Chapter 102 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (The End) Waiting for Ye Xing...

It was half a month later when Ye Xinghan was captured by his second sister again to serve as a trial alchemist.

Ye Xinglan improved the stability of the alchemy furnace and added a voice prompt function and a spiritual energy storage panel.

As long as you store spiritual energy in advance and follow the voice prompts step by step, there shouldn't be any problems.

Unfortunately, Ye Xinghan still only managed to refine low-grade pills, but this time the success rate was much better, reaching 90%.

Seeing Ye Xinglan holding tools, intending to disassemble the furnace to check where the problem was, Ye Xinghan quickly reached out to stop her:

"Sis, why don't you try someone else? Maybe it's not a problem with the machine. I'm the kind of person who can blow up the kitchen just by cooking a dish. I'm not a normal trial user."

Before Ye Xinglan could agree, he received a notification that Ye Xingyu had emerged from seclusion. He immediately pulled his eldest sister, who was still in shock, over and said, "Eldest sister, second sister has something important to ask you for help!"

After leading his eldest sister away, Ye Xinghan quickly ran off. He would rather fight ten matches with Ye Zhen than use this furnace to refine pills again.

Most importantly, even with this foolproof furnace, he can't refine pills properly. After his second sister checks the furnace and finds no problems, she'll probably check him next.

"Xinghan is still young, so be more patient when you teach him and don't always scold him," Ye Xingyu said, watching her younger brother practically flee in panic.

She spoke softly and gently, and Ye Xinglan was at a loss for words when faced with such an attitude. She could only retort in a low voice, "He's already over thirty and at the Golden Core stage, how can he still be young?"

Seeing Ye Xingyu's disapproving look, she quickly added, "Don't worry, sis, I just asked him for a favor. I haven't scolded him in ages!"

I have my own apprentices now, and I'm too busy taking care of the two of them to have time to discipline my younger brother.

Ye Xingyu nodded and continued, "You said he's not young anymore, so don't always worry about him, you need to take care of yourself too..."

When Lin You came to hand in her homework, she saw her senior uncle, who had been in seclusion for many days, talking with her master.

She cleverly planned to leave first and come back when her master was free, but Ye Xinglan grabbed her.

"There have been many changes in the family recently. Your eldest grand-aunt has just come out of seclusion and is not familiar with these things yet. You should give her a proper introduction." Ye Xinglan said this, then hugged her alchemy furnace and left quickly.

Before leaving, he added, "I'm going to find someone else to test the alchemy furnace. You guys have fun!"

Lin You, ...?

Seeing that her master was moving at more than twice the speed of usual, and that she clearly breathed a sigh of relief before leaving, was she fleeing in panic?

She glanced at her eldest master, who was smiling kindly at her like a delicate willow in the breeze, and couldn't help but return a sweet smile. Then, a storage bag was handed to her.

The storage bag contained exactly the basic herbs and ores suitable for her. After Lin You thanked him, her senior uncle gently rubbed her head.

This doesn't look scary at all. I wonder why Master ran away. Could it be the bloodline suppression from my sister?

This senior master had already gone into seclusion before they went to Chunxiao City. Lin You had only met her a few times. Every time they met, she would give Lin You and Ye Zhen some spirit stones and pills, just like giving a junior pocket money.

Then there's his junior uncle, who, every time he's punished by his master, would mutter about how understanding and kind his eldest sister is, and how she would never be so fierce, etc.

As they walked, Lin You told her senior uncle about the recent changes. One spoke with great interest, and the other listened attentively. They got along very well.

Seeing this from afar, Ye Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and dragged Ye Xinghan back to study. Anyway, her older sister wouldn't interfere with this kind of thing.

Lin You first took Ye Xingyu to buy a cell phone, then activated the internet and paid the phone bill before taking her to the Third Elder's restaurant.

Like most cultivators, Ye Xingyu hadn't tried much food, so Lin You ordered all the best signature dishes they had bought.

Anyway, she's not short of money now, and cultivators don't overeat. Besides, even if she can't finish, she can just pack it up. With a storage bag, packing is very convenient.

