Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 724 720 – Intoxicating Technique

Moon Aiko would get Yuqi an extra large pot, so that she would be happier and wouldn't mind Aiko's mistake.

Moon Aiko pondered what else she could do, so she went through her system.

'Furniture... let's not touch that. Sealed book, meh. [Intoxicating Technique]...' Moon Aiko pulled that one out, making everyone freeze.

'I wonder what is inside...' Moon Aiko opened it and studied it without a care in the world.

"Aiko..." Mei's lips twitched. Sure, there were no bad Elders any more, but that didn't mean the other Elders didn't covet this 'Treasure'.

"What?" Moon Aiko blinked at her. "If you are concerned about them, just chop their hands off." She was not interested in the politics the other Foxes might have, so she told everyone off under the threat of blood.

And as you might expect, that was enough to pacify pretty much everyone.

They all heard about the exploits of the VICIOUS Jade Fox, so they were not really keen in experiencing her 'wrath.'

"See?" Moon Aiko pointed at the scared Foxes and they just looked away.

"..." Mei's lips twitched. "Don't even try to use that technique on others." She knew that Aiko wouldn't do it, but just in case she lost her mind for some reason, Mei chose to still warn her.

"I'm not reading it because I want to use it. I want to get knowledge about the circulation of energies and other things." Moon Aiko rolled her eyes. She was not as shameless to try and learn a technique that made the other Foxes suffer.

What she was interested in was how this technique was created and what it could do.

How it was created was somewhat a mystery, but the energy flow was the real deal.

[You are reading one of the {Original}s of Dual Cultivation.]

[However this technique is severely distorted, so you won't be able to learn much from it.]

'How much are we talking?' Moon Aiko narrowed her eyes. If she couldn't get anything from this, then she would just stop reading altogether. She didn't really need to read it if it was useless, after all.

[Alone, not much, but with the other techniques and manuals you might be able to figure something out.]

Moon Aiko nodded her head. As long as it was not useless she would go through her research!

...

The first few pages didn't teach her much. It was mostly about how to subdue the other Beasts and make them submissive through sex.

Moon Aiko was so uninterested that she almost fell asleep, but the next few pages were more interesting.

It was about exchange of energies and not just that. It also described how to move impurities from one body to another among other things.

'I wonder if I can move those impurities into a toy.' Moon Aiko narrowed her eyebrows. If she could do this, she would be able to eliminate the most serious impurities in the Fox bodies, making them more powerful overall.

And the more she read, the more possible it seemed.

This technique was probably, in its essence, about helping Foxes overcoming the most severe impurities once they reached their self-conscious stage.

This would allow them smoother Evolutions among other things, making them less susceptible to failures.

Of course, someone twisted this technique into what it was in front of Aiko, but that was beside the point.

Moon Aiko didn't need to care about that for the time being, since she wouldn't be able to encounter the creator of this shit even if she wanted to.

Moon Aiko trained her eyes on those words and gestures, trying to extract only information she deemed necessary.

"How is it?" The overly old Fox came over next to Aiko.

She did this because every Fox Elder was on the edge about what the 'Vicious Jade Fox' was trying to accomplish.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

So, she wanted to dispel their uneasiness about this situation through this.

"Interesting, very interesting." Moon Aiko nodded her head.

The Fox Elders gulped nervously and even Mei turned around to face Aiko.

"What exactly?" The overly old Fox was not in a hurry. She already divined what would happen, so there was no worry in her voice at all.

"The thought about being able to get rid of impurities by sending it into toys." Moon Aiko nodded her head seriously, but she didn't even look at anyone.

The Fox Elders were even more concerned, since the previous Elders dubbed the Foxes as 'toys'...

"What kind of toys?" The overly old Fox chuckled. She was wondering if this little Fox was doing that on purpose or if she just liked to mess with others.

"I have no idea. Wood might work, since it's quite gentle. I'm not sure about metal since it's rigid... Maybe glass? That sounds like the best option since you will be able to 'see' those impurities if you train your eyes enough." Moon Aiko pondered on it for a while, but this was the best answer she could give.

Almost all Foxes almost fell head first onto the ground. They didn't expect that the small Fox meant 'those' toys and not living beings.

"How about soft, jelly-like toys?" One Elder suddenly asked. She didn't like rough or stiff toys, so she created her own version.

