After the meal Paul cast the healing spell again and he felt that his spinal cord was once again fully reattached.
He had felt like his whole lower body was shocked by electric current as the nerves were once again connected and answered to his commands.
Before he could feel his legs but he was unable to move them.
Now that all changed as he tried to move his legs and they did move.
It was painful since he neglected his Qi cultivation and the muscles and tendons were not in the best shape after such a long time of not being used but it was a great feeling to be able to move his whole body once again.
The girls watched this and they were happy for him as this meant that he would be able to walk again.
-Ladies,help me get up.
Paul said and they both came to help him.
It took some effort but soon he was standing on his own feet,even though he had to lean on the girls since his legs were not able to support him just yet.
Then he took his first step. It was painful and shaky but it was a milestone for him as he managed to achieve this once again and a lot faster than in his previous life.
It was hard for the sisters to hold him upright as he was heavy and even if they were stronger now,they were still too weak to hold him for long.
-Thank you,you can put me down now.
Paul said to the girls and they gently sat him down.
He was happy that he had finally reached this stage and that night he planned to raise his Qi cultivation as this was the easiest and fastest way to restore his legs, muscles and tendons to their normal state.
As the girls went to sleep after their day of fun and bathing in the river,he went to his usual spot and started cultivating after undressing.
The hours went by and he managed to rise two levels before midnight as he was close to breaking through one when he started and he cultivated another one.
He decided to take a bath after each breakthru as the stench really hindered his concentration especially since there were more and more impurities being discharged each time he gained a level.
By the dawn he was almost at level 26 but he decided that it was enough as he needed some rest for now.
He bathed for the last time and dressed himself then he went to the shelter to get some sleep.
Both girls were soundly asleep when he dragged his body inside and when he lay down to sleep both girls hugged him while they were still sleeping as if they were waiting for him to come and be their pillow and personal teddy bear.
It was ironic that in his previous life he only got a girlfriend after his younger step sister introduced him to one of her friends and even when they were together for over three years he had barely got a kiss on a cheek from her.
In the end it turned out that his girlfriend was just another way for his father's family to control him and she was sleeping with his younger step brother behind his back.
She even drugged him so he was defenseless when these bastards came to capture him and she also watched them torment him.
She even added her two cents by telling him that she never loved him and would be married to his step brother soon, as they were a couple all this time.
What's more she ridiculed him for being a simp and for never taking the initiative to do anything with her.
This stung him as he just wanted to be a gentleman and not force her to do anything she didn't want to do.
Now she was on the list of the people that he would make pay for what they did to him.
On the other hand right now he was in bed with two beauties that were at least ten times more beautiful than his ex-girlfriend and they both hugged him even when they were asleep.
What's more he was almost certain that if he wanted to he could make both of them his women and they wouldn't protest. they might even be happy to give their bodies to him.
Paul knew that this was most likely the case but he decided to wait for it some more as there were better places for this kind of activity and he also didn't want the girls to make a rash decision about it and regret it later.
He knew that he was falling for them and it shocked him to discover his feelings especially when it wasn't just for one of them but both.
This wasn't a problem as bigamy was a normal thing in this world and it went both ways.
Some men had dozens of wives and hundreds of concubines,the only barrier was wealth as you had to be able to provide for your family.
On the other hand there were women that had dozens of husbands and even more lovers.
This was all perfectly fine as long as they all were at least fourteen years old as this was the age at which they were considered adults.
Paul stopped thinking about these things and closed his eyes,joining the girls in the dream land.
He woke up at noon and he was alone in the bed as the ladies were outside cultivating their mana.
He got out of the shelter and prepared a meal for them all after which he took out two longer branches from his storage space that had the shape of the letter "Y" and started to work on them as he wanted to be able to walk on his own so he needed crutches.
It took him a while to adjust the branches to his height and to tie some paracord around the upper part to help support him but he managed to craft them.
It took a lot of effort for him to get up but once he did and supported himself with the crutches he could move around more easily and he now wouldn't have to crawl everywhere.
The commotion brought the attention of the girls who were impressed that their master could finally walk using these strange items they had never seen before.
-Master, what are these?
Maya asked,as curious as always.
-They are called crutches and they are used to allow the people to walk when their legs are injured or just too weak to support them.
Paul explained.
He also sensed that both girls advanced another two levels in mana making them reach level 18.
Two more levels and he would be able to teach them some uses of mana like lighting a fire or creating water.
These weren't spells but they were useful in everyday life and could be used as a good exercise to understand the differences between the elements.
-Maya where did you get this stone from?
Paul finally noticed the emerald like stone that was tied to her knife sheath with a little bit of paracord.
-I found it in the river when we were bathing yesterday.
Paul was shocked at this.
If he was right then this piece of stone was a Qi stone and it was worth a lot since they were hard to come by as most of the spots that they could be found at were monopolized by sects and powerful families and they were not sharing them too often.
-Can you show me where you found it?
He asked.
The girl nodded,not understanding his strange questions.
The rock was pretty and she liked it,that is why she had tied it to her knife sheath as a decoration.
It looked like an emerald and was around three centimeters across and one centimeter thick.
Basically it looked like a coin with some rugged edges.
-Master,is this kind of rock precious?
The girl asked.
-I think that you just found a Qi stone and it is a very precious thing.
Paul explained to her.
