Cultivation: Starting with Sterilizing My Own Father

"What this little brother said makes sense." Tang Youxi maneuvered the sword beneath her feet to Wei Zhiying's side: "Such lofty ambitions at such a young age, then, little sister, have you thought it through?"

Wei Lanyin replied without hesitation, "I want to go with my brother."

Two rare and excellent spiritual roots completely triggered a battle between a powerful dragon and a local bully. The five-elemental-rooted one suddenly lost its appeal.

Guiyi Sect was established in the Tiansheng Kingdom in the Central Plains, but the emperor of the Northern Shu Kingdom always wanted to replace it. As a result, when officials encountered people related to the Tiansheng Kingdom, they couldn't help but try to suppress each other.

The magistrate stepped forward and said, "Haha, the young boy has lofty ambitions, but we can't just look at the present situation. It's alright if the young boy doesn't want to choose the Azure Stone Sect. Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect is comparable to the Guiyi Sect."

Tang Youxi retorted, "Little brother, don't listen to him. Everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is a martial arts fanatic, always clutching their swords. In the past, besides some basic spells, you could only learn swordsmanship. Do you really want to be just a sword cultivator? Besides, you have an earth elemental root, which is more about defense. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect isn't suitable for you. The Guiyi Sect has everything; you two siblings can learn whatever you want."

"With your talent, you're sure to become a top student in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. You can exchange and learn from other sects, and you'll be able to learn everything there too. And..." The magistrate increased the enticement: "I'll also relocate your entire village to the capital. Your sister won't need to participate in the imperial concubine selection after she comes of age; she can directly enter the palace as a concubine. You can also marry a princess in the future."

The villagers have lived in this small area for many years, so their knowledge and experience are naturally limited.

When they heard that the entire village could move directly from the country's outskirts to the capital, they were all excited.

Especially Wei Youcai: "Oh dear, becoming an empress? Then I'd be the emperor's father-in-law! My son could even marry a princess, and those princesses must all have snow-white skin!"

Someone nearby chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, maybe they even use golden hoes to till the land!"

"Hey, didn't you hear what the immortal said? These spirit stones are more precious than gold. Maybe they're using spirit stones as hoes."

Wei Zhiying sighed, looking much older than her young age: "Royal relatives don't farm."

These words drew laughter from the adults: "These kids are still too young to see the world. If they don't farm, what will they eat? Look at the master's family, they're so rich, but they still have to farm!"

At the same time, everyone also turned their attention to the disciples of the Guiyi Sect, wanting to see what kind of conditions they would offer.

Wei Zhiying was a college student in her previous life. She had only ever seen stories about schools vying for students on her phone. She never imagined that this kind of competition would actually happen to her.

Wei Zhiying straightened her chest, pursed her lips, and adopted a serious expression.

When Guiyi Sect members saw the gazes of the crowd, they all looked embarrassed. After all, Guiyi Sect was located in Tiansheng Kingdom, a vast and resource-rich country with outstanding people and talents. Most of the disciples of Guiyi Sect came from Tiansheng Kingdom.

If we rashly bring people from other countries to the capital of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, it would be very troublesome if a spy were to infiltrate the area, not to mention that it would also lead to a deterioration in relations between the two countries.

Tang Youxi suggested, "We can't take everyone with us, but we can take your families, only your families. You can stay in a village near Guiyi Sect."

When the people heard that they wouldn't take him, they were all unhappy and advised Wei Youcai: "They want you to leave your hometown. In the end, you won't be able to return to your roots."

"That's right. One group is with their fellow villagers, while the other is with their entire family, going out to work hard. It's not that easy to make a living outside."

"Pah, I see you just can't see the good in our family." Grandma quickly asked Tang Youxi, "Hey, is your so-and-so clan also in the capital of that Tian Sheng Kingdom? When the time comes, you can just tell the emperor there that I must have the best princess to match my grandson. We won't marry the emperor, we'll marry the crown prince and he'll become empress in the future."

Although Tang Youxi was wearing a veil, her words still conveyed a clear sense of disdain. She silently manipulated her sword to move away from the group, while simultaneously taking out a small pouch: "I'm sorry, but as the ancients said, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.' The emperor of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom... even if he truly agrees, he's probably just a figurehead. We're willing to give you more money. This pouch contains the ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones we originally mentioned. After we bring you and your brother into the sect, the sect will not only give you another sum, but also award bonuses to top-ranking students every year, and you'll also receive annual subsidies—that's quite a considerable amount."

