"Bring back all those who were on the mission."

Those from other sects who had infiltrated the area continued to remain hidden.

Lin Mo gave instructions to the elders standing to the side.

These elders are still useful in the short term, so Lin Mo plans to keep them to manage the daily operations of Miaoshou Pavilion.

It's not too late to retrieve the divine insect once all the disciples who went out on missions have returned.

"Yes, Master."

The elders accepted the order and left, their steps quick and efficient as they dispersed to various locations on the mountainside.

Send all the female disciples who have lost their cultivation to World Number One and let the main brain make arrangements for them.

The mastermind has already built a temporary resettlement area on the hilltop on the east side of the Chaos Ancestral Vein Valley.

After receiving the order, the mainframe mobilized hundreds of engineering robots to work day and night to level the site, pour the foundation, and build the framework.

In just a few days, rows of simple dormitories were erected on the hillside, the gray and white prefabricated panels gleaming cleanly in the sunlight.

Each dormitory room can accommodate four people, with bunk beds, and each room is equipped with a private locker and a small table.

Next to the dormitory area is the canteen, where stainless steel stoves and steamers are lined up in a row, and several automatic cooking machines are being tested. The air is filled with the aroma of the first batch of trial-produced dishes.

Further east is the bathroom area, where solar water heaters are mounted on the roof, and dozens of shower stalls are arranged in two rows, with signs indicating "Hot Water Supply Hours" hanging at the entrance.

After the disciples were sent to the resettlement area, each of them was given a beginner's cultivation manual, several sets of office lady uniforms, stockings and high heels, and were told to start their cultivation from scratch.

They stood at the dormitory entrance, clutching the thin booklet in their hands, their faces mostly blank.

They cultivated in World Five for hundreds or even thousands of years, relying on the divine insects within their bodies and the techniques bestowed by the ancestral gods.

Now that the insects are gone and their cultivation is gone, suddenly handing them a booklet with a completely unfamiliar system and making them start from scratch would make anyone take a break.

"This thing..."

"Can it be cultivated?"

A beautiful disciple from the Mystic Hands Pavilion opened the cover and frowned as she looked at the meridian diagrams and incantations on the first page.

She traced two lines on the page with her finger, then closed it again.

"It's completely different from what we used to practice."

"The pathways of the meridians are all different."

Another sweet-looking female disciple nearby also came over to take a look, pointing to the route on the diagram that went straight from the dantian to the niwan point.

"In the past, our Qi would travel along the belt meridian and around the navel."

This energy surges directly from the dantian to the top of the head; won't that cause a qi deviation and demonic possession?

"And there are no bugs on it."

The third woman, a mature and alluring type, flipped to the last page of the booklet and checked it again.

"The divine worm wasn't mentioned at all. Without the divine worm, how can one cultivate?"

"Why don't we ask first?" someone suggested in a low voice.

No one dared to ask.

Lin Mo left after taking them to the resettlement area, leaving only one sentence:

Practice first, and ask the machine girl if you don't understand anything.

In their eyes, the machine girls are just iron lumps of puppets. Although they can speak human language, they are not living people after all. Asking these iron lumps of puppets about cultivation problems always feels like something is not right.

That evening, a disciple named Feng Ling finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She sat cross-legged on the open ground outside the dormitory, spread the booklet on her lap, and tried to circulate it according to the meridian routes on the first page.

She used to be a late-stage True God, and having become accustomed to her cultivation level, losing it all was truly distressing for her.

He used to be able to easily smash mountains and split rocks, but now he gets breathless even when carrying water or moving things.

Close your eyes and try to guide your breath using a new route, starting from the dantian, going straight up to the niwan point, then turning back and descending, circling the Ren and Du meridians once.

The first time, I didn't feel anything.

There was no second time either.

The third time, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her back, and a warm current rushed up from her tailbone, climbing along her spine. As it passed the back of her head, it gave her goosebumps, and finally flowed into the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head, dispersing into a cool drizzle.

She opened her eyes, her pupils filled with shock.

"What's wrong?" The female disciple next to her came over.

"My meridians... are truly open."

Feng Ling's voice trembled slightly.

"It's a completely different route from before, but it's definitely feasible."

Moreover, after the passage was cleared, the sensation of Qi was even stronger than before.

"Really?"

Several people gathered around, half-believing and half-doubting, and opened their booklets to try out the routes.

An hour later, a dozen female disciples sat cross-legged on the open ground, their expressions changing from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise to excitement.

"This route is weird, but it's walkable!"

"Mine is working too!"

From my lower abdomen to the soles of my feet, it made a big circle, and my soles felt warm.

"Look at the Foundation Building chapter on the second page. It says that when you cultivate to a certain level, you can condense a golden core in your dantian."

What is the Golden Elixir?

We didn't have this before.

"I don't know, but it sounds pretty impressive."

As news spread that cultivation was indeed possible, the open space in the resettlement area was soon filled with people sitting cross-legged.

The female disciples circulated their energy repeatedly according to the instructions in the booklet. Some frowned, some smiled, and some closed their eyes and chanted incantations.

They gradually discovered that although this cultivation system did not have divine insects, its path was more precise, its levels were more distinct, and each step had clear markers and advancement methods.

Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation—each level has its corresponding incantation and verification method.

"In the past, cultivation relied entirely on insects. Once the insects were full, we could level up, but how or why we leveled up was completely unclear."

A disciple named Yu Mei remarked to the person next to her,

"This technique is different; every step makes sense, and I can feel how I'm getting stronger."

"Yes, although the cultivation speed has slowed down a lot, the path is becoming more and more stable."

No heartburn!

And it can also establish rules...

The disciple next to him chuckled in agreement.

Besides the awe-inspiring aspects of their cultivation, what dazzled them even more were the living facilities in the resettlement area.

Someone had been practicing all night and was covered in dew. His white shirt was sticking to his body and he felt uncomfortable, so he decided to take a shower.

Upon arriving in the bathroom, she turned on the showerhead as instructed by the AI.

The moment the hot water sprayed down from above, the female disciple screamed, attracting the attention of everyone outside the bathroom.

They circled the showerhead for a long time, some reaching out to touch where the hot water was coming from, others squatting down to look for the fire. Finally, they found an instruction manual on the wall that read "Solar Water Heating System".

"Hot water can be produced without burning a fire?"

The female disciple stood in the shower, hot water pouring over her shoulders, her face showing an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"Where does this water come from?"

At noon, the cafeteria's automatic cooking machine produced its first pot of braised pork.

Several female disciples stood in front of the food dispensing area, carrying stainless steel trays, watching as a mechanical arm extended from the machine, accurately scooping chunks of meat from the pot into each tray.

They carried their plates back to their seats, eating and discussing in hushed tones:

"Is this meat machine-made?"

"Can a machine make braised pork?"

"This meat tastes better than the meat I've had before."

Gradually, everyone got into the zone, and every morning before dawn, the open space was filled with figures dressed in uniform office lady outfits sitting cross-legged and practicing their exercises.

In their spare time, some people would even study the solar water heater in the bathroom.

Some people carefully studied the temperature curves on the panel, while others actively followed the mainframe to learn the underlying principles.

At night, when the lights in the dormitory building come on, there are always a few female disciples leaning against the windows, looking at the city lights on other mountains.

The lights flickered on and off, stretching along the mountain ridge, more spectacular than any lantern festival they had ever seen in the Kingdom of Women.
