I searched the mountain for over two hours. It was well into the early morning when the protagonist discovered the fortuitous opportunity.
'It definitely said it was a crevice in split rocks…'
I recalled the original plot. Jin Myeong-woo had said that he found the secret manual while resting in a crevice between split rocks.
Wiping the sweat from my brow, I looked around. Rocks were scattered here and there among the dense forest. I had no idea which of the many rocks concealed the secret manual.
I started moving again. I examined each rock carefully, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. The task was even harder because the entire mountain was covered in rocks.
'Damn it, it'll be sunset before I know it.'
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and decided to rest for a while. I sat on a nearby rock that looked flat.
-CRACK.
The moment my butt touched it, I felt the rock sink beneath me. I lost my balance and nearly fell backward.
I quickly stood up and looked at the rock. A crack had formed near where I had been sitting.
'This is it.'
As if by fate, I had found the very rock I had been searching for. The crevice was barely wide enough for a hand.
I reached into the crevice. Something brushed my fingertips—a damp, cold object. I could tell it had been hidden in the gap for a long time.
'Could this be the secret manual…'
I carefully reached deeper and grasped the object. The secret manual Jin Myeong-woo was supposed to find in the original story was now within my grasp.
I carefully pulled out the secret manual. It was wrapped in cloth. Despite having been kept in the crevice for many years, it was strangely well preserved.
I carefully unfolded the cloth. Inside was a book. The Chinese characters for Yin-Yang Manual were written on yellowed paper.
I tucked the secret manual into my robes and descended the mountain. I planned to examine it somewhere safe.
I quickly returned to the Jin estate, told Seol-hee to get plenty of rest today, and went into my room. I locked the door and shut the windows so that no one could interrupt me.
I sat in the middle of the room and carefully opened the Yin-Yang Manual. The yellowed paper gave off the distinctive scent of an old book. When I turned to the first page, finely written characters caught my eye.
The first page held a preface written by a Daoist immortal. It discussed the circulation of yin and yang and the manipulation of vital essence. Beneath it was a meridian diagram accompanied by delicate illustrations.
When I turned to the next page, the actual cultivation method appeared. It gave detailed instructions on gathering and circulating vital essence, as well as how to use it during intercourse with a woman.
'Is this the secret of cultivating through sexual arts…'
It wasn't simply about lusting after women; it was a method of cultivating by exchanging vital essence with one another. It was based on the principle that when a man's and a woman's vital essences met, they complemented and strengthened each other.
What particularly caught my eye was the method for circulating vital essence at the moment of climax. It carefully described a method of absorbing the woman's vital essence as she climaxed while simultaneously imparting my own vital essence to her.
As I turned more pages, I found even more advanced secrets. They had never appeared in the original story.
'I wonder if it will work on Seol-hee, who hasn't learned martial arts?'
I was doubtful. I examined the contents of the secret manual in detail. The original story said that it was used to absorb the vital essence of women who had learned martial arts. But Seol-hee was an ordinary person.
As I kept turning the pages, I found a passage written in tiny letters.
[The energy of yin and yang exists in all things under heaven and earth, but its effects will vary according to the depth of one's cultivation. Though a beauty's vital essence is weak, it is pure, so…]
“What?”
The writing was too faint to make out what came next. I turned to the following page, but there was nothing else. Only blank pages remained.
I closed the book. To master the Yin-Yang Manual, I began cultivating according to its instructions. First, I sat cross-legged and began gathering vital essence.
As instructed by the secret manual, I focused my awareness on my dantian. I inhaled and exhaled slowly according to the Daoist breathing method. With each breath, I could feel a faint energy gathering in my dantian.
'Naturally… follow the flow of qi…'
As written in the manual, I drew the energy upward along my spine. The warm energy that began in my dantian started climbing up my back. It was slow at first, but gradually picked up speed.
The energy that rose to the top of my head now descended toward my chest. It lingered near my heart for a moment before returning to my dantian, completing the cycle.
'This… feels completely different from Iron Origin Qigong.'
It felt unfamiliar at first, but as time passed, my body adapted. I could feel the circulating energy growing hotter and stronger.
'Now, little by little…'
I moved on to the next stage described in the Yin-Yang Manual. I began drawing the energy in my dantian downward. It gathered around my genitals, and the process ended.
Now all that remained was to put it to the test. The problem was that only two women in the family had learned martial arts.
'Jin So-hee and Jang Seo-yeong…'
Jin So-hee was my half-sister and Jin Myeong-woo's biological older sister. Jang Seo-yeong was the second wife, Jin So-hee's mother, and the youngest daughter of the Jangbaek Sect.
Both women were skilled martial artists. Their vital essence would surely be a great help.
'But it's dangerous.'
I couldn't approach them recklessly.
'Isn't there a way?'
I wondered how I might get a chance to ravage them. If I made a careless move, I might be killed, eldest son or not.
'I'll take it slowly… and wait for an opportunity.'
There was no need to hurry. First, I would test the effects of the Yin-Yang Manual on Seol-hee, then I would conquer the mother and daughter one by one.
I had plenty of time, anyway. Slowly, but surely, I would make the two of them mine.
When I looked out the window, dawn had already broken. I hadn't realized that so much time had passed since I started in the evening.
'Did I really become this absorbed in cultivation?'
Perhaps because I had cultivated all night, I could feel a heavy energy in my dantian. It was an unfamiliar yet powerful force, unlike anything before. I could feel a hot energy swirling in my chest.
'Now I need to try it in practice.'