"Pah! You dress all smartly, trying to fool us just because we're farmers!" Grandma forcefully pulled her grandchildren behind her. "This little bag of yours wouldn't even be enough to plant an acre of land with seeds, let alone ten thousand! Who would believe that? And what storage bag? My daughter-in-law has never even heard of one!"

Tang Youxi casually cast a spell, and countless crystals flashing with different colors flew out of her pocket and arranged themselves in the air.

"If you don't believe me, you can count them to see if there are ten thousand. Spirit stones can be used for cultivation, and naturally they have different attributes. Depending on the spiritual root, spirit stones are divided into thirteen types. In addition to the corresponding elemental ones, there are also ordinary spirit stones that can be used for cultivation by all spiritual roots. Although it is slow, it is still effective and can also be used for daily expenses. These are the ordinary spirit stones."

The people present were so shocked by the scene that they were speechless. Tang Youxi smiled slightly at the sight. So far, the Qing Shi Sect members had not done anything except fly on their swords. He had completely fooled the people.

"We..." Wei Youcai stammered, his eyes fixed on the spirit stone in the sky: "We'll think about it. Such a big matter deserves some time to consider."

Tang Youxi said with a smile, "No, cultivators have extraordinary hearing. Since we arrived here, many of our junior sisters have heard your villagers saying foul language to us. We must resolve this today."

After all, this poor village near the border had never seen so many handsome men and beautiful women. When Tang Youxi and the others appeared, they unconsciously formed a circle around them. However, Tang Youxi and the others were flying in the air on their swords. There were also a few strong young men who wanted to jump up to see if they could touch anyone.

Wei Youcai immediately said, "Since your attitude is so bad, we won't go to your place."

Tang Youxi clearly didn't expect Wei Youcai to say that: "It's true that bad people come from poor and remote places. The little brother and sister are at the age of learning. If they hang out with you, they will inevitably be corrupted."

Then, with a wave of her hand, Tang Youxi created a transparent barrier that surrounded Wei Zhiying and her brother, as well as herself.

Liu Dazhuang also noticed that the Guiyi Sect seemed to look down on him, who had five spiritual roots. Naturally, he wouldn't go looking for trouble, so he turned around and became an outer disciple of the Qingshi Sect. Afterward, he took his younger brother and father home to pack their things.

Tang Youxi took out two crystal-clear red candies from the bag at her waist: "Here, I have hawthorn candy. If you two are willing to come to Guiyi Sect, there are even more delicious things for you. Outer disciples get free meals every day."

Wei Zhiying's gaze was firm, and her head was tilted slightly forward, as if to express her determination: "I want to go to Guiyi Sect."

Wei Lanyin's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She didn't forget to look back at her parents and grandmother, who were constantly patting the protective cover: "I want to go with my younger brother, but parents and grandmother..."

"We will take them with us. We can't take the whole village, but we can take your family. They will stay in the village at the foot of the sect. There are many people who have come to cultivate with their children and have settled there. If your parents and grandmother want to come back in the future, we can send them back and build you a new place to live for free."

Wei Zhiying put the candy she hadn't eaten into her sister's mouth: "Sister, let's go. Are you happy in this village? The problem of returning to one's roots has been solved. Parents and grandma not only got money, but also a new place to live. Isn't that a good thing?"

Tasting the sweet candy in her mouth, Wei Lanyin finally nodded and said indistinctly, "I want to go to the Guiyi Sect too."

Tang Youxi happily gave the remaining candies to Wei Zhiying: "You have such foresight at such a young age. You will surely achieve great things in the future. When you enter the inner sect, don't forget to choose Dongyang Mountain for your studies."

Wei Zhiying realized that there were probably factions within the Guiyi Sect, and this senior sister was trying to recruit people to her side: "Um... thank you, senior sister. My sister and I will consider it."

"Alright, then we'll be leaving now. The emperor of the Northern Shu Kingdom is very suspicious. If so many cultivators from the Heavenly Saint Kingdom stay too long, it might cause unnecessary trouble."

Wei Zhiying looked up and said, "There are only a few channels for foreign trade between the Northern Shu Kingdom and the Tian Sheng Kingdom. The two sides simply do not know each other well enough. If the two countries increase foreign trade in the future, I believe they will surely become prosperous together."

Tang Youxi then realized that she had just spoken ill of their country's monarch in front of the three children: "You are right, it was my fault, senior sister. I apologize to you."

Wei Zhiying quickly followed Tang Youxi's example and bowed to her as well.

Tang Youxi couldn't help but smile knowingly when she saw this scene.
