Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 284 – Cultivation Techniques

Aiko was bored, while Mei was still shocked silly.

She didn't have anything else to do, so she once again browsed her Cultivation Techniques.

[Blood Tyrant Scripture]
[Mortal Form]
[Cultivation Technique that revolves around Blood.]
[First Stage: Blood Manipulation 0/81, Blood Collection 0/9, Blood Storage 0/27]
[Second Stage(Locked): Advanced Blood Manipulation 0/729, Blood Storage 0/243, Blood Enhancement 0/???]
[Third Stage(Locked): ...]

Aiko found this quite amusing, but since she didn't have the Blood Affinity she didn't dwell on it too much.

[Moon Goddess Scripture]
[Mortal Form?]

'How strange...' Aiko narrowed her eyes. On the system panel, it clearly said it was Mortal Scripture, but once you clicked on it, it was with a question mark?

[Moon Goddess Scripture]
[Mortal Form?]
[Cultivation Technique that revolves around the Moon.]
[First Stage: Moon Bathing 0/???, Moon Collection 0/???, Moon Storage 0/???]
[Second Stage: ???]

Aiko could not read this one at all. It seems like this was very different compared to the Blood Tyrant Scripture...

[Dual Yin Cultivation Scripture]
[Mortal/Immortal Form]
[Complete Version: You can Cultivate it in both Mortal and Immortal World.]
[You need a partner in order to circulate the Energies with.]
[The circulation of Energies gets stronger the more pleasure both parties share.]
[If only one party gets all the pleasure, no Energies are shared, but their Internal Energy still gets balanced.]
[First Stage: Find Partner]
[Possible Options: Immortal Fox, Blood Devil Fox, Shadow Devil Fox Twins, Qi Gathering Cultivator, Bulging Fox, Stupid Fox, Wealthy Fox, ........]

Aiko blinked a few times. Why were there so many partners to pick from? Not to mention, she could not understand who they were!

[Second Stage: First Steps 0/???, Sharing the Nice Things 0/???, The Final Climax 0/???]
[Third Stage: Balancing the Yin and Yang 1 0/???, Balancing the Yin and Yang 2 0/???, Balancing the Yin and Yang 3 0/???]
[Fourth Stage: ???]

Aiko could only read a few of these, but the instructions were so... it felt like someone wrote this as a smut story!

Aiko didn't dislike it, it was quite fun how it was written and there were even illustrations!

'If I ever create something like this, I absolutely have to create illustrations!' Aiko's eyes shined and then it clicked for her.

'What if I create an Illustration for the Inscription...?

Aiko's eyes darted around. This smut was good, but... would it be possible to include Illustrations in the Inscription. Could she be rewarded more if she did that?

It should be possible since it was still part of the Inscription, but how much time would it take to create it? Aiko didn't know and she didn't really want to test it right now...

It took her so much time to just prepare that special thing and she didn't really want to do it again.

[Introduction to the Mortal Realm]

Aiko did not read it as often since she could either ask Mei or the system would answer her, albeit sulkily.

Now that the system was more useful, it was also less useful. Aiko needed to know a few things about the Spiritual Flames.

[Spiritual Flame]
[Grade: Heavenly Treasure]
[Cultivation requirements: Nature]
[Special kind of flame that over time gains Spiritual Will.]
[These Flames have sky-high pride and are mostly unwilling to contract with others.]
[If you wish to contract one, bring a lot of Materials (snacks) or Spiritual Flame that is stronger than the one you wish to contract.]
[It is possible to subdue the Spiritual Flame by force, but that would limit its upper limit during Cultivation.]
[If you are a Wood Type Cultivator, be aware as you can be consumed by the Spiritual Flame as nourishment!]
[If you are a Water Type Cultivator, be aware that Spiritual Flames will hate you!]

This was a lot of useful information for Aiko. She was happy that she read this book again. It was now much easier since she was used to reading that overbearing Jade Slip from Mei.

'What else should I search...' Aiko pondered.

[Dual-Cultivation]
[Dual-Cultivation is a motion where two Cultivators. Male and Female, share their bodies in order to balance their Internal Energies.]
[This allows them to Cultivate much faster than their peers and empower their Techniques!]
[Dual Cultivation does not need intercourse, but it is encouraged, as the effects are incomparable to the non-intercourse counterparts.]
[Dual Cultivation has its drawbacks. The more you Dual-Cultivate, the fewer benefits you will see!]
[It is possible to bypass this effect if you Dual-Cultivate with someone who has a different Body Origin.]
[It is encouraged to always seek the highest-grade bodies in order to get the greatest effects!]

