323: False Core Transformation, Cold Moon Divine Power

Dragons are naturally lecherous; it is not for love or desire, but because of their vast essence and energy, which drives them to spread their Bloodline.

"It's said that dragons can have children with any species. I wonder if it's true?"

Unfortunately, Liu Xuan was not a pervert; his aesthetic sense was always that of a normal person. He wouldn't engage in any messy business; at the very least, they had to be a beauty... No time like the present! He would first test if the effects of this true dragon essence blood were actually powerful.

West Courtyard.

Liu Xuan suddenly felt that everyone he looked at was delicate and pretty, thirty percent better-looking than before. Even the first batch of Concubines, who were nearly fifty years old, still appeared to have lingering charm.

In the world of immortal cultivation, as long as one's cultivation reached the Qi Refinement Stage or the Acquired Realm of martial arts, a Cultivator could live to around a hundred and twenty years old. Being fifty and looking like thirty was not considered old.

However, with so many young Junior Sisters, Liu Xuan naturally would not spend much energy on them.

For instance, Lin Anqi's former maids, Xiao Hong, Xiao Ye, and Xiao Lan, as well as Lianer, Meier, Pinger, and others from Yongning City. The favor they received now was more spiritual; their names were rarely called even a few times a year.

They were getting older, and it was difficult for their cultivation to reach Foundation Establishment. Therefore, they spent more energy on raising children and managing businesses. Some voluntarily withdrew behind the scenes and did not participate much in the harem's competition for favor.

The status of the women in the West Courtyard depended first on their cultivation, second on their competence, third on Liu Xuan's affection, and fourth on their children's talent.

The Liu Family had a large business and great assets. As long as one of these aspects was outstanding, they could live very comfortably. Even if they had no ability at all, Liu Xuan would not treat them poorly out of consideration for old times.

By the waterfall pool, Hu Lingzhao was leading seven or eight sisters she was close with to feed the spirit fish in the pool. They were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Hu Lingzhao was young and was the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the West Courtyard with the least airs, making her very popular among the sisters.

"Husband!"

"Greetings, Husband!"

...Seeing Liu Xuan approach, the group offered their greetings. Those who had time to play and frolic were basically those with no power or Junior Sisters who had just entered the sect and were somewhat unfamiliar with Liu Xuan.

"Rise! Come with me; I'll take you to Cultivate."

"Cultivate?"

"Now?"

The women looked at each other. In the West Courtyard, Liu Xuan's schedule had its own set of rules and generally did not change. Moreover, it was currently daytime; did their husband mean what they thought he meant?

Regardless of whether he meant that or not, they would know once they went! Hu Lingzhao led the sisters to follow Liu Xuan... Playing the zither, blowing the flute, tasting tea, singing, and dancing... With so many people, there were even entertaining programs during cultivation; it was truly a grand pleasure of life.

A forest of meat and a pool of wine, the sleeves of Concubines fluttering, decadent music carrying a faint fragrance, and cheerful laughter making one forget their troubles... "I'm already at the Golden Core cultivation level, can't I enjoy myself a little?!!"

Liu Xuan ordered the main hall of the West Courtyard to be renovated and renamed it the Hall of Eternal Joy, specifically for his own enjoyment.

The side effects of the true dragon essence blood caused his desires to become extremely strong.

Thus, he changed the previous rule of choosing names and gave the women of the West Courtyard more care.

A few days later.

The results of his efforts were immediately apparent; a Junior Sister became pregnant.

After that, every ten days to half a month, a Concubine would report the good news of pregnancy. The overall frequency had increased nearly three times compared to before he broke through to the Golden Core!

"As expected of the True Dragon Bloodline; just a sliver of it is so powerful! If I could obtain more..."

It was not that Liu Xuan was greedy, but that the difficulty of conceiving children increased too much after one's cultivation became powerful!

It had been thirty-two years since he came to this world! Liu Xuan had not slacked off for a single day, yet he only had three hundred children, averaging only ten per year.

