Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Captivating Aiko blinked a few times. Thanks to the system changing her affinity, she was easily able to absorb all of that poison safely.

”Nice~” Aiko licked her lips sensually as she tasted that poison. ”It’s weak, but it should be enough...”

[Current beads: 127]

[You can proceed with the ’transformation’ or wait to gather more poison.]

’Waiting, huh~’ Aiko didn’t know how she should feel about that, but the bed below her was nice, and her body was free, so she didn’t really mind it.

’But as the poison decreases, there might be visitors...’ Captivating Aiko didn’t like that. She wanted Mei to see her new body first and then kiss her until she exploded~.

Captivating Aiko pulled out a few snacks and munched on them, licking her lips and all kinds of obscene visual stimulation.

Fortunately, nobody was around as Aiko didn’t bother suppressing herself.

With 8 tails behind her and beauty that was rare even in the Immortal World, she would absolutely cause heart attacks just from a simple glance.

Captivating Aiko deep-throated her fingers and pulled out a small bead from within her body. It was the same bead that was the compression of a specific poison.

She observed it curiously, wondering if the others looked the same, so with the same deep-throating motion, she pulled more of them.

To her pleasant surprise, all of them had different colours and lustre to them.

Some were shiny while some were dull, but all of them were still glistening from her saliva.

Aiko wiped those beads, but the fur also changed colours, inflicting it with poison.

’Can’t I use this with the sling?’ Captivating Aiko licked her lips. This would be a wonderful addition to her arsenal next to her flags~!

Swallowing them back into her body, she lay down naked on her bed. She didn’t bother changing the furs since they would be discarded anyway.

She also didn’t know how getting a new physique would work in the real world, so she didn’t bother doing anything.

[Metamorphosis is done automatically, and you will obtain a ’new’ body with it. The changes won’t be too big outside of some markings and ’adjustments’ so that you can’t poison yourself by accident.]

’But I will be able to turn everything off, right?’ Captivating Aiko didn’t want to poison her partners.

[Once you are skilled enough, you can turn off everything, even the poison resistance.]

’So I could deceive others.’ Captivating Aiko was suddenly quite smarter than before, or maybe just cunning? Nobody could tell yet, but it was a good change.

Nodding her head gently, Captivating Aiko waited for a few more beads, but the poison in the air and around her was obviously purified to a point that she couldn’t even notice any poison.

Fortunately, that was not the same for further away from her, as the toxic Herbs were clinging to their poison for their dear life.

Of course, Aiko would not stop once she started, so she would definitely drain this place of poison!

’It might take a while, though...’ Captivating Aiko was a bit bored, so she might just start the whole thing anyway.

It would cost her, but at least she wouldn’t be bored in the long run~!

Bobbing her head gently, she prepared for her metamorphosis.

[There is enough poison to initiate the first part, but you will have to keep nurturing the physique further.]

’How?’ Captivating Aiko pursed her lips.

[By consuming more poison.]

’Easy enough~’ Captivating Aiko didn’t mind that part. It might take a while to get used to everything, but that was a job for Moon Aiko.

[Initiating the metamorphosis.]

A sudden gust of wind drained the rest of the poison out of all the flowers on the back of the mountain.

That poison rushed towards Aiko.

[Individual ’Spidey’ concluded its Evolution.]

Spidey jumped out of Aiko’s tails and wanted to be praised, but noticed something wrong.

She was floating slightly above the ground, being wrapped by energy.

Being an ingenious spider like she was, she immediately went ahead to make a cocoon around Aiko. That way, the poison would stay near her.

[Intruder is changing the progress of metamorphosis.]

[Large intake of poison and isolation detected.]

[High possibility of an unknown disaster happening.]

Spidey was satisfied with her work and went to sleep near Aiko.

This kind of gentle poison would not hurt it at all, and it might even help it. And thanks to the fact that it used so much silk, it was able to improve its control over it too, so this situation was very beneficial to it!

Spidey made itself a small nest before sleeping inside. It would wait for her to wake up and praise it!

Captivating Aiko could feel the soft silk around her, and she drifted to a silky dream.

*rumble*

Another rumble sounded behind the Alchemy Peak. The Peak Elder slightly sweated, since that was Heavenly Lightning! If he didn’t power the Array before, it would make it unstable and very easy to shatter!

Fortunately, he listened to the Sect Leader and didn’t dismiss his words.

