Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Ah Cy loved her new body. She could squat, lean forward, and do so many things that she couldn’t do before!

She was in love with it, and she would never change it again!

Even if she was booted from the rankings of the most beautiful women on the continent, she didn’t care! The most important thing is that she feels incredible right now.

Ah Cy hummed gently as she enjoyed her new body, unintentionally charming even more innocent youths by her beauty.

As many other Female Cultivators, she also took the Youth Pill, so she looked like she was around her 20s. This was even more obvious now that nobody was constantly glued to her tits!

She already got a few high-quality Beast Cores, but she kept looking for more. If she saw some kind of internal organ that would help Spiritual Supports, then she would pick them too!

’This should be enough, right?’ Ah Cy pondered on it. She purchased around 12,000 Beast Cores, internal organs and special shards that would help nurture things. From that, there were around 4,000 for Beast Cores, 6,000 internal organs and 2,000 special shards.

Nodding her head. It was time to visit the Treasure Peak.

With one step, she disappeared from the Beast Peak and appeared at the Treasure Peak.

A chubby-looking Peak Elder ran outside, flustered by the sudden visit.

”H-Hidden Peak Elder.” The Treasure Peak Elder bowed his head, breathing heavily from the short run.

”Treasure Peak Elder.” Ah Cy smiled.

Treasure Peak was unlike the Beast Peak. There were no stalls, and it didn’t smell bad.

The housing was huge and had many Treasures embedded into the walls for protection. They were made out of bricks, unlike the many other Peaks’ housing made out of wood.

Those were buildings which the Disciples used as housing, but the most important building was the Treasure Pavilion.

Every Treasure inside the Sect would be hidden in that building and guarded by high security.

”What can I do for you, Hidden Peak Elder?” The Treasure Peak Elder was exceptionally polite, since he was standing in front of someone who had achieved a breakthrough in the Lower Mortal World!

”I’m looking for Beast Cores, nurturing liquids, Spiritual Nurturing tools-” Ah Cy quickly recounted what she wished to buy.

The Treasure Peak Elder sweated. The Hidden Peak Elder was known for not spending her Contribution Points, so she was pretty much packed.

”My apologies, Hidden Peak Elder, but I will have to notify the Sect Leader.” The Treasure Peak Elder had to report any kind of excessive spending.

”Please go ahead.” Ah Cy knew about this, so she was not alarmed, and she already had a plan if the Sect Leader was unwilling.

The Treasure Peak Elder touched his excessively sparkly Sect Token.

”Sect Leader?” The Peak Elder spoke through it.

”What is it?” It seemed like the Sect Leader just woke up from his nap.

”The Hidden Peak Elder wishes to spend excessive Contribution Points. What should I do about it?” The Peak Elder further explained the situation and waited.

”Hmmmm...” The Sect Leader wouldn’t be the leader of this place for too long, but that didn’t mean they shouldn’t maintain a good Treasure haul.

”It’s for our ’guest’.” Ah Cy added her reasoning.

”Allow it.” The response came in immediately, which shocked even the peanut gallery.

Whispers spread all around them, but Ah Cy didn’t mind.

”If that’s all-” *Yawn* ”You can just sort it through the Contribution Points, only stop her once she runs out.” Sect Leader added.

He somewhat understood what happened. Ah Cy and the Fox arrived at the Peak, then they were doing something inside.

The Fox walked outside, and the Ah Cy suddenly had a breakthrough. No matter how he looked at it. The main cause of this was the ’new’ guest that they accepted.

As such, it was important to stay on good terms with her!

”Y-yes!” The Treasure Peak Elder sweated even more. He kept his tabs on everyone’s Contribution Points and...

”P-please go easy on me, Hidden Peak Elder.” The Treasure Peak Elder concluded that the Hidden Peak Elder would be able to buy his whole Treasure Hall!

”Lead the way.” Ah Cy just smiled. She would not go easy on them since she wanted to give things to Aiko.

The Treasure Peak Elder sweated buckets as he guided her around his large hall.

”This one is useless. This one seems interesting.” Ah Cy counted the Treasures. Especially those that could nurture Spiritual things.

That way, Aiko could, over time, increase the power behind the Spiritual Water, and if she got a Spiritual Fire, she would be able to nurture that one too!

”I like these Beast Cores.” Ah Cy suddenly felt like not spending her Contribution Points was a big mistake. She was having so much fun, especially since others were dumbly staring at her~!

”This seems nice. I will get this too.” Ah Cy smiled and hummed like a young girl shopping for the first time.

Meanwhile, the Bankrupt Peak Elder was losing his Soul piece by piece as he saw all his prized Treasures being taken away.

”H-Hidden Peak Elder.” The Bankrupt Peak Elder wanted to stop her, but Ah Cy just smiled and kept taking things.

She saved her Contribution Points for 8,000 years, so one could only imagine how many of them she had!

