Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

The gaps between these stages were like huge chasms that divide cultivators into different leagues. Unless there were some crazy or unreasonable exceptions, someone in a higher realm would always crush someone of a lower realm.

In the Mortal Realm, cultivators would refine their vital Qi tirelessly to awaken their essence Qi and unlock their spiritual potential. The spiritual domain opened up a they would strengthen, blossom and transform it──like a delicate plant that must be cared for.

Before breaking into Spirit Gathering Realm, one must acquire one of the three specialized meridians──Stellar Essence Meridians, Harmony Earth Veins, and Solar Radiance Pathways. . . each gave them extra lifespan in this order: 400, 250, and 100 years. It was a level of strength Mortal Realm cultivators could only dream of.

But here\'s the thing. . .

The jump from Mortal to Spirit Gathering Realm wasn\'t so much about improving the quality of power as it was about ramping up the quantity. One would gain extra meridians, which simply meant access to more powerful techniques and better efficiency in refining spiritual energy.

Now, Core Formation was where things got really different!

By crystallizing the essence of their spiritual domain and merging it into a core, cultivators awakened a far greater combat proficiency. And it wasn\'t just about an increase in the level of power, but also standard. They would refine a whole new type of Qi called spirit Qi, which was crucial for forming a Nascent Soul when they finally crushed their golden core upon breakthrough!

Before reaching Core Formation, cultivators needed three specialized cells to advance. These cells were crucial because breaking through required holding a immense amount of spiritual energy.

These cells would store, channel, and refine more than half of the body\'s spiritual energy!

They were called Golden Star Cells, Earthly Star Cells, and Mortal Sun Cells, and they all added lifespan just like specialized meridians did.

Depending on the combination of cells and meridians a cultivator had, they\'d end up with a different type of golden core.

Mortal Sun Cells and Solar Radiance Pathways. . .

This combination would yield a Sun Golden Core. It could be called the worst luck as they\'d never be able to walk the celestial path. Their cells wouldn\'t be able to handle the otherworldly energy such a cultivation demanded. They would never be able to make it past the early stages of Nascent Soul Realm, much less 2nd Path Cultivation.

Earthly Sun Cells and Harmony Earth Veins. . .

It would form a Great-Sun Golden Core. It was easy for them to advance as far as 4th Path Cultivation and with serendipity, perhaps 5th Path.

Golden Star Cells and Stellar Essence Meridians. . .

It formed a Celestial Golden Core. The cultivator\'s body would become one built to contain the stars. Without even reaching Nascent Soul Realm, they would\'ve already awakened their celestial Qi. One\'s potential was boundless with such a golden core.

Nevertheless, it was something one would come across once every 1,000 years.

However, Yang Wei didn\'t seem worried about that at all. Discover hidden tales at empire

Currently, he was in a steam-covered forest in the Osmanthus World, wearing only a white skirt around his lower body.

Li Meixiu was clad in a thin white garment that barely covered her body, accentuating her toned muscles and curves. The wet fabric hugged her figure, revealing even the shape of her nipples due to the moisture.

She grinned mischievously, "Hahah! Alright, let\'s play our favorite game!"

Yang Wei smiled and stretched out his arms, "I\'m ready for anything."

With a swift movement, Yang Wei dashed forward like the wind, attempting to pull down Li Meixiu\'s garment, but she easily dodged and shifted to the side.

"My, my, you\'re eager to see me naked, aren\'t you~♡...?"

Undeterred, Yang Wei made another attempt to grab her, but Li Meixiu dodged once more, narrowly avoiding his grasp.

"Well, you make a good point. Still, I wish I was playing this game with a more innocent man, you know..."

She smiled mischievously.

In a flash, Yang Wei closed the distance between them and pinned her against a tree, holding one of her hands against the trunk while his other hand rested on her hip.

"Wow~~♡ that was fast..."

Li Meixiu continued to smile at him with her big green eyes.

Yang Wei nodded casually, "Eeeeh, maybe I just wanted a treat..."

"Oh? What treat~♡..."

"Well, I don\'t know, maybe..." the young man leaned into her left ear and whispered, "...something sweet and tasty. After all, I\'ve been training so hard for so long my lips haven\'t tasted anything fun~" Slowly, he pulled down her garment with a finger, and it poured down to her feet, revealing her naked body.

"Hun~♡ You\'re really going to strip your teacher?"

"Well... I don\'t see her complaining."

Her naked body came into his view.

It wasn\'t his first time seeing it, but he loved it the more he did.

Li Meixiu\'s well-defined chest had firm, rounded breasts that perfectly complemented her muscular physique. Her nipples, small and dark, stood proudly erect, increasing his urges.

