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

Yu Fengling sat cross-legged on a futon, with three Foundation Establishment Pills placed in front of her.

After taking a deep breath, she picked up the first one and put it in her mouth without hesitation.

The pill entered the stomach and instantly transformed into a torrent of heat, rushing to every part of the body!

"Hmm..."

Yu Fengling groaned, her face suddenly turning red.

The three spiritual roots aptitude means that the spiritual energy attributes within her body are mixed and difficult to harmonize compared to single or double spiritual roots.

The immense medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill surged through her meridians like a wild horse.

Yu Fengling clenched her teeth, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and spiritual energy of the three colors of metal, water, and wood surged from his dantian, attempting to guide the violent medicinal power.

However, after an incense stick had burned...

"puff!"

Yu Fengling spat out a mouthful of blood, and her spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic, marking the failure of her first attempt.

However, Yu Fengling simply raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes showing no sign of discouragement, but rather a burning even stronger fighting spirit.

She took out the healing pills that Qin Xiao had prepared beforehand, swallowed them, and began to regulate her breathing to recover.

......

Three days have passed.

The spiritual energy vortex in Yu Qingyi's quiet room had expanded to a radius of about ten feet. At the center of the vortex, the spiritual energy around her was becoming more and more solid, and it was showing a faint tendency to liquefy.

The flames in Li Chang Le's quiet room grew stronger and the temperature rose. If it weren't for the array that kept it in place, it would probably have set the entire quiet room ablaze.

Li Anning's aura intensified, her clothes fluttered in the wind, and her hair danced wildly.

Luo Qingluan and Mu Ziyan took the second Foundation Establishment Pill one after another, and their auras steadily increased.

Yu Fengling, having failed twice, has begun her third attempt.

This time, before taking the last Foundation Establishment Pill, she bowed deeply in the direction of Qin Xiao: "Husband, Phoenix Feather will surely succeed this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swallowed the elixir.

Unlike the previous two times, this time Yu Fengling did not rush to guide the medicine, but instead allowed its power to surge and collide within her body.

She gritted her teeth, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth again.

He stubbornly endured the excruciating pain of his meridians being torn apart, and did not immediately circulate his internal energy.

"What is she doing?"

Qin Xiao paid close attention with his divine sense, and was slightly surprised.

Within Yu Fengling's body, the three elements of metal, water, and wood spontaneously began to circulate, not to guide the medicinal power, but to trap the violent medicinal power in the center.

"Using my own spiritual power as a prison, I trap the medicinal properties, then slowly refine them..."

A hint of admiration flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes, "This girl actually figured out this method on her own."

Since we cannot resolve this quickly, let's trap it first and then digest it slowly.

Time passes little by little.

Yu Fengling's face turned from red to white, then from white to green, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably as she endured immense pain.

But her eyes were unusually bright, and she always kept a clear mind.

Inside the quiet room, the three-colored spiritual energy gradually contracted, and the violent medicinal power in the center was squeezed and refined little by little.

It transformed into pure spiritual energy and merged into her meridians and dantian.

A muffled sound came from within his body as the three-colored spiritual energy merged into one, carrying the immense medicinal power after refinement, and crashed fiercely against the barrier of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Once, twice, three times...

During the fourth impact!

The invisible barrier shattered with a deafening roar!

Yu Fengling's aura suddenly surged, and three-colored spiritual energy soared into the sky. After swirling around the roof of the quiet room several times, it rolled back down and completely entered her body.

The spiritual energy began to liquefy!

One drop, two drops, three drops...

Liquid spiritual energy gathered in the dantian, gradually forming a small vortex.

Foundation building complete!

Moreover, it was the first to succeed!

The door to the quiet room opened, and Yu Fengling staggered out, her whole body soaked in sweat, her pretty face as pale as paper.

But those peach blossom eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

She slowly collapsed towards Qin Xiao's direction, saying, "My husband, Feng Ling has not failed you!"

Qin Xiao flashed and appeared in front of Yu Fengling, reaching out to help her up.

A sweep of divine sense confirmed that Yu Fengling had stabilized at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, due to the tempering of three impacts, its foundation became exceptionally solid.

"Okay, very good."

Qin Xiao rarely smiled. "I didn't expect you to be the first."

Yu Fengling's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Fengling knows she has the worst aptitude, so she can only work harder than others. I don't want to hold my husband back..."

"You have never held us back."

Qin Xiao said solemnly, "On the path of cultivation, one's character is sometimes more important than one's aptitude. Your ability to be the first to reach the Foundation Establishment stage today is proof of that."

As they were talking, noises began to come from the other quiet rooms.

The second door opened, and Li Anning came out.

She was surrounded by a subtle elegance, and her steps were light and graceful.

After establishing her Wind Spirit Root, her temperament became increasingly lively, even carrying a touch of etherealness.

"My lord, Anning has successfully completed her foundation building."

She bowed, feeling a great weight lifted from her shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, Li Changle also pushed open the door and came out.

The establishment of her Fire Spirit Root Foundation made her even more radiant, her skin glowing with a faint rosy hue. Seeing Qin Xiao, she smiled and said, "Husband, An Ning has also succeeded."

