Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 17: Meeting Emily

It was a serious commitment that took many resources and time, except if the technique had a similar foundation.

And this didn't even count the work they needed to do to increase their cultivation realm, Alex thought as his lips curved into a smile.

Alex felt genuinely excited about the information because he knew it provided him with many possibilities.

The way people improved their realm was very different from what he was used to. It was a path filled with danger, and even the tribulations were not as he had imagined.

At the Foundation Stage, they began enhancing their bodies with various natural treasures and intense training.

This was all to ensure the body could hold qi inside without exploding.

Afterward, they started strengthening the qi inside their body, circulating it like blood flowing through their veins.

Step by step, they allowed it to penetrate their flesh, transforming it to become even stronger.

Those so-called geniuses and talented individuals were the ones who shortened the process of the early stages, significantly saving time and resources.

This was one of the reasons why marriage was very important in the Cultivation world.

People wanted their traits and strong bodies to be passed down to their offspring.

As the process continued, future descendants became increasingly stronger and mutated.

They then started categorizing mutations in their descendants' bodies as spiritual roots and bloodlines.

Marriage for love? That was a big joke.

What use was that when you could be dead?

In a world where one person could defeat ten thousand, strength was what mattered.

Emotional attachments all came second.

Of course, some still acted on their emotions, as humans were emotional beings regardless of the world. But most of them ended up with tragic ends.

The so-called tribulation they faced when becoming immortal was one they found themselves in because of breaking through. They needed to destroy and reconstruct their bodies using elemental qi.

This allowed them to become immortal.

The path after this was still unknown; some said the secret lay in cultivating the soul, but the method for doing so was also unclear.

Mingyue only knew a low technique for soul cultivation, one that allowed the use of qi to permeate their soul and strengthen it.

"Just what is this qi? Is it similar to mana?" Alex mumbled.

"If this is some type of different energy, it's going to be a problem.

I need to experiment first after getting the qi stone, comparing it to a mana crystal."

But first, Alex needed to prepare the items to be sent to Mingyue.

"Vesa, how large an item can you now send?"

[With my current power, this domain is still small in size, but it should be enough to transfer a small gun and a phone.]

[Well, if you can use a storage ring, this should make it possible to transfer many items at once.]

Alex agreed with Vesa.

If he could use the storage ring, it would indeed boost their growth rapidly, as the quantity of items they could send would increase exponentially.

He could simply buy a lot of good gear, armor, and weapons and then send it all to Mingyue's world.

The image of a bunch of commoners shooting at cultivators with machine guns and bazookas made him laugh.

"No matter if it's my world or the cultivation world, whaling is the way, hahaha."

He then spent the hour selecting the best novels he could think of for Mingyue to read.

He chose the fun ones filled with comedy, as well as those with silly plots.

He also loaded the phone with many games and included a few solar power banks to help her charge the phone later on.

As for weapons, Alex knew he needed his sister's help to get one.

It wasn't something a normal citizen like him could buy at will unless he went to the black market and bought them illegally.

The moon now hung in the sky as a silver sports car parked in an underground parking lot.

Alex got out and then rode the elevator straight up to the highest room, where his sister Emily lived.

Ding!

The elevator door opened, revealing a beautiful woman with golden hair sitting on the couch.

She turned her blue eyes to see Alex, her lips curving into a warm smile.

"You finally came," she said, her slender finger pointing to the couch.

Unlike Alex, who resembles their mother, Emily inherits her appearance from their father, Edward.

Both of them had blue eyes and golden hair.

Alex slumped down on the couch.

"Oh yeah, before I forget, I need a weapon.

One that can be shot with mana energy and the other with normal bullets.

Make it a handgun model, and don't forget the ammo."

Emily raised her eyebrow at Alex's request but didn't replace it strange.

Now that he would probably appear more in public, more self-defense tools would be good.

"Sure, I'll get it. But can you even use them?" Emily asked with a smirk.

She then continued, "You also need to get a bodyguard, brother.

Even though your name isn't on paper, we can't hide the relationship between us."

Alex knew his sister was right.

When they announced the guild establishment, they would quickly become front-page news.

He needed more safety measures. "I will look for some."

"You should recruit the old guild members who survived, especially Zold.

He has a lot of potential and is determined to look for his father," Emily suggested.

"Zold?" Alex asked.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're not familiar with the guild.

Zold is the son of our father's right-hand man, Silva. He's also looking for a way to enter the forbidden area.

Well, enough about that.

I'm sure Mom told you to recruit them anyway, right? I'll give you some information about them later."

Emily leaned forward, her eyes becoming serious. "Now, tell me about this new power system of yours."

"Before that, Emily, did any other power systems ever emerge before?"
