My Text-Based Cultivation Game

[Player's Qi attribute has reached 300. Do you wish to break through to the third level of Qi Refining?]

After working hard all afternoon, Yunyang even took on a few more low-paying tasks that required him to guard the herb garden for a long time in order to stay on Lingyao Peak.

After searching through more than 400 medicinal gardens for spirit insects, Yunyang finally managed to raise his Qi attribute to 300.

The main issue is that the number of spirit insects in each herb garden varies; some have more, some have fewer, and some garden guards don't allow people to enter.

Otherwise, I could have entered the third level of Qi Refining much faster.

Moreover, the medicinal herbs in the A and B grade herb gardens are all high-grade medicinal herbs of grade seven or above. Compared with the medicinal herbs in the C and D grade herb gardens, those high-grade medicinal herbs generally do not breed spirit insects.

Because they are not worthy of it, even spirit insects might not be able to chew these high-grade spiritual herbs.

Looking at the time in the game, I realized that I had been at Spirit Medicine Peak for more than half a month, and the spirit insects had been almost completely plundered.

Alright, now that I've broken through to the next level and am going home, I should probably go back to my part-time job at the school cafeteria in real life.

【breakthrough!】

……

"Phew~"

Su Muxue exhaled a long breath in the room and slowly opened her eyes.

Excellent, I've finally broken through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage.

It took him half a month to break through to the second level of the Qi Refining stage. For someone who had to start over, this speed was indeed extremely slow.

However, there was nothing he could do. His talent was not high. Even though the cultivation technique he practiced was of the immortal grade, he was ultimately limited by his talent. It took him half a month to reach the second level of the Qi Refining stage.

Her dual spiritual roots might be considered a decent talent in the Heavenly Realm, but in the eyes of the Empress from her previous life, anything below the Heavenly Spiritual Root level was considered trash.

Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root can only barely be considered passing.

However, the path to immortality is long and arduous. Having lived for countless years, he naturally wouldn't be like those juniors who are just beginning their journey to immortality, still concerned about the cultivation speed of the Qi Refining stage.

The goal is to achieve immortality, not to rush to be reincarnated.

Today's breakthrough is ultimately a good thing, Su Muxue smiled and took out the spirit stone she had left over from her cultivation.

Let's go out to eat tonight.

It's rare that I still have the desire to eat now; once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage and begin abstinence from grains, I won't have much of a desire for these foods anymore.

"Click~"

Just then, Su Muxue suddenly heard the courtyard gate open, and the restrictions placed on the courtyard were also lifted.

Is it Yunyang who's back?

This guy has been gone for half a month, I wonder what he's been up to.

"Hey!" Su Muxue walked to the door in a few steps, and asked Yunyang casually as he approached, "What are you doing... wait!"

Halfway through her sentence, Su Muxue looked at Yunyang with a slightly strange expression, "You, when did you break through to the third level of Qi Refining?"

As a reborn Immortal Emperor, how could Su Muxue not see through Yunyang's cultivation level? Moreover, she could also sense that Yunyang was cultivating the Guiyuan Technique of the Xuantian Sect.

???

Is this reasonable? No, it's not like we're buddies.

You, with only three spiritual roots and practicing ordinary cultivation techniques, how come you're cultivating faster than me, with dual spiritual roots, immortal cultivation techniques, and as a reborn Immortal Emperor?

I don't understand!

Su Muxue suddenly felt that her Dao heart was somewhat unstable.

"In the next couple of days?"

At this moment, Yunyang, who was working part-time as a "food-serving auntie" in the cafeteria, took a break from her busy schedule and glanced at the game on her phone. When she saw the random event that suddenly popped up, Yunyang immediately selected an option to reply.

"How did you cultivate so quickly? Do you possess some kind of treasure?"

treasure?

My goodness!

I, Yun, have relied entirely on hard work and training; how could I possibly possess any treasures?

Looking at the text that popped up on his phone screen, Yunyang couldn't help but complain, "Do you think I'm some kind of male protagonist in a novel, bumping into old men and rare treasures every time I step out the door? All the cultivation I have is what I earned by catching spirit insects all afternoon, okay?"

How could you ignore my hard work and instead guess what treasure I obtained?

unacceptable!

"Hey! Yang, get us some food!"

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Hearing his three roommates come to eat at his window, Yunyang turned off his phone, picked up his steel spoon again, and gave each of them a large spoonful of meat and vegetables.

"Thank you, Brother Yang. Thank you, Brother Yang."

"Don't yell, or I'll shake all the food out of your spoon."

While the people here were eating, Su Muxue from another world stood frozen in the courtyard, completely losing her desire to go out to eat.

Eating insects? You ate insects until you reached level three of Qi cultivation?

How come I, a reborn Immortal Emperor, have never heard of spirit insects having this effect?

But looking at Yunyang's determined eyes, Su Muxue became somewhat uncertain again.

Could it be that this spirit insect really has such effects?

Then perhaps I should...

Su Muxue fell into deep thought.

Two days later...

Lingyaofeng C1 No. 277 medicinal herb garden.

Su Muxue stood in the herb garden. She had specifically taken on a herb garden guarding mission in order to test whether these spirit insects could really increase cultivation.

But...do I really want to try it?

Looking at the plump, large spirit insect she was holding in her hand, Su Muxue's eyes showed some hesitation.

Shaking her head, Su Muxue blamed herself, saying that as an Immortal Emperor, how could she hesitate because of mere sensory disgust?

eat!

Su Muxue gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and swallowed the spirit insect in her hand in one gulp.

The juices inside the spirit insect exploded between her teeth, and a sour, bitter and spicy taste instantly filled Su Muxue's mouth.

Su Muxue could even feel half of the insect's body still wriggling in her mouth.

"vomit!!!"

Unable to hold it in, Su Muxue almost vomited.

Suppressing her nausea, Su Muxue forced herself to swallow the spirit insect.

However, Su Muxue only sensed a little spiritual power contained within it, and it did not have the effects that Yunyang had described.

None of them are as good as taking a breath of pure spiritual energy from a spirit stone yourself.

In other words, I was scammed?

You got scammed!

Anger quickly filled Su Muxue's pretty face, but she held it in for a long while...

"Yunyang! I'll fucking kill you!"

An angry voice echoed over Spirit Medicine Peak, lingering for a long time.

[Su Muxue's favorability -5]

???

Looking at the text that popped up on his phone screen, Yunyang, who had just finished cleaning up the leftover food in the school cafeteria, couldn't help but have three question marks appear on his forehead.

What's wrong with this woman now?
