"Cultivate immortality!"
"We can cultivate immortality too?"
"Is there really such a thing as cultivating immortality? I've never heard of it?"
"Isn't cultivating immortality just a legend?"
"It is said that there were cultivators thousands of years ago, but since then, they have disappeared."
The women began to discuss in surprise.
Even Song Yuzhi, who was initially skeptical, joined in.
She stepped forward, took Yang Hong's hand, and asked expectantly.
"Husband, is the cultivation technique I'm currently practicing..."
"That's right, Yuzhi. The cultivation technique you are practicing is indeed an immortal cultivation technique, and your current realm is not the Celestial Realm, but the Qi Refining Realm."
Yang Hong nodded and confirmed with a smile.
Having cultivated with Song Yuzhi for so long, Yang Hong had long ago completely transformed her cultivation technique into the "Mysterious Maiden Spirit Gathering Art."
"Really?"
"Husband, how powerful am I now?"
Song Yuzhi's smiling face was filled with eagerness.
"Haha, my Yuzhi is very powerful now. Defeating your father would be no problem."
"Hehe~ Husband, can I go back to visit my family someday?"
Hearing Yang Hong's words, Song Yuzhi didn't deny it, but rather asked shyly.
It seemed she truly wanted to go back and "beat up her father."
Yang Hong looked at Song Yuzhi with some surprise, and the others also looked on curiously.
"What's wrong? Isn't it normal for me to visit my family?"
"Ahem~ In a few days. It's late June now, so go back in early July.
However, are you really going to beat up the head of the Song Clan?"
Seeing the gleam in Song Yuzhi's eyes, Yang Hong began to worry for the Heavenly Blade, Song Que.
A Grandmaster was no match for a Qi Refining cultivator.
And Song Yuzhi's gaze told him that she genuinely intended to fight her father.
"Hehe, Husband guessed right. I'm going back to teach my father a lesson. He always hit me when I was a child.
And when I grew up, he kept complaining about my poor aptitude and low cultivation?
Hmph~ I'll make him regret it."
"You can teach whoever you want a lesson,
but be careful not to let outsiders know about your cultivation.
After all, breaking through from a top martial artist to the Celestial Realm in just one year is too astonishing!"
"Don't worry, Husband. I'll be careful and absolutely no one will find out, except my father."
Song Yuzhi said with confidence, and a hint of slyness.
Yang Hong silently mourned for the Heavenly Blade, Song Que, the Grandmaster.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, we too can cultivate, oh no, cultivate immortality.
Can we also cultivate immortality?"
Li Xuefeng interjected, her words slightly jumbled.
She was also incredibly excited.
Her family was a lineage of imperial physicians, and they possessed many ancient texts, including records of immortal cultivators, especially alchemy.
The legendary immortal elixirs that could bring the dead back to life were her childhood dreams.
Now, what she wanted most was to confirm that immortal cultivation was real and that the elixirs were also real.
"That's right, all seven of you can cultivate immortality, and I will teach you advanced immortal cultivation techniques."
Yang Hong nodded in confirmation. He had brought them here tonight precisely to impart immortal cultivation techniques to them.
Although Yang Hong only knew the "Mysterious Maiden Spirit Gathering Art" and the "Plain Maiden Sun Gathering Art," both techniques had been elevated to the 99th level by the system.
If the original techniques were merely of mid-grade quality, then the current versions should have reached the highest grade.
The techniques were the same, but through the system's and Yang Hong's deductions, their flaws had been corrected and minimized.
The techniques were now more perfect and powerful.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, can I also cultivate immortality?"
Zhou Fengzhi asked again, uncertainly.
"Yes, all of you can."
Yang Hong intended to train all seven of them.
They had all already reached the late stage of the Grandmaster realm and could quickly switch to cultivating the "Mysterious Maiden Spirit Gathering Art."
"Now, each of you take a jar of wine, and under Song Yuzhi's guidance, begin cultivating the immortal techniques."
To convince the women, Yang Hong simply waved his hand, and seven small, two-jin jars of wine appeared abruptly on the ground.
"This... is this a storage ring? It's truly miraculous!"
Song Yuzhi was astonished and pulled on Yang Hong's hand, wanting to examine it.
"Heh heh, it's not a storage ring, just a small trinket. I only have one, and I'll give you more when I have them later."
Yang Hong didn't mind Song Yuzhi looking and revealed the storage embroidery piece on his wrist.
"This looks like an embroidery piece from a woman's garment?"
Zhang Lengyue suddenly asked, her tone puzzled.
"You have sharp eyes, it is indeed an embroidery piece."
Yang Hong didn't deny it, as the characteristics of the embroidery piece were too obvious.
However, he didn't want to dwell on the embroidery piece and quickly changed the subject.
"You all begin cultivating, I'll go outside to guard you and prevent anyone from disturbing you."
"Yuzhi, teach them your current cultivation technique in its entirety."
Yang Hong instructed Song Yuzhi.
He believed that with Song Yuzhi's intelligence and her proficiency with the "Mysterious Maiden Spirit Gathering Art," she would be perfectly capable of this task.
However, Zhou Fengzhi and the others looked at Yang Hong with expressions of longing.
They had already discussed it and planned to serve Yang Hong together.
Unfortunately, Yang Hong had no such intentions.
"Ahem~ My dear sisters, I know your intentions, and I don't mind having a few more sisters. After all, I alone cannot serve Husband."
"However, if you wish to progress further, you will need time and opportunities."
"I believe that after so much time together, you all know that while Husband appears indifferent on the surface, he is truly a good person."
"As long as you are not too foolish or reckless, sooner or later, you will all become my sisters, sisters with whom we can be completely open and honest."
Song Yuzhi's double entendre caused Jia Yuanchun and the other six to blush, but they looked at Song Yuzhi with anticipation rather than shyness.
"Alright, I'll start by teaching you the 'Mysterious Maiden Art,' a cultivation technique specifically for women..."
Song Yuzhi was quite straightforward and immediately got down to business.
As for the intimate moments during the teaching process, they were not to be told to outsiders.
Yang Hong, who was outside the "Yadu Tower," could occasionally hear shy exclamations.
Clearly, Song Yuzhi's teaching was thorough and profound.
After seven nights of clandestine instruction, Jia Yuanchun and the other six finally fully mastered the "Mysterious Maiden Art" and cultivated true qi.
True qi was a higher level of energy than internal force.
If internal force was gaseous energy, then true qi was liquid energy.
It was a level higher.
The most intuitive comparison was that Jia Yuanchun, who was the first to cultivate true qi and had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, could single-handedly take on the other six.
It was important to note that before cultivating true qi, Jia Yuanchun could be easily defeated by any one of the others.
"Husband, I've decided to name the team of Sister Zhou and the others the 'Shadow Phoenix.' What do you think?"
When Li Xuefeng, the last one, also cultivated true qi, Song Yuzhi asked Yang Hong for his opinion.
The name "Shadow Phoenix" was a name they had all eight discussed together.
"Hahaha~ That's a good name, low-key yet powerful!"
Hearing the name "Shadow Phoenix," Yang Hong's eyes lit up.
The name might seem a bit ostentatious, but it perfectly suited Yang Hong's wishes.
As for whether anyone would associate it with him?
Yang Hong wasn't worried.
On the surface, Yang Hong was a person who hadn't cultivated, a complete ordinary individual.
"Shadow Phoenix," a name that would one day strike terror into the hearts of the immortal cultivation world across the Taiyuan Continent,
was decided today, in just a few words between Yang Hong and Song Yuzhi.
