[Nothing significant—just 150 SP, Host!] Nora answered right away.
Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning how inexpensive the Divine-ranked technique was. "Great, I'll take it!" he instructed Nora, making the decision to purchase the technique for his mother.
[Understood, Host], Nora responded.
[Ding! 150 SP has been deducted! You have bought the Heavenly Twin Heart Manual! Please receive it from the system inventory!]
[SP remains: 830]
Yuan read the name of the technique, which closely matched his mother's physique, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why does it sound like something specifically created for Mom?"
[That's because this technique was designed specifically for twins. Once upon a time, during the Gods' Era, an Empress of the Celestial Heaven gave birth to two beautiful twin girls. The empress discovered that her daughters were unable to cultivate any of the techniques she had accumulated throughout her life, which numbered in the millions.]
[Determined to find a solution, she decided to create the best technique possible for her daughters. Within 100 years, she crafted the "Heavenly Twin Heart Manual," a Peak Divine-ranked technique tailored to their cultivation needs], Nora explained, delving into the history behind the technique Yuan had just purchased.
[Your mother has two hearts and two souls in a single body, and sooner or later, she will split her body into two with distinct personalities], Nora emphasized the uniqueness of Anna's physique.
"Wouldn't it be an issue if she split into two different individuals, each with their own will? What if one of them ended up marrying a stranger after leaving the house?" Yuan expressed his concerns about the potential future scenarios they might face.
As an otaku from Earth who recently transmigrated, he couldn't help but see Anna as more than just his mother.
[There's no need to worry too much. From the memories I've gathered from the previous owner, she seems to care for you just as much as Anna did. However, her personality may be a bit colder. There's nothing else to be concerned about!], Nora reassured Yuan, alleviating his worries. She emphasized that even though Anna would become two individuals, she would still be herself.
Yuan felt relieved after hearing Nora's explanation, as he had been pondering his mother's unique physical features and their potential implications.
"Dear, what are you so deep in thought about?" Anna questioned, casting a curious glance at Yuan, who seemed lost in his own world.
"Mom, there's nothing to worry about!" Yuan assured her, turning his attention to Lily and Emma, who were observing him with interest.
"Nora, are there any relevant techniques you can purchase for each of them? They would be thrilled if I presented them with something as well, especially Big Sis," Yuan suggested to Nora, seeing it as an effective way to win over Lily and Emma's hearts.
Nora contemplated Yuan's request before responding, [I can search for suitable techniques for them. It may take some time, but I will do my best to find something suitable for Lily and Emma.]
[Your sister has the Heavenly Yin body, a Divine-level physique. Unfortunately, it is regrettable that she was born in this world where people don't even understand what cultivation is. If she were born in the cultivation world, she would surely be the holy daughter of an Ice based sect], Nora explained, highlighting Lily's extraordinary potential.
[She can't cultivate right now because her body has accumulated a lot of mana. She must replace the mana with Qi to begin cultivating. There is only one option to convert her mana into Qi at this point, and that is to dual cultivate with her], Nora continued.
"Dual cultivation?" Yuan was taken aback when Nora brought up the concept. He was familiar with the idea from his extensive reading of novels on the subject.
"Is this the only option available to me? What about the other method you mentioned earlier?" he inquired, wanting to explore all possible alternatives.
[There are other ways to convert Qi into mana, but you are currently too weak to employ them on Lily. Your cultivation level must surpass the Spirit Emperor realms to be able to utilize those methods. With your talent, it is indeed possible to achieve that within 3 to 4 years.]
[However, dual cultivation will expedite the process, although it comes with certain risks, including the possibility of her losing her life. Therefore, it is not recommended to use those methods], Nora provided a thorough explanation.
Upon hearing Nora's explanation, Yuan felt a tinge of disappointment. However, he couldn't deny the intrigue he felt towards Lily, even though she was his blood relative. From the moment he first laid eyes on her after transmigrating, he had developed strong feelings for her.
He was also drawn to Emma, believing that she was destined to become one of his wives in the future. However, he couldn't persuade either of them to engage in a romantic relationship at this moment.
"What about Emma? Does she possess any special qualities like my mother and sister?" Yuan inquired, curious about Emma's potential.
[Due to your current low cultivation, I am unable to perceive anything from her. She may have a secret lineage, but it is purely speculation.]
[Special physiques are fundamentally different from bloodlines, which have their own unique characteristics and rank. Once she cultivates, she has a 30% chance of awakening her bloodline. I am certain of it!], Nora responded, shedding light on Emma's mysterious background.
"It seems like all my family members are incredibly special. Am I supposed to be this fortunate?" Yuan couldn't help but smile strangely, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Just purchase the techniques. I will talk to my family about the situation soon," Yuan instructed Nora, determined to provide his family with the tools for cultivation.

After purchasing the cultivation manuals, Yuan turned to face the three individuals who were eagerly watching him.
"It wouldn't be wise to keep them waiting any longer!" Yuan exclaimed, his gaze fixed on their beautiful faces. He carefully pulled out the three cultivation manuals from the system storage and placed them on the bed in front of their eyes.
