Chapter 10
Chapter 10
First, after calming down a bit, I decided to head to the Cave Dwelling of Seon Yura, Seon Yumi's birth mother.
[The easiest way to deceive Heaven's Secrets is to follow them.]
Every time I've dealt with women so far, I've never gone without using my cheat.
But this time, I resolved to form a relationship normally.
The Seon Clan seemed highly likely to accept a proper marriage proposal.
I explained this to Bo Jiyeong.
"Hmm, I see. Since there's a gap in our cultivation stages and we can't properly perform Dual Cultivation, having a suitable female cultivator wouldn't be a bad idea."
Bo Jiyeong understood my reasoning.
In the previous timeline, during those six months, I had focused solely on handling Bo Jiyeong and suppressing Heaven's Secrets, so this idea hadn't occurred to me.
But now that I'd reached the third stage of Qi Condensation, moving around wouldn't be as burdensome.
Before, I'd been afraid that just stepping outside would invite Heavenly Tribulation.
The benefit of reaching the third stage of Qi Condensation this time was that I could now use my cheat while concealing it somewhat.
Since my very existence was a cheat, Heaven punished me, but now I could suppress it a little better.
Thus, the cheats I applied to myself were less likely to be detected by Heaven.
At the very least, my existence was now slightly more tolerated, so I wouldn't be struck by Heavenly Tribulation at random.
Using a cheat on myself to grant cheat effects to others was definitely not a bad method.
For example, giving Bo Jiyeong a 100x sensitivity boost was a cheat that consumed a fair amount of my spiritual energy.
But if I made my hands and cock grant women a 100x sensitivity boost, it became an easy cheat that barely drained my energy.
While I was organizing my thoughts, Bo Jiyeong finished her calculations.
"Hmm... Among the newly ascended female cultivators in this Upper Realm, who would be a good match? If we're talking about promising candidates, Seon Yumi under the 'Artisan Fairy' Seon Yura wouldn't be a bad choice."
"Let's go there."
There was no need to hear other names.
Since those with high status among the candidates entering the Beginner Academy would naturally be mentioned first, I already knew Seon Yumi's name would come up.
Na Soso, being a beggar, was unlikely to be mentioned.
"Good. Hehe, Seon Yura is a skilled cultivator, but her temperament is gentle, so persuading her shouldn't be difficult. She dotes on her children, so if she recognizes your talent, she'll surely accept."
With the decision made, we stepped outside the Cave Dwelling.
Bo Jiyeong's Cave Dwelling was situated atop one of the Spirit Veins in the Cultivation World.
Though the interior was well-maintained like a modern home, stepping outside immediately reminded you that it was still a cave near a gloomy valley—a pain to traverse.
But there was no need to worry too much.
"Shall we ride?"
Because we had a mount.
Bo Jiyeong proudly presented her Ink Scale Horse.
A black horse covered in scales.
I'd ridden it before when heading to the Beginner Academy in the previous timeline, but the damn thing had been finicky with me, so I wasn't too fond of it.
When it tried to kick me, I used a cheat on myself to dodge and then another cheat to smack it back.
"Hee-hiin!"
The Ink Scale Horse seemed to regain its senses and allowed me to ride alongside Bo Jiyeong.
"Well then, let's go."
Bo Jiyeong had intended to mess with me using the horse, so she gave an awkward smile when she saw it submit to me.
From the back seat, I groped Bo Jiyeong's ample chest as we traveled.
Though she was being teased, she kept her mouth shut, fearing I'd scold her for her earlier scheming.
Thanks to my cheat, I could read her intentions like a ghost, and Bo Jiyeong, being no fool, had learned to obey after being put in her place a few times.
"We've arrived. The Seon mother and daughter live somewhere in these mountains."
Bo Jiyeong pointed to the location she'd discerned using a talisman.
The Ink Scale Horse returned to her Spirit Beast Ring.
"Let's go up."
As we walked into the mountains, a voice called out from within.
—Who goes there?
"Bo Jiyeong, a Qi Condensation cultivator residing in Seoeum Valley. I've come to see the Artisan Fairy on business. May we be granted an audience?"
—I shall guide you in.
Once permission was granted, we didn't need to climb the mountain—our bodies floated up effortlessly, and we arrived before the residence.
"What brings you here?"
"My disciple possesses exceptional talent, and I wished to introduce him to you."
"Hmm, I do see something extraordinary about him. Since I happen to be free, why not join me for some tea?"
Inside, Seon Yura sat with a voluptuous and alluring figure.
Her hair was the same shade of pink as Seon Yumi's—damn, the words "mommy milkers" almost slipped out.
Soon after, Seon Yumi emerged from inside, carrying refreshments.
'Ah, she's beautiful. How can someone be so stunning? I feel strangely embarrassed...'
Seon Yumi twisted her body awkwardly upon seeing me, paused for a moment, then continued moving.
After setting the refreshments on the table, Seon Yura seated Seon Yumi beside her and introduced her to Bo Jiyeong.
