Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

It was twenty years ago when I first settled in the Immortal City that I often heard people talk about the Peach Blossom Fairy from the Spring Breeze Building.

Duanmu Qin, as the top musician of the Spring Breeze Building, only provides her service on the top floor for a maximum of five days a month, each song lasting two hours, charging five hundred spirit stones.

Most of the time, people only hear her music but do not see her.

However, her skill to cleanse one’s soul with melody is renowned, with the longest reservation queue once reaching half a year.

Many cultivators preparing to break through to Foundation Establishment, especially those feeling their heart nature lacking after defying their heart demon oath, must invite the Peach Blossom Fairy to play a song to gain confidence for their breakthrough.

It’s rumored that even a Hall Master from the Biyun Sect preparing for Core Formation sought the Peach Blossom Fairy to purify their heart.

When Li Ji’an first heard of this, aside from being secretly astonished and lamenting his own poverty, he did not quite understand such behaviors, even once assuming it was a self-inflating means like those of brothels in the Mortal Realm.

However, as his stay in the Immortal City prolonged, he truly understood.

It was at that time that he thoroughly revised his concepts about brothels in the Mortal Realm and men and women relationships.

In the Cultivation Realm, matters between men and women are not as complex as those in the Mortal Realm. After all, there’s no notion of male superiority, only the respect for the strong.

Whoever is stronger is the senior, regardless of gender.

As for emotions, they are rarely as complicated as those in the Mortal Realm; most are for mutual growth along the path of the Dao.

It can be said that love between men and women in the Cultivation Realm is rarer than the opportunity for Core Formation.

Being able to converse, having exchanges at the same level, and being able to support each other in advancement is a rare Dao companionship.

As for dual cultivation, it is sixty percent cultivation, thirty percent mental relaxation, and only ten percent physical pleasure.

In this aspect, Li Ji’an is somewhat unaccustomed. He prefers the pure experience of mental and physical unity, not wanting it mixed with other things. He considers this behavior more as a hobby, a pleasure, bringing him joy from the heart, rather than a task, work, or cultivation method.

This is also the reason why he has not yet practiced any dual cultivation secret technique.

Returning his thoughts, Li Ji’an had a smile on his face, looking at Duanmu Qin as her veil slipped, soon revealing her true appearance.

He hadn’t expected such a day would come, firstly due to lack of such thoughts, and secondly because Duanmu Qin’s status indeed felt unattainable.

The veil slipped away, leaving Duanmu Qin’s face uncovered.

As she turned, there was a hint of surprise in Li Ji’an’s eyes.

The veil was below the eyes, so Li Ji’an was familiar with her eyes.

Yet at this moment, when those already very familiar eyes harmonized with the charming face, the proud nose, and the honey-like lips, the charm it revealed astounded Li Ji’an.

It seemed that only when paired with her face could these alluring fox-like eyes reveal their true essence.

If not for many records asserting that the entire Celestial Cyan Domain, and even the entire Great Marsh Realm absolutely had no demon race, Li Ji’an would truly have thought she was a seductive fox spirit.

Too enchanting!

Especially with her waist as graceful and soft as flowing water, and the appealing curve, saying she was a Saintess of the Fox Race, Li Ji’an wouldn’t doubt it.

Li Ji’an’s breath slightly paused, feeling a hint of inexplicable impulse.

”This is...” Noticing the anomaly in his heart nature, Li Ji’an bit his tongue tip lightly, regaining a touch of clarity.

Eyes brimming with peach blossoms, a body harboring seductive bones?

No wonder she specifically highlighted beforehand not to harbor other thoughts afterward.

Indeed, she was confident enough about herself.

She had the qualifications for such confidence.

However, it wasn’t solely beauty that mattered, but mainly her special physique.

”Li Lang, is Qin’Er beautiful?” With a lazy glance, Duanmu Qin’s lips curved, her voice alluring to the core.

”Truly an immortal descending to the earthly realm!” Li Ji’an sat up straight like a grand figure.

”Hehe~” Duanmu Qin chuckled charmingly, her spinning figure halted, lightly flinging her silk boots as her delicate feet wrapped in ice silk socks stepped onto the jade floor, approaching slowly.

