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

121: Chapter 121 Sect Master and Holy Maiden Captured in One FleetIn the eyes of Righteous Path Cultivators, they are heterodox; but in the eyes of some Demonic Path Cultivators who practice special Cultivation Techniques, they are the world’s top and most tempting cultivation resources!

In an instant, dusty memories flooded back.

Hundreds of years ago, the Hehuan Sect had also encountered a disaster of total destruction.

At that time, several major Righteous Path Sects, under the banner of ”defending the Dao and eliminating demons,” actually coveted the Hehuan Sect’s Cultivation Technique and members, and joined forces to besiege them.

That battle was fought until the sky and earth grew dark, and the sun and moon lost their light. The Hehuan Sect was almost wiped out.

The reason it survived in the end was, firstly, because several major demonic Sects sensed a crisis—if the Hehuan Sect were destroyed, they might be next—so they stepped in to help, forming a strange ”Righteous-Demonic” Alliance against another group of Righteous Path Sects.

Secondly, it was also because some Righteous Path female Cultivator Sects, such as ”Hundred Flowers Valley” and ”Xuanyu Sect,” worried that the Hehuan Sect’s Dual Cultivation secret methods would fall into the hands of those hypocrites, causing all female Cultivators in the world to suffer and become their cauldrons. Thus, they secretly lent a helping hand and mediated, preserving the Hehuan Sect’s Legacy.

But what about this time?

Sect Master Luo Shuixin’s heart turned cold.

Those major demonic Sects are selfish. Now that the Demonic Path is powerful, they probably can’t wait to see the Hehuan Sect annexed and will never help again.

And those Righteous Path female Cultivator Sects—now that the Righteous Path Alliance is stable and they have the Alliance for protection—surely won’t offend this mysterious and terrifying force with an unknown background for the sake of the ill-reputed Hehuan Sect.

No strong reinforcements within, tigers and wolves without.

My Hehuan Sect... is in peril!

Despair flooded in like a tide, nearly drowning her.

But as a Sect Master, she forced herself to calm down, racking her brains to find the last sliver of possibility.

”Senior!” she spoke again, her voice tinged with a hint of pleading. ”My Hehuan Sect’s core Cultivation Technique, the Profound Maiden Pure Heart Sutra, forbids losing one’s virginity after cultivation. Otherwise, one’s cultivation will regress significantly and their Foundation will be damaged, which would be harmful rather than beneficial to Senior’s cultivation!”

”But... but if Senior truly needs it, my Sect still has thousands of Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples who have not practiced the core Cultivation Technique and whose primordial yin is intact. As long as Senior can leave the Hehuan Sect a way to live, these people... Senior may pluck and supplement from them as you please!”

Saying these words almost drained all her strength.

This was no different from cutting one’s own flesh to feed a tiger or drinking poison to quench thirst. But to save the ”core” of the Sect, she had no choice.

Of course, in her heart, even some less important core members could be sacrificed if necessary.

Now, it was just the beginning of the bargaining.

However, the young man just listened quietly, his cold eyes showing no emotion.

He slowly shook his head.

”Your core Cultivation Technique is no hindrance to me.”

Before his voice had even faded, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

Not good!

Alarm bells rang in Sect Master Luo Shuixin’s heart. She instinctively tried to circulate her remaining Spiritual Qi to retreat.

But it was too late.

Her body, due to exhaustion and the backlash of the medicine, couldn’t keep up with the reaction speed of her Divine Soul.

A black shadow appeared at her side like a ghost. A slender yet powerful hand, carrying an irresistible force, lightly pressed onto her fragrant shoulder.

At that moment, a burst of extremely pure Spiritual Qi surged into her body, overrunning her weak resistance and instantly sealing her Meridians!

Sect Master Luo Shuixin let out a muffled groan, her body going limp as she collapsed toward the ground.

Before she fell completely unconscious, the young man’s cold voice clearly entered her ears.

”I can only guarantee that your lives will be safe.”

...

The valley returned to silence.

The young man, carrying the limp Sect Master Luo Shuixin with one hand, walked slowly to the edge of the massive crater.

”What a pity.”

A raspy voice tinged with a bit of regret drifted up from the bottom of the crater.

Strands of black energy, finer than hair, slowly seeped from the soil at the bottom of the crater, gathering and writhing in mid-air before finally re-coalescing into the form of the Old Man in Black Robe.

Li Yifei’s Second Incarnation appeared again, completely unharmed, without even a trace of having been in a battle.

He brushed off non-existent dust and complained, ”I put on such a big show, chasing and fleeing, even tanking the ’Phoenix Strike Talisman,’ only to lure out one Late Stage Golden Core. The remaining two Golden Cores of the Hehuan Sect are far too patient, aren’t they?”

”They didn’t receive a distress signal, so naturally, they wouldn’t come out,” the youth’s Incarnation replied flatly.

”True.” The Old Man in Black Robe nodded, then turned his gaze toward the unconscious Sect Master Luo Shuixin and the nearby Gu Qingcheng, chuckling, ”Still, the harvest is quite good. A Sect Master and a Saintess—both are top-tier!”

The youth ignored his weird laughter, simply reaching out his other hand and lightly tapping the foreheads of Sect Master Luo Shuixin and Gu Qingcheng with his fingertips.

Two incredibly complex black soul seals, condensed from pure Divine Soul power, flashed and vanished, imprinting themselves deep within their Sea of Consciousness.

Soul-Snatching Heart-Controlling Great Art!

From now on, the lives and honor of these two most noble women of the Hehuan Sect would depend entirely on a single thought from Li Yifei.

”Done.” The youth withdrew his hand after finishing. ”Now, the Hehuan Sect’s Sect Master, Saintess, and those two Saintess Candidates are all under control.”

”Only one Elder at the Mid-stage Golden Core and one remaining Elder at the Early Golden Core Stage are left,” he said slowly, his tone calm as if stating a trivial matter.

The Old Man in Black Robe let out a sinister laugh and added, ”With the Hehuan Sect’s Sect Master, Sect Master Luo Shuixin, personally leading the way, those two old hags will be like turtles in a jar—nothing to worry about!”

...

Inside the secret chamber of the main peak’s Immortal Cave on Yifei Peak.

Spiritual Qi was as thick as mist, refreshing the soul.

Li Yifei sat cross-legged, a satisfied smile on his face.

He gently stroked the perfect faces of the two stunning girls before him, who were still unconscious and bound by Spiritual Qi Restrictions.

They were precisely the two Hehuan Sect Saintess Candidates, Bai Youwei and Chu Yao.

Just now, the First Incarnation responsible for bringing them back had quietly returned to the Pill Refining Room.

Continuing to play the role of the diligent ”Alchemy Genius” who dedicated himself to the Sect, without raising any suspicion.

And the battle situation in the valley was also transmitted to his mind in real-time.

”The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Sect Master Luo Shuixin... Gu Qingcheng... soon, you too will become the cornerstones for the Li family’s expansion.”

Li Yifei’s gaze fell back upon the two beautiful bodies before him.

Bai Youwei had a pure, doll-like face, yet her figure was shockingly explosive. Even while unconscious, her brows were slightly furrowed, carrying a hint of pitiableness.

Chu Yao was seductive and glamorous, with a body like a water snake; that extreme waist-to-hip ratio was enough to drive any man wild.
