Chapter 8 Something is wrong with this Supreme Sect

The Supreme Sect is located in the northern part of Zhongzhou. Although spring has already begun in the south, the sky has just cleared after the snow in the north.

Amid the clouds and mountains, nine peaks are staggered in an orderly manner, with mountains overlapping each other, snow-capped mountaintops, lush pine forests, and above the sky, a trail of light mist can be vaguely seen being dragged out in a long line by the wind.

The spirit ship stopped on a high peak, and in front of it was a huge square. Nine stone pillars stood neatly in the square, surrounding a black and white patterned Bagua training ground. A huge bronze tripod stood in the middle, with three incense sticks inside that had just burned halfway, the red color buried in ashes, and faintly showing signs of it still burning.

He Gui noticed that Lin Du's eyes fell on the three incense sticks, and explained, "This is the main peak of the sect. The three incense sticks are to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Great Dao."

"Now that you have entered our Supreme Sect, you must meet our leader first."

As soon as He Gui finished speaking, two figures appeared in front of the square. In addition to the three incense sticks in the air, there was also a faint aroma of... stewed pork with sauerkraut.

Lin Du felt that she was a little hungry, otherwise how could she smell such food? She raised her eyes and looked.

One of them had a beautiful face and a graceful manner, and was dressed in a purple lotus robe with silver threads, which shone brightly in the sunset, as dazzling as spring flowers.

One of them was more in line with Lin Du's imagination of what an elder should look like. He was dressed in a plain white robe, but not pure white. His hair was adorned with intricate silver butterfly patterns. His eyebrows and eyes were cold, and only a red mole at the corner of his eye gave him a different kind of charm.

She looked like a goddess or fairy, a celestial being descending to earth, if you ignored the greasy spatula in the purple-robed female cultivator's hand, and a handful of fresh green leafy vegetables dripping with water in the white-robed female cultivator's hand.

What a pure and unpretentious fairy.

Lin Du took a step back, wondering if she had entered the wrong sect.

[No, honey, you are not in the wrong place]

"Greetings, Master." He Gui bowed and saluted.

The people behind him followed suit, but the gorgeous woman laughed and said, "That's enough, there are only a few of us here, why bother pretending to be serious?"

Lin Du was stunned for a moment. Why did this sect seem different from what he had imagined?

The purple-clothed woman took a quick look and her eyes fell on Lin Du. "Where did you kidnap such a little kid? Poor thing. Tianwu, take her to your uncle Jiang Liang for a look. If she needs any herbs, you can get them from the sect's storehouse."

"If there is none...then let's see if we can grow crops in the fertile soil in the back mountain. Otherwise, you can go to the secret realm more often. After all, the purpose of our Supreme Sect is to be self-sufficient."

He Gui curled his lips, and his gentle appearance just now was no longer there. "Master Sister, please leave some imagination for the children."

The purple-clothed woman laughed and said, "You've already lied to me, where else can you go?"

Several new disciples looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Since there are only four disciples, the two of you who are accepting disciples this year should divide it equally."

Ju Yuan and Cang Li looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Du at the same time, as if she was not a human, but a big chicken leg just out of the oven.

Lin Du: ...The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Those who went to farm haven't come back yet, so I'll be cooking tonight." Feng Chao said with a smile, "Okay, they are all our own children, let's not talk about those empty words, it's too late, your cultivation is still shallow, you must be hungry, eat first, and we'll talk after dinner."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from nowhere in the square, "Tell the child to come directly to Lose after dinner."

Luoze has been frozen for ten thousand years, and even low-level cultivators cannot stand it. Only those with ice spiritual roots can survive it. The person who called out could only be Lin Du.

Feng Chao was startled for a moment, then responded and looked at Lin Du, "I think the Immortal Master Yan Ye who is in seclusion in the forbidden area wants to accept you as his disciple. He is also born with ice spirit roots, and he is also the last disciple of my master before he ascended to heaven."

