Chapter 53 Planning For The Task
" Nnngh…"
Long Ming's eyes flustered as he slowly got up. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around himself.
" Damn, I really got carried away last night, huh?" Long Ming mumbled when he saw the four sleeping beauties on the bed along with him.
The mix of sweet and strange scents lingered in the air as the bed was messier than a mess. Long Ming felt his body was feeling sore as he got up.
' To think I am still feeling exhausted after using my Incubus's Bloodline and Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art.' He stretched his body as he thought inwardly.
Looking at the four beauties, he could see the blissful smiles on their faces as they slept. It was unknown what they were dreaming, but it must be something good.
Long Ming sat cross legged as he circulated the Fragran Yin Qi through his body.
' Huh? The Fragrant Yin Flower's two more petals lit up. That's good.' Long Ming felt the flow of his Fragrant Yin Qi has become slightly better than before.
However, the most noticeable change happened with his Scarlet Yang Qi. The Scarlet Yang Qi got compressed into a corner in his divine sea. However, that cluster of qi looked more pure than before.
Long Ming sat under the sunlight as he started to circulate the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. The Scarlet Yang Qi flowed in his body as Long Ming felt a warm current through his veins.
However, it was purer than before, like a bar of iron got tempered by hundred times. The flow was smooth and the energy was robust. Not to mention, he felt a strange harmony between the Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi in his divine sea.
' Ah! Now I see. Dual cultivation is where both parties gets benefit from each other. Using Yin to nourish Yang and using Yang to refine Yin, the true aim of dual cultivation is to move forward by achieving harmony.'
Long Ming became enlightened as he circulated both techniques at the same time. The Yin and Yang energy swirled in his divine sea as he felt his cultivation rising.
' Alas, I can't form my true core right now because I haven't got the system clearance.' Long Ming grumbled. Without forming his true core, Long Ming couldn't ascend to the True Core Formation Realm. And to ascend to the next realm, he needs to have clearance from the systems.
' I hope I get a clearance in this system too.' Long Ming pondered as he sighed.
" I guess rather than increasing my cultivation, I should focus on my techniques for now." Long Ming let out a light laugh as he got up and wore a thin, silk robe.
After that, he walked out of the room as he got greeted by two maids.
" Good morning, Young Master Long. Do you wish to have breakfast first or bath?"
Long Ming stretched his body. " A bath. I think I need to freshen up my body."
The two maids led Long Ming to the bathroom as Long Ming entered the bathtub, It's temperature was perfect as the water was mixed with some aromatic herbs.
The two maids persuaded Long Ming to let them serve him more. But after teasing them for a bit, Long Ming asked them to leave him alone.
" Mmm, This is peak relaxation." Long Ming sighed as he felt his body pores opening. It was the best choice after having a night of intense sessions.
" Uh, I saw some notification last night. Let me check them." Long Ming opened the system window and saw he got four Green Bronze grade treasure boxes.
" So, Maxing out the affection of C-grade girls gives Green Bronze grade boxes? Then, B- grade ones should give White Silver, and A- grade girls should give Dark Gold Chest. As for S-rankers…" Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva as he shook his head.
Star Platinum class chest was very tempting for him. However, he calmed his heart in an instant.
" One shouldn't be too greedy. To enjoy the luxury, I need to be alive first." Long Ming mumbled.
[ Ding! Host obtained a Polished Pearl Necklace!]
[ Ding! Host obtained Green Silk Dress!]
[ Ding! Host obtained Bright Bronze Shortsword!]
[ Ding! Host obtained Charm Inducing Ring!]
Long Ming shook his head when he opened the boxes. All of the items were Green Bronze Grade and useless for him. For ordinary people, these items might be good. But for him, These are nothing. Long Ming decided to gift them to those four beauties after they woke up.
' But then, I have 60,000 AP right now. Should I look at the shop?" Long Ming opened the shop as he saw various things on the window. Most of the things were useful for women and got supplementary effects.
Of course, because Max Level Affection System requires hooking up with various beauties. Rather than strength, one can use their intelligence to win them over. And these items here can be used to raise the affection of the member of the opposite sex easily.
[ Ding! Roulette is open! One Spin costs 1000 AP! Since it's Host's first time, His chances of winning a high grade item are very high!]
