Ball Ball Cultivation

"Over the past two years, how much have you understood about interstellar technology? I need a Taobao site that can find what I need at home. When can you build it?"

"I've learned a lot and can make a lot of things on my own. It's quite interesting. After further research with a few elders and reducing the cost, we can put it into use. We'll first install a signal tower in Duobao City. The radiation range is ten thousand miles. This is the most commonly used ten thousand mile communication talisman, and it can be reused!"

Qiuqiu encouraged her a few more times, "Ever since Haikui got a drop of Xuanshen's blood last time, she has been in seclusion frequently. This time I advanced, and the space seal has been unlocked to reveal an ocean. Huahua, take us to see it."

A group of people teleported to a vast ocean, but there were no living creatures in it, as if all the powerful things were blocked in the vast fog. Qiuqiu asked Huahua to use his authority to move the small ocean he simulated to the nearby area. The various creatures in it could grow freely, and the little anemones that were sleeping under the protection of the formation were still sleeping so peacefully.

In the following days, Qiuqiu lived in dire straits. Since he could not go out to fight and gain experience, he could only use up his spiritual energy through refining pills and drawing talismans, and then continue to practice. This also made his practice speed not slow, and his cultivation became more and more solid.

Because participating in the auction required a large amount of spirit stones, the family of five, apart from cultivating, wasted no time in making money. Bai Yi accelerated the development and release of a cultivation-friendly mobile phone. Bai Er, in addition to drawing talismans and refining array plates, also used simple calculation techniques to find his fortune. Xuan Chen and Xuan Shen were also diligently drawing talismans and caring for the various spiritual plants on the land and in the deep sea.

Qiuqiu even went into seclusion to concentrate on refining pills. There were enough medicinal materials in the space for him to squander. The pills refined by the Qingmu Ding were rare and precious, and they were full of vitality. They were simply a killer weapon for making money. As Qiuqiu entered the Golden Core Stage, the Five Elements Spirit Fire became more vigorous, and he was adept at refining pills.

As the auction date approaches, more and more foreign monks come to Duobao City. Not only are the major inns full, but many local residents also open their doors to welcome foreign monks and earn some accommodation fees to supplement their family expenses.

On this day, Bai Yi was returning home from Beishan in search of ordinary refining materials. He took a shortcut through an alley when a door of a house happened to open suddenly. Two skinny little boys came out. The older one was about eight or nine years old. He was dark, thin and shriveled, and his clothes were tattered. He had a pair of dark and bright eyes. He looked at the people inside the door with a fierce and unbelievable expression on his face. The younger one next to him was about five or six years old. He was dirty and had a red nose. In his big black and white eyes, there was disbelief and confusion.

The older boy got up after a long while, walked over to help his younger brother up, and before the door was completely closed, he asked sternly, "Why are you kicking us out? This is our home! Grandpa, I'm looking for you!!"

A sharp female voice came from inside the door: "That old man is dead. When he learned that your father died outside, he was furious. Humph, get out of here quickly. I won't let you live here anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

"This house was originally bought by my father for Grandpa and us brothers to live in. If anyone should leave, it should be you. We'll stay!"

"Is there any justice in the world? Your father is just a bastard who was picked up from nowhere, yet he wants to take over our Zhang family's real estate. Not only did he raise you for so many years but you don't know how to be grateful, he even wants to take over that damn old man's inheritance. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone?"

Bai Yi saw that many people around him were secretly watching the farce with their doors cracked open, so he didn't rush to leave. As the noise grew louder, more and more people gathered around to watch the fun, and occasionally there were whispers. After all, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his spiritual consciousness was projected outward, so he quickly understood the whole process.

This sharp-tongued woman was an aunt of two children. Many cultivators had mixed spiritual roots and found it difficult to cultivate to the foundation-building stage. The old man of the Zhang family, who was still at a high level of Qi training in his middle age, married a wife with the same level of cultivation and settled down on the outskirts of Duobao City. Many years later, he gave birth to a daughter, the sharp-tongued Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling's talent for cultivation was also very poor, so the two elders of the Zhang family planned to recruit a son-in-law.

Those who had talent in cultivation also looked down on such a family, and finally found a son-in-law with talent in cultivation in the mortal world and married him. This son-in-law's talent in cultivation was average, but better than that of the whole family. In just a few years, he became the best in cultivation, so he went out for many years in the name of training and never returned.

Zhang Ling had no sons or daughters. At this time, old man Zhang brought back a boy of seven or eight years old from outside. He was an ordinary boy with three spiritual roots. Zhang Ling and his mother thought that he was an illegitimate child brought back from outside, especially Zhang's mother, who had a low level of cultivation and was old. She was so angry that she couldn't get out of bed and died within a few years. This caused Zhang Ling to hate this "illegitimate child" Zhang Gen very much. As Zhang Gen grew up, he married a wife who was picked up from the back mountain. However, she gave birth to two sons in three to five years. When she gave birth to her youngest son, she fell ill and died within a year.

Zhang Gen was helpless. Lacking spirit stones to buy his wife high-level elixirs, he could only wait for her to slowly die, heartbroken. He barely raised his children until they were three, and by the time his eldest son's spiritual roots were tested, he had the lowest five spiritual roots. He didn't give up, instead searching for herbs and slaying monsters to supplement the family income. He also luckily moved to a slightly better courtyard, where the spiritual energy was slightly richer, more conducive to his eldest son's cultivation.

This time, he went out with the monster hunting team to hunt monsters. The survivors sent news that Zhang Gen had died in the mouth of a monster. Upon hearing the bad news, Mr. Zhang passed away.

The two children had been helping out in the back mountain, doing the most basic collecting tasks. As soon as they returned home today, they were kicked out by their aunt whom they had only seen a few times!