As the three of them examined the books, they could sense the formidable and profound aura emanating from them. It was clear to them that these were no ordinary books. They couldn't help but wonder where Yuan had obtained such precious treasures.
"What are these books for, Young Master? They seem to be incredibly valuable!" Emma inquired, her curiosity piqued by the enigmatic nature of the books.
"I wonder what kind of wisdom these books hold!" Lily commented, her eyes still fixed on the intriguing volumes.
"Dear, could you please explain to us the purpose of these books?" Anna asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. She sensed a mysterious aura surrounding the books, igniting her interest.
The three books not only captured Emma's attention but also sparked the curiosity of Anna and Lily. They had no idea what the books were for and could only gaze at Yuan, seeking clarification.
Yuan looked at the three beautiful women in front of him and began to explain, "Mom and Big Sister! These books do not contain the knowledge you might expect. Instead, they hold cultivation techniques!"
Silence followed Yuan's revelation as the three women processed his words. Confusion and curiosity filled their faces.
"Cultivation methods? What exactly are they? I've never heard of such a thing before! Have you, Mom?" Lily asked, scratching the back of her head, unable to grasp the concept.
"No, I've never heard of it either. This is the first time it's come to my attention," Anna replied, mirroring Lily's confusion.
"I'm completely clueless too!" Emma admitted, her interest growing. The books exuded an air of mystery that captivated her senses.
Sensing their puzzlement, Yuan continued, "Mom, Big Sister, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Let me finish explaining before making any judgments. Cultivators are individuals who use cultivation methods to enhance their bodies and minds by absorbing spirit Qi, the energy of Heaven and Earth, into their bodies."
"Cultivators possess incredible power, capable of splitting the sea in half with a single sword strike or toppling mountains with a single blow. The more you cultivate and achieve breakthroughs, the more powerful you become."
He continued, "Cultivators aim to free themselves from the limitations of mortal bodies and achieve ultimate immortality. As cultivators, no matter how old you become, you will maintain a youthful appearance. 'Immortals' are said to live forever, never succumbing to old age."
He paused and displayed a small accumulation of spirit Qi in his hand to demonstrate his explanation.
"As you can see, I'm not a knight or a mage like you might think. I am a cultivator. Today marks the beginning of my cultivation journey, and my current level is quite low," Yuan explained, emphasizing his newly acquired abilities.
The Qi particles swirled around Yuan's palm, pleasantly surprising everyone present. They soon realized that it wasn't mana but a distinct energy called Qi. Giving him strange stares, they turned to face Yuan, their curiosity piqued.
"Please don't ask me how I obtained these because I can't disclose that information right now," Yuan apologized profusely, aware of their inquisitiveness.
"Dear, I won't press for answers if you don't feel comfortable sharing, but I do want to know if those books are meant for us?" Anna inquired, giving Yuan a nod. Lily and Emma turned to Yuan, eager to hear his response.
"They are indeed for you!" Yuan exclaimed with a smile. He then turned to Anna, extending the Heavenly Twin Heart Manual. "Mom, this method is known as the 'Heavenly Twin Heart Manual.' You possess a unique Mythic Rank physique called the 'Twin Heart Soul Body.' Due to this physique, you have been plagued by illness for years, as your body requires Qi to maintain its balance."
"This technique is specifically tailored for you. Once you become a cultivator, you will understand the reason behind your dual personality. At a certain cultivation level, you will be able to split into two individuals. I won't explain the intricacies of the body right now, but once you embark on your cultivation journey, it will become clear."
"Huh?... Mom, do you really have two personalities?" Lily questioned, astonished by the revelation.
"Well, I probably should have told you earlier, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. As Yuan mentioned, I have two personalities: Grace and myself, Anna. We both love you equally, so there's no need to dwell on it too much," Anna confessed, sighing with a tinge of regret.
"Mom and Emma, here, take these books," Yuan instructed, handing over the cultivation method to his mother and Emma.
"Sit in a lotus position, with crossed legs, and read the books. Follow the instructions diligently; it may take some time to comprehend the techniques. You might even need to read them repeatedly."
"Thanks, Dear/Young Master!" they expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Sigh! Being called 'Young Master' is a little awkward..." Yuan shook his head, letting out an internal sigh.
As Emma and his mother kissed each side of his cheek to show their appreciation, Yuan's heart fluttered. The affectionate gestures from these captivating women stirred his inexperienced emotions, causing a stir beneath his trousers.
"Damn! These sensations are overwhelming for a virgin like me to handle!" Yuan's inner voice exclaimed, taken aback by the surge of desire.
"Hey, little Yuan, did you forget about me?" Lily questioned, feeling ignored and left out.
"I also have a technique for you, but I can't share it with you just yet," Yuan retorted, attempting to explain.
"And why is that? Do you think I'm unfit for cultivation?" Lily averted her gaze, disappointment palpable. Her visage darkened as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
"You can't cultivate until the mana in your body is replaced with Qi. As a three-circle mage, you have trained extensively in mana, resulting in a substantial amount stored within you," Yuan clarified, providing the reasons for her current inability to cultivate.
