Qingyi glanced briefly at his status screen, hesitating for a moment before clicking to upgrade his lineage and constitution.

[Initiating bloodline improvement...]

[Initiating constitution improvement...]

The moment those two system notifications arrived, his entire body burst into flames, a pained grunt escaping his lips.

Feeling the draconic Qi explode in his Dantian, he gritted his teeth. He didn't know what change was taking place in his bloodline, but he was sure it was something big.

Slowly, his skin began to crack. A blackened light escaped from between the cracks, taking over the whole room.

At the same time, the strands of draconic Qi in his dantian multiplied, quickly reaching more than seven hundred, so numerous that they had already formed their own flow.

[Lineage improved! Mortal grade -> Silver grade]

[Constitution improved! Mortal grade -> Silver grade]

[The lineage skill 'Black Dragon Scales' has been upgraded! Low level -> medium level]

"Ah..." Qingyi heaved a sigh of relief as he stood up.

Looking at his hands, he activated the black dragon scales. His body was quickly covered in black armor, similar to how it was before, but different.

The scales were much thicker, claws forming on his fingers and what looked like growing wings appearing on his back. Even the scales on his head had changed, with two small black horns rising from the top.

In addition to the visual change, he could easily see that the resistance of that protective ability had increased at least tenfold.

Qingyi prepared himself for a brief moment before punching, covering his hand with gray flames. The very mana around him burned as the temperature rose.

He wanted to test the power of his attack using the resistance of that cultivation room, but changed his mind the next moment, drawing back his power and realizing something.

He could barely feel that heat under the black dragon's scales, but the walls of the cultivation room, on the other hand, were already melting.

He had barely used the primordial chaos flames for more than a few moments. How could this be possible?

"I really need a tough battle to see the limits of this law..." He shook his head.

It was obvious that this law had extreme power. He could feel the primordial laws trembling whenever he used it, but knowing the real extent of the power of these flames was still something he would only be able to see in real battles.

After thinking about it for a moment, Qingyi sat down again, clicking to improve his cultivation.

It was time to finally enter the realm of ascension.

[Initiating breakthrough...]

A notification from the system reached Qingyi, whose body immediately exploded with power. His Qi spread violently, reaching the molten walls.

The Qis of fire, ice, sword and lightning took over the cultivation room, dividing it into four distinct parts, with Qingyi's body exactly in the center.

There was a big difference between the realm of transcendence and the realm of ascension, even though both were known as the first step to immortality.

The realm of transcendence was where a soul could transcend its body for a brief moment.

The realm of ascension, on the other hand, was where a body was tempered and prepared to receive an immortal receptacle, the first step of many tempers that lead to the realm of the true immortal.

Naturally, such tempering was painful. Every strand of Qi that left Qingyi's body returned the next moment, rushing through his muscles and bones, tearing apart everything it touched.

But when the pain stopped, when the muscles, meridians, bones and flesh regenerated, they were much stronger than before.

Qingyi's eyes, firmly closed, suddenly opened. The world around him lost some of its color as his Qi exploded in a powerful shockwave.

"That feels... good." He clenched his fists, calming his breathing and controlling his violent Qi.

Taking a few more hours to stabilize his base, Qingyi returned to the world of the mind.

"You made that many by yourself? How long did it take? How do you manage to maintain such consistent quality?" Meilin asked, looking at all the pills Feiyan had made.

Since all the girls had reached the limit of what those pills could supply, Feiyan had continued to make them just to train her alchemy skills, accumulating hundreds of them.

Currently, she was able to maintain an average purity of 90%, reaching 95% at its peak, a value that still made Meilin's head explode.

Even the alchemist from the Immortal Emperor realm who serves her father directly, one of the most renowned in the Empire of the Illuminated Sky, could only reach 96% purity, and that only rarely.

His pills were usually between 88-90% pure.

Hearing those words, Feiyan just puffed out her chest proudly: "It's all thanks to husband, he gave me a chance to be this great!"

Feiyan's beautiful brown eyes suddenly changed, her voice becoming a little more serious. "I wonder what would become of me if it weren't for him."

Perhaps a bitter wife of a young master who only wanted her body, an eternal mediocre cultivator or who knows, not even that.

She was so happy that, that day, she threw everything away and just launched herself into Qingyi's arms.

"You girls, what are you whispering about, huh?" Elize appeared next to Isabel and Ruxue, both carrying plates full of treats prepared by the purple-haired beauty.

"Uh... I'm Jin Meilin, it's a-" Meilin stood up, awkwardly introducing herself. Her parted mouth was silenced when Elize slipped a small piece of cake between her lips.

Meilin swallowed, her uncomfortable face soon filled with a subtle glow as that sweet taste spread across her tongue, bathing her body in a pleasure second only to the one Qingyi gave her.

Certainly the best thing she had ever eaten in her life.

Soon, all the other girls gathered around Meilin. Even Qingxue and Biyue hugged her, taking the time to get to know her better and telling her stories about when they first met Qingyi.

When the handsome young man finally found himself back in the world of Ruxue's mind, he found all his wives chatting animatedly, with Meilin looking much more comfortable than before.

"Oh... hubby!" Isabel was the first to notice Qingyi's presence, throwing herself into his arms and pulling him into the firm grip of her massive chocolatey tits.

"We were just talking about you, hehehe~~" She giggled, observing Qingyi's face between her breasts.

The handsome young man just smiled, steadying his hands on Isabel's ass as he led her towards the great purple palace on the horizon.

He wanted to talk about the next steps for selling those pills with Meilin, but a bit of dual cultivation first wouldn't hurt, would it?

All the other girls followed close behind Qingyi, watching his back with longing eyes.

It was good to have a happy harem.
