181: Chapter 181: The Breakthrough of the Six Women's Cultivation

"Early Golden Core stage..." He clenched his fists, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

In the past, when facing the Early Golden Core stage, he had to rely on his Physical Body to endure it hard, and rely on the Earth Fire Spirit and Witch Clan Remnant Souls to hold the ground.

But now, just relying on the spiritual power of these two Cultivation Techniques was enough to give someone in the Early Golden Core stage a hard time.

Coupled with the physical strength from the Zu Wu Body Refining Technique, he could literally wear someone in the Early Golden Core stage to death!

Even when reaching the Golden Core Stage, combat was no longer purely supported by spiritual power, but rather by using spiritual power to mobilize Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for battle.

Yet his current spiritual power was definitely above the Early Golden Core stage!

"When all eight attributes are fully cultivated..." He muttered, yearning flashing in his eyes.

Cultivating eight attributes simultaneously, how many times greater would his spiritual power be compared to the same Realm? A hundred times? Hundreds of times?

By that time, even forcibly enduring the Early Nascent Soul stage with the cultivation of Peak Foundation Establishment would not be impossible!

But he quickly shook his head, casting the thought away.

From the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Golden Core, from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage, and from the Late Stage to the Peak, every minor Realm was a qualitative leap.

Going from Golden Core to Nascent Soul was an even greater chasm. Foundation Establishment resisting Nascent Soul? Just think about it, don't take it seriously. Only by being able to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage would one have the capital to contend with the Nascent Soul Stage!

"However..." He grinned, "Being able to endure the mid-to-late Golden Core Stage is already pretty good."

He stood up, looked at the creation cauldron, and then looked at the blood scabs covering his body, deciding to rest for a few days first.

Calculating the time, this Cultivation session should have taken him a full seven days.

"I'll go report that I'm safe to Master first, and by the way..." He touched his chin, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "See if I can leech a bit more Bloodline progress."

He thought of how his Revered Master was currently at the Peak of the Middle Stage of the Golden Core; if he could quickly raise her cultivation to the Late Stage of the Golden Core, then to the Peak of the Golden Core, and then form her Nascent Soul?!

Then... his Bloodline progress should be able to increase to twenty percent! The Zu Wu Body Refining Technique would definitely be able to easily Breakthrough to twenty percent.

Thinking of this, he stood up and pushed open the door of the inner chamber!

Walking into the main hall of the Immortal Cave.

As soon as he stepped out, he froze.

In the adjacent Cultivation Room, six familiar figures were sitting cross-legged, spiritual light flowing around their bodies, obviously Cultivating.

Su Ruotong, Su Li, Ye Qingcen, Luo Ziyan, Liu Qingqing, and Zhou Ruoxi.

The six women sat in a row, with various postures!

Su Ruotong sat upright like a pine, cold and otherworldly;

Su Li's expression was calm, with faint chills circulating around her body;

Although Ye Qingcen had her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth turned slightly upward, wondering what sweet dream she was having;

Luo Ziyan's brows and eyes were gentle, her aura long and steady;

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi sat side by side, their auras close to each other, like twins.

Xiao Yuan stood at the doorway, looking at them, a warm current welling up in his heart.

Ever since he was called away by the Peak Revered Master and stayed there for more than a month, he hadn't seen the six women again.

They probably knew he was busy Cultivating, so they didn't come to disturb him.

Now, guessing they heard he came back from the Peak Revered Master's place, they ran over to see him.

As a result, when he came back, he burrowed into the inner chamber to Cultivate, yet they didn't make a fuss, simply waiting in the adjacent Cultivation Room.

This wait lasted who knows how long.

Xiao Yuan quietly sensed the six women's auras, and his eyes instantly lit up.

Peak Foundation Establishment!

All six of them were at Peak Foundation Establishment! They were only a step away from Core Formation!

Their auras were very solid and almost on par with each other, with at most Su Ruotong being slightly more solid!

After all, her cultivation was inherently higher than the six women's!

