The girl in the middle was named Sun Qingying. She was born into the Demon Race. Although her family had declined, her bloodline was noble and her inheritance remained intact. Once a true talent emerged within the household, the entire clan would inevitably rise again.

She possessed a complete cultivation path from Qi Refining all the way to the Demon Emperor Realm, which would save a great deal of trouble.

Aptitude: upper upper grade.

Cloud Nurturing recommendation level: 93 percent.

The girl on the far right was named Qi Yuan. She looked thin and frail, her whole body dirty, her expression filled with fear. Because of war, she had been displaced and separated from her family. She was currently begging for a living within a mortal dynasty.

Aptitude: upper upper grade.

Cloud Nurturing recommendation level: 90 percent.

After reviewing their information and combining it with the system’s earlier prompt, Ye Yu finally understood.

The reason the Cloud Nurturing Compass had not activated before was not because of his age.

It was because the compass had been searching for suitable Cloud Nurturing targets.

They could have said so earlier. He had worried for nothing all these years!

Still, it was worth it. The three people it found all had comprehensive ratings above ninety.

That greatly reduced the chance of stepping into a pit.

One could say it was quite considerate.

Now he only needed to choose a good Cloud Nurturing target.

The first one, the male—immediately eliminated.

No special reason. He simply did not like that overly confident look at such a young age.

If he was already like that now, and Ye Yu gave him a bit of support in the future, would he not become unbearably arrogant?

So scram!

As for the second one, she was actually very good. She had a perfect family cultivation system.

If Ye Yu chose her as a Cloud Nurturing target, things would be extremely easy.

Each day he would only need to invest some cultivation resources. Other than that, he would not need to worry about anything at all.

It could be said to be easy to handle, zero difficulty.

But Ye Yu still chose to refuse.

It was not because this Cloud Nurturing target was as fat as a pig and ugly in appearance.

Rather, Ye Yu preferred doing things with a bit of challenge. For such an easy target, he truly could not be bothered!

Fine, forget it. He would be honest.

Her looks really were a deduction factor for Sun Qingying.

But that was only human nature.

Think about it. With a Cloud Nurturing Compass, the most important word should be “nurturing.”

One day, when you want to gift your Cloud Nurturing target a divine pill, but upon seeing that ugly face, you subconsciously crush the pill in your hand—

Appearance really was not something that could be ignored.

Thus, Sun Qingying was directly eliminated.

Which made the answer obvious.

The third Cloud Nurturing target—Qi Yuan.

She looked soft and fragile, so pitiful it tugged at the heart. Just looking at her made Ye Yu subconsciously want to take out a pill.

This was what one called good first impression.

Ye Yu raised his hand and tapped Qi Yuan.

The next second, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Selection confirmed. Cloud Nurturing target determined."

"This target cannot be changed. Death equals termination. There will be no restart."

"Host is requested to care for the target diligently."

"Friendly reminder: the Cloud Nurturing target is currently extremely weak and cannot accept overly powerful nourishment. Host is advised to proceed step by step and nurture gradually."

After hearing the explanation, Ye Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

He had originally thought he could choose multiple Cloud Nurturing targets. He had not expected there to be only one.

And failure meant game over. That was a bit excessive, was it not?

While Ye Yu was still thinking, the compass screen had already changed.

A thin, small figure curled up at the base of a city wall, trying to preserve the last bit of warmth in her body that way.

Her eyes were fixed on the steamed bun shop across from her.

Clearly, Qi Yuan was starving.

On the left side of the screen were ten small heart slots. At present, only three remained.

If he was not mistaken, that was Qi Yuan’s health bar.

The next second, one more heart dimmed.

The entire screen began to fade toward gray.

A prompt appeared.

"Cloud Nurturing target detected to be in critical weakness. Please provide assistance immediately!"

Immediately after, a blue grid appeared.

Was something supposed to be placed inside?

Well, probably.

Ye Yu subconsciously looked toward his Storage Ring, but quickly shifted his gaze away.

As the Young Alliance Leader of the Divine Alliance, he had no fewer than seven Storage Rings on hand, each filled to the brim with treasures.

For a mortal, those things were divine objects—and deadly poison.

Not to mention a complete divine pill. Even a fragment of one contained enough power to cause Qi Yuan to explode and die.

Under such circumstances, what exactly could Ye Yu give her?

After thinking it over again and again, Ye Yu decisively began summoning people.

"All members of the God Clan who have ever stayed in the mortal realm, come see me immediately. All of you!"

It was true that Ye Yu bore the title of Top Trash of Xuanji Hall.

But at the same time, he was the Young Alliance Leader of the Divine Alliance and extremely generous in his dealings.

Anything he casually gave away was enough for an ordinary God Clan member to skip more than a hundred years of struggle.

It was pure opportunity.

Thus, when Ye Yu raised the call, in no more than ten breaths, over two hundred God Clan members had already gathered before him.

In everyone’s eyes were two words—desire.

An elderly man with the bearing of an immortal stepped forward slowly.

His name was Zhang Jiuyou. He was at the Heavenly God Realm. He had received quite a few benefits from Ye Yu in the past, so whenever Ye Yu summoned people, he always rushed to the front.

This time was no exception. He discreetly kicked aside a companion who had been about to step forward.

Then, with a fawning smile, he approached Ye Yu, bowed, and said, "Young Master, I am untalented, but I have stayed in the mortal realm for five thousand years and know quite a few things. May I ask what instructions you have today?"

Upon hearing that, quite a few God Clan members behind him revealed looks of disdain.

Five thousand years before ascending? And he dared to boast about it? Absolutely shameless.

Besides, everyone arrived at roughly the same time. What gave him the right to stand at the front?

Of course, those words could not be spoken openly.

Thus, everyone could only curl their lips slightly and then begin loudly promoting their own advantages.

"Young Master, I am known as the Encyclopedia of the Mortal Realm. If you need anything, come to me!"

"I was born humble. I have seen the rise and fall of dynasties, the warmth and coldness of human hearts, silent falling leaves. When it comes to experience, who else could compare to me?"

"Experience my foot! How old is Young Master? And you are talking about the weight of years? Get lost. Young Master, look for me. I am best at mortal realm games. I know over a hundred different kinds. Would you like to try?"

Listening to the noisy chatter,

Ye Yu waved his hand.

"All of you shut up. Now listen to me. Does anyone here have steamed buns on them?"