"I'm not sure..." Moon Aiko frowned. "I think that would make it unusable after a few tries, no?" She didn't believe that the impurities wouldn't ruin the quality of something soft like jelly.

"Oh..." The Fox Elder paused. It was true that she didn't consider that. "How about making a membrane that would protect it?"

"That is impossible. This technique is used to trade the most severe impurities by locking them deep inside the toy... I think." Moon Aiko didn't know if that was true, since she was going off of what she read.

"Hmmmm..." The Fox Elder seriously nodded her head before returning to her post.

The other Fox Elders breathed sigh of relief, but now they were even more interested in what that little Fox would be able to create.

Maybe she might create a revolution that would lead Foxes to prosperity!

'As if...' The Fox Elders shook their heads, but little did they know that Aiko would do so much more...

...

Moon Aiko finished the book. It was an interesting read, even when it had a lot of sinister undertones.

She understood Dual Cultivation a bit more, but there were more questions unanswered than answered.

What would happen to those impurities if all Dual Cultivation were exchanging energies? Those energies would inevitably transmit some of those impurities, so is it better to Dual Cultivate with someone with pure energies? That also might not be it, since those energies might be too powerful, making Dual Cultivation a lot more exhausting if not downright impossible.

What was considered Dual Cultivation? Just the act of balancing energies or the whole bang-bang thingy?

Moon Aiko was curious, but not curious enough to ask in front of everyone, so she would ask about it later.

[There is nothing else you can learn from this.]

The system was clear, so Moon Aiko was also clear. She immediately burned that book.

[You have obtained: [Incomplete Manual] ]

"Why did you do that?" Mei was startled that Aiko actually burned that book.

"I already learned everything I could from it. The rest of the information is useless, unless you are a Fiendish Cultivator or deranged Fox." Moon Aiko shrugged like it was not a big deal, but what she didn't know was that every Fox Elder had a new kind of respect for her.

Not everyone was able to do what she just did. Most of them would probably hide that book and read it a few times more later, in order to figure out how to use this technique without its demerits.

Her [Heavenly Breathing Manual] might be able to be incorporated into it, but not right now. Right now she needed a stable foundation which she would be able to achieve if she read more manuals and techniques.

However, she was not in a hurry just yet. She had enough work to do right now that she honestly couldn't bother her own mind with it.

She also needed to raise her Vitality again, since it was running low right now.

'Let's not think about it for now.' Moon Aiko nodded her head.

[You will be able to integrate pieces of manuals and techniques once you learn enough about them.]

[This is a strenuous and long journey, so please take your time, Princess.]

'You don't have to tell me.' Moon Aiko rolled her mind. She knew what she was supposed to do and she wouldn't be swayed.

She also needed to cause some trouble, since her chaotic energy was running low, but her body was too tired for it.

'Teasing Mei is a no-go, since I would be on the receiving end with so little strength...' Moon Aiko stopped looking at Mei and looked elsewhere.

'Danji would be fine, but Mei would get upset, so let's not do that either.' Now that Moon Aiko thought about it, she couldn't really tease anyone in front of those two, since they would immediately start bickering.

'What am I supposed to do...' Moon Aiko pursed her lips.

...

Moon Aiko read through the other manuals, but the only one useful was the [Dual Yin Cultivation Scripture (Complete, Immortal Form)].

Well, that was obvious since the previous technique was about Dual Cultivation, but what interested Aiko was the ability to exchange the same energies.

Sure, it wouldn't balance you all that much, since neither partner had all that much Yang or Yin, but that didn't mean it was completely hopeless.

In the [Dual Yin Cultivation Scripture] are a few lines about cultivating a tiny Sun in each other's bodies and nurturing it during Dual Cultivation.

Of course that meant the sex part would last about 10 times as much, so not everyone would be able to use it.

'Mei also can't use it.' Moon Aiko thought that Mei had too little energy for how dominant she was trying to act.

Well, she didn't mind all that much since Mei was sweet and gentle, but it was concerning for the future.

Moon Aiko did have quite the vicious Yang, and that was also a problem.

If it couldn't be controlled it would harm her partner, making the whole thing pointless...

'I will just have to research more and slowly.' Moon Aiko didn't believe there weren't other ways that could achieve the same goal.

She would just have to look for them...!
