Hu Xingtong, who had successfully chosen the path, had no plans to stay in the cave any longer. In her memory, the cabin still needed to be rebuilt, so the next plan was to repair the house and prepare the ammunition and talismans needed for training.

However, looking at the four heads at the door, Hu Xingtong fell into deep thought.

She was only away for a few days, so there was no need for four door gods to guard the house.

However, seeing how they were meditating and practicing, he thought they were trying to comprehend the aura of the Dao that he had just attracted, so he did not disturb them and walked straight towards the ruins.

He waved his hand and put all the waste materials into the system backpack.

"Xiao Wuzi, please help me take a look at these. If there is anything I need, refine it. If there is nothing I can use, I will use it to build a house."

[OK] The system did not refuse and fell silent after receiving the materials.

Hu Xingtong looked at the four people who were still meditating, thought about it, and decided to set up a barrier for the four people. He took out the soundproofing note he had drawn before and threw it over. In an instant, a colorless spherical barrier gathered around the four people, covering them.

After setting up the barrier, Hu Xingtong was not idle either. He took out the design drawing he had drawn earlier, measured the land inch by inch, and calculated where the foundation should be built.

Then comes the laying of the foundation, building of the walls, and painting. These projects would take a week or even several months for modern people, but they are extremely easy in the world of cultivation. They can be easily accomplished by using spiritual power or talismans, which is effortless and time-saving.

So, within three days, Hu Xingtong had completely built the square courtyard she designed. However, looking at the facilities in front of her, she always felt that something was missing.

He walked around the entire courtyard and finally stopped at the gate.

"It seems like there's a couplet missing." Hu Xingtong murmured as he looked at the empty door frame in front of him.

[We're still missing a guard dog.] The system added.

"Couplets are easy to make, but the spirit pet is not easy to find."

[Look for your junior sister, doesn't she have a pet snake? ]

Hu Xingtong shuddered when he heard this, and immediately crossed his arms over his chest, saying with horror and contempt: "That's not necessary, I'm afraid of that snake."

What you fear will come to you. Haiying ran down from Tan Yuruo's body at some point and lay behind Hu Xingtong, making a hissing sound and sticking out his tongue.

"Ah - you, you, when did you come here!" Hu Xingtong glanced behind him as if he sensed something, then instantly jumped up on the spot, pointing at Haiying on the ground and asked stutteringly.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Haiying seemed to roll his eyes at her, then turned and walked away, as if laughing at this stupid human.

"Ah ...

[Hahaha, Xingxing, you're so funny like this. Look where you are now?] The system reminded her, and Hu Xingtong subconsciously checked her location. This glance embarrassed her. In her excitement, she had jumped directly onto the top of the gate. At this moment, she looked like a ridiculous clown.

"Junior sister, why are you standing so high?" A male voice suddenly sounded, scaring Hu Xingtong so much that she fell directly from the top of the door frame. At the critical moment, a soft spiritual power wrapped her up and slowly placed her on the ground.

"Master."

Master? Hu Xingtong didn't have time to think about it. He turned around and looked around. He was shocked to see Tan Luo, dressed in green. He had sat down in the newly built courtyard without knowing when.

"Master." Hu Xingtong saluted hurriedly and walked into the courtyard with Sun Ze, who had just spoken.

Looking at such a unique and grand decoration style, Sun Ze couldn't help but praise Hu Xingtong's talent again and again.

"Junior sister, you can not only refine the furnishings for the house, but also build houses. I think this kind of skill is really rare. But how come your previous house suddenly became like that?" God knows what the few people were thinking when they came over and saw the ruins.

Hu Xingtong smiled awkwardly and explained, "I was refining my weapon earlier and accidentally blew up my house. I was so anxious to refine my weapon at the time that I ignored it. I only came back to build a house for myself after I achieved a breakthrough. Otherwise, I would have had no place to live and would have had to ask my senior sisters for shelter."

Hu Xingtong secretly felt lucky that she had rebuilt her residence in time after her breakthrough, otherwise she would have been faced with the embarrassing situation of having nowhere to stay. Thinking of this, she glanced at Tan Luo, thinking that it seemed that her master had just rescued her. So she looked at Tan Luo with gratitude, but she also had doubts in her heart, wondering why her master suddenly appeared.

"What did Xingtong gain this time?" Before Hu Xingtong could speak, Tan Luo asked first.

"Master, I successfully refined my natal sword a few days ago, and then I passed the golden elixir thunder tribulation not long ago, and chose a new path by the way." Hu Xingtong answered respectfully, his words revealing nervousness and respect.

Tan Luo nodded gently, his eyes filled with relief and encouragement. "After refining the sword, you plan to follow the path of the sword. Have you learned the sword techniques that your master taught you?"

"I've learned it," Hu Xingtong summoned Qing Huan Jian and was hesitating whether to demonstrate it when several voices behind him exclaimed.

"Wow, Third Senior Sister, your sword is so domineering!" She turned around and met the gazes of Xiao Yuheng and the other two.

Hu Xingtong smiled slightly upon hearing this, and gently waved the Qing Huan Sword in his hand. A faint dragon aura flowed through the sword, and a faint phoenix cry could be heard as he waved it. "It's okay, I drew it myself."

