Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 423 - 394_2
A Taiyi Return Talisman, no matter where you are within the Gate of Catastrophe, upon activation, this talisman can instantly bring you back to Canglan City.
Truly a life-saving divine talisman, extraordinarily mystical.
It’s just too expensive, it’s said that a genuine Taiyi Return Talisman costs at least eight hundred Qi Radiance Pills to purchase.
In my lifetime, I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to buy one."
The speaker clicks his tongue, full of regret.
The person next to him replies, "Join a Fifth Grade sect or higher, surely you can save up and afford it."
"In the Outer City, there are no Fifth Grade sects or higher to join. Only Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade sects... alas, what to do?"
Among the sighs, someone spoke up with an inspiring piece of news:
"Hey, don’t you all know? In our Canglan City, every sect has quotas for recommending members to higher sects.
As long as you perform excellently in your current sect, show talent and potential, there’s a chance you can directly move from an Outer City sect to participate in an Inner City sect examination.
Thus, you can come into contact with Fifth Grade sects and higher."
Wow, this news was like a pebble thrown into a tranquil lake, instantly stirring up thousands of ripples.
People couldn’t help but express repeatedly, "So there is such a deep connection, we never knew before."
Some even exclaimed excitedly, "That’s great, it’s truly worthy of Canglan Immortal City, never giving up on us lower-level cultivators."
Amidst the discussions, someone scoffed: "You are all imagining things; these Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade sects aren’t just open to anyone.
Not to mention moving from a Sixth or Seventh Grade sect to a Fifth Grade and higher sect.
You think you can’t get in just because you haven’t had the chance, is that why you can’t enter? Hehehe..."
Such mocking words were deeply provoking, and everyone immediately glared angrily.
Just as they were about to find out which fellow was so annoying, the transmission array suddenly activated.
Immediately, a strange feeling of weightlessness enveloped everyone present.
Chen Xu was among them, silently experiencing the peculiar sensation brought by the teleportation.
For a moment, he felt the entire world was blank.
The originally rich and three-dimensional universe seemed to dissolve into nothingness in an instant—
No, this isn’t nothingness!
It’s not nothingness, it would be better described as stillness.
Time and space seemed to have entered a flat, static state, including everyone present within this stillness.
People opened their eyes, losing their hearing, their sight, all their senses.
Chen Xu should also be among those who lost all senses, but at this subtle moment, his Netherworld Divine Power took effect.
With divine power, he instinctively perceived the anomaly of the world at that moment.
What exactly is a transmission array, what principle does it operate on?
Of course, Chen Xu couldn’t fully comprehend the truth with just one experience, but he vaguely felt as if he had grasped something.
Finally, at the instant he returned to reality, Chen Xu discovered that his Netherworld Divine Power had broken through!
He opened his eyes, and the noisy world returned before him.
Yet the entire world clearly seemed somewhat different in his vision.
It was a slightly familiar feeling, like unveiling a veil of obscurity.
This made Chen Xu realize immediately that if he were to use his Divine Power now, he could at least teleport five feet in a single step.
This might seem like a minor breakthrough, but in fact, it holds extraordinary significance.
Even more extraordinary is that Chen Xu found his divine thought, which had always been confined in this realm, could now leave his body and extend about a foot away!
He felt extraordinarily refreshed, keen of hearing and sight.
Dense spiritual qi converged from all directions, enveloping him.
He felt as though he had set foot into a pool of spiritual qi.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one enveloped by spiritual qi; everyone present was.
Some couldn’t help but let out comfortable moans and marveled: "The spiritual qi here is so dense, at least ten times stronger than where I was before.
Truly, this is Canglan Immortal City! Cultivating here, how could one not attain the great Dao?"
People stepped out of the transmission array, lifted their heads to behold the majestic city before them.
Standing at the foot of the Immortal Mountain now, the feeling was entirely different from observing the Immortal City from high above.
An indescribable grand aura descended from the sky, shaking their heart souls.
Canglan Immortal City doesn’t actually have city walls.
Only magnificent buildings stand side by side on the mountain, the city within the mountain, the mountain within the city.
Not far from the transmission array is a Spiritual Disc Bureau; anyone who wants to enter the city must exchange for a spiritual disc at the bureau.
Ten Qi Radiance Pills can be exchanged for one Yellow Level spiritual disc, allowing for a month’s stay in the Outer City.
Chen Xu quietly mixed with the crowd to enter the Spiritual Disc Bureau.
Ji Yang was not far in front of him, occasionally looking around, sometimes even softly calling out: "Senior, Senior?"
With Chen Xu ignoring him, Ji Yang could only disappointingly and nervously line up by himself.
This time, there were no twists and turns.
In the Spiritual Disc Bureau, no one dared cause trouble.
Each cultivator simply needed to hand over the Qi Radiance Pills and prove themselves free from evil by passing the test at the evil aura column in front of the bureau to obtain their own spiritual disc.
They didn’t even need to produce their identity tokens; in Canglan City, the spiritual disc serves as the identity token for all cultivators.
Outside tokens from smaller cities aren’t recognized by Canglan City.
Up ahead, Ji Yang successfully obtained his spiritual disc.
Then, after two others, it was Chen Xu’s turn.
Behind the recording table, the Blue Robe Supervisor spoke with indifference and carelessness: "Name, cultivation, age, sect?"
Chen Xu responded, "I am Chen Xu, cultivation level Late Stage Foundation Establishment, age eighteen, no sect."
He had just taken a Heart’s Desire Pill, now disguising his cultivation aura at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Of course, due to the special nature of the Food God Technique Scroll, unless he purposely reveals it, his cultivation aura remains highly obscure.
Upon hearing his response, the Blue Robe Supervisor suddenly lifted his head, gaze falling on Chen Xu:
"You are eighteen, without a sect, yet your cultivation is Late Stage Foundation Establishment?"
In his tone, there was an intangible lack of previous casualness.
Unperturbed and calm, Chen Xu replied, "Though I lack a sect, I do have a mentor. I’ve progressed quickly thanks to my mentor’s guidance."
With this answer, the Blue Robe Supervisor’s expression slightly relaxed.
The Blue Robe Supervisor indicated for Chen Xu to place his hand on the nearby evil aura column for testing, saying:
"Though you have a mentor, reaching Late Stage Foundation Establishment at eighteen marks notable talent.
Now that you’re in Canglan City, do you have any intention of joining a sect?"
With his hand on the evil aura column, undergoing the test, Chen Xu inwardly thought to himself: here comes the moment.
Indeed, appropriately showcasing his cultivation has proven necessary.
Doing so results in tangible benefits, avoiding many unnecessary detours.
As Chen Xu advanced to this point, he had already pondered joining a sect extensively.
He discovered this world was quite interesting.
Cultivators both value and don’t overly value mentorship.
A cultivator can join multiple, even dozens of sects throughout their life, having numerous masters.
Of course, the premise is that the individual can ascend as those cultivators discussed earlier, continuously joining higher sects.
When cultivators join higher sects, their original sect or mentors not only won’t resent them or feel betrayed but will regard it as an honor.
The more geniuses lower sects send to higher sects, the greater their prestige.
Over time, each genius entering a higher sect leaves a lasting bond with their original sect.
These elements are one of the reasons small sects can endure in the Xuantian Star Realm.
Thus, for some low-grade sects, cultivating disciples to enter higher sects is regarded as a path to advancement.
