CHAPTER 3 - SPIRITUAL HERBS GARDEN

The next day Lu shanying decided to stay home while her father and brother went to the mountain.

Lu xin and Lu ming felt good and was in high spirit. After finding out, they can refine their qi into a golden color qi, last night. They re-refine their qi until dawn break, but they didn't feel tired at all.

Lu shanying cleaned up the whole house and make a proper drainage beside the well. There's so many things she wants to do but with only a 7 years old body, she can't do much work.

After deciding to leave the rest of the work like repairing some window, roof tiles and making fences to her father, she took bath and start making clothes.

It's not difficult to cut clothes for Lu shanying even without taking measurements, after cutting five set of clothes for each of them she start sewing with a needle.

"I'll make yuichiro hyakuya from seraph of the end costume, silver king Isana yashiro costome,07- ghost ayanami costume, pilot uniform for them, it would be nice if they both wear it at the same time", Lu shanying laughing happily while sewing.

It doesn't matter where she is, she will only wore what she wants. Lu shanying didn't try to blended in this world, where only the strong have words. And she will dolled up the father and son, make them look dashingly handsome and stronger.

'Most of the boys will think of making harem, but since I can't do that..... I should just created a sect or an organization to recuit handsome mens. So I could watch them all day and night, while they practice martial arts.... It would be troublesome if there are girls. So I will only recuit young boy before they mature, and I will at least have enough time to enjoy them'. Lu shanying drools as she thought of dozen of boys practicing martial arts half naked as sweat drips on their forehead and slowly flow down on board chest, then at their sexy v line.

In the afternoon, Lu shanying cooked a delicious and nutritious dinner. She'd earned lots of spirit stone the day before and didn't plan to live frugally. Money can be earn again as long as she is alive and healthy.

She filled up the wooden barrel near the well and went inside the house to rest.

The dusk break and it's getting darker and darker, but there's still no sign of her family.

Suddenly there's a sound coming from the bedroom. Lu shanying stood up and walked towards the bedroom, when she opened the bedroom door; she got startled by a mouse rushing out from the room through the hole in the wall.

Lu shanying scanned around the room and saw a book lying on the floor. It is the only book in the house, when she clean the house she put it in the cupboard; the mouse must have knocked it down.

She gave a long sigh and pick up the book. When she cleaned today, she didn't look what was written inside. She will take this chance to look at it since her family haven't return yet.

To her surprised, it's an Alchemy book. Lu shanying mother was an alchemist but she's from a poor background and her alchemy book only contain a recipe for a level 1 and 2 qi replenishment, foundation building and detoxification pills; the most basic pills.

Cultivation pills lower than level 3 can be easily purchased in the market by common people, since it doesn't have much use for cultivator of core formation and above.

Lu shanying decided to learn Alchemy, since she want to reach the peak of cultivation, these pills will aid her in her journey. The higher level pills she can concoct the better. She's a biotechnician so it was easy for her to make pills.

"If I want to make pills, I will need lots of spiritual herbs. It's dangerous to go to the mountain and too costly to buy it from the market. So it's better if I plant them myself." Lu shanying mumbled, "Tommorow I will follow dad in the mountain and pick up some spiritual herbs and transplant them in the backyard."

Lu shanying continue to study the herbs in the book carefully.

After dinner Lu xin asked, "Shan shan, did you make the drainage in the backyard?" His daughter keeps surprising him, first her outburst at the restaurant in town and her delicious food, second the golden color qi, now the drainage in the backyard.

"Yes.... Dad tommorow I also want to go to the mountain and pick up some spiritual herbs and plant them in the backyard." Lu shanying replied casually.

Lu xin was surprised by her request, "Shan shan it was not easy to plant spiritual herbs, they need to be planted where nature is abundant. If not they will not survive and died."Lu xin sighed.

"It's okay..... I know a way to keep them alive and healthy." Lu shanying replied confidently.

Lu xin was stunned again by his daughter, as if it was not a big deal to plant a spiritual herbs.

'Shan shan is only a child, let her do whatever she wants for now. Who knows, maybe she will learn things from this also.' Lu xin thought helplessly and agreed to bring her up to the mountain the next day.

