Lily remained silent for a mont before finally speaking again.
"Master, the Spirit Farm can't expand any further. Don't you think it's ti to claim your rewards for your disciples reaching Gold Rank?"
Ace blinked.
"Rewards?"
As if on cue, a series of notifications flooded his vision.
[Congratulations! Your disciples have reached Gold Rank! You received 2 x 2M EXP.]
[You've obtained a Farm Spirit.]
[Your Spirit Bot has leveled up by 1.]
[Your farm has leveled up by 10.]
[ 41 plots of land unlocked.]
[ 22 tree-growing plots unlocked.]
New System Features Unlocked:
[You've unlocked the Spirit Beast Connection Shop.]
[You've unlocked Spirit Kitchen.]
[You've unlocked Spirit Winery.]
Staring at the word 'Spirit' plastered all over his notifications, Ace exhaled a long, weary sigh.
It was everywhere—Spirit Beast Connection, Spirit Kitchen, Spirit Winery.
With a resigned shake of his head, he muttered under his breath,
"At this rate, even my breakfast is going to be called 'Spirit Toast.'"
"Master! Master! Look, look!" Lily's excited voice rang out as she practically bounced in place.
A golden light enveloped her, shimring with divine brilliance as if she had ascended to an entirely new realm.
Ace squinted. Did she change?
Nope.
Despite the dramatic glow, Lily looked exactly the sa—no taller, no change in aura, nothing.
Did she advance? Was her sealed cultivation released? Ace had no clue.
But judging by Lily's lack of interest in herself, neither did she.
Instead, she eagerly pointed at a tiny, fluttering figure nearby.
"Master, what's her na?"
Ace blinked. Her?
Hovering mid-air was a small, fairy-like creature, delicate and radiant, with translucent wings that shimred like morning dew under sunlight.
"...What is that?" he asked, leaning in.
Lily huffed, placing her hands on her hips. "Hey, don't be rude! This right here is the farm spirit!" She puffed her chest proudly. "She's amazing! She can improve the farmland altogether!"
Ace tilted his head. "...Oh. Okay."
Lily bead. "You should na her, Master!"
The tiny farm spirit even gave a small nod, as if agreeing.
Ace didn't overthink it. The first na that popped into his head ca out.
"I'll call you… Rei."
He nodded to himself.
"Yeah, sounds about right. Rei it is."
The little spirit, as if in acknowledgent, twirl in the air.
"Master! Master!"
The voice was unmistakable—Liu i's.
Ace didn't linger in the system space any longer. With a thought, he stepped out, re-entering the real world just in ti to see Liu i practically bouncing on her feet, eyes shining with excitent.
"Excited to see your mother, I see," he remarked, watching as she clutched an item shaped like a tiny silver lotus in her hands.
"Yes! Yes, Master!" Liu i bead, holding up a delicate hairpin—the one her mother had given her long ago.
The way she handled it, carefully tracing its edges, spoke volus about how much it ant to her.
Then, out of nowhere—
"Thank you, Master," she whispered, looking up at him with genuine gratitude.
Ace smiled softly, ruffling her hair before leaning down to press a light kiss to the top of her head.
"You're welco," he said simply. "Now, let's go find Shan Yifeng and head back to the village."
"Yes!" she cheered, spinning on her heels and bolting out the door, already shouting for Yifeng.
….
….
The trio didn't waste any ti. After making their preparations, they departed from Gryphon Mountain, leaving behind a simple yet important note for the Hua Family:
"If you ever need to purchase spirit vegetables or other products, visit Catfish Village."
Ace glanced at the ssage one last ti before placing it securely at the gate.
Now that I have a divine cultivation manual, tailor-made just for ... my progress will be faster than ever. Which ans I'll need an abundance of resources.
The thought lingered in his mind as he straightened up. His path forward was clear—growth, cultivation, and endless possibilities.
"Master, master! Hurry up!" Liu i's eager voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
She tugged at his sleeve, her tone sweet and impatient, eyes sparkling with excitent.
Shan Yifeng stood beside her, hands on his hips, pretending to be indifferent—but the barely contained anticipation in his expression betrayed him.
Ace chuckled, shaking his head.
"Alright, alright. I'm done. I'll just leave this note here… and there, done."
With a final glance back, he turned to them with a grin.
"Now, let's go."
….
[You can skip this para block and wait for the next chapter or mock after reading it, I just couldn't hold the urge.] (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
Ah, the sweet, sweet taste of progress!
The last ti they made this journey from Catfish Village, it took them a whole week.
Yes, an entire seven days. And why, you ask?
Because our dear protagonist, Ace, was a peak Warrior Rank—which, in layman's terms, ant he had the stamina of an old man hauling sacks of rice up a mountain.
But this ti! This ti, things were different.
The kids? Already Gold Rank. A terrifying feat for their age.
If the big shots of the cultivation world caught wind of this, they'd be sharpening their swords, preparing kidnapping manuals, and scheduling "polite interrogations" to uncover their secrets.
Because let's be real—a ten-year-old reaching Silver Rank is already insane. Gold Rank? Downright illegal.
And to make things worse, these little monsters didn't just cultivate for years to reach this level. Nope. They did it in—what? A year? Half a year? Three months?? Honestly, even I've lost track.
So, logically speaking, now that everyone was Gold Rank, the journey back should be lightning-fast, right?
Wrong.
Because—plot twist!—there's an anomaly in the ranks.
Ace, bless his delusional heart, interjected with a confident "Ahem, I'm still at peak Silver Rank."
Tch. You think I don't know you're still stuck in Major Silver?
Ace imdiately went silent, wisely choosing to not argue with the voice of reason. Good for him but oh, he wasn't safe yet.
Even the inner voice, that usually lounged around doing nothing, scoffed in his mind.
"Boy, you're holding your disciples back."
Oof. Double-tead by both reality and the peanut gallery in his head.
Ace wisely chose to focus on the road ahead, pretending he didn't hear a thing.
And then, just in ti to spare him from further existential crisis—the village of Catfish finally ca into view.
And with that, dear readers, we continue our story.
