Chapter 74 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 3) Candy Placed Inside…

The candy exploded in her mouth with a sweet and sour taste, and the cool sensation rushed straight to her head, instantly bringing tears to Lin You's eyes.

She can finally eat! For a foodie, this is even more exciting than getting 10,000 points!

Ye Xinglan waited until the sun was high in the sky, but her newly accepted disciple still hadn't come out. When she went to her room, she found that her disciple was eating inside.

Lin You had finished her lemon candy and was now slowly nibbling on a palm-sized piece of mung bean cake.

Time seemed to stand still in her backpack, its preservation effect superb. This mung bean cake was a handmade pastry that Shen Zechen had bought back then, and now it tasted no different from one that had just come out of the oven.

The delicate, sweet taste melted in her mouth, and Lin You's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. Even Ye Xinglan, who had been standing at the door for quite a while, didn't notice.

Seeing how carefully she ate even a single piece of cake, the newly appointed master immediately took on the role. How could Ye Xinglan's disciple be deprived of even a bite to eat!

Although most cultivators do not eat worldly food, they are not without their own cravings. Her little disciple's little hobby is really nothing.

Ye Xinglan disregarded the fact that she had just informed the family head and elders that she was going to pay a visit with her disciple. After sending the message, she led Lin You down the mountain.

The head of the family is her father, and the elders are her uncles; they are all family. This is her first disciple, so she should give everyone some time to prepare a gift for their first meeting.

Lin You was pulled onto the flying sword by her master. The sword was only the width of a palm, but standing on it was as easy as walking on flat ground.

The flying sword soared into the sky, weaving through the clouds. Lin You could hear the wind whistling past her ears, yet she was protected by an invisible shield, not even a single hair was disheveled.

Although she can fly, she flies very slowly, more like drifting around, which is not as fun as this.

Ye Xinglan flew with her for a quarter of an hour, and they arrived at a bustling and prosperous town.

This place is called Guyue City. Ye Xinglan landed not far from the city gate, made a hand seal, and led Lin You inside. When they passed the city gate, they paid a few copper coins for the entrance fee.

The guards at the gate seemed oblivious to their distinctly different attire compared to the others; after taking the money, they waved their hands and let them in.

Seeing Lin You's curious expression, Ye Xinglan explained in a low voice, "I've set up a small illusion array. If you're interested, I'll teach you how to set up an array later."

The legendary formation! Of course I'm interested!

"Thank you, Master!" Lin You said happily, unaware of how much homework she had agreed to.

Ye Xinglan gave Lin You a bag of silver ingots and a bag of gold beans, telling her to play with them as she pleased. "Currency in the mortal realm is readily available to cultivators. If you run out of these, just come back to me."

In the cultivation world, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver in the mortal world, making any cultivator incredibly wealthy.

Lin You also had gold in her spatial storage. Shen Zechen had stored ten jin of it for her in case of emergency. She still reached out and took the money bag. Of course, she should accept the pocket money her master had given her.

Lin You grabbed a few silver ingots and stuffed the rest into her backpack. Her backpack was already full, and the space for the money pouch was made up from when she took out the mung bean cakes and cola earlier.

Prices here are similar to those in Chu Nanfeng's world. Lin You's few silver ingots were exchanged for a bag full of copper coins, which gave her considerable purchasing power.

She looked around the street, buying snacks and trinkets here and there, and soon her hands were full of bags.

Ye Xinglan stayed by Lin You's side, patiently waiting for her to finish shopping. She even told her, "With the illusion in place, mortals will ignore our abnormalities. You can put the items directly into your spatial storage."

Lin You smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Master, my backpack doesn't have much space, there's no room left. In the last world, Brother Ze helped me fill it up quite a bit."

To help her carry more things, Shen Zechen specially created a storage simulation game and promoted it under the name of Dark Lord, even issuing a bounty.

Within one month of the game's launch, the player who stores the most items in their inventory will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan.

Lin You's current storage method is simply copying the homework of the top student, which truly makes the most of the space.

Ye Xinglan took out two storage bags and handed them to her. They were sachets only three fingers wide, but the space inside was about the same as Lin You's backpack. These were the most commonly used storage tools for cultivators.

