The following days were quiet, the three children focused only on hatching the eggs, Ning was the one with the most problems because his egg had been recently laid so it lacked a lot of energy which would usually be used but with one hand on the egg and another on the crystal horn he absorbed the mana and let it flow into the little male deer in the shining egg.
Only after the horn dulled a bit and the egg grew to almost 50% bigger than a human head did it hatch and what came out was an identical deer fawn. The little fawn was about as long as Ning’s leg from nose to tail, it was as high as his knee and had light purple fur with spots of dark purple and black. On his head were two little crystal partitions which would eventually grow into horns.
Previously his mother had a very light purple brown coat as did his sibling but this one had a very deeper purple and no brown. It was clear that he had much thicker blood from some ancient lineage when compared to the other two.
Ning found that after hatching the little fawn ate his egg and after cultivating he was only at the 1st level of the mana gathering.
Ning held the horn and knew it still had around 80% of its original power. This was indeed a mystical material and those who use train the Natural Law of Lightning would want this for weapons or such.
“This horn would make a good spear head.” He muttered but shook his head and put it away and stood up. Upon doing so the little fawn also opened its eye and stood up on its shaky thin legs.
They left the room and the little fawn began to jump about as it got used to walking.
As soon as he stepped out of the room he found his mother with Rinrin and Su waiting.
“Good, come with me Ning.” She said with a smile and lead them without saying more.
The three followed until they entered a large room with some empty windows and a, dense to almost suffocating degree, spirit energy pressure in the room.
“Alright children, this is your cultivating room, Uncle Chonglou is out and about through the region gathering suitable disciples. Most of them will be disciples in waiting and will be trained to see if they can become an outer disciple. Unlike them you children already have the qualifications since I personally trained you and you have Treasure Pagoda.” She said.
“What is this room for them?” Ning asked.
“Of course it's so that you children can cultivate. Now that all three of you have at least one of each type of Beast it’s time you properly cultivate Spirit Beasts.” She said.
The three blinked confused by the strange term.
“Um… what are Spirit Beasts?” Su asked.
“Come in and I will explain.” Yueliang said.
They all entered and, while breathing heavily, sat on the bed while Yueliang stood in front of them. “Alright, let’s put this in the simplest terms. Spirit Beasts are Beasts who absorb all forms of energy, they follow a completely different cultivation method and instead of absorbing mana, Qi or Infernal Energy alone they absorb Spirit Energy and refine it into a very pure Spirit Essence.” She said.
The three looked at her as if asking, ‘what does this have to do with us?’.
“Oh don’t look at me like that, you're all going to cultivate one of the Yi clan’s Spirit Essence system manuals. In truth even if you don’t you would get Spirit Essence but it will be shit quality because it was poorly mixed when you start to form your foundation. The foundation is made of Spirit Essence but only top grade sects and clan’s know of methods to refine it. This is something Rider’s need to help them advance since Spiritual Beasts are many times stronger than common beasts and once you ascend you will have to absorb extremely pure Spirit Energy with every kind of energy which our region does not have. Once you ascend you will meet true Spiritual Beasts.” She said. After reaching this point she took out a jade slip and tossed it into Ning’s hand.
He submerged his Spiritual Energy into the jade slip and read the information but just after reading the first chapter his face instantly turned bright red and he looked down before pulling his mind out.
“Eh… what’s wrong?” Su asked.
He moved his hand for her to grab and she did so and closed her eyes and she didn’t even last half before her face from turned bright red to the point of almost causing steam to rise. She couldn’t even look at Ning anymore.
“What is so embarrassing about this!? Let me see!” Rinrin shouted frowning and took the jade slip and began to read it. She frowned at them as she read but slowly her face turned to one of confusion before a faint blush appeared before she threw the jade slip on the bed hard, “SO LEWD!” She roared and glared at Yueliang.
She started to laugh as she saw the sight of the children blushing. “No now children, this is very advanced, if you truly want to grow stronger the least you need is chapter one which is enough to help you start to convert the three separate energies into Spirit Essence. In a room with so much dense energy it will make it easier.” She said gleefully.
The children couldn’t even look at her.
“Oh come on now.” She frowned, “It’s just hugging.”
