Chapter 26 – Upright and Majestic Senior Brother
Liu Shuang and Lu Youyou, who were revered as fairies by many disciples of the Divine Sword Peak, actually did such a thing.
In front of so many people, they collected the bones they had gnawed clean, and their ravenous eating manner during the meal was completely different from their usual demeanor.
It was as if a sound of a dream shattering echoed in their hearts.
"Why have Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Youyou become like this?"
Some disciples were unwilling to believe it, but more were curious about what kind of magic the kitchen's meals held that could drive so many disciples crazy.
For a moment, more people made up their minds to come and try it out tomorrow.
Ye Changqing, of course, was unaware of this.
After dinner, the disciples cleaned up and gradually left, but strangely, Hongzun did not come tonight.
In the end, it was Lu Youyou who explained that their master had something to attend to, so he couldn't make it.
"I see."
Ye Changqing nodded with a smile, and after seeing everyone off, the system notification sounded.
[Received one praise, Talent +1, Cultivation Level +1]
[Received one praise, Constitution +1, Cultivation Level +1]
[Received one praise, Comprehension +1, Cultivation Level +1]
[Received one praise, Mind-Illumination Technique +1, Cultivation Level +1]
This meal garnered a total of eight hundred praises, and even the cultivation technique improved. One must say, a life with cheats is indeed simple and unadorned.
"Open the panel."
[Host: Ye Changqing.]
[Identity: Menial Disciple of Dao Yi Sect.]
[Cultivation Level: Body Refinement Realm Perfection (823/1000)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mind-Illumination Technique, Minor Accomplishment (16/1000)]
[Prestige: Unknown.]
[Talent: Mid-grade Lower Tier (630/1000)]
[Constitution: Mid-grade Lower Tier (749/1000)]
[Comprehension: High-grade Mid Tier (831/100000)]
Just a bit more to break through in cultivation level, and the Mind-Illumination Technique has directly advanced to minor accomplishment.
It's worth noting that Ye Changqing only started practicing the Mind-Illumination Technique yesterday, and in one day, he advanced from beginner to minor accomplishment, a speed that is simply defying the heavens.
With the breakthrough in the Mind-Illumination Technique, a new understanding emerged in his mind, deepening his comprehension and experience of the technique.
Trying to operate the Mind-Illumination Technique, it was indeed much smoother than before, and the cultivation speed increased significantly.
"Not bad."
Satisfied, he nodded, practiced for an hour as usual, soaked in a medicinal bath, and then went to sleep peacefully.
Ye Changqing's attitude towards cultivation has always been a balance of work and rest.
Even with the system, he wouldn't slack off, but there was no need to push himself too hard either; just take it normally.
Having experienced the grind of a 996 work schedule in his previous life, in this life, Ye Changqing just wants to take it easy.
Neither being a slacker nor overworking himself.
At night, Divine Sword Peak doesn't differ much from the daytime.
There are small lights along the mountain path, the gentle glow emitted by Night Pearls.
Disciples are also seen walking in the mountains, and some are practicing in the martial arts field.
Throughout Divine Sword Peak, probably only Ye Changqing maintains the habit of sleeping on time, unlike other disciples.
Cultivation is the most important thing for them, and now, eating has been added to that list.
At the summit, in Hongzun's cave abode, he was looking helplessly at a young man in front of him.
He didn't go to the kitchen for dinner tonight because of this young man, who was none other than Hongzun's eldest disciple and the senior brother of Divine Sword Peak.
As the senior brother, Zhao Zhengping holds high prestige in Divine Sword Peak.
Not just because of his status, but also because of his hatred for evil and his righteous character.
In every aspect, Zhao Zhengping is a qualified senior brother, except for being somewhat rigid and stubborn.
Like now, he returned from a mission and insisted on reporting the mission details to Hongzun, leaving Hongzun helpless.
Missing dinner made Hongzun feel quite upset.
After listening for several hours, the gist was that Zhao Zhengping went out to hunt down a powerful evil spirit.
This spirit was very strong, occupying an area, and even committed a massacre, which caught the attention of Dao Yi Sect, leading to Zhao Zhengping's intervention.
The mission was a complete success, and Zhao Zhengping killed the spirit.
However, according to his investigation, there is a very mysterious force behind the spirit, possibly involving a ghost king.
So Zhao Zhengping was very concerned and specifically came to report to Hongzun, hoping the sect would pay more attention and find this force to eradicate it.
"Zhengping, I understand what you said. If there's nothing else, go rest early. You've been working hard."
After listening to Zhao Zhengping, Hongzun spoke, but Zhao Zhengping replied earnestly.

"Disciple is not tired. Protecting the people and eliminating demons is the responsibility of us cultivators."
Hongzun was not surprised by Zhao Zhengping's response. He is just that kind of person—rigid, stubborn, but with a heart for the people, upright and unyielding.
But right now, he really wasn't in the mood to discuss these matters. His mind was full of Ye Changqing's cooking. Damn it, why didn't he get to eat tonight?
"Alright, I know you care for the world. I will inform the sect to investigate."
"Yes, disciple will take his leave."
Finally getting rid of Zhao Zhengping, Hongzun looked at the sky and sighed helplessly, choosing to meditate and wait for breakfast tomorrow.
The night passed quickly, and as the morning sun rose, figures emerged from various areas of Divine Sword Peak, all heading towards the foot of the mountain.
Needless to say, these were disciples heading to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Damn, why are there so many people?"
An outer sect disciple, after finishing a night of cultivation, rushed out of his courtyard without delay.
He thought he was early, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw people rushing out from every courtyard, all with the same goal as him.
Damn it, why are there so many people? The disciple was speechless, but his speed increased.
Unfortunately, everyone was sprinting madly, and no one gained any advantage.
The same was true in the inner sect disciple area, with disciples rushing out from all directions, converging on the main path, forming a stream of people flowing towards the mountain's base.
"Hurry, hurry, these guys woke up too early."
"Stop pushing, we're still on the mountainside, is it necessary?"
"Sometimes losing is just losing at the starting line, don't block the way, Light Step."
Early in the morning, the entire Divine Sword Peak was in an uproar, the mixed spiritual power fluctuations quickly alerting the elders of the peak.
Standing at the mountain top, the elders watched the streams of people rushing down the mountain, their faces filled with confusion.
"Are they going to war?"
"What are these little brats going crazy about so early in the morning?"
So many people rushing down the mountain like their lives depended on it, anyone unaware might think demons were attacking the mountain.
