Huo Rong gently smiled as she placed her hand on top of Shen Yuan’s hand, “Good morning, Yuan’er.”
Shen Yuan chuckled as he kissed her head while whispering back, “Good morning to you as well, Big Sis.”
They silently stared at each other as the morning sun rose high above the sky.
Huo Rong broke the silence as she asked, “So, have you thought about what to take from the Sect Treasury?”
Shen Yuan gently stroked her head and answered, “Hmm… I don’t know if the sect has what I’m looking for.”
Huo Rong cutely tilted her head as she asked, “Why don’t you tell me what you are looking for? I know quite a lot of treasures in the Treasuries; I might be able to help.”
Shen Yuan looked at her for a moment as he answered, “I’m looking for cultivation techniques, particularly Space-Related Cultivation Techniques.”
“Huh? Why are you looking for cultivation techniques? Don’t you already have one? And it’s something totally unheard of in the Eastern Desolate Region.” Huo Rong got up from atop him and sat down on the side.
Shen Yuan appreciated her naked body while replying, “I will explain when Mom and Big Sis Bing Rong are also here. For now, do you know where I can find it?”
Huo Rong lowered her head as she thought deeply about it for a while, “Hmm… Space-Related Cultivation Techniques are some of the rarest things you can find in the Eastern Desolate Region. I doubt there will be even a single one in the entire sect, and if there is one, then its quality won’t be high.”
Shen Yuan’s eyes twitched as he heard his fantasy about getting a Space-Related technique from the Treasure Pavilion shattering right there.
Huo Rong saw Shen Yuan’s expression from the corner of her eyes as she comforted him, “Don’t worry about it though, I’m sure Master will have a solution for that.”
Shen Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile, “I can get them as well, but they will cost me quite a bit of Chaos Coins.”
Huo Rong’s eyes widened in surprise, “Yue Lan also has Space Cultivation Techniques?” But she felt her question was silly as soon as she finished saying it.
[Of course I have them, but this stingy guy doesn’t wanna buy them from me.]
Yue Lan’s playful voice sounded inside the room.
“You just wanna rip me off. I can find a Space-Related Cultivation Technique on my own and even learn Spatial Intent.” Shen Yuan stood up from the bed while stretching his body.
[Yeah yeah sure, let me see where you can find them.]
Yue Lan’s laughter resounded in the room as she fell silent.
Shen Yuan shook his head, “I will be going to take a bath, you wanna join in?” He turned around to look at Huo Rong and playfully asked.
Huo Rong also became bolder after the actions of last night as she said, “As much as I would love to do that, I also need to handle sect work. I already ran away from it yesterday; Sect Master will give me an earful if I didn’t hurry back now.”
Shen Yuan laughed as he saw her using her Fire Intent to cleanse her body of everything.
She then slowly began wearing her robes, making sure Shen Yuan had a good show to watch while she did so.
Shen Yuan appreciated all of it, and after a while, he turned around as he saw her getting ready to leave.
“I will probably go look at the Treasure Pavilion to see what they have.” His voice echoed in the room as he left.
Huo Rong only smiled sweetly as she vanished with a spark of flame.
…
“Aaaah~” Shen Yuan exhaled a long breath as he bathed in the warm water.
“I nearly forgot the joy of bathing after using techniques to cleanse myself for so long.” He spoke aloud while closing his eyes to enjoy the moment to the fullest.
[Yuan’er, if you continue to look for techniques like this, then it will take forever for you to get so many of them to fill your Dantians.]
Yue Lan spoke in a serious tone as she didn’t want Shen Yuan to waste too much of his time looking for useless techniques.
“I know about it, and don’t worry. I already have a plan, but I might not be able to find the best techniques for each Dantian like the Inferno Smithing Technique.” He said while relaxing.
[That—you need not worry about; you can change your cultivation technique for the 365 Dantians which evolved from the Acupoints after reaching the Origin Core Creation Realm.]
Shen Yuan opened his eyes in surprise as he sat down straight in his small pool, “Hmm? What do you mean? How is that possible? Wouldn’t I need a special pill like what I gave to my family? I was expecting to use them to change cultivation techniques in the future.”
Yue Lan manifested on the side of the small pool in her cat form as she shook her head.
[Think, Shen Yuan, think. Do you have any foundation with those techniques inside your Dantians? Like how the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Art changed your entire physique? You can’t even make cores or a Nascent Soul in your other Dantians. They will forever remain like that, but they will limitlessly reinforce your foundation with the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Technique.]
“Then what changes will there be once I’m at the Origin Core Creation Realm?” He asked right away as he wanted to know these answers which can impact how he moves from now on.
[At that level, you will create a core inside your body which will contain your everything. It will be like a fixed point in a timeline; you can do anything around it, but you won’t be able to change it.]
Shen Yuan lowered his head in contemplation as he thought about her words, “Hmm… what you say does make sense, so I can just learn a lower-level technique for now and change it later when I have a better technique for that element?”
[Yes, the basic requirement is to have the same or similar element; you can’t change your fire-attributed cultivation technique to a water-attributed cultivation technique.]
Shen Yuan’s eyes lit up with pleasant surprise as he nodded his head while saying, “I see, well this makes things much easier. I will first need to find a few more techniques—”
[Wait, don’t learn a lot of techniques at once. It will be better if you only learn the necessary techniques for now, like the space-attributed cultivation technique. Because you will need to bring up the cultivation base of that Dantian to the same level to have the most effects, and if you learn too many techniques at once, then your cultivation will become stagnant for a long time.]
Shen Yuan paused as he rubbed the back of his head, “I forgot about that due to excitement. Then I will look for the space-attributed cultivation technique first.”
[You can buy it from the s—]
“No.” Shen Yuan flatly refused as he stood up from the small pool, “I looked at the prices for space-attributed cultivation techniques before. And the cheapest one was like 500,000 Chaos Coins. You might as well rob me.”
