Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 449 - 415

Half a quarter-hour later, on the arena.

Chen Xu stands in the thirteenth battle arena under the Mystic character, facing a mechanical puppet two zhang high.

As a crafting sect, the Divine Mechanism Gate doesn’t have much else but is abundant with various crafted artifacts.

Whether it’s magical instruments, magical treasures, or puppet mechanisms, the variety is extraordinary.

The architecture of the Divine Mechanism Gate is also grand and complex.

From the towering gates of the mountain entrance to the compound structures rising from below.

Such as the disciple courtyards, Lecture Hall, Spiritual Dining Hall, Martial Arts Hall, Sword Testing Field, Reception Hall, Starfire Platform, Thousand Forgings Workshop, Artifact Storage Pavilion and so on.

All these buildings are constructed alongside the mountains.

Everywhere, the spiritual charm is remarkable, and the grandeur is impressive.

Among the sect’s members, especially the Nascent Soul elders like Master Mao, often refer to their sect as a "small sect."

Honestly, Chen Xu has never seen what a truly grand sect looks like.

But from what he sees now, the Divine Mechanism Gate is by no means small.

Reportedly, the Divine Mechanism Gate has three thousand Qi Cultivation disciples, eight hundred Foundation Establishment disciples, and countless other servants.

Everywhere within the sect, disciples come and go, the landscape looks thriving, nothing like a small sect.

Of course, size is always relative.

The Divine Mechanism Gate is merely a Sixth Grade sect; in terms of ranking in Canglan Immortal City, it isn’t even noteworthy, so being called "small" isn’t wrong.

At this moment, there are quite a few disciples on the arena as well.

Many disciples have chosen to battle against puppets, deploying their own magical instruments and skills in the various battle arenas, creating a lively scene.

Some disciples have not chosen to battle puppets but instead engage in direct sparring and skill practice among fellow sect members.

In the vast arena, beams of magical spells fly crisscrossing, spiritual qi fluctuates fiercely everywhere.

However, the arena is built meticulously, using countless rare materials.

Everywhere are protective arrays, along with division arrays like the Yin-Yang arrays, segmenting each battle area horizontally and vertically.

Thus even if disciples exchange spells, it’s difficult for their attacks to penetrate the arrays and harm others.

Therefore, as Chen Xu entered the thirteenth battle arena under the Mystic character to face the puppet, he could naturally act freely without worrying about affecting others.

Nor did he have to worry about being affected by others.

The puppet on stage directly showed a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation realm.

Chen Xu thus cautiously controlled himself not to act out of line, engaging in battle with it.

What he didn’t know was that he thought he was discreet enough not to affect anyone else—

After all, when Master Mao brought him to the arena, Master Mao himself had also suppressed his aura.

A True Master Nascent Soul, if he wishes to hide himself, can ensure all disciples on the arena do not sense his presence.

Yet, while Master Mao and Chen Xu are hiding their auras and even casting spells, confusing others’ perceptions so that no one on the arena notices them.

However, throughout the Divine Mechanism Gate, Chen Xu’s name has already spread throughout the sect.

A Nascent Soul elder accepting a disciple is a significant event.

Many people, although they haven’t seen Chen Xu’s face, have remembered his name deeply just from hearing the rumors of his apprentice induction.

Rumors thus spread to every corner, swiftly taking flight with various versions.

Someone said, "Have you heard?

A message from the Reception Hall says our Master Mao, after killing Master Liao, was excessively heartbroken and accepted a disciple on the spot!"

And there were those who, full of regret, beat their chests, "I saw Master Liao being killed with my own eyes, but unfortunately, after Master Liao disappeared, the Elder drove us out of the Reception Hall.

So much so that I missed seeing the Elder accepting a disciple and did not notice what kind of demeanor that young master uncle had.

It’s a pity, I really wish I could beat myself up, why did I leave at that moment?"

Some naturally retorted, "Didn’t leave? Did you want to wait for the Elder’s scolding?"

The other was instantly speechless.

Of course, among them, there are also those feeling sour, discontent... various feelings, all not surprising.

Chen Xu was taken away by Master Mao, while Ji Yang was arranged by Zhou Monkey, who also recorded him in the Spiritual Register, officially joining the Divine Mechanism Gate as an outer sect disciple, but let’s not speak more of that.

Although Ji Yang is an outer sect disciple, he is well treated.

Zhou Monkey specifically took care of him, instructing him to take on an errand for an attendant to a direct disciple.

Being an attendant to a direct disciple means following closely around Chen Xu, running errands for him, helping with chores.

Ji Yang is delighted, feeling nothing inappropriate about this arrangement.

On the contrary, he’s relieved.

If he were to stay by himself in the outer sect, along with most other outer sect Qi Cultivation disciples, he would be anxious and afraid.

As for Ye Ningzhen and Shao Jiliang, they returned to their respective caves to heal.

A quarter-hour later, on the thirteenth Mystic arena, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage puppet was burned to the point its joints melted and could no longer move by Chen Xu’s flames.

Master Mao’s eyes grew brighter, he praised with clicks of his tongue:

"So hot and pure, the control is fine-tuned, good disciple, your Fire Control Skill can truly be considered as reaching perfection.

Come, let’s try two more!"

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage mechanical puppet turned into two.

After another quarter-hour, both mechanical puppets were burned and destroyed.

And this time, not only were their joints melted, but Chen Xu even found the puppet’s core, nearly burning it to charcoal.

Though Master Mao timely saved the cores of the two puppets, he did not feel distressed, rather he only said:

"Disciple, if I release three puppets and you manage not to damage their cores while defeating them, I shall grant you these three puppets."

Chen Xu didn’t expect to receive such rewards, he responded:

"Master, if the three puppets are damaged to the point they lose mobility, can they still be salvaged and used thereafter?"

Master Mao’s fan flapping beside him made a whooshing sound, he laughed and pretended to be mysterious:

"Whether the puppets can be used after being damaged depends on the severity of your actions, disciple."
