As the golden hue of the evening sun spilled through the ornate windows, I stirred awake. The luxurious silk sheets barely clung to my body, yet the warmth from the two beautiful women beside me was noticeably absent.
Wang Xiuying and Wang Hua were gone. I sighed softly, the lingering scent of their delicate fragrance still clinging to the air. Stretching lazily, I pushed myself upright. My body felt light, though the pleasant soreness from the day's indulgences reminded me of how thoroughly we had enjoyed ourselves.
But hunger gnawed at me. I hadn't eaten a single meal since morning, and spending my energy on both Xiuying and Wang Hua had certainly taken its toll. With that thought, I headed for the bathroom.
The cool rush of water cascaded over me, washing away the remnants of sweat and passion. My muscles relaxed under the soothing warmth. Every drop of water seemed to rejuvenate me, though a lingering hunger still tugged at my stomach.
After a long, refreshing shower, I stepped out naked, droplets sliding down my skin as I dried myself with a soft cloth. But the moment I exited the bathroom, a pleasant surprise awaited me.
There they were. Wang Xiuying and Wang Hua, standing gracefully with trays of steaming dishes carefully placed on the table before them, a glowing golden lotus mark on their glabella.
Their delicate smiles brightened the room, and the faint blush on their cheeks made them all the more alluring. "You two spoil me too much," I said, a playful grin tugging at my lips.
They exchanged shy glances before Xiuying stepped closer. "It is our duty and pleasure to serve you to the best of our abilities."
Hua nodded in agreement, her soft voice barely above a whisper. "We wanted to make sure you were well fed... and satisfied."
My hands instinctively reached for them, pulling their supple bodies against mine. I tilted my head down, savoring the softness of their lips as I kissed them one by one enjoying the warmth of their affection.
"Thank you," I murmured against their lips. "For everything."
With a contented hum, they helped me dress. Xiuying's fingers traced delicately along the hem of my robe as she fastened it, while Hua smoothed the fabric over my shoulders. The gentle touches and shared glances were filled with unspoken affection.
Once dressed, we moved to the low dining table, where an exquisite meal awaited. The aroma of roasted meats, fragrant rice, and delicately spiced vegetables filled the air. Every dish was meticulously prepared, a testament to their care.
Xiuying poured a cup of warm rice wine, the translucent liquid reflecting the golden light. Hua, ever attentive, served me a generous portion of the tender meat, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as I took the first bite.
The meal continued in comfortable silence, broken only by the occasional laughter and soft murmurs. With every mouthful bite, the warmth of their presence surrounded me.
While savoring the delicacies spread before me, a thought crossed my mind. Curiosity itched at the back of my mind. "I should check my status." while eating.
With a single thought, a blue screen materialized in front of me. The familiar translucent interface gleamed, displaying my current condition.

My brows furrowed. "Age 18/172? What the hell?"
It was unsettling, like peering into a past I couldn't remember. Did that mean I had a lifespan of 172 years? Or... had I lived that long before? No, that couldn't be right. Is it that with each cultivation realm my lifespan increases?
And then there was the matter of my cultivation.
Despite clearly being in Qi Refinement II realm, the status still labeled me as a Mortal. The inconsistency bothered me. Was this because I hadn't advanced past the foundational stage? Or was it tied to the fact that I cultivated in Qi, Body, and Spirit simultaneously? Or is it due to phase difference? We'll find out eventually.
"Most people stick to a single cultivation path," I mused, chewing thoughtfully on a piece of roasted duck. Focusing all their effort on one path allowed them to progress faster and smoother. After all, spreading one's resources and energy across multiple aspects was inefficient. That's why dual or triple path cultivators were rare, too much effort, too little return.
But it seemed the system had once again bent the rules for me.
"I break through one realm, and all three aspects follow without struggle. No bottlenecks. No complications."
A grin tugged at my lips. That was an overwhelming advantage. Even without combat techniques or movement skills, I was already above most cultivators at the same realm in terms of sheer physical and spiritual power.
But one thing still puzzled me.
"I've already been intimate with Wang Xiuying and Wang Hua twice now. So why haven't I unlocked any alchemy abilities?"
The system had explicitly stated that my cultivation could progress through intimacy, but there seemed to be limits to how it worked. No combat techniques, no movement skills, and now, no alchemy knowledge.
A thought struck me. "Could it be… I need to be intimate with an alchemist to gain alchemy skills?"
It was a reasonable guess. If my abilities were tied to the partner's profession or cultivation level, then it made sense.
"So if I want to become a renowned alchemist, I just need to find a beautiful alchemist to… 'cultivate' with no matter what her mastery level is."
The thought lingered, and a chuckle escaped me. How absurd. But then again, wasn't my entire existence absurd at this point?
I took another sip of wine, the rich warmth spreading through my body. Wang Xiuying and Wang Hua exchanged soft smiles, their eyes glimmering with satisfaction as I wolfed down the food they prepared for me.
After finishing my meal, I leaned back slightly and asked, "How many alchemists are there in the Wang Family?"
Xiuying, the third daughter of the family, was quick to respond, her voice tinged with a sense of pride. "There are five alchemists in the Wang Family, including Zeming. The rest are hired elders who manage the family's business affairs."
She paused briefly, a glint of admiration flickering in her eyes. "My second brother's wife, Wang Yuxi, is a respected 1-star alchemist in the city. My eldest sister, Wang Jia, is known as a genius, having already attained the rank of a 3-star alchemist."
Her expression grew even more reverent as she continued. "But the true pillars of our family are my father, Wang Jiang, and my grandfather, Wang Lihua. Both of them are esteemed 4-star alchemists, with Grandpa holding the title of Pavilion Master at the Alchemist Association."
There was no mistaking the pride in her voice, the weight of her family's reputation firmly resting on her words.
