Chapter 142 - Soul Enhancing Pill
When morning arrived, Leon woke up like a human clock. Despite being very active last night with little sleep, he felt great.
Seeing the two cuties nestling soundly in his embrace like little kittens, he planted a kiss of each of their foreheads.
Leon left the sleeping beauties and don his clothes, before heading out of the room.
"What orders do you have for this servant, your highness?" A palace maid was summoned, before asking.
The air around Leon had a slight change as the confidence he exuded was stronger after one night.
"Have someone prepare three portions of breakfast for me." Leon ordered.
"I will have it done at once, your highness."
The palace maid left quickly and Leon had some spare time to ponder some things.
"It's surprising, how quickly the two girls have grown without much resources and guidance. They aren't much slower than me, despite my consumption of resources to aid my cultivation. Is this what it means to be a jack of all trades, master of none?" Leon thought amusingly.
He didn't actually think as such. He had just discovered last night that both his girls possess Divine Bodies.
Special Physiques were acquirable body constitutions and were quite easily discovered from a knowledgeable doctor's diagnosis.
However, Divine Bodies were latent and harder to discover. Before they awaken, even Leon would not be able to tell if someone had them. It was precisely the Divine Body that appeared on Lynne and Aria. One had the Ice Phoenix Divine Body and the other had the Storm Luan Divine Body.
Divine Bodies were blessed by the heavens and every possessor of a Divine Body had what it takes to become a powerhouse in the Divine Realm, which explains why they weren't falling behind much in their cultivation.
Divine Bodies were great, but his Special Physique, the Five Element Body wasn't inferior either.
"As expected, the Lightningseed was also formed, huh?" Leon inspect himself and mused. 'Now, I have 4 elemental seeds of fire, ice, metal and lightning. Ice can be attributed to being a being a part of water, thus making it one of the 5 five elements. Lightning on the other hand, is not."
"That confirms it. The Five Element Body served as the foundation for the five elements, but it is not limited to only the five elements. This means, I can acquire much more elements and it shouldn't affect my cultivation either."
This made sense to him. He was practicing the [Hegemon of Primal Chaos] after all and not the [Hegemon of the Five Elements]. The Primal Chaos encompasses everything and the name could be interpreted as being the ruler of the universe or the lord of everything. It was indeed a domineering name.
Half an hour later, three different palace maids brought a portion of breakfast on each tray.
"Y-Your breakfast, your highness." The Palace maid blushed and almost dropped the breakfast tray.
Stopping the food from dropping, Leon asked, "What is your name? Are you all new here?"
"This maid's humble name is Emma. We just began maid training this morning, your highness. Thank you for saving us." Emma responded nervously, before apologizing, "Please punish this maid for her mistake."
Since the food wasn't spilt, he wasn't going to punish her. However, he was bewildered by their gratitude. "Thank you for saving you?"
"We were part of the young ladies that were almost sold as slaves to the nobles in the underground auction." Emma explained.
"I see, but this is already the second day, no? Were you unable to reunite with your families?" Leon asked with puzzlement.
"Thank you for your concern, your highness. We were able to reunite with our families, however we still decided to serve the palace to repay your highness's saving grace." Emma and the two palace maids blushed and began to furtive glances at him.
Leon pretended not to notice and nodded in understanding, "I see. Goodluck with your training then and try not to make anymore mistakes. The rules of the palace are strict and punishments are not light. You can place the food on the table inside, before leaving."
"Yes, your highness." They answered.
The maids closed the door on the way out, after they were done as told.
Leon sat the stool and gazed at his beauties sleep with glowing red complexions. "Alright, stop pretending. It's time for lunch."
When he said this, their complexion grew a shade redder. They had only met for a day and bonded pretty well, but only enough to change clothes together. They weren't ready to share the same bed and could only stubbornly keep their eyes shut to avoid the awkwardness.
"It seems you both need discipline." Leon smile mischievously at their stubbornness. He used his heavenly massage on them, forcing their faces to turn red like a tomato.
"Mmm~" A muffled moan escaped Lynne's tiny mouth and her cheeks began boiling hot. Leon grinned, "Still pretending? Let's see how long you can pretend."