Seeing this, Tan Luo's eyes flashed with admiration, and he continued, "The sword is the soul of a warrior. Since you have chosen the sword as your path, you must practice diligently and unite your sword and heart. The sword techniques I teach you must not only be memorized, but also be fully integrated and put to use."

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings." Hu Xingtong bowed. She always had a strange feeling of respect and familiarity towards Tan Luo.

Seeing Hu Xingtong talking to Tan Luo, Xiao Yuheng and others did not dare to be too presumptuous. They could only secretly look at the Qing Huan Sword in Hu Xingtong's hand, and then quietly asked Hu Xingtong about his cultivation status and tribulation experience.

"Senior Sister, do you have to go through tribulation every time you advance?" Tan Yuruo asked with a look of curiosity and worry on her face.

Hu Xingtong thought for a while and replied, "It seems so. Sometimes I feel that God doesn't like me, even though I treat him as my own grandfather." Hu Xingtong's face was full of grievance. If you didn't know, you would really think that God had let her down.

Tan Luo listened from the side, a helpless smile on his face. He was also very grateful that despite this special treatment from Heaven, Hu Xingtong not only did not show any resentment, but instead took it positively. It seemed that his temperament had indeed improved a lot compared to when he first came.

At this time, Sun Ze interrupted and said, "Junior sister, although your courtyard has begun to take shape, I always feel that it lacks some vitality. Perhaps you can consider raising a spirit pet to add some vitality."

"Indeed, although this courtyard is nice, it lacks vitality." Han Qianyu, who had been silent all the time, finally stopped looking at the courtyard with envy and responded.

"How about letting Haiying come and accompany Third Senior Sister?" Tan Yuruo threatened Hu Xingtong with a slightly teasing tone.

When Hu Xingtong heard this, Haiying's cold eyes and hissing tongue emerged in his mind. He shuddered and shook his head quickly: "Junior Sister, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm a timid person. I'm afraid I can't control a ferocious spirit pet like Haiying."

Tan Luo, standing by, smiled faintly, as if he saw through Hu Xingtong's thoughts. He whispered, "The choice of a spirit pet depends not only on its strength, but also on the fate and tacit understanding between the two. Perhaps, when fate arrives, you will naturally meet the spirit pet that belongs to you."

When Hu Xingtong heard this, her heart moved. She still wanted to raise a spiritual pet, preferably a dog like the Border Collie and Golden Retriever in the real world.

As everyone was talking, Tan Luo waved his sleeve, and a loud bark echoed from nearby. A cute, yellow-and-black spirit beast paced the courtyard, finally landing at Hu Xingtong's feet. It raised its head to look at her, its bright, clear eyes seemingly able to see into people's hearts, revealing an inexplicable cuteness.

"Where did this little guy come from? It's so ugly and cute." Xiao Yuheng was the first to see this spiritual pet. He was so surprised that he wanted to reach out and touch it. However, the little guy didn't seem to like it and turned around and left.

"Hey - I didn't mean any harm..." Xiao Yuheng felt a little aggrieved. He squatted down but still called out desperately.

Tan Yuruo looked at it and wanted to touch it but Haiying still had it wrapped in his sleeve. It seemed that he was jealous.

"This is..." Hu Xingtong looked at the puppy-like spirit beast on the ground in surprise, and an inexplicable joy surged in his heart. This little guy looked very much like the little yellow dog he had raised in the real world.

The little spirit beast seemed to like Hu Xingtong very much. After dodging Xiao Yuheng, it walked directly towards Hu Xingtong, sat at Hu Xingtong's feet, and gently bit Hu Xingtong's trouser leg with its teeth.

Tan Luo smiled and explained, "This is Jishan Dog. It has a gentle temperament and is good at reading people's expressions. It makes an excellent companion pet. I rescued it from the foot of the mountain not long ago. It seems you have a better connection with it."

Hu Xingtong was filled with surprise and joy. She carefully reached out and gently stroked the dog's fur. The dog rubbed her palm affectionately. Hu Xingtong felt the warmth and trust that came from life. At this moment, she knew that she had found her pet.

"Senior Sister, I want to touch it too. Can you let it let me touch it?" Xiao Yuheng looked at the puppy in front of Hu Xingtong with envy.

Hu Xingtong was not polite either. In the game, Xiao Yuheng was set up to like small animals and had a boyish heart that loved small animals.

The little fellow was indeed very observant. Before Hu Xingtong could say anything, he took the initiative to walk in front of Xiao Yuheng. Xiao Yuheng was so happy that he reached out and touched the little fellow's fur. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked Hu Xingtong, "Third Senior Sister, what are you going to name it?"

Hu Xingtong thought about it, and a word was about to come out of his mind: "Yan Hui?"

"Yan Hui...what a nice name." Sun Ze praised.

"All things grow old in spring, only humans grow old. A year has passed and the swallows have just returned." Hu Xingtong murmured with a dull look in his eyes.

"Okay, go back and have a rest. After a while, you will go down the mountain together and be looked after by your eldest brother. Go out and travel around, broaden your horizons, and gain some experience. I hope that when you come back, you can all choose your own path and grow." Tan Luo interrupted everyone's play and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, everyone had no objection and nodded in agreement. Then they said goodbye to Tan Luo and Hu Xingtong one by one and returned to their own residences to prepare to go down the mountain.
