After a mont of cuddling, Aster patted the backs of both mother and daughter and urged them to start with the process.
"What do we do now?", asked Sarina, she has never heard of a pill that can awaken one's latent bloodline, she didn't know she had one prior to eting Aster in fact, but it would be a lie to say she isn't a bit jealous of Lilia.
Not only her body is incredibly strong by innate, her capacity to gather, absorb and circulate energies, is on a different level compared to the other sisters, not to ntion she can match up to Aster's endless libido in part thanks to her dragon lineage.
Also, while she knows she can be considered incredibly young in the scale of cultivators, after eting Aster, she realized the world is infinitely vaster than what she ever imagined, and the years she "wasted", were precious as others got ahead of her.
Her age rounds the forty-fifty, and she is only recently ascended Mortal Transcending realm cultivator, while there are mber of the young generation less than half her age who are about to cross to the Transcending realms.
Sure she knew her battle prowess and experience will eclipse them by far, especially because she has beco a star maiden, but she wanted to be Aster's wife, she wanted him to depend on her too.
Of course she would not waste this opportunity her husband gifted her, she was going to recover all the years she has lost previously, though she didn't want to compete with Lilia for the "main wife" position, she liked to diate, unlike Lilia who tends to be more childish and selfish at so tis, she takes the role of being the "mother" in the harem.
Taking the position of being below Aster instead of hugging him, letting the other girls go first and the like, even her power as a star maiden was linked to how she felt towards others, like the mist she unlocked when she felt Aster's anger about what Rox and Ley had planned to do with Kana, truly a selfless and caring woman.
Aster saw the rare expecting gaze in Sarina's face, which reminded her of the way Kana uses her cuteness to get his attention and he softly laughed.
'Like mother like daughter', he thought as he pointed at the bottle in Sarina's hands.
"For you it will be a single refining process, the materials used are as gentle as possible, so according to my calculations in less than ten minutes, you should be able to absorb the pill in your dantian, then your lineage will wake up from its slumber".
"Unlike other mbers of the Storm Roc lineage, your wings will appear due to your lineage concentration, not because of the manual you are using, they will be unique in their kind, luckily you'll be able to nurture them the way Aurelian's manual say and with so "help" too".
A cultivation manual is always created to fill in for the lacking in the family's lineage, that is when we are talking about those who focus mainly in developing their bloodlines as their specialty, such as the Drage.
After their lineages have been diluted, they have no choice but to stimulate it and then patch the holes in their bloodline, of course that is for those whose blood concentration is really bad, then there is the type like Lilia whose parents had a high concentration and thus, their offspring is the sa, they are born with less things to "patch", so they can develop other aspects better.
But Lilia and Alice had taken a different path, they now don't depend on the Drage's manual to improve their lineage, but on Aldebaran's power and all the "love" their lover gives them, which transforms into nutrition for their bodies and lineages.
As a proof of their independence from that aspect of their manual, Lilia's wings are way different to any that she has seen or heard of in her family and Alice has a tail sothing never seen as well.
Aster had noticed his mother and sister weren't being "limited" by their manuals, and that is in part also why he asked Sarina and Kana to wait for him to get them proper lineages for them to form their wings, and the two happily trusted in him despite the fact that they were being restrained to advance in their manual due to it, since their wings are the focus of the manual.
And now that trust was paying off.
"For Kana, the doze was divided in three parts, since she is too young and her body isn't strong enough to handle the strength of the pill or a complete awakening, she'll be taking one pill every eight months, it would have been more ti, but Esralda can help her regulate and circulate the force of the pill through her ridians".
Kana pouted, she also didn't like to be just ditating and preferred to play outside with her big brother, which Aster knew, but he of course was prepared to persuade the little girl.
"Once you finish absorbing the pill, you'll be able to advance through experience really fast, without the need to ditate all the day, like , that is one of the advantages spirit beasts have over humans after all".
"Not to ntion you can manifest your wings with just the first pill, but your ti with them will be limited until you take the other two, what do you say, after your training is over, you'll be able to spend all the ti you want with ".
Kana's eyes sparkled, she repeatedly nodded, so months training were nothing in front of the possibility of being with her beloved big brother as much as she wants, not to ntion she needs to focus on learning intent, because she hasn't forgotten their little deal.
'I got you so ti, be sure to teach her well Esralda', said Aster directly to the spirit wind, Kana has so much potential, that she needs soone that is able to be with her all the ti, that's why Aster put so effort into getting Esralda to join them but by making a contract with Kana, of course that didn't an he was just going to left her with Esralda, but in terms of wind who can be a better teacher than an spirit wind itself.
Sarina has diverted from the nature path since she got her power as a star maiden, to a more battle oriented one, but since he got a glimpse of the star that reacted when Kana made a contract with Esralda, he knew she won't be changing that.
Just like the two won ntioned in the history of the Storm Roc clan, one was so strong in battle that her being part of the gentle side of the family didn't make sense, while the other was the perfect definition of gentle, but she was too naïve, to the point that she was used by her own mother and nearly got sacrificed, one gave up her life and the other supposedly gave in on being a cultivator had descendants and died.
And that is sothing Aster will never let happen to his Sarina and Kana, he will make Sarina so strong that she will never have to sacrifice herself, and he will help Kana to keep her gentleness but being naïve will be forbidden, she'll know how to not be taken advantage off and how to defend herself, those are his goals with them.
Before the girls continued, Esralda expressed her doubts.
