My Celestial Ascension

Shortly after, Nora’s voice resonated in his mind. [Host, I’ve discovered a suitable cultivation technique for Rose. It’s a Peak Heaven Grade technique, and its price is relatively low. It complements her physique well.]

Yuan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, particularly because he was on a tight budget for Rose’s cultivation technique. With limited SP at his disposal, he needed to make thoughtful choices, especially since he hadn’t encountered any missions to earn additional SP.

‘Even though Nora says it’s affordable, I bet it’ll still cost over 60 SP, given its Peak Heaven Grade. Even a Low-quality Heaven Grade technique is nearly 60 SP; a Peak-grade one can’t be considered cheap,’ Yuan ruminated with a sigh.

“How much does this technique cost?” Yuan queried Nora mentally, prompting a translucent screen to materialize before his eyes.

[Sunfire Body Sculpting]

[Rank: Heaven]

[Quality: Peak]

[Description: The Sunfire Body Sculpting manual focuses on refining the body to resonate with solar energy.]

[Price: 80 SP]

‘As I suspected, not cheap… Sigh! Yet, the technique is formidable; should Rose adopt it, her power could burgeon in a short span,’ Yuan mused silently, inspecting the technique’s description.

[Would you like to purchase the Sunfire Body Sculpting for 80 SP?]

[Yes/No]

“Alright, I’ll purchase it,” Yuan replied promptly, albeit with a sheepish smile.

[Ding! You’ve successfully purchased the Sunfire Body Sculpting manual for 80 SP! The technique has been stored in the system storage!]

After securing the technique, Yuan directed a smile towards Rose. He was genuinely eager to offer her this cultivation method, enabling her to embark on her journey as a cultivator.

However, amidst his eagerness, Yuan couldn’t dismiss his concerns. Rose’s physique was in a semi-awakened state, and fully awakening it bore risks. The extent of her success depended on her willpower, and Yuan was anxious for her safety. If her will faltered, she could encounter backlash, complicating her future cultivation endeavors.

Observing Yuan’s focused gaze, Rose flushed slightly under his scrutiny. She was curious about his intent; there had to be a reason for his captivating smile.

A minute later, her blush evident, Rose addressed Yuan, “Why are you looking at me like that, Yuan? It’s making me blush.”

He responded with an affectionate grin, “It’s simply because you’re so stunning that I can’t help but keep my eyes on you, my dear.”

Amused chuckles escaped Anna, Grace, Emma, Lily, and Xi Meili at Yuan’s playful words. In agreement, they acknowledged Rose’s undeniable beauty, especially after her dual cultivation with Yuan, which had left her skin smoother and more radiant.

“Thank you, Yuan…” Rose responded with shyness, a warm feeling coursing through her upon receiving the compliment.

“Speaking of which, Rose, I’ve found a suitable cultivation technique for you,” Yuan announced, his smile still present.

“Really?!” Rose’s excitement was palpable, her eyes brightening considerably.

‘Finally, the time has come for me to embark on my cultivation journey and become a cultivator like Yuan and the sisters. I can’t contain my excitement!’ Rose’s thoughts raced with enthusiasm.

From the moment Yuan introduced her to the concept of cultivation and the mystical energy that pervaded the atmosphere, Rose had been captivated. She yearned to become a cultivator like Yuan, driven by both fascination and eagerness.

Observing Rose’s fervor for cultivation, Yuan and his wives couldn’t help but be amused. Her enthusiasm resembled that of a child who had just received her long-desired toy.

“Of course, here’s the cultivation technique I’ve chosen for you, Rose,” Yuan said, producing the technique he had recently acquired from the system store and presenting it to her. .𝘯𝘵

‘Is this really a cultivation technique?’ Rose’s internal voice pondered as she accepted the technique from Yuan. Her eyes widened in astonishment as she gazed at it.

The technique exuded a subtle golden radiance, and an inexplicable comfort enveloped her, as if a mysterious connection existed between her and the technique.

“How does it feel? Do you like it?” Yuan inquired, his smile tinged with amusement.

“I love it. There’s something about it that makes me feel connected, although I can’t quite explain why,” Rose admitted with a grin.

“You remember how we felt when we first received our cultivation techniques from Darling, right?” Grace chimed in suddenly, addressing Anna and Emma.

“Absolutely. Although, don’t forget, we were on our deathbeds at the time. If it weren’t for Yuan, we wouldn’t have survived,” Anna responded with a nostalgic smile, seemingly lost in her thoughts.