This was pretty much his biggest nightmare, as everything could be taken from here as long as you got the permission from the Sect Leader and enough points.

For some reason, the Sect Leader gave the a-okay, and now she was just plundering this place!

”That should be enough for the first visit.” Ah Cy nodded her head, and the Bankrupt Peak Elder almost fainted.

”F-first one?!” He almost had a heart attack.

’I got the tools, which are the most important, and they stockpile Beast Cores once a week, so as long as Aiko is in this Sect, I will check it once in a while.’ Ah Cy nodded. Tools would be the first ones that would be sold. So she had to take them before others would.

’I will give these to Aiko later, since she actually needs to listen to me to understand the instructions.’ Ah Cy nodded. While sulking, Aiko was cute, but it would do her no good if she didn’t listen to how to use those tools.

’Well, that’s alright for now.’ Ah Cy took a step, arriving at her hidden abode. She was finished with the shopping, and she still had plenty of Contribution Points left, so she could do it again later~!

”I’m back~” Ah Cy hummed like a young girl, startling even Aiko.

Captivating Aiko gazed at her suspiciously.

”I have the things you wanted~” Ah Cy hummed. She was so happy with her new body that she wanted to jump around.

”What is it this time?” Aiko felt a bit overwhelmed by the energetic Ah Cy.

”I have Beast Cores, nurturing liquids, internal organs, shards-” Ah Cy lined a few of them in front of Aiko, so she could pick what she wanted.

”How do you use the internal organs?” Aiko tilted her head.

”Dry, grind and make into soup. It would either help you or a Spiritual being connected to you.” Ah Cy briefly explained.

”But they are not dry.” Aiko raised her eyebrow.

”Because there is another way to use them, since not many like the powdery part.” Ah Cy sighed. She was not fond of internal organs, since she didn’t like the taste at all.

”I see...” Aiko didn’t really mind organs, but she was also not too fond of them.

”Well, you can leave Medicinal Food to me~” Ah Cy hummed. She didn’t like those things, so she figured out her own little way to consume them without feeling icky or burdened.

Aiko shook her head and picked up a Beast Core.

[Earth Beast Core]

[Sacred Beast Rank]

[Purity 80%]

Captivating Aiko’s eyes widened. This was some seriously good stuff, but everything can’t be this good, right?

[Mountain Beast Core]

[Sacred Beast Rank]

[Purity 95%]

Aiko choked on her thoughts as her eyes bulged even more. These were pretty much priceless Beast Cores, and she wondered how much her body would change by consuming them all~!

...

Aiko learned the way to consume Beast Cores from Mei, and she was now even more familiar with it, so she didn’t waste anything.

”Can you stop consuming filth? I’m trying to sleep.” Grandpa Flame appeared out of nowhere, startling both Aiko and Ah Cy.

”Sorry, I want to grow stronger.” Captivating Aiko smiled.

”Since when did you become so ugly...” Grandpa Flame tilted his flame, but he didn’t forget about the other thing.

”You-! Since when did you steal the bridal gifts?!” Grandpa Flame almost fainted when he saw that reverse scale.

”What do you mean? Everything in my tails- most- a few things in my tails are given to me!” Captivating Aiko had to change her wording a few times, since she did steal a lot of things... but that scale was not one of them!

”You-” *Sigh* ”Forget it, just don’t steal more bridal gifts...” Grandpa Flame shook his head. He would later talk about this, but it seemed like right now was not a good time.

They were not alone, and it would do Aiko no good if they talked more.

’It can talk.’ Ah Cy’s eyes sparkled. ”If I knew you also had Spiritual Flame, then I would get some Scorching Grass.” She pouted at Aiko for not telling her that.

”Scorching Grass won’t do anything to me now. You need to do better, girlie.” Grandpa Flame shook his head. Aiko fed him so many things, and that ridiculous Evolution also pushed everything to its limits, so that most things would give him anything.

”It called me girlie~” Ah Cy squealed from happiness since most would call her beautiful or gorgeous or such.

The last time someone called her girlie was when she was 100 years old!

”Anyway.” Grandpa Flame tried to ignore his surroundings, since it seemed like another abnormal individual had attached themselves to Aiko. ”I hope you don’t consume too many of them so I can sleep soon.

”There are only 7,000 Beast Cores.” Ah Cy smiled innocently.

”#@$%! Why do you want to torture me?!” Grandpa Flame cursed in Dragon language.

”It’s fine. I will give you goodies later.” Aiko smiled at him as if telling him that he would be doing this for a while.

”Gosh...” Grandpa Flame was speechless. ”Was it not enough that you have obliterated the Sacred Realm?!”

”And who told them to make it so fragile that a simple Evolution would break it?!” Captivating Aiko retorted since she was still sulking.

”WHO CALLS THAT A SIMPLE EVOLUTION?! GAHHHH YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE!” Grandpa Flame was losing his mind over Aiko’s words.
