Chapter 785: Chapter 783: The Self-Righteous Sect Leader’s Daughter

Xia An’an.

Daughter of the Elixir Sect Leader, at the age of twenty, she already reached the Foundation Establishment Peak.

She was expected to form a Golden Core before the age of thirty and become a powerhouse in the Golden Core Stage Realm.

Known as the favored daughter of the Nine Provinces, she was stunningly beautiful and an eternal legend, the goddess in the hearts of countless Elixir Sect disciples.

Just as Xia An’an entered the lake,

she unexpectedly stepped on something soft, then a large hand grabbed her ankle, causing her face to show a drastic change.

Without a second thought.

She quickly freed herself from the grip of the hand and struck out with a palm.

Bang!

The lake water exploded, and Xu Wendong screamed as he flew to the shore, his face pale as wax, anger barely concealed in his eyes.

He looked at the figure standing on the water in a pink halter top, and yelled irritably, ”Do you have some sort of serious illness?”

Although the woman’s demeanor was ethereal and her figure quite alluring,

her attack was excessively ruthless.

Fortunately, Xu Wendong had just stepped into the Sixth Level of Foundation Establishment, with significantly improved endurance; otherwise, that palm strike might have cost him half his life.

Xia An’an was furious, ”You hid in the water to peep at this Miss, yet you question whether I’m sick? Do you really think this Miss doesn’t dare to kill you?”

Feeling the anger emanating from the other person, Xu Wendong was a bit intimidated, subconsciously stepping back two paces, and loudly replied, ”Are you reasonable? When did I ever peep at you?”

Xia An’an’s eyes were icy, ”Were you not hiding in the water just now, peeping at this Miss?”

”Please, I was just taking a bath in the water, okay? When did I peep at you?” Xu Wendong became angrier as he spoke, ”Also, this is my master’s territory, how dare you, a trespasser, accuse others of peeping at you? Don’t you know any reason?”

Although Xu Wendong had just become a disciple of the Elixir Sect, he knew that every elder had their own territory; the entire Emerald Bamboo Forest was Wuming’s territory.

Xia An’an was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, ”Are you Elder Wuming’s disciple?”

Xu Wendong let out a chilly hum, ”Yes, I just apprenticed to Elder Wuming today. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see my master now, and let him prove my identity.”

A flicker of panic crossed Xia An’an’s eyes, ”Even if you are Elder Wuming’s disciple, why were you hiding at the bottom of the lake? Isn’t that peeping?”

”Ha!” Xu Wendong laughed angrily, ”Do you have a brain? Or is it full of water? This is my master’s territory; I can do whatever I want here. What right do you as an outsider have to question me?”

Xia An’an was enraged!

A fierce anger rose within her heart.

As the daughter of the Elixir Sect Leader, a favored daughter of the Nine Provinces, when had she ever been humiliated like this?

Before she could react, Xu Wendong’s voice rang out again, ”I just apprenticed to Elder Wuming today, I only know him in the entire Elixir Sect, how could I be hiding at the bottom of the lake peeping at you?”

”Wasn’t···”

”Where did you get the confidence to think you have such charm?”

”You don’t think you’re a fairy descended from heaven, do you?”

”Miss, aren’t you being too full of yourself?”

”Wake up, not everyone revolves around you.”

”You’re nothing.” With that, he clutched his chest, dragging his weary body toward the bamboo house.

Xia An’an stood there in a daze.

It wasn’t until Xu Wendong entered the bamboo house that she came back to her senses.

She seemed soulless, her eyes dull, then she waved her right hand, and the long skirt that had fallen at the shore flew over.

After putting it on, Xia An’an’s figure disappeared into the night.

------

The spiritual energy in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World was exceptionally rich.

Although Xu Wendong suffered a palm strike from Xia An’an last night, after a night’s cultivation, his injuries had completely healed.

He was refreshed and in high spirits.

After retrieving pots, pans, and bowls from the storage space, Xu Wendong began preparing breakfast.

The breakfast was simple, tomato and egg noodles.

Sprinkled with some fragrant green onions, it looked quite appetizing.

After finishing, he brought two bowls of noodles to Wuming’s bamboo house and said, ”Master, your disciple has cooked some noodles, please come out and eat!”

Wuming walked out of the bamboo house, showing no expression on his face, ”If I remember correctly, I told you yesterday not to disturb me unless necessary.”

Xu Wendong cautiously asked, ”Isn’t eating considered important?”

Wuming furrowed his brow in confusion, ”Why do you think eating is an important matter? Even if you don’t eat, you won’t starve, right?”

Xu Wendong replied, ”Indeed, a cultivator doesn’t need to eat; they can nourish their body by absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.”

”But in my opinion, the more one cultivates, the more they should eat, and they should have three meals a day.”

Wuming disapprovingly shook his head, ”Your thinking is quite unhealthy. You should know that Immortals transcend earthly consumption. However... I am willing to give you a chance to explain yourself.”

Wuming didn’t agree with Xu Wendong’s view, because in the eyes of cultivators, transcending earthly consumption is what makes one an Immortal. Thus, many cultivators rarely eat.

They believe eating would interfere with their cultivation and waste unnecessary time.

Assuming three meals a day, just cooking and eating would waste a lot of time.

This time could be better used for cultivation.

However, Xu Wendong was already at the Foundation Establishment level at a young age, indicating he had a different perspective.

Xu Wendong politely said, ”What Master said earlier is right; indeed, Immortals transcend earthly consumption, but we are still of flesh and blood. All our efforts and hard cultivation are for the sake of becoming Immortals.”

”Since we are human, is there any reason not to consume the grains of the world?”

”Only by constantly reminding ourselves that we are human can we have a clear mind and not forget our original intention of becoming Immortals.”

Wuming’s pupils quaked, muttering, ”Are we... truly human?”

Xu Wendong’s words had a powerful impact on him.

Ever since he became a cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm, he considered himself as transcending being a mere cultivator, especially after forming a Golden Core when he viewed himself as an Immortal.

Since then, he had cut off all earthly consumption.

However, even though he could form a Golden Core and perform sword flight, he hadn’t transcended the category of being ”human!”

Xu Wendong’s remarks had given him a lesson.

”Master, quickly eat, or the noodles will become soggy.” Xu Wendong handed over the noodles.

Wuming came back to his senses, reached out to accept the breakfast Xu Wendong offered, and then they both sat in the bamboo grove and ate.

After a moment, Wuming finished the noodles in his bowl, and with lingering satisfaction, licked his lips, saying, ”Your cooking is alright. Since you say humans need three meals a day, from now on, meals will be your responsibility.”

Xu Wendong laughed, ”Isn’t that within a disciple’s duties?”

”Well, I won’t disturb Master’s cultivation any longer.” With that, he packed up the dishes and left the back mountain, heading toward the Elixir Sect’s Spiritual Fields.

He had to gather herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill!
