Yue'er was thrilled when asked to share her experiences.

"Young Master, I was just about to tell you, after sorting out the water spiritual energy, I chose the fire element."

"But the speed slowed down, so I tried the metal element, but it wasn't fast either."

"Logically, with only three elements left, it should be faster, but extracting each strand was quite strenuous."

"At first, I thought it was a problem with my cultivation level, but later I realized it wasn't. Extracting wood and water elements was even harder, yet I didn't feel strained."

"It must be because I rarely come into contact with the fire element, so my understanding of it is lacking."

"So, I went to the kitchen to feel the fire element by lighting a fire myself."

"Unexpectedly, it worked well. Not only did I absorb a lot of fire elements, but the speed of extracting them also increased significantly."

Huang Ye gave Yue'er a thumbs up. This girl was indeed smart, not confined to conventional methods, truly a genius in cultivation.

Yue'er continued to speak enthusiastically.

"After sorting out the fire element, the remaining two were easier, but then another problem arose."

"Besides those two elements, there were some elements of unknown attributes mixed in, which I hadn't noticed before."

"So, I decided to sort out the earth element first. With soil everywhere, I just sat on the ground, and it worked well. The earth element was quickly sorted out."

"For the last metal element, I asked Sister Qing'er to borrow some weapons, which helped me understand the metal element and separate it from those unknown elements."

"Now, when I look inside myself, these elements have formed a rainbow, with a strand of unknown elements mixed in the middle."

"Yes, you've done very well, providing us with valuable experience."

"You see, those unknown elements are wind, thunder, lightning, light, darkness, and so on. These elements are hard to capture in the air, so we absorb very little of them."

"Young Master, Qing'er was wrong. Qing'er hasn't been as diligent as Yue'er these past few days."

"It's okay. Brother Xu's death has indeed affected you greatly. Just keep working hard afterward; there's no rush."

"As long as you slowly adjust your state, we'll seek revenge against those Bloodthirsty Demons in the future. Only by continuously getting stronger can we do that."

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Young Master, I understand. I will work even harder."

"Once I finish sorting, we'll continue dual cultivation, and you'll break through quickly too."

"Alright." The three continued cultivating in the room.

Huang Ye was also pondering whether it was necessary to return to the academy. After much consideration, he decided to go back.

There was still knowledge to be learned at the academy. Although the issue with techniques was resolved, the techniques only included spells, not martial arts.

He was still a blank slate in martial arts, and the System's martial arts had some merits.

Techniques like Dugu Nine Swords, Dog Beating Staff Technique, Tai Chi, and Six Meridian Divine Sword were all learned.

But these were martial arts from his past life, and he knew too little about this world's martial arts.

When fighting others, relying solely on strength and speed without understanding their martial arts meant losing three points before the battle even began.

Before finding cultivator martial arts, he could first learn martial artist martial arts, like swords, spears, and halberds, to see which suited him best.

Another aspect was the footwork in combat. Learning footwork from the old man would greatly aid the System's development.

Having set his direction, Huang Ye continued sorting the wood spiritual energy.

This time, the difficulty was greater after the upgrade, and the speed significantly reduced. There was no choice; the volume had nearly doubled, so he could only extract it strand by strand.

He used Yue'er's method this time, going to the familiar big tree to extract it, and as Yue'er said, the effect was much better.

Qing'er brought several basins of water into the room and sorted within the water's embrace.

Yue'er once again took the lead, asking Huang Ye for the third layer of techniques.

Huang Ye explained the three layers of techniques to the two girls, sharing some experiences as well. Yue'er was the first to start studying the third layer.

Before leaving, Huang Ye checked the mansion's current situation. Over ten new guards had been added, and patrol shifts increased.

Since the two girls were busy cultivating, they hadn't noticed other changes.

However, something Qing'er mentioned caught Huang Ye's attention. Besides the increase in guards, there were more black-clothed people in the mansion.

From their walking posture and aura, these people were all experts, stronger than the guards.

Huang Ye recalled the mysterious ring, suspecting these black-clothed people were a secret force cultivated by the City Lord.

The entire Silver Moon City was tense, with Bloodthirsty Demons brazenly appearing in the city, signaling an impending storm.

He remembered hearing in the tavern about cities plagued by demons, often experiencing demon invasions and massacres.

To stand firm in the storm, one must become strong. After reminding the two girls, Huang Ye left the City Lord's mansion.

Before dawn, Huang Ye returned to the Tang family.

Cultivating here was comfortable, with no worries about being exposed.

Huang Ye also received good news: Tang Xin had a breakthrough.

According to her description, it sounded like "puff puff puff," happening eleven times in total.

Huang Ye couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised her.

Father Tang provided the best cultivation environment for their sorting work.

Sorting the wood element was done in a dense forest in the courtyard, with guards patrolling outside, prohibiting anyone from entering.

The wood spiritual energy nurtured by the dense forest greatly improved Huang Ye's sorting speed, and Tang Xin's speed was even faster.

Seven days later, Huang Ye opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Damn, it was a real test of threading a needle, but he finally sorted out most of the wood spiritual energy.

Tang Xin had finished a day earlier and was now at the pond in the courtyard sorting the water element.

The pavilion at the pond's center became a restricted area, but the pond was so large that the Tang family members could still see Tang Xin sitting inside.

They couldn't understand what the Tang family's eldest daughter was doing.

Father Tang's siblings came to inquire but were chased away by Father Tang.

Huang Ye left the dense forest, which was now open, and went to the pavilion to start sorting the water element.

This time, their sorting speed improved. Tang Xin took five days, and Huang Ye took six days to finish sorting the water element.

Next was the fire element. When Huang Ye arrived, he saw four bonfires surrounding Tang Xin and couldn't help but sigh. Having a supportive father was crucial.

For the earth element, Father Tang built a circle of earth walls in the courtyard.

As for the metal element, he crafted an iron room filled with all the Tang family's treasured weapons.

Seeing the iron room, Huang Ye couldn't help but give Father Tang a thumbs up.

He finally understood why Tang Xin's cultivation speed was so fast, reaching the third level of Martial King at such a young age.

With such a lavishly supportive father, even a pig could become a genius.

After sorting the metal element, Huang Ye unceremoniously took two weapons from the iron room, a knife and a sword.

Father Tang was displeased and sternly criticized Huang Ye.

"Those two are too ordinary; you should at least pick two better weapons."

"It's fine. I'm just using them to practice martial arts; the quality doesn't matter."

"It's up to you. Anyway, the weapons are here. The Tang family rarely uses weapons, and these are spoils of war. You can take them anytime."

Huang Ye could only express his gratitude, feeling a chill down his spine as he looked at the room full of weapons.

Damn spoils of war, the owners of these weapons have probably become beehives by now.
