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

Qin Xiao snapped out of his daze and pondered for a moment.

I will briefly explain what I just thought of, omitting the existence of the system.

After listening, Mu Ziyan frowned slightly and said softly, "Before meeting you, young master, I only considered the matter of cultivating immortality to be a story or legend. According to what you said, I'm afraid there really are no records of it in our Great Yong territory."

She paused, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes, "However, young master, just because it's not in the Great Yong doesn't mean other countries don't have it either. The world is vast; perhaps in some unknown corner, there exists a lineage of cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "I have also considered this possibility. However, if other countries have cultivators, it's impossible that word wouldn't have leaked out; at least among the higher-ups, there would always be some clues. Unless, other countries are still in the exploratory stage of cultivating immortality..."

"Your Majesty! I have suddenly remembered something..."

Mu Ziyan asked thoughtfully, "Do you think there might be cultivators in the Yu Kingdom?"

"The State of Yu?"

Qin Xiao's gaze sharpened. "Why did you think of the Yu Kingdom? Explain in detail."

Mu Ziyan gathered her thoughts and explained, "The Kingdom of Yu borders Jinyang Prefecture, and merchants traveling between the two inevitably bring back some strange and unusual stories from the Kingdom of Yu."

"I have heard some merchants from the State of Yu mention that there is a group of 'shamans' in the State of Yu who hold a high position."

"Legend has it that these people possess all sorts of incredible abilities, such as the power to summon wind and rain and communicate with spirits and gods."

"They can even use strange powers to heal the sick and save lives, or to curse others."

"I used to think it was just an exaggeration or some kind of illusion."

"But now that I've learned the wonders of cultivating immortality, and thinking back on it..."

"Young master, do you think it's possible that the seemingly miraculous abilities of those Yu Kingdom sorcerers are not just a myth?"

"Or is it related to the path of immortal cultivation in some way?"

Qin Xiao heard this.

His expression gradually became serious.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind.

There was both anticipation and deep-seated fear!

If the Kingdom of Ruoyu truly possesses a lineage of immortal cultivation.

Moreover, their strength is still shallow, limited to the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages.

With my cultivation at the mid-stage of Core Formation, I am more than capable of handling this.

They seized the classic texts to make up for the deficiencies in their own inheritance.

This is a great blessing!

but……

What if there are even stronger cultivators secretly existing in the Yu Kingdom?

They were rivals who were both at the Core Formation stage.

Even old monsters above the Core Formation stage, Nascent Soul stage, and Deity Transformation stage...

What if those high-level cultivators are in the same situation as me?

Fearing that there might be other, more powerful cultivators in the world, he chose to live in seclusion.

Or they could remain detached from worldly affairs, untouched by the influence of the Yu Kingdom's royal family.

Once a conflict breaks out between the two countries.

They were forced to leave the mountains.

At that time, will someone with Core Formation cultivation still be able to control the overall situation?

What terrifying threats will the Great Yong dynasty face?

Qin Xiao became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it!

Although the probability is extremely small.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

We must be vigilant, and it's also necessary to investigate thoroughly!

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

While pondering, Qin Xiao thought of someone.

It was a secret plot with Qin Yuan.

Yu Fengling, the Grand Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom, is about to secretly arrive in Jinyang Prefecture!

Qin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mu Ziyan, and said admiringly, "Yan'er, the information you provided is extremely crucial and has been of great help to me!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan was delighted, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "I would be content if I could help you, young master."

Qin Xiao smiled slightly, then changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Yan'er, since you've heard of the affairs of the Yu Kingdom, have you ever heard of the Yu Kingdom's Grand Tutor named Yu Fengling? Are there any rumors about this woman in those tales and anecdotes?"

"Yu Fengling?"

Mu Ziyan pursed her red lips, pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head, saying apologetically, "Young master, I usually stay in Ziyan Pavilion, and these rumors are all from the maids. I really can't remember them right now. However, Qingluo might remember. Why don't I call her over and ask her?"

Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "Alright, then call him over and ask."

……

Soon, Mu Ziyan summoned Qingluo.

This little girl is the attendant of the head maid, Zhishu, and she is pretty and charming.

She was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Lively and active personality.

Upon entering the private room, Qingluo bowed to Qin Xiao and respectfully asked, "Young Master Qin, what are your orders?"

Qin Xiao frowned slightly: "I'd like to hear some interesting stories about the Yu Kingdom, especially about the Grand Preceptor named Yu Fengling. Have you heard any rumors about her? Tell me as much as you know."

Qingluo usually enjoys inquiring about these strange and unusual stories.

Now that she had a chance to shine, her beautiful eyes lit up. "Young master, you've come to the right person!"

Then, he began to tell the story vividly:

"This Yu Fengling is no ordinary person!"

"She is the cousin of the current Empress of Yu, and holds a very high position in the country!"

"But in private, the common people called her 'the enchantress of the Yu Kingdom'!"

"A vixen?" Mu Ziyan frowned slightly.

"Yes! It's that enchantress!"

Qingluo nodded vigorously, her expression exaggerated, "Rumor has it that she's incredibly alluring, with naturally captivating eyes. Every move she makes can bewitch men, making them willing to do anything for her!"

"It's said that she kept countless male lovers in her mansion, indulging in nightly revelry!"

"The most bizarre thing is that she cultivated an extremely powerful sorcery that specifically absorbed the yang energy of men to enhance her own strength!"

"With this unorthodox skill, her strength has reached the terrifying ninth-level martial master realm!"

"There are even rumors that her strength is above that of a ninth-level martial artist!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan couldn't help but interrupt, "Wait, Qingluo! I seem to remember you saying something different to me before? I vaguely recall you mentioning that this Grand Preceptor of Yu Kingdom was cold-hearted, averse to men, and acted mysteriously. How come your description has completely changed now?"

Qingluo was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. She chuckled awkwardly, "Miss, you have such a good memory! That...that was old news! I only recently heard the latest news from the newly arrived Yu Kingdom merchant caravan! These rumors do get updated, don't they? Everyone outside is saying it like this, and it sounds so detailed!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan couldn't help but purse her lips, somewhat speechless: "The difference is too great, they're practically two completely opposite people."

At this moment, Qin Xiao slowly spoke, his tone grave: "What Qingluo just said, though it sounds bizarre, might be closer to the truth!"

As he spoke, the image of Yu Fengling that he had sensed a few days earlier, before the anniversary celebration of her ascension to the throne, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

The woman was indeed extremely beautiful, with a captivating aura and an exceptionally alluring figure!

She was wearing a bright red dress at the time.

The skirt was slit, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs.

Her skin was so fair it was almost dazzling!

With every gesture, her eyes sparkled, and her lips curved into a smile.

Every frown and smile of hers seemed to be able to bewitch and steal one's soul!

This matches Qingluo's description quite well!

Add to that the idea of ​​absorbing yang energy...

This woman is probably a cultivator.

The practice they are cultivating is a sinister and evil method related to the practice of sexual exploitation!
