62: Chapter 62 Another Treasure Trove Added: Golden Core Puppet
The cold notification sound of the System rang out in Li Yifei's mind at just the right time.
[Ding! It has been detected that the Host has officially bound a Dao Companion relationship with the Earthly Spiritual Root Cultivator, Shangguan Qing!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the following rewards:]
[Reward 1: Ten thousand Spirit Stones!]
[Reward 2: One Rank 3 Elementary Puppet General, Purple Gold Wolf King! (Early Golden Core Stage combat power)]
[Reward 3: One Rank 3 High Grade Magical Artifact, Light-Chasing Sword!]
[Reward 4: One Rank 3 High Grade Magical Artifact, Ice Soul Divine Light Handkerchief!]
Li Yifei felt a surge of joy; the rewards for an Earthly Spiritual Root truly did not disappoint.
Spirit Stones were standard fare, but the two Rank 3 High Grade Magical Artifacts—the swift and fierce Light-Chasing Sword and the Ice Soul Divine Light Handkerchief, which focused on defense and illusions—were both rare, high-quality items.
The real highlight, however, was that Purple Gold Wolf King Puppet.
This was already the second one!
A single Early Golden Core Stage Puppet was a trump card capable of suppressing an entire region.
Having two meant he now possessed a lethal move that allowed for coordinated attack tactics.
Whether used to draw fire on the frontline or hidden in the shadows to deliver a fatal blow, its strategic value was immeasurable.
"With these two wolf kings, even without including Formations, I'll have the power to fight—and perhaps even hunt—Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators in the future." Li Yifei's heart swelled with excitement.
Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window lattice, the sense of union within the Quiet Room finally began to subside.
Shangguan Qing lay in Li Yifei's arms. Her usually frozen, beautiful face now bore a trace of satisfied flush and bashfulness. Her cold Phoenix eyes held a hint of attachment that she hadn't even noticed herself.
A night of union had not only neutralized her icy Physique with Yang energy but had also allowed this overbearing man to leave an imprint upon her steadfast Dao Heart.
Right then, the massive Spiritual Qi vortex that had persisted for three full days suddenly surged to a peak!
Rumble!
Above Yifei Peak, clouds gathered as an even more colossal Spiritual Qi vortex violently formed! Within this vortex, the faint sound of celestial music could actually be heard!
Throughout the entire Qingyun Sect, the hearts of every Disciple and Elder watching Yifei Peak skipped a beat!
"It's over! Senior Sister Murong Xue's Foundation Establishment is finally about to succeed!"
"This phenomenon is even more terrifying than when it started three days ago! Look, there's actually celestial music playing in the sky!"
"This phenomenon is even greater than Qin Mengyao's back then! Could it be the legendary First-Grade Dao Foundation?!"
Shangguan Qing, still in Li Yifei's arms, was also startled awake. Sensing the vast fluctuations of spiritual power, her cold eyes were filled with shock.
She knew this was the scene of Murong Xue's successful Breakthrough!
Meanwhile, a smile curled at the corners of Li Yifei's mouth.
He understood that Murong Xue had succeeded.
With her Earthly Spiritual Root talent, the effects of the perfect foundation establishment pill, and the tempering of the Grand Ultimate Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Secret Canon, forging a First-Grade Dao Foundation was exactly as he had expected.
The Spiritual Qi vortex lasted for a full hour before slowly dissipating.
The next moment, a fiery red figure rushed out of the Immortal Cave, letting out a burst of charming laughter as she threw herself recklessly toward the Quiet Room where Li Yifei was.
"Husband! Husband! I succeeded! I succeeded!"
The door was pushed open with a clever force, and Murong Xue stood elegantly at the entrance. Her body was shrouded in spiritual light, her Early Foundation Establishment Stage aura was powerful, and her Phoenix eyes shone brilliantly. Her beautiful face was brimming with ecstasy.
She saw Li Yifei on the bed, as well as the equally stunning Shangguan Qing in his arms, but at this moment, there wasn't a hint of jealousy in her heart—only the overwhelming desire to share the joy of her success with him.
"Husband, a First-Grade Dao Foundation! I've forged a First-Grade Dao Foundation!" She rushed to the bedside in a few quick steps, squeezed into Li Yifei's arms, and looked up at him with eyes full of admiration and excitement.
Li Yifei laughed heartily and pinched her nose. "I told you long ago, you're the best."
"Husband, you gave me all of this!" Murong Xue's face flushed with excitement. She wrapped her arms around Li Yifei's neck and gave him a passionate kiss. Then, her beautiful eyes darted around, and with a hint of dominance, she lightly bit his ear and breathed softly:
"Husband, to celebrate and to thank you, you aren't allowed to go anywhere for the next few days. Stay here and let your wife reward you properly!"
Without waiting for Li Yifei's answer, she turned from passive to active, once again igniting his passion.
Beside them, Shangguan Qing watched the fiery Murong Xue. Recalling her own initiative from the previous night, her icy face couldn't help but redden. Yet, she didn't leave; instead, as if possessed, she also joined in.
The plan to meet with the three deacons that day had to be postponed.
For two full days and nights.
Inside the main hall of Yifei Peak, the amorous scene barely ceased.
It wasn't until the third morning, when Li Yifei walked out of the room, that the two peerless beauties in the bedroom had long since fallen into a deep sleep, satisfied smiles still lingering on their lips.
Li Yifei covered them with a silk quilt and calmly straightened his robes, yet he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
Murong Xue's Physique after Foundation Establishment is better than Qin Mengyao's was, and with her Earthly Spiritual Root, her physical stamina should be much stronger. Yet it only lasted two days? She's really a glutton for punishment despite her low stamina.
Shaking his head, he sent a voice transmission to Luo Lingxi, telling her to notify the deacons who had been waiting for a long time that they could come over.
Half an hour later, at the Guest Reception Pavilion.
Li Yifei was leisurely sipping fragrant tea when soon, a woman wearing the robes of a Talisman Hall deacon walked in hurriedly, led by a maidservant.
The newcomer was none other than Gu Manqing.
She had a dignified appearance and could be considered a top-tier beauty. Although there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she was extremely well-maintained; her skin was fair, and her figure hadn't lost its shape from long hours of sitting, instead exuding the unique, plump charm of a mature woman.
Her black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and she wore her deacon robes—the symbol of her status—meticulously. Her entire being radiated an aura of shrewdness and efficiency.
Especially her eyes; they were sharp and spirited, as if she were constantly scrutinizing and calculating something.
"Talisman Hall Deacon Gu Manqing greets Senior Brother Li." She performed a salute, her voice crisp and her speaking pace rapid. "I'm sure Senior Brother knows that the Deacon Hall is busy. Our time is precious, so let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to business, shall we?"
Li Yifei appreciated her directness and smiled. "That suits me perfectly. Senior Sister Gu, please have a seat."
