Seeing their cards, some ladies were happy while some cursed their luck.
Wu Yin was first with 10.
Next to everyone's surprise was Rina, then Nia, Lan, Irine, Rin, Elaina, Ran, and the last one was Lia.
-Well, ladies, since we know who is first, I suggest you start getting ready.
I wasn't joking when I said you won't need to wait for too long.
Paul said with a grin before he left to prepare a few things.
The first of which was to set up a noise-canceling array, which his reincarnation soul suggested.
Anna was grateful for this since she intended to start breaking through that evening.
After that, he took a long bath, and lastly, he took a few pills that Jing Su had sent him to boost his stamina.
In the end, nine ladies were waiting to cultivate with him, and he would need it.
With everything ready, he sent Lia to his Aunt's, the city lord's mansion, and the Yang family mansion, to inform everyone that they would be focusing on cultivation for the next week, and didn't wish to be disturbed unless it was an emergency.
With that done, Paul started to cultivate with the ladies.
During that week, everyone's cultivation skyrocketed, but it was not without problems.
Rina and Irine had a bit of trouble getting used to having sex again since it had been a long time for the two of them.
Elaina was another problem, but it was not her fault, since the moment things got heated, she panicked.
It took Paul a while to calm her down.
The elf was still traumatized from all the things that were done to her by goblins.
She apologized, but Paul assured her that it was not her fault, and she didn't have to force herself, so she was the only one who didn't go through with it.
The other ladies very much enjoyed these days, especially the ones who had their first time, during this time.
Additionally, on the fourth day, Anna managed to break through, becoming a muscle and Tendon refining stage cultivator.
After her breakthrough, she joined the other ladies.
The only one who was not happy with this arrangement was Natalie, but she kept it to herself, knowing well that the day after her birthday, she could join the others and officially become Paul's woman.
On the sixth day, right after he finished cultivating with Wei Lan again.
Paul felt his cultivation rising to level 99 of the third stage and starting to break through the bottleneck.
-Lan, tell everyone that I'm breaking through.
He said right before, he focused on his breakthrough, which was already starting whether he wanted it or not.
That was the only downside to this way of cultivation, especially with so many ladies who had special physiques.
-Damn, that was fast.
Anna commented once Wei Lan informed them all about his breakthrough.
-It's not like we are so far away from breaking through as well.
Irine said, and she was right since most of the ladies were at most five levels from reaching the next stage.
Wei Lan reached level 98; Yin, Rina, and Irine were all now at level 96.
Rin and Ran were at level 95, while Nia and Lia were all at level 99, so they would also have a breakthrough soon.
Even Anna reached level 43 of muscle and tendon refinement stage, thanks to only two cultivation sessions with Paul.
-Considering that for the last week, we did nothing but cultivation, and four of us were still virgins when we started, I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
Wu Yin chimed in.
They all knew that Paul's cultivation technique was the slowest one, but despite that, he managed to go up another stage quite fast.
-Alright, ladies, we need to inform everyone about this.
Lan, go to the province lord's mansion.
Yin, you go to the Yang family, I'll go to the city lord's mansion.
The rest of you, guard this room and the gate, as usual; no one is permitted to interrupt his breakthrough.
Anna said, not bothering that all of them had the same status in the house, and all the ladies nodded in agreement.
Right now, Paul's safe breakthrough took precedence over anything else.
While the ladies got busy with their tasks, Paul was in trouble, as both his cultivations were triggered simultaneously this time, and he was unable to suppress one to focus on the other.
This made him unable to control his powers.
-Focus on mana, I'll take care of your Qi.
The reincarnation soul said.
A moment later, Paul's Qi was under control, so he focused on his mana.
Controlling the torrent of magical energy entering his body was not easy, but thanks to the reincarnation soul's help, he could focus on it entirely.
This time, the transformation inside of him was way different than simply making his mana sea into something bigger, like an ocean.
Reaching the sorcerer stage meant forming a second mana sea, which was not any smaller than the first one, and this required a lot of mana and precise control to make it work as it should.
Additionally, to achieve a perfect breakthrough, both seas needed to be exactly the same size, which was very hard to accomplish.
At the same time, the reincarnation soul did its best to control Paul's Qi as his dantian went through another transformation.
All the Qi inside was compressed into a small ball.
But that was just the beginning, as the moment a jewel-like ball was formed, drops of liquid started forming on its surface.
The liquid started dropping down, gathering and forming a smaller ball than another, and another.
As time went by, four smaller balls orbiting the bigger one were formed, and they grew with each drop of liquid they absorbed.
Three days went by in an instant before everyone in the mansion felt not one but two ripples of energy at the same time.
-Did he just advance in both cultivation's at once?
Natalie asked, looking at Anna and the other ladies.
-It seems so.
Anna said, as surprised as everyone else.
She had no idea why, or even how he managed to do so, since it was hard enough to control one power at a time, and controlling both seemed impossible.
Moreover, this time his breakthrough was much faster than previously, which was another surprise.
Nonetheless, he did it; he achieved the fourth stage in both cultivation's.
