Corrupt Creations

"I need you to lay down and relax."

Caizhi followed his instructions laying down of the sofa.

Lilian didn't do anything she was just observing, she knew how much her friend valued matters concerning this problem.

Seth approached and stood beside her.

"Lexi it's all on you now." Lexi and Seth started a mind conversation.

"Do you think I will help you on condemning another innocent girl?"

"What?! I'm just trying to help her here. What do you take me for? A Pervert?"

"Yeah, that's the perfect word!"

"What the fuck? Damn. I promise you that i will find a spiritual energy filled place."

"..." Lexi stood quiet.

"Please! I guarantee that it's going to be a beautiful place."

"Alright, deal! Tell her that you will need to directly touch her back; no tissue between."

"Damn! Now I'm going to be considered a pervert and it will be your fault!"

"My fault? What do I have to do with it? It's just an examination."

After ending their little deal, Seth took a deep breath and thickened his face skin.

"Miss, what is your name?"

"I'm called Wu Caizhi."

"Then Miss Caizhi. Could you lie on your stomach? I need to touch your back to do the examination and you will need to remove your clothes." Seth had the most serious countenance he had ever made in his life.

"!!!"

"What?" Lilian got shocked. Women of big families would only expose that much of skin to the person they married.

Seth hastily said: "You don't have to take everything off, I just need to be in direct contact with your back."

Lilian was the one that answered. "Even that won't be possible! Are you trying to deceive us?"

"Lilian it's alright, I'll do it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am." Caizhi, the one at that should be opposing the idea, agreed, and easily at that. She felt that Seth wouldn't hurt her at all.

Caizhi laid down of a couch and undid her robe, exposing her pale and smooth back.

"Alright then." Not giving them time to rethink, Seth proceeded with the examination. He approached her and slowly extended his hands, touching her back very lightly.

Caizhi was embarrassed by the situation, but she closed her eyes and forced herself to put up with it, clinging to her hope of a normal life.

She first felt a light touch, but not even five seconds later a warm current of energy entered her body, giving her the most peaceful feeling she has ever felt. Now, she was reluctant to part with it.

Lexi, controlling Seths energy as it was her own, used a very profound method to check on her condition. She analyzed every muscle, every organ and even going to deeper levels of her anatomy.

At the end, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her physical body.

Then, she proceeded to the energy channels, but just a first look at it made her completely surprised. There was spirit energy flowing inside her body. One thing would be if it was the torrent mixture of energy that every practitioner needed to refine in order to upgrade their realm, but it was present on the flow of her assimilated energy.

Whenever a cultivator was training, he would put himself or herself through a really peaceful condition and environment, slowly absorbing the highly mixed energy present around. It contained every kind of impurities you could imagine, Qi energy, Spiritual energy and even Mana. Mana was a higher form of Qi energy, more compressed and stronger.

The developed system this world people used, was highly based on the resistance and endurance of the body. One, should start absorbing the tiniest amount of energy of the poorest quality possible. It would with time enhancing your foundation and expanding your limits. From Qi energy, they would then start touching the concept of Mana.

But, no one has ever able to absorb Spirit energy! Not because people didn't attempt it, but because it has always ended in a tragedy. Spirit energy wasn't made for human body. It would be highly incompatible and destructive while it was inside your body, resulting in a horrendous death.

Lexi has just witnessed the impossible. Caizhi somehow survived the process and even assimilated some of it as her own, increasing her cultivation with it. But it seems that her body has reached the limit.

After some time contemplating, Lexi made a complicated decision.

"Seth, I need her, no... We need her!"

"What?! We need her?"

"Yeah... and you probably need to use that power on her."

A deathly silence enveloped his mind. Things turned serious now.

"Why?"

"I just discovered something mind-blowing going on inside of her and I'll probably need some time to understand it. You won't be able to control her unless it is like that. Those are the basic reasons and I know it is insufficient to put your plan at risk, but I guarantee you that we won't leave with less if we get her."

Lexi has never been this anxious before and Seth knew it. There might be more to it, so he took the opportunity while the examination was still ongoing to contemplate it.

"Lexi, this is a point of no return, so, if she does not accept it, I can't guarantee I'll keep her alive..." This was a really serious conversation that would change the direction of his life.

Lexi didn't reply him at all, she left the final decision on his hands.

By the time she ended her scan, he already decided on what to do.

Seth took his hands out of her back and turned to talk with Lilian. "Lilian, do you value your friend's life?"

Lilan was taken aback by his question.

"Of course, I do!"

"Then, you going to have to give me some private time with her and it needs to be inside the Secret Phoenix Sect Formation!"

"!!!" Lilian was shocked again, how does he know that the Phoenix Sect have a secret formation?

"You! How do you..."

"Every sect ought to have a hidden and peaceful place, right? If you really value her, then we got to make haste, her condition will just get worse from here on."

Caizhi was just as speechless as Lilian was.

Lilian pushed her doubts for later and said: "Alright, I can bring you there, but promise me it will be fast, if anyone discover an outsider on that place, things won't end well for you. And let me clarify it to you... I'm allowing it because it concerns about Caizhi, but if you do anything that will harm her, I'll make you an enemy of the entire Phoenix Sect!"

Lilian was now justifying her well-deserved Fiery Princess nickname. At such times she could be severe and decisive.

Seth instead of getting mad, though highly of her and started liking more about her character. She has silently threatened him and he was pretty much convinced that she was already starting to doubt about some things.

"Alright. Bring us there." Seth, now, had a deeper interest on her.

Yuyin blinked not understanding the nuances and eager to spend more time with her new friends.
