Mage And Wolf

Chapter 264: Chapter 264

Before I start on Nibbles, I decide to feed Cedar just a couple cultivation pills. Core Formation, Soul Forging, Natural Energy Enhancement, plus my personal concoction to enable the most efficient use of available energy. Virtually the same concoction we fed to the volunteers the pack brought from the Divine Realm that we were attempting to turn into mages. But in a lower dosage, due to Cedar’s body size.

Her cultivation springs into overdrive, the high grade pills and optimization letting them flow naturally into her body and form an unshakable Foundation. They’re not done yet though, and are beginning to refine her tiny body, so I guide her cultivation through the desired pattern to fully utilize all the pathways I just opened before turning back to Nibbles.

"Alright, lay down here, head in my lap and we’ll get started." I say, before noticing someone has begun watching us. The Alpha’s oldest son, Dave.

"Don’t disturb her. I’m tweaking her cultivation." I whisper with my finger to my lips, knowing his enhanced senses can hear me.

"She might be cultivating, but she’s drooling on your stuffed animal." He whispers back with a grin. That’s fine, they’re washable.

I start by opening up more of Nibbles Meridians, noticing that she’s already got a nice strong cultivation base. She’s not very advanced, but she’s doing an excellent job so far, with decent natural aptitude. The Meridians are opening smoothly over after another, and the increased flow of cultivation energy is starting to drain her, so I begin adding my own.

It’s Lycan, not werewolf tinted, but it should be close enough to not cause problems once she takes the cultivating cocktail. I drop the pills into her mouth and let them dissolve, the effects washing over her like a tidal wave. The Core Forming and Soul Forging pills are rapidly reworking her cultivation base and her body, moving her from Foundation into Fortification Realm. With a bit of finesse, I start to stretch her mana veins, a much easier task than with Cedar, as they’re in good shape, still developing and flexible.

The increased rate of energy flow, combined with the quality of refined energy I have been feeding through her system is rapidly refining her body until I feel the shift and it is no longer simply taking in energy for refinement, but also beginning to allow it to escape, the mark of early Condensation Realm cultivation.

The pills are wearing off though, so I add another set to give me time to finish my work, attuning her body to the external use of energy while increasing the amount she can manipulate.

I’ll have to be careful with these in the future, I’m running low, and the materials to make them are basically nonexistent on Earth.

Increasing her energy handling abilities is a futile exercise unless I start forming her core though, as without it her body will naturally settle back to early Condensation after the external stimuli are gone.

The pills are almost worn off again, and I can feel the power rolling off Nibbles body as her cultivation base settles and her body adapts to the newly formed cultivation core. Small and soft, but stable. From this point on, it’s a matter of increasing the density and layering of the core until it reaches critical mass, then adding enlightenment to the mix, none of which can be done hastily.

In short, she’s reached the peak of what this technique can do for her, a mystic type cultivator at early core Formation with basically zero knowledge except a cultivation technique. She’s going to be stuck at this point for a long time as she picks up everything she needs to know to advance and is skilled enough with the Divine Lightning technique to achieve more than miniscule increases in her power, but she does have power.

She’s making happy noises as the warm energy of Lycan Cultivation flows through her body, and I hear what sounds like a glass breaking.

I open my eyes, looking around to see what broke and discover Dave, the oldest son of the Alpha, still standing where I left him when he told me Cedar was drooling on my stuffed animal.

"You dropped your glass." I point out, as he stands there open mouthed, pointing at me like a fool.

"You, what did you do to her? I can feel the change from here, it’s like she suddenly became an Alpha, but not dominant." He stutters.

"Just a little blessing from the Death God. Don’t worry, it won’t harm your adorable little sister." I tease him, breaking the tension.

"Oh, yeah, I came here for a reason. The training session starts in ten minutes, and most of the pack is eagerly waiting at the training grounds for you." He informs me, indicating the direction of the front door.

They’re eagerly waiting, but not at the training grounds, at least six of them are right here at the doorway, in wolf form, giving me their best puppy eyes. I’ve always been weak to them.

"Alright Nibbles, you need to cultivate to set those changes solidly. Here’s a toy to get you started, just wait here for me to finish the training, the three of us can start our special lessons tomorrow." I tell the little Aspiring Assassin, who is struggling to keep her eyes open. She happily grabs the stuffed animal though, and begins circulating the Divine Lightning technique, which is all I really needed her to do.

"Special training?" Dave asks as I stand up to head to the grounds.

"Both her and Cedar are behind in combat training, and they asked me to help them catch up. Don’t worry, I just want to help your little Princess." I joke, amused by how much he dotes on his little sister.

"As long as she’s not getting hurt, I’m fine with whatever that strange stuff you were doing is. The first time you messed with her, she started talking again, if she starts turning into a little Alpha female this time I’ll back her up all the way."

That’s good to hear, because I’m going to turn that girl into a force of nature. Assuming she is actually as dedicated as she claims. But even if the two end up being lazy cultivators, just slacking off, they should still be average with the advantages I’ve given them.
