Suddenly, Jiang Youfu felt the sensation inside his body, which had been on the verge of bursting out, intensify violently.
The next moment, he saw a strand of spiritual essence, transforming into magnificent colored light, surge out from within him.
It then condensed into a mass in front of him, floating in the air.
This mass of colored light shifted and changed continuously.
Finally, something resembling a book materialized from it and hovered before him.
The colored lights gradually dissipated into the air afterward.
When the colored lights vanished completely, the book formed from spiritual essence slowly fell into Jiang Youfu's hands.
Looking at the book in his palm, which was not made of paper and ink, Jiang Youfu was utterly shocked.
This thing had come out of his own body.
He looked at the book's cover.
Glowing characters on it read: Origin Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter.
The next instant, he felt the spiritual energy from all directions rush madly toward him, eagerly pouring into his body.
Subsequently, his cultivation base began to skyrocket without stopping.
Qi Condensation Seventh Layer,
Qi Condensation Eighth Layer,
Qi Condensation Ninth Layer,
Qi Condensation Great Circle,
Foundation Establishment!
As if someone were empowering him with a spiritual energy infusion, his cultivation astonishingly shot up from the original Qi Condensation Sixth Layer straight to Foundation Establishment in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, Lin Xiao, who was still guarding Qin Jianghe on the Path of Heart-Questioning, suddenly received a system notification:
[Congratulations! Sect disciple Jiang Youfu has comprehended on his own, generating a branch cultivation method of the Origin Heart Sutra: Origin Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter, and has received a heaven and earth spiritual energy infusion, successfully reaching Foundation Establishment. The rewards have been issued to your private treasury. Please check them and arrange them reasonably, Host.]
Receiving this news so suddenly, Lin Xiao was very surprised.
He didn't understand how Fuzi could comprehend a new cultivation method just by going home to cook a meal.
And he even reached Foundation Establishment all at once!
However, this did not stop Lin Xiao from feeling happy for him.
To think that Fuzi was actually this amazing!
He could comprehend a cultivation method all by himself.
But Lin Xiao could somewhat understand this point.
After all, he himself relied on the system's cultivation method synthesis function to create methods, while Fuzi had independently comprehended a new cultivation method with just his Qi Condensation cultivation base!
Although the name indicated that this method was a branch developed upon the foundation of the Origin Heart Sutra.
But this was still a path he had carved out on his own in the journey of cultivation.
In other words, this was the foundation of his cultivation.
Wasn't this exactly what Foundation Establishment meant?
By his own power, he had found his cultivation foundation, so the spiritual energy of heaven and earth infused into him.
Even though he wasn't the one who achieved this, Lin Xiao sincerely felt happy and proud of him.
As expected of his brother!
Then, thinking of the rewards the system had just mentioned, and how it had uncharacteristically added a sentence telling him to check and arrange them reasonably.
Lin Xiao opened his private treasury to take a look.
He then saw that among the newly acquired items, there were three new things.
[Immortal Food Spirit Ladle], [Immortal Food Cleaver], and [Immortal Food Cauldron].
One could figure out with their toes that these three items were meant for Fuzi.
Lin Xiao used the appraisal function on these three items.
[Immortal Food Spirit Ladle: Heaven-tier high-grade magical artifact. A growth-type magical artifact that can upgrade alongside its master's cultivation and comprehension. Restricted to cultivators of the Origin Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter. Its effects can be comprehended and added independently by cultivators of this method.]
[Immortal Food Cleaver: Heaven-tier high-grade magical artifact. A growth-type magical artifact that can upgrade alongside its master's cultivation and comprehension. Restricted to cultivators of the Origin Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter. Its effects can be comprehended and added independently by cultivators of this method.]
[Immortal Food Cauldron: Heaven-tier high-grade magical artifact. A growth-type magical artifact that can upgrade alongside its master's cultivation and comprehension. Restricted to cultivators of the Origin Heart Sutra: Immortal Food Chapter. Its effects can be comprehended and added independently by cultivators of this method.]
Seeing the details revealed by the appraisal function, Lin Xiao smiled.
Fuzi hadn't just created a cultivation method on his own; he even brought along a whole set of tools.
Lin Xiao thought that he would give these items to Fuzi as soon as he returned.
Closing the private treasury, Lin Xiao noticed that Qin Jianghe beside him seemed to be waking up.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before he saw Qin Jianghe suddenly snap his eyes open.
He first looked around with a hint of confusion, and only then did he realize where he was.
Everything that had just happened was merely a dream.
Qin Jianghe let out a long breath, then looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of smiles and said:
Brother Xiao, you really didn't lie to me.
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
Unimpeded.
Clearly, he had passed the screening of the Path of Heart-Questioning.
Originally, on his way back, he had been quite worried about whether he would fail the Path of Heart-Questioning and be unable to return to the sect.
However, Brother Xiao had told him that he definitely could.
Seeing him wake up, Lin Xiao stood up, cast a dust-cleansing spell on his own backside, and smiled:
Of course. How could the Path of Heart-Questioning I set up possibly shut you guys out?
After cleaning his clothes, Lin Xiao said to Qin Jianghe:
Let's go, let's head back to the sect.
Qin Jianghe smiled comfortably:
Alright.
Treading on the Path of Heart-Questioning covered in peach petals, the two walked all the way back to the sect.
On the way, Lin Xiao asked:
What are your plans for coming back this time?
Qin Jianghe replied:
The escort agency is currently being managed by my two cousins and Yu Xiao. They've gotten the hang of it now, so it doesn't matter if I leave for a while.
Saying this, he paused before continuing:
I came back this time because I received a letter from Baldy saying you were preparing to enter seclusion for a long period. Coincidentally, when discussing various sect affairs with Baldy recently, I had some ideas. So I rushed back to talk with you guys face-to-face about the specific details.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded:
I see. You've worked hard, Qin Jianghe, having to worry about the business outside and still worry about the sect's affairs.
Qin Jianghe laughed heartily and said:
How come after not seeing each other for a few days, you've become so polite, Brother Xiao? We are brothers, what's the point of saying such things?
Besides, although I say it's because of this matter or that matter, the truth is I just wanted to come back and see the changes in our sect, walk this Path of Heart-Questioning, and see if I had changed. That's why I came back.
Having been out for so long, I missed everyone.
When the two returned to the sect, Lin Xiao dragged Qin Jianghe all over the place, taking him to see and introducing him to all the newly appeared items, buildings, and sect members.
Afterward, he handed him a white key to the sect's storehouse.
This is the key to our storehouse. You are our financial elder, so you keep this. I also gave Baldy one, figuring that when you aren't in the sect, the various expenses of the sect can be disbursed through him.
He also took him to see the small garden that served as the entrance to the sect's secret realm, recounting his various experiences in Yuanling City and the Icefield Secret Realm.
He even took him to visit the Nature Terrace where he was about to enter seclusion.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
