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

127: Chapter 127 Su Muxue’s Trip to Yifei PeakLast time her Divine Thought swept over, this was merely a top-tier third-Rank defensive Formation.

But now...

The Formation light barrier shrouding the entire mountain peak appeared thin, but in reality, it contained a vast universe within!

Its immense power and the profound circulation of spiritual energy actually made her Golden Core Middle Stage Divine Soul feel a faint, indistinct tremor and pressure!

”A complete... Fourth-rank Killing Formation?”

Su Muxue’s mind experienced a violent fluctuation for the first time.

A complete Fourth-rank Grand Formation capable of trapping and killing a Nascent Soul cultivator! There were only a few Formations of this Rank in the entire Cangnan Continent.

Where on earth did this Li Yifei get such a Heaven-Defying item?!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the stormy waves in her heart, and her figure slowly descended, landing before the mountain gate of Yifei Peak.

She did not force her way in, but merely stood quietly, the terrifying pressure belonging to a Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator subtly spreading out like an invisible iceberg.

Almost the instant her aura appeared, the Mountain-protecting Formation parted like flowing water, forming a gateway.

Li Yifei, dressed in green robes, with a gentle yet respectful smile on his face, personally walked out from within the gate and bowed to Su Muxue from a distance.

”Disciple Li Yifei respectfully greets Revered Master. I apologize for not coming out to meet you when Revered Master honored us with your presence. I hope you will forgive me.”

His attitude was impeccable, showing both the respect of a Junior and the dignified composure of a Peak Revered Master.

Su Muxue’s cold gaze fell upon him, scrutinizing him carefully for a moment.

She spoke indifferently, her voice as clear and cold as ever: ”I’m looking for Luo Hongchen.”

Straight to the point, without any superfluous words.

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei’s face showed a perfectly timed hint of difficulty.

”Reporting to Revered Master, Junior Martial Uncle Hongchen just joined this peak last night. She had a sudden insight and is currently in a Quiet Room in seclusion, consolidating her cultivation. I’m afraid... she’s temporarily unavailable to guests.”

”Seclusion?” Su Muxue’s Phoenix brows slightly raised. She naturally didn’t believe this excuse, only thinking that Li Yifei didn’t want her to see Luo Hongchen.

However, her main purpose for coming today was not actually to trouble that enchantress.

”No matter.” She stepped forward, walking directly into the mountain gate of Yifei Peak, and said in a calm tone: ”Then I will wait for your Junior Martial Uncle to emerge from seclusion. Before that, I will take a stroll around this peak.”

”Disciple obeys.” Li Yifei stepped aside, still wearing that gentle smile, as if he didn’t mind Su Muxue’s

He personally led the way, guiding Su Muxue to the Guest Reception Pavilion at the peak, and served her the finest Spirit Tea.

Su Muxue picked up the teacup, and with just a gentle sniff, the clear yet potent tea fragrance, brimming with vitality, instantly invigorated her spirit.

”Third-Rank Low Grade, Spirit Nourishing Clear Heart Tea?” The unusual look in her eyes intensified.

Even among the treasures of her Profound Ice Palace, there were only a few ounces of Spirit Tea of this Rank, which she usually couldn’t bear to drink.

Yet here on Yifei Peak, it seemed to be merely common fare for guests.

She said nothing more, merely took a shallow sip. At the same time, her vast and cold Divine Sense had already silently covered the entire Yifei Peak like an invisible tide.

Then, she was completely stunned.

What did she see?

She saw hundreds of exquisite Immortal Caves on the peak, almost every one inhabited by a female cultivator. The lowest cultivation of these female cultivators was Late Stage Qi Refining, while the highest had even reached Foundation Establishment.

This was not surprising.

What was strange was that these female cultivators all had pure auras and solid Foundations. The expressions on their faces were not the coldness of arduous cultivation typical of Profound Ice Palace Disciples, but rather a radiance that came from within, full of vitality and happiness.

Her Divine Sense swept over the medicinal garden; the Spirit Medicine there grew remarkably well, and the variety was extensive, with many types she had only seen in ancient texts.

Several beautiful female Disciples were carefully tending to the herb garden, their techniques professional and meticulous.

Her Divine Sense swept over the Pill Refining Room, where more than a dozen female cultivators, under the guidance of a Foundation Establishment Stage Female Steward, were methodically processing Spirit Medicine and refining various Medicinal Pills.

The medicinal fragrance emanating from the Pill Furnaces indicated that the quality was quite high.

Her Divine Sense swept over the Martial Arts Training Ground, where dozens of young female Disciples were sparring with each other in Dao techniques.

Their faces showed no belligerence from fighting, but rather a harmonious atmosphere of mutual improvement.

She even saw a few familiar faces.

These were some Outer Sect Disciples within the Sect who had mediocre Aptitude and had long been given up on. Yet now, not only had they broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but they were also radiant with vitality, and the speed of their cultivation progress was simply astounding!

The entire Yifei Peak was like a massive, precisely operating machine.

Everyone performed their duties, from Cultivation, Alchemy, planting, to daily chores; everything was orderly, filled with vigorous vitality and upward momentum.

This was not the den of iniquity and indulgence she had imagined it to be.

This was clearly an independent kingdom with strict discipline, self-sufficient resources, and terrifying development potential!

Su Muxue’s heart was completely shaken.

She had always believed that her Profound Ice Palace, adhering to the path of elites, with pure hearts, few desires, and continuous arduous cultivation, was the best way to Cultivate powerhouses.

But now, looking at this flourishing and vibrant scene before her, for the first time, she felt a trace of wavering in her own Dao.

Li Yifei’s Dao, though seemingly unorthodox, appeared... more efficient and more popular than her own method.

She remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the Guest Reception Pavilion was quietly oppressive.

Li Yifei did not rush her, merely refilling her tea quietly, as if waiting for this Grandmaster to slowly digest everything she had seen.

Finally, Su Muxue put down her teacup, the bottom of the cup clinking softly against the stone table.

She stood up, no longer looking at Li Yifei, but casting her gaze towards the cloud-shrouded depths of Yifei Peak.

”When she comes out of seclusion, bring her to Profound Ice Palace to see me.”

Her voice was still clear and cold, but compared to when she arrived, it had lost some of its condescending pressure and gained a hint of complex emotion that even she herself hadn’t noticed.

After speaking, she gave Li Yifei no further chance to speak. Her figure flickered, transforming into a white streak of light that shot into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

She left somewhat hastily, as if she were escaping something.

Li Yifei watched the distant streak of light, a meaningful smile slowly curving at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that this aloof, iceberg-like Revered Master, her Dao Heart was already in disarray.

And this was just the beginning.

...

Su Muxue, upon returning to Profound Ice Palace, went directly back to her Ice Palace.

She sat cross-legged again on the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Couch, trying to calm herself down.

But no matter how she circulated her Cultivation Technique, what lingered in her mind was always the vibrant scene on Yifei Peak, the happy and worshipful smiles on the faces of those female Disciples, and that unfathomable Fourth-rank Killing Formation...
