Old Out, New In

~~The Main Courtyard~~

"You have worked hard this time. Now that I have returned you may take your leave." Lei Jin said, appearing out of nowhere.

"As you command Master Lei Jin. This subordinate will take his leave first." Yong Sheng said as they all bowed and the World Bead returned to Lei Jin's control.

"Good! Oh, and Yong Sheng you and Yu Dao should go into seclusion soon and try to break through. The others can handle matters in your absence." Lei Jin said.

A gigantic smile appeared on Yong Sheng's face. "Thank you master Lei Jin. The Great-Papa and the All-Father!" Yong Sheng said, with a deal of excitement. He thought he might have been close however, hearing it from Lei Jin confirmed it for him. It was true that Yong Sheng had reached the peak of the third rank.

"Good! Now go and take care of other matters." Lei Jin said, satisfied with the response as he waved his hand and they all vanished.

Lei Jin crossed his legs and began cultivating again. It was time for him to organize his thoughts while he increased the amount of aura he had in the residence. His Goal was to double or triple the amount. He had an undetermined time to do this but it didn't matter since it was his own decision.

~~6 months later~~

Supreme Elder Azure Heart appeared with 5 peak 5th rank open heaven. All gave the look of hopefulness upon seeing the place they were at now.

"Jin'er these five women are the ones I chose. They fit all of the requirements. Though I have to ask. Do you need any men to try this method as well?" Supreme Elder Azure Heart said, with a slight hint of worry.

"It would be better if I could. You know very well the differences between Men and Women just as well as I, after all. But these women can certainly prove whether it's effective or not. If it doesn't work then it certainly won't work at all. Besides I think it will be more based on the individual themselves as opposed to their gender." Lei Jin said, looking at the five women standing before him.

"Good then I'll leave them with you. Go ahead and get started then." Supreme Elder Azure Heart said.

"I want the 5 of you to sit down and begin cultivating. I will give you each a resource 1 grade higher than your lowest one. After this you should search for the source of your small universe. Once you have done this. Begin refining the resources I gave you just now to the corresponding elements in the source." Lei Jin began explaining.

The five of them did this quickly. The Idea that they could eventually reach the 6th or even 7th rank open heaven, it would be worth it. No matter what fires they would have to go through to achieve it. That being said they all had a simple request to ask of Lei Jin. It also just so happened to be the reason Supreme Elder Azure Heart brought these ones along instead of any men. They were no good for this kind of talk.

The women searched and found their small universe's source or in other words the origin point. This method was different from the usual methods of cultivating. For good reason to. It was heavily risky at best. This method involved destabilizing their foundation. It was like swapping out a load bearing wall. All other things are easy but this was a very different problem.

"Good now begin circulating your sources strength through new higher ranked resources. Eventually the connection with the old weaker resource will fail and the connection with the new resource will become strong and stable. It is at this point when you should take the water I gave to each of you." Lei Jin instructed.

Each woman's small universe became incredibly unstable for a moment as they refined a link with their new resources. It was clearly working since the purity of their world force increased. This was enough to show that the cultivation method that Lei Jin had was working and effective. A critical moment came and they were all immediately struck with great difficulty.

"Take the Tai Yi Soul Cleansing Water now!" Lei Jin ordered, even ready to force it down their throats himself if he had to.

One of these women needed help so he took action instantly. There was a common calm that came from swallowing the water. It stabilized the connection entirely. The process had been completed successfully. The only real cost was with the Tai Yi Soul Cleansing water that Lei Jin had given the women. It was the last thing he needed to know about the Tai Yi Soul Cleansing Water.

"Excellent! Now Your cultivations have plummeted to the beginning of the 5th rank. I will provide you with resources and accommodations. So use those to go and cultivate in seclusion and recover your strength. Once you have reached the peak again we will do the process again." Lei Jin said, hiding his praise behind the words.

"Thank you Pillar Disciple Lei Jin. This method seems like it will work even if it takes a great degree of effort and riches to practice." One of the women said, saluting in thanks of Lei Jin's efforts.

"No need to be so polite. Lei Jin! Are you going to reward these young ladies for their efforts? I think you should. Ladies go ahead and ask Jin'er for something within reason. If it is something he can do then I'll make sure he does it." Supreme Elder Azure Heart said.

"It would please me to be rewarded for such efforts as well. Very well go ahead and ask away If I can do it I shall. Just make it reasonable." Lei Jin sighed, having been put on the spot again. He sort of had a feeling of what it was they were going to ask for. Yeah they were older than him but that didn't really mean anything since they definitely had disciples of their own that were likely trying to find a husband for.

"All of us sisters have Young Disciples that have just formed their Dao seals with the help of that scroll, Pillar Disciple gave to the Cave Heaven. We were hoping that Pillar Disciple would be willing to accept them as concubines in the future." One of the women said.