"Where did you get such an incredibly pure and concentrated blood of a Storm Roc, did you kill an inner elder of their family?".
Aster chuckled as he answered.
"No, it's sothing I made myself, like I said, only the best for my girls".
"…", Esralda wanted to say sothing but she was speechless, she would call anyone who claid to have made such a pure blood a scamr, but since that day when Aster passed her trials, she has beco unable to think he is uncapable of doing anything.
Since no one had any more doubts, the mother and daughter sat down on the floor, Sarina swallowed the pill in one go, while Kana licked it like a candy, Mylene gave it a sweet taste as a favor for the little girl, but she swallowed it too after playing with it for a couple of seconds.
Aster's image flashed and then he appeared behind Aria, who brightly smiled when she was hugged from behind by Aster.
"Let's give them a hand my ice princess", he whispered at her.
"Mm~", Aria's face reddened a bit, but she happily nodded and then while they joined their hands, both their bodies exploded in blue flas, normally Aster would have done it himself, but he was still kind of tired after purifying the materials, luckily his cute ice beauty had a pretty big reserve of Rigel's flas, which he could control too.
"Spirit pagoda", mumbled Aster, then with them as the center a pagoda made out of blue flas raised from the ground, surrounding everyone.
While it was the first ti Vivian or Agnes, had seen Aster using Rigel's flas this way, they both believed from the bottom of their hearts he wouldn't harm them, so they didn't even try to resist despite they being bathed in those blue flas.
Vivian specially knew Aster's flas were the bane of poisons, but since it has related to him, then she knew her body wouldn't react in a hostile way and such was the case, she actually felt a fresh relaxing sensation as well as a clean and pure atmosphere surrounding her, Agnes was the sa, she stretched her body and felt her muscles relax.
"Mm, this place is as good as a high ranked cultivation chamber, no is better I can feel the fatigue in my body slowly reducing, it's almost as good as the elixir cleansing pool…", mumbled Agnes.
Lilia giggled in response, she of course had to do her job as mother and "promote" her son's strong points as a partner.
"My darling and Aria can purify everything that is surrounded by those flas, this room has essentially beco a "virgin area", a paradise which hasn't ben sullied by other cultivators ever before~".
Vivian was impressed but as she hasn't had the need to refine spirit energy when she cultivated, because her poison didn't leave any impurity exist in her body, she didn't understand how shocking Lilia's affirmation was, though there were so downs for her thod, like her poison destroying more than just the impurities but also the spirit energy she wanted to absorb, reducing her results.
But Agnes cos from the main branch of a ruler family, and she knows that a bloody war would rise every ti an unexplored area is found, life is a cycle, cultivators, animals, spirit beasts, herbs and other living beings absorbed the spirit energy to strengthen themselves, but returned it to the world on a regular basis, at so point they would start producing their own spirit energy and releasing it in the world.
That contributed to increase the amount and strength of the spirit energy in an area, that was the principle behind the phenonon of a when a Mortal Transcended was born, the problem is that not everyone's spirit energy is pure and so with ti the spirit energy in the atmosphere will reduce its quality.
Of course there were ways to reduce the worsening of the quality, like reducing the number of cultivators per planet, also with ti the heavens will cleanse the spirit energy on a regular basis, that is also one of the reasons as to why the main family branches pushed the secondary branches to other places, so that they would keep a high quality.
Planets and natural landscapes which are unexplored often have the best quality of spirit energy possible, training there will give double the results with half the effort, and thus the strong will of course claim them for themselves, turning them into secret realms or protected areas, only allowing the best of the best from their families to access them as a reward.
Agnes as a direct descendant of the main branch has been in so of the sacred lands her family has, and she can safely affirm the atmosphere in this room is almost as good as that, but one is a place created by millions of years of natural accumulation and the other… was created in a few seconds by a pair of cultivators below the Mortal Transcending realm, it was outrageous.
And yet Lilia didn't mind telling, why do you ask, because there are no strange people here, all the presents are related to Aster in a way and they will never betray him, such is the impact her beloved son causes in those around him.
The girls then saw small blue particles condensing on the air, it was like a sea of stars, a sight to behold.
While the other girls enjoyed the view, the pair of mother and daughter were focused in absorbing the pill in their dantian, Aster was supervising every second of it, while he also maintained the spirit pagoda, a normal soul cultivator would have fainted a long ti ago, as this consus a lot of soul energy, but right now Aster didn't even think of it, he won't take his eyes off them until they have finished the absorption process.
Lilia and Alice could of course see the worry in Aster's eyes and they approached him to comfort him.
"They will be fine darling, you have done your utmost to guarantee their success~", said Lilia.
"Yes, you better prepare a gift as good as this one for , or I will bite you to death", mumbled Alice.
Aster let out a sigh or relief as he thought.
'Trust in them, they are stronger than what you think, I'll never be alone again'.
Aster ca out of his daze when he saw the blue illumination caused by Rigel's flas, being overwritten by two different colors, from Kana's side a gem clear green light, on Sarina's side it was an imposing ash-red light, both were incredibly luminous and pretty.
"It has begun", mumbled Aster as he tightened his grip on Aria's hand, now they just needed to stimulate their bloodline with part of the poisonous bloodline Aster purified for them, both blood origins will then reside in their bodies complenting each other and will ultimately fuse thanks to Aldebaran.
But for that to happen hey needed to awaken their own lineages, if not all will go to waste, of course they wouldn't suffer any wound, but the pill will be only used as a source of spirit energy.
