13: Two-tailed civet cat

Bai Jie gratefully accepted it and soon broke through to the Refining Qi Second Layer with the help of Spirit Stones and Wash Marrow Pills.

It was late, and Li Ye had purchased many decent furnishings from the trading market, replacing all the stone beds, stone tables, stone stools, and other items in his home.

Of course, these were also purchased with food; Li Ye could now eat First-Grade Yao Beast meat, and after hunting through the Secret Realm today, he had over two hundred portions of Yao Beast meat.

“Obtained a common bed.”

“Obtained a common refrigerator.”

“Obtained a common sofa.”

“Obtained an Advanced bathtub.”

“Obtained…”

Amidst various notifications, the entire house was completely refreshed.

However, after placing the sofa, the small fifteen-square-meter space became very cramped.

A good home can enhance the happiness of its residents.

Therefore, Li Ye consumed a few more portions of Yao Beast meat and acquired the blueprint for a Third-Level Immortal Cave from the trading market.

“Third-Level Immortal Cave: Stone (100/100) Wood (200/200) Spirit Stone (10/10) Third-Level Immortal Cave Blueprint (1/1) Do you wish to upgrade?”

“Yes!”

Soon, under a flash of light, the small 15-square-meter home instantly transformed into a small home roughly the size of a 50-square-meter ordinary apartment.

“Not bad, now the bathtub, refrigerator, and everything else can fit.”

At this moment, the long-unheard knocking sound reappeared at the door, startling Bai Jie, whose face turned pale with fright as she stared intently at the entrance.

The door vibrated continuously, and the newly purchased iron door kept losing durability.

The maximum durability of the iron door was 100, and it was gradually decreasing.

“A Yao Demon again?”

Li Ye frowned, opened the door, and immediately struck the Yao Demon with an axe.

“You killed a First-Grade Medium Grade Yao Demon Evil Spirits.”

“First-Grade Medium Grade Yao Demons have already appeared; if we don’t Cultivate diligently, First-Grade High Grade, or even First-Grade Peak Yao Demons will soon arrive.”

As time passes, Yao Demons will only grow stronger.

Not advancing means retreating, and not Cultivating means slow death.

He opened the chat channel and found that this was indeed the case.

“Brothers, why have the Yao Demons changed today, from First-Grade Low Grade to First-Grade High Grade?”

“Yeah, I just got bitten to death by a Yao Demon, it’s so annoying.”

“…Bro, how are you typing if you’re dead?”

“I’m a girl, you boys must protect me, you must protect me.”

“How is the little Immortal still alive at this time?”

“Fourth floor, nmsl.”

“Don’t you understand that the stronger you are, the more responsibility you should have? Are you big men even men? Do you eat oil cakes?”

“Truly, two mouths, both right…”

“…”

Li Ye checked for a long time, only obtaining some useful information, which was already what he had guessed.

But at this moment.

“Ding! The number of Xianxia Cultivators in the Wasteland is less than 1 billion; now enabling the Leaderboard | Friends | Sect three functions!”

A message rang in the ears of all players.

On the interface, the three black buttons for Leaderboard, Friends, and Sect turned red from black, indicating they could be clicked.

Li Ye eagerly opened the Leaderboard.

There were many branches: the first was the Cultivation Leaderboard, the second was the Combat Power Leaderboard, and the third was the Alchemy Leaderboard.

It went all the way to Artifact Refining, Formation, and even Spiritual Pets!

It was truly diverse and very complex!

And it was also divided into Global Leaderboard, Large Region Leaderboard, and Small Region Leaderboard.

Li Ye opened the Cultivation Leaderboard, and as he expected,

Global Cultivation Leaderboard,

1, Eternal Night, Qi Refining Fourth Layer (100%) Huaxia.

2, Xiao Yan, Qi Refining Stage 3 (83%) Huaxia.

3, Han Li, Qi Refining Stage 3 (78%) Huaxia.

…

47, Stephen, Qi Refining Stage 3 (24%) USA.

Perhaps due to the inherent yearning for Xianxia Cultivation among Huaxia people and the supply of various Xianxia web novels, the top 46 were all Huaxia people, or it could also be due to the larger population of Huaxia people.

