Chapter 6

Back at her place, Yun Chuyou released a demon beast and a regular beast she had caught earlier. After eating the meat given by the system, they looked lively and showed no signs of discomfort.

However, this only proves that the pork is not highly toxic. What if it has side effects from long-term use? She marked off two areas in the empty space behind her house and built a pen with ironwood materials given by the system, then fed them another piece of meat from the system.

She decided to observe for a month and compare their states before and after. Yun Chuyou has always been very careful, especially after her past experiences in the lab.

By the way, having only two animals is too few, and the variable is too small, so she went to knock on the Junior Martial Brother’s door.

The latter heard the familiar knocking sound and happily jumped out of the room, "Elder Martial Sister, what do you need from me?"

"I have an important task for you."

Yun Chuyou said seriously, "Meng He, do you see the fence behind your house? I just made two animal pens. The left one is for ordinary beasts, and the right one is for demon beasts. Tomorrow, you need to catch a few more and bring them here. We need both spirit beasts and ordinary beasts to put in these two pens."

She didn’t have much experience taking care of children, but she knew she couldn’t do everything herself. Only by letting the disciples participate more in building the sect would they feel more pride in being a group.

Yun Chuyou made it clear that she wasn’t just making Meng He do all the hard work, "The younger martial sister is too weak, and the Second Junior Brother is still sick. I can only rely on you now; I know you can do it."

Although this Junior Martial Brother seemed a bit silly and had a bump on his head, he was very strong. Being simple-minded isn’t all bad; at least he is easy to guide.

Under the moonlight, the pretty girl looked at him with full trust; her eyes shone brighter than the moon and sparkled more than the stars.

That’s right, the master is old, the junior brother is weak, and the younger martial sister is fragile; Elder Martial Sister is working so hard, and now they can only rely on themselves in Qingxu Sect.

Realizing that this family couldn’t function without him, Meng He’s heart was filled with a sense of responsibility he had never felt before. He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, filled with Elder Martial Sister’s earnest hopes. The boy thumped his chest, his fist hitting his strong muscles with a sound like a drum, thump thump echoing.

He confidently said, "Don’t worry, this task is on me. I promise I won’t let you down, Elder Martial Sister."

Yun Chuyou nodded with satisfaction and was about to turn back when she suddenly thought of Meng He’s way of working. She wasn’t worried about whether he could complete the task, but about him exceeding the requirements too much.

If she didn’t give clear instructions, this energetic wild wolf might fill both animal pens. Imagining those little animals all crowded together, chattering in those small spaces, Yun Chuyou quickly added, "Just catch 7 regular demon beasts each. Ideally, one pair of adult beasts and five baby beasts, and they need to be alive."

Both animals in the pen were young. She thought that young creatures were a bit weaker, so if the meat was really harmful, they would show signs quickly.

"Is that all?" Meng He thought. He had expected a dangerous task, but it was just catching a few small beasts, which seemed too easy. How could he show his worth with such simple work?

"That’s all," Yun Chuyou emphasized. She knew this would happen, so she stressed again, "Too much is not good, and the ones raised on the mountain taste better. These are for a little research."

"Alright!" Meng He asked, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

He felt that he could finish such an easy task in half an hour.

"No, it’s getting late. You should head back to practice. These are just minor tasks; your practice is more important."

The master leads one to the door, but the practice is up to the individual. Right now, she has nothing much to teach Meng He, so she can only encourage him to practice diligently.

This time, Yun Chuyou really left. With a reluctant gaze from Meng He, she closed the wooden door to her room.

Realizing he couldn’t see his senior martial sister anymore, Meng He originally planned to return to his room to practice. However, after a quick nap, he sat up again, rushed out, and ran into the woods on the mountain to catch a demon beast.

The moonlight is so bright now; it’s the perfect time to catch a beast. When Elder Martial Sister sees the demon beast in the beast pen tomorrow morning, she will surely be happy and praise him.

Most of the tasks of taking care of Yu Jiu have been assigned to Meng He by Yun Chuyou, after all, she is the Elder Martial Sister, and Yu Jiu is the junior male disciple. Activities like applying medicine or wiping down must be done by Meng He.

The two rooms are right next to each other, so Meng He can naturally hear any noise. Late at night, that silly dog next door ran out to play. He rolled over in bed with a cold snort, and before long, he heard the chirping of a young beast.

Looking outside through the window, the silly dog had one hand grabbing the long ears of a few ordinary rabbits and the other holding two brightly colored pheasants, which are the demon beasts Yun Chuyou raised in the woods.

"What a racket!" Yu Jiu, who is already very sensitive to noise, was woken up again. Not being able to sleep well, he cursed the troublesome thing next door while staring at the wall, "Catching chickens in the middle of the night, what’s wrong with you!"

