Realizing that their conversation was leading nowhere, they decided to just focus on their goal
Bringing out a spatial pouch from her pockets, she began moving all the gold, elixir, weapons, materials, artifacts and techniques into the pouch under the curious gaze of meng. The total asset amounting to about 50 million taels
Taels is the currency of this world but is shaped and colored like a golden coin
After about 10 minutes of non-stop collection and storage. They headed towards the legacies. Realizing that there were 5 legacies instead of just 3 made them more eager to choose.
The three girls headed towards the legacies with the fairy wing symbols on their cover while meng headed towards the 4th legacy with elongated fangs and wings on its cover as she felt the most connection towards it.
The four of them stood in front of their respective legacy manuals in respective order of ao ning, li ru, li xing, meng with the last one being empty.
According to the story, the first book contained the kinetic fairy's legacy, the second contained glass fairy's legacy, the third contained the presence fairy's legacy, the fourth contained the blood vampire's legacy and the fifth contained the golden giant's legacy.
Each of these legacy able to make massive ripples in the world.
The reason being that a legacy will reshape the body, mind and soul of its wielder. This unique ability could transform a weakling to a heaven defying genius. Though that mostly depends on the legacy and the will of the wielder.
The moment they touched the legacies, their destiny will be changed for the price of unimaginable pain. What's worse is that they cannot pass out or they will die
Communicating this information to meng, the girls saw her resolve to keep growing stronger and meng asked.
"can I be with asura forever if I am stronger?"
"yes, you can" li ru replied
"then I am not against it"
The fact that she wasn't deterred by pain or fear put meng in a positive light in their eyes. It was also now that they realized that meng also loved asura but was unsure of her feelings.
Deciding to put away the matter for now, they dealt more on the elephant in the room
Steeling their resolve, they touched the legacies and as expected were immediately assaulted by a pain unlike any other even dropping them to their knees immediately and eventually they all laid on the floor
The pain was expected yet they could have never been able to properly fully prepare for it
Throughout the process, they tried several ways to stay awake and sane ranging from biting their lips to literally using their nails to stab themselves.
Their bodies began changing visible to the naked eye. Their skins got fairer, hair becoming more lustrous and faces becoming more beautiful. The last of the legacy then levitated and started breaking apart into energy which was used to increase their cultivation base.
With the merge of the legacies, their previous cultivation base dropped to zero and impurities were flushed out in gaseous form as their bodies were heating up. The energy from the unused legacy then began advancing their cultivation base from rank 0 to rank 2 where it stabilized.
After the 'torture session' was over and the merge was over, for about 10 minutes neither of the girls moved and just laid there waiting for their senses to return.
The first to move was meng who stood up and immediately began walking around to shake off any residual numbness. The other girls followed soon after. One could easily notice the huge change.
All four of their beauty ratings skyrocketed from the average 6/10 to 8.5/10. They could also feel a vigorous power flowing through them.
As if by magic, the once empty room was once again filled with treasures. As meng approached it to begin collection, her hand was held by li ru.
"don't touch the treasure… this is a trap"
"oh… okay" meng replied sheepishly and retracted her hand
"lets just leave" ao ning said
"how?" meng questioned.
"just walk back the same way you came" li xing answered
With this, the four left the chambers back to the cave and met asura who was previously sleeping but when he felt their presence, he opened his eyes and was instantly shocked in place.
The four looked at his puzzled face and immediately began to chuckle.
They then decided to head to the entrance of the cave and wait for the rain to end before they leave for their home
