Chapter 247: Kunwu Quest Completed!
After playing around for a while, Cao Mao brought Zhao Yun to the mansion of his yin slaves. He placed her on the ground.
Zhao Yun pouted as she still wanted to continue playing. Still, she looked forward to seeing her new home and her new family, so the rabbit girl complied quietly. She gazed at the mansion and admired it
The current 3-story wooden mansion had been renovated. It had been painted in white, and the building expanded into two wings. 15 extended balconies on the third stood out as each of them had been decorated differently as each yin slave had taken a room for themselves. Five other balconies were still empty as there was no one living in the rooms.
Cao Mao and Zhao Yun couldn't see the backside of the mansion. However, there were 20 other unoccupied rooms with similar balconies. Of course, the number of empty rooms on the second floor had not been included in the available room list.
"Papa's home!"
Cao Mao walked toward the two wooden doors and pulled them.
Upon opening the front door, cold air gushed out of the mansion as if the mansion had been air-conditioned. However, Cao Mao didn't remember that they had made one for this building.
The cold air contained dense Life Qi and unknown elemental Qi. Just by inhaling them, their Qi pool in their dantians increased.
Zhao Yun's dantian reacted to the surge of Qi. Her aura soured, and an illusion of a fledging phoenix manifested behind her back and opened its mouth, sucking all warm Qi into its lung.
Cao Mao turned around as he sensed a domineering presence of a sacred beast. As soon as he saw the avatar of a fledging phoenix, he dropped his jaw.
Earlier, Cao Mao didn't pay attention to Zhao Yun's cultivation strength as he had too many concerning matters in his mind, such as Zhao Bao's motive, Zhao Yun's counterpart in his previous world, the orc army, and Liu Bian. But now, he had detected her true strength.
Currently, Zhao Yun's cultivation base had reached the late 4th-stage, and she formed a sea of essence. Her fire element Qi orbited around her as if they wanted to eat all Life Qi in the air.
'Isn't she only 11 or 12!? Now, she's fucking stronger than me because she ate that divine pill!?'
Cao Mao began to regret giving the pills away. Had he eaten them, he might have condensed a sea of life essence by now.
But then, Cao Mao noticed the anomaly. Normally, the natives of this world should only be able to cultivate either yin or yang Qi. However, Zhao Yun's Qi was the same as Cao Mao's.
She had Life Essence!
Cao Mao had a wry smile on his face. He figured that it might be the work of the vermilion bird's soul, who could self-resurrect upon death. The [Rebirth] and [Life] traits might have influenced Zhao Yun's growth. Therefore, her dantian had evolved, and she could cultivate Life Essence.
Ding
[System has detected a virgin cultivator with Divine Phoenix Physique.]
[Your Sponsor has given you a side-quest.]
...
Side-Quest: Take Zhao Yun's Virginity
Complete Condition: Do I even have to explain!? JUST DO IT!
Failure Condition: Zhao Yun's virginity has been taken by someone else.
Quest Rewards: ???
Failure Penalty: ???
...
The quest was so random that Cao Mao had the urge to yell at his sponsor and the system screen for being unnecessarily horny. He wanted to transform himself into multiple doges and bonk them with a hundred baseball bats.
Still, it was not the time to be sidetracked by either Zhao Yun or the quest. Cao Mao was curious about how his wives were doing in the mansion after they had eaten the immortal pills.
After Zhao Yun had suppressed her aura and Qi, the two entered the building to investigate the mansion.
As the two entered the building, they found Ma Xingjuan in the lobby with two other yin slaves, who were combing the former's hair.
"Ah, Miaomiao. You're back."
Cao Mao raised his eyebrows as he noticed everybody's cultivation base. The two yin slaves had condensed four seas of Life Essence, and they were on the verge of breaking through to the next realm. Ma Xingjuan also caught up to them even though she had been a lot weaker than these girls before she had eaten the pill.
Ma Xingjuan's cultivation aptitude was no joke. With proper cultivation resources, her strength improved a lot faster than the others. After all, she had once been promoted as an inner disciple of Silver Phoenix Sect for a reason.
Also, the three girls' glossy skin and lustrous hair showed that their physiques had also been upgraded. The air that they had exhaled contained their excess Life Qi, fire element Qi, wood element Qi, and lightning element Qi, which had been produced by their bone marrow and dantian.
The immortal pills worked like magic!
'I guess 2 billion liters of Life Essence is well spent. The result is worth it.'
These women had the same foundation as Cao Mao as they inherited his Life Essence and elemental mastery. Moreover, their extra essence seas revealed that they had also condensed one more elemental core than Cao Mao.
Although Cao Mao was curious what kind of element they had condensed, he refrained himself from asking them. After all, he had all the time to question them and absorb their element Qi later when they were alone.
"Congratulations on your advancement. You girls are actually stronger than me now."
The yin slaves giggled, "But you will absorb our element Qi and get stronger than us again pretty soon."
The two girls were Tang Ting and Fang Meirong, who were a part of the 10 rescued yin slaves.
Tang Ting and Fang Meirong had the same hairstyle. Their long black Cleopatra hairstyle, pale skin, sharp eyes, and red eyeshadow tattoos made their pretty face unique. Moreover, their heart-shaped faces were also similar, which was easy to mistake them as siblings or twins.
Tang Ting boldly wore only a bra and underwear while Fang Meirong only had a loose robe without pants and undergarments. They revealed a lot of skin, cleavages, and their juicy long legs, which made Zhao Yun blush in embarrassment.