This aunt's husband happened to come back and said that they buried Mr. Zhang together. There are also rumors that the couple conspired to kill the old man.

A shifty-looking man in gray said, "Yesterday I saw the Zhang family's son-in-law go to the Yahang and say he wanted to sell these two brothers. I heard the younger one is a mortal, and the older one, after three years of cultivation, still has a useless spiritual root that hasn't even drawn Qi into his body. If it were a girl, they might consider it, but they don't want two skinny boys for a few spirit stones. If they were sold to ordinary people, they'd only get some worldly gold and silver, and there's no need to bother. That's why they were kicked out by this aunt."

The argument continued, and the younger child was about to cling to his aunt's thighs and cry for help. Zhang Ling, annoyed by the crying, suddenly kicked the little boy away, clearly using spiritual power. The older boy immediately flew over to catch the little boy, and was dragged down with him, falling to the ground. It was obvious that he had fallen hard, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The older boy didn't argue: "I want to pack some clothes to take away!" He looked fiercely at this so-called relative, their aunt.

Zhang Ling was also unequivocal. He casually pointed to a corner behind the door and said, "Everything in your room is right there. Take whatever you want. Who do you think you are? If you didn't need money urgently and wanted to rent out those rooms, I wouldn't touch your dirty things!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands, as if he didn't know how dirty things were!

The two brothers ran to the back of the door and searched for a while. Besides clothes, they also found some insignificant old things of their mother and father. After searching individually, the older boy said to Zhang Ling, "The jade pendant left by my mother is missing. I have to find it, otherwise my brothers and I will not leave. We will die at this door!"

Seeing their determination, Zhang Ling reluctantly took out a jade pendant from the storage bag on his waist. The patterns carved on it were like water ripples, and threw it next to the big boy: "It's just a broken jade pendant. It doesn't have any spiritual fluctuations. I don't want it! Humph, get out of here!" After that, he cast a fireball spell on the remaining things, and they soon turned into a pile of ashes.

The two children wanted to kowtow and burn incense to their grandfather, but the aunt only asked them to kowtow three times at the door and then closed the door completely.

If the consequences of killing relatives or mortals were not so serious, this "aunt" would have killed them long ago.

The people watching the excitement at the door gradually dispersed. Someone came forward and asked enthusiastically: How are you going to live in the future? The older boy replied that he would go to the temporary rest house in the back mountain and dig herbs to make money.

Bai Yi hadn't spent the past few years in Duobao Pavilion in vain. He could tell that the jade pendant was not simple, so he followed the two children to the north mountain. There was no one around, so he stopped hiding. When the older boy saw the newcomers, he immediately stood in front of his younger brother and asked, "What do you want?"

Bai Yi felt quite embarrassed and asked, "I'm familiar with your jade pendant. Can you give it to me? The price is negotiable."

The little boy immediately responded, "We're not selling it! Get out of here!"

At this moment, a skinny wild wolf darted out of the mountain. It had just escaped from the realm of ordinary beasts, and it had probably smelled the blood of their brothers and come down to hunt for food. Bai Yi dealt with it without hesitation. Now that the bloody smell was even stronger, Bai Yi immediately cast several cleansing spells to clear it away.

The elder brother immediately pulled his younger brother to his knees and said, "Sir, can you let us be your slaves? I have spiritual roots. Although my younger brother just turned six, he has not had the opportunity to test his spiritual roots. He has only been practicing with me for half a year but has not been able to draw energy into his body. We are easy to feed, just give us food, and we can swear an oath to the devil in our hearts." The child was very smart. He saw the current situation clearly. They were two mortal children, and they would not survive even if a monster came to the back mountain.

"As for the jade pendant, I can give it to you, but it's my mother's relic. If anyone in my mother's family recognizes it, just inform us brothers!"

Bai Yi didn't expect this kind of operation!

Considering that he was currently serving as the Second Elder's reserve, while there were some who had defected, he didn't fully trust them. He had also focused most of his attention on developing mobile phone communicators over the past two years, so he didn't have any true confidants. It was okay to accept these two brothers. They didn't have to sign an agreement before they could draw Qi into their bodies, and then take the Heart Demon Oath after that.

Then I thought that it would be difficult to deal with if my brother was a mortal, so I had to explain it first.

"You can follow me, but you'll have to sign a contract to sell yourself. If you can cultivate, you'll need to draw Qi into your body and embark on the path of cultivation. You'll also need to swear a heart-demon oath. If you can, follow me. You can keep the jade pendant and use it when you gain a certain level of strength. Otherwise, it will be coveted by others and could even put your life in jeopardy."

The older boy quickly pulled his younger brother to kneel down: "I am Zhang Hu, and this is my younger brother Zhang Chi. You will obey the master's orders from now on. Our names were given by our mother based on the patterns on the jade pendants she carried with her. If we need to change our names, we will ask the master to give us names." After saying that, the two brothers bowed their heads and knelt, never looking up again.

Bai Yi was also knowledgeable and said gently, "You don't need to change your name. Whether you follow me as a slave or a subordinate depends on your ability. Come back with me, but you must sign a contract."

After the three of them returned home and freshened up, Qiuqiu and the others learned about all this during dinner. After learning about the two children's life stories, they felt a lot of sympathy, but Qiuqiu still encouraged them and warned them: "Although I understand your hatred for your aunt, I hope you can also let go of it and not harbor any inner demons."

Bai Yi discussed with Qiuqiu that the two brothers were quite hard-working and resilient, so they asked whether they needed to go into the space to test their spiritual roots. Qiuqiu thought about it and agreed, but only wanted the two brothers to be unconscious before testing.