I tried to lie down and wait for Seol-hee to come, but my sexual desire suddenly surged even more intensely. I didn't know whether it was the effect of cultivating the Yin-Yang Manual or the result of raising my stats, but a stronger urge than ever rose within me.
The heat I felt in my lower body was different from usual.
“Hoo….”
As I waited for Seol-hee to arrive that morning, I tried to calm my heated body. The vital essence gathered in my dantian boiled like lava.
'If I ravage Seol-hee in this state…'
An even more intense desire surged through me than usual. My cock was already erect to the point of bursting. The flow of vital essence I had learned from the Yin-Yang Manual was focused toward my genitals.
Seol-hee would soon come to attend to me for the morning as usual. Thinking about pouring this hot vital essence into her pussy made it even harder to hold back.
As I closed my eyes and tried to calm the energy boiling in my dantian, I heard light footsteps.
“Young Master…”
Seol-hee's sweet voice came from outside. The door opened slightly, and her scent seeped into the room. It was an ordinary morning just like any other, but today, something was different.
The moment I sensed her presence, the energy in my dantian began boiling again. It was as though the vital essence I had gained through cultivating the Yin-Yang Manual detected her and reacted. I could clearly sense her presence without opening my eyes.
'Is this… a new sense?'
My eyes were still closed, but I could sense a faint energy emanating from Seol-hee's body. It was as though an invisible thread were drawing her vital essence toward me.
“Young Master, I brought your breakfast.”
I opened my eyes at the sound of Seol-hee entering. She set the food down before me with a smile in her eyes. The slender nape of her neck, where her skin showed faintly through, and the slim waist visible above her skirt captured my attention.
She looked the same as usual, but through the senses I had gained from cultivating the Yin-Yang Manual, she appeared completely different. I could see the faint vital essence rising from her body. Pure, clear energy rose like a light pink haze.
The yin energy rising from her lower abdomen and pussy was especially distinct. A faint, cool energy swirled there like moonlight. It seemed the desire that had accumulated in her pussy throughout the night had manifested as energy.
'So the manual was right…'
This was what it meant when it said a beauty's vital essence was pure. Seol-hee's vital essence was clear and pure, like a pristine spring.
As I watched her bend over to set the table, the energy in my dantian began boiling again. The curve of her full buttocks showing through her underwear and her slender waist stood out even more clearly. Her scent and vital essence stimulated my senses.
Now it was time to ravage her with this vital essence.
“Seol-hee.”
“Yes, Young Master?”
The energy gathered in my dantian writhed, though it was still incomplete. I didn't know exactly how to use it, but I was instinctively drawn toward her.
I wrapped an arm around her waist. I tried to circulate the vital essence as the Yin-Yang Manual taught, but I was still clumsy. Unable to control the energy in my dantian properly, I let most of it disperse.
'I'm still lacking…'
But even so, something was different from usual.
“If you do this first thing in the morning…”
She spoke shyly, but her body was already reacting. When I cupped her breast, I felt her stiff nipple in my palm.
“Hngh… Young Master…”
When I brought my lips to her ear, her breathing grew ragged. While fondling one breast with one hand, I slipped the other beneath her skirt.
“You're already this wet.”
I could feel that her pussy was already thoroughly soaked through her underwear. When I rubbed it lightly with my finger, her hips jerked.
“Ahh… Young Master, it's because you keep touching me…”
My fingers pushed aside her underwear and directly stimulated her pussy, making her back arch. Her juices wet my fingers as she moaned sweetly.
I led Seol-hee to the bed. As I removed her clothes one piece at a time, her white skin was revealed.
“Haa… Young Master…”
When I removed even her last piece of underwear, her pussy was exposed.
I rubbed her pussy with my fingers, and her body trembled.
“Spread your legs.”
She obediently spread her legs. Her pussy writhed, craving my cock.
“Please put it in… Put Young Master's cock inside me…”
When I rubbed the glans against her pussy, juices streamed down. Her nipples stood stiff, and her flushed face was filled with lust.
“Hngh!”
I thrust my cock inside in a single motion, and she threw her head back. Her hot vaginal walls clamped tightly around my cock.
“Haa… haa…”
Seol-hee's breathing grew ragged. Every time my cock sank deep inside her, her back arched like a bow. Her hot vaginal walls greedily squeezed my cock.
“Young Master… harder, harder…”
Her sweet moans filled the room. I gripped her full breasts and moved my hips even faster.
-Thud! Thud! Thud!
With the sound of flesh slapping against flesh, juices splattered. Seol-hee's pussy was so hot it seemed capable of melting my cock.
“Ahh! I love it!”
Each time I struck her cervix, her pussy contracted spasmodically. When I twisted her nipples, she reacted even more violently.
“Hngh… I'm coming… I'm coming!”
Seol-hee's entire body arched like a bow. Her pussy, at the height of climax, clamped down on me frantically. At that moment, I felt something different in my own body.
The energy gathered in my dantian burst out explosively. Each time I poured out semen, an intense pleasure swept through me, as though electricity were surging through my entire body. It was a climax completely unlike my usual ones.
“Hwaaahhhh!!!!”
A cry of pleasure burst from Seol-hee. Her pussy contracted frantically, as though hungering for my vital essence. Her womb writhed and greedily sucked in my semen.
It felt as if our energies were mixing, an intense pleasure wrapping around my entire body. The energy emanating from her body intertwined with mine.
Even after I had poured out all my semen, the sensation continued. The intense pleasure of our bodies seeming to melt into one lasted for quite some time.
