Cultivation: Starting with Sterilizing My Own Father

Wei Youcai often loses his temper with his family members, especially his children, perhaps because this allows him to experience the feeling of power.

But his feelings for his son were complicated, because his son was beyond his control and dared to talk back to him directly, but he couldn't hit him, and his son wouldn't listen to his scolding.

When it came to beating his daughters and wives, Wei Zhiying would stop them, but beating his own mother too often would be a source of gossip and slander.

Therefore, having another son was Wei Youcai's greatest wish.

Over the years, Wei Zhiying has figured out his father's alcohol tolerance. With his knowledge, he knows how much he can drink before he blacks out and how much he can't see clearly.

Wei Zhiying pushed open the drafty wooden door and shouted, "I'm back!"

When Grandma saw her grandson finally return, she said, "You went out dressed so lightly, what if you get sick? I'll find you a few more clothes later."

"There are only a few pieces of clothing in the house. If you give them all to me, what will my sister wear? I don't want them."

"Okay, okay, I won't give it to you. Come in and have some hot water."

Wei Zhiying warmed herself in the bowl for a while, then said, "Mother, Grandma, I still want to hear you tell stories about immortals."

Cui Lanyin was piecing together scraps of cloth to sew clothes for her son: "You like immortals so much, do you want to cultivate immortality in the future?"

"Yes! Immortals have lots of money, so Mom and Grandma can live a good life!"

Hearing Wei Zhiying say this, Wei Nu and Cui Lanyin burst into laughter: "Silly child, becoming an immortal isn't so easy. You can only have your spiritual root tested at five years old, and we don't even know if you have it yet."

"Can't you speak properly?" Wei Nu glared fiercely. "Why can't my grandson speak properly?"

Wei Zhiying put down the bowl she was holding, went up and hugged her mother: "Mother, my sister and I will become immortals together, so that your whole family can live a good life!"

"Your sister doesn't have that kind of luck," she said, then poured another bowl of hot water for her eldest grandson.

"Of course I am! My sister and I were born at the same time, so we're definitely not that different in age."

Wei Nu was used to her eldest grandson and couldn't stand anyone talking about her sister: "Your mother gave birth to a sister for you, not so you could protect her. What kind of older sister doesn't protect her younger brother?"

Wei Lanyin remained silently squatting by the stove, adding firewood.

Seeing her granddaughter like this, Wei Nu was also furious: "Why is this girl so dull? You are the older sister, you need to learn to protect your younger brother. Your younger brother will be your future support."

"Grandma!" Wei Zhiying had always disliked her family saying these things to her sister: "You yourself said I'm my sister's support, so what's wrong with me protecting her?"

"This..." Wei Nu didn't want her eldest grandson to talk back to her. In this cold weather, it would be troublesome if he ran out and caught a cold.

The family remained silent, waiting until sunset without seeing Wei Youcai return. They dared not ask anyone else in the village for help, fearing that if they saw him not finishing his wine, he would surely share it on the way back out of pride, and then they would get angry again.

"Mom, dinner's ready!" Wei Lanyin skipped in, holding a spatula.

"Xiaoyin is so great. My Xiaoyin is such a filial child. She knows how to be considerate of her mother." Cui Lanyin praised her daughter while finding all the cloth or scraps of straw.

Cui Lanyin dressed her daughter in all the clothes she could find: "That's all we have at home. Run around and jump around outside as much as you can, and don't catch a cold or cause trouble for yourself."

"Okay, Mother."

The family arrived at the place where Wei Youcai often hid to drink. There were two paths in the area. One was a steep slope that you could slide down, but it might not be easy to climb in winter, so they had to take the other dirt road.

After everyone climbed up, they stood there and called out for a long time but couldn't find anyone. As it got darker and darker, and there were starving wild dogs in the mountains, they had no choice but to go back.

Grandma has trouble walking. When she slipped, she instinctively squeezed her legs together. As a result, her foot seemed to step on something hard, which made her leg hurt. Without paying attention, she rolled down the slope. Luckily, there was something soft underneath her, but it still gave her a big fright.

"Oh dear! What is that? That heartless scoundrel, why is he leaving something on the hillside?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Lanyin carefully slid down the side with her children, but being an adult, she still got her arm grazed by the piece of wood: "Why is there a piece of wood here?"

Grandma got up to see what was under her, and when she looked, she found it was her own son!

With a shout, everyone quickly worked together to drag Wei Youcai home, then added more firewood to the house, and took off Wei Youcai's clothes, which were frozen stiff. Only when they took them off did they realize that his head was now a purplish-black color and was almost unrecognizable.

This is our lifeline!

There was a drunkard in the family who couldn't save any money, so Grandma had to take out the broken charcoal she had swept from the host's house and have Wei Lanyin take off her single-layered jacket to fetch a doctor. Wei Zhiying immediately took the broken charcoal from her sister and planned to go by herself.

"It's okay, little brother, I'll go."

"Sister, the snow outside is thick. If you run too fast and slip and fall, all these charcoal pieces will be unusable."

Wei Zhiying forcefully snatched the charcoal, grabbed it, and ran outside, not forgetting to call back, "Here's what we'll do, sister, go find some clean white cloths, remember they must be clean. Oh, and there's some firewood in the house, so boil a pot of water, remember to make sure it boils."

When the doctor arrived, he was somewhat surprised to see that Wei Youcai was lying on a relatively clean cloth, his clothes had been taken off, and he was covered with a slightly yellowed white cloth. The doctor also noticed that the doctor had thoughtfully cut a hole in the area where surgery was needed.

