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

"very good."

Qin Xiao walked to the main seat and sat down. "Qingyi needs to stay in Yu Kingdom for a while to reorganize the court. During this time, Qingluan will continue to oversee the affairs of the inner palace. In terms of cultivation, you can spar with each other to strengthen your spells."

"Yes."

The women responded.

Li Anning blinked and asked curiously, "Husband, was the rebellion in Yu Kingdom very serious? You, Sister Qingyi, and Sister Fengling quelled it so quickly?"

Before Qin Xiao could answer, Yu Fengling excitedly interjected, "You didn't see it! My husband is amazing! He just blew a breath, and all ten of those rebel ninth-level martial artists were gone! Not even ashes remained!"

She gestured animatedly, vividly describing the scene from yesterday.

The women's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Although they knew that Qin Xiao was already a Nascent Soul cultivator with unfathomable strength.

But hearing that ten peak mortal martial arts experts were killed so casually was still shocking.

Mu Ziyan gently touched her chest and sighed, "The power of a Nascent Soul cultivator has reached this level..."

A longing gleamed in Li Changle's eyes: "I wonder when we will be able to have such methods."

"Cultivate diligently, and that day will come."

Qin Xiao said calmly, "The Nascent Soul stage is not the end. Above it are higher realms such as Deity Transformation, Void Refinement, and Body Integration. The path of cultivation is long and endless."

Upon hearing this, all the women became solemn, their yearning for the Great Dao growing even stronger.

Qin Xiao inquired about everyone's cultivation progress, gave them a few pointers, and then dismissed everyone, leaving only Luo Qingluan behind.

"Qingluan, during my seclusion to consolidate my Nascent Soul realm, you will take turns cultivating with me. I need to put in a lot of effort."

Qin Xiao said, "You will be in charge of allocating cultivation resources in the harem, receiving and processing spiritual materials, and coordinating with Mu Yun Mountain. If you have any questions, you may send a message to me."

"Rest assured, my husband, Qingluan will do her utmost."

Luo Qingluan solemnly agreed, "Then Qingluan will not disturb my husband any longer. My husband, please go into seclusion in peace. We will take care of everything in the palace."

Qin Xiao nodded, said no more, and got up to walk towards the quiet room in the back hall.

The door to the quiet room slowly closed, and layers of arrays shimmered with light, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

Qin Xiao sat cross-legged at the core of the Spirit Gathering Array, with a purple spirit crystal floating in front of him, radiating a gentle yet powerful spiritual energy.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into his dantian.

Within the dantian, a five-colored nascent soul, about an inch tall, sat quietly, its body radiating endless five-colored light.

"A naturally pure Yang Five Elements body..."

Qin Xiao looked inward at himself, feeling the surging nascent soul spiritual power within his body, as well as the wondrous state of his five internal organs corresponding to the five elements and rotating and harmonizing on their own.

For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to stabilize their realm, they need to gradually refine their Nascent Soul so that it completely integrates with their physical body and soul, which often takes several years or even more than ten years.

But he was different; the five elements cycled in their own way, forming a world of his own, and his nascent soul was already largely stable once it was formed.

At this moment, what he needs to do is to further stimulate the potential of the Five Elements Body and deepen his control over the Five Elements spiritual power.

[Ding, congratulations host, you have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.]

[The Nascent Soul Gift Pack is ready!]

Qin Xiao was taken aback.

The prompt only appears at this point.

The system is taking a little too long to prepare this gift pack.

I thought there wouldn't be any more gift packs after entering the country.

However, it's a bit slow, but it's better than nothing.

Qin Xiao quickly opened the gift package.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a mobile spiritual spring.]

"A sacred spring?"

Qin Xiao frowned slightly.

The system voice continued: "[It can be stored within the body normally, providing a continuous supply of spiritual energy. The amount of spiritual energy supplied depends on the host's cultivation level, and it can replenish the host's spiritual energy deficit in a short period of time.]"

[The spiritual spring can also be extracted to provide spiritual energy to the outside world.]