With each step, the pale purple gauzy dress embroidered with silver threads slid down an inch.

Her exquisite figure, enchanting posture was about to fully reveal itself.

When nearly a step away, only a burdened crimson bustier and short white underpants remained.

Most eye-catching was the navel on her charmingly graceful waist, adorned with twin purple-gold tassels, swaying lightly with each step like the caudal fin of koi swimming elegantly under the moonlight.

”Please, cherish...”

One hour later.

On the warm jade bed, the Peach Blossom Fairy’s face was flushed, her eyes no longer held enchantment, seeming both resentful and appreciative.

Li Ji’an felt relaxed in mind and body, feeling good.

”Li Lang, why didn’t you use a dual cultivation secret technique?” Duanmu Qin lay beside Li Ji’an, her white fingers tracing circles on his chest.

She had just experienced extreme pleasure, primarily due to mental communion aside from the physical physiological response.

Because everything just now lacked other mixtures, remaining pure.

This gave her an unexpected surprise.

The reason she ultimately chose to cooperate with Li Ji’an, aside from detailed observation over the years, scrutinizing with time to ascertain his character and heart nature, was actually another key point.

Her physique is special; if she encounters a villain, she might be imprisoned as a furnace cauldron to be drained clean.

But as for Li Ji’an, his cultivation is not as high as hers, his background just a small Foundation Establishment Clan in the Desert, and a senior servant from the Nine Tripods Commerce Association unable to interfere with local affairs, making his interactions simple and clean.

Of course, having the ability to obtain a large number of Breaking Ban Talismans was also crucial.

She chose to have an intimate moment with Li Ji’an not only due to mutual affection but also as a form of reassurance for Li Ji’an.

To hand such leverage to him at least could alleviate his doubts about the opportunity, enhancing mutual trust.

Yet during the thorough communion just now, astonishingly, he truly sought pure pleasure and did not utilize a dual cultivation secret technique.

Li Ji’an glanced at her with a smile, not wanting to deceive her: ”Didn’t expect to encounter the fairy so soon, haven’t had the chance to study it yet.”

He didn’t want any misunderstandings.

”Haven’t studied it?” Duanmu Qin was quite surprised.

As her eyes turned gracefully, a smile of comprehension dawned.

”Li Lang, don’t forget what I specifically mentioned beforehand.”

”Hahaha, fairy has misunderstood. Li really hasn’t studied it yet, you can rest assured, Li is not one to be tenacious and clingy, we will always remain pure fellow Daoists.” Li Ji’an reassured her.

”Pure fellow Daoists?” Duanmu Qin’s gaze briefly dimmed, then she smiled radiantly.

”Li Lang is truly a man of his word, very good.”

”With that settled, can we discuss that opportunity now?”

”Of course we can.”

Now Li Ji’an holds the leverage against Duanmu Qin.

And Duanmu Qin also has thorough knowledge of Li Ji’an, with superior combat capability.

”I came to this province fifty years ago for that opportunity.”

”By chance, I acquired an ancient map, on which was marked an ancient cave mansion located deep within the Great Marsh Mountain Range.

But the area is too deep, rampant with demon beasts, and my cultivation is insufficient to take it head-on.

So I settled here, waiting for the opportunity.

Just as I was at my wit’s end, the Biyun Sect accidentally discovered that relic.

I was originally despairing when, ten years ago, I found out that the relic discovered by the Biyun Sect did not cover the cave mansion I knew. They are a hundred miles apart.

To be honest, a few years ago, when the Biyun Sect had conquered the relic, nearby demon beasts fled, allowing me to search for it; the cave mansion is indeed there, yet undiscovered, its restrictions worn by time, now fallen below Tier Three.

With the two of us working together, and having at most twenty second-tier early-period Breaking Ban Talismans, we could break it open.

However, the tricky part now is that due to people’s coveting for the relic excavated by the Biyun Sect two years ago, they expanded their blockade zone, and now that cave mansion is enveloped within the blockade zone.

Though it seems for now, the Biyun Sect’s main excavation focus is still that relic.

But I worry that if one day discovered by the Biyun Sect, there will be no chance at all.” Duanmu Qin lay on Li Ji’an’s chest, explaining sincerely.