Almost simultaneously, Luo Qingluan and Mu Ziyan opened their quiet rooms.

The two women smiled at each other and walked out hand in hand.

Their aura was calm and composed, their spiritual power was contained, and their foundation-building process went very smoothly.

Finally, the door to Yu Qingyi's quiet room slowly opened.

She took a step forward, and a mist of water vapor enveloped her. The Cold Water Sword hung by itself at her side, its long, drawn-out sound echoing.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Yu Qingyi's temperament became increasingly aloof and otherworldly, like a fairy from the moon palace.

Her gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Qin Xiao, and she nodded slightly: "Husband, Qingyi has completed her Foundation Establishment."

All six women succeeded!

Qin Xiao looked around at everyone, feeling gratified but also secretly surprised by Yu Fengling's "comeback".

"You all did a great job."

He proclaimed loudly, "From this day forward, you have truly stepped into the gate of cultivation. You will have a lifespan of two hundred years at the Foundation Establishment stage, your spiritual energy will be liquefied, and you will be able to learn more spells and wield more powerful magical artifacts."

Upon hearing this, all the women were invigorated.

"but……"

Qin Xiao changed the subject, "Foundation Establishment is just the beginning. Next, you need to stabilize your realm and familiarize yourselves with the power of the Foundation Establishment stage. I will teach you the spells that can be learned during the Foundation Establishment stage."

He looked at Yu Fengling and gave her special instructions: "Fengling, although you were the first to establish your foundation, the three breakthroughs have taken a toll on your body. For the next half month, you need to focus on nurturing and avoid rushing to practice magic."

"Feng Ling understands."

Yu Fengling obediently agreed.

"Qingluan and Ziyan, you have a solid foundation. You can start trying to refine simple pills and array plates to prepare for the future."

"Yes."

The two women accepted the order.

"Qingyi, since you have the highest cultivation level, you can give Anning and Changle more guidance on how to adapt to the spiritual energy circulation during the Foundation Establishment stage."

Yu Qingyi nodded: "I will."

After making the arrangements, Qin Xiao looked out of the hall, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

With the six women successfully establishing their foundations, the harem's strength greatly increased.

Now he could focus on preparing for his own Nascent Soul formation.

Once the Nascent Soul is formed, one can explore the "Heavenly Pillar Mountain," encounter the "Spirit Devouring Array," and possibly meet the disciples of the Heavenly Luo Sect.

But before that...

Qin Xiao withdrew his gaze and looked at the six Daoist partners in front of him, each with stunning looks and unique temperament, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Today you have successfully established your foundation; let us celebrate!"

Upon hearing this, all the women showed joy on their faces.

After three months of rigorous training day and night, it's time to relax for a while.

That night, the Zichen Palace was brightly lit, and a sumptuous banquet was held.

Six women sat around a table, with Qin Xiao in the head seat.

The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, filled with laughter and conversation.

Yu Fengling's face was still somewhat pale.

But she was in excellent spirits, frequently serving food to Qin Xiao, her peach blossom eyes filled with affection and pride.

Li Anning and the Li Changle sisters talked in hushed tones, glancing at Qin Xiao from time to time, their eyes filled with growing affection.

Luo Qingluan and Mu Ziyan behaved politely and took good care of everyone.

Yu Qingyi remained aloof.

But her expression softened considerably, and she occasionally met Qin Xiao's gaze.

As the banquet reached its midst, Qin Xiao raised his glass: "This toast is to congratulate you on your successful Foundation Establishment. May your path be smooth and your Core Formation come soon."

"Thank you, my husband!" the women said in unison, raising their glasses.

After finishing his drink, Qin Xiao put down his wine cup and said slowly, "Once your cultivation levels are stable, I will go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

The goddesses all turned solemn.

Qin Xiao added, "The Nascent Soul stage is no small matter, and I must make thorough preparations. During your seclusion, Qingluan will oversee all palace affairs, with Qingyi assisting her. The outer court will be handled by the cabinet. If there are any major matters, you can discuss and decide among yourselves."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Luo Qingluan solemnly replied, "Your Majesty, I will do my utmost to protect the peace and tranquility of the palace."

Yu Qingyi nodded, "Qingyi will assist Sister Qingluan, so my husband can focus on his seclusion."

Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Li Anning sisters: "Anning, Changle, you must not slack off in your cultivation. If you have any doubts, you can ask your elder sisters for guidance."

"Yes," the two sisters obediently replied.

Finally, his gaze fell on Yu Fengling.

Yu Fengling quickly sat up straight, looking like she was listening attentively.

Qin Xiao chuckled: "Feng Ling, your performance today has impressed me greatly. But remember, the path of cultivation is long, so guard against arrogance and impatience. Since you are known for your diligence, keep it up."

"Feng Ling will always remember her husband's teachings!"

Yu Fengling nodded vigorously.

After the banquet, the women each returned to their quiet rooms to recuperate.

Qin Xiao stood alone in front of the hall, gazing up at the stars in the night sky.

With the six women successfully establishing their foundations, the harem is now secure.

With the government in place and the Jiangnan region pacified, the world is temporarily at peace.

it's time.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