Ju Yuan's eyelids twitched and his look suddenly became strange. I treat you as my apprentice, and you want to be my junior sister?

The group arrived at the dining hall in a mighty procession. On the table, there was a pot of pickled cabbage stewed with pork, a pot of goose stewed in an iron pot, a large pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a mountain of steamed buns and rice. Then the female cultivator in white hurried into the kitchen, "There is one last dish. Wait a moment."

Lin Du took a deep breath. There was something wrong with this Supreme Sect.

Something is really wrong.

But...it smells so good.

A group of people sat down at the table, and soon the eyes of several children lit up.

"It seems that the head sister used low-level spirit beasts to take care of you today. The spiritual energy is just right for you monks who have just entered the Tao." He Gui explained.

If you eat a spiritual beast that is much higher in rank than yourself, it will have too much spiritual energy and will explode and die.

"This is low-level spirit pork stewed with sunflower pickles made by our sect. The soil in our Supreme Sect is excellent, and the sunflower pickles were just pickled. And this Shu Yan, we only eat it during major festivals. This is to celebrate you new disciples entering the sect."

The three real men began to serve rice to the children, using a basin that was bigger than Lin Du’s face.

Lin Du said modestly, "I am weak and can only eat a small amount of rice, so I will just eat one bite."

He Gui nodded, then pressed down the rice that was piled high in the basin and handed it to her, "Here, one mouthful."

Lin Du: ...That’s fine too.

After a cup of tea, the thin and weak young man in blue clothes held the basin in one hand and the chopsticks in the other. On the chopsticks were the big goose legs that everyone had given her, and there was also a chicken leg with a thick sauce in the bowl.

And three quarters of the rice in the compacted rice bowl was gone.

Lin Du ate very quickly, one mouthful of meat and one large chopstickful of rice, as if it was a set routine. However, his eating manner was extremely elegant, and except for the sounds of chewing and swallowing, he was very quiet. He looked neither fast nor slow, but in fact, he made rapid progress.

The remaining three disciples looked at this person with a "weak body and small appetite", who finished a bowl of rice, two legs and half a piece of pickled cabbage and pork, then calmly put down his bowls and chopsticks... and then picked up a steamed bun.

The elders looked at Lin Du with loving eyes. Look, this child has suffered a lot in the mortal world. No wonder he is so thin. He hasn't eaten enough in thirteen years.

"Elder, don't you want to eat?"

"We won't eat. I'll wait for you to reach the Huiyang Realm. Then you can directly use the energy of heaven and earth for your own use, and you won't need to eat anymore."

The lowest among the elders of the Supreme Sect has already entered the fourth stage, Huiyang Realm, and the leader has even entered the fifth stage, Qianyuan Realm.

Finally, after finishing a bowl of rice and a steamed bun that was half the size of his face, Lin Du stopped and praised sincerely, "The rice cooked by the master is really delicious."

The ingredients in the world of cultivation are much more delicious than those in the mortal world, and the Supreme Sect is rich in spiritual energy and has fertile land, so the ingredients grown here have a natural spiritual flavor. Lin Du touched his stomach and realized that he had eaten a little too much.

The smile in Feng Chao's eyes grew even wider, but the disciple behind him seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Junior sister, will something happen to you if you eat so much?"

Feng Chao was stunned for a moment, "For example?"

"For example, she is going to advance."

Everyone stared blankly at the green-robed young man sitting in the middle, but saw her rubbing her stomach, subconsciously trying to guide the spiritual energy emitted from the stomach contents into the central meridian, so the spiritual energy continued to circulate, and finally gathered in the dantian, forming a faint white light ball.

The ball of white light continued to grow larger, and his originally bulging stomach gradually lost its excessive fullness, but Lin Du still couldn't stop.

He Gui Zhenren: You see! I told you that it is easier for the geniuses in our sect to absorb spiritual energy than to eat or drink water!