“COMPLETELY NAKED!” Rinrin shouted embarrassed before sitting down and covering her face with her small hands.
Yueliang sighed, “Well we have 3 years before we return to the Yi clan, that is when the gathering for the recruitment test will happen. During that time we have plenty of time to train, get you children up to speed with all the missed subjects you would need to learn while you are a disciple in waiting. You children just pull yourself together and get this done as quick as possible. I’ll tell you this, the bloodline of your beasts would definitely improve greatly if you do this and the only backdraw is seeing each other naked which you will see anyway when you are older since you’re married so why not start early? Just don’t pass chapter 2 since you are too young for that.” She said and laughed.
“MOTHER!” The three shouted as she left the room.
There was complete silence but Ning moved and took the jade slip once more, reading it once more and memorizing everything even though his face was incredibly hot from all the things present.
What was a Rider’s cultivation manuel, of course it is a dual cultivation method, a male and female together linking their meridians and cultivating together and mixing their energies. What was this Spirit Essence style? It is a Trio cultivation style. What does that mean, to Riders women gain an edge over men because there is a 2:1 ration when distributing benefits. Men get a massive stability and foundation and women gain in speed but they are technically equal.
This one on the other hand is a three way cultivating manuel for 2 females and 1 male. With a second female a perfect equilibrium is built for all three. Between girls it creates quality while between me it is quantity. In other words this is a cultivating style that causes two girls and one boy to do quite a number of illicit things between both boy and girl as well as girl with girl.
The first chapter is even on par with what they previously did but it already begins with one girl sitting on Ning’s lap while the other hugs from behind. Not only that but he doesn’t align their arms and instead he needs to put the acupuncture's all around their body and connect the meridians through there so it is a very ‘touchy’ method. It is no wonder Rinrin probably didn’t even read half of the first chapter.
By the end Ning’s face was burning up. He held the jade slip out, “I… I read it already… the first two chapters. You two read it and memorize what needs to be done.” Ning said.
Even as children they were incredibly innocent. In the first two chapters it was, luckily, only skinship at most and kissing, since the tongue also has specific places which the meridians should connect, the simplest is hugging front and back while moving the arms to a few specific places and points and connecting specific branches of meridians together.
Su held the jade slip with trembling hands and was almost releasing steam and only after a very long time could she memorize without her very young innocent mind fantasizing so much.
When she held it out to Rinrin she didn’t even look out of shame. Rinrin in question was glaring at the jade slip and snatched it and growled before forcing herself to read it as well and only when she was done did she throw it brutally on the bed to not break it but to vent even a little.
“This is to perverted! LEWD!” Rinrin roared and crouched down mumbling.
Ning sighed, “Should we do this now or later? Eventually we need to do this.” Ning asked.
“YOU VULGAR PERVERT! LEWD! TRASH! DISGUSTING PERVERT!” Rinrin shouted with a face that was as bright as her blood red eyes.
“Um… can’t we do only the first part? It’s just hugging and a kiss.” Su asked extremely red faced.
“Lewd girl! You wanted something like this! Just like when you were drunk!” Rinrin shouted.
Suddenly Ning had an idea and fished into his spatial pouch and pulled out the Spirit Gourd, “Why don’t you two drink a cup, it will be easier for you to pass this if you drink. Su is bold and you're jealous so it would be easier to start cultivating like that.” Ning said.
“I! AM! NOT! JEALOUS!” Rinrin roared and flopped onto the bed.
Ning took out two cups and prepared them and sat down. The room fell into an awkward silence as Ning sat with the cups. After a long ten minutes Rinrin turned around and sat up before taking the cup.
Seeing Rinrin finally take the cup Su also took it and drank alongside her. When the two finished their faces were flushed with a different kind of red.
“NAH listen ear Ning!” Rinrin shouted as her tongue slipped. “AH wal only… DO this un time!” As soon as she said that she boldly ripped off her clothes, “Lew Gurl! Hold em!” Rinrin shouted and only at that time did Ning remember about Su and when he looked his face blushed as he found her blushing face and her pure white exposed body behind him.
She gripped his shoulders and suddenly sat down behind him and locked her legs before putting her arms under his shoulders and locking his arms as well.
“W-wait! Su!” Ning shouted.
