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

86: Chapter 86 The Golden Core Path Leads to Success!Moments later, Jade Slips flew back to the Profound Ice Palace like swallows returning to their nest, floating before Su Muxue.

She extended her slender jade finger and tapped the first Jade Slip.

A vast stream of information instantly flooded into her Sea of Consciousness.

”Li Yifei, Outer Sect Disciple, rose to prominence with his Alchemy talent, took in several destitute female cultivators...”

”Joined the Profound Ice Palace, was granted Yifei Peak, and brought all his Dao Companions up the mountain that same day...”

”Using second-rank perfect quality Medicinal Pills as payment, he recruited beautiful Inner Sect female cultivators to fill his harem...”

”The number of female cultivators on Yifei Peak has exceeded a hundred; with revelry every night, the Spiritual Qi fluctuations have never ceased...”

”Alchemy Pavilion Elder Yun Hua was severely injured; her niece Yue Chaner sought help from Li Yifei, and the two have since stayed on Yifei Peak without coming out...”

”Several female cultivators from Yifei Peak have successfully reached Foundation Establishment; upon investigation, all achieved flawless First-Grade Dao Foundations!”

As the information continued to pour in, Su Muxue’s expression shifted from its initial coldness to shock, then to disbelief, and finally into a deep, heavy silence.

After processing all the information, even with her tranquil Dao Heart, she had to admit that her only male Disciple was simply a complete and utter Prodigy!

Absurd! It was utterly absurd!

Yet, behind this absurdity were solid, startling results.

She recalled the state of those five Disciples earlier.

Chu Xiao Xiao’s Sword Intent was purer, and her cultivation had broken through; Mu Xiaoyu and Chen Guoguo had forged the First-Grade Dao Foundations she herself envied; the sisters Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingxue had both broken through... Not only did they not lose their Foundation due to the loss of Primordial Yin, but each of them had gained immense benefits.

Connecting the ”First-Grade Dao Foundation” mentioned in the intelligence, a clear logical chain formed in Su Muxue’s mind.

”perfect quality foundation establishment pills, combined with a Dual Cultivation Technique that can significantly purify spiritual power...” she murmured to herself.

Only the combination of these two could explain how those female cultivators with mediocre Aptitude could forge legendary First-Grade Dao Foundations.

Her apprentice not only possessed world-shaking Alchemy skills but also mastered a Heaven-Defying Dual Cultivation Secret Tome.

”It is... a very practical ability.”

Su Muxue unconsciously uttered this evaluation. As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze, and a blush of shame and annoyance appeared on her face. How could she praise such absurd and ridiculous behavior?

No!

Suddenly, a thought struck her mind like lightning, making her realize a crucial, most vital question that had been overlooked!

She stood up abruptly, and for the first time, true horror showed in her cold phoenix eyes.

The female cultivators who dual-cultivated with that wicked Disciple all improved greatly with stable Foundations.

As the core of all this, the leader of that Heaven-Defying technique, the ”giver”... how much of a terrifying boost would he himself receive?!

”Nearly a hundred Qi Refining Stage female cultivators, many of whom possess Spiritual Roots...”

”Five exceptionally talented Personal Disciples...”

”Plus his own True Spirit Root talent...”

A storm raged in Su Muxue’s heart; a terrifying guess that made her own heart race surfaced.

That little Disciple who, in her impression, was still at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer or at most Qi Refining Perfection—what level had his true cultivation reached now?

With his True Spirit Root Aptitude and this cheating-like cultivation method, drawing Primordial Yin Power from nearly a hundred female cultivators...

”He... must have reached Foundation Establishment long ago!”

Su Muxue’s breathing quickened slightly.

She even boldly guessed that the ”important juncture” Li Yifei was currently tackling in seclusion was not a Qi Refining Bottleneck at all, but... consolidating his newly broken-through Foundation Establishment Realm!

However, even with such a bold deduction, Su Muxue still far underestimated the truth.

It was understandable that she guessed wrong.

After all, she did not know of the existence of the ”Many Children, Many Blessings System,” nor did she know that Li Yifei’s talent had already been stacked to an unthinkable level by the Spiritual Root feedback from dozens of offspring.

In her view, for Li Yifei to quietly reach Foundation Establishment through Dual Cultivation was already the limit.

