Embark on this journey with Lu Zheng and see what is next to come
-------------
The genre is Xianxia. Characters in the novel absorb energy (Qi) from their surroundings and use it as the basis of their strength.
-------------
**Character is reincarated and will receive strong powerscaling and a fair level of omnipotence at the beginning. 
**Contrary to the title of the book, there are will be very little amounts of sexual relations. When there are (cuz there will be), expect them not to consume too much of the chapter.

**In case you are expectant of what the novel might have to offer and what it won't,
- There is NO yuri, NO yaoi, NO incest
- There will be NO mentions of rape (thank goodness)
- MC will HAVE an harem

This is my first novel so the first chapters are a bit rough but I promise, the writing gets fine tuned as the story progresses. I have received offers to go premium but I would prefer The Licentious Cultivator (LC for short) to remain free till the very end.

**WARNING: LC is a product of me playing around. I can't promise regular updates but I always stock up on chapters in my drafts whenever I have the time.

P.S.: Feel free to leave a review and comment. They give me that extra 'hoompf'

Enjoy XD

The Licentious Cultivator

Lu Zheng flew into the sky and was about to leave when Houyan Meili spoke.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment before replying: "Lu Clan"

"Not your human family" Houyan Meili rolled her eyes. "I mean your Vermillion Bird Race family"

Lu Zheng was suddenly short of words. His mind raced for a while before recalling something: "The Sleid Family, I believe"

Houyan Meili was shocked: "You originate from the Sleid Imperial Family?"

"Hmm" Lu Zheng nodded. "Darmian Sleid's family"

"Impossible! Let me see your Vermillion True Flame" Houyan Meili demanded.

Lu Zheng was confused by Houyan Meili's change in attitude but he accepted.

A drop of Vermillion Blood rose from his palm before combusting into the crimson Vermillion True Flame.

"It is true!" Houyan Meili's eyes widened in shock. "You are the last living member of the Sleid Imperial Family!"

Lu Zheng's confusion grew: "Imperial Family?"

Houyan Meili stared at him like he was joking but soon, she noticed that his confusion was real.

"It is natural for you not to know of these matters since you are only a half-blood"

Houyan Meili muttered. "The Vermillion Bird Race is made up of thirteen Imperial Families from which the other minor families came from. My Houyan Family and your Sleid Family are two of the Imperial Families"

The pink and red Vermillion True Flame combusted before Houyan Meili as she continued: "The Vermillion True Flame and the wings are unique symbols of every Imperial Family. All Imperial Families have Vermillion True Flames made up of a mixture of fire path and another path, except for the Sleid Family"

Lu Zheng stared at the Vermillion True Flame in his hand which burnt with a crimson glow and then at Houyan Meili's which was a mix of pink and red.

"My Houyan Family has bloodline abilities related to fire path and soul path while the Sleid Family has the purest bloodline with purely fire path bloodline abilities" Houyan Meili explained as her tone grew serious. "That is because the Sleid Family are the direct descendants of Reverend Great Flame"

All he knew about the Vermillion Bird Race came from his previous lifetime as Xue Ritian and the Vermillion Codex.

Understanding finally dawned on Lu Zheng: "That is why there are thirteen copies of the Vermillion Codex"

"You have the Sleid Imperial Family's Vermillion Codex?" Houyan Meili's tone was of surprise.

"No, it is with my father" Lu Zheng replied. He did not bother to explain that the Vermillion Codex was far away in another realm.

"Why did you say I am the last member of the Sleid Imperial Family?" Lu Zheng asked.

His curiosity about the Vermillion Bird Race had peaked.

In his lifetime as Xue Ritian, the little he could learn about the Vermillion Bird Race came from legends and the Vermillion Bird captives he had during his search for Darmian.

The Vermillion Bird Race lived in isolation in Holy Flame City which was located in the northernmost part of Northern Desert.

After the Second Great War, the Four Regal Bloodlines had sworn to stay in their separate territories in isolation.

It was an agreement that had been followed till this moment. Only a few Vermillion Birds ever left Holy Flame City and even then, they usually never returned.

Houyan Meili's expression turned sour: "The Hou Imperial Family grew power hungry and declared war against the other Imperial Families. The Sleid and Houyan Imperial Families were the first to be attacked"

"I understand" Lu Zheng nodded. "We should be returning to Chang Court now"

"How many paths do you cultivate?" Houyan Meili had a curious expression.

Lu Zheng smiled faintly as he raised his two hands: "Seven"

Houyan Meili lost her composure and exclaimed in surprise: "Seven!?"

Lu Zheng smiled softly before spatial skipping a short distance away: "Come on. Let us go"