“Ah~! Husband is so warm, Su likes husband!” She said in a drowsy tone as she rubbed her face on his back but her arms and legs were firmly locked around his body and putting his balance off center.
At this time Rinrin stumbled over and began to remove his clothing, she was already bare of her clothing and she quickly ripped off Ning’s pants before removing the robe and shirt. Su released his arms and had them thrown off before she sat up in a saiza and leaned against his back. As for Rinrin she suddenly sat on Ning’s lap facing him and locked her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.
Stolen novel; please report.
She firmly glued her body against his and suddenly she advanced and locked lips stealing Ning’s first kiss. Stumbling through this Ning, who was the only one with a somewhat clear mind, began to try and cultivate and when the girls felt that they had a vague moment of clarity and remembered what they had to do. After blinking a bit they let their meridians lose feeling the other’s body and soon they found the points and moved and touched connecting in this places.
As soon as it connected 15 lights appeared and all of the beasts showed up around them. They all let out a small hiss or roar as Ning began to send his Spiritual Energy to the connected meridians what followed was a mental chant while he tried to maintain his mind in this moment of almost beastly heat.
The next moment all the energy from all 15 beasts surged and began to follow a particular pattern until it surged into Ning’s body and vise versa.
Suddenly this surging energy began to flow through their bodies.
“Ah~! No fair! Me to!” Su said and pulled Ning’s face and kissed him before her hand hugged around his head but also Rinrin’s and she touched a few acupuncture on the girl’s back and connected allowing a strange surge to flow from the two girls while another went through Ning’s and her’s lips.
At this moment the surging energy reached the Dao Seeds and under the sutra a strange phenomenon began to happen. The previously stagnant Dao Seeds began to spin. The energy kept surging and slowly the five Dao Seeds in the body of the three children began to spin in a circle faster and faster.
Rinrin suddenly disconnects and turns around sitting with her back against Ning and connects and the surge flows even faster as she grabs Ning’s face and kisses him. Rinrin moves her arms back and touches Su’s sides and through her hand another connection is formed.
The room began to rapidly heat up and the 15 Dao Beasts were on the ground trembling as if in great pains.
In the body of the children the Dao Seeds seem to have merged into a single ring and all this surging energy was sucked in and was let out with an unprecedented purity, along with that the spirit energy in the air suddenly began to surge towards the Dao Beasts who hissed and roared and soon that energy reached the children. It was a dense, almost like liquid, Spirit Energy and as it impacted the spinning ring of Dao Seeds the ring suddenly burst a bright energy and split into five rings of different colors as they suddenly began to spin in different directions following a different route yet they never impacted.
The energy from the Dao Beasts and from the ambient cloud surged into their Dao Seeds and the purity of the energies grew more and more as it surged back into the bodies of the beasts once more. As for what was happening inside the Dao Seeds, they were absorbing and releasing an unimaginable amount of energy outside and slowly a very small trickle of immensely pure energy found it’s way into the center of the spinning rings that were the Dao Seeds.
Back and forth the energies surged and slowly the trickle began to thicken a bit more as more of this pure energy gathered into a small circle in the center of the Dantian space like a sun which the planets spin around.
The concentration grew more and more until the Dao Seeds began to slow down and the energy began to settle back down inside the Dao Beasts that was their owner. Almost every single one of them had a major improvement with just the first chapter being performed. Be it quality or quantity it was a massive rise. Of course those who were bottlenecked at the initial Xiantian didn’t have a substantial growth in amount but the quality was massively improved.
What happened next was what changed everything.
The ball of pure white energy in the middle of the now stopped Dao Seeds began to shimmer and slowly it spread out in five directions. Slowly it split into five balls of equal size and slowly floated to the Dao Seeds and once it touched it.
BANG!
As if an explosion happened, an unearthly power surged into each Dao Seed. The symbol on each seed began to brightly shine and they began to glow brightly. The energy began to seep inside all the way to the very center and as it did, the energy seemed to have a powerful repulsing force because a black sludge was pushed out of the seeds and slowly they began to thicken each layer while it also began to turn more like a crystal.
Only after this energy reached the very center did it continue to it’s next objective. It suddenly surged out of the seeds and burst towards the 15 Dao Beasts who were tired and when it entered their bodies it mercilessly surged into their meridians then their blood, muscles, flesh and bones all the way to the dantian.
