Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Liu Erniu felt this matter was simply defying nature.

But Lu Wenwu did not think so.

He even felt... because Liu Erniu’s talent was somewhat too lacking, he could really not be helped, resulting in a somewhat trashy outcome.

What had Liu Erniu just experienced?

A body cleansing of ultra-high concentration Spiritual Qi which could improve some innate talent, remove impurities within the body, and incidentally repair hidden injuries.

This was a mass specially condensed by Lu Wenwu.

Otherwise, how could a place like Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven allow Spiritual Qi to leak out?

Four Spiritual Egg Pancakes.

These contained Spiritual Charm, a delicacy even top Divine Beast Tiding found hard to resist, a treasure the Ghost King would snatch up, one which when consumed could save the ghosts of the Underworld a hundred years of detours in advancement.

A few Spiritual Cuisine Roasted Lamb Ribs.

Lu Wenwu was indeed most skilled at egg pancakes, but he was still a qualified Advanced Spirit Chef, and Spiritual Cuisines made from other ingredients were also beneficial to cultivation, rare treasures.

The lamb used in this roasted dish was raised in the Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven.

These sheep usually didn’t eat grass; they consumed Spirit Plants and medicines scattered everywhere like weeds or the mutated Spirit Grain, Spirit Vegetables.

Consuming this fully marinated lamb, even if eaten raw, would have effects similar to chewing on a Low-tier Spirit Stone.

With these three steps completed, Liu Erniu was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining...

Lu Wenwu could only say he did give it his all; this child really couldn’t be carried.

Back in the day, he only needed to shed a few drops of blood to help introduce Xin Shengzhu to a higher tier...

This is the chasm between a genius and a nobody; even with external aid, it’s hard to bridge.

From a certain degree, cultivation is akin to art.

From the moment you enter the field, it’s a battle of talent; without sufficient talent, you can’t even qualify to enter, while a genius can crush those who have painstakingly cultivated for years within a very short time.

The reality is indeed brutally harsh.

Lu Wenwu’s eating speed was fast; after a whirlwind feast, he returned to his peak.

Liu Erniu’s gaze towards him grew increasingly reverent.

Having risen to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, he was now qualified to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

In the future, he no longer needed to toil over vast fields of Spirit Rice but could instead learn to cultivate Spirit Medicine.

Watching his daydreaming expression, Lu Wenwu sighed with a smile, waved his hand, and cleared the table, burning the food remnants to ash.

”Now that we’re full, show me around your temple. Is your Wood and Earth Temple welcoming to visitors?”

”Of course, of course, no problem!” Liu Erniu said excitedly, ”With you visiting my Earth and Wood Temple, our temple will bask in glory!”

”Alright, let’s go then.”

Lu Wenwu chuckled, signaling Liu Erniu to lead the way.

Liu Erniu heartily agreed, delighted beyond measure, guiding Lu Wenwu up the mountain while eagerly introducing the situation within the Wood and Earth Temple.

The Wood and Earth Temple, located within the Immortal Dao Alliance’s sphere of influence, on the border of Eastern Wilderness in this realm, a small sect living by cultivating Spirit Grain, Spirit Rice, and Low-Tier Spirit Plants as their main livelihood, with dozens of disciples.

As Lu Wenwu had suspected, this small sect was not strong.

Early-stage Qi Refining disciples were ordinary, mid-stage were Inner Sect, late-stage were True Inheritance.

At Foundation Establishment Stage, one was already an Elder within the sect, with only three such elders.

It was said that the most powerful Sect Leader had only reached the Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

This level of strength within the cultivation realm barely managed to... survive.

As a bottom-tier sect, Earth and Wood Temple had few rules and no Grand Array as in legends, only two mid-stage Qi Refining disciples guarding the mountain gate.

The two were shocked as if seeing a ghost upon encountering Liu Erniu, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, eyes wide with disbelief.

Once they heard that he had advanced three realms just by having a casual meal with the accompanying senior who planned to visit their temple, the gatekeepers’ breaths became rapid; one hurried to notify the Elder and Observatory Master.

”Senior, with such strength and miraculous power, you must be a legendary Golden Core Zhenren!”

In the Guest Hall, Liu Erniu couldn’t help but say as he served tea to Lu Wenwu.

In his mind, a Golden Core Zhenren was a significant figure, able to dominate a region.

The strongest sect within thousands of miles, Mad Blade Temple’s Mad Saber Zhenren, was a genuine Golden Core Zhenren.

If they could cultivate another Golden Core stage disciple, Mad Blade Temple would meet the requirements of the Immortal Dao Alliance, officially rising to Mad Saber Sect, becoming a pivotal force in this cultivation realm.

Sect naming requirements here were stringent; it wasn’t frivolous to choose any suffix.

The lowest ”Temple” must have a Foundation Establishment cultivator; without one, they drop rank.

The second ”Sect”, in possessing a Golden Core Zhenren, must have the ability to nurture Golden Core cultivators, mastering one of the Six Arts of Cultivation to rise to ”Sect”.

The third ”School” required even higher; beyond the Nascent Soul True Monarch, they must master at least three of the Six Arts, with one capable of reaching Nascent Soul Stage, to be known as ”School”.

The most powerful ”Order” must be versatile.

It requires a Divinity Transformation Venerable and comprehensive mastery of the Six Arts of Cultivation, each capable of reaching at least Golden Core stage, with two or more directly pointing to Nascent Soul Transformation Stage.