Yun Chuyou didn’t hear the noise made by the two martial brothers that night. For convenient communication, her place is not too far from her younger martial sisters and brothers. However, tonight she needed to focus on studying her special ability, so she added a soundproof magic array outside her room.

Although she is called a sword cultivator, Yun Chuyou has dabbled in many paths of cultivation, such as alchemy, medicine, artifact refinement, and formation arrays, but she is not a master of any; she only understands the basics. The soundproof array is a very basic formation, which falls right within her limited knowledge.

She chose to use the master’s cultivation time and tried to channel her energy. Sure enough, the speed of absorbing Spirit Qi was several times faster than before, and her mind felt especially clear, as if she had received a boost.

Yun Chuyou chose a special incense that could assist in her cultivation and increase her cultivation speed; the effects of the two could stack together.

By the end of the hour, her cultivation level rose from the early stage of the Golden Core Stage one to the early stage of the Golden Core Stage two. It is known that cultivation becomes harder as one progresses, and the time required to improve one’s level also increases. Even though she had accumulated some progress before ascending, to rise a small realm in one night is quite impressive.

The reason Yun Chuyou did not plan to take many disciples in a short time is that she herself has a Single Spiritual Root, and it is a mutated Wind Spiritual Root, which is just not pure enough and is still a bit away from the best Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Besides the five elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, other types of Spiritual Roots must rely on mutations, such as Ice Spiritual Root, Wind Spiritual Root, Thunder Spiritual Root, and the very rare Light and Dark Spiritual Roots.

If it were not for her outstanding talent, Yun Chuyou could not have become a golden core cultivator in just ten years from being an ordinary person.

The cultivation world relies too much on talent; although diligence and mindset are very important, the difficulty of cultivating with a good Spiritual Root compared to a poor one can be ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times greater.

Most ordinary cultivators do not have strong enough willpower to compete at that level. And if their talent is too poor and they cannot break through their bottleneck, they will age and pass away early, losing their chance to surpass those geniuses.

When there was only her as a disciple in the sect, Xie Fuzhi found ways to give her many good things for her training. He spent almost all the wealth he had saved before on this great disciple of his.

So even when she later realized that her talent could take her to a better sect, Yun Chuyou never thought of abandoning Xie Fuzhi as her master.

The conversation went off track. She strengthened her skills and started to open more gift boxes.

The beginner gift box can be opened once at the Foundation Establishment Stage and once at the Golden Core Stage. The next time it can be opened is only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Even though she had a Single Spiritual Root, to go from Golden Core to Nascent Soul Stage would normally take about a hundred years. In the cultivation world, there are very few Nascent Soul cultivators under a hundred years old, and they either have a Heavenly Spiritual Root or a Chaos Spiritual Root. They all have one thing in common: they are backed by large sects or powerful cultivation families and are very wealthy.

Yun Chuyou decided not to think about things too far away. She counted the wealth she could take out from her backpack.

The beginner gift box mainly offered three kinds of fixed materials. The higher the stage, the more materials are given. For Foundation Establishment Stage, the basic materials given were 5,000, and for Golden Core, it was 10,000.

Because she had used some food, wood, and iron, she now had 15,400 wood, 15,800 iron, and 15,996 pieces of meat. These three items took up 9 slots.

After all, 999 would take one slot. Considering the capacity of the system’s space, she chose not to use the basic materials from the last two gift boxes and kept them in their original state when opened. Who knows what would happen if she used them; they might fill up the slots and make the materials disappear.

Even the smallest mosquito is still meat. These wooden and iron things can be exchanged in the human city for resources.

"Isn’t this storage setup a bit unreasonable? Basic materials take up so much space."

There are only twenty slots in the storage space, and materials occupy nine of them. Spirit stones recharge directly to personal assets after use, so they do not take up slots, but the Building Foundation Pill and the disciple’s long sword given by the system earlier take up two slots.

The basic hand seal was given to younger martial sister Zhong Wei, and Yun Chuyou took out the Building Foundation Pill and the remaining long sword and put them into the system’s backpack.

Yun Chuyou asked a question, but the system was as unresponsive as a dead thing; it only reminded her when tasks were released. Thinking about how it appeared like the sound of thunder, she suspected the system was damaged inside the calamity cloud, causing many bugs, which is why it was acting strangely now.

Thinking about the sect’s assets on the page, Yun Chuyou began to explore the system page and found a page that could jump to other scenes.

After searching for a long time, by recharging spirit stones into the sect’s wealth, Yun Chuyou finally activated a new page.

[Successfully activated sect function. On the long road of cultivation, finance, partners, methods, and land are all necessary. A powerful sect needs both the soft power of disciples and enough hard facilities as resources for cultivation. Come and build your sect!]

Yun Chuyou: …

She said it early on; the system must have been struck by lightning!
