My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

As she introduced the creature, she showed the video from all angles: "This kind of spirit beast is called Jingyao Shrew, but this one is not quite the same as the normal Jingyao Shrew. It looks like it is a hybrid breed."

The Jingyao Shrew likes spicy food, alcohol, and insects, fruits, and nectar.

It must have been the aroma of Ruan Chayan stir-frying chili peppers that attracted it, which is why it finished off the spicy rabbit meat.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hanying put her hands on her hips and exclaimed, "Hey! My tea was made for me by my mother! How dare it have such a big face?! I'm going to beat the shit out of it!"

"Xiange, tell me quickly! What are the weaknesses of this spirit beast?!"

Xian Ge pondered for a moment: "Why don't you two discover the weakness of this spirit beast yourselves?"

Although I am your system and have always been by your side, it is understandable that I would like to share some questions with you, but ultimately it is better to keep this knowledge in your own hands.

The proverb says, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a

The Jingyao Shrew doesn't possess any significant combat power; this one only has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. You two don't need to worry about your safety. Why don't you two test yourselves?

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying exchanged glances. Ruan Chayan then replied, "No problem."

After discussing it, Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying decided to make another spicy rabbit dish to lure the shrew into a trap.

The two women pretended not to notice the Jingyao Shrew and left the food on the stove. Underneath the plate was a formation plate engraved with "Heavenly Net Formation". As soon as the Jingyao Shrew stepped into the range of the formation plate, the formation would be triggered and he would be trapped by the dense net of wires.

After Luo Hanying and Ruan Chayan circled around outside twice without hearing any movement from the stove, they went over in confusion and saw the spicy rabbit meat sitting there perfectly fine.

Ruan Chayan put away the array plate and shrugged: [“It seems this spirit beast is smarter than we thought; it knew something was wrong at a glance.”]

Luo Hanying scratched her head: ["Then what should we do? This kind of spirit beast seems rather mischievous; even if we try to catch it directly, we might not be able to succeed."]

Ruan Chayan stood with her arms crossed: [“Don’t you think our trap was too obvious? Two people cooking and then leaving it here without eating makes it feel uncomfortable?”]

Luo Hanying raised an eyebrow in surprise: [“A spirit beast that has never seen a human before, even if it has high intelligence, how could it understand this kind of thing?”]

Ruan Chayan pondered for a moment: "Who would know? Even the rats over there know that humans poison them..."

Ruan Chayan was suddenly enlightened: [“Drug it!”]

Luo Hanying beamed: "Drugging is a great idea! You said the array plate was too obvious, and there were spiritual energy fluctuations. Surely Jing Yaoshao wouldn't understand this ancient method of drugging?"

"The medicine is a miraculous medicine, wouldn't it be able to sense it?" Upon hearing Luo Hanying's words, Ruan Chayan hesitated.

Luo Hanying smiled and patted Ruan Chayan on the shoulder: [“How will we know if we don’t try?”]

The shrew perched at the window, watching the two humans gesturing as if they were performing a silent play, but no sound came from them. Confused, it sniffed, climbed onto a beam, and hid, looking forward to its next meal.

"Let me see what usable medicinal herbs are in our gift package..." Ruan Chayan probed her storage ring with her divine sense.

Luo Hanying took a deep breath of the aroma of the spicy rabbit meat and couldn't help but say, "Shall we eat first?"

Ruan Chayan couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay."

Luo Hanying suddenly said dejectedly, "Sigh, when will I be able to form my core?"

Ruan Chayan: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Luo Hanying, carrying the bowl and chopsticks, followed Ruan Chayan into the house: [“It just occurred to me that the spirit beast was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and I suddenly thought of it. I wonder when I'll be able to break through.”]

"You can't rush this. Only by laying a solid foundation can you make rapid progress in your cultivation in the future."

With a deft touch, Xiange peeled off a layer of bamboo shoot skin with her teeth, took a bite, and chewed as she said, "Didn't you say that the spiritual energy in your dantian was so thick it was almost solidified?"

Now all that's needed is the right opportunity. If you want to go into seclusion to form your core, I support you.

"You can form your core without going into seclusion?" Luo Hanying asked in surprise. "But I always thought that crossing a major realm required going into seclusion?"

Xian Ge asked, "Let me ask you, now that you've gone into seclusion, do you know what you're supposed to be doing?"

Luo Hanying bluntly replied, "I know, you shape the spiritual energy in your dantian into a ball, and a heavenly tribulation will split it into a golden core."

Xian Ge choked back a sob: "If you put it that way, you're not entirely wrong. Maintaining your innocence is beneficial for your cultivation."

Upon hearing Xiange's words, Luo Hanying became even more excited and ate a few more mouthfuls of rice.

This secret realm has wild wheat and rice. Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying knew nothing about farming, so it was Xiange who patiently taught them how to handle it.

Of course, the process of handling it would naturally involve using spiritual power or divine sense; otherwise, what would be the point of telling the two what they could eat?

Dealing with these mundane household tasks trained Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying's concentration and control over spiritual energy.

Xuan Ge couldn't bear to watch Luo Hanying eat: ["Look at Ruan Chayan, and then look at yourself. Your mother is so refined and elegant, how come you haven't learned anything from her? You act like you come from a humble background."]

"How can your system be so prejudiced against people of different social classes? I just had a slightly impolite way of eating, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Luo Hanying was speechless: "Cha Cha's manners are a habit she developed since childhood, ingrained in her bones, and she herself is unaware of them."

I deliberately do the opposite of what I want because my mom is too rigid. She's always controlling and insists on everything being done the right way.

I eat to be happy and joyful; nobody's watching, so why should I pretend?

Ruan Chayan tilted her head and chuckled a few times.

[“You’re the best talker, I can’t argue with you.”] Xian Ge put the bear paw to her mouth and made a zipping motion.

Luo Hanying scoffed.

While eating, she suddenly became excited: [“Cha Cha, you said that if the Spirit Medicine Shredder could sense something was wrong, then the seasonings that should be used in this dish shouldn’t be the problem with him, right?”]

Ruan Chayan was momentarily caught off guard by Luo Hanying's abrupt change of thought: ["What do you mean?"]

Luo Hanying blushed with excitement: "Doesn't the flavor of Chinese pepper grass enhance the numbing sensation?"

As Xian Ge has mentioned before! This stuff contains camphor, which is poisonous; eating too much can cause poisoning and fainting!

Ruan Chayan realized what Luo Hanying was saying halfway through and immediately agreed: "After we finish sword practice this afternoon, let's go refine the Toon Pepper Grass. There's a pill cauldron in our storage rings; you control the fire, and I'll control the medicine!"

"It's done!"
