Shi Youxing turned her head and saw that the other three families had also arrived, and they were all staring in shock at the scene before them, along with their youths.

A strong sense of awkwardness suddenly surged through her heart.

No way.

They can't just stand by and watch the spectacle.

It can't be only our family's young people being persuaded to lose face by those shameless demon cultivators next door, ahem...invited to undergo the dignity-lowering training.

We have to drag the other families down with us into training as well.

With this thought in mind, she went to discuss with the other three family heads, inviting them to also send their youths to build houses, and not to use house-building magical artifacts.

The three heads frowned immediately upon hearing this: "This is training?"

"Yes."

"As for houses and whatnot, we don't need to prepare everything too perfectly for the young ones."

Shi Youxing said solemnly:

"This is a joint exercise of the two major demon cultivator families, before a tomb exploration! Building houses is something for farmhands and masons to do. Our families are too spoiled, we need to blunt their arrogance first."

"Young people, enduring hardships is a blessing. As long as you endure more, as long as you go through hardship... there's a promising future."

The other three families couldn't argue with that.

The leading two major demon cultivator families had already set the example, and the three smaller families couldn't ignore the gesture.

Besides, the education of their family must be excellent to continuously strengthen their foundation.

Indeed, it's time for the youngsters of their families to experience some hardship.

Soon, a group of fierce-looking, broad-shouldered, clearly not benevolent strongmen, tough guys, and demon cultivators got sent to build houses together as well.

"..."

A few enthusiastic, battle-spirited demon cult bosses exchanged glances: Isn't the first meeting between demon cultivator families supposed to be a fight, blood splattering, to assert dominance? How did tradition become like this?

They are bandits, taught from a young age with raiding education, fighting, plundering, never involved in house building.

Yet here, they could only grit their teeth and join in, enthusiastically building houses together.

The entire construction site was bustling with activity.

Coming and going, laying bricks, chopping wood, building houses.

"It's rather strange."

Shi Youxing watched with her hands behind her back as the five families engaged in joint training.

It was supposed to be tomb robbery together.

How did it gradually turn into a group of demon cultivators building houses together?

She was a person keen on observation, silently watching those who first led the house-building endeavor.

Those disciples of the Blood Separation Flower family were passionately teaching others to build houses, sharing experience, extremely selfless, extremely enthusiastic.

Speaking phrases half-understood, half-not.

"Are you also an Earth and Wood Holy Body?"

"You lay bricks quickly too."

"Your family's Spiritual Root is perfect for digging."

"Big brother, your strength is so great, amazing."

"No worries, being a bit soft is also cute."

Their words carried a unique magnetic charm, subtly and continually praising others.

Soon, they were laughing, arm-in-arm with the construction site "buddies," having a blast.

Shi Youxing sensed something unusual:

"Each one of them is very good at complimenting others, great at socializing, loves to chat, and when working together, consciously or unconsciously praises other family disciples, stimulating their enthusiasm, and closing the gap between them."

Moreover, she secretly perked up her ears, overhearing something noteworthy.

Those heading the Blood Separation Flower family, after building houses, wanted to take it a step further, already pulling people from other families to farm together, capture some demon beasts from the desolate mountain, and raise them.

Claiming that before entering the tomb, they must make full and adequate logistical preparations.

Tomb raiding concerns life and death; one cannot fight a battle without certainty.

And also planned, at the entrance of the tomb shaft, to set up some tower defense, various traps, tunnel warfare, to prevent the enemy from chasing them out.

If enemies chased them from the tomb, their tower defense could eliminate them!

"What on earth is this nonsense."

Shi Youxing's mouth twitched fiercely, finally understanding why others said these people had problems in the head.

This batch of demon cultivator disciples is quite extraordinary!

Shi Youxing continued to silently observe, to see what tricks the demon cultivator friends next door were up to.

She had originally jokingly referred to the Brain Separation Flower.

Were they seriously beginning to explore the embryonic form of this cultivation technique?

Causing the young generation's brains to really have mental issues?

Not the brutal and murderous kind, just the...very peculiar kind.

...

...

"Heave-ho."

"Heave-ho."

"Listen to my count; one, two, three, pull!"

A group of people pulled a mound of logs strung together, rushing over from a distance, dismantling the logs, and joining the house-building endeavor.

After all.

On the first day of crossing over, all the families didn't explore the ancient tomb but instead built a gathering point outside.

Building houses as they went, it was all about exercising the youth anyway.

And as for the tomb shaft, Su Yuniang had also gone over to take a look.

Dark and gloomy, unable to see what's inside, probably the entrance to the instance.

And in the distance, the heads of several families were exchanging thoughts.

"Those scholarly disciples from the Blood Separation Flower family seem to be new sprouts, recently blooming Three Flowers after the Red Sun, just stepped onto the Immortal Cultivation path, just the first body of the Five-Body Realm."

"Probably not the core, the bloom isn't Blood Separation Flower, it's all mutated Wine Rice?"

They immediately saw through the gist.

After all, the Wine Rice hairstyle was too obvious.

Currently, at Sword Casting Manor, the Middle Grade Soul Separation Flower is a rarity, most are still from the previous Low Grade Shadow Rice Wine.

"It's a Yin Spirit Root, but a Low Grade one."

"Have they begun to divide Heart Power to cultivate the Yin Spirit Root?"

"Not necessarily, the Yin and Yang opposites, sometimes during the advancement of the Yang Spirit Root, a Low Tier Yin Spirit Root accompanies."

"Accompaniment often only occurs in advanced Spiritual Roots, it's rare and hard to come by, could it be that after thousands of years of accumulation and cultivation, the Blood Separation Flower has finally advanced to an Upper Grade Spiritual Root?"

Someone analyzed.

Everyone suddenly saw some possibility.

If the Spiritual Root advanced, that would truly be extraordinary.

The biggest gap between Middle Grade families and Upper Grade families is not power, foundation, or wealth, but their foundational Spiritual Roots.

The combat power disparity among cultivators of the Same Tier is exceedingly vast!

And this gap manifests in the Spiritual Roots and the maturity of the corresponding Cultivation Techniques.

"However, their family education is indeed commendable."

"I also believe it should be so, remain calm in honor or disgrace, building houses, training people." They kept muttering.

"Learning is always good, especially when even such a heritage-rich demon cultivator family educates their descendants in this way, we should humbly learn."

...

Such a prominent family educating their disciples this way, they naturally overanalyze, thinking there might be profound meaning behind it.

After all, the next generation is the family's future, who would mess around with this aspect?

The consequences of messing around are terrifying.

As long as a single generation experiences breaks, there's a high risk of decline, even extinction.

Therefore, that Meat Field elder sister was so shocked seeing the Manor Master's education, wanting to discuss properly to prevent the family's core from withering.

And while the other three small families were discussing, only Shi Youxing continued to frown secretly:

"I do appreciate this house-building education...but the problem isn't the education itself, it's the people, everything feels increasingly discordant, extremely odd."

Because as she continued to observe, after most of the day, she'd noticed.

During the house-building process, a few family disciples who were lacking independence and easily influenced began sneaking around as well, learning from the others how to dig treasure boxes, rummaging through everything,

even knocking on trees a couple of times to see if there were any treasures underneath.

She had a bad feeling, our young disciples' style might be getting assimilated by them!
