2: Chapter 2 System and Immortal-Rank Dual Cultivation Technique

[Ding! Activation progress 10%, many children, many blessings system officially activated!]

[Core rules of this System: Many children many blessings, spreading the lineage, the Family rises, the Host ascends!]

[1. Dao Companion Binding Reward: Successfully bind with a Dao Companion possessing a Spiritual Root to receive System rewards based on their talent.]

[2. Offspring Birth Reward: When a Dao Companion gives birth to an offspring, receive System rewards based on the offspring's talent. Rewards include but are not limited to: Divine Abilities, Cultivation Techniques, absolutely loyal Spirit Beasts, Spirit Stones, and Heaven And Earth Treasures.]

[3. Core Feedback Mechanism: 10% of all offspring's Spiritual Roots and cultivation will be losslessly stacked onto the Host himself!]

10% of offspring's Spiritual Root and cultivation stacked?!

Seeing this last rule, Li Yifei's heart throbbed violently! This was even more Heaven-Defying than he had imagined!

Before he could continue marveling, System prompts sounded one after another.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully bound the first Dao Companion. Congratulations Host, you have received one Newbie Gift Pack!]

[Distributing rewards...]

Li Yifei took a deep breath, suppressing his racing heart.

He had waited a full year for this moment!

A year ago, he was just an obscure Outer Sect Disciple, until he awakened the memories of his past life.

Awakening along with his memories was this mysterious System. However, at that time, the System only had a cold activation progress bar that grew at a snail's pace.

To survive in this world of cultivation where human life was as cheap as grass, he relied on his past life's knowledge of chemistry to perform a series of "modernized" improvements on the purification and reaction processes of Alchemy.

Through this exploration, he forcibly raised the success rate and quality of refining low-rank pills by a level, earning him the hollow title of "Alchemy Genius" and barely managing to gain a foothold in the outer Sect.

But only he knew how precarious this "Genius" title was. Without a real Golden Finger, his bit of cleverness was not worth mentioning before the true Dao of cultivation. He walked every step with fear and trepidation, deeply afraid that his secret would be discovered one day.

Not until a few days ago, when the System activation progress finally reached 10%, did he learn that this was a "Many Children Many Blessings" System. It required him to become Dao Companions with a woman possessing a Spiritual Root and complete Dual Cultivation to fully activate it.

Thus, tonight's carefully planned "transaction" took place.

Now, all the endurance and waiting had finally yielded rewards!

With a thought, he quickly checked the reward contents.

[Congratulations Host for obtaining the Immortal-Rank Cultivation Technique: "Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon"!]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining the Ancient Secret Art: "Nine Revolutions Chaos Body Refining Art"!]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining Profession Empowerment: Third-Rank Perfect Grade Alchemy (including theory, experience, and techniques)!]

A stream of information flooded into Li Yifei's mind like a torrent.

In an instant, countless profound pieces of knowledge regarding Alchemy took root and sprouted in his memory. Micro-manipulation of fire control, the Fusion of medicinal properties, the timing of pill formation—those problems that had troubled him for so long now became as simple and clear as a child's arithmetic.

He felt as if his hands had undergone thousands of refinements; even if he were given a Third-Rank Pill Formula he had never seen before, as long as the Materials and spiritual energy were sufficient, he was confident he could refine a perfect quality Medicinal Pill!

Immediately after, two completely different forces were born out of thin air within his body.

One was warm and mellow, traveling through his Meridians; it was the sign of the "Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon" operating automatically.

The bout of passion with Lin Qingxue just now was actually being converted into solid cultivation. A strand of pure Primordial Yin Power, mixed with Lin Qingxue's own spiritual energy, was gently refined by the Secret Tome and poured continuously into Li Yifei's entire body.

Li Yifei felt the originally rock-solid Qi Refining Fourth Layer Bottleneck within his body begin to shake violently under the washing of this power, emitting a "crack" of shattering.

Now or never!

He immediately guided this massive energy to strike at his cultivation barrier.

Boom!

An aura far more powerful than before quietly erupted within him, and was then immediately restrained within his Dantian by his powerful control, without leaking a single bit.

Qi Refining Fifth Layer!

Success!

Even more miraculous was that he could sense this technique caused no loss to Lin Qingxue; instead, a gentle Yang Qi was feeding back, nourishing her Foundation. This undoubtedly lessened many of his moral burdens for his future "expansion plan."

The other force was extremely domineering; it was the "Nine Revolutions Chaos Body Refining Art."

This Cultivation Technique did not Cultivate spiritual energy but only refined the Physical Body. According to the technique's general outline, upon reaching Major Achievement, one could transform their body into Chaos, be immune to all arts, and achieve Rebirth from a single drop of blood!

Its cultivation method was even more simple and crude: devouring! It could devour all the violent energies of the world—whether it was lightning, earth fire, or the demonic power within a Yao Beast's inner core—and refine them all into the purest Blood-Qi Power to temper oneself.

At this moment, this power was lurking deep within his flesh and blood like a sleeping Vicious Beast, greedily devouring the surrounding stray Spiritual Qi and strengthening his skin, membranes, and bones.

"Is this what it feels like to be a cheater?"

Li Yifei looked at his hands, his lips curling into an irrepressible joy, but this joy was soon masked by his habitual caution.

He turned to look at the sleeping Lin Qingxue beside him, his gaze becoming deep and complex.

The System was named "Many Children Many Blessings"; as the name implied, the more Dao Companions and offspring he had, the more terrifying his rewards and cultivation feedback would be. Lin Qingxue was just the beginning.

"Qingxue, since you've entrusted your future to me, I shall grant you a lifetime of stability," Yifei whispered in his heart as he gently stroked her hair. "In return, you will also become the first cornerstone on my path to the great dao of longevity."

With this Third-Rank Perfect Grade Alchemy, his previous "Genius" persona was now completely solidified, and he could even go a step further. In this outer Sect, and even the entire Sect, Medicinal Pills were always the hard currency.

As long as there was a steady stream of Medicinal Pills, why worry about lacking resources? Why worry about lacking Dao Companions?

A blueprint for a plan was rapidly forming in Li Yifei's mind.

He would use the pills in his hands to weave a vast web of interests.

Those newly entered Junior Sisters, who came from poor backgrounds but had decent Aptitude, were just like Lin Qingxue right now—drifting and helpless in the cruel cultivation world.

As long as he reached out his hand, gave a little sweetness, and provided a seemingly warm harbor, they would throw themselves into his embrace like moths to a flame.

This wasn't deception; it was a "win-win."

He would give them the resources for survival and protection, and they would bring him System rewards and cultivation feedback.
