Chapter 71: Pleasure Sword?!
Burning Sun Peak Pavilion…
In the inner court near the third aura tree, Fatty Lambu sat with a depressed face.
The spirit crane also sat under the tree without making a single sound, while the mountain eagle was missing from its usual place.
Even after thinking for a long time, Fatty could not understand why Mo Han had given up his chance to become a main peak disciple.
Fatty Lambu had tried to persuade Mo Han to approach Elder Ping of the Academy Library. If Elder Ping said a single word, Mo Han would directly become a disciple of the main peak without any fights.
But Mo Han completely ignored Fatty's suggestion. He didn't want to go and beg Elder Ping for a spot on the main peak.
"What the hell is he doing inside for hours?" Fatty Lambu muttered in a low tone.
Since returning from the Administration Hall, Mo Han had locked himself inside the servant dorm.
Fatty Lambu thought Mo Han was feeling sad for missing the chance to become a disciple of the main peak.
What Fatty Lambu didn't know was that Mo Han was actually searching for cultivation techniques that would suit his heaven-defying Yin-Yong Sword Saint Physique.
Even though Mo Han was already at the stage of Qi Condensation Master, he still needed to choose and practice one base cultivation method that would decide the course of his entire cultivation journey.
"I can understand Brother Han's situation… but where did Lady Jia Kai go? She disappeared since morning. Also, she took the mountain eagle with her. Did she fly to a distant place?" Fatty Lambu spoke to himself while touching the storage ring on his finger. The thousands of spirit stones were still inside the storage ring.
The crowd that had previously gathered had already dispersed, now busy with their own affairs after finally getting clarity about the spirit crane. Almost everyone inside the sect disliked the idea of a servant having a spirit pet… sadly, none of them could do anything about it.
The matter had already reached the ears of Main Peak disciple Jong, who almost smashed several wine bottles in anger after hearing the news.
But something had changed inside the sect since the arrival of the spirit crane. Many people had started to see Mo Han in a new light.
Previously, all their doubts about Mo Han had been completely wiped away, and now everyone believed that he was truly an heir to the prestigious Han family.
Ron Lee had also stopped planning revenge against Mo Han. He swallowed the humiliation, not wanting to feud with the wealthy young master of the Han family.

Meanwhile…
Inside the servant dorm, Mo Han sat in lotus position, eyes closed, going through the memories given by Prince Leo Reynolds.
The cultivation knowledge of Leo Reynold was a great gift for Mo Han, who had come from the modern world.
He went through all types of cultivation methods known to Leo Reynolds. He found several powerful sword-based cultivation techniques, as well as hundreds of techniques for dual cultivators.
But cultivation techniques that combined both dual cultivation and sword arts were very rare.
After searching for hours, he finally located three cultivation techniques that could synergize well.
The first one was Pleasure Sword of Eternal Temptation, which had nine sub-levels to master. By practicing this cultivation method, one could master both healing and sword techniques.
The second was Bewitching Poison Sword of Night Saint, with eleven sub-levels to master. This method allowed mastery of poison arts and mirage sword techniques.
The last one was Heavenly Sword of Pleasure Saint, with thirteen sub-levels to master. This method granted mastery over the heavenly sword and alchemy-based pleasure healing.
Mo Han spent a long time reading every detail about these three cultivation methods.
At last, he had to choose only one. Each had its own benefits and dangers.
For example, the Pleasure Sword of Eternal Temptation could make him a slave to a woman's body. He wouldn't be able to control himself—even against his own family—and would turn into a manly beast.
The second, Bewitching Poison Sword of Night Saint, could turn him into a poison freak with a sinister mind. His sword was already a cursed blade, always craving blood. Mo Han did not want himself to be a poison-expert.
The final one, Heavenly Sword of Pleasure Saint, had a major flaw—it required continuous dual cultivation for his entire life. If he stopped for more than one full moon cycle, his body would slowly rot and deteriorate like a mature flower.
"The life of a dual cultivator is definitely hell. Why is there a backlash for every cultivation method? Is it because their cultivation is too easy?" Mo Han muttered in frustration after going through all three methods.
He was in great dilemma. Even after thinking for hours, he couldn't decide on a single cultivation method.
Out of frustration, he stopped thinking and came out of his room. It was already dark, and the entire courtyard was empty.
Fatty Lambu's snores could be heard from inside a closed door.
While thinking about what to do next, Mo Han began walking around the aura tree in the courtyard.
He wondered whether taking the path of dual cultivation was truly the right choice.
Dual cultivation was almost a taboo in the eyes of many in this world. But for a man who had once lived as a brothel manager and experienced life as a master with many wives, the idea didn't bother him.
Moreover, Prince Reynold had clearly told Mo Han— 'Do whatever it takes to improve your cultivation. Everything is fair in the pursuit of power.'
Just as Mo Han was thinking about gathering more details on dual cultivation, the loud cry of the mountain eagle came from the distant sky.
Soon, with a gust of wind, the mountain eagle landed close to Mo Han. Lady Jia Kai, seated upon its back, stepped down with a smile.
"Seems like the beast has already developed affection for you," Jia Kai commented jokingly while patting the mountain eagle.
Mo Han only smiled, rubbing the beak of the mountain eagle in a playful manner.
