Chapter 37 Getting Ready

Cyrus looked at the messy bed with many wet spots, and in the center, Rita was sitting crossed-legged without any clothes, showing her beautiful naked body, which looked more alluring with that pinkish blush.

He couldn't help but grin when he thought about how this wild cat (Rita) instantly started to absorb her gains without caring about her appearance. She was as now as comfortable with him naked as she was in clothes.

This was also the sign she no longer cared about shame or appearances between them, which was a good sign for Cyrus.

Furthermore, he was quite astonished at her cultivation speed because she was already at the fifth stage of Body Qi Tempering and quickly approaching the sixth stage.

The Body Qi Tempering was all about tempering one body with Qi or spirit herbs, and the higher the grade of Qi or spirit herbs the body was tempered with, the stronger and sturdier the foundation one could establish.

However, tempering the body with Qi and tempering it with Spirit Herbs were two different paths entirely.

Because without a strong cultivation technique, it was nigh impossible to draw High-Grade Qi, so most mortals use the Spirit Herbs of High Grade, and the method of tempering the body with Qi had become extinct long ago.

But no one knows that to break free from the mortal shell, it was compulsory to temper the body with high-grade Qi, or it would be 50% more difficult to break free from the mortal shell at the final realm.

Moreover, the stronger the Qi, the easier it was to break free from one mortal shell at the final realm of mortal.

Only those ancient sects withheld the records of such secrets.

The Yin Qi was a Divine Grade Qi which wasn't any less precious than the Underworld's Soul Qi.

That's why Cyrus's wanted Rita to break into the Body Qi Tempering Realm and then use the Underworld's soul winds, filled with Soul Qi, to temper her body and get accustomed to these cold winds.

However, now it seemed it didn't matter anymore since she was getting even stronger with the hold of Yin Qi and his potent Yang Essential.

There were 12 stages of Body Qi Tempering, divided into four phases covering three stages each.

The 'Flesh Temping Phase,' the 'Bone Tempering Phase,' the 'Marrow Tempering Phase,' and the 'Meridians Tempering Phase.'

Rita had already crossed the entire Flesh Tempering Phase, and now she could absorb the Yin Qi and refine it much faster.

She was now reaching the final stage of the Bone Tempering Phase, where her bones would also get accustomed to Yin Qi.

It was clearly not her limit, and it was all because of his Devil's Spouse Technique and his Primordial Origin Yin and Yang Physique, which was probably made to dual cultivate and nurture terrifying women!

After making sure there wasn't a problem with Rita, and she was immense in cultivating and no longer in trouble of the soul winds, he finally paid attention to himself.

Right now, he had fully recovered his previous looks before he cast the Soul Bliss spell and the reason for it, and he was filled with warm vigor again. He might be even stronger than before.

So, he opened the system interface to see the previous notification he had heard, but he was too busy with Rita, so he ignored it.

_____

[Congratulation, the User has completed one condition of the Lust Mission!]

[User has absorbed the Primal Yin of a Mortal Tier-11 Maiden!]

[Reward: 10,000 LXP]

[The status has been updated!]

_____

Cyrus cocked an eyebrow when he saw the reward, 'I completed the entire LXP requirement for Tier-10 after taking Rita's virginity. I wonder what will happen if I were to take even more powerful beings, Primal Yin.'

The more he thought about it, the more ecstatic he became. But he calmed his horses since he was not in a position to look for stronger women since he himself wasn't strong enough.

Still, he wanted to ask something else of the system, "System, can I harvest more LXP from Rita now?"

The reason he took Rita in was that he wanted to see if he could harvest LXP continuously from one person since the system had already told him that the LXP could be collected through Sex.

He just wasn't clear if it was one time or could be repeated.

Because LXP was too hard to acquire from the people he killed unless they were lustful at the moment they were being killed by the lust sword.

In the future, this problem might hold him back from becoming strong if he doesn't take it seriously.

So, this method was far more practical and easier, and if he could really do this to harvest a large amount of LXP for Rita continuously, then he didn't have to worry about LXP from now on and only focus on SP.

"[As the System mentioned before, the LXP will depend on the dead person's inner lust, or the LXP can also be collected through Sex!]

"[However, the condition of harvesting LXP from one woman again and again through sex is User needed to take that women's Primal Yin, and only then will she be eligible for you to harvest the LXP continuously.]

"[Or it is only a time thing with the women who had already lost their Primal Yin to someone else. But User can always kill them after arousing their lust with Lust Sword, and this way, you can harvest LXP one more time!]"

Cyrus snorted at the end, "I'll stick with the former method for now since Rita is fully eligible for the former method. I'll eventually find more with time, so the LXP problem is solved."

The system didn't reply as it went dormant again after giving the terrifying suggestion.

Cyrus also didn't have anything more to ask, and he was getting used to the System's cold, aloof side, and he expected nothing less from an emotionless 'technique.'

A cultivation technique's only purpose was to make the user stronger, and in Cyrus's view, the system was just doing that, nothing else.

But he was somewhat doubtful about it after the dimension incident. Still, he knew once he grew stronger, he would find out the true secret of this system.

Right now, he needed to focus on the current situation since he was already done clearing one of the prerequisites of the lust mission, which was most difficult.

Now, all he needed to do was to complete the last one, which should be easy with all those undead teeming the slum district right now.

Cyrus called in his mind, "Status!"

_____

Seeing the bar of LXP full, Cyrus's lips curled up as his eyes were filled with killing intent, 'I can finally start killing without holding back anymore. It's been over ten hours since this dimension appeared. It might have already started to evolve. Let me check.'

Cyrus then opened the Lust Sword Quest interface.

_____

'It has already evolved?' Cyrus was flabbergasted since he didn't feel anything at all, as everything was normal.

He previously thought that when the Dimension evolved, it might experience some changes, but nothing happened.

'Or there is another possibility that when it was evolving, I wasn't paying attention…'

Cyrus instantly thought about his passionate 'exchange' with Rita and smiled bitterly since there was really a high chance that he was too busy 'pouncing' her that he didn't even notice it.

Anyhow, it was already too late, and now he had to deal with the current situation.

'Should I let it evolve into the silver rank or not?' Cyrus mused with a stern look, 'First, I need to find the place where the dimension core is hidden, and only after getting rid of the guardian can I decide to play in this dimension or not.

'Because if we humans are not the only ones who entered this place, then I can't take any extensive risks by letting this dimension continue to exist. Especially if there's a chance of some truly terrifying being dragged into this place from the underworld.

'I won't even have a chance to retaliate against them in my current state without risking my life. So, my priority is to secure the dimension core so I can hold the key to retreat if I fall into a passive position!'

With that thought in mind, he started to get dressed!
