--- Chapter 5 ---
Three months later.
I watched my sister meditating under the moonlight. Her ethereal facial features have become more pronounced, which was an absurd change compared to herself five years ago.
If Han Yue's five years ago were ugly duckling, then the current Han Yue is an elegant swan.
However, I didn't focus much on Han Yue's appearance. What I focused more on is her cultivation growth.
After getting herself purified for three months straight, Han Yue's talents have become top-notch among geniuses in the current era. Her once rock Martial Soul evolved into the Glorious Moon Martial Soul with a half-step Ultimate Yin Attribute.
I knew about the vague concept of Yin-Yang.
From this concept, Day, Light, Sun, Summer, Heat, Fire, Active, Strength, and Qi correspond to Yang, while Darkness, Moon, Winter, Water, Gentle, Weakness, and Blood correspond to Yin.
Although the possibility is low, my sister's Martial Soul could awaken more attributes. At least Yin (Darkness and Cold) is already part of her charm because there have been more suitors of Han Yue recently.
Yet Han Yue rejected them all.
They only come to her when she's attractive.
After a while, Han Yue opened her eyes and sighed, "Breakthrough."
"Yuan, I finally reached Level 10!"
I looked at her smile and replied, "Good. But you shouldn't absorb a Spirit Ring yet, Sister."
"While your talents have become better and your body has become pure, your physique is still too weak."
"I want you to absorb the Spirit Ring above 800-year-old, but less than a thousand years."
"Not to mention, a Spirit Beast with a top-notch Yin Element and Bloodline rare in the wild. We can only find them in the Star Dou Forest until the news I wanted appears."
Han Yue smiled, "Mm, Sister will listen to you, Yuan."
Honestly, being able to cultivate still felt like a dream to Han Yue. But she knew her knowledge was lacking as she didn't expect such a miracle to happen, so she left the decision-making part to me.
So, Han Yue's cultivation path is 'solely' planned by me.
Of course, I didn't meddle with her choice.
According to my research, the Glorious Moon Martial Soul is better than the Moon Martial Soul that would appear in the future, owned by the Moon Douluo, Zhang Lexuan.
And yet, Zhang Lexuan was one of the best geniuses at the time.
Possessing 8th Spirit Ring of 100,000-year-old.
The sequel never stated Zhang Lexuan's ninth spirit ring, but it must be from a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast or Ferocious Beast!
Since Han Yue's Martial Soul is better, I hope she can achieve more than Zhang Lexuan!
Whatever path Han Yue chose, whether it was an Assault system or a Control system, I will support her until she becomes a god.
"Yuan, let's go home!" said Han Yue. Before I could reply, she hugged me and dragged me to our house.
I helplessly sighed because Han Yua was emotionally attached to him to the extreme. After all, they depended on each other to live in this cruel world.
So, I knew Han Yue might develop Brother Complex, though she didn't realize it.
We walked on the shimmering path beside a slow-running river and saw our house. A peaceful-looking cabin made by our skillful father. He was a carpenter with a chisel Martial Soul.
After cleaning ourselves, my sister dragged me to her bedroom, and we slept together.
...
...
The next day.
I heard a knock on our front door and awakened groggily. My sister was nowhere to be seen.
She must have awakened before me and made breakfast.
I yawned and circulated the Spirit Nourishment Technique before walking to the living room. I noticed the village head of Green Stone Village sitting on the wooden stool nearby.
"Grandpa Mu!" I greeted him politely.
The village head, Grandpa Mu, was our helper. Ever since our parents' death, he has helped us a lot with food.
Grandpa Mu is a middle-aged man in a green robe. He always had a harmless smile on his face.
In fact, He's one of the few people who took my advice seriously about compost and irrigation systems. He's also the first person to call me a genius.
"Ah, Xiao Yuan! Good Morning." Grandpa Mu replied warmly.
"I'm here for you."
"I have collected a few books about spirit master, spirit beast, medicine, poison, and medical practice here." After saying that, Grandpa Mu placed a heavy stack of books on the table and patted them gently.
My eyes lit up, "Thank you, Grandpa Mu!"
Grandpa Mu laughed softly, "Haha, this much is nothing. Compared to you, who has helped all the villagers, some second-hand books are nothing."
"I also have asked some villagers to gather the herbs you wanted around our village, including some poisonous ones."
"They will send them to your house this noon."
"But once again, be careful with these things, Xiao Yuan." He warned me sternly.
I smiled faintly, "I will keep your words in mind."
Grandpa Mu nodded, "It's good that you're a sensible child. The other children in our Green Stone Village are so naughty."
'Well, that's because I'm not really one...' I remembered my unfortunate second life experience.
Grandpa Mu stood up and patted my shoulders, "Then, Grandpa will leave."
"Also, tell your sister to be more careful..."
"I heard nobles are traveling to the town nearby."
I frowned inwardly at his words. Hearing the word "noble" is never good because corruption is blazing in their area, Heaven Dou Emperor, Wuqin Province.
"I understand." I gave him a nod.
After that, Grandpa Mu left and hummed along the way.
I watched Grandpa Mu's back and sighed, "Once I awaken my Martial Soul, we can begin to develop more aggressively."
"There are still nine months before that, though."
"I should probably research for a drug that could help me restrain my Spirit Power. I don't want people to know I'm Innate Full Spirit Power."
"I wonder if the legendary "Su Yuntao" would be the one who awakened my Martial Soul later." I couldn't help but chuckle because this man was 'jokingly' portrayed as Blind Douluo in Douluo Dalu's fandom.
I sat on the wooden stool and read the books one after another, adding them to my Mental Palace. Not every book is beneficial, but they bring him more knowledge.
"Yuan, it's time for breakfast!" My sister's voice echoed in the house.
"I will be there in a second!" I replied, storing the books in the Sky Poison Pearl.
...
After a hearty breakfast, noon came, and the villagers sent medicinal and poisonous herbs from the surrounding mountain to my house.
I rubbed my hand in anticipation because the Sky Poison Pearl would finally show its true power.
Before that, I must check something.
