What brought Wei YunXiang a headache is that she seems to have no close friends. Wei YunXiang always loved following her elders around and staying inside the Wei Mansion.
She basically has no other social life aside from her family.
"It's quite a headache being a kid." She massaged the middle of her brows as she sighed helplessly.
However, Wei YunXiang never wished to grow up quickly as she knew from her previous life's memories that being an adult is not the best thing to be.
Right now, what she wants is to enjoy being a little girl with no worries.
She just wanted to be a little young miss from a prominent family. Eating and drinking to enjoy life. Although she can't do exaggerated things like wasting her life like that as she still has some ambitions, Wei YunXiang also wouldn't waste her youth thinking about adult problems.
Since she has a reliable family, she'll enjoy being worry-free for now.
"Well, let's sleep first." She can't hold back her yawn anymore.
The lamp beside her bed was turned off, putting the room into a peaceful darkness beneath the night sky.
The next morning, Wei Yunxiang woke up early.
She took advantage of the rich spiritual energy from the morning sun to circulate her cultivation technique and successfully shortened her cultivation by an hour. She has another wish of spiritual energy by practicing for two hours in the morning.
"Well, that's it for now." Wei YunXiang stretched her body and then rang her bell to call for the maids.
The same process of taking a bath, choosing her clothing then walking along the blue pavements to the main hall.
This time, she's wearing a light green robe, with her hair tied in a bun by a green jade hairpin, her accessories small leaf-shaped earrings, and a small but thick green jade bracelet.
All of them are at least mortal-grade artifacts and the green jade bracelet is a Grade 1 defensive artifact made from a precious Green Leaf Jade where a rich wood spiritual energy emanates.
They are her things when she's still a mortal with no spiritual energy. They can be activated without the need for spiritual energy, automatically protecting her safety.
Entering the main hall, she found that Great Grandpa, Great Grandma, Grandma, and Grandpa were missing. Only her parents and her uncle are sitting while chatting leisurely in the main hall.
"Good morning, parents. Good morning uncle." Wei YunXiang greeted them.
Her mother smiled at her and patted the seat beside her, "Come and sit down. The breakfast is delicious."
"Well, isn't this our Xiangxiang, why did you wake up late today?" Her uncle started teasing her before she even sat on her seat.
Wei YunXiang answered, "I cultivated under the morning sun to take advantage of the rich spiritual energy, father mentioned yesterday. It's amazing that it shortened my cultivation by an hour."
She motioned to the plate of bread in front of her uncle who pushed it in her direction.
"It's good that you listen to your elders." Her gentle father, Su Chen, praised her.
"Of course, father." We YunXiang grinned.
They chatted more while she ate her breakfast silently listening to them. She knew they were just accompanying her as they had long finished eating.
When her mother saw her done eating, she motioned to her father, "YungXiang is done eating."
"Well, Yunxiang. This is your space ring, inside is your monthly allowance as a second-level Energy Refining Realm cultivator. See if it's enough for your practice, if not, well add more."
Wei YunXiang's eyes brightened after seeing the space ring. She thanked her parents before looking at it using her spiritual consciousness.
Inside the space are the resources she'll use this month, from the spiritual stones to medicinal pills. There are a total of 50 spiritual stones, a bottle of 10 energy-replenishing pills, two offensive talismans, and one defensive talisman.
Under everyone's eyes, she nodded in satisfaction then said, "Well, parents, can I ask for some tea? I want to practice my Enlightenment Tea Technique."
Her father nodded, "It's good that you're diligent." Then he took out three wooden boxes made from spiritual wood.
"Here you go, a mortal-grade Blue Leaf Tea and Red Fire Tea. A box of grade 1 Purple Veined Tea."
Wei YunXiang didn't know the tea but she was satisfied to have it, She thanked her father then her mother took out a box of Pristine Wood Coal that would help her when boiling the tea.
Her uncle also didn't fail to meet her expectations as he took out a bottle of grade 1 spiritual water.
"Put a drop of spiritual water in a normal water when making tea." He reminded her in case she used the whole bottle for one tea.
If she did that, his heart would bleed from pain, although he is not short of grade 1 spiritual water. He just doesn't want to see his niece doing such a waste of resources.
Wei YunXiang nodded to her uncle, "I understand, Uncle."
After that, Wei YunXiang went back to her boudoir and started her practice. There are four skills in the Enlightenment Tea Technique, and what she needed to master first is the basic water-control and fire-control skill.
Using the Pristine Wood Coal, she tried to light up a fire. After spending an hour without progress, Wei YunXiang put her attention on water-control skill. She stared at the tea in her table but nothing happened after half an hour.
Finally, she decided to go to the Sutra Library to read some classics that may help her practice.
