Isn't This a Game? Why Are You All Cultivating for Real!

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Can’t Fit It All, I Really Can’t

"The Sect Warehouse? Awesome!"

Song Jiulai was ecstatic.

She had always worried about having only a Jiezidai, as it could easily be controlled by others.

But the system warehouse was different.

’Who would dare touch anything in the warehouse, besides the system itself!’

Song Jiulai studied the system warehouse.

This system warehouse was essentially an alternative type of Jiezidai.

It was her own small, separate space.

And the space wasn’t small either—about three hundred square meters.

It was a sealed space.

This was perfect. Now she had a place to store things she couldn’t carry, couldn’t sell immediately, but was too reluctant to throw away.

Plus, any Magic Treasures she snatched in the future could be hidden away in this warehouse.

Song Jiulai rubbed her arm, which was aching from her extensive injuries. "Not bad," she said. "My Fourth-rank Elixir wasn’t wasted. This was totally worth it!"

She had so many injuries that even a Fourth-rank Elixir wasn’t working that well anymore.

For instance, the sword wound inflicted by Yi Tianhe had yet to heal and still looked rather horrifying.

But compared to the excitement she had just experienced, the injury was nothing to worry about.

With the system as her backup, Song Jiulai always tended to be a bit more aggressive.

Unless she was certain she couldn’t afford to provoke someone.

But those two petty thieves scammed her out of her Black Gold Glaze Grass and then dared to ambush her. The absolute nerve!

How could she possibly let that slide?

For now, she didn’t go anywhere else. After finding a hiding spot, she sat in meditation, circulating her mental method to recover her Spiritual Energy.

She had broken through to the Late-stage Qi Refining in one go, but her injuries were severe. The Spiritual Energy within the Secret Realm surged into her body with even greater frenzy.

Compared to her previous cultivation speed, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in this Secret Realm was outrageous.

Now that Song Jiulai had broken through, the Spiritual Energy replenished her depleted, injured body, leaving her feeling even more full of power than before.

After resting in the Secret Realm for a day and making a full recovery, Song Jiulai realized that with just one more push, she wouldn’t be far from the bottleneck of the Late-stage Qi Refining.

This left Song Jiulai, who had never enjoyed such a benefit, speechless. "This is insane! Where in the world does all the Spiritual Energy in this Secret Realm come from?"

System: "This is normal. Disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect can reach Foundation Establishment within ten days of starting their cultivation. That should tell you how vast the difference in Spiritual Energy is between places. Some places have little, and what they have is impure. The more major the Sect, the purer its Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy in Wang’an County is far too impure."

Song Jiulai’s heart skipped a beat. "You mean, if I keep cultivating in this Secret Realm for a few more days, I might reach Foundation Establishment?"

’And I’ve only just entered one Secret Realm!’

System: "It’s possible, but not guaranteed. I can feel the energy in this Secret Realm becoming unstable. It’ll probably close in a few days."

Hearing that it would close in a few days, Song Jiulai couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.

This gave her an even greater sense of urgency.

’The Secret Realm is about to close, but I haven’t finished gathering everything yet!’

’This whole Secret Realm is full of Spirit Grass! Are Second and Third Rank plants really not worth picking up?!’

As soon as she recovered, Song Jiulai immediately set off to fleece the Secret Realm. If she didn’t take advantage of this opportunity now, who knew when another one this good would come along.

Then, she received another piece of bad news.

The system informed her, "I can’t accept any more First and Second Rank items. My Energy Pool is at its storage limit."

It was like a bolt from the blue for Song Jiulai. "What did you say?"

The system explained, "It takes energy to list the Spirit Grass in the Sect’s exchange. Otherwise, wouldn’t I just be letting you abuse an infinite warehouse bug?"

Song Jiulai felt her world come crashing down. "How can this be? Weren’t you able to convert Magic Treasures into energy? Just absorb all the First and Second Rank Spirit Grass!!"

If the system were a person, it would have been completely speechless. "What do you think I am, a garbage disposal? That Magic Treasure could be converted because it was deemed valuable. First and Second Rank Spirit Grass aren’t valuable enough. Besides, that was a one-time thing. Even if you pulled out another Black Demon Seal, I wouldn’t be able to convert it."

Song Jiulai stared at the First-rank spirit grass before her, unable to pick it up.

A chill crept into her heart.

Who would have thought that a day would come when so much wealth was laid out before her, and she couldn’t even pick it up.

’If only there were a Spirit Stone bank right now...’

Meanwhile, the players watched as the Sect Master continuously removed items from the Sect’s exchange. Before long, everything was replaced with Third-rank Spirit Grass.

The players were stunned.

"Holy crap, she’s so loaded she can’t even pick up First and Second Rank Spirit Grass anymore?"

"It’s all Third Rank now! Where the hell did the Sect Master get so rich?"

"If she’s getting rich, why isn’t she taking us with her?!"

Song Jiulai wept as she abandoned the First and Second Rank Spirit Grass.

’Next time, I’m definitely bringing more players with me,’ she thought.

Still, she had fleeced pretty much everything she could.

This Secret Realm was vast.

Spirit Grass was the most common resource. The dense Spiritual Energy caused Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials to grow in abundance, and many of them were high-level.

An opportunity like this was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

If her storage for Third-rank Spirit Grass filled up, so be it. There was still plenty of even higher-rank Spirit Grass to be found.

In the past few days of gathering, aside from running into Lü Rufeng and Yi Tianhe, Song Jiulai hadn’t encountered any other disciples.

Yi Tianhe, on the other hand, had been devastated after Lü Rufeng was ejected from the Secret Realm. But since no misfortune had befallen her yet, she could only grit her teeth and press on with the trial.

Second and Third Rank Spirit Grass was everywhere, but these Sect Disciples looked right past it.

Their Jiezidai had limited space, and better treasures awaited them. Why would they waste space on such common items?

Not everyone was like Song Jiulai, who had a system that let her exploit a bug to constantly offload Spirit Grass.

「On the fifth day in the Secret Realm」

Three disciples from the Extreme Saint Sect arrived at the place where Song Jiulai had fought Lü Rufeng and Yi Tianhe.

One of the disciples spoke up, a hint of confusion in his voice. "Junior Brother, doesn’t something feel off? The seniors told us that Master Liuyao of this Secret Realm was skilled not only in Beast Taming but also in refining Elixir Pills. They said Spirit Grass should be planted everywhere around her dwelling. So why have we walked all this way without seeing even a few stalks of First-rank spirit grass?"

Besides, this was a Secret Realm. With its dense Spiritual Energy and lack of meddlesome demon beasts, it was the perfect environment for Spirit Grass to grow rampantly.

First and Second Rank Spirit Grass should be visible everywhere along the path, with the occasional Third-rank Spirit Grass mixed in.

Those things were common and usually beneath their notice.

But they had been walking for so long this time and hadn’t seen more than a few stalks of even First-rank spirit grass.

It didn’t quite match what the seniors had told them, did it?

The one he addressed as Junior Brother was also confused. He scratched his head. "Maybe they were all eaten by demon beasts this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Extreme Saint Sect disciple in the lead suddenly frowned. "The Nine Netherworld Spider... is dead?"

The corpse of the Nine Netherworld Spider lay silently on the ground.

Yi Tianhe had been so heartbroken at the time that she hadn’t paid any attention to the Nine Netherworld Spider’s corpse, wandering away in a daze.

Her demand for the corpse had just been a pretext to trick Song Jiulai.

It was only a Third-rank Demon Beast, after all.

And Song Jiulai, after snatching the Magic Treasure, had run off without a second glance.

So the corpse had been left right here.