"What\'re you waiting for, magic boy... kiss me~♡..."

When Yang Wei heard her call him this, he immediately remembered Mu Lin.

There was something about them calling him "magic boy" that always ignited a fire between his legs.

He leaned in and softly bit Li Meixiu\'s tender lower lip. Then, she gently bit and suckled on his own lips. Soon, Yang Wei freed her hand, and she wrapped both her arms around his neck while Yang Wei\'s strong hands held her hips. He could feel the outline of her v-cut abs against the skin of his fingers, and they felt good to touch.

They kissed more and more, and slowly, one of Yang Wei\'s hands reached for her pink fruit, but Li Meixiu immediately gripped his wrist.

"W-, what...?" Yang Wei asked, confused.

Li Meixiu gently pressed her finger against Yang Wei\'s forehead, pushing him back slightly.

"We can\'t sleep together, at least not now."

Yang Wei stepped back, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "That sounds a little silly. I mean, doesn\'t it make sense for us to have sex after I\'ve already pulled down your garment and you let me?" He gave Li Meixiu a sharp side-eye. "Well, unless you\'re a virgin, then I\'ll have to set entirely new rules."

However, she didn\'t act like she was one, so he assumed she likely wasn\'t.

Li Meixiu yawned and stretched her arms tiredly as she walked back towards the hot springs.

"Don\'t worry about that, my love life isn\'t that interesting. If anything, I\'d rather forget about it."

Yang Wei pulled down his garment and followed behind her.

"Then why can\'t we sleep together?"

Li Meixiu settled into the hot springs, stretching her legs in the hot water and enjoying the sensation on her skin. A small moan escaped her lips from the stretching. "I\'m a 4th Path Cultivator, and you and I cultivating together would be very detrimental to your cultivation base and beneficial to mine... that wouldn\'t be fair, right?"

Yang Wei entered the hot springs and soaked in the water.

"Fair point."

"Besides, I don\'t think Senior Xuanwu would be pleased if he found out I was engaging in activities for the sake of the Star Sovereign Sect. We can have fun, yes, but we should maintain professionalism at times."

"Hmm..."

Yang Wei felt a sense of déjà vu. Several years had passed since he told Mu Lin about them keeping their dual cultivation professional, in other words, no strings attached.

And now she\'s technically my wife... wait, if we\'re going with that logic does that make her or Yue\'er my first wife? Eh, it doesn\'t matter... I wouldn\'t want a hierarchy among women I all love for different reasons.

He yawned.

"That would be disgusting..."

"Hm?" Li Meixiu tilted her head. "What\'d you say?"

"Forget about it, just thinking out loud."

Out of nowhere, Tianyi emerged from the mist of steam and leaped into the hot springs.

Yang Wei chuckled, "Hey there, buddy! Where\'ve you been hiding?" He scooped up the little dragon and lifted him high, playfully shaking him as Tianyi barked happily.

Li Meixiu smiled as she watched them play. Her expression turned a bit serious as she asked, "So, when do you plan on forming your golden core?"

Yang Wei grinned. "Well, at first, I was worried about not being able to form the best golden core, but that changed after what that Zou Fang fellow gave me."

Li Meixiu raised an eyebrow. "Zou Fang?"

Yang Wei nodded. "Yeah, I figured you\'d know him. He mentioned he\'s acquaintances with Senior Tortoise... I think he\'s also called the Heavenly Emissary, or something like that."

Li Meixiu\'s eyes widened in surprise. "Wait, Zou Fang, the Emperor of the Eastern Dragon Sea Domain──?"

Yang Wei shrugged. "Yeah, that\'s the one."

Li Meixiu seemed intrigued. "So, wha-, what did he give you?" She was still a bit taken aback by the fact that Yang Wei had received a gift from a 5th-Path cultivator.

Yang Wei\'s grin widened, and he chuckled, "He gave me golden star cells, which means..."

Li Meixiu\'s excitement grew as she finished his sentence, "You can form a celestial golden core!"

Folding his arms, the proud mage nodded.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Meanwhile, Tianyi just swam around in the hot water, using his wings as pedals.

"Well..." Yang Wei settled back in the water. "I think I\'ll take some time to rest before I refine the golden core."

"Fair enough, you\'ve been cultivating so hard I\'m a little worried you\'ll get too caught up in it." Li Meixiu showed some concern.

"Hah! I\'ll be fine, don\'t worry."

The beauty chuckled, "Trust me, I\'m not, don\'t get ahead of yourself."

"Whatever..."

Yang Wei threw his arms back and relaxed some more.

Still, I do miss my women a lot...
