, and brewed it. The series of movements flowed smoothly, full of a pleasing rhythm.

He poured a cup of fragrant tea, rich with Spiritual Qi, for Chu Xiao Xiao, gently pushing the teacup towards her, and smiled, “Third Senior Sister, you’ve come at just the right time. Try Junior Brother’s newly comprehended tea ceremony skill.”

Chu Xiao Xiao looked at his calm and unperturbed demeanor, and the teasing in her eyes involuntarily receded a few points.

She picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and a clear, sweet, and mellow tea fragrance instantly bloomed between her lips and teeth, transforming into a pure Spiritual Qi that nourished her limbs and bones.

“Good tea,” she nodded, setting down the teacup.

This “good tea” was not only an affirmation of the tea but also an affirmation of Li Yifei.

She could clearly perceive that Li Yifei’s apparent cultivation had steadily entered the sixth layer of Qi Condensation, and was not far from the seventh layer.

Such progress in a short period of time made him a top performer among the entire Inner Sect.

This proved that her Junior Brother had not, as she had worried, become engrossed in a life of pleasure and neglected his cultivation.

For Cultivators, the most important things are always one’s own cultivation and Dao path. Li Yifei’s Heart-Nature and self-control were enough to leave anyone speechless.

Even if the always strict Revered Master came out of seclusion, seeing his progress, they would probably only praise him, not criticize him.

“It seems I worried too much, Senior Sister,” Chu Xiao Xiao said, her teasing expression replaced by a serious one. “Junior Brother, I came today to warn you about something important.”

“Please speak, Senior Sister,” Li Yifei said.

Chu Xiao Xiao lowered her voice a few shades: “The rumors about your Dual Cultivation Divine Technique are getting increasingly outlandish in the Sect. Things like ’turning stone into gold,’ ’Heaven-Defying fate alteration,’ and some even say that Dual Cultivating with you for one night can completely transform one’s body and lead directly to the Golden Core Great Dao!”

She sighed and continued, “Junior Sister Qin Mengyao’s successful Foundation Establishment pushed this trend to its Peak. I originally wanted to use my position in the Enforcement Hall to help you suppress the rumors, but it was useless; you can’t stop the mouths of the masses. Now, who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, staring at Yifei Peak.”

“Within the Sect, with Revered Master’s name suppressing things, no one dares to harbor ill intentions towards you. Your safety is assured.”

Chu Xiao Xiao’s eyes sharpened, “But if you leave the Sect, you will probably immediately become a target. Those within the Sect who are jealous of you, and those desperate outlaws outside the Sect, I’m afraid many Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators will be willing to take risks for this illusory ’Opportunity’!”

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei’s face still maintained its calm and indifferent expression. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a light sip, and then slowly said, “Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. Junior Brother understands. I have no plans to leave the Sect in the short term.”

Of course, he didn’t care. Yifei Peak had long been transformed into an impenetrable fortress by him.

The several Third-Rank Grand Formations obtained from the System were all driven by independent Formation Plates. With his Peak Third-Rank Formation mastery, he could easily dismantle and re-arrange them anytime, anywhere.

He even had a few dark plans in mind.

If some clueless fellow dared to attack him outside the Sect, he wouldn’t mind finding a secluded spot, quietly setting up the Grand Formation, and then, with the help of the Puppet on him that could contend with an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and dozens of Foundation Establishment Puppets, setting up a sure-kill trap.

At that time, let alone a few mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, even Early and Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators who came would surely fall on the spot!

However, there was no need to speak of these ruthless trump cards.

Li Yifei temporarily had no intention of actively causing trouble, but he had silently recorded those who coveted him in his mental ’revenge notebook’.

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Once his cultivation was higher, he would make them repay everything, principal and interest.

Seeing his Junior Brother look so confident and sensible, Chu Xiao Xiao said no more, instead curiously asking, “Seriously, Junior Brother, is your Dual Cultivation Technique really as miraculous as the rumors say?”

“The rumors are largely exaggerated and cannot be taken seriously,” Li Yifei naturally wouldn’t admit it, merely vaguely refuting, “It’s just that it can help Dao Companions purify some Spiritual Qi and stabilize their Foundation, far from being that outrageous.”

Chu Xiao Xiao nodded, half-believing, and did not press further.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she reminded him again, “Oh, there’s one more thing. Do you know that there’s a ’Succubus Fairy’ in the Sect who has always been at odds with Revered Master?”

“Oh?” Li Yifei showed an interested expression.

“Her name is Luo Hongchen. She is an Elder of the Talisman lineage, with Mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, and is most skilled in Seduction Technique and speed,” Chu Xiao Xiao’s face showed a hint of displeasure.

“This person has always acted as she pleases, neither truly righteous nor truly evil. She and Revered Master had an old grudge from their youth and would always compete with Revered Master in everything. Now that Revered Master has taken you, such a precious treasure, and she was in seclusion for a while, if she comes out and hears about you, with her personality, there’s an eighty percent chance she’ll come looking for trouble. You must be careful and guard against her; her Seduction Technique are difficult for even ordinary Golden Core Cultivators to resist!”

“I understand,” Li Yifei nodded solemnly. “I have prepared Magic Treasure to resist charm and Heart-Clearing Medicinal Pills.”

After seeing off his worried Third Senior Sister, the smile at the corner of Li Yifei’s mouth became even more playful.

Succubus Fairy? Luo Hongchen? This sounds like another top-tier “resource”!