On Blue Star, the Huaxia population was a staggering 2.5 billion, accounting for 1/4 of the entire Blue Star’s population.

Moreover, Huaxia was also an undisputed world power.

Li Ye also looked at other leaderboards.

He was first on the Combat Power Leaderboard, first on the Alchemy Leaderboard, with the rest following behind.

He was very satisfied; his ability to achieve this must be due to the System.

Without the System, he might have long since perished.

With a death rate as high as 90%, there were probably only about 100 people left in the entire 47th small area now.

Li Ye shook his head.

Then he continued to check his friends.

Friends were divided into two options: Fellow Daoist and Dao Companion.

Dao Companions would have a special heart icon and no quantity limit.

Furthermore, becoming Dao Companions would grant a free, lowest-grade Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique, a Human Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique, the Guyuan Art.

Don’t refuse what’s free.

“Bai Jie, you heard that message too, right? Let’s become Dao Companions.”

Anyway, there was no limit to the number of Dao Companions.

Bai Jie readily agreed and quickly became Li Ye’s Dao Companion; let alone Dao Companion, Bai Jie might even agree if she were asked to become Li Ye’s Spiritual Pet and master.

Speaking of Spiritual Pets, Spiritual Pets are actually tamed Yao Beasts.

Li Ye also wanted to get a few Spiritual Pets; the first on the Spiritual Pet Leaderboard was actually Xiao Yan’s Spiritual Pet, who was second overall.

Xiao Yan’s Spiritual Pet was a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and it had also reached Qi Refining Stage 3.

Moreover, Xiao Yan was also second on the Combat Power Leaderboard.

Anyone who faced Xiao Yan would be equivalent to facing two Qi Refining Stage 3 Cultivators.

As for Sects, after Li Ye and Bai Jie understood them, they realized that Sects were essentially about forming groups.

Similar to guilds or teams in games.

Building a Sect required at least one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones; after building it, one could name the Sect, and the builder would become the Sect Master.

However, no one knew what the purpose of establishing a Sect was at the moment, and at this stage, no one should be able to afford one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, so Li Ye could only disregard it for now.

When Spirit Stones became abundant, Li Ye would build a Sect for fun; he thought the game’s owner wouldn’t create a useless option.

It was late, and Li Ye and Bai Jie both Cultivated the Guyuan Art; although the Guyuan Art yielded less Spiritual Qi than the Spring Wood Art, it allowed them to Cultivate and also brought mutual pleasure, so why not?

…

Soon, 6 AM on the sixth day arrived.

“Day Six of Survival.”

“Reward one: The hot pants Bai Jie wore for a year before Transmigration.”

“Reward two: Fourth-Grade Medium Grade Spiritual Pet, Twin-Tailed Spiritual Cat.

Twin-Tailed Spiritual Cat: Dual Spiritual Root Yao Beast, capable of Breaking Through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.”

“Reward three: One hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Reward four: Profound Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact: Xuan Tian Sword.”

“I choose rewards two and four.”

Reward one was basically ignored; Bai Jie had already experienced almost everything possible with Li Ye, so what did she lack hot pants or bath towels for?

As for reward three, although it was important at this stage, Spirit Stones were hard currency, but they were not as precious as rewards two and four.

At this moment, a tiny kitten appeared in Li Ye’s arms; the kitten had pure white fur, similar to a ragdoll cat, but the difference was its two large tails, one blue and one golden.

This indicated that the kitten’s Spiritual Roots were Water Spiritual Root and Metal Spiritual Root.

It was currently only at Qi Refining First Layer, still very small; seeing itself in its master’s arms, it quickly got up, extended its tongue to lick Li Ye’s face, and meowed in a delicate voice.

“Husband, what is this? Wow, so cute!”

Bai Jie also woke up, saw the kitten in Li Ye’s arms, and quickly nestled into Li Ye’s embrace to tease the kitten.

Unexpectedly, the Twin-Tailed Spiritual Cat suddenly bristled its white fur and growled at Bai Jie.

It had completely lost its adorable, delicate demeanor from just a moment ago.
