Chương 165: Bone marrow

Another year passed, while Weili conducted another training exercise at the edge of the White Sands desert, forcing the new Soldiers to survive against harsh weather, poisonous insects and snakes, and skirmishing against caravan bandits and several demonic sects hidden in the vast desert. Luoli climbed three levels in the Great Sage realm, while I barely got one more, showing why knowledge and a Sacred Body mattered so much.

On the other hand, the Million Flowers gained three new Sages and another Great Sage with my milk, as Autumn Rain took to my sword lessons like a fish in an ocean, aided by body cultivation pills and several Tier 6 pills at Supreme-grade. I wasn't yet able to make pure-grade pills in either Tier 5 or Tier 6, but I was getting closer. The muscle and bone tempering pills were easy to make already, and only the marrow tempering pill remained a problem.

As always, Alchemy was very hard, especially when trying to invent a new type of pill. Pef was a hacker not a doctor, and Tian had no business touching an Alchemy cauldron. I learned as much as I could, but the Purple Empress knowledge wasn't of much help in this. On the other petal, my little lotus benefited quite a lot from my increase in cultivation and soul power, growing five new lapis lazuli petals, and showing signs of ascending towards the Saint King realm of plants, which was still only at Tier 6.

One or two more petals, and my lotus will get there. A dozen new armies were being assembled as more Tier 5 equipment was being made or bought from crafting sects, with the recruits required to be a late-stage of Soul Transformation at the minimum. That's not to say that the Flower Societies ignored the developments and didn't start to prepare as well. They just did it in-house so to speak. There were plenty Body Integration disciples among the Flowers, enough to fill hundreds of armies.

But since I only asked for volunteers, and didn't go overboard with rewards and resources for the Soldiers, there weren't many volunteers, eager to get cut, stabbed and poisoned in harsh environments. There were some, since adventure and heroism wasn't exclusive to men, but much fewer than for example in a Sword Sect. I flew by the training grounds at the edge of the sect, watching the Saints struggling to manage their herds of disorganized cats. Because armies, they were not. Not yet.

Snowdrop and White Lily flew at my sides, watching the debacle with cold eyes.

"Husband, I apologize for the mess. If this was Asgard, discipline wouldn't be a problem. And fighting skills too." Snowdrop said in a soft voice, like snow falling on a grave. I patted her plump ass.

"It's fine, little Snow. Armies are not forged in a day, or even in a year. It takes practice, just like any other craft. You think Alchemy can be learned in a single year?" I answered in a wise sage voice. White Lily took my hand in hers, and sighed.

"Master is right, however. We suck." she admitted with a faint smile. My dick twitched at her obvious hint.

"These are the levy armies anyway. I'm certain the Societies have a surprise for me. Elite Soldiers, perhaps..." I mused in a low voice and turned to leave. Snowdrop wrapped me and Lily in her Snow Domain, and we appeared inside her Snow Pagoda, where four other disciples with cold-related Sacred Bodies were housed.

"Stay a while and enjoy our hospitality, husband. The new disciples also want to meet you." Snowdrop whispered with a nod towards the white-haired fairies, and white not of old age, but due to their special bodies. Four pretty women in Nascent Soul realm ran to line up in front of me, then bowed low, showing off their breasts as their robes accidentally opened a bit too wide.

"Young Sisters, this is Pef Tian, our Fairy Doctor. You are only here now because he asked our Dao King to explore your home continents and rescue the women with talent. Not to mention, the pills you have enjoyed came from him as well. Let's welcome him properly into our home." White Lily proclaimed in a seductive voice, while massaging my dick in front of the virgin fairies.

"Is it true you're only 20 years old, Great Doctor?" a white-haired beauty asked while kneeling in front of my groin. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"No. I already turned 21 years old. Soon I'll be 22. And I am barely in the 3rd level of Great Sage realm. Still have a long way ahead." I answered humbly. The four fairies blushed in tandem, and joined the kneeling stance in front of my dick, now flying free since White Lily drew my pants down. The 9 inches of naked dick stood hard and proud in front of their flushed faces.

"Cai Hong, you go first and lick our doctor's dick. Senhue, you take the balls." White Lily enticed her younger sisters, and soon my dick and balls were being worshiped like holy relics. Snowdrop wrapped her body around my back, and kissed my neck.

"You wanted a surprise, husband?" she whispered on my neck, leaving snowflakes on my skin. It was indeed a nice surprise. The rescued women seemed quite willing as well. Using my new domain, I lifted a third woman and brought her pure spring to my mouth, eating her pure Yin like a frost cake. From here, things heated up rapidly, especially with the help of my Yin-Yang Formation.

