Yue Xuan's gaze fixated on the section of the Cultivation Point Store dedicated to servants. The notion of acquiring loyal aides to support him on his journey stirred his curiosity and raised countless questions in his mind. "It even sells servants, but how?" he pondered. "Where do they come from? Are they mere puppets, or are they living beings with their own consciousness and abilities?"
Intrigued by the possibilities, he directed his thoughts towards the system, seeking answers. "How are these servants collected?" he inquired silently, his frown deepening. He hoped the system would provide some insights into the origins and nature of these intriguing entities.
To his disappointment, the system replied with a concise yet unsatisfying response: "No information available."
Yue Xuan's brows furrowed as he contemplated the enigmatic nature of these servants. The lack of clarity left him with a sense of intrigue and a desire to unravel the mystery surrounding their acquisition. While he yearned for more information, he understood that some secrets might be beyond his current knowledge.
Undeterred, he made a mental note to explore this topic further in the future. There were still many realms to discover, realms where these servants might originate from.
As Yue Xuan delved deeper into the Servants section of the Cultivation Point Store, a comprehensive list unfurled before his eyes. The assortment of available servants was vast and diverse, catering to various needs and preferences. The system presented him with a range of options, each with distinct roles and ranks:

Each category within the Servants section had its own hierarchy of ranks, denoting the skill, experience, and capabilities of the individuals available. From low-ranking foot soldiers to high-ranking generals, the options were abundant.
Yue Xuan's gaze traversed the list, considering the potential benefits and implications of each choice. While the allure of commanding an army or having a loyal general by his side enticed him, he also recognized the value of having discreet and persuasive courtesans to navigate social and political realms.
Yue Xuan's curiosity piqued as he considered the potential benefits of cultivating with the female courtesans available in the Cultivation Point Store. With a determined gaze, he directed his thoughts towards the system, posing his question:
"System, can the female courtesans become cultivation partners?"
In response, the system swiftly displayed a prompt on the screen, its concise message conveying the answer to his query:

The notion of cultivating alongside a skilled and willing partner presented new possibilities for his cultivation journey. It hinted at the potential for shared insights, heightened energy circulation, and a deeper connection on both physical and spiritual levels.
