《Foundation Master》Chapter Twelve - Dislikes Holding on to Unpaid Favors
Advertisement
It took us a month to reach the Garden of Blooming Lillies Sect and I just follow Mara's lead, since I'm her master I shouldn't butt in on her personal life and just watch it as live action sitcom. We land and the guard ask "what's your business here fellow cultivators" and I give him a quick peek at my cultivation by leaking out a sliver when Mara finish saying her introduction "I came to see elder Vandressia, I meet her several months ago which she aided me and I came today to pay my respects! This is my master!"
Then she grabs my left arm into a bear hug and gives a smile of pure pleasure. I see the frown of 'this young man is her master?' Then sliver slams home into his brain and he goes to 'stage eight cultivator?! Oh shit!' response. Then gives a belated bow and utters out "welcome young master! It has been way too long since the sect recieved such a rare visit. I'll immediate escort your to a vip manor house!"
So I give faint grunt of approval and smile approvingly to Mara's antics. She litterly goes out of her way to play with me, even in public she acts perfectly delectable. Her mastery in waifueses just blows me away. That's that game we play when we are together, I once watch her go about her daily life and realize she puts on a different personality when ever she talks to someone new.
I always wonder why, but I never wanted ask because I never wanted her know I followed her. As her prospective master I just wanted to know if she was hiding anything I might find offensive, how could I take her as a disciple if she does things against my beliefs? So of course I followed her for a few days to see if I could really take her as my disciple.
Other than the particular habit of role playing a different personality with anyone she is close with, I didn't find anything wrong with her life and she seems genuine happy to have found a master. And with that I found a waifu in my life dragging me from one episode of her life to the next with the only regards was just to have some fun.
We quickly flew up and heads towards a mountain peak near the sect lord's mansion. The guard stops and gestures us to move forwards to the mansion and provides "I can not go any further, but please make yourselves at home. Do you require a servant young master?"
I respond "No need, I'm here on behest of my disciple. I'm not visiting the sect for myself, so please consider me as Mara's guest." Lets see how you roll with this one my dear disciple and a feel faint twitches as she considers her new options. I stroke her back and blow into her ear to rattle her a bit, after all she been clingy from the start so it's finally time to fight back I whisper into her ear "flying into the heavens is waiting my dear Mara."
Mara slowly tilts her head away to face the guard and commands "return to your duties then, we will wait here until I recieve my benefactor's invitation." It was amusing to see the guard bows hastily before retreating and give Mara a poke "are we going to heaven anytime soon my dear?" She laughs and drags me towards the mansion for a landing. As soon as she arrives she flips up the sign 'Close Door Cultivating' and activates the protective barrier.

We come out of our private affair with a five color pill lightning as I made another peak tier eight nivana breakthough pill. But this is a keeper, this is the first time I gathered five color auras in the sky above. The clouds has scatter to show perfectly the five colors in a loose circle. The color to appear first will be the last color to drop down as it has gathered the most celestial energy than the rest.
I raise my hand and activate master's Pill Lightning Rejuvination technique that allow me to refine a large part of pill lightning disruptive energies toward improving my foundations and lightning resistance. The last stroke cause my entire left are to go numb and I smell wisps of burnt flesh and look at my arm. There is about a dozen smoking holes in my arm, but I can tell my regeneration is slowly kicking in as I watch smoking holes slowly close up.
That fifth stroke as great, it boosted my lightning resistance up a small step and feel my alchemy improve a tad. Best of all my cultivation took a noticably jump half way to late stage eight, that probably saved a few years of munching on tier nine resources. So I quickly store the pill next to the Light of the Divine and was memorize by the sparkling radiance the beats out as a wave of vitality. Before I leave I quickly replace any fully revived medicinal herbs to new ones on my must repair list.
Since the return drops with each peak eight pill produced, I expect I need to make five more to get to late stage eight. But I only have enough for one more pill so I hold off and pluck Mara off me and happily request "lets have some fun today since I put up a show, would be a waste if I let it pass!"
Mara goes wide eye in happiness and responds "yes master!" and drags me out of the mansion obvious worried I might change my mind and was tempted to poke her with that thought but reminded myself to wait and put on my poker face for the best results!
