Chapter 47 Having too high a cultivation level is also a trouble
"Oh, what a wonderful day! I can sleep in again tomorrow!" Lan Yue happily carried Yin Xue back.
Yes, she was suddenly granted a pardon just before leaving. Elder Duanmu said she could come later!
As expected, Elder Duanmu looks like my high school homeroom teacher, but he's much more considerate!
So she must have been wrong before. How could Elder Duanmu be the homeroom teacher?
"By the way, Xiao Guo, do you remember when Elder Duanmu assigned you homework before you left?" Lan Yue thought of the other's instructions and suddenly poked the sapling on her shoulder.
The drowsy seedlings raised their heads, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Chirp?"
"You still have homework. Elder Duanmu asked you to draw two different array diagrams!" Lan Yue gestured with her hand to indicate the number two.
Seeing her actions, the little seedling suddenly realized what was going on and quickly jumped down to draw, becoming extremely serious.
Lan Yue chuckled and started opening the system again.
"Huh, why have I gotten more sunflower seeds?"
[System: You can obtain seeds without using the system, but you'll get fewer seeds.]
[Lan Yue: How exactly is this sunflower seed price calculated? Is there some kind of formula? Tell me, maybe I can get more sunflower seeds.]
Lan Yue was incredibly curious. Could it be that she got the melon seeds because she was enjoying the melon?
When asked this question, the system fell silent.
[System: Confidential.]
"Alright, alright, you're so high and mighty, you'll keep it a secret!" Lan Yue stopped asking questions once she heard it was a secret.
Anyway, she has a "live and let live" mentality, so she's fine with whatever happens.
"So, does this mean I can improve my cultivation level again?" Lan Yue glanced at her panel and pondered.
"Sigh, this is a happy problem. I didn't work hard at all, just ate melons, and my cultivation level improved again."
Lan Yue rolled over on the bed and clicked to apply for a full conversion. Soon after, her system panel was surrounded by golden light.
A familiar warmth flowed through her body, and Lan Yue couldn't help but hug Yin Xue and snuggle against him.
Once the warmth in her body subsided, she felt her eyesight had greatly improved; she could see the veins in the leaves of distant trees and even clearly observe the compound eyes of an insect.
"This is... late-stage Qi Refining?" Lan Yue sensed her current state and felt it was very similar to the late-stage Qi Refining described in the cultivation manual.
"This advancement is a bit too fast. I haven't done anything, and I've reached this level in just a few months. If word gets out, they'll definitely notice something's wrong."
Lan Yue, who was just overjoyed, suddenly became somewhat worried.
So this is the kind of trouble that only a protagonist like Long Aotian has? Even a minor character like her has to suffer like this?
"Don't you have the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade on you? What are you afraid of?" the system suddenly spoke up.
This time, the system spoke directly without responding in Lan Yue's mind, which startled her.
"You're right, I also have the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade! It's a good thing; it can hide one's cultivation level!" Lan Yue's eyes lit up.
"And even without the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade, I would still help you, but it would still cost melon seeds," the system explained slowly.
"I already concealed your previous improvement in cultivation level."
"Wow, System, you're so kind! Waaah, I'm so sorry, I called you mute before, but now I'm the mute one!" Lan Yue was incredibly ashamed.
It turns out that no one else noticed when she advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It was the system that helped her hide it. The system had actually done so many things for her in secret!
She deserves to die! She even complained about the system before!
"You're welcome. I've already deducted the sunflower seeds you were owed, and I even collected a commission." The system's flat voice came through.
Lan Yue: "???"
What, say it again?
No wonder she felt there was something wrong with the number of sunflower seeds; it was all the system's doing!
"System, take my life! You've already deducted money, but now you're even charging a brokerage fee!" Lan Yue jumped up in anger, her face turning green with rage.
However, the system fell silent again, and no matter how she called out to it, she couldn't get it to respond.
…
"Junior sister, junior sister, what are you doing!"
A familiar voice suddenly drifted in from outside the window.
Lan Yue was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice.
Why is Senior Brother here so late?
"Junior sister, are you sleeping well?" The voice carried by the cold wind was a little faint.
"It's nice here, very warm. I was just about to fall asleep!" Lan Yue also used magic to send her voice over.
"By the way, Senior Brother, what are you doing at Lingyue Peak?"
"Junior Sister Lanyue, have you forgotten something?" The voice carried by the night breeze sounded somewhat resentful.
"Ah, did I forget something? Did I forget to do my homework?" Lan Yue looked down and found that Xiao Youmiao had already finished one drawing, and was also drawing another one diligently.
"Your homework is almost finished, there's nothing else to do!" Lan Yue had great confidence in the seedling's abilities, after all, not all spiritual plants could be recognized by such a master of formations.
"Junior Sister Lanyue, have you forgotten about me? You said before that I could stay with you on Lingyue Peak recently!" Li Bai's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved in the night wind.
"I've been waiting here for so long, I'm practically going crazy from all the wind, where's my place?"
Lan Yue, who had just been smiling, suddenly stopped. It seemed that she had indeed promised to find a house for her senior brother today.
So where is the eldest brother right now?
