Chapter 80: Vampiric Touch
After the chaotic bickering between Qi Hong and Long Meifang, they eventually compromised and allowed everyone to stay for a night. However, Long Meifang got to play with Xu Miao for an hour.
Because of her elder status, Qi Hong didn\'t allow the pervert elder to use dual-cultivation techniques. Still, they could have oral sex.
For one hour, Long Meifang almost drain all liquid from Xu Miao\'s body. The young master had to keep drinking water and eating healing pills to stay alive.
"Thanks for the food. That was delicious. Your semen smells like an orc\'s sperm."
Long Meifang burped. She didn\'t forget to change her bedsheets and went to sleep on her own.
Zheng Liqin managed to get back on her feet. She sat on a chair next to Qi Hong and meditated, digesting Xu Miao\'s yin essence in her belly.
Xu Miao collapsed on the bed, dried and exhausted. He was glad that the elder only used her mouth. Had she used her lower mouth, the result would have been disastrous.
The stud passed out while his sex partners had a satisfied expression.

[[You have entered Isolation Training Space.]]
"Hmm."
Xu Miao had a headache. He sat inside the white cubic room, reading the new scroll, which he had put it in his inventory space beforehand. He was trying to comprehend the secret arts so that Qi Hong could stop pestering him about how he got stronger.
Unfortunately, Xu Miao only had 80 hours to learn this skill. If he had to push his sleeping time a bit, he could extend the time to 100 hours.

\'I have to learn the first few basic arts within 80 to 100 hours, but this shit is not easy!\'
Vampiric Touch was one of the core techniques of the Virgin Yin School. The skill description and its name sounded similar to one of Xu Miao\'s skills, Energy Drain. However, it had different principles and usages.
Energy Drain was a simplified technique from an unorthodox martial art practitioner, who consumed other people\'s Qi to increase their own power. Xu Miao defeated clones of weak disciples with this skill and learned it through the system.
The ED skill didn\'t require yin or yang Qi to activate. It relied on the Qi circulation flow within one\'s body and the control over the general Qi within the surroundings. However, it required the practitioner to touch someone to use it since the skill itself had no Qi activation fundamental. It was a simple qi gathering technique that anyone could stumble upon and could learn without much practice.
In summary, Energy Drain was a derived version of a basic Qi manipulation and Qi gathering technique. Instead of absorbing surrounding Qi into one\'s body, they absorbed it from someone else.
On the other hand, Vampiric Touch was more sophisticated and profound. It also required yin essence to activate the skill.
This core art consisted of many chapters like Dual-Flame. Each chapter represented each use, which would become the foundation for the ultimate skill in the last chapter.
The first chapter was an introduction of a new way to circulate yin essence and yin Qi through 12 major meridians. Attaining the 3rd stage cultivation base, aka Meridian Establishment Realm, was the prerequisite requirement for practicing this art. It required the practitioner\'s meridians and arteries to withstand chaotic essence energy.
The cultivation technique could evolve the user\'s blood cells and meridians, so they would be adaptable to the extreme coldness and chaotic impure power from foreign sources. Also, it synergized with the body cleansing technique as it automatically activated the skill without the additional usage of yin Qi. By mastering the first chapter, the practitioner would never have a problem with impurity and rampaging forces in their body systems again.
The second chapter was similar to Energy Drain as it included an offensive art, which could absorb Qi of the practitioner\'s target. The jarring difference was – it also absorbed life force from the victim.
The second chapter contained a branched technique, called [Life Steal].
Losing Qi and essence wasn\'t as painful as losing one\'s lifespan. By getting energy drained by the Life Steal, the victims would get physically older at a rapid rate. Depending on the mastery of the practitioners, a 10-year-old youth could become a 100-year-old geezer after being touched for a few seconds.
The third chapter was even more deadly. It introduced a new way to use Life Steal. It involved formation spells, or magic circles which cast a continuous area-of-effect spell. Practitioners who had already mastered the second chapter would find this new refining technique useful.
The content taught practitioners about applying [Life Steal] into formation arrays, objects, weapons, or other yin skills. For example, a roadside rock could steal life-force from anyone who touched it. Creative or tactical fighters could turn the environment, such as grasses, trees, houses, and etc., into life-stealing traps. Elite cultivators would be able to add life-stealing attributes to their weapons and yin-based skills, such as ice needles, ice bullets, ice spikes, and many others.
If the first three chapters were considered powerful enough, it wouldn\'t be considered a core technique. The fourth chapter revealed the sinister side of this evil art. It was called "Corpse Resurrection."
All dead bodies that got sucked dry by Life Steal could rise again. They would be resurrected into ghouls and zombies, which would automatically search and eat nearby living organisms other than the master. These undead creatures would also absorb Qi, essence, and life force of their victims and transfer them to their master.
And last application, Vampiric Touch, was the combination of all four arts. Instead of focusing on stealing Qi, the art prioritize on turning living people into vampires! Anyone who mastered the last chapter could transform living humans, demons, beasts, and creatures into vessels, who would steal Qi and life force for the master.
All-in-all, this powerful technique was deadlier and more useful than a simple touch-and-drain. Xu Miao didn\'t have to guess if this skill belonged to an orthodox sect or an evil sect.
\'Sweet mother of Jesus! Dual cultivation isn\'t enough for you, but you guys practice evil arts, too!? I know that Xu Xiuying isn\'t even a human, but ya\'ll fatherfuckers are inhuman! This sect is despicable and savage. They\'re the embodiment of leeching thot organization. How could you do this to poor local cultivators? You all have no shame! You sluts should be prosecuted for practicing this evil despicable technique… Well, I like it. Whoever comes up with this technique, thank you!\'
Xu Miao didn\'t have a qualm about practicing evil arts. As long as no apparent backlash or downside was stated in the scroll, he considered the core technique a good supporting skill.
Not wasting his time, he began practicing the first chapter, establishing his foundation.