Of course, surrounding the out guest mansion is a horde of pretty flowers gawking at us as we drop the privacy barrier and came into each other's view. A quick glance and Mara drags me over to a nearby group of elders and announce "benefactor Vandressia! Sorry for the wait, my master had an epiphany when we arrived and immediate went into alchemy afterwards. She glanced up and smiles "you saw the results for yourself" and watched the fading five colors in the sky then adds "five master! You out did yourself this time!" then hugs my left arm like there is no tomarrow.
The sect elders immediately begin praising me this young master or that young master, so I repond with a smile "senior Vandressia, please enter" and use my left hand to invite, then I politely request to the crowd "fellow cultivators, please allow me to take care of business first, then I will be happy to listen to request as I intend to spend some time visiting to repay senior Vandressia her timely help to my disciple."
As soon as Vandressia step over the threshold I activate the privacy barrier then offer up "Mara tells me you helped her recover from some poison, you have my gratitude" I look at her mid stage seven cultivation and offer "if there is a tier seven artifact or pill you require, I can do that. This is the sole reason for my visit. If you choose to accept my thanks, then I will stay one week afterwards to produce pills or artifacts with your sect warehouse at no cost. I wish I could stay longer, but I have an oppointment in the east that I can not miss."

I watch iris in her eyes go wide and she stutters out "you are a master of both alchemy and artificing?" Then realizing her social blunder goes into a deep bow and follows up with "sorry young master, I thought I rid myself of the habit of speaking out my thoughts!"
I smile amusingly at her and stroke Mara's chin to gentle push her mouth over for a kiss for who is on top. I feel her push at me to no avail, she ends up giving me the quick win and breaks away to supply "benefactor! You can not bow like that!" and helps her stand upright. "My master insist on coming to repay my debt because he really dislikes holding on to unpaid favors."
I nod and supply "my dad told me to always pay my debts, and only when you don't owe any favors can you face death like a real man. For cultivation I can offer you a tier seven niravana breakthough pill or an peak tier seven livingwind type artifact." I can see tiny movements on her clothes and hair indicating she has wind affinity as tiny streams of air swirl happily around her.
She looks at Mara for support and Mara hands out "don't be shy! Tell my master want you need" then leans in and begins nibbling on my left ear. I reach over to pet her hair as I contemplate my next move.
Vandressia finally announces the cultivator route "I'll take the pill please young master! Thank you!" and I can see she almost into tears. Her youth has switch over to the big sister look and obviously looking for ways to breakthrough to stage eight to lock down her looks before aging anymore. I hand over a niravana breakthough pill and a pouch of a thousand tier seven resources and inform "please use this these resources to get to peak stage seven." Which reminds me, so I pull out a tier nine resource and start on my daily chew.
I see Vandressia shakes her head in disbelief on how I handle my cultivating resources, I find it easier to refining the shattered bits in my stomach than waste time refining them one at a time. With master's Inner Furnace technique, I modified my stomach into a living furnace that specialize in refining cultivation resources.
Seeing me chewing on tier nine cultivation resources that would make any tier eight expert explode, I see her turn into an obediant fan girl. Then I hear the transmitted message in Mara mind "your master sure is amazing!" I nearly choked out some laughter but I manage to keep the poker face with a faint smile for a trace of my sudden amusement.
Since our minds are always connected with a spiritual mental channel when we are close, she knows I barely held back my laughter and I feel her body shake faintly as she considers her next move so I go ahead and begin exploring her back by giving her finger massages with my left hand then I lean forward to peer at her beautiful face from below.
As I watch her eyes flick upward to see over my head she goes on with "thank you for clearing my debt, my master has decide to spend week to change your high end materials to treasures for free. Please inform your sect's seniors of my masters offer." Then I steal my first kiss for the day, that's my free kiss move that I get three times a day. Of course she has her own move which is hug me like a teddy bear and begin slowly kissing down my cheek until she reaching my mouth.
We hear Vandressia back away and escape while providing "thank you young master! Thank you little sister! I'll inform my seniors at once" and scuttle out of here by opening a door in the privacy barrier. Mara seals the door and we burst out laughing and gives me a tackle hug in graditude for playing with her.
