After their group cultivation, everyone slept for the entire day and night.
Paul was the first one to regain consciousness, discovering that he was surrounded by his ladies on all sides, and they were still sleeping.
Having no intention to disturb their rest, he remained motionless while trying to recall the events after Elaina kissed him, as that was the moment his memories cut out.
Before he could remember, he took a look at his cultivation and was surprised.
He was on the verge of a breakthrough to the supreme magus stage.
Additionally, all the ladies except Su were on the verge of breaking through to the next stages of their cultivation.
-This is ridiculous.
Paul thought.
Even though he expected something similar, it was still hard to believe that everyone would simply go up a stage after they took the pills and potions.
-If that is enough to surprise you, then what will you do the next time this happens?
His reincarnation soul asked in his mind.
-Do try to remember that this is the Mortal realm, so these pills and potions are considered weak compared to what's available in the other realms.
-I do remember, but look at all this progress, all the ladies will reach the fifth stage, while Anna will go to the sixth stage, and Su is already in the middle of the fifth stage.
Paul said.
The only one he was uncertain about was Elaina, since he had no direct reference to the elf's cultivation stages.
-Yeah, that physique of hers is like cheating.
She doesn't need to worry about her foundation, and once the soul beast in that egg hatches, she will become even more powerful.
Truth be told, she might catch up to you very quickly or even surpass you if this continues, but it can't be helped, since the rest of you need to build your foundation first.
The soul replied.
-For now, you should all focus on breaking through to the next stages, and the sooner the better.
That warning from Su's soul is worrying me a bit.
The soul added.
Paul managed not to sigh, hearing this.
He asked long ago why the reincarnation soul never told him its name, and the answer was simple.
It was better for him not to know its name, to avoid growing attached, and also, it could mess with Paul's identity as he accumulated more memories from his previous life.
Lastly, if he slipped up and said its name somewhere he shouldn't, it might cost him his life.
The same principle worked for Su, who was still trying her best to learn her reincarnation soul's name.
As for the warning, Paul took it very seriously, since his reincarnation soul never did anything that would not benefit him, so if the soul was worried, he was worried as well and tried his best to prepare for any eventuality, which was all he could actually do for the moment.
While they were talking, the ladies started to wake up, and all of them blushed one after the other when they discovered where they were and that all of them were naked.
Additionally, unlike Paul, they did remember everything, which made them blush even harder.
When Paul noticed their reaction, he had an urge to laugh, but stopped himself, not wanting to piss them all off.
-Are you all alright?
He asked instead, and the ladies nodded one after the other.
-That's good, since I don't remember what exactly happened and was worried I might have been rough with you.
He sighed in relief.
-You were far from gentle, but it was great.
Irine said with a slight smile.
She was the first one to get over everything that happened and decided to accept it, since it looked like this would not be the last time, and she did enjoy her first experience with group cultivation.
The other ladies agreed, but it would take them some more time to get over everything that happened, especially since all of them were kissing and pleasuring their other sisters when Paul was busy.
After some more chatting, they all went to have a bath and something to eat before dispersing to their rooms to start their breakthrough.
Su was the only exception to that since she had already gone up a stage.
-You will need to guard us, and it would be a good idea to cultivate all the Yang Qi while you're at it.
Paul explained to her when she asked what she was supposed to do while they were breaking through.
Xiao Su had no problem standing guard, since this was important, and she also focused on her cultivation while doing so.
As the ladies went to their rooms, Paul went back to the gazebo, since it would be the best place for his breakthrough, considering the amount of Yin Qi still trapped inside.
For the next week, the mansion was quiet, and the only changes occurred when Su changed the energy crystal for the barrier, which made her guard duty easier since no one could get inside without a bracelet or breaking down the barrier itself.
During this week, the ladies advanced in stages one after the other, with Elaina being the first one to break through, since her advancement was always faster than the others.
In the end, all the ladies had broken through within five days, reaching the fifth stage, and in Anna's case, the sixth stage.
Su also went up a few more levels, and it would not take long for her to reach the sixth stage as well.
The only one who was still secluded was Paul, since his breakthrough was a double one once again.
But he only took two more days than the ladies before he entered the seventh stage in both cultivation's.
This made him less worried since, at this stage, there were not that many people in this realm who would even consider pissing him off or targeting him, and that was only him alone.
Added to the power his ladies now wielded, even the powerful families and sects could not simply brush them off.
On top of that, Paul's reputation as a healer also spread, adding another deterrent for anyone looking for trouble.
-So what do we do now?
Su asked once Paul emerged from his breakthrough.
-We continue to cultivate, but we can end the seclusion for now, since I'm sure Uncle and Aunt would like to hear about our progress.
Also, I'm almost certain that some people are looking for me to heal them or their relatives, by now.
Paul answered.
He didn't need to add that he wanted to talk with Xiao Han and Liu Lili about his relationship with Su.
Not to mention that it would be a good Idea for him to earn some more money before they went to the higher realm, since he expected that his fortune, which was substantial down here, would not mean much in the beginning realm.
The ladies also had the same ideas, and Irine needed to deliver all the orders she had completed.
Just like he thought, the moment they took down the barrier and walked out, there were three servants from different families waiting at the entrance gate to their mansion, with invitations for Paul to come and try healing their relatives.
He accepted the invitations, replying that he would visit their families as soon as he was done talking with the province lord.
The servants thanked him and left to inform the families, after explaining the details, allowing Paul to decide on the order in which he would visit the families, setting the most severe case as the priority.
