22 More birthday gifts

Song Yu Qi was looking at the system screens with widened eyes and mouth agape. She was so excited that she could feel and almost hear her heart beating rapidly in her chest.

'I got exactly what I wanted!' She thought.

She couldn't believe her luck. Or was it really luck? She truly wondered if there was really a god watching her after all...

In fact, the Immortal Talent Upgrading Pill was exactly what she wanted. An item to increase the cultivation talent of her Sister Yanyan and Sister Zilin so they could walk the path of cultivation together! With enough luck and hard work, having an A-grade cultivation talent was enough to reach the apex. That was unfortunately not the case with a D-grade talent...

Song Yu Qi trusted Tan Yanyan and Xia Zilin enough to give them the pill. She knew that they would never betray her, especially now that they were sworn sisters. Moreover, when the two girls were drunk, she had heard their confessions, they both loved her so there was no reason to doubt them. She would give them the pill, and the three of them would reach the top of this world before ascending to Heaven!

Nodding with determination, Song Yu Qi decided to inspect the other items she received with a beautiful smile on her face.

The Ring of Concealment was obviously amazing. Thanks to it, she would finally be able to cultivate as fast as she wanted without needing to restrain herself!

She took it out from her inventory and put it on the index finger of her right hand. The Ring of Concealment was a simple silver ring without any mark nor pattern so it was impossible to say that there was something special about it by looking at it.

For now, she didn't need to activate the ring since her cultivation level was still low but in the future, she would definitely need to use it.

Next, Song Yu Qi inspected the Rain of Fire Talismans. They were not really useful to her except if she found herself in a situation where she was surrounded by many enemies. Moreover, she didn't know the power of these talismans. Were they strong enough to kill a cultivator in the Qi Condensation realm or higher? The only way she had to know that was by testing them...

She was very surprised when she took out the Spirit Axe. The weapon was huge and looked like a Viking Two-handed Great Axe! However, she really didn't imagine herself wielding a weapon like that during a fight. Even if she was still a man, this kind of weapon was really not her style. She preferred a sword or daggers...

Unfortunately, the Cultivation Pills were quite useless since she could get them in the sect.

The Martial Art Water Punch was also useless because it was available in the Martial Hall of the sect. Moreover, it wouldn't benefit the boost of her Cultivation Method because it was a Martial Art of the Water element and not of the Ice element...

Now that she was done inspecting all the items, Song Yu Qi stood up from her bed and went to the dining room.

She thought that she was the first one awake but she saw that Xia Zilin was already preparing breakfast, helped by Tan Yanyan.

When the two girls noticed her, they immediately smiled and rushed to her to hug her.

"Happy birthday, Sister Yu Qi!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

The system had recognized that today was really her birthday so Song Yu Qi didn't feel bad for lying to them anymore.

"Thank you!" She said, smiling.

"Sister Yu Qi, you should sit down, breakfast is almost ready." Said Xia Zilin.

"It smells good! It seems that you have a talent for cooking after all." Said Song Yu Qi.

Xia Zilin shyly blushed after hearing her praise and focused back on the dish she was cooking. Once it was done, she served everyone and they started eating. It was very good for something prepared by a novice, but not as good as the food that Song Yu Qi made.

While they were eating, Tan Yanyan told them about the day she spent with her brother. She had a lot of fun and the two had many things to tell each other since they had not seen each other for a long time.

"Sister Yu Qi, I have a birthday gift for you." Said Tan Yanyan as she took out a small box from her Storage Pouch.

Tan Yanyan opened the box and revealed its content. It was a golden pill that gave off a strong smell of metal.

"This is a Golden Skeleton Pill. It can wash and refine your bones as well as make them as hard as gold." She explained.

Song Yu Qi was very surprised, she didn't expect to receive such a precious gift! It was perfect for her since she planned to refine her bones with Heavenly Ice in the next few days. This pill would greatly help her and would save her a lot of time.

"Thank you very much, Sister Yanyan! I never heard of this pill before, it seems amazing." She said, taking the box and smiling.

"Only inner disciples can buy this pill with their Contribution Points. So, I had to ask my brother to get it for me." Said Tan Yanyan.

Song Yu Qi nodded and noted that she would have to thank Tan Yanyan's brother when she would have the occasion.

"Sister Yu Qi, I also have a gift for you." Said Xia Zilin as she took out a very thick brown book. "The last time you told me that Alchemy also interested you so I decided to give you one of my books."

"This is an encyclopedia that lists the most common Spiritual Plants existing in this world as well as the main alchemist recipe in which they are used." She explained.

"Nice! Thank you very much, Sister Zilin." Said Song Yu Qi, excited. It was true that she was very interested in Alchemy because of all the xianxia novels she had read in her previous life.

A few minutes later, after the three girls finished eating, Song Yu Qi decided that it was time to give them the Immortal Talent Upgrading Pill.

"Actually, I also have a gift for you two." She said.
