Damon opened his eyes.

The room was still dark, the kind of deep pre-dawn quiet where the city outside hadn’t started moving yet.

Ariel was pressed against his left side, her dark blue hair fanned across his shoulder.

Mio and Mia were tangled together at the edge of the bed, breathing in near-perfect sync the way twins sometimes did without realizing it.

Neko hadn’t moved from the foot of the bed, still curled tight in her tiger cub form.

He stared at the ceiling for a moment, then pulled up the system.

’System, What’s pill should I buy for bloodline and physique upgrades for the girls?

The system responded immediately.

[Host should buy the Earth Grade Universal Bloodline Advancement Pill for bloodline upgrade. It can upgrades any bloodline by one grade. It will cost 250,000 Lust Points per pill.]

[And use Earth Grade Universal Physique Advancement Pill for physique. It can upgrades any physique by one grade. It also cost host 250,000 Lust Points per pill.]

’One grade? Not one level?’

[Yes, host can buy for pill for per level, it going to be cheaper but it need time for for each consumption.]

’So you can’t eat all at the same time?’

[Yes Host, bloodline and physique are rare and powerful. if you bought for each level your woman only can eat 1 each month, and it will take half month for them to absorb it.]

[While the Earth Grade Universal Physique Advancement Pill and Earth Grade Universal Bloodline Advancement Pill will take a month to absorb but it will upgrade their bloodline and physique to Earth grade directly.]

’I see, then buy 3 each.’

He bought three without hesitating.

[You bought three Earth Grade Universal Physique Advancement Pill. -750,000 lust points.]

[You bought three Earth Grade Universal Bloodline Advancement Pill. -750,000 lust points.]

His current bloodline and physique were both already at Earth Grade - Low.

He had four harem members now, each with their own bloodlines and physiques that could still climb.

Ariel had the Sea Princess Bloodline and Physique at Mortal Grade - Low.

Selene had the Ice Goddess Bloodline and Physique, also freshly integrated.

Mio had the Void Sniper. Mia had the Shadow Queen.

All of them need to grow their bloodline and physique.

’For now I’ll keep it and give it to them when we are back at the sect.’

He put the pill away to his storage ring and then opened the spiritual roots section.

[Spiritual Root Advancement Pill]

[Description: Advances any spiritual root by one full grade, regardless of current grade. Purity rating ensures zero impurities during advancement, eliminating breakthrough pain and instability.]

[Heaven Grade - Flawless Purity]

[Cost: 500,000 Lust Points per pill.]

’Alright, then buy 3 of them.’

He bought three without hesitating.

[You bought three Heaven Spiritual Root Advancement Pill - Flawless Purity, -1,500,000 lust points.]

The pills materialized in his palm, each one a deep translucent gold, perfectly smooth, radiating a faint warmth that pressed against his skin like sunlight through glass.

He turned one over between his fingers.

The auction pill had been Heaven Grade as well, but even holding this one next to the memory of that one, the difference was obvious.

The auction pill had a slight cloudiness to it, the kind that came from imperfect refinement.

These were clear all the way through, the color uniform, the energy inside them stable and dense.

Flawless Purity wasn’t just a label.

He stored all three in his ring.

The one Mei had bought at the auction was already accounted for.

Sect Leader Hector had sent them here specifically to acquire it, which meant it was going back to the sect when they returned.

Sect Leader Hector would probably hand it to him or Ariel, since as far as the sect knew, neither of them could upgrade their roots through any other method.

Damon almost smiled at that.

Sect Leader Hector was generous with his resources, but generosity always came with expectations attached.

The pill was an investment in the tournament team, not a gift.

He would accept it graciously, thank the sect leader properly, and then quietly sell it later for spirit stones.

The three he had just bought from the system were already better in every measurable way.

There was no reason to use an inferior product when he had the real thing sitting in his ring.

He leaned back and looked at the ceiling again.

Damon look at his remaining point.

[Lust points: 4,050,000]

Seven million lust points before the purchases.

Now its just above four million after the pills and everything else from last night.

Still more than enough.

The tournament was eight months away, originally.

But with Sect Leader Hector pushing the timeline and the auction trip cutting into training weeks, the window was tighter than it looked.

He needed to think about what mattered most before they returned to the sect.

His cultivation was shown at True Spirit Realm Third Level with Polymorph.

His true realm was Heavenly Spirit Realm - First Level. As long as he kept the Polymorph with consistent climb of his cultivation.

There won’t be any suspicion against him.

Lumina was on the next door, probably awake and sitting somewhere in her suite trying to calm herself like Selene did when she peek them having sex.

’Since the girls quite loud, she probably heard it all.’ Damon thought.

He can’t wait about how she will act and how she gonna look at him tomorrow.

Ariel moved against his side, her fingers curling slightly against his chest without waking up.

He glanced down at her, at the slow rise and fall of her breathing, the faint color still in her cheeks from the night before.

He reached over and pulled the blanket up over her shoulder.

Then he sat up carefully, moving without disturbing anyone, and swung his legs off the bed.

He crossed to the window and looked out at Solaris City in the last stretch of darkness before dawn, the golden towers catching the first grey light at their peaks, the streets below still empty.

They had one more day here before they back to the sect.
