Inside the room, Eloise poured wine for Lucian and listened to him recount his experiences after entering the Cultivation World.
Lucian was still refining the ring as he talked.
The more she listened, her yearning for the Cultivation World grew stronger.
"Even if you take me there, with my low talent for cultivation, I'll only be a burden," she sighed when he finished.
Lucian laughed, "Don't worry, I'll help you change your fate."
But looking at her Status Panel, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Her talent was indeed too low.

With her aptitude, it was indeed a waste of resources. They were all very ordinary.
If it wasn't for Lucian, she could've never changed her fate.
After reading the descriptions, among her innate Fates, Lucian chose to upgrade Body of Wood.
Not to mention, it was directly related to her affinity, upgrading it should increase her talent significantly.
Taking a sip of wine, Lucian spoke gently, "Come here and sit on my lap."
Eris smiled seductively and moved gracefully towards him and sat down as he held her waist tightly, pulling her closer.
"Now stay still," he spoke gently while his right hand went between her thighs and began to rub cunt over her panties.
Rub! Rub~ squish~
"Aghh! If-if you want to touch me, there's no need to... mpmm... take such a roundabout way," she moaned with pleasure.
Lucian chuckled as he felt her get wet so quickly through her panties.
He set down the wine glass and waved his hand, taking out a red peach and presenting it to her.
Simultaneously, his fingers slipped her panties aside and began to scratch her clit with his nail.
Flick~ slick~ flick~
"Here, eat this."
"Ah! T-this is?!" She asked through her moans.
"This is a Heavenly treasure. After eating it, your physique should change."
Lucian stopped teasing her and told her to calm her mind before eating it.

She immediately gave him a deep smooch and took the fruit and moved to the side.
He also took out thousands of low-grade Spirit Stones and arranged them in a circle.
"These must be the Spirit Stones, right?" Eloise asked in curiosity, looking at the beautiful stones.
"Hmm. During the transformation, your physique will need Spiritual Energy to transform. As this place doesn't have any, these will help you," he replied.
She didn't ask any further. With a few bites, she ate it and closed her eyes to meditate.
At this moment, Lucian directly used 1110 Fate Points to upgrade it to purple!

[1110 Fate Points have been successfully used]
[Fate Points]: 1845

After five breaths of time, her body suddenly trembled slightly, and then her body voraciously began to absorb the Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones.
After confirming there wasn't any problem, he stopped paying her any attention. His focus returned to the ring since he had now established a connection with it.
Lucian expected it to be a high rank Space Ring, but now seeing the space inside, he was stunned!
The space within the ring was five miles wide and long!
However, the entire space was empty except for one head-sized glowing stone with runes on its surface and four palm-sized jade slips.
"What? That's it?" Lucian felt very disappointed when he saw what was inside.
He could only try to comfort himself by thinking that this mysterious stone and these jade slips must be very precious.
Sighing deeply, he then took out a jade slip and scanned it with his Qi Sense.
A Cultivation Technique's name flooded into his mind: [Nine Heavens Emperor Physique].
"Hmm? This is..." Lucian's eyes flickered as he read the details of the technique.
This was a Body Cultivation Technique. It had no specific rank mentioned, but given that it could cultivate nine different Supreme Physiques, he assumed it must be very high rank!
"Not bad." A grin appeared on his face as he placed the jade slip back into the ring and inspected the others.
However, this second jade slip had a restriction that reflected his Qi Sense!
Lucian didn't press further, as he could always try again later. So after placing it back, he took out the third jade slip.
However as soon as his Qi Sense merged with it, he found himself in a vast white space!
In front of him, a figure slowly materialized!
This was a tall woman with crimson long hair, wearing long blue robes with cloud patterns.
Even though she was dressed modestly, her robes could not conceal her flawless hourglass figure.
He felt a deep yearning the moment he saw her.
Her face was obscured by a white mist of clouds, so he couldn't see it clearly.
Yet, he was sure that she must be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen!
At this moment, in an extremely gentle voice, she spoke to him.
"If you are seeing this, it means you have already embarked on the path of cultivation," she spoke, her voice like gentle rain falling on lotus leaves, "I don't know what last name that mortal used to raise you with, but your full name is... Lucian Bloodveil."
She paused, then spoke with deep longing, "You are probably wondering who I am, aren't you? Well, I'm your mother."
Then her voice turned sorrowful, "I'm sorry I couldn't watch you grow up. I was helpless, and leaving you here was the only choice I had."
"I can't tell you the reason as they would surely find you through Cause and Effect. And this was also the reason I've hidden my face."
Slowly her figure began to distort, flickering like a candle flame in the wind.
He subconsciously moved forward, trying to touch her figure, but his fingers only passed through the illusory body!
She said again, her voice growing fainter, "That glowing stone is an Eight-rank Spirit Vein, it should have enough Spiritual Energy to help in your Cultivation. And I've also left behind three Heaven Grade Techniques.
Stay safe, my dear..."
At this moment, her figure completely vanished, and Lucian's consciousness was violently pulled out from the jade slip.
The jade slip cracked, then turned into dust, which scattered between his fingers before dissipating completely.
Lucian sat there, his expression dazed, his mind still replaying his mother's words over and over again.
As the sun began to set, dark clouds gathered outside, casting long shadows across the palace room. The distant rumble of thunder echoed his turbulent emotions.
"Mother..." he whispered softly.
For years, he had wondered about his origins, and now he finally had confirmation that his mother was a powerful cultivator beyond his comprehension.
After a long while, Lucian finally regained his composure.
He shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't think further as if they meant to meet, fate would arrange it. Dwelling on matters beyond his control would only hinder his cultivation.
Adjusting his emotions, he took out the last jade slip. Unlike the previous one, this slip accepted his Qi Sense immediately, flooding his mind with knowledge.
It was actually a movement technique called [Limitless Freedom Steps].
With one step, one could cross a small continent!
"Interesting…" He also felt studying this technique would increase his comprehension of space.
Then he took out the ring's final item – an adult human head-sized glowing stone covered in mysterious runes that emitted waves of pure Spiritual Energy, distorting the air around it slightly.
This was the first time Lucian saw a Spirit Vein.
Each Spirit Stones Mine had one Spirit Vein at the core. Taking it out would cause the entire mine to collapse, though one could replant it and eventually a new Spirit Stone mine would form.
The Azure Sword Sect had only one Second-grade Spirit Mine which produced nearly 10 mid-grade Spirit Stones per month. This was already considered a great fortune for a small sect like theirs. So Lucian couldn't imagine the value of this item his mother had left him.
Just as he circulated his Cultivation Technique, a massive amount of Spiritual Energy entered his body, invigorating his spirit.
At the moment, he suddenly turned his head as a unique aura of life burst forth.
Eloise was sitting cross-legged, her body surrounded by a faint green aura. The low-grade Spirit Stones around her had already turned to dust, completely drained of their Spiritual Energy.
Her Innate Fate Body of Wood had evolved into Mystic World Tree Physique!

Looking at her new Purple Innate Fate, he clicked his tongue in wonder. The transformation was far more profound than he had anticipated.
Eloise's cultivation had directly reached the 8th stage of Body Strengthening Realm!
Her blonde hair now had a faint tinge of green, resembling spring leaves.