While teaching Ye Xingyu how to use her phone, Lin You waited for the food to be served and also ordered two cups of milk tea and two bowls of ice cream from the shop next door.

Girls may be born with a love for sweet things. Even Ye Xingyu, who is old enough to be Lin You's grandmother, raves about milk tea, but doesn't really like ice cream.

Ye Xingyu is quick to adapt to new things. She quickly learned how to use a mobile phone and even took a photo of herself and Lin You and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

Some people are born with certain skills. Looking at the cleverly composed photos and the gentle, flowing captions, Lin You couldn't help but sigh, "This senior uncle is clearly a master of self-media!"

After Ye Xingyu tasted the food at the restaurant, she found the recipes that the Third Elder had once made public, with Lin You's introduction.

Then, this person bought the ingredients and cooking utensils and led Lin You to her yard to cook.

Few cultivators are bad at knife skills, and Ye Xingyu's control over the heat is also quite good. Although it was her first time cooking, it looked almost as good as what Lin You, a skilled cook, made.

She even learned to plate dishes on her own, and each dish looked like a traditional Chinese ink painting. Lin You was so reluctant to put her chopsticks down.

"Senior Uncle, would you like to take a picture of the dishes? They look especially good! Many cultivators like to read food-related posts these days. Next time, we can even film you cooking the whole process as a video."

Lin You encouraged Ye Xingyu to pursue a career as a food blogger, and even enthusiastically helped her arrange the food.

In her original world, her second older sister, Lin Ran, was a small-time live streamer. When Lin You had free time during her holidays, she would help her take photos and set up props, so she knew some techniques.

At Lin You's suggestion, Ye Xingyu didn't post the pictures immediately, but planned to release them late at night, which directly increased the number of takeout orders tenfold that night.

After getting another free meal, Lin You led her eldest uncle to visit the second elder's tailor shop. The two of them each picked out a few new outfits, and they also made sure to pick out a couple for Ye Xinglan and Ye Zhen.

Lin You had lost count of how many times she had marveled at the exceptional taste of her senior uncle. The clothes he chose were not only aesthetically pleasing but also perfectly suited to their individual personalities.

Lin You couldn't help but pester Ye Xingyu to draw a set of clothing patterns for her. Her master was really easy to talk to, and not only did she draw a stack of patterns, but she also drew Lin You's image on them.

It was only a few strokes, yet it was incredibly lifelike. Even if Lin You had cheated, his skill level would be far beyond their reach.

After carefully putting the painting away, Lin You led Ye Xingyu to see the Fifth Elder's livestock farm, where many edible ferocious beasts were raised. It was now the largest supplier to the Third Elder's restaurant.

Lin You spent three days with Ye Xingyu before reluctantly waving goodbye. Ye Xingyu was truly a perfect shopping buddy.

Not only does she have a great eye for aesthetics, but she's also an excellent photographer and has a unique talent for food. Lin You has learned several new dishes from her!

If she didn't have to go back to do her homework, she would love to play for a few more days.

Hmm, I'll let the Third Elder know later and see if he needs a new recipe. My eldest master should be able to negotiate a good price with him.

Her eldest uncle is very talented as a food blogger. He posted eighteen forum posts in three days, twelve of which were related to food. Each one received a lot of likes and comments, and he soon made it onto the Ye family's popularity list.

They surged forward with unstoppable momentum, reaching seventh place before finally stopping. Overtaking the Fifth Elder, who was in sixth place, was only a matter of time.

When Lin You set up this leaderboard, she added a little surprise: in addition to turning the top ten profile pictures gold, a colorful little star that would wink at people would also be added after them.

While Ye Xinglan was away, Ye Xinghan, who was secretly playing on his phone, watched helplessly as the top ten he had painstakingly made it into on the leaderboard dropped to eleventh place once again.

The name Ye Xinghan turned back to a dull gray color, and the little stars after it disappeared, making it no different from the ninety-ninth.

It seems there's more than one sister who's a troublemaker with her brother.

Ye Xinghan tried every means to improve his ranking, but when he was distracted, Ye Xinglan caught him and dragged him to the platform in the martial arts arena to do his test.

