A quarter of an hour passed, and Ning Chen finished copying the first talent.
Peach Blossom, after her first experience, collapsed from exhaustion. Her body twitched weakly before going limp, resting on Ning Chen’s broad chest.
Unbothered, Xu Qingyao lightly raised her jade-like wrist, using spiritual energy to remove Peach Blossom with a soft “pop,” then unceremoniously pushed her onto the ground.
“Don’t just lie there enjoying yourself—hurry up and channel your energy to refine it. If it all spills out, you’ll have nowhere to cry later.”
Her sharp words snapped Peach Blossom back to reality. The blissful haze dissipated as she quickly pressed a hand to her abdomen, sitting up with some discomfort.
Xu Qingyao turned her gaze to the remaining women.
To ensure Ning Chen remained comfortable during the process, she once again took up the role of his soft, supportive pillow.
Apricot Blossom swallowed nervously. Despite her apprehension towards the Soul-Devouring Spear, she stepped forward quickly, afraid that waiting too long might leave her with an insufficient share of the precious nectar.
She underestimated Ning Chen’s endurance, though. His body, tempered to perfection, was practically invincible.
As long as he desired—or if sufficiently tempted—he could hold his ground all day without faltering.
Even if the “ammunition depot” were somehow depleted, it would fully replenish by the next day.
He was, truly, unbeatable.
With a precedent already set, Apricot Blossom, though inexperienced, executed her steps perfectly. However, she overestimated her own capacity.
Attempting to replicate Xu Qingyao’s initial demonstration, she boldly dove in, only to pale halfway through. She gritted her teeth, determined to push through the discomfort, even as her body protested.
Ning Chen couldn’t help but grimace. Her reckless approach wasn’t doing either of them any favors.
Fortunately, the experienced Xu Qingyao intervened. “What are you doing? Do you even know your limits? If you break yourself, can you afford to fix it?”
Adjusting the depth, speed, and force to optimal levels, she quickly resolved the situation. Soon, melodious cries, as sweet as an oriole’s song, filled the air.

As Apricot Blossom reached her peak and collapsed, trembling, a sudden surge of energy erupted from Peach Blossom, who was seated on the ground refining the nectar.
Golden Core Stage Level 2!
Golden Core Stage Level 3!
The abrupt breakthrough shocked the remaining five women, who hadn’t yet participated.
Peach Blossom slowly opened her eyes, tears of joy streaming down her face. Her excitement was palpable.
“Fifteen years… I’ve been stuck for fifteen years, and now I’ve finally broken through!”
And not just by one stage—by two!
What’s more, the divine nectar had tempered her body during its circulation, subtly enhancing her aptitude.
The sheer miraculous nature of this substance left her in awe. To think that such a treasure could be produced continuously by the young man lying on the bed!
The other women—Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and Camellia—were green with envy.
Even without explicit details of Peach Blossom’s advancement, the residual aura she emitted was proof enough: she had surpassed them all.
All eyes turned to Ning Chen.
Could this youth truly be the reincarnation of an immortal?
His flawless features, tall and well-built physique, broad shoulders, and sculpted muscles resembled the pinnacle of divine craftsmanship. Simply gazing upon him stirred the most primal desires.
Yet, the sight of the languid woman draped over him was an undeniable eyesore.
“Ye Yu, finish up already!”
“Yeah! You’re holding us up!”
Despite their protests, Apricot Blossom ignored them, savoring the moment until Xu Qingyao forcibly removed her.
This time, the remaining women wasted no time. They even jostled to decide the order, resorting to basic, non-lethal catfighting instead of using spiritual energy.
Ning Chen watched the spectacle with amusement. He particularly enjoyed watching women squabble, especially when the “battle” involved clothes being torn off.
Five pairs of unique, bouncing curves filled the room with chaotic allure.
Ultimately, the usually dignified Bamboo Blossom triumphed. Utilizing cunning and quick reflexes, she leveraged her rivals’ movements to her advantage, sprinting forward to claim her spot while the others cursed her shamelessness.
Prepared and eager, she wasted no time in getting started.
