Cultivation: Starting with Sterilizing My Own Father

The outer gate provides food and lodging. After putting down her entrance gift bag, Wei Zhiying went to Wugutang with her sister for a meal. Although the food at Wugutang had no spiritual energy and was just ordinary rice, noodles, meat, and vegetables, Wei Zhiying and her sister ate with great relish!

In her previous life, her nursing job required night shifts, often meaning she would fall asleep without eating. She never understood why the older generation was so insistent on children eating before bed. But after these five years of rebirth, Wei Zhiying not only understands, but has gained a profound understanding.

The older generation experienced hunger and witnessed people starving to death, so they cannot understand why someone would not eat. The younger generation, on the other hand, has seen people die suddenly from lack of sleep, so they cannot understand why someone could skip a meal and not starve, since they can simply sleep and eat again.

Since transmigrating, Wei Zhiying has never lacked sleep. Because her family couldn't afford lamps, she would sleep as soon as it got dark, no matter what time it was. Moreover, hunger left her with no energy. Even if she wanted to recreate the food from her previous life, even the most basic plain noodles, she would be thwarted halfway through because she didn't have wheat flour.

I want to learn how to make salt like the transmigrators in novels, haha, not only is it illegal, but we're not even near the sea. I want to make soap, but since we're not near the sea, I can't get the seashells to make quicklime. Even if I did have seashells, pigs these days aren't like the ones in my past life, fed in baskets and fodder. People weren't even full, only fed bran, and slaughtered when they felt they were about ready. They're nothing like the fat pigs in TV dramas; they're almost all lean meat and bones. The little bit of fat they have isn't even enough to eat, let alone make soap.

The sect's food was plentiful, especially for the outer sect members. Wei Zhiying and her sister ordered a large bowl of braised pork and several steamed buns, eating with gusto, their mouths greasy and the food incredibly delicious. Just as Wei Lanyin was about to take another steamed bun, her younger brother stopped her. Wei Zhiying quickly swallowed the food in her mouth: "Don't eat anymore. I know you still want to eat, and so do I, but we've been hungry for too long, we absolutely can't eat our fill all at once."

Wei Lanyin had no choice but to give up, looking at the last piece of meat in the bowl: "Xiaoying, you eat it."

Wei Zhiying shook her head and pushed the bowl back: "No need, sister. Now that we've joined the sect, there's plenty of food, and no one will beat or scold us—except, of course, for failing the competition or exams. But our lives are getting better!"

……

As dusk settled into the outer disciples' dormitory, the siblings, having bathed, found their quarters, though the original arrangement provided by the sect, to be quite comfortable. Upon entering, there was a living room, with a dining area on the left (where they could take food home). Further in, there was a dressing table and mirror, next to which was the bed. The bed was covered with two layers of cotton mattresses, a pale blue sheet, two pillows, two small mattresses, and two blankets.

To the right is a small study, but the bookshelves are currently empty except for two copies of the sect rules. Further inside is a meditation area or a place for disciples to practice their skills. To the left is a small door that leads to a bathroom, and to the left is a restroom.

A bamboo pipe extends through the wall next to the bathtub in the bathroom. Turning on the switch will cause warm spring water to flow out. Wei Lanyin was tired after a long day. After taking a bath, she quickly fell asleep with even breathing. However, her brows were still slightly furrowed, as if she had not completely shaken off the oppressive memories of the village.

Wei Zhiying couldn't sleep, and now she finally had a chance to check the panel. The attribute panel appeared in her mind, and sure enough, both hers and her sister's had changed.

Wei Zhiying checked the special attention settings in her mind, and Wei Lanyin's top-grade dual spiritual roots of metal and earth were indeed dazzling.

Wei Zhiying suddenly had a brilliant idea: if cultivation level were converted into wealth, saving 10,000 yuan would be enough to break through to the Qi Refining stage, and 100,000 yuan would be enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Based on her savings from her previous life...

Good heavens, I didn't realize until I thought about it that I had fallen into demonic possession.

Well, take it slow. Wei Zhiying hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed in a long time. She turned over and fell asleep in a little while.

Two days later it was the first day of September. In the past two days, apart from occasionally nodding to each other from afar, Wei Zhiying and her sister had not had any close contact with their other roommates. Everyone seemed so busy. Why were only she and her sister able to explore the entire outer gate these past two days? They were all about the same age, so what were they all busy with?

On the first day of the ninth lunar month, just as dawn was breaking, Wei Zhiying and the others were awakened by a clear bird call. The sundial in the courtyard showed that it was only 6:45 AM. They looked at the strange bird in the courtyard with suspicion.

The bird's eyes were composed of twelve different colors, from head to tail: black, dark blue, raven blue, cherry pink, goose yellow, amber gold, ochre red, moon white, autumn green, crimson purple, lotus gray, and sandalwood. Seeing that everyone was awake, the bird flew around once and then flew away.

You didn't understand, but Senior Brother Yu Xian went back to sleep. Before falling asleep, he reminded you, "That's the sect's timekeeping bird, reminding you it's time to get up for class. Haha~ Go ahead, don't worry about me."
