Exploitation of External Pleasures is a Miracle and the Manual that teaches it, that are learned from the Special Adventure The Demon Emperor's Tomb Opening.

Manual

It can be transcribed to the Manual Pavilion with the "Knowledge" option.

Miracle

 Exploitation of External Pleasures (AbsorbGong_5) has no cost, and can target any non-cultivator NPC of the same race as the cultivator.

The target gets the debuff "Exploitation of External Pleasures" with the following effect:

• +50% Mood Multiplier (AddP)
• -2 Social Contact Level (AddV)

That effect can be removed when recasting the Miracle on the same Target, and is otherwise permanent.

Every second on the map (not adventuring or camping), the caster receives $0.007 * TargetCharisma * \max(TargetMood - 160, 60 - TargetMood)$ base Inspiration and Cultivation experience, where the Mood considered is the Real Mood (capped at 200).

Every new day at midnight, the caster get a stack of the debuff "Exploited sympathy" per target (up to 50 stacks, lasts 1 day):

• -5 Base Mood Value (AddV)
• -5 Base Mental State (AddV)

For a target with 10 Charisma at 0 Mood, this Miracle grants 4.2 Base Inspiration per second, compared to 3 Base Inspiration from the "Train" Cultivating method, so the benefits come from numerous targets. However, as the actual Inspiration earned depends on Mental State, multiplying the targets without being able to control Mental State may lower the actual inspiration (and cultivation experience) earned.