After that we headed out to check on the sisters that she befriended, fortunately they were smart enough to wait nearby. Once Mara spotted them she drags me over for her form of show and tell as she clings to me as she starts up the next act of the day. I go along for the ride, adding in twists to make her stumble as I force her to consider new options.
Eventually when it came time for me to act and seeing they are all stage six cultivators, so I hand out tier six nirvana breakthough pill to each of them and then add "consider these small gifts for aiding my disciple."
Then I did a medical check on all them to see if they have any flaws in their cultivation but found none. But I was able give them advice after checking their body type and elemental affinity. I was able to give clear advice to shore up weak points and give them a firm path towards stage seven.
After that, they happily gave us a tour around the inner sect until elder Vandressia arrives and hands over a void ring and provides this clue "the sect leader's thank you kindly for your offer and has provide the raw materials and list of items we hope you can produce for the sect." Then she bows deeply with sincerity.
I tap Mara's ass lightly to give her the lead and she responds with "benefactor, please don't bow! My master and I are happy to help your sect!"
After a week I had produced several tier seven weapons, and a bunch of tier six and seven pills from their stockpile of materials that they have given me. Mara and Vandressia chit chatted away and from their talks was able to convince their sect lord to provide us an alternate travel route.
The Garden of Blooming Lillies has a hidden teleportation gate to a remnant to the north near Mara's friends sect and was more than willing to offer it's use so we could save nearly a month of travel time. In gratitude I toss a handful of various tier seven weapons to the escorting elders before we took the jump.
A quick look told me the remnant is still sealed, so with the information we were given we head south westerly towards the distant sect Mara's friend attends. We had stop by her clan, but found out she was recruited by a wondering sect elder from the Pavilion of Silver Moon. A mid size sect with a good reputation that recently promoted an elder that reached stage eight as it's new sect lord.
It is the first time the sect has produced a stage eight expert, so they are experiencing a sudden growth. As many juniors find the sect more appealing and willing to negotiate to join the growing power. So as we near the sect we encounter many young cultivators heading over to participate in the three month long recruitment qualification tests.
We arrive at the entrance of the Pavilion of the Silver Moon, the guards immediately directed us to the nearby qualification grounds with "fellow cultivators, the qualification grounds is in that direction" and points to the crowd to the West.
I growled out "treating me like an idiot?" then I expose early stage eight cultivation and see the guards all drop to their knees and beg forgiveness. I watch an elder come rushing up after sensing my cultivation and seeing the guard prostrate themselves and begging for forgiveness for offending me.
Realizing the guards were at fault jumps in with "young master! Please forgive my juniors, the recently recruitement has made them forget their manners," and he cups his hands and bows deeply and sincerely. So I drop my oppressive might down to a sliver and push Mara sleightly forward.
Mara smoothly responds "I am Mara and this is my master, we have come to see my friend Josephine Ceirdan who recently been recruited by one of your wondering elders who calls himself Wispy Cloud."
The elder blinks as he take that in before replying "I see, please follow me to a guest quarters," and then to one of the guards "deliver a message to the outer sect to bring miss Ceirdan to these distinguish guests." We followed the elder to the elaborate palace to settle down, he quickly excused himself as Mara brags about Josephine and can't wait to congradulate her for joining a sect. Beside I can tell he is itching to leave to tell his seniors that a tier eight guest had unexpectantly arrived.
It didn't take long for an elder escorted Josie in for a landing. I watch Mara and her friend hug each other and begin sprouting non stop of their adventures. Eventually the excitement of seeing each other dies down and Mara introduces me with "Josie, this is Drake, my master!"
I watch her cup her hands and bow deeply and begins with "Mara has told me all about you, it is an honor to meet you young master!" I can see her foundation is solid, most likely Mara gave her a foundation pill and probably a breakthough pill as well. She is also has earth affinity and a touch of fire, but she is only working on earth, so does that mean she has no idea she has dual elements or is she just ignoring her fire affinity?
My divine thought scans though master's rings and I see I have the basics material I needed to boost her fire affinity so I go with "hmmmm, I see you have dual elements, but it seem you don't know or just ignoring your fire affinity. You should strengthen your fire affinity while your still young, dual elements will awaken your full potential far more than just one elemental affinity."
She looks at me in shock and utters "I have dual elements?"
I nod yes and Mara then goes on "Josie! Congrats! I can't believe you have two elements."
