Chapter 402: Chapter 341: Favoring the Consorts (Part 2)
That night, Zheng Yi stayed over at Consort Runx’s Shuirun Palace.
Wen Biyu experienced intimacy for the first time, but her personality was very open and bold.
Under Zheng Yi’s deliberate guidance, she tried various positions and pleasures on the first night, which made Zheng Yi feel quite novel.
It was not until after midnight that Wen Biyu fell into a deep sleep, unaware of anything.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder she is called Consort Runx, the name truly fits..."
Looking at the bed, which was already soaked, Zheng Yi could only shake his head and personally carried Wen Biyu into the bath, washing her clean.
Under the dim light, Wen Biyu’s skin was tender and white like jade, emitting a faint jade-colored glow, very novel.
Her figure was also plump and smooth, making Zheng Yi reluctant to part, his hands full of tenderness.
After bathing, he carried Wen Biyu back to the sleeping quarters.
The bed had already been tidied up, with fresh beddings.
"Your Majesty~ This concubine hurts so much, please be gentle~"
In her sleep, Wen Biyu mumbled something, which filled Zheng Yi with pity.
After settling her down, Zheng Yi activated his divine thought and connected with the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.

Wen Biyu had a three-attribute mid-grade spirit root, including the Fire Attribute Spirit Root that Zheng Yi needed, which replenished his foundation.
Watching the sleeping Wen Biyu, Zheng Yi slowly closed his eyes.
For the next three days, Zheng Yi stayed with Wen Biyu, letting her fully enjoy the joy of newlyweds.
Moreover, Zheng Yi bestowed numerous cultivation techniques, elixirs, and magical artifacts upon her.
He brought her to Cui Xiabing, asking her to guide Wen Biyu onto the path of cultivation.
Next, it was Consort Rou Kong Qingrou’s turn.
As a daughter of the Kong Family, Kong Qingrou was very well-educated and showed great respect towards Zheng Yi.
However, what displeased Zheng Yi was that Kong Qingrou refused to have the lights on during their marital duties.
To protect Kong Qingrou’s dignity, Zheng Yi let her be.
During the affair, she only allowed one position, and she clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, her body trembling as if terrified.
Only after Zheng Yi moved for an incense stick’s time did she show some reaction.
To this, Zheng Yi felt a bit displeased but decided to overlook it considering her inexperience.

Kong Qingrou had a four-attribute low-grade spirit root.
Zheng Yi did not pay much attention to this; having her was neither a lot nor little, better than nothing.
Although somewhat displeased with Kong Qingrou, Zheng Yi favored her for three days, no different from other consorts.
He even taught her cultivation equally.
Unfortunately.
In Zheng Yi’s view, with her low-grade spirit root, even with cultivation, she could at most reach the middle-stage Qi Cultivation.
Three days later, it was Consort Yun Zhang Xiaoyun’s turn.
This woman was born into a Youzhou Military Household and was skilled in archery and horseback riding from a young age.
Even in the marital bed, she was extremely bold, even more so than Wen Biyu.
For the first time, Zheng Yi felt the joy of riding during marital duties with a novice concubine.
Afterward, Zhang Xiaoyun couldn’t get out of bed for several days, making Zheng Yi find it amusing.

[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, Water Attribute Spirit Root +1.]
Compared to Wen Biyu and Kong Qingrou, Zhang Xiaoyun’s aptitude was poorer, with a five-attribute pseudo spirit root.
Zhang Xiaoyun’s five-attribute pseudo spirit root seemed similar to Zheng Yi’s five-attribute spirit root, but the difference was significant.
Zheng Yi’s five attributes could be enhanced through dual cultivation with women.
Such as his Water Attribute Spirit Root, which had already become a top-grade spirit root.
In time, it could even become a top-grade spirit root.
But Zhang Xiaoyun’s five-attribute pseudo spirit root was predestined, with no chance to increase.
In her lifetime, unless there were tremendous resources, she could at most reach early-stage Qi Cultivation.
After taking in these three consorts with spirit roots, Zheng Yi directly called on Su Xi.
Granddaughter of Tianxingzi.
After several years in the Imperial Palace, Su Xi had resigned to her fate.
She was destined to be Zheng Yi’s concubine.
Under the deliberate arrangement of the Empress, Consort Jie, and Consort Yuu, Zheng Yi’s favor towards Su Xi was a foregone conclusion.
It’s a pity Tianxingzi wasn’t in the capital due to recruiting cultivator clans, or they could have shared a wedding toast.

As the granddaughter of Tianxingzi, Su Xi’s spirit root aptitude was quite excellent.
Gold and Fire dual attributes, top-grade spirit root!
Among all cultivators with spirit roots, she was among the best.
After the favor, Su Xi was conferred the title of ’Consort Xi’, residing in Tianxing Palace.
After arranging everything, Zheng Yi once again summoned the rest of the Noble Ladies.
Compared to Su Xi and the other four consorts, Zheng Yi didn’t have as many plans for the other ordinary Noble Ladies.
The Wine Pool and Meat Forest reopened, with three to five, or even over ten people a day, causing a great upheaval in the harem, with many Noble Ladies lining up.
There was no way around it; the greatest benefit from these ordinary women for Zheng Yi was longevity!
[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan +17;]
[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan +19;]
[Absorbing Pure Yin Qi, lifespan +15...]
Years of lifespan kept increasing, a hundred, two hundred, three hundred, a thousand years...
As ten years ago, all the concubines under fourteen years old were specially retained by him, to be nurtured for a few more years.
Under this bizarre cultivation, although the Imperial Court had many criticisms, under the prestige Zheng Yi accumulated over the years, they could not raise much contention before being quelled.
A year later, over three thousand Noble Ladies had been favored.
Zheng Yi’s lifespan had reached an astonishing 55,220 years!
Fifty-five thousand years of lifespan!
With such a lifespan, Zheng Yi didn’t even dare to imagine.
Purely in terms of lifespan, Zheng Yi was confident that he could exceed true immortals!
After acquiring such a vast longevity, the first thing he did was extract over six thousand drops of essence blood, infusing them into the Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit to aid in its growth.
Nowadays, the Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit had grown into a tree over two people tall.
The Black Jade King Cauldron could no longer contain it.
For this, Zheng Yi specially transplanted it to the rear mountain of Celestial Longevity Mountain.
The roots penetrated straight into Celestial Longevity Mountain, and the branches all spread out.
A large amount of essence blood was infused into the Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit’s roots, soaking most of the rear mountain in a blood-red hue.
As if sensing its extraordinary nature, even the spiritual Qi on Celestial Longevity Mountain began to resonate.
They gathered in mid-air, forming clouds of spiritual Qi mist, shrouding over the Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit, slowly rotating.
There was even a trickle of spiritual rain descending, falling upon it.
Recalling the strange scene of that day, Zheng Yi was deeply shocked.
He wondered just how long it would take for this Reincarnation Nine-child Fruit to mature?
Moreover, Zheng Yi’s cultivation had reached the tenth-layer Qi Cultivation during this over a year of silent cultivation.
Peak of Qi Cultivation!
Just one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
To ensure a steady breakthrough, Zheng Yi issued a Holy Decree, relocating a vast amount of resources to Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Even the consorts with spirit roots, under his arrangement, gradually moved to the Celestial Longevity Mountain Palace to get accustomed to life there.
After completing all these arrangements, Zheng Yi once again gathered the Cabinet.
"Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi gently raised a hand, saying, "Rise, my loyal subjects."
"I have something to discuss with all of you."
