Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 459 - 425

What do you mean by mid-grade Ninth?

"Even with spiritual patterns, it’s still only mid-grade?"

Master Mao was amused by Chen Xu, as he had never laughed in such a way before.

He pointed at Chen Xu, giving him a look as if he were some monstrous creature, but his mouth corners lifted high, revealing an indescribably strange smile.

"Mid-grade Ninth... only?" Master Mao chuckled, "My dear apprentice, you, you, you are truly...

Haha, hahaha!

I knew it! I knew it..."

He originally wanted to say again, I knew my vision was excellent and that I had found a genius balanced in all aspects.

And promptly took him as a disciple.

But thinking that he had praised Chen Xu repeatedly, and if he praised him excessively, making his disciple arrogant and complacent, what then?

Such a talented disciple mustn’t be led astray by him!

Therefore, Master Mao swallowed back his words, finally turning them into:

"My apprentice, you are right, it’s only mid-grade Ninth, you still have a long way to go, don’t get complacent.

You must know that Ninth-grade artifacts are usually used by Qi Cultivators.

Now that you are already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, this Ninth-grade artifact is useless in your hands.

Just that you’re new to artifact forging, you can only start with the lowest and simplest artifacts.

Of course, don’t be discouraged.

After all, you are a novice... haha, haha."

Master Mao forced a serious face, but after speaking, he couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, he slightly moved his eyes, coughed lightly, and said to Chen Xu: "My apprentice, pass me this heart-protecting mirror.

After all, it’s something you made while learning; as your master, I should examine it thoroughly, to see your shortcomings."

In the end, Chen Xu handed over the heart-protecting mirror he crafted for the first time to Master Mao.

Master Mao carefully placed the heart-protecting mirror close to his body.

Clearing his throat, he put on a stern demeanor as a teacher would and said to Chen Xu, "Alright, you’ve just started today; crafting this heart-protecting mirror is enough.

Since you mentioned going out for the True Inheritance Task and intending to bring your two friends over, you should set off tomorrow.

Come, first acknowledge ownership with these three puppets.

This is the spell for controlling puppets... remember it well, practice daily, and you’ll become proficient in control.

Alright, let’s head out."

Chen Xu acknowledged the ownership of all three puppets, and during the process, he constantly felt his True Yuan stirring restlessly.

This was a "side effect" from the previous forging.

Yes, although Chen Xu had finished forging, the steam of his Qi Blood continued to surge.

Chen Xu even felt that through this tempering, he not only further mastered his body’s strength.

But also might be close to touching the threshold of the Golden Core Sixth Layer again!

This means, through this forging, Chen Xu found a new direction to digest the Tri-Attribute.

Thus, his cultivation was invisibly advanced rapidly.

He had to suppress it, as he didn’t dare to break through to the Golden Core Sixth Layer directly in front of Master Mao.

If he really did, even if Master Mao wanted to believe him, he might still have to dub him with conspiracy theories.

Chen Xu could only hold it in, exerting all his might.

The feeling of it was both joyful and painful, truly hard to describe.

Finally, as Master Mao and Chen Xu left the forging room, both had strange expressions.

Master Mao was elated yet pretended to be serious.

Chen Xu remained calm to maintain composure.

Creak, the stone door of the forging room opened.

The old Dong, who had been standing by the door, instantly sprang out a dozen feet away like a monkey, then looked at Master Mao with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

With hands behind his back, Master Mao walked proudly out with his disciple.

The two old men exchanged glances.

In the end, Master Mao couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Old Ge couldn’t hold back either, immediately blurting out, "Senior Brother, such luck... dog...!"

"What did you say?" Master Mao glared.

Old Ge quickly bent over, chuckling, and said:

"Senior Brother Mao, I was saying, you are truly lucky, having such an excellent disciple, it’s indeed heaven’s favor for you."

Master Mao burst into laughter, chest out, striding away.

Only after leading Chen Xu far away did his voice come from the front: "Old Ge, heaven favors your senior brother, are you on your senior brother’s side?"

Old Ge responded with an "ah," craning his neck to watch ahead and said: "Senior Brother, what is that supposed to mean? When have I not been on your side?"

"That’s great." Master Mao replied, "Next time my disciple comes to the private refining workshop, if you have time, help your senior brother out.

I might not always be available to guide my disciple in forging; when I’m not here, my junior uncle will need to cover for me, what do you say?"

Old Ge hesitated for a moment.

Then his entire posture straightened, and a broad smile spread across his previously wrinkled face.

"Oh, Senior Brother, how can you say that.

What’s yours is mine!

What do you mean, ’what do I say?’ Of course, I have to help, absolutely must cover."

"Good!" Master Mao laughed in response, eventually his voice fading away.

He left the Qian Duan Workshop with Chen Xu.

Once again, Chen Xu traversed Zone Four, witnessing the grand spectacle of collective artifact forging, but let’s not elaborate on that.

When the two left the Qian Duan Workshop, they saw the night sky outside was brilliantly lit, and the moon hung high, unknowingly the sky had darkened.

The two stayed in the forging room for nearly two to three hours.

Now the night was deep and moonlit, another day had passed just like that.

The night at Shenji Sect was particularly splendid; standing at the entrance of the Qian Duan Workshop, Chen Xu couldn’t help but pause slightly.

Along the mountain gate roads, lights flickered on and off everywhere.

Yet those lights weren’t ordinary lanterns.

But various puppets fluttering with bronze wings, with radiant stones inside, each with different shapes!

These puppets were in the shapes of dragonflies, swallows, some like cute raccoon dogs, some with blue faces, ferocious yet tiger-headed—

Apparently, deliberately made to appear innocent for some fearsome demonic beasts.

And all these puppet lights didn’t require deliberate control, yet they flew on their own in the air.
