"Yes, Master!" Mu Peiling blushed slightly and whispered softly.
"Go back and prepare, choose a subsidiary peak to establish your cave residence. Here is the token for the array's restrictions. With it, you can freely enter and exit the formations I have set up. Once everything is arranged, I will place a Restriction Spell on you, officially making you my concubine. But let me make this clear: I don't care if you had a lover or an ideal man before. Now that you are my concubine, you must sever all ties with your past. If you maintain any connections, don't blame me for being ruthless. You still have time to back out now," Han Li said coldly, withdrawing his presumptuous gaze and placing a purple jade token on the table.
"Since entering the sect as a child, I've devoted myself solely to cultivation. How could I have a lover? And now that I have made my decision, I will not waver," Mu Peiling said decisively, extending her slender hand to take the jade token.
Han Li nodded in response without saying much more. He then summoned a giant ape puppet to escort Mu Peiling out of the hall.
Seeing the puppet, Mu Peiling's eyes showed a hint of surprise. She marveled at its formidable appearance and wondered why the white-robed maid from before was nowhere to be seen. However, knowing that it was wise not to delve too deeply into certain matters, she sensibly refrained from asking any questions and followed the puppet out of the cave.
"Master, since you intend to take this woman as a concubine as a form of punishment, why did you agree to the thirty-year arrangement? Do you have other plans?" Silver Moon appeared in the hall after Mu Peiling left, having returned to her white fox form.
"Of course, I have plans. Even if she hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have touched her before she forms her Core," Han Li replied calmly, not denying it.
"Oh? Why is that?" The white fox leaped onto the table in front of Han Li, her black eyes glistening against her snowy fur, making her look extremely cute.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, seemingly in a good mood. Instead of replying immediately, he retrieved a pink jade slip from his waist and placed it on the table.
"Do you remember the storage bag I got from that Six Paths scion? This jade slip was found inside it. After studying it, I discovered that it contains several demonic dual cultivation techniques," Han Li explained, gently caressing the pink jade slip with a finger.
Silver Moon was momentarily stunned, looking at the jade slip and then at Han Li, her face showing a hint of doubt. Knowing that Han Li would explain further, she remained silent.
As expected, Han Li continued, "The other techniques recorded in this jade slip are quite powerful but not extraordinary. However, two of them stand out. One is the 'Dragon Capturing Technique,' suitable for Core Formation cultivators. It allows them to continuously absorb the pure Yin essence of female cultivators with special constitutions, greatly accelerating their cultivation. However, it damages the female cultivators' vitality, so the more concubines the male cultivator has, the better. The Six Paths scion likely used this technique, which explains why he had so many Foundation Establishment female cultivators around him. Otherwise, even with exceptional talent, he couldn't have reached the late Core Formation stage so young without the mysterious small bottle that accelerates medicinal growth."
"The other technique, the 'Phoenix Cultivation Method,' is specifically for Nascent Soul cultivators. Unlike the 'Dragon Capturing Technique,' it requires a virgin Core Formation female cultivator to dual cultivate. Once the female cultivator reaches a high level of this technique, the male cultivator can use a secret art to forcibly break through their bottleneck by absorbing her pure Yin essence. This requires the female's full cooperation and sufficient cultivation level."
