Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 412 My Disciple, Who Will Fight for Him?
Inside the Xuanmu Cave, Ge Xing was working hard to advocate for Chen Xu.

Master Hong is like a wooden figure; you could tap him ten times and he wouldn't even budge.

Ge Xing was so anxious that he almost reached out and poured the spiritual drink directly into Master Hong's mouth.

As for Liao Zhenfeng's matter, Ge Xing made a casual remark, but quickly put it out of his mind.

It's not that we lack camaraderie, but rather that some things are best left unsaid to outsiders.

Inside the Reception Hall, Ye Ningzhen turned her gaze to Chen Xu, which was also a way of paving the way for Chen Xu.

At first, when Ye Ningzhen looked over, no one else understood what she meant.

This includes the Nascent Soul Ancestor, Master Mao.

After all, although Master Mao was in the Nascent Soul stage, he was not some kind of divine being who could predict the future, nor did he possess any supernatural abilities such as telepathy.

He frowned slightly, and followed Ye Ningzhen's gaze to look at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu paused slightly, then turned around.

The other disciples beside him all left one after another.

Only Zhou Hou and Ji Yang noticed that he paused slightly, so they immediately stopped as well.

Ji Yang's heart was pounding wildly.

Everyone else was puzzled as to why Ye Ningzhen was looking at Chen Xu, but Ji Yang had exceptionally strong confidence in Chen Xu.

Therefore, based on Mao Zhenren's previous question, Ji Yang vaguely understood the meaning behind Ye Ningzhen's gaze.

His own conjectures echoed in his mind, and his heart was filled with excitement that was hard to express.

Boom boom boom!
Hearing his heart pounding like a drum, Ji Yang turned and stopped. He didn't dare to look at the Nascent Soul Ancestor, so he fixed his gaze on Ye Ningzhen.

Senior Sister, why don't you say something!

Finally, after almost all the other disciples had left the Reception Hall, leaving only the original inner hall stewards and Chen Xu and a few others in the hall, Ye Ningzhen spoke:

“Ancestor, it’s not that I suddenly have an epiphany.”

"This disciple has finally found an opportunity that allows me to contemplate the true meaning of the sword."

This statement was quite cryptic, and when Ye Ningzhen uttered it, those present, such as Ji Yang and Zhou Hou, couldn't understand it at all.

What does it mean to have an "opportunity to think"?
Ji Yang thought to himself, "Didn't the senior's spiritual drink increase Senior Sister Ye's comprehension?"

Ji Yang's mind was being misled by the Purple Spirit Pearl that Chen Xu had previously created.

If the Purple Spirit Pearl can stimulate comprehension, then the Spring Breeze Melting Snow Drink, which has even more spirituality and vital energy than the Purple Spirit Pearl, should do the same.

However, in reality, the Spring Breeze Melting Snow Drink does not actually enhance comprehension!
These conclusions were already drawn when we tested the spiritual drinks with the True Jade Talisman.

It's just that Ji Yang's perspective was different, and he subconsciously deified Chen Xu, which is why he disregarded the conclusion of the True Jade Talisman and imposed attributes on the Spring Breeze Melting Snow Drink out of thin air.

Ji Yang didn't understand Ye Ningzhen's words; he could only stand aside and nod vigorously.

At the same time, his face was flushed and his eyes were bright.

This provides the perfect backdrop for the atmosphere at the time.

Master Mao's gaze swept over him, then landed on Chen Xu. Gradually, the scrutinizing frown he had shown earlier turned into a subtle joy.

But this joy was mixed with subtle doubts.

"You..." Master Mao began to ask, "Are you a newly recruited disciple?"

Chen Xu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Disciple Chen Xu has come to the Hall of Guidance today to be recorded in the Book of Spirits."

Master Mao said with an "Oh," and then said, "You're not even recorded in the Spirit Register? In other words, you're not even considered a formal disciple of my Divine Mechanism Sect?"