A few hours later, two of the new disciples had already gained enough Dao insight to ascend into Soul Transformation, and were sent away by Snowdrop into a sealed room to continue their cultivation. But after that, she turned on the Formation again, and we continued our medical work for 8 more hours, until the last two fairies gained enough insight via milk to ascend. It was hard work, but I enjoyed it too.

White Lily rested her head in my lap and suckled gently on my balls, and Snowdrop held my head between her breasts.

"Such an impossible man. If Asgard were to learn about you, you might never walk again, just be kept in bed all day long." she mused with a worried voice. Snow was right, but for the wrong reason.

"We just have to wait for Luoli to reach Dao King realm. Asgard won't be a problem anymore."

"You say that, but I've seen 21 Dao Kings among the Asgard Elders. And they might have more, in closed cultivation or exploring secret realms." Snow said still wary. Asgard might not have a Quasi Emperor, but they did have the most Dao Kings in any sect. Even the Mist Valley with their powerful Alchemists only had a dozen Dao Kings. Asgard had twice as many, making their sect a superpower in the cultivation world.

"I am not doubting their strength, my sweet Snow. The problem is the source of that strength. When Luoli created the Asgard Hall, she used a Tier 8 Formation to do it. I have only a small idea what Tier 8 Formations can do, especially when crafted by a Grandmaster with an obsession. You're a Dao King too, and are still influenced by my Yin-Yang Formation." I pointed out with a tired voice. Most of my milk was drained, since I did visit my wives in the morning to help their healing and cultivation.

I barely had 7 doses left. White Lily took my dick in her gentle mouth and began sucking out the remaining milk, and achieving her goal at the sixth dose, gaining a Sage level a few thousand years too soon. Lily patted my balls like putting a child to sleep, and went to make tea, her naked ass swaying side to side.

"Lily is so pretty, right? We need to make her a Dao King too." Snowdrop said with a loving voice, and began rubbing her soft feet on my dick, until the last drop of milk bathed her feet with white love. It was a bit of a waste, but also not. Lily served me a cup of tea, then began licking the spilled milk, and making a show from it too. Wait! Milk had B vitamins too. And my milk was especially potent. Could it work in cleansing and tempering the marrow too? I had a hint it might. Now let's test that.

I collected some of my milk from Snowdrop's leg and flew back to my Alchemy room, and began my routine of rubbing hands and praising the cauldron for its future success. Then I began adding Tier 5 turkey liver, some spirit herbs to help the pill form smoother and lastly a few drops of lotus milk, and began refining the new pill. A few minutes later, three low-grade pills emerged from my cauldron. A failure, but why?

I thought for a moment, then realized I lacked a sympathetic link to the target, being the bone marrow. Thus, I began again, adding some bone marrow from the same Tier 5 Bald Mountain Turkey. And no, the turkey wasn't bald, but the mountain was, lacking trees near its summit. I didn't name the damn bird! Three high-grade pills and a single Supreme-grade Tier 5 Marrow Tempering pill. Thank you, Heavens! Was it so hard? Just print the damn recipes somewhere!

Nevermind, you couldn't print a recipe that wasn't invented yet. My bad. I glared at the new pill for a minute then ate it. Yes, it had my milk in it, but I've eaten far worse stuff. A single pill was not enough to raise my body cultivation realm, but I had a cauldron and the skill to use it. An hour later, I stopped failing and making high-grade pills, and just opened the Tier 7 cauldron to find 5 brand new Supreme-grade pills.

"You will get washed by a pair of virgin feet tomorrow, Brother Seven! Good job!" I congratulated my dear cauldron for a job well done, and went to take a hot bath. Who said Alchemy was hard? It just took hard work and inspiration! I relaxed in the bubbling water with my new body cultivation realm, and began thinking about Tier 6 pills. Those would be a game changer indeed. Immunity from Tier 5 weapons was a massive advantage in a war, especially if the war was carried out by poorly trained Flowers.

Yes, a demonic Saint would still wreak havoc to such a low realm army, but that would happen no matter the training. Perhaps add a second-in-command Saint to each army? Someone specialized in duels, of course. The army commander had to focus on leading the army, not fighting random duels and losing sight of the bigger picture. I will need to raise more Saints, and train their duelists, but I wouldn't mind doing that. Beating weak women was always a pleasure.