= Next Day =
Qi Hong had been watching Xu Miao sleeping all night, and she had examined him with her Qi every five minutes. He never left the room or practiced anything. Yet, she sensed that his Qi volume decreased over time.
The elder didn\'t do anything to help Xu Miao. She waited until morning. Unfortunately, Xu Miao didn\'t show signs of waking up.
8 AM, Zheng Liqin and Long Meifang woke up. However, Xu Miao was still asleep. His face and body covered in sweat as if he was having a bad dream.
Qi Hong was patient. She chased Zheng Liqin away, so she could be alone with the sleeping man.
Unfortunately, Long Meifang stayed. Somehow, she got addicted to the taste of Xu Miao\'s semen. The elder wanted to blow him in his sleep, but Qi Hong ended up kicking the perverted woman outside.
One hour passed, Xu Miao was still sleeping.
10 AM, he refused to wake up.
11 AM, he wasn\'t moving.
Then, at noon, Qi Hong had enough. She walked toward Xu Miao and planned to drag him toward the underground dungeon.
But before Qi Hong could touch him, she sensed violent air within his dantian. The elder jumped back and stayed on guard.
Xu Miao slowly opened his eyes, but his pupils were deep crimson. He should have had blue eyes that Xu Xiuying had tampered it for him, but they were now permanent red like blood.
It was a sign that he had practiced an evil art and successfully established a basic foundation for the technique. His blood and Qi adapted to the sinister cultivation system that it altered his nature.
When the pair of crimson eyes focused on Qi Hong, she recognized the stare. Her eyes, too, used to be in that state after she had mastered the first and second chapter to a small success stage. But now, she could change their colors at will.
In disbelief, Qi Hong asked for confirmation, "Which chapter has you gone through?"
Xu Miao blinked for a moment as he was adjusting his condition. He felt groggy as if he had partied hard last night and slept for too long.
"Before that, can I have a coffee? My head is too heavy. I\'m dying here."
"…"
Fortunately, coffee, whiskey, beer, and soda existed in this world. Xu Miao had a variety of choices when he wanted something to drink. Or else, Qi Hong would have been confused about what he was talking about.
…
After an hour, Xu Miao had his lunch and enough coffee. Qi Hong got to the point, "So, how far can you use the skill?"
Xu Miao burped and patted his belly, "Enough to practice [Life Steal]."
"... Follow me to the underground floor and show me."
"Okay."
"And return my scroll. I only let you borrow it. It\'s not yours."
"I thought you gave it to me for good."
"I let you skim through it, but I didn\'t say that you can have it. If you want it, buy it with your own CP."
"… Fair enough."
Xu Miao took out the scroll and tossed it back to her. At the same time, he communicated with the system.
\'Yesterday, I told you to save it as a PDF file. Have you finished?\'
[[The task has been completed 6 hours ago. You can view Vampiric Touch.PDF at the miscellaneous file tab.]]
\'Cool.\'
Xu Miao chuckled. Thanked Qi Hong for her curiosity and overbearing attitude, He acquired the necessary core skills for the 9th tutorial quest. Now, he just needed to master the three techniques as soon as possible.
