At night when Yuki sat to meditate, the system notified, 'a spirit power control technique include in the information you brought, so I will teach you that tonight.' It was talking about the 5000 angry points purchase.
'Ho! So martial arts can be brought with angry points?' Yuki asked with widen eyes.
'It is also information, so it can be done but you can't afford high-level techniques.'
'So this technique is just 1st rank?'
'Yes, 1st high rank in this world terms, it is not useful for fights but for beginner alchemist like you, it will decrease 99% of your efforts in concentration and save a lot of time.'
'Interesting!' Yuki nodded while holding her chin. She didn't waste any time and made a move on that.
After 2 days, on the night Yuki was meditating under the tree when hair-thin wisps of red color energy started to surround her and became like a cocoon, she could be seen through that collection of wisps like a net.
As the cocoon enveloped her completely, red light started to emit from her body, inside she lifted her head 60 degrees upward with the most pleasant face she ever had in her life like her mind was cleansed of all the useless things.
Then all the light and wisps got absorbed into her suddenly. 'Congratulations host, you entered the 1st door of the spirit cultivation.'
She opened her eyes, she felt very refreshed and there was no stress in her mind, 'good, I am confident in making pill on my first try but before that, system, I am going to make people angry to get angry points right? Will it add to my sin?'
'Yes,' the system replied before Yuki completed her sentence.
Yuki's head bent forward in an instant because she just got the awareness of sin after her mind got reset, 'then why did the universe put me on this trail? Isn't making me a girl is enough of a punishment for whatever I did?'
The system gave a pause and explained, 'host should stop misunderstanding that this is a punishment. I can assure you that this is not your punishment, the universe has its plans, you can know that plan if you spend 100 billion angry points.'
That gave Yuki a big relief, if it was not a punishment, then she got a feeling that the universe would change her into a boy if she completes the mission.
'Ok,' Yuki replied, 'now I will start making pill.'
'Don't get full of yourself, you still need to pass the 3 mosquitoes challenge and one more thing, your first try is already over.'
That hit Yuki in the head, her cheeks became red, 'can't you give me some moment of happiness?' she said with a pout.
She saw her first page.

Her face suddenly glowed with a smile and widened brows, 'wow! Even after using 5000 points, in 4 days I still got 10,328, I don't know why people hate me so much.'
The system replied, 'You are repulsive in nature.'
Yuki got her self-esteem hurt, while placing palm on her chest she said, 'stop saying stupid things. That hurts.'
She went to the room, lit the lamp and started identifying the mosquitoes in the small light of the lamp.
The system said, "1." Yuki pointed in a direction and a mosquito was there.
"3."
Yuki pointed in a direction and there was a mosquito. The system said, "Wrong, that is number 2, try again. 1." Yuki started to practice hard as usual but this time there was more enthusiasm.
Even though she failed many times she didn't lose her patience.
The next day she came out with chest towards the sky, arrogant written all over her face, she shouted, "I completed my training,"
The elders in the house heard that and got encouraged again but they were on their own plan in case if Yuki fails.
'You are not giving your devilish laugh,' the system reminded.
'Ho! I forgot that,' said Yuki and laughed *muwahahahahaha*
The elder guarding her scratched his head for her behavior.
Yuki went, sat under the tree and started making pills in the furnace. She put the herbs, extracted the essence and started condensing the pill with help of spirit power.
Spirit power helps to preserve the pill for a long time adding power to the pill. She did it with ease, 'they are forming into many.'
As soon as the pills formed, they came out of the hole at top of the furnace and she caught them like a pro with a smirk.
'I... made it? Muwahahaha, I made it in the first try see,' she thought with nose above the horizon.
To control her the system said, 'don't get excited, those are only 7% quality, you need at least 30% quality to be graded as trainee alchemist.'
Yuki with a smug replied, 'You are just saying that to not get slapped on the face.'
'Fine, I won't help you any more; you are all grown up now.'
Yuki got worried, 'I am sorry, I won't say it again,' by joining her hands as prayer.
'Good, you know your place.'
Yuki with one side mouth thought, 'Why does a system have attitude?'
'I can hear you.'
Yuki mockingly replied, 'I said that so that you can hear me,'
She started making more pills. As she did more pills, the quality started to increase. In the next 2 days, her quality went to 40%. She was exhausted from continuously using her spirit power and spiritual energy and fell on her back.
She gazed upon the beautiful clouds in the sky. She was enjoying the joy of success and fell asleep.
Yuki woke up with a blanket on her, her body felt like long soaked noodles and felt little her body weigh a ton, 'How long it's been since I fell asleep?'
'8 hours,' answered the system.
'Is this all necessary?' asked Yuki, 'sigh, what am I thinking,' her body and mind were exhausted from taking rest after a few days, she fell on back again and closed her eyes to get some more sleep.
Then Gakuto's words came to her mind, 'she is the reason I could hold my family this long even with leeches like you, it's her encouragement,' Yuki suddenly opened her eyes with a serious face.
She got up and rubbed her face, 'I could neglect anyone but not her father, by system's explanation she always wanted to support her father, besides I am the one who caused this mess. I must settle his family well before I leave this place, how could I take rest at this time?'
'Sometimes people feel like everything they did was waste, it was temporary feeling so don't feel guilty. It happens to everyone,' the system encouraged her.
Then Yuki got an idea that snapped her out of sluggishness, as she was planning on forming organization, she decided to recruit talents as a refreshing experience, 'system, can you find talented people?'
'There are many ways, first is you can choose person, it will take 100 angry points for each person. You can also search in a certain area with a certain radius but that will only show talents, you need additional angry points to know their location.'
'How much will it cost for a 1 km radius search?'
'If you want every person's talent, then it will cost 100 angry points for a 1km radius.'
Yuki suddenly lost all of her energy, 'what the? Is there no way like if I want to find a talented person, you will show him?'
'For each person, it cost 5000 angry points for all and any range of talent.'
She immediately changed her side, 'ok, the second method is good but what if I only want talent in spirit?'
'Then it will cost 40 angry points for a 1km radius.'
'Good, I only need an alchemist assistant for now.' Yuki checked the town map and surrounding villages. After she decided, she went to the edge of the town, 'the town other end is 20 km from here and there is a village 15 km away from this point, its end is 5 more km to that side, so I calculated and 27km radius will cover this town and that village. Ok system; scan spirit talent around 27 km who are above 4 stars.'
The system notified, 'It cost 700 angry points, activate scan,' it was less than what she expected, 'scan complete.'
'So soon?'
'There is only 1 person with such talent.'
Yuki hunched by lowering head, 'that's it.'
'People in this continent struck in 2 chakras for centuries, so the off springs' talent also got declined,' the system explained.
'What is his age?'
'It cost 5 angry points.'
'Use it.'
'He is 12 years old.'
'He is good, find me his location.'
The system showed the location. Yuki got happy for the system's help. As it was a villager she felt it would be easy to recruit him, so she started to run in that direction.
The elder who was protecting her in secret got confused about where she was going and followed her.
After running the whole distance Yuki reached the village while panting, she was expecting to have high stamina because she was a cultivator now.
'Essence is different from body cultivation and body cultivation is the thing that gives stamina, essence only gives strength,' the system explained, 'host still need to cultivate body techniques, you have 1 in your inventory.'
'I will do it later, first let me find that kid,' she replied and went to the location.