Ah Cy woke up to the rumble and looked out. She already knew that Aiko might be causing chaos, but just in case. ”Sect Leader, we should prepare for other Beasts causing issues.”

”...” Wu Tao didn’t even question it at this point. It felt like Ah Cy knew what would happen before it even happened.

That was not the case. Ah Cy just threw her common sense out of the room when it came to Aiko in order to be able to match her insane progress and eccentric personality.

Shaking his head gently, he soon got reports about Beasts being intoxicated and going feral, trying to get out of the pens and restricted zones.

...

The Grandmaster stood high above the Sect and observed the changes.

”What a troublesome guest.” He chuckled, but didn’t seem too unhappy. If the Sect Array shattered, it would allow him to get more Cloud Wine.

”But...” The issue was the Beasts going berserk. Too many Disciples would lose their lives if this continued.

”I have not done this in a while...” He sighed gently.

He sat down high in the sky and pulled Heavenly Flags. They were the thickness of 2.5 fingers, a bit on the slimmer side, but their power was incomparable to that of normal flags.

He threw them around the whole of Alchemy Peak.

”Demonic Sealing Formation!” He slapped his hand high up in the sky, and the flags lit up.

The whole Alchemy Peak became isolated. This was the best outcome as only a few of them had Beasts and of a lower grade at that, so they were easily subdued.

With that, the disaster would pass without him doing much more.

”Grandmaster.” Ah Cy went high up in the sky to see the progress, but met the Grandmaster.

”At ease, at ease.” The Grandmaster waved his hand. He had no intention to hurt this guest, since she was too precious.

”...” Ah Cy found him strange, but she couldn’t really call him out on that as he was the Senior here.

”What happened?” Ah Cy was curious since the Beasts were thrashing around.

”They smelled something delicious.” The Grandmaster simply replied. Of course, he didn’t mention what he saw, as that was for his sweet memory to keep.

”...” Ah Cy felt suspicious about something, like that time when she was bathing in the Ice Pond. However, it was just a feeling, so she couldn’t really do anything about it.

Captivating Aiko had her body slowly being eroded and rebuilt by the poison. It had to be a physique powerful enough to resist the [Divine Solar Body].

If it were not powerful enough to resist, it would just lie dormant in Aiko’s body without doing anything.

The poison thickened around Aiko, infecting even the silk as the poison dripped from it.

The insides of the cotton were slowly filled with Poison Essence, making it difficult to survive for anyone without proper protection, and even then, they would be eroded by that poison.

Flowers appeared around Aiko’s body as the physique was awakening, sensually leading and wrapping around certain places.

Aiko was naturally not aware of this, as she was in a strange daze.

The Heavenly Lightning descended to temper this new physique and body.

The first one was blocked by the Sect’s Array, damaging it slightly, but not enough to block the cloud exclusion part. The second one struck the cocoon directly.

The Poison Essence inside was concentrated, and thanks to that, it sped up the empowering of the metamorphosis.

Aiko’s body was enhanced, and the sweet scent that drove Beasts mad spread throughout the mountain into the Beast Plains.

The Beasts roared as they tried to get to the origin of that scent, but they were blocked by Disciples in a hurry.

Someone then set up a Formation trapping that sweet, intoxicating scent inside.

Another Heavenly Lightning descended again, tempering her. However, the Heavenly Lightning was so weak that it couldn’t hurt Aiko. What was more, it only allowed her to grow stronger.

That was because the Heavenly Dao was unable to keep everything in check. The Immeasurable Disaster was still underway in the Immortal World, so it couldn’t dedicate too many resources to stopping this.

Thanks to it, Aiko’s metamorphosis was going without too many hiccups. Outside of the Spidey’s interference... and Grandmaster’s... and-

More and more markings appeared on Captivating Aiko’s body as her body underwent the special metamorphosis.

Getting a new physique was not an easy task. You would usually have to gather a lot of one element and try to enhance your body past the limit in order to obtain it.

However, Aiko had so many Treasures inside her body already that it didn’t hurt her at all nor cause any issues.

This was a special privilege only to those who had ridiculous luck or backing.

More and more Heavenly Lightnings descended on Aiko, but none of them hurt her.

She was completely safe as the cocoon absorbed some, and the Poison Essence absorbed some more.

What was left was pure Lightning Essence that coursed through her body, rewiring it so that it functioned better than before.

As one might expect, Aiko was in luck!
