Chapter 334: 334. So engrossed in the Martial Path, he has no time for the joy of men and women.
"Planes, tanks, and cannons just aren't brave enough! You gotta have at least a thermobaric bomb or tactical nuclear warheads to feel secure in your heart."
Life is not a game, and enemies won't line up to fight you one by one from weakest to strongest like the gourd brothers saving their grandpa.
You've got to have some real self-defense trump cards!
Just as Lu Yao was pondering about going back to Yukolun to stir up some trouble, Liao Ya came over shyly to remind him:
"Junior Brother, aren't you going to take advantage of the effects of the Orchid Fragrance to cultivate properly?"
Lu Yao responded with a playful grin, "No worries, once the effect wears off, I'll just come sniff you again~"
To produce such a fragrance, Liao Ya had to endure quite a bit of discomfort herself. Blushing, she punched her junior brother a few times and then pulled him to cultivate together.
The focus of everyone currently was on cultivating 'Dragon Subduing Palm: Regret of the Dragon'.
The move given by Master Zuo was an overarching 'Cultivation Method'.
In terms of value, it was much higher than 'Tathagata Divine Palm: Buddha Shakes Mountains and Rivers'.
After all, no matter how powerful the latter was, it was just one technique, at most offering a glimpse into the mysteries of merging Spirit Refining with the Martial Path.
Whereas 'Dragon Subduing Palm: Dragon's Regret' came with a 'Cultivation Method' that led directly to the Golden Body Realm, which was incredibly precious.
Having obtained this technique, it was as if Lu Yao already possessed 90% of the entire palm technique! It was a clear sign of Master Zuo's high regard and mentorship.
At this moment, Lu Yao had already mastered the technique and cultivation method of 'Dragon Subduing Palm: Dragon's Regret' by leveraging his state of Spirit Refining.
The current difficulty lay in his desire to cultivate it alongside 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill' and 'Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield'.
After all, the body-forging effects of these two divine skills were extraordinary and should not be neglected.
"If I could simultaneously cultivate all three divine skills, my cultivation speed would surely reach an extreme peak, but that's indeed quite difficult..."
'Dragon Subduing Palm' is not a 'brute force technique' like the other two.
This divine skill harmoniously combines strength and softness; when practicing the cultivation method, it starts from the Governor Vessel to the hand's Lunar Lung Meridian, passing through 36 aperture points... It's very complex!
So much so, that Lu Yao had been struggling for a whole week without success.
Even under the influence of Orchid Fragrance, with a surge in cellular activity and a boost in bodily functions, he still hadn't achieved Tri-Cultivation.
By this time, the two sisters had already practiced the skill twice.
They were seen with their left legs slightly bent, right arms bent inwards, and right palms drawing a circle and blasting a wave of Qi towards each other through the air.
Their palms met with a loud 'boom'.
The two sisters exerted 70% of their strength in a palm strike, then exchanged insights and pointed out each other's inadequacies.
Watching Lu Yao still pondering, Liao Qi trotted over, rubbing his face and cooingly said, "Don't be too greedy~ Just take your time to practice."
Lu Yao kissed the sweet-scented fingers of his sister and said:
"Time waits for no one. The great powers will soon turn their attention back to us. 'When you're successful, you should help the world.' I must do something, and can't let down Master Zuo's expectations for nothing."
The sisters gazed unblinkingly at their man, their beautiful eyes shining with pride, liking the "great hero" persona Lu Yao was projecting at the moment.
But the next sentence shattered the atmosphere completely.
"So, I'm already under a lot of pressure. Let's sleep together tonight, and we can even save a room~"
"Go to hell!" x2
Lu Yao was again showered with playful punches, considering it a massage.
Just then, the sound of something cutting through the sky at high speed was heard; Ping An was bringing back Li Pei and his disciple.
~~~~~~~~
The two women didn't wait for the Spiritual Sparrowhawk to land before leaping down agilely.
Yu Yanmei, still flushed, nodded coldly to everyone and swiftly made her way back to the pleasure boat at the dock.
After her master left, Li Pei could only say helplessly, "She just loves riding the Spiritual Sparrowhawk, insisting on a daily flight together."
