After 1 hour Yuki felt Akira start gathering spiritual energy.
She got surprised as until then she believed he was trash and thought, 'Wow! He felt spiritual energy as the same amount of time I took. System, can you see what his talent is?'
The system notified, 'It will cost billion angry points'
Yuki with shocked *puff* and asked, 'what the hell? Just to know someone's talent, it cost that much?'
'No,' the system replied, 'but this particular person does not wish to let anyone know his talent and have a big mystery concerning his talent, so it cost more.'
Yuki asked, 'what about other people?'
'It will be normal for people who don't care, it will be little more for people who want to hide it purposely, if the people involved in hiding it has high power, it will cost even more.'
As Yuki didn't know about the world fully she chose to ignore that. She also didn't like wasting time on useless stuff like poking her nose in other's life.
After reading Yuki thought, 'so I first need a furnace to do alchemy, I also need special wood to start a fire. System, how much does a furnace costs?' A furnace was a vessel convenient to make pills for alchemy.
'It cost 100 silver coins minimum,' the system notified, 'that will be poor quality and hard to use for a beginner like you, there are good furnaces in special categories.' It showed in the panels. In the 2nd category, there was a 3rd-grade furnace that cost 80,000 silver coins.
Yuki got shocked and shouted, 'Is there any comparison from 100 to 80,000? I don't even have 100 but where should I get 80,000.'
'Then check this in the 4th category.' It was a 9th-grade furnace that cost 100 billion silver coins even after an 89% discount.
Yuki got mad as she just understood the system was messing with her and shouted, 'Damn you, can't you be serious. I already used my 2 investors (referring to father and father-in-law), now I can't ask them for more,' then she saw Akira and smiled with a smug.
Akira opened his eyes and saw Yuki near his face. He got scared and went back on reflex, he hit the tree *awe* he shouted in pain and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yuki asked for confirmation, "I helped you to feel cosmos energy so soon right?"
Akira got a bad feeling and hesitantly agreed, "Yes."
"You know I want to become an alchemist right?"
"Come to the point."
"I need a furnace to practice but I already asked both father and father-in-law for help in herbs and alchemy methods, so as I did a favor to you, you have to give me a furnace as a gift."
"You can't be more shameless can you?"
"What do you mean by that?" she exclaimed, "If you don't want to give then just say it, you can't call a ma (suddenly changed)…girl shameless."
"But I don't have much money and I already asked my father to help with something, so I can't ask him again," Akira tried to reason without raising conflict as she was his wife, which made her disappointed. Then an idea sparked in her mind.
Yuki took Akira to the Kanakuba house. After they passed the gate, the guards talked in surprise, "hey! Did you feel that? Young master Akira also has cosmos energy."
"Did they get a blessing from heaven after marriage? They both are starting to cultivate." The guards felt the town was about to change.
Yuki and Akira went inside. Gakuto and others got surprised to see them again. Even more surprised to see that Akira had spiritual energy.
Gakuto didn't want the elders to ridicule Akira too as they did with Yuki, as he was still trash in their eyes, so he took them both to speak alone.
"Son-in-law, do you need something?" Gakuto asked, "Is my girl causing trouble?"
Akira got embarrassed to ask but asked, "father-in-law, I have a request," he was also intimidated as a son-in-law.
Gakuto with curious asked, "Ho! What is it?"
Akira hesitantly asked, "can…can you lend me some money."
Gakuto immediately understood Yuki might have brought him because normally after marriage the girl belongs to the married family, the husband wouldn't ask for a favor from his wife's family.
Gakuto saw Yuki, Yuki turned her face away. Then he saw Akira and asked, "What do you need money for? I already gave money for Yuki just this morning, so I don't have much right now. If you especially need any item, then I might look into our treasury." He couldn't turn Akira down as his daughter was in his house.
Akira with doubt said, "That..." by looking at Yuki. Yuki gave a signal as yes, so Akira asked, "I need an alchemy furnace to gift for my wife but I don't have money right now, I will pay it in the future."
"Is it for Yuki? Yuki," Gakuto projected, "what did you do with 10,000 silver coins from before?"
Akira was shocked at how a little girl could spend that much money.
"It has nothing to do with me, it's his own request and don't ask my personal affairs," Yuki murdered by dodging his question.
Akira took courage and said, "This is my request father-in-law, please don't ask her. Don't worry about Yuki. I will take good care of her."
Yuki got shocked by his claim but she became calm with his wink.
Gakuto said, "Ok, I will give a furnace but you can't have more requests in near future," as the family was planning on starting a new business, so money would be tight for them.
Akira agreed to him, "ok father-in-law."
In the Nakamura family, in the family hall
"Where did that little bitch get the courage to do this?" shouted Naoki Nakamura-family head of the Nakamura family and father of Katsuki. The elders were silent as not to provoke him at this time.
Then an elder reported, "Family head, our spies in Kanakuba family said that bitch got a powerful master. She actually had a very high talent, so the talent testing pillar in Plexus academy didn't work properly."
When Yuki was 8 years old, Gakuto took her to an academy called Plexus academy, the only academy in their kingdom. To enter the academy, students should test their talent first, as Yuki was talentless at that time she was rejected. In that kingdom, the highest cultivation one could reach was the solar plexus chakra, so they gave that name.
"Master?" responded Naoki, "how strong she can be?"
"We only know she could fly but I think she is more powerful than solar plexus chakra," replied the elder. Cultivators could fly once they enter the solar plexus chakra.
Naoki got troubled as the master was powerful but he couldn't let go of what Yuki did, "let's wait for an opportunity." He was the type of person who only takes action when things were favorable to him, even when his son lost the ability to reproduce he thought, 'I have another son.'
Katsuki in agony requested, "Father, I want her to get humiliated. I want her to get raped by 100 men in front of me."
"Don't worry son," replied Naoki gently, to not lose his reputation and cover that he was a coward, he said, "That bitch will regret being born a girl in this world."
Yuki and Akira were going home, Yuki said, "thank you for that, I will repay father, you don't need to worry about that."
"How can I let my wife do my thing," Akira teased her.
It triggered her anger, "I am not your wife," she yelled.
Akira chuckled, "don't be mad, I am just joking."

Yuki asked, 'When did angry points increase so much?'
The system suggested, 'Look at history.'
Yuki said, 'I am sure that Nakamura family people are angry with me after I humiliated that brat.'
Akira went home and Yuki went to the Hoshi shop. The shopkeeper saw her and politely greeted, "good evening young miss, do you need something?" People started to become polite to Yuki after she opened her 1st petal.
"Father-in-law already permitted for me to take herbs from the shop."
"Yes, I was informed about this, just tell me what you want and I will pack them for you."
"Ok, I want spirit vivid grass, red Tulasi leaves, clear rigid tree bark, isolated purple grass, maple grass, steam grassroots, reverse grass, thumb tree flowers. Give me 100 sets of these and also special wood."
"So many," he exclaimed, "What do you need them for young miss?"
"For alchemy practice."
"Even though they are common herbs, wasting them still hurts," he said as alchemy practice would waste many herbs before alchemist could make their first pill.
"Don't worry uncle," Yuki reassured, "have faith in me, I will pay them back. Send those to the Hoshi house as soon as possible."
"They will be there in 1 hour."
"Put them in the garden under the tree I meditated this morning."
"Yes young miss," he replied and Yuki went away.
