Chapter 53
The illusory lady in front of Dyon had white flowing hair. Her qipao matched her previous fur, white with swirling patterns of gold. She walked slowly to Dyon, seemingly sizing him up.
“Even within the Celestial Deer Sect’s prime those with innate auroras were rare… rare to the point that we only had a handful ever in our long history,” She muttered.
‘She doesn’t seem to be in peak condition,’ Thought Dyon. Of course, he didn’t say this either. Who knew if this expert would take offense to such a thing.
Finally, she looked up from her a.n.a.lysis.
“Don’t move,” Dyon saw an delicate illusory hand touch his forehead. Even if he wanted to move, he was powerless to stop it.
He felt as though his whole life was being laid bare. His memories flashed through his eyes and after but a moment, it seemed like this woman knew everything about him.
“It seems like your sect is dealing in quite some darkness… But, to be able to form 9th common level arrays with such little practice, you would be a peak genius even lined up against our whole lineage…”
The lady nodded in satisfaction.
“It seems like my wait wasn’t for naught. I know what you need, just come with me. I’m willing to bestow what you need to save your woman as long as you promise to take care of my child like your own little brother after I fade.
“I’ll be leaving an imprint on your heart, if you ever dare treat him like a tool, the sliver of my soul will kill you in an instant.”
A cold sweat appeared on Dyon’s back, but he was relaxed. He had no intentions of abusing Little Black, so he was content with the arrangement.
But, wasn’t this all a little too fast? What had this woman been waiting for? And, she seemed to be a soul, but how did she have such a young child? Had she only recently died? Beyond that, did she really have a way to cure Madeleine? Was she trustworthy?
“Wait, senior, you know about G.o.ddess’ Disposition?” Still, Don couldn’t help but ask this.
“Ai, it’s among the top 3 innate G.o.d level body const.i.tutions a female can have,” The Celestial lady began to walk into the building, “But, it’s also among the most troublesome. Although the way this Akihiko noted is indeed a way to cure it, it also means draining your woman of all her potential.
“Her life span would be that of a normal human, and all of her talent would then belong to him. It’s a method only dark clan members would use. I suspect this Daiyu clan has affiliations with them…
“I believe I heard about a Daiyu clan many millennia ago, but, they were wiped out during the war my Celestial Deer clan had with their allies against our enemies. I’m not sure if they’re related or not, but it’s important for you to not underestimate them in the future…”
The woman’s mood seemed complicated when she spoke of these events.
Dyon’s expression turned serious. “So, is there a way to cure her without draining her potential?”
“There are a few ways. The crudest way is to drain all of her blood and replace it with blood from another G.o.d level const.i.tution. Another way is for her to unite with someone who has the G.o.ds’ Disposition body type, the symptoms of which are much the same, but within a male. But, I don’t think either of these are routes you can or want to take.
“Another option is a Grandmaster level pill called the Const.i.tution Awakening pill. It seems counter-intuitive to awaken a const.i.tution that’s plaguing her, but, the const.i.tution is actually only acting up like this because it needs a catalyst to be fully awakened.”
“Does the celestial deer clan have those pills on hand?”
“Of course we do, such a monstrous Sect would have hundreds of disciples with const.i.tutions that needed to be awakened. However, these pills have lost their potency over the thousands of years it has been since the sect was destroyed…”
The Celestial lady sighed as she came to ma.s.sive black doors. It almost looked like a tomb.
Dyon’s determination steeled, “What level of array alchemist must I be to forge the pill?”
The Celestial Lady had already said that it was a Grandmaster level pill. Obviously, then, one had to be a Grandmaster to forge it. But, since this woman also said she had a solution, she must have another way. As of now, Dyon was nowhere close to this level.
The celestial lady turned and smiled in satisfaction.
“Determination is exactly what you need on the path of cultivation. That girl is lucky to have you, and my son will learn well under you. Normally, you’d need to be a peak level grandmaster array alchemist to form the pill, so your aurora would have to be at the Saint Stage. But, there’s another way.
“If your aurora reaches the Blooming Stage, a step beyond your current Foundation Stage, and you use the Pill Condensation technique of my Celestial Deer Sect, then you can combine the pills that have lost their potency together to form a super pill of sorts.
“In fact, considering your talent, you might be able to awaken 100% of her const.i.tution if you combine enough pills. Usually, the pills only awaken about 60-70%.”
Dyon’s hands clenched, ‘I can do this.’
“The only reason I even bring this up as an option is because I trust in your comprehension abilities… This technique may not have high requirements for cultivation because you’re using already made pills, but it requires a comprehension level even higher than the understanding of the person who made the pill…
“I’ll transfer the technique to you soon… as for your soul strength, I think I have a solution. The path of cultivation you want to take is in fact something many geniuses have done before you. To wait until your body matures is a path only those of absolute confidence take. In fact, if your woman hadn’t been born into such a low level of the Sapientia clan, she probably would have taken this path as well.
“It’s unfortunate that they wasted her potential like that. But, if you take a Cultivation Cleansing pill with you as well, you can give it to her before you awaken her Const.i.tution completely. Then she can start cultivating immediately. This is the benefit of having a G.o.d Grade Const.i.tution. Anyone with such a const.i.tution can begin cultivating immediately as long as it’s fully awakened.”
The loud sound of shifting gears sounded.
The doors slowly opened, and the sight before Dyon had him nearly drop Little Black.
