Filthy Cultivation: I Pierced the Heavens with the Merit System

Bai Suifeng, covered in sweat and panting heavily, leaned on the Qiankun Spear like a cane. He stared blankly at Li Fuyao, who was covered in dirt and had dark circles under her eyes, for a moment, and then the two of them grinned and laughed out loud.

"My brother, you smell like salted fish now."

Li Fuyao feigned disgust, stepped forward to sniff, then exaggeratedly gagged a few times, and chuckled mischievously as she complained:

"Brother, did you throw my pure and sweet little white wolf into the sea?"

"You naughty girl, you're covered in mud yourself, and you're complaining about me!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suifeng blushed with embarrassment and anger, threw down the Qiankun Spear, and was about to pinch her cheek:

"Little mouse, don't run away!"

"Brother, I've made great progress these past few days. If you get caught, watch how I tickle you!"

The two chased and laughed for a while before leaning side by side against the persimmon tree, slumped together without any regard for appearances.

"Brother, this is a miraculous medicine I've developed over the past few days."

Li Fuyao took out the spiritual herbs she had already selected from her spatial storage and handed them to Bai Suifeng, chuckling softly:

"The pills will take a while to arrive, why don't you eat some grass first!"

Seeing this, Bai Suifeng chuckled, lowered his eyes, and accepted the herb. He neither thanked Li Fuyao nor asked where she had obtained it. Instead, his eyes sparkled, and he stared at the herb for a long while before turning his head away and pouting.

"I'm a wolf, you know! You can't feed a wolf grass! I think you just want me to moo!"

"Children need to eat more vegetables to grow tall, and the same goes for the little white wolf!"

Li Fuyao withdrew her gaze from the boy's slightly reddened eyes, her heart softening. Then, feigning mischief, she teased him:

"But if you want to become a little white cow, I have no objection~"

"You naughty little devil!"

Bai Suifeng stood up from under the tree, both amused and annoyed. After patting her own bottom, she pulled Li Fuyao up as well.

"Today is the fourth day, we should go and check out the second level."

Li Fuyao was stunned upon hearing this. She quickly looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already high in the sky above her. She immediately cried out with a pained expression, as if struck by lightning:

"Damn it! The square must be packed with people now, I really don't want to squeeze through it again, waaaaaah..."

"Calm down, calm down. There are definitely fewer cultivators participating in the second test than in the first. Even if your two senior brothers are too busy to come, your brother is here, so you definitely won't be able to squeeze in."

Bai Suifeng confidently pulled Li Fuyao up and started walking. Half an hour later, he was back amidst a bunch of pregnant women and buttocks, his face dark and his hair bristling as he protected Li Fuyao and pushed his way forward.

"Tsk, why are there still so many people at the second level?!"

Quite a few people passed the first test, so now, although there weren't as many cultivators as there were in the first test, making it hard to breathe, the square was still incredibly lively.

The field was mostly filled with cultivators in their twenties and thirties, and people of Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng's age were extremely rare. So, for Li Fuyao and Bai Suifeng, who disliked crowds and noise, the square full of backs and buttocks seemed particularly crowded.

The brother and sister finally managed to squeeze through the crowd and reach the edge of Shenwu Square.

Looking at this familiar old place, the two exchanged a glance and both let out a bitter smile.

"Phew... I'm finally in."

Li Fuyao patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Bai Suifeng with a wink:

"At least no one threw shoes this time, hahaha~"

Bai Suifeng didn't reply, but stared blankly at the ahoge (cowlick) on her head caused by static electricity. He secretly laughed at his younger sister, who now looked like a dandelion spirit. His irritation subsided, but he felt an intense itch to touch her.

He hesitated for a long time but couldn't resist any longer. Finally, he reached out and smoothed her medium-length, messy hair, shaking his head with a smile in his eyes and sighing helplessly:

"You just can't stand having a lot of people around."

"Oh dear, it's certainly lively with lots of people, but too much liveliness can be problematic. All you can see are butts and bellies; what lady wants to see that?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fuyao chuckled and playfully stuck out her tongue at Bai Suifeng.

She simply couldn't stand squeezing through a bunch of butts, and her short stature prevented her from seeing clearly. Helpless, Li Fuyao had no choice but to use her divine sense to scan around, and soon found the entrance to the second test.

"Brother, look over there."

She pointed to a huge blue stone tablet not far away and patted Bai Suifeng on the shoulder:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the sign for the second level."

Clearly, they weren't the only ones who discovered this; the surrounding cultivators quickly began to move and surge towards the direction of the blue stone tablet. Seeing this, Li Fuyao and his companion exchanged a wry smile and then squeezed into the crowd once again.

"Brother, what do you think this character test will contain?"

Li Fuyao asked questions as she walked, her face full of curiosity.

"I don't know either, but since it's a test of character, there will probably be some kind of illusion or other trials."

Bai Suifeng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, quietly added to the soul seed:

"Fuyao, you must be careful. Even in the illusion, you must keep our secret well and never let anyone else know it, or it may lead to your death."

Hey, kid, you seem a bit more mature than before?

Boys change a lot when they grow up?

While Li Fuyao responded repeatedly under Bai Suifeng's protection, she thought to herself with a sense of relief:

Growing up is such a beautiful thing!

Bai Suifeng was born in the Immortal Realm, and his physical strength was several times stronger than others even if he started cultivating from scratch, not to mention that he had Li Fuyao, a heaven-defying guy who had added attribute points several times.

Taking advantage of their small size but great strength, the two quickly squeezed their way to the front of the bluestone tablet.
