My Celestial Ascension

Once Miss Zara confirmed the method she was comfortable with, Yuan quickly retrieved a small yet beautiful pill bottle adorned with an intricate design around its neck.

‘What marvelous craftsmanship… that small bottle must be very expensive, with a unique effect,’ Miss Zara thought, raising her brows as her eyes landed on the pill bottle that appeared in Yuan’s hand as if by magic.

‘Is that the bottle that contains the specific pill to help me get rid of my Mana and my Mana Heart?’ Miss Zara wondered to herself.

Yuan then gently opened the bottle’s lid, and as soon as he did, the entire room filled with a sweet, aromatic scent that mesmerized everyone inside.

“What a pleasant smell… I’ve never smelled anything like this before. And, strangely, it’s making my head feel lighter…” Miss Zara murmured in a dazed voice, her eyes fixed on the pearl-sized pill in Yuan’s hand.

Valeria, Sylvia, and Mireya were also drawn to the pill’s fragrance, which was sweet and mellow, turning the room’s atmosphere tranquil. Inhaling the scent made them feel deeply relaxed, as though a heavy weight had been lifted from their shoulders.

With a gentle smile, Yuan looked at Miss Zara and said, “Miss Zara, before you swallow this pill, you should sit on the floor, just like Anna and the others did yesterday.”

Miss Zara nodded, then immediately sat cross-legged on the floor, looking to Yuan for further instructions. Having never done anything like this before, she was cautious, worried she might make a mistake without his guidance.

“Now take a deep breath, swallow the pill, and let it take effect.” Yuan handed her the Spirit Cleansing Pill.

Miss Zara accepted the pill, nodding before swallowing it, her feelings a mix of excitement and nervousness since none of them knew exactly how it would affect her.

“Is it working?” Lily asked Yuan, raising her eyebrows, concern evident in her gaze.

Little Zoe was also quiet, watching her mother undergo the process of removing her Mana, Mana Heart, and the Mana circuit through which energy flowed in her body, allowing her to cast spells.

“It’ll start working in a few seconds. Since she doesn’t have any Spiritual Energy in her body, it’s taking a bit longer to take effect,” Yuan replied, shaking his head.

‘What can I do to boost the pill’s effect? Should I channel my Spiritual Energy into her body little by little? I only need a small amount to kickstart its effect,’ Yuan thought, frowning as he observed Miss Zara’s meditative posture.

Yuan then sat behind Miss Zara, placing his palms against her back. Taking a deep breath, he began channeling his Spiritual Energy into her body, guiding it toward her abdomen.

‘I hope this method works. Otherwise, her only option may be dual cultivation with me,’ Yuan thought as he infused his Qi into her body.

Soon, Miss Zara felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, which gradually spread through her entire body.

‘This warmth… Does this mean the pill is beginning to work?’ Miss Zara wondered, her expression shifting to one of surprise as she sensed the sensation spreading.

A few seconds later, Miss Zara felt her mana leaving her body—a very strange sensation indeed—and shortly after, her Mana Heart also began to dissipate along with her Mana Circuit.

However, Miss Zara managed to remain calm, letting the pill’s natural properties take effect and cleanse every bit of mana from her body. Surprisingly, it wasn’t painful at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable.

‘Thankfully, the pill is working like a charm. I never thought Spirit Cleansing Pills could be used in such a way,’ Yuan thought with a sigh of relief, knowing the pill didn’t have any adverse effects on Miss Zara.

Anna and the others also relaxed upon sensing that the pill had taken effect, and they could detect a small flame of Spiritual Energy forming in Miss Zara’s abdomen.

“Will Mom be alright?” Little Zoe asked Yuan, a worried look on her face, as she couldn’t sense what was happening to her mother’s body.

Yuan smiled at the little girl and pulled her into his arms before saying, “Don’t worry. Your mom is fine, and she’ll be able to learn a cultivation technique soon.”

“Really?” Little Zoe looked at him skeptically.

“Have I ever lied to you?” Yuan asked with a smile.

Little Zoe didn’t reply but turned her attention back to her mother, who was beginning to sweat heavily. A pungent smell filled the air as a small amount of impurities were expelled through her pores along with the sweat.

Although Spirit Cleansing Pills typically don’t remove impurities from a cultivator’s body, it was different for Miss Zara, who was still a mortal without any cultivation.

“I didn’t expect her to release impurities along with her sweat… This is quite a surprise,” Yuan murmured in a surprised tone. With a wave of his sleeve, the pungent smell vanished from the room as a small gust of wind swept through.