Aiko nodded. This pretty much called for scandal. If one met someone they liked and had sex with them, but then found someone with a better body and tried the same thing... It was natural what would happen then. The one with an inferior body would be kicked aside like trash.

'No wonder, there are constant conflicts everywhere...' Aiko shook her head. If they built the whole world around this motion, it was only natural there would be too many conflicts.

"I'm more surprised that this place has not been destroyed yet." Aiko shook her head. This was just calling for trouble!

...

It took her a few days, but Mei finally snapped out of her daze.

She narrowed her eyes and vowed to be much closer to Aiko. She needed to obtain that Cauldron! But she would naturally not do it the usual way like others would do.

Aiko was very precious, while she could not be considered a servant any more thanks to the numerous Treasures she obtained, it was still possible to have her as a close confidant!

Mei nodded happily and Dai Lu shook her head. Those cute delusions were a tasty snack for someone as bored as the Grandmaster.

"Where is Aiko?" Mei asked.

"She is inside, reading something naughty." Dai Lu betrayed Aiko by blinking an eye. This way it would be more amusing to see the livid Mei... which didn't happen?

"What is she doing?" Mei was concerned that Aiko reached the stage where she was affected by the atmosphere in Fox Village.

"She is reading about Dual-Cultivation." Dai Lu's lips twitched. She didn't believe for a moment that Aiko wouldn't be scolded.

Mei nodded dismissively. It was fine for Aiko to do that, she could also alter her plan and go that way, but she didn't know what Aiko thought of her, so that would have to be postponed.

She... was not yet ready to completely open her heart.

It was painful, too painful when someone betrayed you, even more so if it was someone who lived with you for too long.

...

Mei shook her head. Seeing Aiko engrossed so much, that she was ignored by her.

Mei stepped behind Aiko to read with her. The words surprised her. It did talk about Dual Cultivation and in much greater detail than even she knew!

Mei soon got also engrossed by reading and the duo only blinked to moisten their eyes.

Dai Lu's face twitched. There was supposed to be something fun, but both of them are just reading?! Why?! There needs to be something fun to do!

Dai Lu breathed out, steam coming out of her mouth. "It's time to train those twins with the Blood Fox." Since she didn't get any entertainment from this duo, she would naturally go after another group!

That's who she was! And that's also why she was hated almost everywhere! She didn't have any sense of 'right time, right place'. She would just bother everyone whenever she was bored!

'I'm still stronger than Mei at the moment so I can do these things, but once she catches up to me...' Dai Lu gulped. It would not be nice to be overtaken by someone younger, but she feared that Mei might ban her from having fun!

That would be the worst time of her life! She needed fun in her life to distract her from what she experienced!

... Somewhere far away 3 Foxes screamed in anguish as they were relentlessly trained.

...

Aiko finished reading. She read throughout the whole night until morning. She always felt energetic whenever reading anything remotely sexy, so she was able to finish all that information at once.

Aiko stored the book inside the system's storage. She stretched as she would always do whenever she was in her big body. For some reason, her shoulders were particularly painful. Aiko didn't know why and she disliked this form even more.

"Aiko?" Mei smiled as she spoke from behind.

Aiko flinched. "Y-yes?" She didn't know how long Mei was behind her, but it shouldn't be long since her voice was steady.

"Are you having any issues?" Mei chose the gentle approach, overlooking Aiko. She didn't know how Aiko would react if pursued, so she left that thought behind.

Aiko paused for a moment, seriously thinking about it. "My arm still feels weird."

"Hmmmm." Mei nodded. "That might be only removed after another Evolution, but the amount of disaster you bring..." Mei shook her head. She would not allow Aiko to Evolve for the time being.

"My shoulders also feel heavy and painful." Seeing Mei's helpful side, Aiko whined openly.

Mei suddenly glared at Aiko, not quite at her, but at certain large, soft pillows that always accompanied her.

Aiko shrunk back until she realised what Mei was staring at.

"Do you want them?" Aiko asked innocently, cupping them with her hands. "They are too bothersome." It would be nice if she could get rid of them.

Mei flinched from their formidable force.

"You can try them if you are unsure." Aiko shuffled close. It was unfortunate that the Grandmaster was not nearby, as this would be plenty of entertainment for her.

"Y-you! Shameless Fox!" Mei kept pointing at Aiko.

"That's me~!" Aiko lifted her hand, the formidable peaks shook like a booming wave.

'Forget it. No way will I romance anyone who has bigger boobs than I do!' Mei made up her mind. This kind of sight was too damaging for her fragile mind and ego...
