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

100: Chapter 10 Nascent Soul Battle PuppetThe first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds and the window lattice, casting mottled shadows in the quiet cultivation room.

A night of absurdity, or rather, a night of ”sword technique” exchange and instruction, finally came to an end.

Jade Purity Cold lay on her side on the soft brocade couch, fast asleep.

Her cold and beautiful face had shed its usual arrogance and sharpness, with a hint of lingering fatigue between her brows.

There were even faint tear stains at the corners of her eyes, yet they strangely smoothed out in her sleep, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, appearing exceptionally serene.

On her snow-white skin, spots of crimson ”sword marks” were faintly visible, indicating the intensity of last night’s ”cultivation.”

Li Yifei sat by the couch, looking at her with a calm expression.

This Second Senior Sister, who was once high and mighty, cold as the peak of a snowy mountain, had now become a part of his territory.

Her sword heart was completely shattered last night, but under his ”guidance,” she caught a glimpse of vitality amidst the ruin.

Her sword dao, which was too rigid and prone to breaking, had its path truly opened only after integrating the ”softness” and ”life” of the extreme Yang.

With a flick of his finger, two exquisite jade bottles appeared silently and were gently tucked into Jade Purity Cold’s warm clothes, which still carried her body heat and a scent of orchids mixed with sweat.

One bottle was a ”Rank 2 Perfect Grade Realm-Breaking Pill” to help her stabilize her current Realm and Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

The other bottle was a ”Rank 3 perfect golden essence pill” prepared for her to charge towards the Golden Core Great Dao.

Everything was ready; once this Second Senior Sister woke up, the Profound Ice Palace would gain another quasi-Golden Core True Person.

After finishing all this, Li Yifei immersed his mind into his Sea of Consciousness to check the generous rewards issued by the System when he bound Jade Purity Cold last night.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully binding a Dao Companion: Jade Purity Cold (Heavenly Spiritual Root)!】

【Binding rewards are being issued...】

【1. Reward of 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.】

【2. Reward of a Rank 4 High Grade Puppet: ‘Primordial Spirit War Puppet · Tiangang’.】

【3. Reward of a Rank 4 Low Grade Magic Treasure: ‘Void Displacement Plate’.】

【4. Reward of a Rank 4 Medium Grade Trapping Formation: ‘Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Dragon-Locking Formation Map’.】

【5. Reward of a Rank 4 Medium Grade Magic Treasure: ‘Ten Thousand Flowers Soul-Bewildering Canopy’.】

The corner of Li Yifei’s mouth involuntarily curled into a satisfied arc.

The rewards for a Heavenly Spiritual Root were indeed very satisfying.

His Divine Thought swept over these rewards one by one.

The 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones went without saying; it was standard procedure.

But the second reward made his breath hitch.

【Primordial Spirit War Puppet · Tiangang】: A war Puppet forged from ancient profound gold and stellar meteoric iron.

Its body is engraved with 3,600 Formation runes, and its core is driven by a complete Demon Nascent Soul, possessing terrifying combat power comparable to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

This Puppet feels no pain, fears no death, and is absolutely loyal, making it the most perfect Dao Protector and killing machine.

With a thought from Li Yifei, a humanoid Puppet over ten feet tall appeared in his storage space.

The Puppet was dark gold all over, with rigid and smooth lines, exuding a sense of power.

Its surface was covered with mysterious and complex runes; its eyes were closed and its face expressionless, yet it naturally emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

Just a Divine Thought probe could sense the terrifying power contained within its body, enough to tear the sky apart.

“Middle Stage Nascent Soul combat power...” Li Yifei murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with intense light. “It seems my plan can be greatly accelerated.”

With this ‘Tiangang’ war Puppet as a trump card, he now had the strength to flip the table in the Qingyun Sect, and even the entire Cangnan Cultivation World!

Next, he looked at the third reward.

【Void Displacement Plate】: A palm-sized circular jade plate engraved with spatial Dao runes.

After recognizing its Revered Master with a drop of blood, its power can be activated. It can perform three instantaneous displacements within a hundred miles daily, consuming a significant amount of spiritual power.

It can also unfold a ten-zhang Void Realm Domain for hiding and concealment, which cannot be seen through by anything less than a Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Thought.

This was simply a treasure tailor-made for a “stealthy path” Cultivator like him! Whether for fleeing, ambushing, or hiding, it had an irreplaceable role.

Unfortunately, Li Yifei already had an immortal-grade concealment technique—the ‘Illusory God Phantom Art’—so the hiding effect was useless to him.

The fourth reward was a simple and ancient beast-skin scroll.

【Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Dragon-Locking Formation Map】: A Formation map for a Rank 4 Medium Grade trapping Formation.

One only needs to arrange nine Formation Flags and eighty-one Formation Plates to set up this Formation.

This Formation focuses on trapping without taking lives; once activated, it can seal the Void Realm and imprison spiritual power. Even an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it impossible to escape once caught inside.

A hint of playfulness flashed in Li Yifei’s eyes. This Formation was simply tailor-made for “inviting guests to dinner.”

The last Magic Treasure was a magnificent gauze canopy, shimmering with light and embroidered with exotic flowers and rare herbs.

【Ten Thousand Flowers Soul-Bewildering Canopy】: Woven from Heavenly Illusion Silkworm Silk and refined with the pollen of a hundred types of soul-bewildering spiritual flowers.

Once unfolded, it can cover a radius of a hundred zhang. Those inside the canopy can calm their minds, their cultivation speed slightly increases, and their personal charm is magnified. When facing enemies, the canopy emits invisible and colorless soul-bewildering pollen, causing the enemy’s mind to wander, fall into illusions, and significantly reduce their combat power.

This was simply a perfect harem Domain-type Magic Treasure! Not only could it assist his Dao Companions in cultivation, but it could also serve as a large-scale control weapon at critical moments.

Having inventoried all the rewards, the blueprint in Li Yifei’s heart became increasingly clear.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking down at Yifei Peak shrouded in the dawn, and even further at the entire Qingyun Sect.

“It’s time...”

With a Nascent Soul-level combat power as his trump card, he no longer needed to be as restricted as before.

The first step was to completely integrate the entire Qingyun Sect, forging it into an impenetrable fortress!

Now within the Sect, the new Sect Master was his woman, and the two most promising Disciples of the Profound Ice Palace were also in his hands. The general trend of the Sect was already in his grasp.

If there were any uncertain factors left, they were none other than two people.

The first was his Revered Master, Su Muxue, who lived deep within the Profound Ice Palace and whose depths he had yet to probe. However, Li Yifei was not worried.

As long as he waited for Jade Purity Cold to successfully form her core, and all seven Disciples of the Profound Ice Palace lineage became people of his Yifei Peak, he would like to see how that Revered Master would feel then.

Presumably, she would make a wise choice.

The other was that mysterious and charming “Succubus Fairy,” Luo Hongchen.

This woman had a profound cultivation and unpredictable thoughts; as long as he controlled her, the Qingyun Sect would be as solid as a rock.

“It seems it’s time to find an opportunity to ‘invite’ Junior Martial Uncle Luo to Yifei Peak for a good cup of tea and a talk about life and ideals.” A hint of coldness flashed in Li Yifei’s eyes.

At that time, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Dragon-Locking Formation would come in handy.
