THE DAO OF LIES AND DECEIT

CHAPTER 8

Jang was feeling elated and depressed at the same time. On the one hand, he had managed to break through 2 layers simultaneously , which he had never been able to accomplish before. For a brief moment, Jang had imagined that he'd be able to progress to the next layer and attain powers that he'd always dreamed of, only for the hope to be taken away from him in an instant. Jang had  tried again and again with other girls in other brothels, but no cultivation progress materialised. The only thing he'd got from his mysterious cultivation intaface after a month of trying to pleasure girls was a  Skill called ' Body modification and spirit Obfuscation'.

It was a useful skill that allowed Jang to change his body and modify his Qi signature. With this skill, Jang could change his body and his Qi signature, making him impossible to identify. It could become useful to Jang if ever wanted to leave the sect and start over again, but no matter where he went, he still wouldn't be able to advance. The truth was that Jang could make himself look like the most handsome man in existance and still wouldn't be able to find a female cultivator to practice his path of pleasure and satisfaction because of his low cultivation and lack of connections. Not to mention somehow obtaining a sect token for his alternate identity to gain entry into the sect in the first place.

Two months after Jang had his breakthrough, his joy had turned to ash. Repeated sessions in the cultivation halls and the bed of mortal courtesans had failed to yield any results. Jang was returning, feeling dejected from one of his sessions in the cultivation hall when he ran into Bo again.

" Good morning, brother Jang. Great session today huh?" Bo asked, displaying his usual carefree smile. Preventing himself from scowing, Jang gueted Bo with none of the energy and enthusiasm that Bo displayed.

" Brother Jang, someone told me that you have been visiting the brothels rather frequently. I hope you're not still pining after her ".
" What are you talking about brother Bo?"Jang asked, this time failing to hide the scowl from his face. Bo seemed completely unaffected as he continued
" You know, the Qi deviated female cultivator that was supposed to show  up at that brothel. I heard that it was some inner disciple that won the bid to enjoy her. Alas, such is the fate of outer disciples like us." Bo funshed with a dramatic flourish.
Jang didn't bother replying and just nodded as he hoped his lack of enthusiasm in the conversation might be enough to get rid of Bo faster.

" I'll tell you what Brother Jang, I would've died a  happy man the next day if only I'd had the oppurtunity to lie with a cultivator girl. Just imagine, no need to hold back your strength and senses. I'd have emptied out my entire savings just to experience that." Bo said as he continued wallking beside  Jang. Bo was so involved in his ruminations that it was a couple of steps before he noticed that Jang was no longer walking with him.

" Brother Jang, Are you okay?" Bo asked with some concern as he saw Jang standing there with a stricken look on his face.
"I'm fine brother Bo, I just remembered something important pending things. Excuse me".
Bo watched as Jang took off, almost sprinting towards his rooms.

Once inside and he had locked the doors, Jang let out a shaky breath before calling forth the  screen infront of his eyes to check the past messages. His cultivation path specified giving sexual pleasure to partners in the same realm and above. The  path wasn't restricted by the gender of the partners, . He had subconsciously made the assumption that it meant women. Jang walked to the mirror in his room before removing his robes and letting it fall tothe ground. He brought to mind the image of the prettiest mortal girl he knew and channeled his Qi.

When Jang opened his eyes, there was an extremely voluptuous and pretty woman staring back at him. she had violet hair and eyes and facial features similar to that of Flower moon, but it was also evident that the  girl in the mirror was not not Flower moon, for she was much prettier.
She had no flaws in her skin that even a cultivator would be able to pick out. Her face showed perfect symmetry that could tempt men to fight wars over it, while her body's every inch was covered with flawless porcelin skin. Her big round breasts stood there perfectly , defying gravity itself.

Moving down, her perfectly flat and toned stomach gave way to soft jiggly buttocks that could drive a man mad even if they had never glimpsed her face. After being momentarily stunned, Jang picked up his sect identification token. He couldn't help but notice that the  girl in the mirror looked even more enticing with every movement she made.

Jang channeled his adjusted Qi signature ento the token and it failed to respond. With this body and Qi no one would be able to identify him. With this, he could have a way forward with his cultivation, but the price he had to pay would be steep.
