Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 463 - 429:

Speaking of which, it’s quite interesting.

When Chen Xu came to see Ji Yang, Ji Yang was just getting into a confrontation with his fellow disciple for stepping out of the room at the same time in the morning.

At that moment, Ji Yang heard the morning lecture bell ringing inside and immediately sat up from bed.

He lived in a four-person room for outer disciples, and the accommodation was not actually cramped.

The living space for the four-person disciple room was quite large, but there was no place to wash inside.

Qi Cultivation disciples couldn’t clean themselves of dust and dirt and, like mortals, needed to eat, drink, defecate, and also had cleaning needs.

Upon hearing the bell, Ji Yang naturally wanted to get up quickly, go outside, and wash up in the cleansing room.

This was taught to him by Zhou Monkey yesterday.

Zhou Monkey told him, "You live in the disciple courtyard, don’t worry about anything else, but you must be active in washing up in the morning.

Otherwise, if you’re slow, you won’t be able to get a spot at the water, and if you delay the morning lecture, the teaching elder will surely reprimand you.

You shouldn’t take this reprimand lightly; if you’re reprimanded more than three times in a month, you’ll lose the qualification to attend morning lectures.

Our teaching hall has a large spirit-gathering array that can help disciples accelerate cultivation.

If you miss the morning lecture, the loss is simply incalculable."

Ji Yang kept these words in mind, naturally very concerned about this matter.

But who would have thought that the next morning, because he was too proactive, he bumped into another disciple who also got up quickly.

Ji Yang was at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, while the other was at the seventh level, a clear gap in their cultivation levels.

That disciple immediately glared with anger and accused Ji Yang:

"What are you? How dare you fight me for space?

Don’t think just because you came along with Brother Zhou yesterday that we fear you.

Brother Zhou has always been fair and reasonable, and if he saw you, a newly-entered disciple, daring to fight with your senior in the morning, breaking the sect rules.

We wouldn’t even need to complain; Brother Zhou would surely first reprimand and punish you for not abiding by the rules!"

A whole string of accusations fell onto Ji Yang’s head.

When Ji Yang initially bumped into this person, he originally wanted to step back and let him go out first.

But who would have thought this person would unleash a torrent of accusations, even bringing up Zhou Monkey?

And kept saying he was not following the rules and not respecting his senior brothers.

Ji Yang, not being a man of words, turned red-faced and nervous at that moment.

He even began to doubt himself: Could it be that he was indeed too impatient, breaking the rules?

But he just got up normally, and the collision was unintentional.

Such an accidental bump, did it really warrant such a severe scolding?

Ji Yang felt deep down that it shouldn’t be like this.

This didn’t even feel like a normal squabble between disciples, but rather a malicious probe.

At this moment, if he were to retreat, the care Zhou Monkey extended by bringing him to the disciple courtyard would likely vanish.

But if he didn’t yield, he lacked the cultivation to back it up.

What should I do in this situation?

Despite his anxious heart, Ji Yang mustered up his courage and said:

"Don’t bring up Brother Zhou; I didn’t break any rules.

I just got up normally, who would have expected to bump into you at the door?

This, this is—"

Before he could finish speaking, that disciple barked, "You’re still talking back!"

As soon as he finished, he turned around, raised his palm, and was about to strike Ji Yang.

Seeing this person approaching fiercely, Ji Yang’s heart pounded like drums, ready to pull out his last protection talisman.

Suddenly, a voice outside the door called out, "Is Ji Yang here? Elder Uncle Chen is here to see you!"

Elder Uncle Chen!

Those three short words, like thunder, resounded in everyone’s ears.

It’s not that "Elder Uncle Chen" was a familiar phrase, but "Elder Uncle" denoted hierarchy.

To be an Elder Uncle, wouldn’t one at least have to be at the Golden Core Stage?

An Elder Uncle at the Golden Core Stage, which Qi Cultivation disciple wouldn’t look up to?

Even the disciple, who was about to give Ji Yang a palm thus suppressing him, couldn’t help but retract his hand immediately.

This person’s name was Xu Bo.

When Xu Bo withdrew his hand, he even risked True Qi backlash because of it.

He staggered and stumbled a step, hastily placing his palm on the ground beside him.

Bam!

The green brick floor of the room quivered slightly; if not for the protective formation, it might have cracked open on the spot.

Then, Xu Bo watched as the enormous delight appeared on Ji Yang’s face.

A moment later, a few Senior Brother Deacons from the disciple courtyard came in, surrounding a young man in a blue robe.