There were over three hundred women in the West Courtyard. Some Junior Sisters only had their names called once every month or two, and those with poor luck in conceiving had not had a single child even years after entering!

Liu Xuan's abnormality immediately caught the attention of all the women in the West Courtyard. Yue Li, Xiao Ran, Zi Lan, Zi Ling, Lu Ping, Xia He, and Su Wan—these seven Foundation Establishment female cultivators—also joined in one after another.

Chang Dan, Huang Qian, Wu Qingyue, Li Man, Lin Xue'er, Lin Anqi, She Xiaorong, Bai Zhiwei, Qin Yun, Yan Qingyao, Jiang Xiaoyou, Lin Yiyi, Zhang Kexin, Yang Xiaoyun... fully a dozen or so Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators were also preparing to make an all-out effort to charge into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Among them, Zhang Kexin had already reached Qi Refining Perfection and begun preparing for Foundation Establishment. Lin Yiyi, Yan Qingyao, and several others at the ninth layer of Qi Refining were also close to breaking through.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Liu Family would have a continuous stream of Foundation Establishment Cultivators breaking through in the following years, their numbers growing more and more.

"The children haven't even started to show their strength yet, but the Dao Companions and Concubines have grown up first!"

In the entire Red Pine Sect territory, there were only dozens of local Foundation Establishment Cultivators in total. By then, his Liu Family would account for half of them. No one would dare to be defiant even without him personally stepping in... A few months later.

The surge of desire brought by the True Dragon Bloodline finally subsided. Liu Xuan recovered from his indulgent life and returned to his previous regular, healthy lifestyle.

Excessive indulgence and pleasure were not long-term solutions; one had to have a long-term perspective. Combining work and rest was the Righteous Path!

Today was a good day for Yue Li. With Liu Xuan's help over many days, the False Core in her body was finally about to advance to a Golden Core!

Advancing from a False Core to a Golden Core! Yue Li had never heard of such a thing. Although the Impurities in the False Core were constantly being expelled and its compatibility with her was getting higher and higher, she still felt somewhat apprehensive as long as she hadn't truly reached that step.

*Buzz!*

Under Yue Li's nervous and expectant gaze, the Golden Core in her body suddenly burst with a flash of golden light, and a mysterious enlightenment flooded her heart.

*Crack~*

*Crack~*

A half-moon-shaped Frost Seal Script fused into a substantive cold light and merged into the Golden Core. A frosty aura spread out from her body.

Moon Shadow Frost Sword Scripture, Cold Moon Divine Ability!

"To think... even a Divine Ability was condensed!!"

Yue Li was dazed, immersed in the mysterious Concept of the Golden Core Divine Ability after her transformation and the intense joy.

Except for longevity, a False Core True Person had no Divine Abilities and was inferior to a Golden Core True Person in every aspect. Most importantly, they lost the possibility of advancement, their path to the Dao severed. One would only choose to achieve a False Core as a last resort.

A False Core transforming into a Golden Core was no different from a Rebirth through fire. To Yue Li, nothing was more worth being happy about than this!

"Husband~"

"You're so good! Other than Revered Master, you're the person who treats me the best!" Yue Li held Liu Xuan tightly, her true feelings showing.

Her Revered Master, Shen Yunshu, had spent a vast amount of resources back then to help her form a core. After the Core Formation failed, she spent a great price to help her condense a False Core. Without her Revered Master, she would have died long ago.

Liu Xuan's selfless help in transforming her False Core into a Golden Core could be called the grace of Rebirth, but it was still a bit less than her Revered Master, who gave her everything.

Mainly, Liu Xuan was too fickle. If he could stay with her every day, Yue Li would definitely place him above Shen Yunshu.

"Lier, this matter of your transformation into a Golden Core must not be exposed! Otherwise, it will attract even more women, and I'll have even less time to spend with you!"

"Don't worry, Husband, I know what's important!"

Since it concerned her own happiness, she would not say a word even without Liu Xuan's reminder.