"What else do you fancy? Go buy some more. Once you officially begin your cultivation, you won't be allowed to leave the mountain until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

Time doesn't stand still in the storage bag, but there's an array to keep it fresh, making it convenient for cultivators to store herbs and spiritual fruits. Ordinary food can also be stored for a year or two.

Lin You already possessed divine sense, and the storage bag was very easy to use. She learned how to use it after only two tries. After putting her things inside, she happily went shopping again.

The street food was really inexpensive. Lin You spent all the copper coins in his storage bag after he had filled it to about 70-80%.

Seeing that she was always wandering around the streets, Ye Xinglan took her to the biggest restaurant in the city and ordered a table full of the best dishes.

The banquet featured fish and meat, and the presentation was exquisite, making it look very expensive. It seemed to be no less luxurious than the imperial meal that the emperor had once bestowed upon Chu Nanfeng.

The price was naturally not low either, more than ten times more expensive than the bunch of snacks she bought.

Lin You couldn't help but feel sorry for the money for a while, but then she suddenly realized her current identity, and then picked up her chopsticks to eat.

And you know what? There's a reason why things are expensive. These dishes are really delicious. Lin You didn't put down her chopsticks until she was almost full.

Ye Xinglan ordered another table of food for her to pack up, and then coaxed her like a child, saying, "I'll buy you more food after we finish eating."

Ye Xinglan once again took her little apprentice and flew back on her sword, explaining the current situation of the world to her little apprentice along the way.

This place is called Tianyuan Continent, the largest continent in this world. It is inhabited by cultivators, demons, and mortals. Demonic cultivators are not native creatures, but rather alien species that crawled out of the abyss rifts.

Because of the rampage of demonic cultivators, the relationship between cultivators and demons is very harmonious. Although many cultivators here are single, about 30% choose to get married and have children.

Unless they perish in some kind of danger, cultivators have a very long lifespan, which is why not many cultivation sects go to the mortal world to take on disciples.

The Ye family is a sect mainly composed of a family. Of the more than 300 disciples in the sect, more than 200 are surnamed Ye, and the rest are mostly the partners found by Ye family disciples.

Lin You also discovered an interesting phenomenon: not all of those partners were wives to be married into the family; there were quite a few men as well. This world was simple and straightforward; everything depended on cultivation level, and whether someone was male or female seemed to have no importance.

Well, that might be why Ye Zhen was able to build a harem later on.

Of course, not all of this was told to Lin You by Ye Xinglan; it was what Lin You deduced from the plot herself.

In the main hall of the Ye family, the head of the Ye family sat in the main seat. In addition to the eldest and second elders who were in seclusion, the third, fourth and fifth elders were also present, as well as Ye Xinglan's eldest sister Ye Xingyu and his younger brother Ye Xinghan.

When Lin You followed her master in, she was startled by the scene. Guided by Ye Xinglan, she greeted everyone, but felt somewhat uneasy.

She's just a newly initiated disciple, so how did she manage to attract the attention of so many elders? It's as if all the powerful figures in the Ye family are here.

When Lin You received a storage pouch handed to her by someone, which was filled with elixirs, spirit stones, spirit artifacts, and talismans, she hesitated to accept it.

She instinctively hid behind Ye Xinglan. Even if she didn't know the market for greeting gifts here, she knew there wouldn't be this many. Weren't these people being a little too enthusiastic?

Ye Xinglan helped her put away all the storage bags and led her back to the familiar courtyard, and Lin You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are my disciple, Ye Xinglan's disciple, and therefore a member of the Ye family. They are all your elders, so there's no need to be so cautious," Ye Xinglan reassured him.

Lin You hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "I just feel that they are being a bit too enthusiastic. Even though they are your apprentices, this is the first time I've met them."

Ye Xinglan hadn't expected that this seemingly naive little apprentice would actually have such a sharp mind.

"Half a month ago, the Grand Elder, who was in seclusion, suddenly sent out a message saying that he had divined the calamity that would kill the Ye family."

I consulted the oracle several times, and it was only after your appearance that the Ye family had a glimmer of hope. Now that the calamity has passed, their enthusiasm towards you is only natural.

