Capítulo 32: I can grow too!
After dealing with Xiao Che's family, Yun Wuji flew to the eastern side of Floating Cloud City. This area was a vast wilderness of hills and mountains, filled with nothing but beasts.
"It should be around here," Yun Wuji said, surveying the area as he flew above the hills.
In addition to talent, cultivators need resources and a good environment for cultivation.
Wuji came to this place to search for the Purple Veined Divine Crystal mine. If he remembered correctly, it was said in the novel that it contained about fifty kilograms.
This was an astronomical amount enough that it would take a Sacred Ground five hundred years to collect. In other words, fifty kilograms could sustain a Sacred Ground for half a millennium!
"It would be quite a hassle to mine all the Purple Veined Divine Crystals," Yun Wuji said, looking down at the hills. Unlike the fanfics he had read in his previous life, where the crystals were effortlessly extracted from the ground, the reality was much different.
In reality, the Purple Veined Divine Crystals in a mine were tiny and scattered across the area.
If mining the Purple Veined Divine Crystals were that easy, the Divine Phoenix Empire wouldn't have staged a fake invasion to cover up their mining activities. They could have simply sent someone to secretly extract the crystals without drawing attention.
The Purple Veined Divine Crystal mine is like gold and cobalt mines back on Earth; mining them would require using underage kids to do the work.
"Well, let's get this over with," he said, stretching out his right hand and slashing with it. Sword lights appeared, forming a net. When the sword lights struck the ground, the earth beneath him was divided into cubes.
"Rise!" he commanded, lifting his hand. The cubes of soil floated into the sky. Next, large bubbles of water appeared, enveloping the cubes. The water began to spin at high speed, grinding the cubes into finer particles.
Soon, the soil cubes turned into mud and fell to the ground, leaving behind only tiny purple crystals. Wuji gathered the crystals and weighed them; they amounted to around 400 grams.
He shook his head and launched the sword lights again, dicing the earth beneath him. He then used earth elements to lift the cubes, followed by creating bubbles of water that ground the cubes into mud once more.
This time, he collected a larger amount of Divine Crystals 1200 grams!
Yun Wuji smiled and repeated the process multiple times. After a few hours, he had extracted all the Divine Crystals from the mine.
"It's good to be rich," Yun Wuji said with a laugh as he looked at the vast empty pit on the ground. He flew away, still smiling happily.
Although the process was repetitive and annoying, the result still made him very satisfied. Fifty kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals is enough for him to use for a while.
By then, he would have enough strength to plunder, cough... I mean 'borrow' Divine Crystals from the Four Sacred Grounds and other powers like twelve guardian families.
It was already night when Yun Wuji returned to the Xiao Clan.
"What are you doing here?" he asked as he stepped into his courtyard and saw a little girl standing in front of his room.
"Ah! Young Master!" Xiao Lingxi, who had been dozing, exclaimed in surprise when Wuji called out to her.
"Did you slip past the servants and sneak into my room?" Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I'm sorry for bothering you, Young Master!" Xiao Lingxi said, lowering her head and staring at her toes. After their interaction this morning, she found him easygoing and not as difficult to talk to as other experts she had encountered before.
Of course, these 'experts' are mostly at the True Profound Realm.
"Why are you here so late?" Yun Wuji asked.
"Please, teach me how to become stronger!" Xiao Lingxi took a deep breath and suddenly bowed.
"You want to become my disciple?" He looked at the little girl in front of him and inquired.
"Yes, please, Young Master, take me as your disciple!" She shouted earnestly.
"You are not qualified to become my disciple," Wuji said, shaking his head. "Your talent is average, and your character is also mediocre. Leave."
"Even if my talent is lacking, I'll put in ten times the effort to make up for it. Please, take me as your disciple!" Her face went pale at his refusal, but she didn't give up. She knelt on the ground and begged.
"No," he refused again, turning his back and walking into his room.
Although she was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Goddess, that didn't mean he would cater to her.
