The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

The next day, Yun Jin stretched energetically.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, the need for sleep diminished. Most cultivators replaced sleep with meditation.

Yun Jin, however, enjoyed sleeping and rested for several hours daily.

Due to Yun Jin’s frequent antics, Lin Ya had set up a barrier around her room to block sound and light.

Inside her room, Yun Jin hadn’t heard anything, but upon exiting, she heard Gungun’s spirited cries.

The little Iron-Eating Beast was now riding Gu Jinghong like a horse, whooping excitedly.

In contrast, Gu Jinghong exuded an aura of despair, as if thinking, “I’m ruined, I’m exhausted,” though it was unclear what torment he’d endured.

Yun Jin watched for a moment, then frowned.

She immediately walked over.

“Gungun.”

The little Iron-Eating Beast was enjoying itself, but seeing Yun Jin’s serious expression, it felt guilty. “Master, I was just…”

“Just what?” Yun Jin looked exasperated. “You’re still a child, and sleep is very important for children!”

Gungun hadn’t caught on yet, tilting its head in confusion.

Yun Jin glared at Gu Jinghong. “I told you to take care of it! How did you take care of it? Tell me, did you make sure it rested well last night?”

Gu Jinghong pursed his lips. “I…”

“You what?” Yun Jin said forcefully. “I don’t want to hear your excuses. I’m asking you. In just one night, how did it end up with dark circles?”

Gu Jinghong: “???? The Iron-Eating Beast originally…”

“Originally what?” Yun Jin said angrily. “You’re still trying to argue!”

Yun Jin activated the contract punishment.

Gu Jinghong bit his lip hard in pain, struggling to say, “I… I was wrong.”

Only then did Yun Jin reluctantly stop.

The little Iron-Eating Beast watched with shining eyes.

Damn?

Was there someone even more unreasonable than itself?

This master! It had chosen well again!

Seeing Gungun’s admiring gaze, Yun Jin worried it might learn bad habits and said, “Remember how many spirit beasts went berserk and got hurt before? It’s because he put Beast Lure Powder in your food! So I’m being unreasonable to punish him. But with others, you should still be polite. Understand?”

Gu Jinghong: “…”

Wait.

You know you’re being unreasonable?

The Iron-Eating Beast Gungun’s eyes widened.

It looked at Gu Jinghong angrily.

So!

So many spirit beasts were hurt because of this human!

His actions almost got it misunderstood by everyone!

He was bad! Very bad!

It seemed Gungun hadn’t tormented him enough.

Gungun’s eyes rolled, clearly plotting something.

Yun Jin ignored this and said, “I’m going out soon, but before I leave, I want to assign you some tasks.”

What tasks?

Gungun covered its ears with its paws.

It wanted to play, not do tasks.

Yun Jin pried its paws away and said seriously, “I, your master, am destined for greatness. If you fall too far behind, I’ll still dote on you and care for you, but when I fight, you won’t be able to stand by my side. Gungun, think carefully. Do you want to be a little pet, or do you want to fight alongside me? If you choose to be a pet, I won’t give you tasks anymore. If you choose to become stronger, I’ll keep training you to grow more powerful. Aren’t you upset about your former master abandoning you? If you become strong, he’ll naturally regret it deeply. Otherwise, he’ll just think abandoning you was the right decision.”

Gungun was still a child, playful and mischievous, its character unformed.

Yun Jin wanted to see its own intentions first.

She wanted to cultivate it into a god-tier battle beast, but if it was unwilling, she wouldn’t force it.

Gungun’s eyes had been darting around, but hearing about the former master, it gritted its teeth. “I want to train!”

It had to make its former master regret!

Yun Jin saw through Gungun’s thoughts. Although its motivation wasn’t pure, for a child, using a goal as guidance wasn’t a bad approach.

Yun Jin smiled. “Good, then let’s train! When you’ve mastered it, I’ll take you to find him! Then you can tell him, ‘You used to ignore me, but now you can’t reach my level!'”

Gungun’s eyes lit up.

You used to ignore me.

Now you can’t reach my level.

These words!

Good!

So good!

They perfectly expressed its emotional journey!

“Master, I want to train now,” Gungun jumped off Gu Jinghong’s back, suddenly eager.

“Very good,” Yun Jin said. “You have two basic skills now, Charge and Roar. I have a set of mnemonics that can increase a spirit beast’s learning speed for skills. Wait for me to teach you the mnemonics, then practice while reciting them.”

Mnemonics?

That could increase a spirit beast’s learning speed?

Gu Jinghong stood nearby, a slightly mocking expression on his face.

Skills to assist spirit beasts were mostly held by the Beast Taming Sect and its subordinate sects. Tianxing Sect didn’t have such manuals.

This Yun Jin was probably making it up.

But Gungun didn’t know this. It nodded seriously, waiting to hear the mnemonics.

Yun Jin took a deep breath and recited slowly, “One times one is one, one times two is two…”

Gungun: “???”

This seemed different from the mnemonics it had imagined.

Yun Jin had already quickly recited up to nine times nine is eighty-one.

“That’s it for the mnemonics. Did you remember?” Yun Jin asked.

Gungun shook its head, bewildered.

Yun Jin took out a sound-recording stone and set it to loop. “Listen a few more times. Once you’ve memorized it, you can begin.”

Gungun didn’t think too much and started learning earnestly.

Gu Jinghong couldn’t help but want to laugh.

This Yun Jin, wasn’t she just tricking a child?

These mnemonics had nothing to do with cultivation.

If this could speed up the Iron-Eating Beast’s skill learning…

He might as well commit suicide.

Gungun quickly memorized the mnemonics.

Yun Jin was very satisfied. “Let’s practice Charge first. The first step is to ram trees! When practicing this skill, remember to shout the mnemonics while ramming. After a hundred times, you’ll find everything is different!”

“Yes!” Gungun agreed immediately. The mnemonics sounded impressive, and it was eager to try.

Yun Jin said, “I’ll teach you how to practice Roar when I return. Today, focus on practicing Charge. Understand?”

“Understood!” Gungun stared at a tree, ready to begin.

“Take good care of Gungun! If it gets dark circles from exhaustion again, I’ll skin you alive,” Yun Jin said sternly to Gu Jinghong.

Gu Jinghong: “…”

Why not just do it now?

But he dared say nothing, only numbly agreeing.

Yun Jin watched the Iron-Eating Beast practice for a while, then left with Yue Zhao when he arrived.

Gu Jinghong continued watching over it.

“One times one is one!” Gungun charged hard.

Oww.

Its head hurt a bit.

No big deal, let’s continue!

“Two times two is four!” Gungun charged again, making the tree shake violently.

Gu Jinghong couldn’t help but feel scornful. Only such a young spirit beast would believe this nonsense!