Long Ming raised his brows as he saw the spinning roulette. He could notice the glow of several Star Platinum grade items in it.
' Mmm, but gambling is bad… But, A little bit won't hurt, right?' Long Ming stretched his body as he washed his hands thoroughly. After that, he clicked on the 10X spin.
10,000 AP got deducted as the roulette spun.
Long Ming sighed when he found five out of ten boxes were empty. However, he hoped to find some real gem in the remaining five.
[ Ding! Host won Skin Enhancing Paste 2X (White Silver Grade)]
[ Ding! Host won a skill! Hundred Knife Slashes! (White Silver Grade!)]
[ Ding! Host won an Affection Raising Fruit! ( Dark Gold Grade!)]
[ Ding! Host won a skill! Ecstatic Cloud Palm( Dark Gold Grade)]
Long Ming took a deep breath as he opened the last box. A bright light shone from that box as his eyes widened.
[ Ding! Host obtained a Star Platinum grade treasure! Realm Remolding Pill!]
Long Ming saw a shining pill before him as he fell into contemplation.
[ Realm Remolding Pill: Dissolves the current cultivation of a cultivator by two great realms. However, the dissolved power won't vanish. The practitioner can store that power and use it to recreate their cultivation once more. Usable only for those under the Harmonization Realm]
Long Ming's eyes widened when he saw that description. After pondering a while, he finally understand the true usage of this pill.
For cultivators, the foundation is most necessary. The current cultivation realm is the ladder to ascend the next cultivation realm. If the foundation is shallow, a cultivator can never achieve the higher cultivation realm.
However, This pill gives a chance to dissolve one's cultivation in two stages and use that dissolved power to create a better foundation of cultivation.
For example, assume a Primordial Spirit Unification realm cultivator reached that stage by using external means. His palace foundation of Violet Palace and True Core grade is inferior to average.
They can eat this pill and revert their power back to Violet Palace Expansion Realm. Using their dissolved power, they can create a better foundation in Violet Palace Expansion Realm and True Core Formation Realm.
And when they reach the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm again, their power will be increased by multiple times.
' What a heaven defying medicine! It's basically a undo medicine without any side effects. No wonder it's a Star Platinum grade treasure.' Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at the medicine.
' I already achieved the perfect foundation of Violet Palace Expansion Realm. And no doubt I will achieve perfection in True Core Formation Realm.'
' But… What if I dissolve those two perfect foundations? What if I undo them again and create my violet palace and true core? What sort of power I will achieve?'
Long Ming cackled inwardly as he stored the pill in his inventory. Now, looking at the other items, they weren't bad at all.
[Skin Enhancing Paste: It is a beauty increasing medicine. Once applied, it will turn even an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan!]
[ Hundred Knife Slashes: A skill that increases the proficiency of a knife. One slash and there will be a hundred cuts!]
The thing that made Long Ming interested more was the Affection Raising Fruit and the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.
[ Affection Raising Fruit: Increase the opposite sex's affection by 20 points! It will show no effect if that person's affection already reached 80 points]
[ Ecstatic Cloud Palm: A superior massage technique that relieves one's physical fatigue and mental tension. However, if used properly… You know what I mean. *wink wink*]
Long Ming almost choked when he saw the last line. He could already guess the other use of the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.
' Now, That's some skills I want in my skillset.' Long Ming nodded proudly as he saw his remaining points
50,000 AP, but the items in the store was also expensive. In the end, Long Ming brought a Blooming Silk Robe that costs 20,000 AP.
" En, This dress should fit Mu Qinglian well. I think she will be happy to get such a present." Long Ming mumbled as he walked out of the bathroom.
When he entered his room, he saw along with the delicious breakfast, Meng Zhi was also there.
" Good morning, My dear little brother." Meng Zhi grinned as she looked at the four sleeping girls.
" I guess you had some intense activities last night. Nonetheless, little brother emerged victorious. I am so surprised."
Long Ming took a bite of the dish as he smiled lightly. " Well, Thank you for giving such a...great reward. I can assure you that I enjoyed last night very much."
" However, I wish to talk with you about something else." Long Ming sipped some soup. " About the mission in Black Pear City."
