Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Since it was an unavoidable encounter, even though they weren't very familiar with each other, they all nodded and greeted each other.

Li Fuyao curiously looked up and peeked.

The three family heads, their faces filled with barely suppressed eagerness and anticipation, were quickly led by their disciples into Ye Wuxin's room.

Seeing Li Fuyao's expression, Qu Xiu smiled and led her outside, introducing her softly:

“Those people just now were the patriarchs and young patriarchs of the three major families in Yuanshan Town. Although these three families might not even be considered second-rate in larger places, they are like local tyrants in a remote place like Yuanshan Town.”

"They have provided a lot of help in the recovery after this chaos. In return, Elder Ye promised that each family could bring one child to Yanjian City to participate in the Ascension Conference. If they could enter the sect, he would ask someone to take care of them. If not, he would arrange a job for them in Yanjian City so that these small families who have made contributions could also have the opportunity to develop upwards."

Seeing the two children's knowing expressions, like little adults, Lin Qingqing found it quite amusing and teased them with a smile:

“When we go back to our clan in a few days, we will travel with them. We will have a full day on the road. Children are easy to get along with, and you two might become very good friends.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao immediately pouted, raised her chin, and muttered in a low voice with her nostrils pointing to the sky:

"When I make playmates, I have to consider their character and interests. You can't just grab someone and become best friends in half a day! My brother and I aren't the kind of kids who make friends easily!"

Lin Qingqing was eager to tease him, and Li Fuyao was also interested in playing along.

His quirky and mischievous little appearance was quite amusing, making Bai Suifeng and Qu Xiu, who were listening in the background, smile with their lips pursed.

"But speaking of returning to the clan, are there really luxurious flying boats available?"

Recalling Ye Wuxin's words that day, Li Fuyao looked at Lin Qingqing with stars in her eyes and asked:

"Sister Qingqing, what does that flying boat look like?"

"Master's flying boat is named Bright Moon. It is a treasure of the spiritual level. Its quality ranks among the top ten in the entire continent. In terms of configuration, it can indeed be called luxurious."

Seeing Li Fuyao's increased anticipation, Lin Qingqing winked mischievously at her, keeping her in suspense:

"As for what it's like~ you'll find out when you sit in it!"

"Okay, Sister Qingqing, you've really piqued my interest!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao's cat-like eyes narrowed, and she relentlessly tickled her.

Tell me, tell me~

Amidst their quiet laughter and banter, the group quietly arrived at the inn's entrance. Just then, they encountered a disciple who had come looking for them. The two senior sisters gave them a few instructions on how to pack quickly before heading off to their tasks, leaving Li Fuyao and her companion to sneak into the room through the window.

Because the entire inn was booked by the Yanjian Sect, they didn't need to worry about checking out at all.

The two quickly packed up their things at the inn and soon quietly slipped back home by climbing through the window.

"Um, what's this smell?"

Before even entering the courtyard, Bai Suifeng's nose started to wrinkle in alarm. He glanced at Li Fuyao beside him, whose brows were also furrowed due to heightened senses, and asked with disdain:

"What's that stinky stuff? Is something rotten?"

"Hmm, your suspicion is correct."

Li Fuyao, who rushed in first, pinched her nose and looked at the fly-infested kitchen. She thought of the pastries and fruits she had stockpiled before going to the auction and felt both heartache and guilt.

She quickly condensed her water elemental power into a ball, manipulating the large water sphere to devour the rotten, maggot-infested food one by one. Then, she used her earth elemental power to dig a deep pit in the yard to bury the indescribable sludge.

After she used her wind magic to circulate the air around the room for a while, the smell in the room returned to freshness from its foul odor.

Bai Suifeng's offer of help was rejected because he was considered a hindrance.

He could only obediently squat under the tree in the courtyard, watching his little sister bustling around with her short legs, both amused and curious. Only after she finally sat down did he hand her a glass of juice he had gotten from the inn.

Why was it buried?

Bai Suifeng, feeling curious about everything in the lower realm, asked.

"Of course it's because it's too much trouble and embarrassing to throw it away!"

Li Fuyao, who was very concerned about her image, finished her juice in one gulp as she spoke. She licked her lips as if she wanted more and handed the empty glass to Bai Suifeng, indicating that she wanted some more.

Then, as Li Fuyao watched Bai Suifeng take out a large jug and pour fruit juice, she leaned against the door with her arms crossed and laughed:

"Besides, since it's all kitchen waste anyway, burying your head in it can add some fertilizer to the soil."

Bai Suifeng nodded knowingly and handed the cup over again.

He was just about to have some juice to moisten his mouth when he saw Li Fuyao leisurely walk into the house with a cup in her hand, then waddle out again with the same cup in her hand, looking as if she had just lost her parents. He couldn't help but laugh and asked in confusion:

"What's going on here?"

"Gray, it's all gray! There's gray everywhere!"

Li Fuyao leaned against the doorframe, her face filled with grief and indignation:

"I was just about to get into bed and roll around when I touched my hand and found it covered in dust."

She held up her hand, the one not holding the cup, for Bai Suifeng to see, and with a pout, she exclaimed:

"Damn it, it's all my fault for not having enough money!"

"This ordinary little courtyard is really not suitable for lazy people. It's only been a few days since I've been home and it's already so troublesome!"

"When I become rich in the future, I will definitely buy a mansion with a dust-removing talisman, and I will replace all the ordinary food I have stockpiled with high-end products that start with the character 'spirit', the kind that won't smell bad or get maggots even after a year!"

Despite her grumbling, Li Fuyao still angrily rolled up her sleeves and began to tidy up.

"I haven't even had a chance to settle into this little house before I have to move again. What a hassle."

She mumbled an additional wish:

"We need to get a portable dust-collecting room from now on!"

Bai Suifeng, who was forced to work, was initially very interested and found it interesting. However, since he only had a lightning spiritual root and could not use spiritual power to save time like Li Fuyao, he eventually became unwilling to do it.

Upon hearing this, he asked, puzzled:

"If you find it troublesome, why don't you just sell it? Why are you making me go through all this trouble to clean it up?"

"Anyway, Elder Ye will arrange accommodations over there, and the sect will provide supplies. Why bother packing everything up and taking it all with us? Can't we just throw it all away and get new ones?"

"I didn't say I wanted to take everything with me."

Li Fuyao threw the sewage ball in her hand outside the yard, glanced at him, and laughed:

"Besides, this yard is my first property in this world, so it has a lot of sentimental value. I have no intention of selling it."

"If you're not going to sell it or take it with you, then why are you cleaning it up?"

Bai Suifeng threw the rag in his hand into the bucket, somewhat puzzled and annoyed:

"Are you bored?"

"Not at all."

Li Fuyao smiled and shook her head, turning back to continue tidying up as she earnestly explained:

"Many houses were destroyed in the fighting between the demonic cultivators, and some homeless people are still living in temporary tents set up by the Yanjian Sect."

"I plan to go to one of the homeless townspeople and find a hardworking and reliable family to move in and help me take care of them. These are all things I plan to pack up and leave for them."

But all these things add up to a considerable sum of money, and it would be more appropriate and easier to sell them off.

Bai Suifeng wanted to say something, but for some reason, he blinked blankly and didn't voice his thoughts.
