"My goodness!"

Hearing the system's voice suddenly ring out in his mind, Su Xing could not help but be shocked.

'The system would just check me in once a day, right?'

'It actually evolved!'

...

The next day.

The sun rose from the horizon and dyed the sky.

It was just daybreak when Su Yan'er got up and began her daily cultivation.

Although she had not used any medicinal herbs to temper her body, the Spiritual Qi in Sunset Peak was ridiculously rich. Although it was not as fast as using natural treasures to temper her body, it was still not slow.

Su Yan 'er had not broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm yet, so the Spiritual Qi she absorbed could only strengthen her body.

This was not the best way, but the mysterious master had not returned yet, so Su Yan 'er could only waste it a little.

Looking at Su Xing's closed door, Su Yan'er shook her head helplessly.

"Senior Brother still hasn't woken up yet."

"It's fine if his talent is bad, but he still doesn't work hard. Is he giving up on himself?"

If not for his ridiculously handsome appearance, Su Yan'er would have given her Senior Brother a big slap.

Who Was Su Yan'er?

She was the Fire Phoenix Divine Palace's Empress.

In her life, she had seen many geniuses become mediocre because they did not work hard. She had also seen many mediocre people become geniuses. Due to their extraordinary hard work and great opportunities, they had become powerful.

Su Yan 'er had never seen people like him, who did not have talent and he did not work hard, although she had a high position previously.

This was her first time seeing someone like him, so Su Yan'er could be said to be extremely angry.

Su Xing's Spirit Root was not good, to begin with. If he did not work several times harder than ordinary people, how could he step into the path of longevity?

'Sigh, Senior Brother, Senior Brother, it's a good thing that you met me.'

Su Yan'er thought to herself.

After all, she had already become the second disciple of the Sunset Peak, so she could be considered to have a formal bond with Su Xing.

Su Yan'er believed that this relationship probably had some sort of fate in it.

'After I raise my cultivation level, I'll help my Senior Brother.'

Su Yan'er directly knocked on Su Xing's door.

"Senior Brother, the best time of the day is the morning. The early bird catches the worm, so hurry up and cultivate."

"Cultivating is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you'll fall back. Senior Brother, if you don't get up, I'll tear your door apart."

"Senior Brother!"

Su Xing slowly opened the door and yawned.

At this moment, Su Xing looked at Su Yan'er with a strange expression.

'What's wrong with this girl? Why can't she sleep in?'

'Girl, aren't you being too proactive?'

"Senior Brother, it's time to start cultivating."

Su Yan'er placed her small hands on her waist and said to Su Xing in a very serious manner.

She continuously nagged at Su Xing, making Su Xing laugh.

"Alright, my Junior Sister Yan'er, can't you see that I'm already up?"

Su Xing helplessly shook his head.

'If you want to cultivate, then just openly tell your Senior Brother.'

However, this matter was really his fault. Yesterday, he had forgotten to tell Su Yan'er about the cultivation method of the sunset peak.

After Su Xing entered the house and washed up, he did not immediately know that Su Yan'er had started cultivating.

He went straight to the back of the mountain to chop some firewood and took it directly to the kitchen in the back of Su Xing's house. Soon, smoke rose from the kitchen.

Under Su Yan'er's shocked gaze, he began to cook.

'Senior Brother, you, you, you, what are you doing!?'

'Am I seeing things?'

'Senior Brother was actually making a fire to cook!?'

He was clearly a cultivator, yet he did not hurry to take advantage of the rich Spiritual Qi Of Heaven And Earth to cultivate in the morning. Instead, he actually started to cook breakfast.

'Are you that hungry?'

In the cultivation world, everyone knew that the Spiritual Qi in the morning was the densest and purest.

After a whole night of precipitation, the filth in the Spiritual Qi would be slowly washed away by Heaven and Earth.

The remaining clear Spiritual Qi could be used to get twice the result with half the effort for cultivation.

After all, cultivation was to remove the filth in the Spiritual Qi in Heaven and Earth and then absorb it into the body.

Thus, for cultivators, the time in the morning was too important.

"Senior Brother, do you know what you are doing?"

Su Yan'er looked at Su Xing in shock as he cooked.

However, looking at Su Xing's extremely skilled cooking method, Su Yan'er's heart ached.

'My dear Senior Brother, what kind of life did you have before this?!'

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

Su Xing suddenly came to a realization.

Seeing Su Xing like this, Su Yan'er could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that her Senior Brother finally understood what he should do.

'If it was not for me, your Junior Sister, it seemed that you, as a Senior Brother, would not have any self-awareness at all.'

"Your reminder is too timely. I've lived on the mountain for too long by myself. Now that there's an extra person on the mountain, I'm still cooking according to a person's portion."

"I was indeed negligent."

Su Xing smiled at Su Yan'er.

'Look at this little girl, she's afraid that I won't cook breakfast for her.'

"Don't worry, my master really likes my cooking. I've always been in charge of cooking breakfast. The taste is definitely not inferior to the taste of the inns outside."

"Senior Brother, what... What are you talking about?"

Su Yan'er could not process what he just said. 

'That's not what I'm talking about!'

'Also, why did the Master eat with you?'

'Could it be that she doesn't know how important cultivation is?'

'Or perhaps, there is a tradition of having breakfast in the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect?'

"Senior Brother, this won't do!"

"It's so early in the morning, so shouldn't you go cultivate?" Su Yan'er asked anxiously.

Su Xing, on the other hand, was shocked.

"You still want to cultivate in the morning? Shouldn't you clean up, go to the toilet, wash yourself up, and then eat breakfast?"

Su Yan'er's expression froze.

'Could it be that her senior brother hadn't even entered the Foundation Establishment Realm?'

After a cultivator entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, eating, drinking, and defecating were not that important anymore.

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could directly expel the filth from their bodies through the Spiritual Qi in their bodies.

Su Yan'er finally understood from Su Xing's words.

It seemed that her Senior Brother had not entered the Foundation Establishment Realm yet.

'Senior Brother was at least twenty years old.'

'Yet, he wasn't even in the Foundation Establishment Realm...'

Su Yan'er did not dare to continue imagining how bad Su Xing's talent was.

Generally speaking, as long as one cultivated within the sect for three to five years, they would definitely be able to easily advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If one's talent was slightly better, it might just take a year.

As for those prodigies, it would only take a month.

After all, the Qi Refinement Realm was just to widen the meridians in the body and temper the body. It was not like the later stages, where one had to condense a lot of Spiritual Qi to advance.

As long as one used body-tempering herbs, the rest one had to do was to absorb Spiritual Qi to open up the meridians in the body. It would not take too much time.

However, Su Xing was already twenty years old, yet he had not broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He still needed to eat and drink every day.

Thinking of this, Su Yan'er began to feel sympathetic.

Su Yan'er sincerely apologized to Su Xing.

"Senior Brother, it's My Fault."

At that moment, Su Yan'er finally understood why Su Xing was unwilling to cultivate.

Who would be willing to cultivate with such trash talent?

Who would not want to become stronger? who could not work hard?

However, if there was no result no matter how hard one tried, then would one still work hard?

'Senior Brother, your talent is still too poor...'
