So what if I have a few billion concubines while I'm cultivating immortality?

Chapter 7 Spiritual roots?

Nearly an hour later.

The hall fell silent.

Luo Qingluan curled up in Qin Xiao's arms, her pretty face as if it were dripping blood.

She pouted, buried her burning cheeks in Qin Xiao's firm chest, and whispered reproachfully, "You, you said it was just a kiss..."

Qin Xiao chuckled lightly: "I said give me a kiss, I didn't say it was just a kiss, and I didn't say it was just a kiss."

"You're... just making excuses..."

Luo Qingluan looked up and glared at Qin Xiao, meeting a pair of amused eyes.

She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in Qin Xiao's mind:

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! Your spiritual power has greatly increased.]

[Current cultivation points: 11805/10000]

[Spiritual energy has met the requirements for Core Formation]

[The host may attempt to condense a golden core at any time!]

"What's going on?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly checked Luo Qingluan's panel.

To my surprise, the panel had changed.

Name: Luo Qingluan

Gender: Female

[Qualifications]: Dual Spiritual Roots of Metal and Water

Metal and Water dual spiritual roots!

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up.

Previously, I only saw the Heavenly Rank and the estimated cultivation value.

Little did they know that Luo Qingluan actually possessed spiritual roots!

No wonder she can provide such a huge amount of cultivation points, far exceeding those of ordinary women!

It turns out that she herself was a one-in-a-million talent for cultivating immortality!

In the past, they were like beggars holding a golden rice bowl, only concerned with casting a wide net.

I had no idea I had such a treasure hidden right next to me!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao hugged Luo Qingluan even tighter, overjoyed!

Luo Qingluan said in a muffled voice, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Can you tell me now? What was the method you used to make me fly here?"

Qin Xiao exclaimed, "Qingluan, this world is far more vast than you imagine!"

Luo Qingluan's voice remained muffled: "What do you mean?"

Qin Xiao seemed to understand something, then said, "I'm not indulging in women; I'm cultivating immortality!"

"Cultivating immortality?"

Luo Qingluan looked up at Qin Xiao, her pretty face filled with astonishment.

"That's right!"

Qin Xiao nodded and explained simply, "It's just like in the legends, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper oneself, seeking immortality and the great supernatural power to move mountains and overturn seas!"

Then, he omitted the existence of the system, only saying that he had entered the path of immortality by chance, "...As for taking concubines, it was not out of lust for their beauty."

"The cultivation method I practice is special, requiring the assistance of pure Yin energy."

"Those concubines entered the palace not to serve the emperor, but simply to reside in the palace."

"The jade beds and chairs in their palace are connected to my cold jade bed, forming an array."

"I can slowly absorb the useless primordial yin energy from their bodies to aid my cultivation."

"If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself."

Luo Qingluan was stunned.

There's too much information to process all at once.

Was the purpose of taking in numerous concubines to cultivate immortality?

This……

real or fake?

Just then, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of crimson on the cold jade bed beneath him.

Her pretty face instantly flushed red, and even her neck turned pink.

"But now..."

Qin Xiao looked at Luo Qingluan and smiled meaningfully, "From now on, there's no need to take any more concubines!"

"Qingluan, you possess spiritual roots, making you a thousand times, a hundred times stronger than them!"

Before he could finish speaking, the system notification sounded again:

【Ding! 】

[Host has met the requirements for Core Formation]

[Successfully achieve Core Formation within one month and receive a Core Formation gift pack!]

Based on the current fluctuations in spiritual energy and the workings of heaven and earth, the optimal time for Core Formation within the next month is as follows...

A series of dates and their corresponding success rates flashed through Qin Xiao's mind.

Qin Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

Indeed, the system can quantify cultivation data.

However, the process of cultivating immortality, especially the crucial bottleneck of forming the core, still requires personal understanding and breakthrough.

If preparations are insufficient, even with enough spiritual energy, the process of forming the core may fail.

Quickly scan the list.

The time was finally set for a specific hour two weeks later.

[On the day of Wuxu, at noon, the success rate of Core Formation is 95%!]

"This is the day!"

Qin Xiao was certain.

Success rate: 95%.

It's almost a sure thing!

Although spiritual practice still depends on oneself.

However, the system's ability to quantify data is also very beneficial!

Just then, Luo Qingluan blinked her beautiful eyes, "And what? Tell me..."

Qin Xiao snapped out of his daze, smiled, and said, "Besides, you possess spiritual roots, so you can also cultivate immortality."

"Can I do it too?"

Luo Qingluan was somewhat incredulous: "So you don't need to take any more concubines from now on. I can help you cultivate immortality, and I can even cultivate immortality myself?"

"clever!"

Qin Xiao praised.

He then patiently explained to Luo Qingluan what spiritual roots and spiritual energy were.

And the basic concepts of cultivating immortality.

Luo Qingluan leaned against Qin Xiao's chest, listening to his story.

A cool current seemed to have entered my body, slowly circulating within me.

Even my senses have become a little more acute.

This strange change coincided with what Qin Xiao had said about "spiritual energy" and "cultivation".

After recounting the story, Qin Xiao copied down the contents of the "Hehuan Immortal Scripture".

It includes basic methods for drawing qi into the body and refining spiritual energy.

And how to operate the body's energy flow and solidify its foundation.

There are also secret techniques that require two people to work together...

Qin Xiao handed Luo Qingluan a copy of the "Hehuan Immortal Scripture," saying, "Qingluan, you possess both metal and water spiritual roots, which is an exceptional talent. Using this method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth first, although it's not as efficient as directly... or as we did just now, it's enough to allow you to enter the Qi Refining stage and lay a foundation. After you successfully guide your Qi and stabilize your realm, we can cultivate together. At that time, it will greatly benefit both of our cultivation."

Luo Qingluan took it, her beautiful eyes gleaming with wonder. "This is the method of cultivating immortality?"

"Well, try to figure it out on your own first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Qin Xiao stroked Luo Qingluan's hair and said, "Remember, at the beginning of cultivation, you must concentrate your mind and guide your spiritual energy step by step. Do not rush it."

Luo Qingluan nodded solemnly and carefully put it away close to her body.

The two lingered tenderly for a long time.

The sun was already setting outside the window.

Although Luo Qingluan was extremely reluctant, she had to go back.

After dressing neatly, she regained her usual dashing appearance.

However, her eyes and brows now held a touch of tenderness, as if she were a newlywed.

The way she looked at Qin Xiao was completely different now.

"I...I'll go back now."

Luo Qingluan's voice was soft and gentle, filled with longing.

"Go, and cultivate diligently."

Qin Xiao smiled and watched Luo Qingluan leave Zichen Palace, turning back every few steps.

The evening breeze caressed my face.