"Yes," Chen Xu replied.

"Did Xiaoye bring this back for you?" Master Mao asked again.

Chen Xu should be the same.

"What did you do? You actually gave Xiaoyezi the opportunity to think about the way of the sword?"

"Could it be that you are also a swordsmanship genius?" Wow, this is the harm of erroneous language.

Ye Ningzhen's previous answer to Master Mao's question was not actually meant to be mysterious.

However, her way of expressing herself, which requires the listener to "understand," can indeed lead to all sorts of misunderstandings.

Master Mao mistakenly identified Chen Xu as a swordsmanship genius.

Just as Chen Xu was about to deny it, Master Mao suddenly stepped forward.

Suddenly he appeared in front of Chen Xu and slapped Chen Xu on the shoulder.

The Nascent Soul elder laughed and said, "Excellent! Let me examine your bones and assess your age and aptitude..."

As he spoke, Master Mao's large and nimble hands seemed to transform into two butterflies flitting among flowers, tapping and pressing on various joints and vital points on Chen Xu's body.

His movements were so fast that he could even leave afterimages.

Chen Xu used reason to suppress the urge to dodge, while simultaneously suppressing the golden core firmly within his dantian, preventing it from revealing any trace of its aura.

The effects of the "Follow Your Heart Pill" continued to work on him, disguising his cultivation level as late-stage Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, a mist shrouded his literary world, causing his scholarly aura to remain hidden.

As for the rest, Chen Xu doesn't need to hide anything.

He didn't falsify his age—

The light in Master Mao's eyes gradually became clearer: "Bone age eighteen years old, cultivation level late Foundation Establishment!"
With abundant essence and vital energy, and a complete and perfect spirit, one can achieve a perfect foundation.

Tsk tsk tsk, with such golden tendons and jade bones, kid, you must be some disciple from a big sect who sneaked out to play tricks on our little sect, right?

No, no, no, that's impossible. What major sect would let a disciple like you go?
No, that’s not right either!
You...you are a perfect Foundation Establishment cultivator, possessing all three elements, but you lack a Dao Body.

Alas, without a physical body, one can be negated in everything.

Those high-ranking sects are so arrogant. If they don't have the Dao body, how can they be considered true disciples?

What a pity, what a pity…"

At this point, Master Mao's tone even showed heartache.

He walked on his feet, his palms twirling.

The final palm strike suddenly emerged like a cloud from a mountain peak, striking Chen Xu's Dazhui acupoint on his back!

This is one of the fatal points of the human body. For cultivators, although being hit by it is not necessarily fatal, it depends on who the attacker is.

If it were a Nascent Soul ancestor like Master Mao, and his sudden palm strike landed, Chen Xu would probably lose half his life, if not die.

Chen Xu rationally believed that Master Mao would not harm him without a reason.

But sometimes, reason can not control instinct.

The moment he felt the wind rushing towards his back, Chen Xu suddenly shifted his stance, and his right palm, as swift as mist and lightning, suddenly extended from an unbelievable angle.

boom!
He used his palm as a knife to block Master Mao's palm strike.

The moment their palms clashed, Chen Xu unleashed a torrent of true energy from his palm, vast and fierce, truly like a dragon or snake breaking through waves.

However, Master Mao's palm did not resemble a palm; rather, it seemed like a vast ocean or an abyss.

Although Chen Xu's palm strike was powerful, it failed to create even the slightest ripple in the opponent's palm.

Chen Xu felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt a slight force exerted by the other person's palm, and in a flash, an idea struck Chen Xu.

In an instant, he used the slight recoil to retreat three steps.

Bang bang bang!
His lower body was extremely stable, and he immediately regained his balance after taking three such steps.

Meanwhile, Master Mao withdrew his palm and burst into laughter: "Excellent palm technique, excellent foundation, and excellent innate Qi!"
"Excellent! This child should be my disciple."