When the energy reached the very center it formed a ball at the center no matter what it was. Be it Kala’s Demon Core which had begun to form or the Demon Essence in Zero’s body the energy entered it and suddenly all the gathered power began to surged in and out of the ball of energy.
A massive change to the energy of the beast began to happen. This energy pulled every last fiber of the original energy of these Dao Beasts and refined it within the small ball while the rest of the energy surged into their muscles where more and more firmly implanted itself and refined the body.
What was strange was that as the energy was also left in the body of the three children. This energy surged through their bodies and refining it sucking up all the energy that was used to refine the body before refining it into something similar to itself and releasing it.
As this happened, Rinrin’s white hair began to slowly turn from white then to grey before black strands appeared shining like black silk. As for all three, their black sclera and blood red irises slowly returned to it’s natural color as the Infernal Energy was sucked out and replaced with this Spirit Energy.
If a common person saw the energy in their body they would say that they have completely ruined themselves for trying to cultivate all three forms yet this was a perfectly refined Spirit Energy but it had yet to reach the level of being essence.
As of now the energy was raging inside them while sucking their energy and converting it. Due to the purity of this energy it caused a massive amount of impurities in the Infernal Energy, Qi and Mana to be expelled and made the energy turn many times purer but it caused those who were at the Initial Xiantian stage or equal to drop to the Peak of Houtian but that didn’t stop there.
For those who had low cultivating it began to rise while the bloodline of all these beasts began to ignite especially those who had already bottlenecked.
Tora hissed as his body began to release a massive amount of energy. His 30 cm long body began to grow even in its smallest size it grew to 60 cm. The long sword like wings began to shine and suddenly behind the first set of wings two more pairs began to sprout. The scales began to grow and began to resemble feathers. Then shined a white with green hue and the fangs and spike on his body grew sharper and harder.
Even Zero was drastically affected, the immense demonic aura vanished and a roar from him released a new aura. One several times stronger, his blood felt like it was boiling and he felt the small horns on his head digging out of his skull as they grew. The small wings on his back rapidly absorbed most of the energy and in turn began to develop. Very soon they were almost the same size as his body and fully developed for flight and he simply needed to learn.
All the others developed even more.
Finally the energy waned and returned to the body of the children before entering the Dao Seeds but not exactly as they bore through the Dao Seed and entered the flames within each Dao Seed and another wave of energy came as the flames were refined, turning from Demon or Qi flame and turning into Spirit Flames. Even Zero’s Demon Dragon was no different and became a Spirit Dragon Flame.
When everything finally settled down all the creatures and children collapsed falling into a deep sleep just as they were.

“My my, little Yue. Your boy is quite resourceful to get such a shy and headstrong woman to do such a thing. Still…” he looked at the woman and narrowed his eyes, “... Don’t tell me you want to raise a gigolo?” he asked.
“Uncle please! This is my own baby boy, why would I want to make him a stud horse? Hmph, I had them train the Rider’s Spirit Essence Foundation art. Who asked the ancient Riders to be so perverted that it would force children in the future to be like this. The only saving grace is that they only need the first two chapters to break through the foundation. The cultivation of all their beasts will also go down the drain and will be rebuilt from scratch as Spirit Beasts.” She said.
“That is quite a cruel method.” Yi Chonglou said.
“Oh? How so? The Dao Seed doesn’t break down, they simply have to cultivate to make up the difference in cultivating system. Each Dao Beast lacks two energies completely, to make up that difference would take almost two years, even if they took the first step today it covers only enough to cause initial awakening of their beasts potential.” She said.
“I fear you are bringing monsters back to the clan.” He said.
“Oh please, the most they would do is crush sister’s brats if she still isn’t single.” She said and grinned sinisterly, “If that bitch really is I wonder what kind of fun I can have with her.” She laughed sinisterly.
“Ah you and your sister, just don’t cause trouble for the clan will you. The two Devil Yi’s were enough of a hassle when you were children, we don’t need tycoons of your power fighting it out or else the clan won’t get only some simple damages.” He said.
“I wonder if I can get Ning to cripple her kids, no Ning isn’t as strong willed, Rinrin yes she can do it.” Yueliang kept muttering.