He began attacking their soft mounds. They continue to persist for five minutes stubbornly, before Lynne was first to be defeated by the pleasure. "Ahh~~"
Feeling like a body of soft cotton, Lynne panted and eyed him with an aggrieved and seductive expression. "So hateful."
"One down." Leon smirked and began to focus his attack on Aria. Sweet began oozing from her forehead as her eyes remain shut tight with a cute expression.
It didn't take long before Aria also defeated by the pleasure, before eyeing daggers at him with a lovely expression.
"Alright, get up for breakfast." Leon said, but he was quickly pulled onto the bed. Aria and Lynne looked at him with passionate gazes. He smiled wryly at the result of his own work. "Maybe after a few rounds."
The two refused to roll in bed together, but each fought a round with Leon, before they finally sat by the breakfast table, albeit reluctantly.
"You're both one step closer to being true sisters." Leon said over breakfast.
"Go die!" Lynne reacted strongly with a crimson shade, before Leon erupted into laughter.
The meal ended quietly and they left to do they own things. Leon shook his head as he thought it would take much work before they completely open up to each other, but there's no rush. They only just met. There were plenty of chances in the future.
Even in his previous life, he had yet to experience 3P. Counting back from his first intimate experience with Lynne, it's been about 25 years since his last intimate session with a woman.
It wasn't strange for him have a sense of unfamiliarity with women from the long years of abstinence, especially when the character of his present life had been a true virgin up until that point.
Being reminded of his dual personality, Leon's smile disappeared and decided to enter the Whitespace for related knowledge.
There's always been something off about his reincarnation, or rather transmigration.
It wasn't normal for a transmigrated person to have two personalities.
Usually it would be one life inheriting the memories of the other life, without much change in character, except for becoming more knowledgeable.
But for him, he was like two people sharing one mind; one is experienced but cowardly, while the other is inexperienced but mature meshed together. Highly complicated.
The best way to put it would be, having two exact souls overlapping each other. How can there be two exact souls to begin with?
Unless he transmigrated into his parallel self in an alternate universe. The idea was ridiculous, but that was the only possibility he could think of
Forget about whether his enemies would even know he is their enemies in this universe. They might not even be the Divine King they were in his original universe.
How was he supposed to take revenge then? Just kill off their parallel self before finding his way into his original universe? He doesn't know if that was even possible!
All other problems aside, he should first solve his twin soul problem.
After browsing through the library in the Whitespace, he came across a pill recipe which seems to address his problem; the Soul Convergence Divine Pill, a Tier-1 Divine Pill. He might as well wring his own neck.
Leon sighed as he continued to browse for other useful pills, he came across an interesting pill, the Soul Enhancing Pill.
It could strengthen his soul. With a sufficiently strong soul, it could suppose the usage of his divine sense outside his body for extended and wider periods.
"Interesting, this should be a cultivation-related pill, no? How does it relate to medicine?"
After further browsing, he found his answer. There were rare illnesses that causes the soul to slowly shrink and disperse. Although the Soul Enhancing Pill can't cure the illness, it can delay it.
Looking at the materials for the Tier-1 Soul Enhancing Pill, it had 12 common supplementary ingredients and 2 yin-attribute core ingredient that he doesn't have.
Leon smiled bitterly at the lack of herbs. It seems he must make a person trip to the Extreme Misty Forest to look.
Before that, he should check with the Merchant Associations. The bulk of the Four Great Family's money was on him, while the material goods and treasures were left for the gang.
"You called, your highness?" A summoned maid, asked.
Leon wrote down the two missing spirit herbs on paper and passed it to the maid, "Send someone to check if the Merchant Associations has these two herbs. If there's a price, buy it. Money is not an issue."
"I'll have it done right away, your highness." The palace maid affirmed.
Leon nodded.
Half an hour later, the maid returned. "Your highness, the Lucretius Merchant Association has one of the herbs you seek, but…"
"But what?" Leon frowned.
"They said we have to state why we want the herb, or else they won't sell it."
"Did you tell them; I was looking for them?"
"Yes, your highness."
"Ridiculous. Since when do merchants pry into their customer's secrets? They didn't even give face to the royal family?" Leon said with faint anger. "They could just say they don't have, if they don't want to sell."
This Lucretius Merchant Association was clearly asking for trouble. How arrogant!