How could she imagine that her ”dear Disciple” was currently preparing to charge toward the Golden Core Great Dao that has blocked countless Prodigies!

Inside the Quiet Room of Yifei Peak’s main Peak.

Li Yifei sat cross-legged, his aura having already reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

His dark gold magic power was as thick as mercury; in the center of his Dantian Qi Sea, a tiny vortex rotated slowly but firmly, absorbing and exhaling magic power as if brewing a startling transformation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flipped his wrist, and a golden pill flowing with perfect Pill Veins appeared in his palm—it was the System reward, the third-rank perfect golden essence pill.

This pill’s nature was mild, without a trace of Impurities or pill toxins; it was a Divine Grade item for charging toward the Golden Core Great Dao.

”Phew...”

Li Yifei took a deep breath to calm his mind.

He knew that Breakthroughs in major Realms were never achieved instantaneously.

They required the consumption of massive amounts of Spiritual Qi and subjected the Physical Body and Soul to a double baptism.

He swallowed the golden origin pill in one gulp!

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a vast golden torrent that instantly rushed into his Dantian.

TheMagnificent medicinal power was like a river bursting its banks, surging violently through his limbs and bones as if it were going to tear him apart!

An ordinary person facing such violent medicinal power would likely have exploded and died long ago, but within Li Yifei’s body, there was the Chaos blood and Qi cultivated from the Nine Revolutions Chaos Body Refining Art protecting him.

This ancient and powerful blood and Qi was like a bottomless abyss, crazily devouring and refining the violent medicinal nature of the golden origin pill.

The medicinal power was quickly guided, surging into the Dantian to clash and merge with the liquid magic power.

The vortex in the Dantian Qi Sea rotated faster and faster, letting out a rumbling roar as if opening a brand-new world.

Meanwhile, to ensure the secrecy and smoothness of the Breakthrough process, Li Yifei had already activated Yifei Peak’s Third-Rank Grand Formation to its limit.

With a thought, countless Low-Grade Spirit Stones flew out from his storage ring, falling like raindrops into the Formation nodes throughout the Quiet Room.

Hum!

The grand Formation was instantly activated; invisible Spiritual Qi chains extended from the depths of the Void Realm, pulling in all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within miles to form an invisible Spiritual Qi funnel that continuously poured into the Quiet Room.

To avoid the Spiritual Qi phenomenon drawing attention, Li Yifei even spared no expense in using more Spirit Stones to bolster the Formation’s restraining power, constraining all the surging Spiritual Qi within the Quiet Room without a single trace leaking out.

The massive Spiritual Qi and the medicinal power of the golden origin pill intertwined, creating massive waves within the Dantian Qi Sea.

Li Yifei’s consciousness was completely immersed, guiding this power to compress, refine, re-compress, and re-refine the liquid magic power!

Time seemed to lose all meaning.

His magic power gradually changed from liquid to semi-solid, and then to completely solid.

Under the endless pressure and tempering, that tiny vortex gradually shrank into a point of light the size of a fingernail.

This point of light no longer rotated, but instead emitted a light that was ancient, heavy, yet contained endless vitality.

The point of light was constantly transforming, with profound patterns surfacing on its layer, like a miniature star or a solidified Dao Fruit.

It continued to collapse inward until it reached the limit, and finally, with a ”crack,” it was as if some kind of shackle had been completely broken!

Rumble—

This time, it was not a magic power impact, but a tremor from the depths of the Soul!

Li Yifei’s Sea of Consciousness was infinitely expanded at this moment; his Divine Sense was like a wild horse off its tether, instantly breaking through the Quiet Room and the grand Formation, spreading across the entire Qingyun Sect!

He saw the perennial snow on the main Peak, the continuous mountain ranges outside the Sect, and the vast earth in the distance... everything became vividly clear, as if the entire world had become an extension of his body!

His Divine Sense retracted and returned to the Dantian.

In the originally empty Qi Sea, a round Golden Core shining with dark gold light was now suspended!

On the Golden Core, three faint Pill Veins were faintly visible; its quality had remarkably reached the level of a First-Grade Golden Core!

Foundation Establishment Perfection, a ranked Golden Core!

Early Golden Core Stage!