Moments later, Miss Zara opened her eyes, and a smile spread across her face as she realized she could no longer feel any mana within her body. She couldn’t even sense the mana in the air, as though she had lost the ability to perceive it altogether.

Since Miss Zara was completely drenched in sweat, her clothing had become transparent, allowing Yuan and the others to catch a glimpse of her figure beneath the damp fabric.

‘Despite having given birth to Little Zoe, I have to say she has a beautiful figure that would captivate anyone,’ Yuan thought inwardly, before shaking his head with a slightly embarrassed smile.

He couldn’t deny the attraction he felt at seeing her like this. After all, he did have a deep affection for his wives.

“Congratulations, Miss Zara! You’re now ready to become a cultivator—all you need is a good cultivation technique!” Anna exclaimed, smiling warmly and opening her arms to her in congratulations.

Miss Zara nodded with a smile, though her gaze soon fell to her chest. Realizing her clothes had turned transparent from the sweat, she blushed and quickly covered her chest with one hand, using her other hand to cover her lower body.

“I-I… I’ll go take a quick bath…” Miss Zara stammered, her face bright red, before rushing out of the room with surprising speed, leaving everyone shocked.

Bam!

They heard the sound of a door slamming as Miss Zara disappeared from sight. Even Little Zoe was surprised by her mother’s sudden departure.

‘Why did she suddenly run away? Did she… pee her pants?’ Little Zoe wondered, her face filled with confusion.

“Well… I never expected Miss Zara to be so shy. That was surprising…” Emma murmured, still dazed.

“This is unexpected for me, too…” Lily added, looking equally speechless.

While Miss Zara took a bath, Yuan began searching through all the cultivation techniques in his System Storage to find one that would suit her best. After about half an hour, he finally selected a technique he believed would be perfect for her. Like the cultivation techniques he’d given his other wives, this one was also a Divine Rank technique.

‘This technique will definitely suit Miss Zara… It’s incredible, and with it, her cultivation speed will be remarkably fast,’ Yuan thought, a smile on his face. But then, thinking about Miss Zara, he couldn’t help recalling her graceful figure and blushed slightly. Though not as perfectly shaped as his wives’, it still made him smile.

“Is that the cultivation technique you’ve decided to give Miss Zara?” Valeria asked, noticing the technique appear in his hand out of thin air.

“Yes, it’s for her. You can take a look if you’re curious.” Yuan said, handing her the technique.

Valeria examined it for a moment before returning it to him.

Nearly half an hour later, Miss Zara returned to the private room in a fresh set of clothes, looking more refined than before—perhaps due to the impurities she’d released.

“I hope I didn’t take too long…” she said shyly, taking a seat beside her daughter and hugging her with a gentle smile.

“By the way, what was that slightly muddy, sticky liquid on my skin? It smelled so strong that I had to spend extra time cleaning up,” Miss Zara asked, curiosity clear in her eyes.

“Those were impurities expelled from your body along with your sweat. Don’t worry; it’s actually good for your health,” Yuan said, smiling reassuringly before handing her the cultivation technique.

“This is the cultivation technique I’ve chosen for you. It should be a perfect fit,” he added.

“Thank you,” Miss Zara replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she looked at the technique in her hands.

“So, I just have to learn this technique, and then I’ll be able to cultivate, right?” she asked, her hands trembling slightly with excitement, her expression almost childlike with anticipation.

Yuan and his wives spent the next few hours explaining essential aspects of cultivation to Miss Zara and Little Zoe, ensuring they wouldn’t make mistakes during their first attempts to absorb Spiritual Energy from their surroundings.

Afterward, Miss Zara sat on the floor in a lotus position, reading the cultivation technique with a look of determination, her full focus on each detail. She continued to study the technique for several hours, reading and rereading, and as she repeated the process, her understanding of the technique deepened.

Then, without realizing it, she closed her eyes and entered a trance-like state. Moments later, her body became surrounded by a profound golden aura—a mysterious and awe-inspiring sight.

Little Zoe watched in amazement at the phenomenon surrounding her mother, wondering if the same thing had happened to her when she first comprehended a cultivation technique.

After several minutes, Miss Zara opened her eyes, smiling at everyone, though there was a hint of surprise in her expression.

‘What an incredible technique… Its complexity is far more advanced and mysterious compared to the Mana Circulation method I used before…’ Miss Zara thought, marveling at her newfound insight.