He, Yun Wuji will one day reach her level and even surpass her.
She stood silent for a moment before gathering her courage and saying, "I... I can serve you!"
"Are you crazy, or do you have some strange hobbies?" Yun Wuji looked at her strangely and said, "I already told you I'm not interested in lolis. I prefer mature women with big dimensions!"
"..." His response left her speechless for a moment. Then she said again, "But, but I can grow too! In a few years, I'm sure my dimensions will be bigger as well!"
"You have something wrong in your head," Yun Wuji didn't want to waste his saliva on her and closed the door.
Xiao Lingxi watched the door to his room close and lowered her head. The chill of the night made her body shiver.
Yun Wuji put the matter out of his mind and prepared some food. After eating, he lit a cigarette and watched his little brother, who was full of energy. He wondered if he should visit Yuechan instead of waiting for her here.
After finishing his cigarette, he tossed the butt aside and began meditating to calm himself. He focused on perfecting the Dragon God Morph technique, channeling his energy into the practice.
-----
The next morning, Yun Wuji opened his eyes, and like a true wuxia protagonist, his gaze emitted a sharp light. He had made significant progress in perfecting the technique during the night.
He had spent only a week developing the technique. While it was functional and free of any glaring flaws, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
"Why is she still here?" Yun Wuji was surprised to sense that Xiao Lingxi had remained kneeling in the same position since last night.
"What are you doing?" He stood up, opened the door, and asked her. She was still kneeling, hugging herself to keep warm, and her clothes were damp from the morning dew.
"Young Master," Xiao Lingxi slowly lifted her head.
"Did you think that spending a night kneeling like this would move me with your sincerity?" Yun Wuji looked at her indifferently and said, "Just give up; this isn't some wuxia novel."
After giving her one last glance, Yun Wuji disappeared in a flash, teleporting away.
"...Wuxia novel, what is that?" Xiao Lingxi whispered blankly, staring at the spot where he had vanished.
"Little Aunt!" Xiao Che's voice suddenly called out from behind her.
"...Little Che," she replied softly.
"What happened to you? I couldn't find you in your room this morning," Xiao Che said, shocked by Xiao Lingxi's condition.
------
Wuji wandered aimlessly around the city until he found himself standing in front of a building with a plaque reading "Heavenly Fragrant House."
"I guess I'm really horny," he muttered, shaking his head as he walked away. He suddenly regretted killing the two women last time.
For the first time in a long while, he found himself with nothing to do. Shaking his head, he decided to return to the Xiao Clan. If he kept wandering aimlessly, he might end up accidentally entering a brothel.
"Young Master, please teach me how to become stronger!" As soon as he returned, Yun Wuji found two people kneeling in front of his room.
"Do you all enjoy kneeling?" Wuji asked, looking at Xiao Che, who was kneeling beside Xiao Lingxi.
"Please, teach us how to become stronger!" Xiao Che didn't know how to respond to the question and instead begged him.
"No, not interested," Wuji replied flatly. He entered the room and closed the door behind him, not in the mood to deal with this.
If it had been a beautiful and mature woman, he might have considered taking her in.
"..." Xiao Che glanced at the door and then at Xiao Lingxi, who was kneeling silently. Gritting his teeth, he decided to stay.
------
The next day, Wuji opened the door to find Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi still kneeling in front of his room.
"No need to waste your effort; I'm not taking any disciples. Just leave," Wuji told them before walking away.
"Little Aunt..." Xiao Che looked at Lingxi and whispered.
"We must persevere, Little Che," Xiao Lingxi said, raising her head to look at him with firm eyes.
"But he said he would never accept disciples," Xiao Che said, unable to hold back.
"This is just a test of our sincerity. If he really didn't want us here, he would have had the servants chase us out," Xiao Lingxi explained calmly.
"Ah! Now that you mention it, I didn't see any servants or guards yesterday!" Xiao Che exclaimed. "Little Aunt, you're too smart!"
"..." Xiao Lingxi closed her eyes and fell silent.
