Of the manuals that Mu Yueliang had received one appeared to be similar to the cultivation manuals that some hidden ancient families kept. The manual helped to increase the amount of energy in the ability core and its purity. The purer the energy the more strength it contained. If you could purify your energy then it would also last longer therby lessening the chances of exhausting yourself completely and being left defenseless. The manual itself could be used to gather energy from the stars and moon therein helping to increase the abilities. However this could only be done at night time otherwise the effect would lessen immensely therefore the need for crystal nuclei still remained. The others contained different types of medicinal information about the whereabouts of the herbs and how to grow and care for them. As well different types of pill recipes, acupuncture , and massages.
Upon sorting out the majority of the information received Mu Yueliang opened her eyes and stood only to find a chubby doll like child around the age of five right infront of her looking like he was about to cry. Upon seeing her get up the little finally look at him the little bun rushed to Mu Yueliang and jumped on her.
"Master!!!" the chubby little bun exclaimed while smiling brightly.
"Are the space's spirit? " questioned Mu Yueliang.
"Yes, it's nice to meet you master," said the little bun with sparkling eyes " Before I was only able to see you but I wasn't able to contact you. However now that you completed the contract of the space I'll be able to talk and help you. "
" How can you help me? " Mu Yueliang pondered.
"I can do many things like helping you harvest the plants and helping you grow them." the little bun exclaimed proudly " I can help you with anything so long as it is in this space and I can even show you around the different areas that you have unlocked. "
"Really? Then thanks a lot then. I'll have to rely on you for a while. " she said as she thought of whether the little bun could help her care for the animals she planned to raise as well.
"Ahh!!! I forgot to ask you your name." exclaimed Mu Yueliang.
" I'm a spirit that was born while the old owner of the space was resting therefore I haven't been named yet." the little bun tearfully replied. Suddenly seeming to have thought of something the little buns eyes sparkled and it seemed as if their were thousands of stars in them.
" Master can you name me. " he pleaded pitifully. Seeing how they would be together for a long time and had a contract together Mu Yueliang decided that it would be best to get along with the child.
"Hmm...how about Yuanjun." questioned Mu Yueliang.
Yuanjun's eyes shone with joy as his chubby little cheeks flushed pink. He then once more tightened his hold on Mu Yueliang and shouted happily, "Yes!!!" . He smiled brightly and giggled in happiness.
Seeing how happy the little bun, Yuanjun was Mu Yueliang faintly smiled while thinking that it wouldn't be a bad thing to have the little bun as company. Once he had settled down Yuanjun led her to the study that had a connected practice room for medicine. Although she had the knowledge and the senior's experience she had to practice inorder to fully integrate the knowledge. Upon seeing the cupboards filled with the many different herbs Mu Yueliang was shocked.
"How can it be like this!" she exclaimed in shocked confusion. It shouldn't have been possible. The senior had passed long ago and his soul was asleep in order to preserve itself. so how could the cupboards be so full and the herbs so vibrant.
Looking at her shocked face Xiao Yuanjun smugly explained, "During the time that the old owner of the space was sleeping I had been taking care of all the plants and herbs in the space. Moreover all the plants that have ripened even if left unpicked would continue to look fresh . This is because anything that enters or is being grown is preserved. The space also has multiple caves in the mountains where you can store things that you bring and they will stay the same because the caves have a preservation function that stops time in them.
"That's incredible, " exclaimed Mu Yueliang in surprise. Her eyes widened and then began to shine. If this was really true then she wouldn't have to worry about food going to waste and she could stock up on all types of ready made meals and snacks that had been long gone after the first few years of the apocalypse.
Upon thinking of all the candies, snacks, and chocolates that she would be able to collect and buy Mu Yueliang's usually cold face brightened. Her eyes shone in a jade like luster glimmering and her bright smile caused her eyes to squint slightly. That child like look of delight that had disappeared once her grandfather passed away could blow any person away through her sheer beauty.
Shaking herself out of her daze Mu Yueliang was then led into the cultivation room and began to look at the training manual because in order to be able to refine pills she would first need to build up her natal flame from her own powers. Upon recalling the manuals information Mu Yueliang sat down with her legs crossed and began to attempt to feel the aura around her. For the next two months she would be having to cultivate inside of the space as the aura in the world wouldn't be released until the apocalypse began.
Beginning with feeling what was around her Mu Yueliang started to feel the wisps of aura around her. They were erratic just whizzing around everywhere. Seeing as she wasn't able to chase them down she instead began coaxing them towards herself. As she collected the wisps of aura into her body she began to notice how there were different colored wisps and how she was only able to collect some which were colored green, silvery-white, and a purple black respectively.
Mu Yueliang continued to coax the wisps for hours before she began to show signs of slowing down as if being blocked. Upon standing up she felt that her momentum had increased a lot. While it didn't feel like her abilities were at level two her energy reserves had increased exponentially and their lethality had also increased.
Standing up she decided to begin preparing and searching for all different types of supplies. Having chosen to leave Mu Yueliang then was about to go out only to be stopped by the little bun. Xiao Yuanjun tearfully looked at her.
"Master, are you leaving? " he questioned.
"Yes, I need to go out and begin gathering a few things" replied Mu Yueliang softly. The little bun held onto her tighter.
"Can you not go" Xiao Yuanjun pleaded with tears about to fall.
"I have to but I'll be back soon and I will bring you some good things." said Mu Yueliang coaxingly. Having pacified the little bun for a while longer she then left the space.
