Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 457 - 423:

What Innate Yuanfu Dao Body, Chen Xu naturally does not have!

Yet Master Mao was relentless, and once again approached Chen Xu, examining his entire body’s muscles and bones, probing thoroughly.

Soon, the expression on his face shifted from excitement to confusion, then from confusion to peculiar.

"It’s not, truly not a Daoist Body, you don’t have a Daoist Body, really no Daoist Body!

But without a Daoist Body, why do you show such profound understanding in the realm of Dao symbols?

Could it be that you are truly a person with extraordinary wit, excelling in anything you do?

Yet, without possessing a Daoist Body, can one still have such insight?"

Master Mao couldn’t believe it, and a long string of conspiracy theories even flashed through his mind.

Could it be that Chen Xu is a genius seed secretly nurtured by a sect, intensely trained beforehand, and then sent out to join other sects —

Because he learned so much, he could exhibit such talent everywhere?

This suspicion flashed by in Master Mao’s mind, but he dismissed it quickly himself. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He even amused himself with the idea that emerged.

As he always says, how worthy is his mere sixth-grade Shenji Sect?

A small Shenji Sect, which sect would invest such heart power?

The old rival, Bailian Sect?

Ha, that would indeed be overestimating Bailian Sect.

Though one shouldn’t belittle opponents, as belittling them is like belittling oneself.

But Master Mao belittles himself first, how could he then possibly overestimate the opponent’s sect?

A disciple like Chen Xu, any sect from the outer city that encounters him should fully nurture him and try to help him enter the inner city’s top sect.

Thus, they would receive rewards from the top sect and also gain long-lasting favor.

As for using him for conspiracy theories, on a small scale, it’s fine, but sending him to the opponent’s sect would solely aid the enemy.

According to this world’s sect policies, whoever raises a disciple, that disciple belongs to them.

If Chen Xu receives cultivation in Shenji Sect, and after advancing into the top sect, turns against Shenji Sect, favoring Bailian Sect instead.

Then there’s no need for Shenji Sect to react; Chen Xu himself would first be despised by the world.

Competing at the top sect is extremely intense.

If Chen Xu carries a reputation of ingratitude, his future prospects would be quickly severed in many aspects.

What hatred, what grudge, why would one harm themselves this way?

Master Mao dismissed the conspiracy guess, asking Chen Xu again: "My disciple, you didn’t study puppet formation runes beforehand, right?"

Chen Xu sincerely shook his head: "I have not studied it."

He indeed hadn’t studied puppet formation runes, but he had learned other runes.

Chen Xu initially intended to be straightforward, but considering the uniqueness of the ’Universal Transformation Talisman’.

He was uncertain if there existed similar magic in this world, so he held back, not directly revealing it.

Being honest with others doesn’t mean one must be without privacy.

Chen Xu asked Master Mao: "Master, what is the mystery of formation symbols?"

"Mystery of formation symbols, huh."

Master Mao, retracting his excitement, sighed: "The mystery of formation symbols refers to how certain formation symbol masters, upon learning to an advanced level in the path of formation symbols, end up encountering more confusion.

Beginners typically cannot experience the mystery of formation symbols.

Only advanced and insightful formation symbol masters might encounter the mystery before breaking through their level.

The mysteries experienced by different formation symbol masters often differ.

The one you are experiencing, my disciple, I have seen it in predecessors’ formation symbol notes."

It turns out Chen Xu isn’t the first to see the ’Threads of the World’!

However, Master Mao continued: "But mysteries related to the truth of heaven and earth often cannot be completely answered.

My disciple, encountering the mystery is good; it proves your extraordinary talent, far surpassing others.

Yet you are only a beginner; overthinking can disrupt understanding, which isn’t good.

I must carefully consider whether you should learn formation symbols now."

Saying this, he began pacing with hands behind his back.

After walking back and forth for about a dozen times, did he decisively say: "Before forming your Golden Core, you shouldn’t directly touch formation symbols.

Follow the steps, learn refining first, then tempering, and finally formation symbols.

So, return to your cave for cultivation, and come to the refining room at the hour of the rabbit each day to learn two hours of refining with me.

My disciple, I insist you learn refining, not out of personal interest in refining.

But because our sect’s supreme magic, Bai Lian Forging Divine Technique, can only be truly practiced through forging.

And Bai Lian Forging Divine Technique is our sect’s strongest method for advancing to Nascent Soul, a mysterious upper-grade cultivation technique that can even be directly practiced to Deity Transformation!

Though you haven’t yet achieved True Inheritor status for Bai Lian Forging Divine Technique, it’s essential to begin with forging.

Being part of the Shenji Sect, if one cannot forge divine spirit, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?"

Saying this, he gently patted Chen Xu’s shoulder with a subtle expression.

Chen Xu couldn’t quite decipher his master’s current expression, but he could feel Master Mao’s earnest intentions.

Chen Xu promptly said: "Thank you, Master, for thoughtfully planning for your disciple. I will follow your guidance."

Master Mao felt pleased, smiling again.

He nodded: "Good disciple, first cultivate in the sect for a month.

Once familiar with everything in the sect and having begun forging, you’ll go out on a True Inheritance Task.

After you complete the True Inheritance Task, you’ll focus intently on cultivation to prepare for Core Formation.

Core Formation will happen at the secret site within the Gates of Cataclysm; you needn’t worry as I have it planned."

Everything was well arranged.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu, usually obedient, suddenly said:

"Master, I have two friends back home I want to bring into the sect, so I might not be able to cultivate longer in the sect this time.

How about I first go for the True Inheritance Task, and retrieve my friends along the way, then focus on cultivation?"

Master Mao was stunned by this, he asked in return: "Your friends, you want to bring to Shenji Sect? Is it like... the one surnamed Ji, indeed, that boy has the surname Ji?

Are they like the friend surnamed Ji?"

Chen Xu replied: "No, they are two spirit beasts, very intelligent and interesting. They’ve accompanied me in cultivation for a long time, and I have a spirit beast contract with them, they are my friends."

Due to this world’s great prejudice against demons, Chen Xu carefully referred to Wei Yuan and Little Mouse as spirit beasts.

Actually, whether spirit beasts or little demons, it’s merely a name.

In Chen Xu’s heart, these two are friends, partners, even family!

Though he seemingly experienced a lot in this world, only a few days had truly passed.

Yet within those few days, he immensely missed the two.

Master Mao chuckled helplessly: "Two spirit beasts, you call them friends?

I thought you were suggesting a couple of outer disciples joining."

"Alright, alright, if you want to retrieve them, go ahead."
