YIN-YANG DEVOURER

While Ruvan was doing his own thing in his class, other events were taking place in a small residence in the outer courtyard fifith district.

"Are you sure about this, Sefia?"

"Yes... I feel like it's a lot" A trio of girls felt quite uncomfortable while holding the some cultivation resources in their hands.

"I already told you that it's okay girls..." Sefia said at that moment while shaking her hands.

Sefia had taken her friends shopping in the Shopping District of the Outer Courtyard. There Sefia had bought several valuable pills and cultivation resources from them that would be extremely important for the girls' cultivation.

"But where did you get so much money from?" Asked Lens with a curious look. Although she suspected that Sefia might be having an affair with Elder Clarice, the reality was that even Elder Clarice herself would not be able to afford such expenses.

"I already told you that I did a job for which I was paid quite well... Now forget about the money and just concentrate on your gifts"

"Remember that it is important that we all reach the Earth Realm if we want to reach the Inner Courtyard"" Sefia said in a serious voice.

"Thank you Sister Sefia" The adorable Mendy had tears in her eyes as she leaned towards her sister.

"Relax Mendy~ You just have to make an effort to cultivate now" Sefia said while patting the busty loli a couple of times.

"Thank you Sefia! At least now getting to the Inner Courtyard doesn't look completely impossible" said Lens honestly.

Lens knew that her talent as a cultivator was average at best, so she was actively looking for a partner who could support her. However, now with these resources that Sefia had given her, she was at least sixty percent sure that she could reach the long-awaited Earth Realm.

"Girls remember... No word to Bryana about this" Sefia said with a serious look after all she didn't want to attract unnecessary attention.

"Don't worry"

"Yeah... My lips will are closed"

"Same as me"

After a while each of the girls retired to cultivate. Most of them went to find a grow room to rent.
Unlike Ruvan, who had his own cultivation room, they had to rent one if they wanted to enjoy the benefits of growing in one.

The Cultivation Rooms were insulating chambers that allowed the cultivator to safely and peacefully seclude himself to cultivate. In addition, the Cultivation Rooms were built with a spiritual energy harvesting mechanism, that is, they greatly increased the spiritual energy inside the room.

Lens and Mendy were the first to leave the room, after all among the four they were the ones with the most mediocre talent.

"Rayna... Wait" Just as Ryana was also getting ready to leave she was stopped by Sefia.

"What's the matter?"

"I need you to come with me to do some shopping. Is it not too much trouble?"

"Not at all... After what you just did for me and the girls it's a small thing" Rayna said while waving her hands nonchalantly.

"Great! Let's go to the Shopping District, then"

"Haven't we just been there?" Asked with curiosity the long-legged beauty.

"Sigh... The thing is that I need to buy a serious of things for which I need your advice" Sefia said with a half smile.

"My advice?"

"That's right... You just follow me" Sefia said as she pointed the way. Rayna for her part could do nothing but follow her friend.

"A furniture store?"Don't we already have what we need?"Asked Ryana with doubts after all they were standing right in front of the most luxurious furniture store in the entire Outer Courtyard.

"It's not for us..." Sefia replied dryly as she entered the store.

'Will it be for Elder Clarice? Mmm this is weird...'

"Good morning sisters... who are you looking for?" Asked one of the girls who works at this place. If one paid attention one would realize that she was also a disciple just like Sefia and Rayna.

Side jobs were not a rare thing within the outer courtyard, after all they were a secure and stable source of income for the disciples. Almost all of the disciples in the outer courtyard had a side job.

Even Rayna was no exception either, as she also worked as a receptionist at the library in the Outer Courtyard.

"We are looking for furniture for a residence... Preferably that is of the best possible quality" said Sefia

"I see... In that case let me recommend the furniture made with purple oak. These pieces of furniture are not only resistant but their details and finishes are also of the highest quality" said the female disciple as she led Sefia and Rayna into a much more exclusive hallway.

"May I know which district you need them for? I mean, we have plans of all the houses in the districts to help you select the furniture that best suits your residence..." The girl said with a polite tone as she pointed towards a large number of plans which were hanging on the wall. There were the plans of all the types of residences built in the outer courtyard.

"They would be for a residence int he Tenth District" Sefia said with a half smile.

"T-Tenth District... I see"" said the surprised girl. Her reaction was normal, after all, only disciples with special physicists lived in the Tenth District .

"Why do you need me then, Sefia?"Rayna asked doubtfully while trying to decipher Sefia's intentios.

'Is she dating some disciple with a special physique?'

"I need you to help me choose... You are the girl with the best decorating taste I know, so I need your help" Sefia said with a pleading smile. Ryana was a pretty talented girl for decoration, so if there was anyone to whom Sefia could ask for help for this job, it was definitely her.

"Well... if that's the case, then leave it to me" Rayna said with an excited look. There was nothing he liked more than decorating, so she quickly got down to work.

"Budget?"

"Unlimited"

"..." Female Disciple.

"Great" Rayna.

Outside the City Gray Rock.

A rather bloody interrogative was being carried out on the outskirts of the Gray Rock City, specifically in one of the nearby forests.

"I swear it!! They killed our leaders while taking away their enslaved families."

"He doesn't seem to be lying Third Elder"

"Who ordered this?" Asked a middle-aged old Man who was leaning on a wooden column.

"Arghhh"

"It was the members of the Hidden Flower Sect"

"I know that already idiot... I'm asking you who specifically gave the order" shouted another Elder impatiently as he twisted the dagger in the poor guy's leg.

"I don't know!! I don't know!! I've never seen him before"

"Was it Elder Yurie or Disciple Yu-Hee?"

"Noooo! None of them were!"

"It was a man riding on a snake"" Said the citizen hurriedly hoping that his answers would stop the torture he was receiving at that moment.

"A man?... And what was he like? Tell me some characteristic or trait about him"

"He was quite handsome..." the citizen said unconsciously but the pain of the dagger brought him back to reality.

"Yes! Now I remember! He had a pair of golden eyes" shouted the citizen in a hurry.

"Golden Eyes?"

"Yes! They were pretty impressive. I swear I'm not lying!! You can ask anyone in the City"" said the citizen solemnly.

"That's a good clue" said the Third Elder who was leaning on a column.

The Elder who was doing the interrogation nodded his head and without warning drove his dagger straight into the poor citizen's heart, thus ending his miserable life.

"At least we have something to take to the Sect Master..."

"It seems that the fifth young master was at least alive and was taken hostage to the Hidden Flower Sect"

"Well, at least we'll be able to negotiate for his ransom"

"What surprises me the most are the actions of the Hidden Flower Sect. It's a rather dominant attitude little seen in them"" said the Third Elder as he put his fingers to his chin.

"You're right, Third Elder! I never imagined that the Hidden Flower Sect would send so many reinforcements to this City! It's practically impossible to get in"

"For now let's go back to the Sect and inform the Sect Master about what we found out..."

"What happens to the identity of the golden-eyed guy?"

"Mmm don't worry... Someone with those traits won't be that hard to find" the Third Elder said with a half smile as he walked out of the cave where they had been doing the interrogation.
