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

61: Chapter 61 The Iceberg Melts, the Raging Fire Finally Subdues the True DragonTime passed, and it was soon afternoon.

Inside the Guest Reception Pavilion, Li Yifei leisurely sipped fragrant tea, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last guest on the list.

Before long, a maid led a cold and elegant figure slowly into the pavilion.

In that instant, the warm spiritual mist that originally swirled within the pavilion seemed to be pushed back several paces by an invisible chill.

The newcomer was none other than the renowned iceberg beauty among the Core Disciples—Shangguan Qing!

She wore a snow-white robe of the simplest design, devoid of any extra ornamentation, yet it only served to emphasize her tall, elegant figure and ethereal temperament.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful. It was a kind of aggressive, cold elegance that reached the extreme.

Her dark eyebrows were like a painting, her Phoenix eyes long and narrow, and her gaze was so cold it seemed devoid of any worldly emotion.

Her jade-like nose was high and straight, her lips perfectly shaped, yet they were pressed tightly together, making her seem somewhat harsh and aloof.

However, in stark contrast to her iceberg-like beautiful face was her fiery figure, which, though wrapped in plain white robes, still failed to hide its magnificence. Her full breasts pushed against the fabric in a heart-stopping curve, and beneath her slender waist were firm, rounded hips, forming a devilish silhouette enough to make any man’s blood boil.

Ice and fire, coldness and heat—these two extremely contradictory temperaments merged perfectly within her into a unique and maddeningly captivating charm.

”Core Disciple Shangguan Qing greets Senior Brother Li.”

Her voice was just like her temperament: cold, flat, and devoid of any emotional color. ”Junior Sister Shangguan, please have a seat.” Li Yifei wore a gentle smile, but in his heart, he had already fully grasped this woman’s characteristics.

He knew that for someone like Shangguan Qing, any pleasantries or tender-hearted methods were redundant.

In her eyes, there was only the Great Dao; everything had to be measured by whether it was beneficial to her path.

As expected, after Shangguan Qing sat down, she skipped the small talk and got straight to the point. ”Senior Brother Li, I presume you already know my purpose for coming. Before arriving, I confirmed with Junior Sisters Qin Shiyue and Su Qinglian that your Dual Cultivation Technique indeed has the miraculous effect of refining spiritual power and stabilizing the Dao foundation.”

Li Yifei understood clearly; those newly accepted Dao Companions had indeed not disappointed him, already becoming his best informants and promoters within the Inner Sect.

He nodded and said, ”Indeed. Since Junior Sister has confirmed it, I presume you have already made your decision.”

Shangguan Qing’s cold Phoenix eyes looked directly at Li Yifei without the slightest evasion. ”Although I have an Earthly Spiritual Root and believe Foundation Establishment won’t be difficult, the struggle for the Great Dao is one where leading by a single step means leading by every step. If I can forge a more perfect Dao foundation with purer spiritual power, it will be of immense benefit for me when I strive for the Golden Core or even higher Realms in the future.”

She analyzed it calmly and thoroughly, completely treating this ”transaction” as an investment in her own future.

Li Yifei appreciated her frankness and rationality. He smiled and said, ”What Junior Sister says is absolutely correct. What my Yifei Peak can offer you is precisely this Opportunity.”

”I need a top-grade foundation establishment pill,” Shangguan Qing directly stated her condition. ”With it, plus the assistance of your Cultivation Technique, I am ninety percent certain I can forge a First-Grade Dao Foundation!”

A hint of hard-to-detect fervor flashed in her eyes. A First-Grade Dao Foundation was an achievement only legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root geniuses could possibly reach, representing infinite potential!

”I can do that,” Li Yifei agreed without hesitation.

Exchanging one top-grade foundation establishment pill for an Earthly Spiritual Root stunning Dao Companion—this deal was an absolute steal.

With a flick of his wrist, a top-grade foundation establishment pill with profound pill veins and an internal spiritual glow appeared in his palm, and he pushed it directly in front of Shangguan Qing.

”As long as you nod, it is yours right now.” Li Yifei’s tone was calm yet filled with confidence.

Looking at the Medicinal Pill, intense ripples finally appeared in Shangguan Qing’s cold eyes. She hadn’t expected Li Yifei to be so straightforward!

She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, slowly stood up, and performed a standard Dao Companion salute to Li Yifei.

”Shangguan Qing is willing to become Husband’s Dao Companion.” Her voice remained cold, but it held a hint of solemnity and resolve.

That evening, when Shangguan Qing entered the Dual Cultivation Quiet Room, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

However, the moment Li Yifei gently embraced her from behind and, with a thought, activated the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon, everything changed!

”Mmm!”

Shangguan Qing’s cold, delicate body shuddered violently, and a suppressed gasp escaped her lips.

An unprecedented, domineering Yang power as scorching as the core of the sun instantly swept through her entire body!

Her internal spiritual power leaned toward coldness. Under the impact of this Yang power, it was as if ten-thousand-year-old profound ice had met raging flames, instantly creating the most intense conflict and Fusion!

”This... what a domineering Cultivation Technique!” A giant wave surged in her heart.

This power was a hundred times stronger than she had imagined! Her proud, cold Primordial Yin Power, in the face of this majestic sun-like Primordial Yang, was like early snow meeting a bright sun, easily melted, permeated, and swept away!

The extreme collision of ice and fire brought an indescribable trembling and numbness, causing her eternally unchanging iceberg face to instantly flush with a brilliant rosy glow.

But Shangguan Qing was, after all, a Cultivator with a firm Dao Heart. After the initial shock, she immediately realized this was a massive Opportunity!

Enduring the pleasure that felt as if it would melt her Divine Soul, she actively circulated her own Cultivation Technique, guiding that domineering power to wash over and temper her Meridians again and again.

Her initiative made this Fusion of ice and fire even more intense!

Li Yifei felt a pure and frigid Primordial Yin Power, like a top-tier coolant, surge into his boiling Chaos vital energy and blood, causing his Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation to show faint signs of loosening and making a Breakthrough.

And Shangguan Qing, in this ultimate Fusion, completely let go of all her coldness and defenses. Her long-frozen passion erupted like a volcano!

This stunning woman, who had been cold for decades, displayed a startling heat and initiative that night, the complete opposite of her outward appearance.

Like a beautiful serpent, she used her mature, fiery body to tirelessly entwine Li Yifei, demanding and giving, as if she wanted to burn away all the coldness of the past decades in this single night.

For an entire night, the spring-like passion and heat within the Quiet Room never ceased.

For the first time, Li Yifei experienced how satisfying and addictive it was to conquer an iceberg when it turned into a volcano.

That night, he and Shangguan Qing truly achieved a perfect harmony of ice and fire.
