Following the map on the pamphlet, several people arrived at the dining hall. Immediately, someone came over to greet them: "Several fellow masters, come and have a meal? Please sit down, and if you want to send food later, just say so."
This person is quite old, with only a single layer of Qi refinement, he must be the son of a Xian family, with poor spiritual roots, and can only do odd jobs here.
Among them, Xu Jing was the most familiar with it, so he said: "Let's just eat what we should eat."
The man responded with a sound and retreated. Before long, an ordinary woman brought up the dishes, apparently prepared in advance.
Mo Tian Ge took a glance, Stir-fried mustard greens, Braised cucumber, Steamed pork ribs, Stir-fried rabbit meat, and a bowl of fish soup, all had a faint spiritual energy. It seems that the Yunwu Sect's food is not bad.
Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhi picked up the bowls and chopsticks, but saw that the other two were motionless. Xu Jing Zhi then said: "Two seniors, you don't need to worry, actually food with spiritual energy, eating it doesn't matter, after a period of time it will be digested like a poison pill, it won't affect your cultivation."
Liu Yidao hesitated: "Really?"
Mó Tiān Gē laughed and said: "That's right, otherwise why would the sect still need to set up a cafeteria, can't they just directly give the disciples elixir pills to eat?"
It makes sense to think about it, but Liu Yidao asked again: "Isn't it because the Biegu Dan is troublesome to refine?"
Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhe were both stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
Qin Xi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "The sect encourages eating Biegu Dan, which reduces food cravings and helps with cultivation mentality. However, eating spiritual foods won't hurt either. If it's a spiritual beast, it can even increase one's own spiritual energy, without any harm."
Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhi listened and nodded repeatedly.
"It was like this." Liu Yidao also picked up his chopsticks and the four of them started eating.
Most of the time, it was Mo Tian Ge and Xu Jing Zhi who ate, but they only tasted a few mouthfuls. It can be seen that these two are people with firm Taoist hearts, and do not care about desires of the mouth and stomach.
They ate something casually, and both Mocheng Ge and Xu Jingzhi instructed to send meals every day, so they didn't spend time coming here again. Originally, the disciples of the sect were all like this, no one wanted to spend their daily time on the road, just asking someone to send meals was enough.
After leaving Yi Zhen Tang, the four of them followed Xu Jingzhi to stroll around Yunwu Mountain, familiarized themselves with the terrain, and then returned together.
Mo Tian Ge also recognized the terrain in this mountain. Yunwu Mountain has two peaks, north and south, and new disciples like him are all on the southern peak. The southern peak is shorter, with less spiritual energy, and the mountain gate leads directly to the city, making it very convenient for low-ranking disciples. The northern peak is much higher, with several times more spiritual energy, and it's said that one needs to lay a foundation before moving to the northern peak, but as a Qi-refining disciple like him, there are no tasks that can't be done on the northern peak.
On the southern peak, there are Zhenbao Hall, Zhishi Hall, and Chuandao Palace. Zhenbao Hall is where the gatekeeper handles affairs, but usually, the gatekeeper stays on the northern peak, and the disciples on the southern peak are managed by the administrator of Zhishi Hall. Zhishi Hall manages all matters related to the cultivation of Qi, including assigning tasks, distributing spiritual stones and elixirs, arranging accommodations, resolving disputes, etc. Chuandao Palace is where lectures are given, every ten days, a Jigou cultivator would give a lecture here, occasionally, a Jiandan cultivator would come, which is the most welcome thing for Qi cultivation disciples.
As for chores, they are usually done by miscellaneous disciples in most sects. Miscellaneous disciples, unlike formal registered disciples, are those who failed to be selected during the ten-year mountain gate opening and spiritual root collection. They voluntarily become miscellaneous disciples to handle various trivial matters such as guarding the door, running errands, sweeping, etc. The ones serving food in the cafeteria are also miscellaneous disciples. Like formal disciples, miscellaneous disciples receive spirit stones, but the amount varies depending on their tasks, and they do not get any elixirs. However, if a miscellaneous disciple is favored by an elder, they can be promoted to become a formal disciple, which is why many people still want to become miscellaneous disciples.
