Aiko was carried by the Queen away to a nearby cave. The Queen would confiscate any food that she would bring from her pouch, making Aiko upset.
"You really can't eat that!" The Queen reprimanded Aiko. "You need to purify your Core!"
Aiko hmpfed away. There was sothing she had not done yet.

[Cultivation Gift]
[Gives you the most suitable Cultivation Technique]
'OOOOOOOOOO.' Aiko almost took off with her tail how fast it whizzed. 'Should I wait or should I use it? I still have the [Duality of Cultivation] problem so I should probably wait till I solve that, having 2 Bloodlines would make it difficult for to find a suitable Cultivation Technique. Yeah, let's do that.'
The Queen was looking at that little windmill Fox and shook her head. She figured out that since this little sweetie is so strange she probably has sothing on her to help her. She Wouldn't pry into Aiko's secrets unless Aiko would tell her. Of course that is only a privilege for Aiko, if it was any other bastard she would try to extract every single secret out of them.
The Queen was slowly cooking at for Aiko while observing her. She would never separate from her until they got into the 'Fox Village'.
Let's first look over what I have and can do.
Items: [Introduction to the Mortal Realm], [at x250], [Skill Coupon x6], [Skill Combination Coupon x2], [Cultivation Gift]
'Six Skill Coupons, I should probably get so really good skills for or sothing that would improve my Survivability.' Aiko Thought. 'For Example...'
[Vitality Recovery]
[Recovers one Vitality per Hour and additionally 0.01%pH of Max Vitality.]
[Cost: 10,000 Skill Points]
[Cost: 1 Skill Coupon]
'I will definitely get this one!' Aiko bought it imdiately. 'And this.'
[Linguistics]
[Costs: 1,000 Skill Points]
[Cost: 1 Skill Coupon]
'It doesn't have a description, but that should be alright. It cost a lot so it should be good.' Aiko thought. 'But there are quite a lot of skills to choose from, so are really good while others are useless... I don't know what to pick... let's hold on for now, maybe I can get so "Skill Combination Book" or sothing, that would allow to see the Skill Combinations.'
The Queen brought her the food and munched on her own.
'It's tasty, but the Palace one wasn't all that bad either...' Aiko thought. 'I wonder what that Princess is up to.'
Aiko shook her head as it was pointless to think about soone whom she would probably never et.
She finished her at and went to sleep. That night she had a nightmare of being chased by a strange Lunatic on a sword, another on a Ship and the last one running on the ground...
...
"We will travel most of the ti, so I will be teaching you a few things along the way." The Queen said gently as Aiko finished her food.
She strapped Aiko on her back with her Divine Sense and left that cave.
"Every beast can evolve, but not every beast will be able to. At that stage, everyone is just a mindless animal that doesn't know any better."
"We would eat anything that cos our way, unknowingly polluting our Cores with impurities."
"Those impurities will make it harder for us to obtain better Evolutions as we won't be able to gather as much energy as needed and the possible bloodline would suck us dry because of it."
"That's why it's important that whenever you Evolve to have enough energy around you that you can consu." The Queen smiled bitterly rembering that [Earthen Shard].
Aiko nodded and Queen continued.
"The easiest way to make your Evolution successful is to gather natural ingredients, Natural Qi Formations or Spirit Stones."
"The easiest would be natural ingredients like herbs, Shard and like."
"But we can bypass all those hard steps since we will be joining the 'Fox Village', you will be able to gather resources much more easily as you will only need to go on missions."
"That ans that even if the reward that you gathered along the way was insufficient you would still get so more from the 'Village'."
The Queen dashed along the plains. There probably would be few stops with Natural Qi Formations, since it seems this land was quite rich from it. The amount of ambient Qi was higher than when she was starting back then. This would allow her much quicker ascension this ti.
...
They arrived around another sparkling pond.
'This is good, let's do so tweaks on my little sweetie.' The queen nodded in her head. She would use quite a few herbs and dump them inside here and circle the energy in a certain way to make a dicine bath.
What she used as dicine was for [Body Tempering] bath. It would cause excruciating pain to the User, but as a reward, their body would be strengthened greatly.
'But this would make your skin hard, which is not ideal for Foxes, nice soft and spotless skin is the best for us, who use beauty and illusions.' She smirked. 'Those old fools called my thods crude, but this little tweak to the prescription would make it so that the [Body Tempering] is ignored and it would pull a lot of impurities out.'
She prepared the herbs one by one and Aiko was curiously watching her.
'The only problem is that this bath is extrely expensive. I have to use most of our herbs, but it would allow her to Purify her Core from the worst to not so bad.' She carefully washed the herbs with her Water Qi. 'It will also boost her beauty each evolution, which ans the sooner one bathes in it, the greater the benefit later on.'
She was almost finished with the bath, the quality was comparable to Perfect. It needed a few touches here and there to reach Perfect, but this was good enough for soone not yet in Magical Beast Rank.
Aiko was watching the pond change colours, from pellucid to green to blue... It was very nice to look at, especially when the colours started to mix, it looked almost like those star Nebulas.
"In you go." The Queen chuckled and threw Aiko inside.
Aiko was cursing at her since she had never before swam in the water as a Fox. The previous one doesn't count as she almost drowned and didn't have ti to learn to swim properly.
Aiko panicked and quickly bought [Swimming] with her Skill Points. Surprisingly it cost her only 1 point.
But she noticed that she was floating on top of the lake? How was she able to float? She knew for sure that Skills weren't as magical as one might think, so it's not like Level 1 swimming would make her a professional swimr.
The pond was very warm and nice to lay in, she almost left like she would-
*Zzzzzz*
"This..." The Queen sighed. "How is she able to sleep in such weird places." She rembered that ti Aiko slept on her tail. "Seriously... if you look away for a second she would be asleep." But Queen was still smiling towards Aiko, unknowingly to her.
She prepared another piece of at for Aiko while observing her closely. Since she was asleep it ant that she was completely relaxed and would get the best benefit from this.
'Last ti I bathed in it I was awake and uneasy." She sighed. "That caused to only absorb about 12% of the dicine bath, why have I not thought about sleeping?" She shook her head, slowly roasting at.
Aiko was slowly dirtying the pond with her impurities, which the dicine bath pulled out of her.
...
Aiko woke up and yawned, almost gulping water.
She was startled awake and realized that she was still on that pond, but this pond was strangely black?
The Queen pulled her out of the pond and Aiko was shivering. She used [Clean] on Aiko and put her on her tail. That tail was near the campfire and was nice and cosy. Aiko almost imdiately dozed off again, if it was not for the deliciously slling at.
She munched on the at while being completely stunned.

Aiko was very happy with this turn of events, now she just needed to reach the appropriate Level and Evolve again. She has that rock called 'Moon Stone' she would definitely use that, but it might attract so attention so she should be careful.
She would only evolve once she found a very deserted place.