The doctor saw that it was too late; the injury was too severe, and it had been discovered too late. Given the limited resources in the village, the only option was to cut it off. Although the law forbids self-castration, it was a matter of life and death, so the doctor wrote a written agreement, signed it, and had his children fetch the village chief. Wei Lanyin brought the village chief to witness the ceremony before they began the procedure.

The family didn't have enough money for the doctor to use anesthesia. Fortunately, Wei Youcai had drunk nearly a pound of wine. After tying the person up, the doctor discovered that the family had even boiled hot water. Before you make the cut, throw the knife and other tools you need into the boiling water and let them simmer for a few seconds. They also scooped out a ladle of water, added snow water to cool it down, poured in some of the family's last remaining wine for the doctor to wash his hands, and then wiped the instruments clean with a clean cloth before giving them to the doctor on a white cloth.

A few cuts and it was over. The doctor was quite surprised by the whole thing. He knew that even women in the village would lie on ashes when giving birth, but he had never seen anyone so clean, especially a three-year-old child.

Afterwards, the doctor wanted to take you on as an apprentice, but your family couldn't afford the tuition. The doctor, in a moment of compassion, said he wouldn't charge you anything. Then, the grandmother demanded the doctor reattach Wei Youcai's manhood, saying there were plenty of people who wanted to take their precious grandson. Upon hearing this, the doctor quickly left; based on experience, if he didn't leave, things would escalate. The village chief, seeing the pain, took the written agreement and left, intending to go to the authorities to report the matter.

Wei Youcai didn't wake up until noon the next day.

But by this time, almost everyone in the village knew about it.

The Wei family hadn't seen the head of the household all day. In the evening, someone heard the wife and children go out to look for him. When they returned, the children rushed out to find the doctor and the village chief. More importantly, the village chief had gone to the government early that morning to report that there were eunuchs in the village who were not legitimate eunuchs.

At that time, the village doctors were mostly from the same village and didn't care much about privacy.

When Wei Youcai woke up, the sky seemed to have fallen.

Wei Zhiying dared to do this, and she wasn't worried that anyone would harm her to take advantage of her family's lack of offspring. The Wei family was a single-son lineage, otherwise they wouldn't have preferred to live in a cave with their entire family just to buy a wife.

Without relatives, even if you accidentally die, the meager possessions in your home will at most be confiscated, and the officials might not even care about them.

……

Wei Zhiying's calculations were correct. Wei Youcai was already extremely drunk at the time and didn't remember anything. At most, he remembered that he was chasing something red, and then he knew nothing more.

As for the red thing, it's probably a red panda (a red-furred red panda) that suddenly woke up from hibernation in the mountains.

Now that Wei Zhiying is the only child in the family, her grandmother rarely talks about her older sister taking care of her younger brother anymore, for fear that her precious grandson will be unhappy and then get sick again.

After that, Wei Youcai became even more despondent. Without alcohol, he would smash things and make a scene at home. The old tables and chairs would fall apart with just one kick, not to mention the bowls.

Wei Zhiying put the two bowls in her space in advance so that she could ensure that she and her sister wouldn't have to hold them with their hands when they ate together next time.

……

The "golden finger" that 9527 mentioned is actually similar to that in a simulation game, at most having a social affinity system and various attribute and skill panels, though the maximum level is currently unknown. Wei Zhiying now understands the blatant pyramid scheme tactics and smiles 9527 used back then; who has such a terrible "golden finger"?

The space the other person mentioned is not large enough to hold anything exceeding one's own weight. Otherwise, it will feel suffocating.

The advantage is that the things you put in will never break, and Wei Zhiying is quite satisfied with that.

Wei Zhiying used this to hunt. In reality, she tried every means to get close to the prey so that she could put them into her space.

Therefore, Wei Zhiying's only level 3 skill is hunting. Gathering firewood and seeds is level 1, while washing clothes, cooking, and washing dishes are level 2. Her highest and most proficient skill, nursing, is level 5.

As her skills improved, Wei Zhiying was able to spot prey every time she went into the mountains. After reaching level three, she could easily find materials to make simple traps or attack.

As for the rest, at most it just means that it will be washed clean, so it won't burn easily when cooking, and the wounds will heal faster with less chance of infection after your care.

After they were two years old and could walk, Wei Zhiying and her sister started trying to save money every day, such as picking seeds, washing clothes and dishes for others, and the fastest way was hunting.

She stored all the money the two of them had saved into her spatial storage. Knowing the character of her family members, Wei Zhiying would only take out some money in the middle of the month for her sister to give to their parents to help with household expenses. She would save the rest for herself and her sister.

This interpersonal favorability rating is very comprehensive. It not only shows how others treat you, but also how people treat each other. The mother's favorability rating towards the father is -200, while the father's favorability rating towards the mother can reach over 90 at night, but usually it's only around 10 or 20.

……

Hearing her grandmother and mother persuading her father from inside the house, Wei Zhiying stood in the courtyard, clasped her hands together, and prayed softly: "Heaven help me, gods help me! I offer all my younger siblings and my father's fertility in exchange for my sister and me having the aptitude to cultivate immortality. Please bless us to enter the immortal realm!"

This family is typically ignorant and stubborn; they will only hold us back in the future. If you want to get rid of them, you have to do it as soon as possible, and you also need to be capable.

Those who have their spiritual roots tested can enter the sect, a sacred place for immortals. Even if these people wanted to break in, they couldn't.

Even without spiritual roots, Wei Zhiying believed that with his spatial ability, he could still make a name for himself here!

My current goal is to save money. Money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it. With the money stored in my spatial dimension, I'll never have to worry about it being stolen. Then I can take my sister and leave to find my mother's family.
