That last call was far more profitable than I expected not only was I able to get my next ghost but I also acquired a living artifact and an artificer who was apparently none to bothered by my less than good persuasion especially when I told her that I was willing help her that I could give her a cleansing like I had with Dinara infact she seemed so eager that she didn't bother asking whether or not I was an alchemist although I don't think she would care.
The ride home was nothing special and completely uneventful but as soon as we arrived the building manager immediately stopped me.
building manager: Are you the individual that is living in unit eight?
Me: That's correct what is this about?
building manager: It has come to our attention that you are harboring ghosts within your residence...
Judy became nervous hearing about this from the manager and became worried about what would happen but there was no way I would allow a clerical minion disrespect me in front of my home so before this got out of hand I needed to put him in his place.
Me: That's none of your concern
building manager: You are putting the rest of the tenants at risk so it...
Me: Not your concern if you dare attempt to meddle in my affairs again I'll have you fired, no better I'll have you ruined if you apply to work as a brothel janitor they would shred your resume am I understood
building manager: Yes
Me: Good, now I believe that you owe me an apology
building manager: Huh!?
Me: You just harassed me outside of my home doesn't that merit an apology?
building manager: Uh Yes! I'm sorry for harassing you sir!
Me: Good now fuck off
The building manager immediately scampered away doing his absolute best to stay out of my way as Judy and I made our way back home and as much as I would like to break through the next tier it would have to wait until I can make time to visit a sufficient brothel so for now I decided to Dinara help Judy setup her lab in one of the unclaimed rooms while I got to brewing the cleansing medicine the setup was exactly the same as last time when I first did this Dinara.
Me: Last chance to back out once you are mine to serve me in life and in death forever
Judy: There is no way I would ever give up the opportunity to be more than just a common woman forced to bow my head I'd rather only have one master that can provide a better future than countless that would use me and toss me aside from now on I am yours and yours alone
Me: Very well let us not waste anymore time
Judy: My thoughts exactly time for the ultimate upgrade I'm done being powerless
Due to the various various types of artificial implants in her body like her eye a few bones and what appears to be a an artificial energy core in her body I would first need to saturate her body with demonic power and slowly remove the impurities from her body manually rather than letting her body go through a natural cleansing so as to not overwhelm her artificial parts before slowly allowing her body to undergo refinement so that her can truly be in sync and evolve accordingly in the future on its own by the time I was finished Judy was deep in meditation slowly shedding her humanity to become a true demonic cultivator.
Although I always intended to build my demonic sect I never expected that it would develop so quickly I might soon have to look for a place settle and set up my sect much earlier than I anticipated but fortunately I still have time as it is only the three of us at the moment and I still need to raise my cultivation so we aren't immediately destroyed by the other existing sects or forced into shitty territory although it would be easier to take it wouldn't have much prestige so it isn't worth considering unless I find something worthwhile but for now I need to worry about classes and school.