Day passes by, in the blink of an eye a month have passed. During the past month, Lu shanying and her family will go to the mountain and collect herbs and planted them in their backyard.

Their day was spent going to mountain collecting herbs and catching game. As Lu shanying requested, they didn't sell the game they caught but keep it for themselves. At night they will refine their qi into a dazzling golden color.

Lu shanying let her dad dig a pit 50 metres away from their house, and built a shed for a toilet.

Lu xin was so shocked by his daughter intelligence and wondered, where did she got this idea from?

He and his son would've never guess that their shan shan is no longer their shan shan, but someone from science and technology world, called Earth, that occupied her body.

Lu shanying immersed herself in her herbs garden, collecting beasts faeces for fertilizer, went to the mountain for more herbs in the past month. She didn't neglected to cultivate nor sewing clothes.

When she finished her sewing and hand them over to her father and son, they were stupified. They have never seen nor heard such kind of clothes before. Under Lu shanying persistent nagging, they couldn't help but wore it. She also made inner robes for them to wear when they sleep.

They look more handsome, elegant and dazzling, just like prince charming in a white horse.

When they went out, all eyes are on them and some people mocked them for wearing such weird clothes, some out of jealousy and some appreciated their charming appearance.

At first, Lu xin and Lu ming who's never been exposed to limelight like this before, felt uncomfortable and decided not to wear them anymore. But Lu shanying never let them have their way, as time passes by, the villager got used to their weird clothes and the gossip gradually died down.

Lu shanying made a matching clothes of her family for herself but modified it a little. Since, the people in this world is too conservative about clothes she can't wear pants like her brother and father. So instead she modified the clothes like Altair a.ka. military uniform princess from Re: Creators.

She'd also made a sets of leather boots from the skin of the spiritual beasts her father caught.

This morning when Lu ming went to the backyard to water the herbs, he was astonished to see that some of the herbs start blooming. He hurriedly run back to the house to tell his dad.

When Lu xin saw the garden he was speechless, he thought that the herbs wouldn't survive for long and would die soon. But unexpectedly, they are healthy and some started to bloom.

"Ming ming... from now on whatever your sister says and do, you have to support her no matter what, you understand?" Lu xin says as he thought deeply.

Lu ming nodded his head, not because of his father words. But because these days, his little shan shan have done lots of miracles. Like turning their qi into golden color, making delicious food, building toilet, cool dresses, now planted a herbs where nature essence is thin and makes them healthy and even bloom. Now he firmly believe that his little sister can do anything as long as she want.

Lu shanying has completely refined her qi into golden color, since she's only at level 3 qi condensation stage. Where as Lu ming was done two-thirds and as for Lu xin he have only done halfway through.

Maybe because of the golden qi, their complexion and temperament are getting better and better.

Now that the qi problem is solved further cultivating wouldn't be a problem anymore, all she have to do is slowly cultivate. And her herb garden has all the low and middle grade spiritual herbs, now that they are mature Lu shanying decided to start practicing alchemy.

"Getting high grade and herbs are impossible right now, not to mention that I can't even make any lower grade pills at the moment. I have enough herbs to practice a basic level pills, its enough for now." she mumbled as she walked out of the house.

Lu xin was at the courtyard practicing his martial arts with Lu ming.

Lu shanying called out to them, "Dad... big brother, let's go to the town. I want to buy a pill furnaces."

'Hhuuhhh' Lu xin and Lu ming eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Shan shan why do you need a pill furnace for?" Lu xin asked sadly as he remembered his wife bronze pill furnace that he has sold, in order to buy food and medicine. That year he lost his wife and shan shan is only four and got sick badly. He didn't have any money and it's winter and couldn't hunt a game, so he has to sold as it was the only valuable thing in the house for shan shan treatment.

"I want to concoct pills.... I've found mom book and studied it. That's why I even plant the herbs," Lu shanying replies earnestly.