Given his prideful nature, he would never do something like secretly playing on his phone in front of everyone.

This method was even more effective than Ye Xinglan personally supervising him. Not only did Ye Xinghan stop being distracted and slacking off, he even started to work hard to improve his accuracy.

His sister said that if any test paper didn't get a passing grade, she would post it on the wall of the training ground so everyone could come and see.

When Ye Zhen returned from her trip, she became the fifth Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Ye family, and also gained a lot of rare and precious materials and treasures.

Lin You also received a gift from her friends: a whole storage bag full of travel souvenirs, all sorts of things, most of which were usable by her soul.

I heard that she killed three Nascent Soul stage demons on her trip. No wonder she's a protagonist with a protagonist who's all over the place. I wonder if she met any new handsome men.

As the Ye family's capabilities gradually increased and the demon race's power weakened little by little, Zhi Linyou's mission progress bar advanced significantly.

It's already at 97%, just a tiny bit more and we'll be able to send her away.

Lin You didn't spend many points in this world, but now that she's leaving, she used 40 points to open another portable backpack.

As for the fact that the next backpack requires 80 points, Lin You felt it was unnecessary. She might as well save up 9999 points to buy a portable space, which would not only be spacious but also allow her to grow vegetables and raise chickens.

According to the system rules, if the storage space is put into the backpack and taken away, its spatial ability will be erased. For example, if a storage bag is put in, it will just be an ordinary cloth bag when taken out.

Lin You's storage ring and storage bag were both unusable, so she had to reorganize her system backpack.

Lin You took out all the snacks she had stored in the modern world, which were almost gone.

Now she doesn't lack points anymore. If she really craves modern food, she can buy it with points. One point can buy a whole bunch of snacks.

However, the value of things in the cultivation world is different. Even a low-level spiritual herb can cost two or three points, while better materials can cost tens or even hundreds of points.

Lin You always felt that what she had already acquired was a profit, and who knew she could exchange it for points someday.

Lin You also picked out about 80% of the other items, leaving only a small bag of rice and flour as her reserve food. After all, she still had the Bigu Pill, and besides, the food in the points mall was really inexpensive.

All the fabrics she had bought in the modern era were replaced. This time, Ye Zhen brought her a kind of fabric woven from silkworm silk, which has the property of being warm in winter and cool in summer, and also has a certain defensive function. The color also matches Lin You's aesthetic.

There were twelve horses in total, and Lin You stuffed them all into her storage space. She would definitely learn how to make clothes later!

There were also many books in the storage space, covering various knowledge points, which Lin You took out and left for Ye Xinglan.

If she needs these things in the future, she can buy them from the system store.

Ye Xinglan knew she was leaving, so she prepared a lot of talismans, pills, spirit stones, and spirit fruits for her. Lin You only wanted the pills and talismans. As for the spirit stones, she exchanged all her spirit stones for top-grade ones, which couldn't even fit in one backpack.

After packing his backpack, the progress bar had shakily climbed to 98%. A quick internet search revealed that a cultivator had posted a request for help, saying that traces of a demonic cultivator had been discovered in a certain place, with a cultivation level suspected to be late-stage Golden Core.

Before the major sects could even make a move, a group of rogue cultivators had already killed the demonic cultivators and taken them to the Ye family to collect their rewards.

Lin You looked again and saw that Ye Zhen, who was rich and powerful, had posted a bounty online. This demonic cultivator could be exchanged for ten high-grade spirit stones.

She spent four points to fill the storage ring Ye Zhen had given her with all sorts of modern snacks, especially various carbonated drinks, which took up half the space. Anyway, she was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, so she didn't have to worry about toothaches or weight gain from drinking so many beverages.

Lin You only put a small portion of spirit stones in her backpack. As for the rest, she gave them to Ye Xinglan, hoping she could help set up several Hope Primary Schools in the cultivation world.

"You want to take in more disciples from the Ye family?" Ye Xinglan didn't understand what Hope Primary School meant for a moment. "Even if you don't bring it up, the elders will still want to take in disciples."

