After a bit of ti hugging Ai and giving her head pats, she reluctantly pulls away to look back at the group.
I guess we should get back over there soon. Theres a lot well need to do.
She walks away, but then pauses.
I can just hear her voice. Low, but clear.
Lin said she wont be doing anything next ti we get a chance to be in bed but I think Im ready to. Let know when you are.
Imdiately after saying that, she briskly paces away, with my scan showing her pale skin shining a bright red.
shes changed.
After we went our separate ways, in that short ti, shes grown. And seems that she and Lin are truly wanting to get closer in a deeper way.
I an, I already suspected that with them pushing for being my sworn sister which in this culture has multiple connotations, including being potential fiancees.
And it also doesnt seem like they are trying to manipulate .
Just wanting to be closer in a different way.
With the healing thod constantly running on all of us, it makes it easier to think about things. Like being refreshed ntally, but on a constant basis. That state helps with figuring things out, as its done for . Im sure theyve benefited from it, as well.
But thats just the surface of this.
What do I really want?
My thoughts trail back to that ti with ili, the assassin at the teleportation gate. Where I froze in the face of a sexual encounter.
Her desperate attempts to gain my favor. The feeling of holding power over her and satisfying so urges that Ive been suppressing, so that I dont do the wrong thing.
Yeah.
I think Id much rather go down this road with Ai and Lin than anyone else. Except maybe Shi.
I need to be more proactive about this. To confront my feelings, both romantic and sexual.
If I dont, Ill simply be setting myself up for failure.
ili wont be the last person to confront sexually. Especially considering my abilities are truly life-changing for people. For good or bad, peoples bodies are a way of repaynt.
Eventually, soone will co that will eat up sexually and Ill need enough experience to be able to maturely handle that. To not allow it to sway too significantly.
Its decided then. Im going for it.
Ill be honest with her and Lin when that ti cos and will look to them, actually being the ones that I breach things with.
I just hope I do this the right way.
With this in mind, I head back over to the group. Ai and Lin have already seed to have taken to their position as leaders, helping to coordinate and resolve and minor items.
The others are also looking to them by asking for direction on what to do and what to look out for.
After everyone gets settled in, I hop into the seat of the front carriage and close my eyes, feigning sleep. In the interim, Im using the ti to continue using my scan for long-term projects, such as sorting out problem issues with other mbers and how to achieve the things Ive promised to others.
But subtly, and in a way, that wont trigger any issues.
Im certainly much more wary about my approach since I had issues with Ao Jin, the demonic cultivator I fought in the jungle. And on that note, I suspect that even with the easier thod to save his family, my scan showed before, there will be ramifications to those actions
using this hidden scan this wont be a one day and done type.
Itll be sothing that I used to cover as many bases as possible.
As is pretty clear, Im not alone. I have a huge number of people Im directly responsible for.
Which reminds . I should probably use the healing ability on them.
Since the mbers arent tad creatures, normally it would be harder to pinpoint them from a distance with my scan.
However, the contract provides the perfect connection to use my scan through.
An interesting note, I will keep in mind for later.
Through it, I can feel my healing aura channeling to them at an extrely low level. After forming the link, I establish the sa bit of reactive healing to them I have for the others.
Out of curiosity, I check on the healing data for the demi humans, back in Monchon City, with my scan. It appears theres only been so minor mining related injuries, along with ones related to constant body building.
They are all absurdly powerful now, body-wise.
Ill see if I can utilize spirit beast cultivation thods alongside human ones to help them out. I know they can use human ones, which I will get to them, but the spirit beast cultivation thods can depend on a lot of different factors.
I might have to create an amalgamation of the two types.
Heck. I might see if theres a way to forge a body cultivation thod, as well from it.
But everything will depend on what I can get from the Radiant Library.
My thoughts trail to the areas well be heading to on the mountain, within the Halls of Exalted Purity.
The Radiant Library.
A place full of knowledge and mysteries. Where normal sect mbers, even sect servants, can read a variety of works.
It is also where you can pick up a cultivation thod and, if applicable, an additional paired hidden realm body cultivation thod. Both of which are behind the first of the sealed areas in the library.
Outer court mbers can gain a book for the first step of whatever thod they choose. As cultivation thods are your way of progressing through cultivation, it will be the first level of Qi Condensation.
Those who are switching thods after already being cultivators, will still use the first level for the cultivation thod and will have to disperse a majority of their cultivation base, depending on how different their original cultivation thod was.
This is because a large amount of a cultivation base is built off of the thod used.
Typically, outer court mbers wont be able to get a jade slip of the thod. It is assud that they wont be able to reach the upper levels of the technique and will take longer to reach every level. So, they wont have any need for more than one level at a ti.
Inner court mbers, on the other hand, can get access to multiple levels of the technique at once in book form. Since this is the level of people considered having potential for growth, they are assud to move through these thods quicker and farther than outer court mbers.
If they can get the backing of an elder, they may also get access to a jade slip for the thod they practice.
Being in the inner court, they can go into the deeper parts of the library, containing higher quality thods. For these thods, they can get jade slips, but need more than one elder to back them in exchange.
And as could be assud, core disciples can get access to the highest level of thods, with their elders recomndation. These would definitely be contained on a jade slip.
Cultivation techniques, being able to be used by multiple thods, are treated similarly but with slightly fewer restrictions.
For those who already have a cultivation thod, but had the right to choose one from their standing, they can exchange that for a correspondingly valuable rit. Sothing that Ill personally be using to further our goals.
Of course, these are ant only for the person who picks them up. The only ti you can share anything with any type of thod, style, or technique is if you have permission from the owner.
Already, theres a divide between the different tiers of groups.
The next steps only further separate their potential.