“Hmph! I was the only one left without a cultivation technique at that moment. Both Mom and Emma had the privilege of receiving their techniques together,” Lily huffed playfully.

“Dear sister, I didn’t bestow your technique upon you at that point because you weren’t in a position to cultivate. We had to undergo dual cultivation to expel your mana, enabling you to absorb spiritual energy effectively,” Yuan explained, shaking his head at Lily’s playful protest.

A minute later, Anna’s gaze shifted to Rose, her tone gentle as she inquired, “Rose, now that you’ve received your cultivation technique, would you like to begin your cultivation right away, or would you prefer to wait? Keep in mind that before you start cultivating, you need to familiarize yourself with the technique, which might take over an hour to grasp.”

“That long?” Rose’s surprise was evident; comprehending a cultivation technique seemed to be a more intricate process than she had initially assumed.

“Don’t be disheartened. Just concentrate on learning the technique, and time will pass quicker than you realize,” Anna reassured her with a comforting smile, offering encouragement.

‘I won’t even realize it? What does she mean?’ Rose pondered inquisitively, intrigued by Anna’s enigmatic assurance.

A moment later, Rose inquired of Yuan, “So, how do I start learning the technique? Are there any specific requirements?”

“Well, there’s no particular prerequisite for you to learn the technique, except for sitting with your legs crossed, in what we call the lotus position. This posture enhances the flow of spiritual energy in our bodies, making it smoother, while calming the mind, which is essential for cultivation,” Yuan explained to Rose.

“I understand now… So all I have to do is sit on the floor with my legs crossed and attempt to comprehend the technique, much like reading an ordinary book, right?” Rose said, looking at Yuan for confirmation.

“That’s how it works. You might not fully grasp the technique on your first try, but with persistence and repeated attempts, you will eventually learn it,” Yuan reassured her with a smile.

“Alright, I won’t give up until I’ve mastered the technique,” Rose declared, determination shining in her smile.

“That’s the spirit, Rose! Give it your all!” Grace chimed in, her usual composed expression softening slightly.

“Exactly. Give it your best, and don’t be disheartened if you don’t get it on your first attempt. But I have a feeling you’ll catch on quickly,” Anna added, nodding in agreement with Grace.

Rose felt a warm sense of support from her new sisters, which eased her nerves and made her happy. She was glad to know they embraced her and wished her success.

‘I’m truly fortunate to have such a supportive new family…’ Rose thought gratefully.

A few moments later, Rose situated herself on the floor in a lotus position and opened the cultivation technique Yuan had given her. She embarked on the journey of comprehending the technique.

Initially, the contents of the technique appeared as unintelligible gibberish to her, with unfamiliar terms and symbols that left her bewildered.

As minutes passed, Rose wrestled with the technique’s content, but understanding remained elusive.

With time ticking away, Rose, immersed in her studies, unconsciously closed her eyes. Strangely, the characters on the technique seemed to align themselves, becoming more coherent, and she started to decipher some of the words and concepts.

“It seems she’s already making progress with the technique,” Yuan whispered as he watched Rose’s eyelids gradually close.

“It’s not even been an hour, and she’s showing remarkable potential,” Emma murmured softly, careful not to disrupt Rose’s focus.

“How could she not have talent? She managed to capture our darling’s heart after all,” Grace said with a mischievous grin, her eyes dancing with humor.

“True! A woman without talent couldn’t have caught dear’s attention. And I agree, there’s something about her that’s intriguing, but I can’t quite put my finger on it,” Anna mused thoughtfully.

“I’m with you on that. There’s a certain air of mystery surrounding Rose,” Lily added, nodding in agreement.

“Well, you’re all right. Rose possesses a unique physique known as the Solar Radiant Body. It’s no wonder you find her mysterious,” Yuan explained.

“I see… So she also possesses a special physique,” Lily exclaimed in realization.

Unaware of the conversation unfolding around her, Rose continued her efforts to comprehend the technique.

Meanwhile, Madam Layla was engrossed in reviewing a stack of papers requiring her signature to further develop the village. Ava was assisting her, handing over essential documents.

“Mom, did you notice that big sis looks quite different today? I can’t quite put my finger on it,” Ava ventured, presenting another important file.

“I didn’t expect you to notice that,” Madam Layla responded without taking her eyes off the documents, her pen gliding over the paper.

“So, you were already aware—” Ava’s words were cut off by an unexpected roar from outside.

“MONROE FAMILY!! COME OUT AND ACCOUNT FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!”
