Time always passes quickly during cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, three days and three nights had passed.

In a boudoir filled with a delicate, lingering fragrance, deep behind brocade curtains, Ling Changqing lay in the middle of the embroidered bed, his eyes half-closed in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

The tall and voluptuous Ling Bingyun lay nestled in his left arm, while the curvaceous and alluring Tang Qiu Yao was on his right, clinging to him like an octopus.

Fu Yin Xue, whose figure was nothing short of explosive, lay on her stomach before him. Her lustrous, jet-black hair cascaded like a waterfall over the Phoenix Harmony Brocade Quilt.

As for Ling Yulu, Qin Yun, Ling Yuzhu, Xue Qingtan, and Meng Feiyu, the women were sprawled about in disarray. Their flushed, beautiful faces were tranquil and gentle, their dazzling, snow-white bodies on full display.

After Ling Bingyun's reminder the last time they were together, Ling Qiyue had given it much thought and decided to spare no expense, commissioning a larger, more luxurious Beautiful Jade Embroidery Bed.

Compared to the old one, this new bed was more than double in size, taking up nearly a third of the private chamber. The matching sheets, quilts, light fixtures, and even certain... indescribable implements were all custom-made.

In other words, if Ling Changqing ever felt so inclined, there would be no problem gathering twenty or thirty women to "compete" and cultivate together on this bed.

After a long while, Ling Changqing shifted slightly. Fu Yin Xue, lying before him, wriggled in response. The lashes on her fair, jade-like face fluttered like a raven's feathers, and her beautiful, limpid eyes finally opened.

"Husband, you're awake?"

Her soft, smooth voice whispered in his ear, her breath as fragrant as an orchid.

He had to admit, the combat prowess of a Body Cultivator was truly formidable. Even Ling Qiyue, who had the highest cultivation among them, and Meng Feiyu, who had practiced a special Seduction Secret Technique, were left in the dust.

As for Qin Yun, Ling Zhiqing, and the others, it went without saying. Their combined "prowess" couldn't hold a candle to Fu Yin Xue's.

If Ling Changqing himself hadn't also practiced a High Rank Body Cultivation Technique, he would have likely been completely dominated by Fu Yin Xue, with no hope of turning the tables.

Ling Changqing exhaled and said gently, "It's getting late. Time to get up and take care of business."

"Mm, we know."

Beside him, Tang Qiu Yao murmured, her beautiful face blushing as she gently turned over.

Her soft, curvaceous body pressed against Ling Changqing. She pursed her glossy cherry lips, clearly not yet satisfied.

Qin Yun, her black hair like a waterfall, shot her a look and pouted. "Still not satisfied, Sister? Husband gave you most of his Spiritual Mechanism Dao Rhyme these past few days."

Qin Yun was a little peeved about that. After all, her cultivation was also approaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and she needed the Spiritual Mechanism Dao Rhyme just as much.

"Being satisfied is only temporary. There'll be plenty more to eat in the future!"

Tang Qiu Yao grabbed hold of him, caressing him gently as she spoke with a dazzling smile.

Ling Qiyue, whose beautiful face was both dignified and gentle, asked with a smile, "This time, little sister, you should be able to enter seclusion and attempt to break through to the Core Formation Realm, right?"

Considering Tang Qiu Yao was about to attempt Core Formation, Ling Changqing had indeed given her special attention this time, providing her with the most Spiritual Mechanism Dao Rhyme until she was practically overflowing.

"I've accumulated enough, but I'll still need you to protect me during my breakthrough, Husband!"

Tang Qiu Yao said, overcome with bashfulness.

Ling Changqing replied gently, "Of course. I'll be there when you enter seclusion."

If Tang Qiu Yao succeeded, the Ling Family of Changqing Continent would have three publicly known Golden Core Masters, further strengthening their control over the entire Feiyu Sea Region.

The women's rapid improvement in cultivation was primarily thanks to Ling Changqing, of course. Other contributing factors included a High Grade Dual Cultivation Technique and a massive amount of Cultivation Resources.

The latter two conditions could be provided even by a Nascent Soul power. However, Ling Changqing's contribution was unique; not even major powers at the Divinity Transformation Realm or higher could offer such an advantage.

According to Ling Qiyue's calculations, to completely secure their foundation in the Feiyu Sea Region, the Ling Family would need at least ten Core Formation Cultivators garrisoning the area. Pseudo Core Cultivators didn't count toward this total.

However, besides Changqing Continent, the Feiyu Sea Region had no shortage of islands with Third Grade Spirit Veins, such as the Moonlight Islands, Yu Long Island, and the Qianyun Islands.

If all these Third Grade Spirit Veins were fully developed and utilized, they could support fifty Core Formation Cultivators in year-round cultivation in seclusion, not to mention hundreds of Pseudo Core Cultivators.

When that day came, the Ling Family of Changqing Continent would be a true, established Golden Core power.

"...It's a shame the Feiyu Sea Region doesn't have a Grade Four Spirit Vein. Otherwise, once you become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, Sister, the Ling Family of Changqing Continent could be promoted to a Nascent Soul power!"

Tang Qiu Yao said this with a touch of regret.

Ling Changqing smiled. "There's no rush for that. Once the family has enough Core Formation Cultivators, we can simply continue to expand."

The Feiyu Sea Region was near the eastern coast of the Yuzhou Continent. Instead of venturing into the deep ocean, one could follow the coastline and discover a great number of islands of various sizes, island chains, and archipelagos.

Several of the largest islands were even bigger than places like Changqing Continent or Hanyue Continent, and they possessed true Grade Four Spirit Veins.

For now, however, these territories were all occupied by multiple established Golden Core powers. As for Pseudo Core and Foundation Establishment small powers, they were as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

'Once the Ling Family is strong enough, we'll definitely have to seize those territories,' Ling Changqing thought.

'Another option is to expand onto the Yuzhou mainland itself and occupy a rich territory in a coastal region.'

'But that would inevitably lead to a premature conflict with the major powers native to Yuzhou. The risk would be too high and difficult to control, so it's not a suitable path for now.'
