Shen Long and the other new disciples made their way toward the Spiritual Meal Pavilion.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by an enticing aroma that intensified their hunger.

The main hall of the Spiritual Meal Pavilion was spacious and bright, with dozens of tables and stools arranged inside.

Some of the older disciples were having their meals.

Behind a long, green counter, a few Qi Refining Cultivators stood.

Two of them were using long ladles to serve food to the new disciples, while another was holding a green Law Disk in hand, with bowls and chopsticks laid out in front of them.

Shen Long took out his identity plaque and placed it on the green Law Disk.

A green light shone from it for a moment before he picked up two wooden bowls and a pair of chopsticks.

A bowl of porridge and two buns were the evening meal for the new disciples.

The porridge was refillable, no limit to the amount.

The food contained spiritual energy, which was somewhat beneficial to their cultivation.

Carrying his food, Shen Long walked over to an empty table and sat down.

After taking a sip of the porridge, he found it soft and tasty, with a rich rice flavor spreading in his mouth.

Shen Long quickly finished one bowl of Spirit Rice Porridge and refilled it.

His emotions were complex, mixed with excitement, exhilaration, and novelty.

Never had he tasted such delicious food; he had nearly grown sick of Golden Bead Spirit Rice.

Qin Bao and the other new disciples from Loose Cultivator backgrounds drank their porridge and ate the fluffy buns, revealing expressions of happiness on their faces, and some even felt a twinge of emotion.

They used to scrimp and save, wishing they could split a single Spirit Stone in two to make it last, let alone afford Spirit Rice Porridge.

Being admitted to the Spirt Control Sect meant they could now enjoy Spirit Rice Porridge without any limit and free of charge.

Qin Bao devoured eight bowls of porridge in one go, and the rest of the new disciples from Loose Cultivator backgrounds also drank several more bowls each.

They couldn’t even dare to dream of such treatment.

Gu Tianhong, Tang Yuting, and other new disciples from cultivation families were disinterested.

A mere fifty Spirit Stones could buy them a table of Spiritual Meals with five dishes and one soup.

Gu Tianhong spent two hundred Spirit Stones and arranged a feast with nine dishes, one soup, and Spiritual Wine, entertaining the fellow sect members who joined his group.

Tang Yuting spent a hundred Spirit Stones to arrange a table of Spiritual Meals as well.

Shen Long remained unmoved, contently sipping his porridge, finding the taste of the buns quite pleasing.

Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang, carrying their food, came over and joined Shen Long at his table.

Qian Dafu, carrying his food, approached and said, “Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Shen, do you mind if I sit here?”

Shen Long, after swallowing a mouthful of porridge, nodded with a smile, “Junior Brother Qian, you’re too polite.

Please, take a seat!”

Qian Dafu thanked him and set down his food.

“This Spirit Rice Porridge is made from biennial White Jade Spirit Rice, and it tastes rather good.

The buns are made from Jade Bead Wheat, which can advance essence and increase mana for cultivators below the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

It’s not very effective for those above the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

I have better quality Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat for sale if you’re interested.”

Qian Dafu took a sip of porridge and enthusiastically said.

Shen Long and the others smiled and nodded as Qian Dafu, quite the chatterbox, continued to talk while eating, introducing all kinds of wares from elixirs to clothing.

“Junior Brother Qian, have you opened a shop to do business?”

Ye Yuqing asked curiously.

“Not exactly, I just know a few people and get goods at a cheaper rate.

I can assure you they’re good quality and at a fair price here on Qinglian Peak,” Qian Dafu said confidently.

Ye Yuqing was about to say something when she suddenly paused, as if seeing something unbelievable.

Shen Long curiously followed Ye Yuqing’s gaze and saw a young woman in her twenties.

The woman was dressed in a red blouse and skirt, with her long black hair done up in a Flying-Immortal Hairstyle, adorned with a red jade hairpin.

With naturally elegant brows and sparkling eyes, her skin was as fair as snow and her waist slim.