"Ok.... then let's go to town.... But we can't buy a high quality couldron. They are very expensive, some even cost a top-tier spirit stones." Lu xin says guiltily, because he couldn't buy a high-quality pill furnace for his daughter.

"Let's go... Let's go...." Lu shanying shouted happily.

The family of three went to the town with their pilot uniform, Lu shanying even made the hats.... Instead of pants her dress consist of outer half pilot coat with inner ankle length princess gown like, where the bottom is white rose lace that she stitches herself by hand.

Wherever they passes by people couldn't take off their eyes off of them, it's their first time seeing people with weird dress. They look dashing and have a temperament of a noble from the big countries. People keeps whispering, some guess that they are from the big countries, some says they are from a demonic race, some say they are the descendant of a God from the central continent.

Oblivious of their thoughts, the Lu family heads towards the only shop in town where they sold pill furnace.

When they step inside the store, the manager hurriedly welcome them in a polite manner. Even though they wore a weird clothes, if they were from an influential family; he doesn't have the courage to take risk to disdain them just because of the way they dress.

"We want a pill furnaces" Lu shanying says haughtily.

Lu xin can help but secretly sighed at his daughter behavior. He still can't fully adapt to her strong personality.

As for Lu ming, he has completely adapted to his little sister personality because he spent more time with her than his father.

The store manager took them to the second floor where they displayed the pill furnaces.

The manager attentively explained to all the pill furnaces they have.

Lu shanying picked the pill furnace made from Red magma crystal, which cost 530 mid-tier spirit stone. She bought two of them.

"Shan shan why do you need to buy two?" Lu xin couldn't help but asked.

"One is for me and one is for big brother." she replies calmly.

Lu ming doubtfully at his little sister, couldn't believe what he's heard, "But I don't know anything about alchemy" he said hesitantly.

"Didn't you know about every herbs in the garden?" Lu shanying said with her eyes shone brightly.

"Yes.... But what's that got to do with making pills?" he asked confusedly.

"The first and foremost things in Alchemy is to know and understand the nature of the herbs. Making pills is secondary. If you have extensive knowledge of herbs, you can't make high grade pills." Lu shanying smile.

"So you're saying that, if I understand the nature of the herbs better, the success rate of making a high grade pills is higher?" Lu Ming asked.

"Exactly....." Lu shanying laughed happily. This little big brother is quite smart and have a perfectionist personality, so there's nothing to worried about; Lu shanying thought secretly.

"Shan Shan, will your brother be able to really concoct a pills?" Lu xin couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"Of course, dad have faith in me and big brother." Lu shanying reassuring her father.

After walking around the town for a while, they went home.

On their way home, Lu shanying remember that there's a weapon called spirit weapon, that a cultivator used to boost their fighting power.

"Dad.... what's a spirit weapon?" she asked expectedly.

Lu xin couldn't help but be soft hearted on his daughter question, " A spirit weapon is a weapon used by a cultivator in a battle, there's different level of spirit weapon. After level 7, it is no longer called spirit weapon but instead called heavenly weapon, after that it is called godly weapon. The heavenly weapon and Godly weapon have their own spirit, unless the owner hand down or gave orders no one else can use the weapon." replies proudly as he can answer his daughter question.

"Dad .... I want to learn how to make spirit weapon." Lu shanying plead her father.

Lu xin knelt down, patting her head," shan shan, spirit weapon master are very rare, especially those who can make heavenly weapon. There's only one person who can make Godly weapon in the whole five continent, they said that person lives in the central continent." he took a deep breath and continue, " there isn't a single spirit weapon master in the town, there's only two person in the capital. In our Loushen county, there's only 5 spirit weapon master. Not to mention that they can only make level 3 and below spirit weapon."

"In the big county, there's a grandmaster that can make heavenly weapon. In all the three continent, there's only two person who can make heavenly weapon." Lu xin said helplessly.

"Dad... first I will learn how to make pills until I can make high grade pills. Then after earning lots of spirit stone. We will go to the capital to learn it." Lu shanying said solemnly.

"Then you and your brother have to practice hard on concocting pills. Then we will go to the capital." Lu xin promise.

Holding his children hands on both hand, they went home.