These vampires also had another identification symbol above their crotch area, which had been designed by Cao Mao. It was a lewd heart-shaped pink tattoo with a roman number at the center, indicating their division within Cao Mao's harem.
The roman number, "III", was the vampire division under Ju Chen's jurisdiction. Other than Ju Chen, Tang Ting, and Fang Meirong, and three more members were a part of this [Third] division.
After greeting their master, the two vampires noticed the little rabbit girl behind Cao Mao. They grinned, "Is she our new sister?"
Cao Mao nodded, "Yup. I haven't formally made her one of you yet, but I need you to take care of her. She's a very timid girl, so don't bully her, okay?"
Tang Ting giggled, "Of course. Why should we bully our new sister? Right?"
Ma Xingjuan and Fang Meirong nodded. They gave Zhao Yun a gentle smile. However, Fang Meirong accidentally revealed her vampire fangs, "Come here. We won't bite you."
"!!!"
Zhao Yun shrieked before she hid behind Cao Mao, refusing to look at the vampire woman.
"Oi, you dumb vamp! Hide your fangs before you talk. You're scaring her!" Tang Ting smacked Fang Meirong's head. Then, she knelt and brought out a stick candy, "I'm so sorry, dear. It's okay. This elder sister will protect you from this dum-dum woman. Many other sisters will also look after you, okay?"
"..."
Zhao Yun peeked at Fang Meirong. Then, she hid behind Cao Mao again.
The reaction of Zhao Yun was too cute. Ma Xingjuan, Fang Meirong, and Tang Ting had the urge to carry her to their room and keep her as their pet.
...
A few minutes later, Zhao Yun managed to muster her courage to talk with her new sisters. After a brief chat, Ma Xingjuan and others took her to the third floor to introduce her to other yin slaves.
At first, Cao Mao accompanied the group. Unfortunately, something came up and interrupted his blissful family time.
Ding
[You have completed the side-quest, Restore Jia Shan's Dantian.]
[An immortal-grade weapon has been transferred to your system inventory.]
Finally, Jia Shan would join ranks of other 7th-stage cultivators again. He would be useful in future combat and the city defense.
But that was not the end of system messages.
Ding
[The World Guardians have given permission for several dao gods to transfer restricted items to you.]
[Supply Box from Kunwu has been added to your system inventory.]
[Supply Box from OG-Buddha has been added to your system inventory.]
[Supply Box from Sun Crow has been added to your system inventory.]
[Supply Box from Anonymous Sponsor has been added to your system inventory.]
Several items had been transferred to his system inventory at once after the system had confirmed the completion of the very first side quest.
Learning from past mistakes, Cao Mao chose not to take out any item at the moment. He left the girls and picked an empty room to take a nap in secret.
...
Isolation Training Space
As soon as Cao Mao opened his eyes to see the current state of his space, he was astonished by the sight.
The blank white room had now become an alternate plane.
Cao Mao sat down and touched the grass on the ground. He looked around, checking the grassland and the space.
There were no walls. Cao Mao couldn't even see what lied beyond the grassland horizon.
The cloud in the sky looked real as it moved toward the direction that the wind blew. The warm wind that had been hitting his face was also real.
After Cao Mao had confirmed that the space had changed into a plane or a world, he started exploring his new space.
As there was no animal around, Cao Mao could hear the sound of flowing water from afar. He leaped to the sky and followed the source of the sound.
Soon, Cao Mao located a large river with transparent water. He landed next to the river to check it.
Upon touching the water surface, Cao Mao's face changed. He recognized this water.
It contained the unified basic elements and strong Life Essence. Furthermore, he could communicate with the blood cells within the water.
In short, the river water was his own blood!
"Well, shit. Is this fucking place my own body!?"
Ding
[The Isolation Training Space reflects your constitution, foundation, physique, and your mind.]
[You are not currently inside your body. You are inside the Isolation Training Space.]
"Yeah, I know. But how do you explain my freaking blood over here..."
Ding
[The Isolation Training Space reflects your constitution, foundation, physique, and your mind.]
"..."
Cao Mao rolled his eyes as the system didn't give him any new information. He opened his skill menu and checked a certain skill.

Private Plane Maker Mode
...
The next upgrade perks in the description had hinted about this change.
[Private Plane Maker Mode]
Cao Mao rubbed his chin as he could vaguely guess what his space was about to turn into. He thought of a certain protagonist from an extremely long farming novel, which had over 9,600 chapters, it was still ongoing by the time that he had been transmigrated here.
Having a similar ability of that genocidal protagonist might be nice. Though, he didn't like having a private army of undead soldiers.
"Tell me, system. Is this [Private Plane Maker Mode] related to an ability to grow crops or rear animals?"
Ding
[Yes.]
Cao Mao burst into laughter, "Okay. Then, when this space becomes a plane, will it be a complete physical plane in another dimension or will it be a space in my mind?"
[It will be a completed physical plane. However, it will require a lot of energy from you to complete it.]
"That's good enough. Another question, will I be able to use some sort of a portal to invite non-yin-slaves into this plane?"
[Yes, but you must construct additional pylons and upgrade the [Isolation Training] before you can unlock the features.]
Being reminded about the upgrade, Cao Mao checked the upgrade conditions again.
Aside from the [Possess at least two primary element crystals], Cao Mao had completed everything.
Cao Mao rubbed his hands and took a deep breath. It was the time to check what the dao gods had given him. If he was lucky, he might have enough resources to condense two seas of Life Essence and obtain a second primary element within today.
