Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Seeing Bai Suifeng's solemn guarantee, Ye Wuxin snorted coldly, staring at his rather eye-catching appearance for a long time. Finally, considering his past contributions, she took out a crystal-blue earring with a gold frame and inlaid with translucent jade and tossed it over, saying succinctly:

“I never mistreat those who have made contributions; this is your reward.”

Coincidentally, Bai Suifeng, like Li Fuyao, liked to act obedient, well-mannered, and sensible in front of outsiders.

His true form is that of a wolf. Although he is still young and has some baby fat on his face, his features in human form are still more rugged.

With his silver hair and golden eyes, he exuded an aloof and divine quality when he wasn't expressing himself.

But at this moment, the owner of this handsome face steadily caught the earring with both hands, not only thanked her earnestly, but also blinked his slightly droopy puppy eyes at Li Fuyao, like a little dog asking his owner if he could eat a chicken leg.

Li Fuyao watched him make such an incongruous expression on his handsome face. Although she knew he was pretending to be innocent to lower Ye Wuxin's guard, she couldn't help but smile slightly and chuckle inwardly.

Raising a kid is so much fun!

Li Fuyao stepped forward, took the earring, and tiptoed to clip it to the base of Bai Suifeng's right animal ear as he leaned forward slightly. She admired the shimmering blue light nestled in his hair, smiling as she watched Bai Suifeng twitch his ear uncomfortably.

"This is the 412th item in the auction catalog, a single earring style, of superior quality, a spiritual artifact."

"Its function is to change the wearer's appearance and aura to a certain extent at will. The starting bid alone is two thousand low-grade spirit stones. Since Elder Ye has given it to you, brother, you must wear it and not take it off!"

She had wanted to take this thing from the warehouse, but the situation was urgent and she only had time to grab the treasures at hand. Unexpectedly, she found it here by chance.

"Hmm? Little Fuyao even remembers this!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuxin was even more delighted by Li Fuyao's exceptional talent. He was now extremely satisfied and fond of her beyond measure.

He felt he was tongue-tied and couldn't find better words to praise the little girl. Remembering his second disciple's often-repeated saying, "If you like someone, give them money to spend," he simply waved his hand and sent back the treasure that Li Fuyao had returned.

But how can something that has been returned be taken back immediately?

Moreover, Li Fuyao's cultivation level is currently insufficient, and he cannot use many things. Carrying so many treasures on him would not only be a burden but would also attract greedy people who would covet them.

She took the treasures from the warehouse because they were novel and fun, and also because she didn't want them to fall into the hands of demonic cultivators. Now that the matter is settled and she has finally managed to get rid of this hot potato, why would she want to take it back?

For the sake of her own reputation and life, Li Fuyao not only resolutely refused Ye Wuxin's reward, but also proposed that the Yanjian Sect release the news that she had returned all the treasures to prove her poverty.

Ye Wuxin and the others naturally understood Li Fuyao's thoughts.

While they felt a little regretful, they couldn't help but admire her for remaining unmoved by personal gain at such a young age.

He was bombarded with compliments such as being clear-headed and rational, and having a pure heart, which even Li Fuyao, with her thick skin, could not withstand.

She glanced at Bai Suifeng, who was watching the commotion, and felt a little annoyed. So she turned the conversation to him and urged him to use the Hidden Sea Mist to change his appearance for her.

Seeing that everyone was also interested, Bai Suifeng had no choice but to hide his ears and tail like Li Fuyao, and also change his eyes and hair color to black.

Damn!

The ears and tail are gone, so what am I supposed to pet when I feel the urge? QAQ~

Looking at the young boy before her, who had lost some of his divine aura and gained more of a down-to-earth quality, Li Fuyao couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret that her beloved white-haired boy was no longer around.

Seeing the mixture of smugness and embarrassment on Bai Suifeng's face, she felt a mischievous urge and rushed forward, tugging at his sleeve and pretending to cry while covering her face in a funny way:

"Who are you? Waaaaah! Where did you teleport my brother?! Give me back my brother! Give me back my brother!"

"You little rascal, you're so naughty!"

Ye Wuxin couldn't help but laugh, feeling all the pent-up frustration of the past few days vanish.

He sipped his spiritual tea, glancing at the two noisy children before him. His eyes softened as if he'd remembered something, and he smiled lovingly:

"That's right, they both have black hair and black eyes, and they're both handsome. Now they really look like siblings!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao took out a mirror and looked back and forth between herself and Bai Suifeng, sighing with some envy:

"It does look much more like it than before, at least the races look consistent now. This Tibetan Sea Mist is really good. I wish I could have one more of this good stuff to play with."

Oh? She likes these earrings too?

Upon hearing this, Bai Suifeng's heart stirred:

I need this to conceal my identity, so I can't give it to her. However, I do have some talent in weapon crafting. Once I enter the Yanjian Sect, I'll gather the materials and make one for her.

While he was lost in thought, Li Fuyao had already started talking about those demonic cultivators.

Having a rare moment of free time, and with Qi Zhen coming in to report on the mission, Ye Wuxin simply ordered someone to bring over fruit platters and tea. Several young people sat around him as if listening to an elder's story.

The old man was not a rigid person by nature; he was unconventional in his actions and naturally told stories with humor and wit.

In the pleasant atmosphere of drinking tea and eating fruit, everyone quickly pieced together what they had seen.

It turned out that the leading Nascent Soul demon cultivator originally planned to use the blood and flesh of the guests in the auction hall to draw an array, sacrificing everyone in the town, and then use the resentment of the innocent townspeople who died tragically to condense filth and attract filthy beasts, so that he could escape while the filthy beasts were slowing down the Yanjian Sect.

However, the intelligence department of the Yanjian Sect already knew about this news, so they decided to use this as a pretext to ambush the sect's disciples among the guests in the hall.

Not only did he disrupt the plan when the demonic cultivator's subordinates jumped out to start a massacre, but he also forced the Nascent Soul cultivator to show himself. His subordinates, due to slow progress, could only go outside to collect array materials and were captured one by one by the Yanjian Sect disciples who had been lying in wait.

"That Nascent Soul cultivator is named Yuan Tao. He holds a high position in the Demonic Sect. This is a good opportunity to gather intelligence."

"I plan to take you back to the sect after I have settled things in the town in a couple of days."

Ye Wuxin stroked his beard calmly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the children before him, finally settling on Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng:

"There are only two months left until the once-every-fifty-years Ascension Ceremony. Yanjian City must be packed with people by now. Forget about staying at an inn. However, it wouldn't be difficult for me to arrange a private courtyard for you two."

"Given your exceptional talent and great contributions, we'll take you two along on this trip back to the sect. Hopefully, this will save you time on the journey and allow you to cultivate more and broaden your horizons."

When Li Fuyao and his companion heard this, they quickly expressed their gratitude. At that moment, they heard that people from three major families outside were requesting an audience.

Ye Wuxin felt that they had been chatting for too long and it was time to get down to business, so he instructed everyone to do what they were supposed to do, and to pack their bags as soon as possible after finishing their tasks, so as not to leave in a hurry.

Everyone nodded in agreement and got up to take their leave. But as they went out the door, they saw the patriarchs of the three major families of Yuanshan Town hurrying over.

Each of them had a child, around thirteen or fourteen years old, behind them.
