Great Harvest

For the completion of the triple trouble quest, you have received the following passives, effective immediately:

Current And Future Wives/Maids/Servants Receive A Substantial Increase In Fertility, Childbearing, and Birth-Giving Capabilities

Own Fertility Increased Greatly

Cross-Breeding With Compatible Species Has Far Greater Chances To Result In Viable Offspring

Cultivation Talent Increases Across The Board

Your Original Bloodline Increases In Might And Dominance

Immediately upon checking the newly gained passives, he felt their effects wash over him and spread outward. Although some of them were a bit harder to get a good feel of... He certainly felt his body react.

First, his inner energies, which, thanks to his sasquatch physique, were always moving even without his input, seemed to improve in quality, flowing more efficiently. It also seemed as though he gained insight into the techniques he was currently practising. He felt that when he tried to practise them next time, he would have a surge of progress.

His energy did not actually improve in quality. He simply gained a subconscious understanding of how to make it flow more smoothly. This was the effect of increased cultivation talent as a passive.

Though what was more prominent was the effect upon his original bloodline. For a moment, he thought that this referred to that of the Cannibal Sasquatch Lord, but no--His 'original' was the one he had possessed from the very beginning. This original bloodline had effortlessly swallowed and dominated the foreign bloodline, seamlessly integrating and fusing with it.

But right now, it felt as though the Cannibal Sasquatch Lord Bloodline had never been so powerless. As the original bloodline was empowered and its control improved, the foreign bloodline was utterly seized, becoming one with Edrick once and for all. Overall, this changed nothing, as the bloodline had been integrated thoroughly already. But Anoteros could tell that now, it was as though he had never absorbed another bloodline.

Cultivators could not just stack multiple bloodlines at once. Only those who were born and inherited bloodlines from their parents would normally have multiple fused together into one.

Overall, this meant that the number of bloodlines Edrick was capable of having at the same time had just increased, or rather, that a slot had just been freed.

There was no longer any distinction between the Cannibal Sasquatch Lord Bloodline and his own, which should also increase the chances of passing it on to his descendants by a fair amount.

‘Mmh… That’s pretty impressive…’ he felt that he had room for multiple bloodlines anyway, but it was very much welcome. It also told him that he could potentially strengthen his original bloodline again and again as he earned new foreign ones, potentially stacking as many of them as he wanted.

But he did not stay on the same topic forever. He had acquired other passives as well. The last two had the most noticeable effect on him, but the others… He felt as though the system was sending him a message right now.

‘Do you want me to make babies this badly?’

I just think it would be neat

‘I didn’t know that passives could be applied to others besides myself…’ Edrick merely shrugged at the system’s response. It was on brand with its personality. It had probably found it intriguing when Anoteros had impregnated Muxing, resulting in a sasquatch offspring.

It was simply curious what other monstrosities could be spawned.

The fact that the system used ‘substantial’ when describing the effects of the passives granted to his wives, maids, and servants was rather telling. It was usually careful with the language used in that department, so ‘substantial’ meant that the improvement was actually significant.

If Edrick had to guess, coupled with his own incredible fertility, which had already been through the roof to begin with, he could probably turn the residence into a giant breeding house.

‘It says that my fertility has increased greatly as well…’ he should consider offering his services to those old female cultivators. He could surely single-handedly solve their problem of childlessness.

The last passive was an interesting one. He had heard how cross-breeding was possible, but that the majority of half-breeds would be born with a whole lot of problems. Only a handful of species could mate with humans without producing disastrous results.

From what he had heard, some species of elves, orcs, and very human-looking beastfolks were the only ones, and even then, it wasn’t guaranteed.

The exceptions were species that were built for cross-breeding, such as a rare sort of goblin rumoured to have been hunted down to extinction. Still, even then, it wasn’t true cross-breeding, as the child would always be a full-blooded goblin, with only rare instances of inheriting something from the other parent.

It might not look like much, but it was a powerful ability to be able to breed with any compatible species without having to worry about the child that would come out of that union. In fact, it could probably allow him to herald some peace treaties between species.

A perfect hybrid child had more power than one might imagine.

Next, Edrick turned to the improvement brought to Cleansing Elixir, his most-used innate ability alongside Balls To The Wall.

Elixir Upgrade - Greatly Improved Potency And Control. Wives, Maids, And Servants Can Now Process The Effects More Efficiently

The upgrade was… Good, nothing groundbreaking, just a pure improvement of Cleansing Elixir’s capabilities. The elixir could now be further empowered, and Edrick also had a much firmer hold on it. The ability for those who were devoted to him being able to process the effects more efficiently was especially important.

They would benefit even more. And in turn, as they improved, Anoteros would be the one benefiting.

And lastly, there was something else that he had earned, but not through the system as a reward for the mission, but due to his use of Five-Legged Devil Goat Physique on all three of the Oie family's women.

Alpha Gander - All Geese Species, As Well As Closely Related Species, Will Be Naturally More Inclined To Being Friendly To You. You Become More Alluring To Those That You Consider To Your Tastes In That Group, And More Intimidating To The Rest

The ability itself was reminiscent of the effects his acquired bloodline had upon sasquatches and the likes. He wasn’t certain how common geese creatures were, but as far as the ability went, it was a good one.

What was more interesting, however, was the fact that his technique considered Jania, Tylia, and Milerva to constitute a group, and that bedding all three of them was enough to result in a newly acquired ability.

‘So theoretically, if I did the same to enough women in the Xing or Zhenniao clan, I would also acquire an ability relating to the clan itself?’

Anoteros rubbed his hands together.

That was a good thing to know.