The girl in the red dress sat alone at a table, which held nine dishes, one soup, and a large bowl of Spirit Rice Meal.

She ate quickly; in a matter of moments, a bowl of rice had gone into her stomach.

“This is Ning Qianqian, Junior Sister Ning, a descendant of a hero.

The sect granted her a large consolation and kind attribute, and her salary is thrice that of an ordinary Qi Refining Disciple,” Qian Dafu said softly.

“A hero?

Do all heroes receive this treatment?”

Shen Long asked, curious.

“Not exactly.

Her parents were Foundation Establishment Cultivators who were killed while carrying out a mission.

Starting from Junior Sister Ning, five generations can enjoy thrice the standard salary.

Even if Junior Sister Ning has no interest in cultivation, the sect will support her for life, ensuring she never worries about food or clothing.

If she marries and has children, the sect will also present a congratulatory gift,” Qian Dafu explained.

“What if a Qi Refining Cultivator sacrifices for the sect?”

Ye Yuqing asked.

“The direct descendants can enjoy a double salary, but it’s limited to one generation, plus a consolation and kind attribute, the amount of which depends on their contributions,” Qian Dafu explained.

“Is she also a disciple of Green Cloud Peak?”

Shen Long continued to ask.

Qian Dafu shook his head and said, “No, she resides at Purple Cloud Peak and inherited her parents’ cave dwelling and property.

She has a hundred mu of Spirit Fields, fifty mu of orchards, and two storefronts.

Whoever marries her will be set for life.

However, she cultivates a rather special technique and has a greater appetite.

She’s almost tried every dish offered by the Spiritual Meal Pavilion of the One Hundred and Eight Peaks!”

“Won’t someone target her?

Without the care of a high-ranking cultivator, can she, just a Qi Refining Cultivator, secure such a fortune?”

Shen Long asked with curiosity.

Qian Dafu’s expression became serious as he spoke, “It’s inevitable for people to turn cold after one passes, but it won’t go too far.

Anyone who dares to insult a hero can’t get past the Enforcement Hall.

If the Enforcement Hall turns a blind eye, the hero’s descendants can ring the Spirt Control Bell and directly report to the Sect Leader and Ancestor. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Our sect has the Heroes Hall specifically to handle the living and cultivation issues of the descendants of heroes.

In our Spirt Control Sect, insulting a hero is an especially serious offense.

If there’s a good position available and the descendant of a hero is eligible, they are given priority.

When there’s a major celebration within the sect, the descendants of heroes also receive cultivation resources.

In short, as long as the Spirt Control Sect exists, the descendants of heroes will live without concerns for food and clothing.”

With great respect, Shen Long and the others looked on in awe.

No wonder the Spirt Control Sect had been passed down for over fifty thousand years; this system was indeed excellent.

By this time, Ning Qianqian had finished eating and drinking her fill.

Liu Yu approached enthusiastically and said, “Junior Sister Ning, how was it?

Did it suit your taste?”

“Not bad.

The soup was a bit salty, but it was bearable.

I have matters to attend to, so I’ll come again another day,” Ning Qianqian remarked, then stood up and left.

Stepping out of the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, she slapped the silver Spirit Beast bag at her waist, and a silver light flew out, transforming into a silver giant lion half the size of a man, with golden bird wings sprouting from its back and silver arcs of electricity wrapped around its limbs.

“A late-stage Tier One Gold-Winged Thunder Lion!” Ye Yutang exclaimed in surprise.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Lion was adept at wind and thunder attribute spells and possessed formidable divine skills; Ning Qianqian’s use of such a creature for transportation indicated significant wealth.

The Gold-Winged Thunder Lion lay down, and Ning Qianqian jumped onto its back.

Loud sounds of wind and thunder filled the air, and with a gentle flap of its wings, the Gold-Winged Thunder Lion soared into the sky and quickly disappeared from sight.

Qi Refining Disciples like Shen Long were full of envy, while Gu Tianhong’s eyes flickered.

If he could form a dual cultivation partnership with Ning Qianqian, his path of cultivation would become much smoother.