"This is my daughter, Seon Yumi. Since you've shown me your disciple, I'd like to show you mine."
"Indeed, your skill is evident, Seon Fairy."
"You're quite impressive yourself, Bo Fairy. When did you create your disciple?"
"Hmm, hehe... Less than a month ago."
"A month? He already appears to have entered Qi Condensation. How quickly has he mastered handling Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy?"
"The moment he became a spirit and ascended to the Cultivation World!"
"What?"
Seon Yura reacted with disbelief.
"How is that possible? You wouldn't have had time to teach him anything properly."
"The moment he gained a body, he inhaled spiritual energy and refined his Qi. Now, he circulates it as naturally as breathing—I didn't even need to teach him cultivation techniques!"
"That's absurd! Unless his soul was already prepared as a cultivator, this makes no sense. For him to possess such talent alone is unthinkable—I can't help but admire your skill, Bo Fairy! How did you achieve such a feat? I'd love to hear your advice."
Bo Jiyeong's shoulders twitched with pride.
Being acknowledged for her techniques by Seon Yura, renowned for her Cultivation Artisan Techniques, was undeniably gratifying.
No matter how arrogant I was, even I had to admit that Bo Jiyeong's skill in guiding my soul's formation and preparing a perfect body was worthy of recognition.
Deep down, I acknowledged her too.
So, for once, I didn't pick a fight and let her enjoy the moment.
"How could I, a mere Qi Condensation cultivator, easily advise someone as renowned as you, Seon Fairy? You must acknowledge that luck played a part as well."
"Hmm, I appreciate the humility, but my curiosity is unbearable. Since you've shown me your disciple, you must have a purpose. What do you seek?"
An impatient Seon Yura cut straight to the point.
Bo Jiyeong then spoke as I had intended.
"I've decided to stake the possibility of Ascension on my prodigy."
"Your disciple's name is Cheon-ah?"
"Jincheon."
"Bo Jincheon, then. Yumi, you should learn from him."
"Yes, Mother."
Bo Jincheon... The name sounded a bit odd, but I let it slide.
Better than Bo Jiyeong, at least.
I wanted to reject the given surname and origins, but if I kept revealing the nature of my Reverse Heaven Supreme Spirit Root, I'd only invite Heavenly Tribulation.
Since I didn't interfere, Seon Yura and Bo Jiyeong continued their conversation.
"If you don't mind, may I ask your age and cultivation stage?"
"I'm 180 years old—including my time in the Lower Realm. My cultivation stage is the 10th level of Qi Condensation."
"That's quite the age."
"And you, Seon Fairy?"
"Here alone, I'm 80. I've forgotten my time in the Lower Realm—perhaps around 130 in total."
"I've lived about 70 years here myself."
"But to reach the 10th stage at your age—you're quite the prodigy."
It takes that long to reach the 10th stage?
But even if my body was new, my soul was already at the third stage of Qi Condensation.
Changes in the soul quickly manifested in the body, so I'd soon appear to them as a genius who reached the third stage in less than a year.
Hell, I'd already reached the second stage almost instantly—just knowing that would shock them.
A sudden question occurred to me.
I opened my mouth to ask.
"How old is Seon Yumi?"
"Ah, interrupting our conversation... Well, I suppose I can satisfy your curiosity. Yumi is 40. She spent 30 years nurturing her soul in the Lower Realm and has spent the last 10 years in the body I prepared here. Her cultivation is at the late second stage."
She's a milf.
Seon Yumi, flustered by my attention, blushed and fidgeted.
Anyway, interrupting their conversation was apparently considered rude in my position.
Bo Jiyeong resumed the discussion.
"Yumi is quite the prodigy herself."
"Indeed. I used my own oocyte to create her... Hehe, pardon my boasting."
"So that's how you made your daughter. She resembles you greatly, though there are many differences too."
"I thought a lighter body might be more comfortable. Even at this size, it can be quite cumbersome."
"Men tend to like that sort of thing, you know."
"Hehe, you must've had your share of troubles too, Bo Fairy. I don't have the best impression of my own body either."
Suddenly, the two started comparing breast sizes.
Bo Jiyeong was well-endowed, but Seon Yura was overwhelmingly larger.
Realizing the conversation had derailed, they quickly steered it back.
"Where were we?"
"Weren't you about to ask why I'm staking Ascension on my prodigy?"
"Ah, right. Bo Fairy, you're already exceptional—why go to such lengths? Why pour all your cultivation resources into him?"
"Aren't we aiming for more than just Foundation Establishment? Even with our talents, it'd take seventy or eighty years... A long time."
"True."
"Eventually, we might hit a wall due to time and limitations. But look at him. His Spirit Root is incredibly fast and solid."
"What kind of Spirit Root does he have?"
Bo Jiyeong hesitated before answering.
"He possesses a Dual Cultivation Harmony Spirit Root."
"Dual Cultivation?"
"Not only does it stabilize and elevate his partner's cultivation stage, but those who cultivate with him gain a separate Spirit Root that allows mutual advancement!"
Seon Yura's interest was piqued.