The Ye family's business is growing bigger and bigger, and they are in dire need of manpower. Although taking on disciples can't get them working right away, there will always be a day when they can be used.

Lin You shook his head and explained, "I want to set up a cultivation school in various places, one that mortal children can enter through their own efforts. The school will provide cultivation resources and teach them knowledge for free. After they achieve success in their cultivation, they don't necessarily have to join the Ye family, but they must eliminate a certain number of demonic cultivators or do a certain amount of work..."

She knew she was being delusional, but her master had said that cultivators and this world complement each other, not that they are a burden. So, if there were more cultivators, wouldn't the power of this world be stronger?

When this land becomes better, the people here will naturally benefit as well.

With the internet, she'll have a steady stream of spirit stones coming in. If used properly, this matter should be manageable.

Setting up a school was much simpler than Lin You had imagined; it didn't even require a meeting or discussion, and Ye Xinglan made the decision on her own.

The status of cultivators in the mortal world is such that they can command a large following, let alone such a great thing that benefits their descendants.

As for the teachers, the disciples stationed at various locations were relatively free, so they didn't mind receiving double pay.

And most importantly, the cultivation world doesn't need any oversight structure. With the oath of Heaven, if you take spirit stones and say what you're going to do with them, then you're going to do them. No one would risk their own future to embezzle them.

When the seventh school began its enrollment process, Lin You finally heard the familiar notification sound.

[Ding! System Lin You's mission is complete.]

[Ding! The Golden Finger quest has been completed. Points and experience points have been doubled.]

[Ding! Please submit your Golden Finger report summary promptly.]

[Ding! System Lin You's settlement: 800 points, 800 experience points. Congratulations on completing the task! Keep up the good work!]

[Ding! System Lin You is about to leave. 24-hour countdown. Please prepare.]

Lin You checked her points balance; it was already 1500. The portable space didn't seem so far away after all.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Ye Xinglan, nuzzling her head against her chest. "Master, I'm so reluctant to leave you. You must take good care of yourself! I'll definitely come back to visit you after I retire!"

Ye Xinglan patted her head and hugged her back. "Safety first. I'll wait for you to come back."

Ye Xinglan helped write a trial report on the "Golden Finger" feature, and Lin You also received a small gift.

[Ding! Your cheat code trial report has been approved by the developers, earning you a reward and a plot explanation.]

The plot answer, as the name suggests, helps answer questions about the plot. Although it can only be used three times per world, it is still a very useful tool.

Of course, this thing can also be upgraded by spending money, but we'll talk about that when we need it.

Lin You accompanied Ye Xinglan in meditation for seven or eight hours before Ye Zhen, who had received her message earlier, rushed back.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly? Your mission..." Ye Zhen suddenly stopped. When Lin You sent the message, she had just killed a demonic cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. It couldn't be related to this, could it?

"The mission is complete. I also prepared a gift for you, which is in this ring you gave me. You have to wait until I leave to open the gift." Lin You handed the ring to Ye Zhen and explained to her why she couldn't take the ring with her.

Ye Zhen held her hand tightly and asked, "How much space do you have left in your personal storage space?"

"There's only half a space left." There are eight spaces in total. The previous items had crammed into three spaces, with various pills taking up two spaces, spirit stones taking up one space, talismans filling most of the space, and another space filled with spiritual food personally prepared by the Third Elder.

Finally, Ye Zhen stuffed half a compartment of spiritual fruit into her hands, until she couldn't fit even a single grape in it, before she stopped.

Seeing her friend's eyes redden with reluctance, Lin You finally told her, "After I retire, I can travel around the world. I'll come back to find you then."

Seeing Ye Zhen's bewildered expression, she added, "If you've already ascended by then, I'll come to the Immortal Realm to visit you."

Ye Zhen, ………

Give me back the heartbreak I suffered before, you bastard!

Just as Ye Zhen was grinding her teeth, Lin You's figure disappeared from everyone's sight and returned directly to her system space.

As for whether the half-ring of carbonated drinks can appease them, well, we'll see when they meet again.