The Spiritual Sparrowhawk, proud by nature, absolutely refused to let outsiders ride it, so Yu Yanmei could only hitch a 'windy ride' with her disciples for fun.
Lu Yao chuckled, unconcerned, and continued his cultivation.
At that moment, Li Pei's eyes flickered as if she were preoccupied with a thought.
Once her lord has left, she quickly pulled the two sisters aside and whispered, "The lord has advanced to the Innate Realm, and the Imperial Court will confer the title 'Grand General of the Nation,' do you know that?"
The sisters nodded in agreement, "Yes, we know. The title is conferred as a mark of favor."
Li Pei, with a serious expression, said, "After the conferment, there will be official 'three wives and four concubines.' Do you want a few more sisters?"
The sisters shook their heads vehemently, definitely not wanting that.
But as Innate Martial Artists, they are entitled to have three legitimate wives. What can be done about that?
Li Pei nodded and said, "If you don't want it, naturally I do not wish it either. Since that's the case, I'll immediately send a telegram to the capital city and submit your two names for 'three wives,' so that the quota for three wives will be taken up by us three! As for concubines..."
Li Pei proudly thrust out her full, round chest and declared, "Those who are willing to be concubines, we sisters certainly won't be afraid!"
According to the rules, the two sisters, being close as sworn sisters, would not take up the quota of wives and concubines.
Li Pei's move was to secure their places, leaving no room for others.
Liao Ya, with a complicated look, stared at this Royal Lady and said speechlessly, "Sister Li, I still remember you saying to me—you wouldn't mind a man having three wives and four concubines..."
Liao Qe chimed in, "Mhm, you've said that to me too."
Li Pei did indeed say that, but that was then, this is now.
She smoothed her hair, narrowed her eyes, and said with a crooked smile, "Did I say that? I don't remember~"
Liao Ya: ...
Liao Qe: ...
"Anyway~ we must unite and drive away all those enchanting and cheap vixens~"
Just as Li Pei was rallying her sisters against outsiders, the sound of a flute suddenly came from the void.

The tone was round and gentle, tranquil and elegant, conveying emotions through the music—it was the tune of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix."
The comer's Spirit Refining Stage must be at the Fetal Breath Realm!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yao immediately came out and looked in the direction of the Su River.
After a while, a group of women came elegantly in the dance step of the rainbow garments.
They were all draped in yellow gauze, holding oil-paper umbrellas decorated with lotus flowers, their movements graceful as if dancing.
Then, a woman holding a long flute, wearing an ethereal qixiong ruqun dress, stepped on an oil-paper umbrella and floated towards them gracefully.
This remarkable feat of walking on air was indeed the ability of "Energy Control" of the Innate Realm.
The woman approached Lu Yao with a coquettish smile and gave a deep curtsy, "This humble one is the Holy Maiden of the Golden Lotus Sect—Li Yuechan, long admiring the great name of Young Master Lu, I am most fortunate to meet you today."
This Li Yuechan, with a face and figure that were absolutely stunning and cultivation that was not ordinary, obviously came to do something that went without saying with such a fox-like charm.
Li Pei and the others were on high alert as Liao Ya discreetly reminded, "The Golden Lotus Sect is one of the top sects in the north, and its sect master is at the Golden Body Realm."
Lu Yao flared his nostrils slightly, and asked indifferently, "I wonder what brings the Holy Maiden here?"
Li Yuechan smiled enchantingly, "I have come especially to seek an alliance through marriage with Young Master Lu. As long as we are joined in matrimony, my Holy Lotus Sect will open up all resources for your use. Moreover, these 15 attendants of mine are also at your disposal."
The attendants holding umbrellas also curtsied gracefully to Lu Yao. Among them, beauties like autumn chrysanthemums were all enchanting, each one absolutely stunning.
Li Pei and the other two exchanged glances, their hearts rising to their throats.
All three sisters knew full well that their man was quite the lecher, always tormenting them with all sorts of antics.
Seeing so many stunning beauties now, they worried he might agree on the spot!
But Lu Yao flared his nostrils again, hiding the disgust in his eyes, and said indifferently, "I appreciate the Holy Maiden's kind offer. I am immersed in the Martial Path and have no interest in the joys of men and women, farewell~"