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

This is an energy core, a perpetual motion machine!

In battles between cultivators, the key is spiritual power and the ability to control and allocate it effectively.

With this spiritual spring, there's no need to control it anymore; just let the brick fly with tremendous force!

Moreover, the spiritual energy is inexhaustible, and spells can be freely deduced.

Ordinary cultivators need decades, or even centuries, to deduce spells.

The reason why it takes so much time and effort is the consumption of spiritual energy.

Now that we don't need to worry about the loss of spiritual energy, can't we just deduce and use it at will?

We can just use exhaustive search to create new spells!

"Let's do it!"

Qin Xiao composed himself and began studying magic!

time flies.

Seven days later, in a quiet room.

Qin Xiao raised his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

On the palm of his hand, five colors of spiritual light—gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow—lit up in turn.

They then appeared simultaneously, intertwining to form a fist-sized sphere of light that constantly changed colors.

The five-colored sphere of spiritual light slowly rotated, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

"The five elements of spiritual energy have begun to fuse..."

Qin Xiao muttered to himself, "I have also created five other powerful spells: Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Yi Wood Rejuvenation, Xuan Water True Qi, Li Fire Burning Heaven, and Wu Earth Divine Mountain."

Next, let's try to integrate the five elements!

He dispersed the orb of light in his hand and closed his eyes again.

This time, they began to try to use the power of the Nascent Soul to draw upon the five elements of spiritual energy in the world.

Outside the quiet room, Luo Qingluan and the others suddenly noticed that the flow of spiritual energy above the Zichen Palace had become unusually active.

Five-colored spiritual energy spots—gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow—converged from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, and poured into the quiet room in the back hall.

The abundant gathering of spiritual energy created a faint five-colored glow in the air.

Although it was mostly hidden by the formation, it still attracted the attention of the palace guards and maids, who secretly marveled at it.

"My husband's cultivation is becoming increasingly active..."

Mu Ziyan gazed at the faint glow of the sunset in the sky and sighed softly.

"A Nascent Soul cultivator can already draw upon the spiritual energy of a region."

Yu Fengling rested her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with admiration, "I wonder when I'll be able to get to that point."

Li Anning said softly, "As long as I cultivate diligently with my husband, I will be able to achieve it one day."

Li Changle didn't speak, but clenched his fists, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.

Luo Qingluan said gently, "My husband's cultivation is crucial, and we can't fall behind. These past few days, I've been studying 'An Introduction to Alchemy' and have gained some new insights into refining 'Qi-Nourishing Pills.' Why don't we try it together?"

"Okay, okay!"

Yu Fengling immediately perked up.

The women exchanged smiles and walked hand in hand toward the specially designated alchemy room.

Within the harem, life was fulfilling and peaceful, filled with cultivation, alchemy, studying formations, and exchanging magical techniques.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The door to the quiet room has finally opened again.

Qin Xiao walked out slowly, his eyes shining brightly.

His early Nascent Soul stage has been completely stabilized, and he is only one step away from the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Luo Qingluan, who was waiting outside, quickly stepped forward: "Husband."

"Um."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly. "How is the Moon Palace?"

"Everything is going smoothly," Luo Qingluan reported. "President Mu sent three batches of spiritual materials, all of good quality. The sisters are cultivating diligently. Ziyan and Anning are quite talented in alchemy and can now consistently refine Qi-Nourishing Pills. Fengling and Changle are mastering magic quickly and often spar. However…"

He paused, then said in a low voice, "At the court meeting the other day, several censors jointly submitted a memorial, saying that His Majesty had not attended court for a long time and that strange phenomena had repeatedly appeared in the capital, which were probably not good omens. They requested His Majesty to set up an altar to worship Heaven and appease the people. The cabinet suppressed the memorial, but I'm afraid those old ministers will not give up easily."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao scoffed, "Offer sacrifices to Heaven? I am Heaven myself, why would I need to offer sacrifices?"

He looked out of the hall, his divine sense spreading out, and saw the chattering civil officials.

"It seems it's time for these people to finally face reality!"
