Lifeless Origin and Returning Lifefall

The Lifeless Origin Boundary Physique in of itself wasn't a particularly powerful or rare Boundary Physique. Unlike most Boundary Physiques it was actually something that could be acquired, rather than being innate.

It was a Boundary Physique that was given to a Fae Master after eating a Lifeless Fruit from a certain Fae material tree. The Fae material tree was a Rank 5 Fae material, and only a single fruit would be produced every thousand or so years.

The tree itself wasn't hard to grow, or difficult to manage, but seeds for the tree were almost impossible to find in the Thirty Three Heavens. As such, Fae Masters either tried to uproot the tree and move it to their own Sects or Clans, or just wait until the time was right, and then harvested the Lifeless Fruit.

The Law Image of the Lifeless Origin Boundary Physique was an origin essence liquid pond. It was some sort of Life Attributed Origin Essence Liquid Pond, one that was filled with a seemingly boundless amount of lifeforce and vitality, and was emanating a fresh and calming aura.

When Life Laws were used in conjunction to the Lifeless Origin Boundary Physique innate ability, their bodily fluids gained a trait similar to Origin Essence Liquid.

It wasn't something particularly known by Fae Masters and perhaps even Elder Raincloud didn't know such an ability existed. He was the one who compiled the information about these Boundary Physique wielders, and in the coming years, this "Lavinia" would comprehend the first level of Life Laws, giving rise to a storm the moment she was put on Auction.

There were only a few individuals across the Azure Envy Continent who were capable of requesting the purchase of Boundary Physique slaves. In fact, there were very few who wanted Boundary Physiques, perhaps only those old monsters who wanted to experiment or to create a new Boundary Physique....

If Arthur put a little bit of effort in, he could push Lavinia to the first level of Life Laws and use her in order to accelerate his own cultivation. Bodily fluids came in all different types, blood being the most abundant.

If he had to force her to learn Blood Laws as well, he wouldn't be losing out in terms of future gains.

Her daughter on the other hand....

'Returning Lifefall Boundary Physique.... one Law image and one innate ability....'.

Even someone like Arthur had never heard of the Returning Lifefall Boundary Physique. He was well versed in the numerous Physiques within the Thirty Three Heavens, and yet for the first time since his reincarnation, he had been stumped on a matter relating to Boundary Physiques.

The details of the Returning Lifefall Boundary Physique was slightly similar to Lavinia's Lifeless Origin Boundary Physique.

The Law Image was in the shape of a formless cloud of Origin Essence Liquid. It constantly shifted, transforming shape and form between liquid and vapour. It possessed a much more varied aura than the Lifeless Origin Law Image, one that couldn't be analysed fully.

Her ability on the other hand was....

"Condensing origin essence into.... lifeforce tears?".

That was certainly.... a peculiar ability.

Of course, the quality and quantity of lifeforce would be extraordinarily low, considering her cultivation. But these "tears" that Valentine would produce had been analysed by the Returning Galaxy Auction House and found that they improve health and remove impurities within mortals.

Eating healthy and keeping up a good level of fitness, in addition to eating these lifeforce tears everyday would guarantee a mortal could live beyond their years. 120 years of age for a mortal was quite a long time, and theoretically, a mortal could live to 150 if they also practiced martial arts.

It might be possible for it to have greater effects at higher levels, but being a bottom-tier third-tier talent, this "Valentine" didn't have much potential when it came to cultivation.

One could force her to cultivate, but no-one would waste such resources on a woman who didn't want to do anything. The Returning Galaxy Auction House wanted to try and sell her to some Fae Master, or Fae Immortal researching Boundary Physiques but it seems that Arthur got her first....

Elder Raincloud dismissed all the other women, before standing in front of Lavinia and Valentine, his eyes narrowed and his expression fierce.

"This young man has decided to purchase the two of you. He has upheld your conditions and purchased you both, so the Returning Galaxy Auction House will retain the entirety of the profits. In order to enforce the relationship between the three of you, you will be forced to ingest the tentacle of a Heart Restraint Worm. Is that understood?".

The two young women nodded, and Elder Raincloud handed the two women a metre-long, hair thickness sized wiggling tentacle, to which they immediately opened their mouths, swallowing with great difficulty.

Arthur was given a small spirit beast, which had wrapped itself in a layer of thick tentacles. It looked closer to a block of iron rather than a spirit beast, and Arthur immediately placed it in a Storage Fae before putting it back in his origin essence sea.

Heart Restraining Worms were how Fae Masters contracted Fae Master slaves. The tentacles that wrapped the main body were technically eggs that relied on blood in order to survive. These Heart Restraining Worms would be eaten by larger predators, and their tentacles would detach, seeking the most amount of blood within a living body.

They would wrap around the heart and slowly feed of the blood that coursed through their bodies. Eventually, they would hatch and drink up all the blood within a Fae Masters body. By the time this happened, unless some special Fae, or specific Laws had been perceived, it would be near impossible to resist the eventually that awaited all living creatures.

Death.

Arthur could control this spirit beast, which would then in turn control the fates of Lavinia and Valentine. This was the only option available to Fae Masters hoping to contract Fae Master slaves.

There were more advanced options, but Arthur could kill these two quite easily, so he didn't take more expensive measures.

Elder Raincloud eyed these two women carefully, narrowing his eyes at them.

"The connections between you two and the Returning Galaxy Auction House has no been completely severed. You will no longer receive the benefits as a contractor of the Auction House, nor will you receive the protection as a contractor of the Auction House. Everything in your lives will be afforded to you at your Masters whim, is that understood?".

Both Lavinia and Valentine nodded.

Elder Raincloud snorted a little, not bothering to look at either of them.

To him, Fae Masters without any potential had little value in this world. The only reason why he talked for so long, was because it made his Auction House money, and it created a connection between the Boundless Forest Yearning and themselves.

Arthur smiled slightly, gazing at the figures of the two women. Valentine seemed slightly confused as to why someone so young was able to purchase the two of them, but equally as apprehensive about being purchased by a man.

She may be immature, but she wasn't stupid.

Lavinia on the other hand was feeling....

"There is no need to feel so worried or confused as I'll clear that up right now. You two will serve me in every single manner that a woman can serve a man. You will be clothed, fed, protected and taken care of by myself. This is not a negotiation".

Lavinia opened her mouth to speak, but glanced at Elder Raincloud.

Her obvious action was noticed by Arthur and he raised his hand and gestured for her to speak.

The beautiful woman nodded.

"Young master. Part of the reason why we both had not been purchased until today was due to the fact that the Walker Clan would undoubtably target whomever makes such a purchase. They possess numerous Rank 5 Fae Masters. Since you have purchased us they will more than likely come after you in pursuit of us.....".

Elder Raincloud smiled slightly, shaking his head.

Arthur too just waved Lavinia off.

"That won't be too much of a problem. Whatever does happen will not bother myself in the slightest".

Even if the Walker Clan did hear about Lavinia and Valentine being purchased all Arthur would need to do was sell them back to the Returning Galaxy Auction House. Wait a few years in order to become stronger and then annihilate the small Clan.

Without any Fae or special Fae materials, Arthur would become a Rank 5 Fae Master by the time he was 50, perhaps even 60. With Fae and with Origin Essence Liquid Ponds, perhaps Arthur could do it with 10, maybe 15 years.

After that, he would venture down the road to becoming a Fae Immortal.

That was the path that Arthur sought after. The limits of existence in this World.