Lin You understood, and then took the pile of storage bags. Including the two that contained snacks earlier, and the two that Ye Xinglan took out again, Lin You hugged them full, feeling as if she had become rich overnight.

Initially, Chu Nanfeng was worried about Lin You's personality, so he told her that she could take out the message board after the mission target taught her how to study and bought her snacks.

Ye Xinglan scrolled through the message board, her face still expressionless, and Lin You couldn't read anything from her expression at all.

"Master, what exactly did they say? They've been keeping it a secret from me. Are they talking badly about me? Please tell me!" Lin You tugged at Ye Xinglan's sleeve and pleaded.

"They said you like to slack off when you study, so they want the people behind you to keep a close eye on you," Ye Xinglan said, teasing Lin You on purpose.

Looking at her stiff smile, Lin You couldn't help but feel helpless. "Although these words sound like what those two people said, Master, you really shouldn't be joking."

Ye Xinglan composed herself, reverting to her aloof demeanor, and changed the subject, asking, "Where's my cheat ability?"

Lin You hesitated for a while before taking out the "College Entrance Examination Training" book.

[Ding! Additional task generated: "College Entrance Examination Training" test, with attachments: College Entrance Examination Mock Test Paper and explanations by renowned college entrance examination teachers.]

If you successfully create 10,000 perfect score mock college entrance exam papers, you will be the best student during the actual college entrance exam. A minimum of 6,000 papers must pass the test.

Failure will deduct the reward for this mission; passing will grant a chance to win a mystery gift; a perfect score will grant double the mission reward. Note: The cheat code can only be used on the mission target.

Ye Xinglan flipped through the test paper but couldn't understand it at all. She then clicked on the expert explanation, which was just like taking an online class. There were any courses available from elementary school to high school.

It was divided into subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, geography, and politics in detail, which made Lin You's scalp tingle.

Ye Xinglan randomly clicked on a course about triangle inequalities. Although she only understood a little bit of it, she found it very interesting.

"You don't need to worry about this cheat. It's just a problem to solve, and there's no time limit. You can definitely finish it. You should learn the basic techniques first, and come and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Ye Xinglan gave Lin You a few instructions and then studied her cheat device. Lin You felt that this thing was a burden, but in Ye Xinglan's eyes, it was a treasure.

How could knowledge that encapsulates an entire era of civilization be useless?

Ye Xinglan first looked at mathematics. She was proficient in formations, so she naturally needed to understand arithmetic as well. However, this mathematics was much more profound than she knew, yet it was easy to understand and progressed step by step, making it a very clever teaching method.

Within half a month, she reviewed all the math courses from elementary to junior high school. Combining this with what she had already learned, her skills improved significantly when she re-arranged her strategies.

Ye Xinglan went to check on her little apprentice and saw that she had already grasped the basics, so she didn't interfere anymore. Cultivation is something that one must always rely on oneself.

Although Lin You had no physical form, he was quite perceptive. After studying the techniques on the jade slip for half a month, he actually managed to find a trace of Qi.

She guided the wisp of energy to travel through her meridians, but before each cycle was completed, the energy would vanish without a trace.

This was the seventh time already. Lin You opened her eyes helplessly, intending to have a meal before continuing her practice, only to find that there was another person in her room.

"Master~" Lin You called out happily, her tone unconsciously carrying a coquettish ending.

"Your progress is quite good. Once you can master the sense of Qi, you will be in the Qi Refining stage. Don't be impatient with cultivation. If you feel bored, go out for a walk. Cultivators don't stay in their rooms meditating all day."

As soon as Ye Xinglan finished speaking, Lin You's eyes lit up. She wasn't one to stay still for long, and if it weren't for cultivation, she would have run out long ago. "Can I go find Ye Zhen to play?"

Having not seen her for so long, this fellow villager must be missing her... snacks!

"That's fine for now. Since you two have similar experiences, you can also discuss cultivation with each other."

Ye Xinglan didn't hold a grudge against Ye Zhen. Not only did she not stop her little apprentice from playing with her, she also specially brought a detailed map of the Ye family and marked Ye Zhen's residence on it.