"Good fellow..." He muttered, pleasantly surprised in his heart.

When he was Cultivating, they obviously hadn't been idle either, improving along with him.

Especially during Dual Cultivation, that feeling of spiritual power blending and Yin and Yang complementing each other greatly promoted both sides' cultivation.

He hadn't seen them for over a month, yet their cultivation had actually all rushed to Peak Foundation Establishment!

"Looks like I need to prepare Medicinal Pills for Core Formation for them." Xiao Yuan touched his chin, calculating in his heart.

The higher the six women's cultivation, the more benefits the creation cauldron would obtain.

Especially after Dual Cultivation with Golden Core powerhouses, the changes in the creation cauldron were exceptionally obvious... That feeling was like the creation cauldron was repairing itself bit by bit by borrowing the energy of Dual Cultivation.

When repaired to the end, would it recover into the true qiankun cauldron?

That was a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure!

Xiao Yuan got excited just thinking about it. If he could urge the creation cauldron to fight enemies, he was confident in counter-slaying Nascent Soul powerhouses at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

"A golden pill condensation pill..." He muttered, "I must refine it quickly."

Just as he was thinking this, the six women in the Cultivation Room seemed to sense something and opened their eyes in unison.

"Xiao Yuan!" Ye Qingcen was the first to jump up, rushing over in two steps, grabbing his arm, "You're finally out!"

Although Su Li didn't speak, there was light in her eyes as she silently walked to his side.

Su Ruotong stood up, nodded at him, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth. Luo Ziyan's eye sockets turned slightly red, and she softly said: "You've lost weight."

Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi stood at the back; although they didn't squeeze forward, the concern in their eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

Surrounded by the six women, Xiao Yuan was asked one sentence after another from left and right, leaving him overwhelmed.

"Staying at the Peak Revered Master's place for so long, are you tired?"

"Did the Peak Revered Master make things difficult for you?"

"Why are there injuries on your body? Who hurt you?"

They didn't know about the matter between Xiao Yuan and the Peak Revered Master, and Xiao Yuan was too embarrassed to tell them.

This was after all an act of defying one's Revered Master! Although the Peak Revered Master wasn't his direct Revered Master, but... it was pretty much the same!

Xiao Yuan quickly waved his hands: "It's fine, the Peak Revered Master was helping me Cultivate. The injuries on my body were also accidentally caused during Cultivation, and they've already healed."

The six women were half-doubtful, but seeing that his complexion was indeed good, they didn't ask any further.

Ye Qingcen pulled his hand, muttering softly: "You haven't come to find us for over a month, I thought you forgot about us."

Xiao Yuan chuckled, reaching out to rub her hair: "How could that be."

Ye Qingcen blushed, but her mouth wouldn't let up: "Consider that you still have a bit of conscience."

Su Li watched from the side, the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward.

Su Ruotong gave a light cough and looked away. Luo Ziyan lowered her head and snickered. Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing either.

Xiao Yuan looked at the six women, his heart melting with tenderness.

This past month and more, he had indeed neglected them.

"Um..." He gave a dry cough, his gaze sweeping around the six women, "Did you miss me?"

All six women flushed in unison.

Ye Qingcen stubbornly retorted: "Who missed you! We just came to see if you were beaten to death by the Peak Revered Master!"

Su Li didn't speak, but quietly leaned closer to his side.

Su Ruotong turned her face away, her earlobes slightly red. Luo Ziyan lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corner of her clothes. Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi blushed and softly said, "We did."

Xiao Yuan felt so happy inside that bubbles were popping, and he pulled Ye Qingcen into his arms, while also wrapping his arm around Su Li's waist.

"Let's go, let's talk inside the inner chamber."

"In broad daylight—" Before Ye Qingcen finished speaking, she was dragged in by him.

Su Ruotong sighed softly, but still followed inside. Luo Ziyan followed with a blushing face. Liu Qingqing and Zhou Ruoxi glanced at each other and also lowered their heads as they went inside.