“YUE!” Chonglou roared making her look.
“You don’t need to roar uncle, I am listening.” She said.
The fat man sighed and shook his head in dismay. “Ah the clan will be quite lively in the year’s to come, with little Yue back the tips are going to shake very wildly.” He thought. “Yue, please be more low key, at least until you find your place back in the clan. Your forces haven’t grown as much because you couldn’t refine the gardens, your forces are weakened and your sisters are bolstered how are you going to be so high key like that.” Chonglou said the reality of the situation.
“Oh is that all?” She asked.
“Is that all?! How can you be so easy going!?” He roared.
“Of course because I had 5 secret disciples in my forces who I kept under tight secret, only father knows about them and they are there to refine the lower grade things while I would focus on my mountain and more important items.” She said.
The old fat man’s jaw dropped. “5 Pagoda!”
“Not just any pagoda but 4 floors fully functioning and they are quite talented you know. The ones that everyone saw were probably the lower ranking members who manage the cleaning and weak members for guard duty. I shall let uncle see once we are back.” She said
“You girls and your schemes.” He sighed and looked at the cup of tea. He took a sip and sighed once more as the hundreds of fragrances spread through his mouth. “Still to use a treasure from a Spirit Gourd just to cultivate seems wasteful.” Chonglou said.
“I doubt they used the best brew. Neither girl can hold their liquor, Ning has long since prepared several brew’s following the recipe of several pills, one of which is the level 12 pill Five Element Spirit Gathering Dan. Why do you think the suction of Spirit Energy was so huge?” She said.
Hearing the words of his niece the old man realized that it was true, no matter what only someone with at least a half their spirit vein would be needed to do the same kind of suction force that they had performed. It made him nod in understanding, “Ah~! Spirit Gourd! How can such a treasure be in a child’s hands?” He sighed.
“It’s his own luck that he found it. Truthfully it was a big help for me because I was able to make several high level mixtures which helped me when I was at the peak Xiantian. I only recently returned to the Heavenly Dan stage.” She said.
“Oh? You better not overdo it with the pills, it will make your foundation shaky.” He said.
“Don’t worry, I always clean my system of pill poisons and train a long time before I refine my Qi in the pagoda once. I refine it once a week which is plenty enough to make my Qi regain a large amount of purity.” She said.
“Again, don’t overdo it.” He said and took out a parchment. “The list of children obtained in this sect is a bit shocking, I never expected such a small scale sect to have enough talents to be drawn in.” He said.
Yueliang walked over and looked at the names, she pointed to Bo Shi, “This is my second boy, you don’t need to be courteous make sure he is put under heavy training. His talent is much less compared to Ning but it is enough that in 10 years he might get into the outer sect.” She said.
“Ho~! Interesting. That is some talent, 10 years is quite a short time.” He said.
“Hmph, Ning took 5 months to reach the 2nd level of runemaster and he even carved spirit vein’s on a sword. His talent isn’t like those other trash the clan takes in!” She said proudly.
“He can carve it already!” He exclaimed in surprise.
Yueliang nodded and began to explain the children’s talents and difficulties followed by how they refined but the way he make the vein’s is known since each one figures his way out but the quality of his is quite good.
“Not bad, to make simple profound steel reach a potential of Ungraded Sky Rank, that is indeed some good talent.” Chonglou nodded, “I wonder how fierce they will get before reaching the sect.” He laughed.
“When I am done with those brat’s, they will be strong enough to cause a storm! But for now…” She grinned as Ning’s medical garden appeared in her hands, “... It’s time to amp up the training speed for his slaves. Uncle I will be busy, when they come out please direct them to the training area where the disciples in waiting are training. His friends, Guo Tian and Meng Bei are there along with Rinrin’s sister Zhao Ru Lei, are there so let them have fun and train. The boys are quite competitive so it’s a good way to have them grow faster. I can see Ning gloating to them causing them to train harder.” She said.
The old man’s eyes shined and he grinned, “Alright, seems interesting, let’s see how it goes. You can go I will take care of the children.” He said and laughed.
“I’ll leave them in your care.” She said and the fat old man nodded before she vanished.
The old man closed his eyes and chuckled before standing and leaving himself.
