Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Bai Suifeng returned quickly. Before Li Fuyao could figure out what to do next, he had already pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing that her older brother's expression wasn't good, she raised an eyebrow and casually asked while leaning against the table:

"Brother, what were you doing outside just now?"

"It's nothing, I just saw Elder Ye off for you and settled the bill while I was at it."

After speaking, Bai Suifeng's gaze lingered somewhat. He then lightly fiddled with his sleeve, guiltily trying to change the subject:

"Fuyao, shall we go home now?"

Seeing that Li Fuyao was not speaking but just looking at him with a half-smile, Bai Suifeng straightened his neck awkwardly and tried to appear calm.

But after a long pause, his pink earlobes hardened, and seeing that his younger sister remained silent and only smiled, he finally gave in to her clear, cat-like eyes, lowering his head and muttering an explanation:

"Well, it's nothing really. I just wanted to recover from my injuries as quickly as possible so I could protect you, so I went to Elder Ye to ask if there were any spiritual medicines in this place that could treat damage to the meridians and dantian."

"I... I'm actually really powerful in the Immortal Realm. I was born a Celestial Lord!"

Bai Suifeng finished speaking with his head held high and chest puffed out, then suddenly paused for a moment, quickly lowering his eyes in dejection, turning his head away with regret and shame, his voice hoarse and deflated:

"However, because of my good talent and high status, I used to be very careless in my cultivation. I fell from above during the great battle and lost all my cultivation when I crossed the rift. Now I am not even as good as when I was born."

"If only I hadn't been so fond of playing around and fooling around all day back then, and had instead focused on my cultivation..."

What a simple-minded young master; his thoughts are written all over his face.

Li Fuyao smiled faintly, a sigh escaping her lips, but her eyes softened considerably. She stepped forward, tiptoed, patted Bai Suifeng's head, then took his hand and gently comforted him:

"It's alright. My brother is still young. It's already a great thing that he can admit his mistakes and correct them. As for the big difference in his life, the path of cultivation is long and full of twists and turns. Who doesn't have ups and downs?"

"Brother, the fact that you are safe and sound by my side is already the best outcome."

Seeing Bai Suifeng's thoughtful expression, Li Fuyao's lips unconsciously curled into a faint smile. She changed her grip to a grasp, gently pulling Bai Suifeng's index finger to lead him outside, while continuing to exhort him through telepathic communication within her soul seed:

"Didn't you say you were born a Celestial Lord? Although I don't know what a Celestial Lord is, it sounds like a very powerful being."

"Since you have that talent and potential, so what if your cultivation is completely ruined now? It's just a matter of retracing the path you took to fly there. I've already asked Zhang Ze to help collect spiritual herbs to heal you. Fuyao believes that one day your brother will be able to return to the Immortal Lord realm, and even reach a higher level!"

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Wenhe Tower, accompanied by the waiter's repeated calls for them to walk slowly.

It was only two or three in the afternoon, and even though the Wenhe Tower used top-quality transparent luminous pearls, the brightness could not compare to the bright September sun.

Bai Suifeng was brought back to his senses by the dazzling sunlight. He squinted at the little girl in front of him who was clenching her index finger. He felt as if the sunlight was a small firework blooming on the top of his little sister's fluffy hair, making his heart feel warm and cozy.

"Brother, I have a lot of faith in you, you know? You know?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suifeng looked up, his previous dejected expression gone, and replied firmly:

"I have confidence!"

"I, Baili... cough, I, Bai Suifeng, will definitely bring my sister back to the Immortal Realm!"

"Of course, how could my elder brother, Li Fuyao, be a mere nobody?"

Li Fuyao was filled with anxiety, fearing that the free guards wouldn't do their jobs. Upon hearing this, she quickly nodded vigorously as if she hadn't heard his slip of the tongue. Then, she flashed a bright smile like the spring sunshine and gently coaxed Bai Suifeng behind her:

"From now on, I'll entrust Fuyao's safety to my brother's protection. But since you want to recover as soon as possible, we need to make a good plan."

"Since Elder Ye is willing to lend a helping hand, he must have a lot of good advice and resources on how to restore one's cultivation. Tell me quickly what you just asked him?"

Upon hearing her listless thoughts, Bai Suifeng's lips twitched, and he immediately gritted his teeth and turned off the fireworks filter on Li Fuyao.

He angrily pulled his fingers from the heartless girl's hand, and in a fit of pique, he strode forward to Li Fuyao, leaving her only with his frantic, elephant-like back view, as he obediently replied in a muffled voice:

"Elder Ye first told me to protect you carefully, then gave me a prescription, saying that the herbs on it could help with my injuries, but..."

Bai Suifeng frowned again as he spoke. The spiritual energy in the lower realm was barren, and the corruption was far more severe than in the immortal realm. He had also felt the preciousness and scarcity of resources these days.

Thinking of this, he turned back to face Li Fuyao and walked backwards, saying in a deep voice:

“Those medicinal herbs are extremely precious. I’m afraid that with our current capabilities, we won’t be able to afford them or find them.”

Although Li Fuyao felt that this little brat's unpredictable temperament lacked flexibility, she was confident enough to reassure Bai Suifeng, knowing she had the system's store to back her up. She assured him repeatedly, like a doting mother:

"Don't worry, with your little sister's intelligence, if it exists in this world, I will definitely be able to find it!"

Seeing Bai Suifeng frowning at her with a surprised expression, Li Fuyao belatedly realized that she had been too certain and seemed somewhat illogical.

She gave a dry laugh and tried to change the subject:

"Well, what I mean is, there are always more solutions than problems, haha. As long as we put our hearts into it, we'll always find a way."

"By the way, brother, you still haven't told me what kind of elixir you want!"
