6: Three places

Xiao Li’s master ranked sixth, named Ye Yizhou, and was known as Real Person Yi Ye, who was very formidable.

The other Disciples were taken in by Xiao Li’s other Junior Martial Uncles and were still on the mountain.

However, these Disciples were much older than Xiao Li. Although they treated Xiao Li well, they were too focused on their own Cultivation, so they wouldn't play with Xiao Li.

There was no one Xiao Li’s age on the entire mountain, which was why Xiao Li was so bored and lonely.

This time, the Grandmaster took all the Disciples down the mountain. Xiao Li didn’t know what was happening, but they wouldn't be back until tomorrow at the earliest, which gave Xiao Li the chance to bring Wei Xun out to explore.

“Rice, look over there!” At this moment, Xiao Li pointed to a small wooden house not far away and said, “That house is our Sect’s Scripture Pavilion. It has many Cultivation Techniques, but my Cultivation is not high enough yet, so I can’t Cultivate them.”

Then Xiao Li pointed to a small wooden house on the other side and said, “That house is our Sect’s Treasure Pavilion. It has many fun treasures.”

After finishing the introduction, Xiao Li immediately led Rice to another small wooden house and introduced, “This house is Eighth Shishu’s Pill Refining Room. It has many Immortal Pills and wonderful medicines, but Eighth Shishu has a bad temper and doesn’t let us enter casually.”

Xiao Li snorted at this point and even made a face at the Pill Refining Room, seemingly not liking this Eighth Shishu very much.

Finally, Xiao Li brought Wei Xun to a luxurious wooden house. Although its roof was still thatched, it looked much larger and more refined than the previous ones.

“This house is our Sect’s Main Hall. Every morning, the Grandmaster leads us in Cultivation here,” Xiao Li earnestly explained to Wei Xun, regardless of whether the mouse on his shoulder understood or not: “Besides morning Cultivation, when the Grandmaster has something to tell us, it’s also here.”

After roughly understanding the situation of this Sect, Wei Xun was now only very interested in those three places.

Those were the Scripture Pavilion, the Treasure Pavilion, and the Pill Refining Room.

These three places must have many treasures; if he could sneak in, that would be wonderful.

However, Xiao Li did not take Wei Xun into these places but led him to a cliff edge on the mountaintop.

There were two trees by the cliff edge, one was a pear tree, and the other was also a pear tree.

But one was big and one was small.

Xiao Li sat by the small pear tree on the cliff edge, then held Wei Xun in her arms, gazing alone at the endless sea of clouds ahead, muttering to herself, “I wish I could grow up quickly, then I could go out and play by myself.”

Wei Xun looked up at Xiao Li’s somewhat wistful expression, wanting to comfort her but unable to speak, he could only make a few Jiji sounds as a gesture.

Xiao Li was staring blankly at the sea of clouds, but Wei Xun was not in the mood. At this moment, he only wanted to quickly sneak into those three rooms to see if there were any treasures.

But being next to Xiao Li now, it was not good to just sneak away. According to Xiao Li’s Cultivation, he definitely couldn’t escape, so he wasn’t going to waste his energy.

Xiao Li just said that her Grandmaster and the others wouldn't be back until tomorrow at the earliest, so tonight would be the best opportunity for him to act.

As long as he waited until Xiao Li fell asleep, then he could sneak out and, while no one was around, sneak into these three places...

Thinking of this, Wei Xun couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

However, Wei Xun could only dryly huddle in Xiao Li’s arms, staring blankly at the sea of clouds together.

It wasn't until the sun was setting, almost disappearing below the horizon, that Xiao Li finally held Wei Xun and left the cliff edge, skipping all the way back to her room.

After placing Wei Xun on the table, Xiao Li instructed Wei Xun, “You stay here and don’t run around. I’m going to the kitchen to make some food, then I’ll bring it back to eat.”

After Xiao Li finished speaking, she left the room, and Wei Xun had no choice but to sit on the table and wait.

Not long after, Xiao Li returned to the house with a bowl of Rice and a rice ball.

Xiao Li happily ate the Rice with a small bowl of pickled vegetables that she had brought along.

Wei Xun also had no choice but to eat the Rice with Xiao Li.

This Rice, like the rice ball he ate at noon, was much more fragrant than ordinary Rice, becoming sweeter the more he chewed it.

After eating his fill, Xiao Li took the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen to wash them before returning to the room, then prepared to Cultivate for a while before sleeping, just like yesterday.

Meanwhile, Wei Xun took the opportunity to lean against Xiao Li again, and as Xiao Li sat cross-legged in Cultivation, he opened his Da Zui and greedily absorbed the Spiritual Qi.

After another hour of Cultivation, Xiao Li turned off the light and went to sleep as usual.

However, Wei Xun couldn't sleep this time. He kept waiting for Xiao Li to fall into a deep sleep before finding a chance to sneak out.

Wei Xun waited for a long time until Xiao Li’s breathing became very steady before he confirmed that Xiao Li was truly asleep.

Immediately after, Wei Xun got up from his nest, quietly slipped from the bed to the ground, then climbed onto the window and squeezed out through a small crack above the window.

After leaving the room, Wei Xun immediately followed his daytime memory and quickly ran towards the first location, the Scripture Pavilion.

The mountaintop at night was a bit cold, making Wei Xun shiver.

However, this chill could not deter Wei Xun’s determination, and he used the Cultivation Technique he had chosen earlier, Shadowless Step, for the first time.

The moment the Cultivation Technique was used, Wei Xun only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and his speed became incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he had slipped to the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.

“Phew!” Wei Xun breathed a long sigh of relief after reaching the entrance. Although Shadowless Step allowed him to run incredibly fast, it was indeed somewhat physically draining.

However, Wei Xun couldn't care less at this moment. He climbed up the wooden house to the window and squeezed into the Scripture Pavilion through the worn-out window crack.

Inside the wooden house, several bookshelves were placed, and many scrolls were neatly arranged on the shelves.

Wei Xun climbed onto a bookshelf and carefully examined the cover of each book.

The characters of this world were traditional Chinese, and although he didn't recognize every character, he could generally understand them.

“Qi Refining Introduction…”

“Remote Finger…”

“Qi Circulation Twelve Heavens…”

Looking at the dazzling Cultivation Techniques on the bookshelf, Wei Xun suddenly found himself with decision paralysis.

Although he wanted to take every single one back to read, if he took too many, it would definitely be discovered later.

With the strength of these Cultivators, if they wanted to investigate something, he might not be able to hide.

So, he could only steal one or two books to read and switch to others if he had the chance later.

Then, Wei Xun found a Cultivation Technique on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf, its surface covered in dust, looking like no one had touched it for a long time.

Gently blowing away the dust from the surface, the large characters on the cover immediately caught Wei Xun’s attention.

“Demon Cultivation Mind Technique!” Seeing these four characters, Wei Xun’s eyes immediately widened.

He was a mouse now, and to achieve Immortal Ascension, he definitely had to Cultivate into a demon first.

Therefore, this Demon Cultivation Mind Technique was the most suitable item.

So, Wei Xun directly opened his Da Zui and used the Big Gulp Cultivation Technique, placing this Cultivation Technique into the Da Kou Space.
