Cultivation Online

Chapter 391 - Family Assignment

”Yuan, are you awake? Yu Rou is on the phone, and she would like to speak with you.” Meixiu called for him after knocking on the door.

”Yu Rou? I am awake.” Yuan stopped cultivating after hearing Meixiuʼs voice.

Meixiu entered his room the next moment and placed the phone beside his pillow and the call on speaker.

”Brother?” Yu Rou called for him.

”Iʼm here, Yu Rou.”

”Itʼs been a while since I heard your voice, brother. How have you been doing?”

”Iʼve been doing great.”

”Thatʼs good to hear. First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you on your victory during the Mystic Realm! I knew youʼd crush the other participants!”

”Thank you. It was a great experience in the Mystic Realm.” Yuan said.

”I also heard that you managed to obtain an Ancient-grade servant. What kind of servant is it this time?” Yu Rou then asked.

”Her name is Lan Yingying, and sheʼs a Divine Beast like Feng Feng, but sheʼs a Divine Serpent.”

”Serpent? Does this mean sheʼs a snake? Iʼm not good with snakes…” Yu Rou spoke in a shaky voice.

”Donʼt worry, she wonʼt bite. And sheʼs usually in her human form, so you donʼt even realize that sheʼs a snake most of the time.”

”Oh, she can transform like Feng Feng? Thatʼs interesting. Can all Divine Beasts do that?”

”I heard all magical beasts can transform into humans if they reach a certain cultivation base.”

”I see… Can you tell me a little of what you experienced inside the Mystic Realm? After that, I will tell you some good news!” Yu Rou said.

”Okay.”

Yuan proceeded to recall his experience in the Mystic Realm and the Ancient Dragon City to Yu Rou through the phone.

”Whoa! You got to meet dragons and go to a world above the clouds? I am jealous! If only I was there with you…” Yu Rou sighed.

And she continued, ”Yet that Wang girl… Ah, forget it. I will make up for it in a month.”

”Hm? What are you talking about?” Yuan asked her.

”Hehe! Guess what, brother. My school will be closing early due to too many students skipping school to play Cultivation Online! Therefore, starting next month, I will be able to play every day!” Yu Rou revealed.

”What? They can do that?” Yuan was dumbfounded by this.

”Apparently.”

”What are your plans now that thereʼs no school?” Yuan asked her.

”I am going to play Cultivation Online seriously and try to be the first to obtain enough stats to use the Frozen Jade Zither.” Yu Rou said.

”The Frozen Jade Zither?”

”Yes. Father said whoever gets enough stats to wield it gets to use it.” Yu Rou said.

”I see…”

”The requirements… I will probably need to be around Spirit Master before I can wield it, right?”

”Considering the requirements, yes…”

”Brother, since youʼre number one when it comes to cultivation, do you have any tips for your cute little sister thatʼll help me cultivate faster?” Yu Rou asked him.

”Honestly, I donʼt even cultivate normally according to Xiao Hua and the others. I consume monster cores to increase my cultivation, but thatʼs only possible because of my unique physique. As for normal players like you, I think the best thing to do is find a superior cultivation technique.” Yuan said.

”I see… A superior cultivation technique, huh? Looks like I will have to either buy it from the auction house or something…” Yu Rou sighed.

”Huh? Youʼre going to buy it from the auction house? Why?” Yuan immediately asked.

”Well, thatʼs where most people get their desired items nowadays, not to mention the marketplace. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to obtain techniques and treasures in the game? You might not be aware since youʼre blessed by the gods in that game, we ordinary players have to slave ourselves to obtain even an ordinary technique. Luckily for me, I have some cash saved up, so I should be able to buy a decent cultivation technique.ʼ

”Yu Rou, letʼs not be hasty and waste your money. If you need a good cultivation technique, I will try to find one for you— and itʼll be free.” Yuan said.

”R-Really?!” Yu Rouʼs excited voice quickly resounded.

”Yes. I am going to help Meixiu find her cultivation technique after the Dragon Temple. At that time, I will try to look for one for you as well.”

”Thank you, brother! Muah!” Yu Rou kissed him through the phone.

”Anyways, I am going to go now. Because the school will be closing early, they are going to cramp all of the lessons together, meaning I will be busier than ever. See you later, brother! You too, Meixiu!”

Yu Rou hung up shortly after.

Once Yu Rou left, Yuan returned to his cultivation whilst Meixiu continued spending her time on the internet.

Meanwhile, inside Cultivation Online, a young lady knocked on the doors to Yuanʼs living quarters and patiently waited for him to come out.

However, when nobody showed up even many minutes later, the young lady turned around and left his place, returning to her own home that was only next door.

”I wanted to congratulate him for taking first place in the Mystic Realm, but alas…” Min Li sighed.

After spending some time inside her own room, Min Li noticed her communication jade slip trembling. Somebody was trying to send a message to her.

She activated the communication jade slip to hear the message.

”Min Li, our parents have ordered you to meet with this ʼDisciple Yuanʼ from the Dragon Essence Temple and make him join the Min Family! Even if he already belongs to another family, do whatever you must to make him join us!”

Min Li was speechless after listening to this message that came from one of her elder brothers.

The family has assigned her to make Disciple Yuan join the Min Family? They must have heard about his achievements in the Mystic Realm.

”What a headache…” she sighed.
