After eating dinner and brushing her teeth, Yu Rou returned to her own room to spend the rest of the night cultivating.
The following morning, right before sunrise, Yu Rou experienced a breakthrough in her cultivation, reaching 2nd level Spirit Apprentice.
"I haven’t slept for a few days now, yet I don’t even feel tired or sleepy. Cultivation is such a miraculous thing." Yu Rou sighed to herself afterward.
"I wonder how Meixiu and brother are doing. They should be awake now for breakfast."
Yu Rou decided to call them on her phone.
"Hello?" Meixiu answered the phone after three rings.
"How’s it going, Meixiu? Have you started cultivating yet? I just reached the 2nd level, but it took longer than I’d expected— at leastpared to Cultivation Online."
"Yes, I have also started to cultivate a few days ago." Meixiu’s voice resounded from the phone.
"Really? Congrattions!" Yu Rou said.
And she asked, "Also, you’re with Brother Tian in Cultivation Online, right? What are you two doing right now?"
"We have decided to take a break from Cultivation Online to focus on cultivation in the real world," Meixiu said.
"Eh? Really?"
"Yes. With the increased crime and violence because of the cultivation thing, I have decided to spend some extra time preparing myself for the future." Meixiu said.
Yu Rou was speechless after hearing this, and she mumbled in a low voice, "Now that you mention it... You are right... I didn’t really think too much about it when I saw the news, but it looks like I should probably prepare myself just in case things get much worse."
"Anyways, since you two are busy with cultivation, I won’t bother you too much. Just call me when you are finished so that we can y together in Cultivation Online, okay? It’s been a while since I have seen you two, after all."
"Okay. I will call you when we n on ying again." Meixiu said.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Rou proceeded to call Xia Jingyi.
"I hope I’m not bothering your cultivation." Yu Rou said after Xia Jingyi picked up the phone.
"Not at all."
"How’s your cultivation going? Have you reached the second level yet?"
"No, I haven’t. What about you?"
"Yes, I just reached it not long ago."
"Wow! Congrattions, Sister Rou! There aren’t many people who have reached the 2nd level! You’re definitely a cultivation genius! Most of my friends are just entering the first level, yet you’re already at the second level. I think I still need at least another week or two before I can reach the 2nd level."
"Cultivation genius, huh?" A bittersweet smile appeared on Yu Rou’s face.
If she was considered a cultivation genius for reaching the 2nd level in a week, what would her brother Yu Tian, who has already reached Spirit Warrior, be considered? A cultivation god?
"By the way, Sister Rou, have you heard about the cultivation schools and the cultivation factions?" Xia Jingyi suddenly asked.
"Of course. My parents have already begun creating a faction for our family. They have also spent a couple of billions recently to acquire a Heaven-rank cultivation technique." Yu Rou said.
"Heavens... Your family already has a Heaven-rank cultivation technique? My family was only able to acquire an Earth-rank cultivation technique." Xia Jingyi’s disappointed voice resounded.
And she continued, "This makes me wonder if there is anyone out there with a Divine-rank cultivation technique."
Yu Rou chuckled and said, "Divine-rank cultivation techniques are simply too rare in the Lower Heavens. We’ll probably have to ascend to Spirit Heaven before we can even start thinking about Divine-grade techniques."
"Oh yeah? I am willing to bet yer Yuan has a Divine-rank cultivation technique!" Xia Jingyi suddenly said.
"yer Yuan?" Yu Rou smiled and said, "If someone has a Divine-rank technique, it’d probably be him."
"If yer Yuan really has a Divine-rank cultivation technique, I wonder if he has tried to cultivate yet, and if he is already a cultivator, what level has he managed to achieve with it by now..."
"I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already a Spirit Warrior." Yu Rou said with a teasing smile on her face.
"Spirit Warrior? As much as I admire yer Yuan, I think it’s impossible for someone to be a Spirit Warrior already since cultivation is much slower in the real world due to theck of resources even if they have a Divine-rank cultivation technique." Xia Jingyi said.
Sometimeter, Xia Jingyi asked, "Sister Rou, what time are you going to y Cultivation Online today?"
"I’m going to take a few days off to focus on my cultivation." Yu Rou said, and she proceeded to exin to Xia Jingyi her reason for doing so.
"I see... That makes perfect sense. Alright, I will also follow this advice and focus on my real cultivation for now. I don’t want to be bullied by someone stronger, after all."
"I’ll talk to youter, Sister Rou."
"Definitely."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Rou went to eat breakfast before returning to her room to spend the rest of the day cultivating.
And with everyone focused on improving their real cultivation, a week passed by in the blink of an eye.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Youngdy, the Masters have summoned you to the main house." A servant knocked on the door to Yu Rou’s room.

Yu Rou stopped her cultivation and stood up to open the door.
"Let them know that I am on my way," she said.
Sometimeter, after taking a quick shower and dressing up properly, Yu Rou traveled to the Yu Family’s main house where her parents were waiting.
Once Yu Rou met up with her parents at the main house, they brought her to anotherrge building that was almost just as big as Yu Rou’s house a few miles away from the main house, and inside this building were multiple rooms with hundreds offortable beds lined up with the console required to y Cultivation Online set up for each bed.
"What is this?" Yu Rou asked them.
"This is the future of our Yu Family and thepany." Tang Lee said with a confident smile on her face, and she continued, "It will also be where all of our yers will be living and ying starting today."
