Feng Wu could put her uncle aside for the time being.

After Yu Mingye left, Feng Wu lay down on her bed and went over the current situation in her head.

Her top priority now was to purchase Grand Secretary Fang’s manor next door. Her family was in urgent need of spiritual stones for their cultivation, and Feng Wu wanted to make use of the spiritual stone lode underground and turn the Fang manor into a spiritual formation, which would help their cultivation greatly.

The next thing on her list was to get into Imperial College. Only then would Jun Linyuan give her that broken star piece… Feng Wu was instantly motivated when she reminded herself that her beautiful master could wake up for a brief moment.

As for Little Phoenix, it had gone into hibernation after swallowing the abnormal flame bead and wouldn’t wake up for a while.

Feng Wu visited the dry well in the Fang manor in the middle of the night, where she asked Feng Tutu to get a few spiritual stones for the others to use in their cultivation.

“Top-grade spiritual stones? Sister, I didn’t know we had them!” Feng Xiaoqi was exhilarated.

“Of course we have them. Use as many as you want.” Feng Wu was very free with other people’s money.

She gave five each to Feng Xiaoqi, Uncle Qiu, and Qiuling.

Uncle Qiu was thrilled. “Miss, I – I think I should stick with medium-grade spiritual stones. The top-grade ones are too valuable…”

Feng Wu stuffed the stones into Uncle Qiu’s hands. “We have more than enough. Feel free to do whatever you want with them. The most important thing is to improve your cultivation levels.”

Uncle Qiu was greatly touched.

Even the masters of other families couldn’t get their hands on top-grade spiritual stones, to say nothing of servants…

Qiuling was even more flustered. “Miss, I… I think low-grade spiritual stones are good enough for me.”

Qiuling was the only Level 1 Spiritual Master here and she thought she would be wasting the high quality stones… Just imagine how much gold they could trade these stones for. She couldn’t bring herself to use them.

Feng Wu shook her head. Spiritual stones filled the underground tunnels of the manor next door — there was an entire spiritual stone lode. Once she purchased that manor, it would be like a rocket for her and her family in their cultivation.

Therefore, she had to have that lode, regardless of the cost.

The following day.

Shortly after daybreak.

“Sister! Sister!” Feng Xiaoqi rushed into Feng Wu’s room in excitement.

“Yes?” Feng Wu was in the middle of getting dressed and she looked at her brother in bewilderment.

“Sister!!!” Feng Xiaoqi’s cheeks were flushed. “I made it to Level 4! I’m a Level 4 Spiritual Master! Sister, do you hear me?”

Feng Xiaoqi was trembling with excitement.

Level 4? Already? Didn’t she just get him back the day before yesterday? Feng Wu examined him and saw that he was right!

“How did you do it?” Even Feng Wu was curious.

“I don’t know.” Feng Xiaoqi was at a loss. “Remember those five spiritual stones you gave me yesterday?”

Feng Wu nodded. “Yup.”

“I didn’t want them to get stolen, so I put them under my pillow and slept on them.”

Feng Wu nodded. “Yup.”

“When I woke up this morning, I saw that all five stones were in tiny pieces —” Feng Xiaoqi’s eyes sparkled and his long eyelashes reminded one of two little fans. He said in an innocent tone, “Then, I realized that I had become a Level 4 Spiritual Master. I don’t know how I got there.”

Feng Wu was speechless.

“Sister, do you know why?” Feng Xiaoqi asked innocently as he tugged on Feng Wu’s sleeve.

Feng Wu rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath.

How unfair.

“Sister? Sister?” Feng Xiaoqi tugged on Feng Wu’s sleeve.

Feng Wu said, “… What?”

“Why aren’t you talking to me? Why did the spiritual stones break and why did I make a breakthrough? Why?” The boy looked confused.

Feng Wu said grumpily, “Feng Xiaoqi, stop asking already. I’m feeling very defeated at the moment, so don’t make it worse.”

“Huh?” Feng Xiaoqi scratched his head. “Sister, I…”

Feng Wu chuckled.

“Sister, you’re not mad! I was so scared.” Feng Xiaoqi let out a breath of relief.

Feng Wu rubbed his head. “Xiaoqi, I kept you from cultivating for the past five years. and you followed my instructions without fail. You never tried to practice behind my back. It’s time you earned your reward.”

Feng Wu would have cultivated in secret if she were him.

But Xiaoqi was such an obedient boy. Feng Wu told him not to cultivate and he really hadn’t for five years.

He deserved to make such rapid progress.

Just then —

“Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu —”

An excited voice came from outside.

Chaoge?

It was indeed her. Feng Wu turned around and saw Duan Chaoge rush into the yard.

“Xiao Wu —” Chaoge was still chubby, but she looked a lot more proportionate already. “I can finally see you! It’s so hard to find you. I almost broke into a fight with them.”

Feng Wu smiled. “Why are you here so early?”

“After yesterday, how could I not come visit you? I would have come last night, but I was afraid they would think I was a thief.” Chaoge beamed at Feng Wu. “Wait, why are you reading these?”

A few books were scattered around on Feng Wu’s desk.

Chaoge flipped through them in passing and her eyes flickered. “Why, aren’t they the reading materials for Imperial College’s literacy test? What do you need them for?”

Feng Wu raised an eyebrow. “To take the exam, of course.”

“But…” Chaoge paused, then said hesitantly, “But don’t you have to be at least a Level 9 Spiritual Master to get into Imperial College?”

And Feng Wu didn’t have any cultivation ability, did she?

She wasn’t even qualified to apply.

Feng Wu smiled. “That won’t be a problem.”

“Huh?” Chaoge was confused.

Feng Wu gave a wave of her hand and a magpie on the roof nearby tumbled down… When it almost hit the ground, Feng Wu pinched her fingers together and the bird was suspended in mid-air.

Chaoge was astonished!

Turning around, she looked at Feng Wu in disbelief.

Feng Wu grinned.

Chaoge said, “Xiao Wu… are you telling me that… you actually can cultivate?”

Feng Wu’s smile broadened.

“Ahhh —”

Chaoge’s thrilled cry almost tore the roof off!

Covering her mouth with both hands, Chaoge burst into tears.

Oh god —

Xiao Wu wasn’t a good-for-nothing. She was awesome. She really was —

Chaoge was dazed on the spot at the discovery. Her head went blank and she didn’t know where to put her hands. It was more exciting than experiencing a breakthrough herself.

“Xiao Wu, you have your ability back, sob — You can cultivate… You’re not useless… I knew it….” Chaoge couldn’t stop her tears and she almost passed out from crying.

Feng Wu had no choice but to calm her down.