Of course, these formal disciples are not idle either. For example, guarding the mountain gate requires a formal disciple to lead them, taking care of spiritual grass, assisting in alchemy and equipment refinement, all led by a formal disciple with several miscellaneous disciples doing tasks. However, compared to miscellaneous disciples, formal disciples only need to do one or two chores per year, leaving plenty of time for cultivation.
Returning to their residence, several people found a strange monk watering two spiritual grasses next to the first room. The first room, when they were sent here yesterday, those two Qi-refining disciples mentioned that it was managed by them, and the manager of this place where they lived was Zhou Shixiong, who just happened to be temporarily absent.
They all looked at this person, and everyone's face was different, because this person's cultivation was actually higher than that of a tenth-level Qi Refining cultivator, but not yet in the Foundation Establishment stage, roughly around the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
Divided by the boundary of refining Qi, layers 1-4 are the initial stage of refining Qi, layers 5-7 are the middle stage of refining Qi, and layers 8-10 are the later stage of refining Qi. The completion of layer 10 is also the completion of the refining Qi period. However, there is a situation where one's cultivation can surpass the 10th layer of refining Qi without entering the foundation building period, which is when one consumes the foundation building pill but fails to build the foundation and instead absorbs all the medicinal power, thus entering the 11th layer of refining Qi.
It is said that if the foundation is not established, the spiritual energy will not increase. If this happens, then the cultivator only needs two foundation-establishing pills to succeed in establishing the foundation - taking a foundation-establishing pill at the 11th level of Qi Refining may even allow entry into the 12th level of Qi Refining, but for a 12th-level Qi Refining cultivator, taking a foundation-establishing pill will definitely lead to entering the Foundation Establishment stage. As for ordinary disciples, the success rate with one foundation-establishing pill is only around 1-2%, so whenever a disciple reaches the 11th level of Qi Refining, they will almost certainly receive another foundation-establishing pill next time, which means they are basically predestined to become Foundation Establishment cultivators!
It seems that this is their Manager Zhou Shixiong, no wonder the management of that female hospital is named Ming Zhu Ji Shu, they are a Shixiong, it turns out that this Shixiong is not an ordinary disciple.
They were still in shock, when Zhou Shixiong had already finished watering the spiritual grass. He turned his head to glance at them and said while putting away the watering tools: "Are you the new disciples?"
Several people came back to their senses and hastily paid their respects: "We've seen you, Brother Zhou."
"Uh-huh," said the senior, and continued to trim the branches. "Since you're living here, you have to follow my rules. Whether you're cultivating or having fun on a daily basis, I don't care, but you can't disturb others, you can't go where you shouldn't be going, and you can't engage in private fights. If something happens outside the mountain that requires me to know about it, or if you have conflicts with others, you must report back to me. Of course, if you encounter any problems during your cultivation, you can also come ask me. Got it?"
Several people responded in unison: "Yes."
"Alright, you can go now."
Several people bowed again before returning to their own small halls.
As soon as he closed the door, Xu Jingzhi immediately envied: "So this is the eleventh layer of refining qi, Brother Zhou's air transport is really good."
Mò Tiān Gē had always thought that with her spiritual roots, the possibility of building a foundation was very small. Although the 11th layer of Qi Refining wasn't the foundation-building period, it was equivalent to having one foot across the threshold of the shared foundation-building gate.
Liu Yidao said, "We people from the Entrance Sect, who among us isn't rushing to get the Foundation Establishment Pill? It's just that we don't know if we have Brother Zhou's luck or not. If we can enter the 11th layer of Qi Refining, then getting the Foundation Establishment Pill will be a sure thing."
Qin Xi just said: "It's said that there are still three years until the big comparison at the gate of the sect, work hard."
Three people nodded in unison. Inside the gate, a big competition was held to reward the foundation-building pills according to ranking, and they would not let it go. However, Mo Tian Ge was worried. Liu Yi Dao was at the 10th level, and for these three years, he only needed to practice fighting against enemies. Qin Xi was at the 9th level, with a good chance of advancing to the 10th level, and he was also skilled in combat. Xu Jing Zhi's cultivation was higher than hers, and he had his family as backing. Only she, Mo Tian Ge, was at the 7th level of Qi Refining, and it was already lucky for her to be able to enter the sect. To reach the 9th level of Qi Refining within three years was already very ideal, so winning the foundation-building pills would be too difficult.
